Baby Mama

XLIV

"Raphael what have you done to osas this time" Helen asked after osas stormed out of the store with Ivie

"Why! Did she say something " he asked quickly

"Not exactly...... but you saw how she reacted when she saw you, she was so furious "

"Then what makes you think it has anything to do with me" Helen shrugged
"Mom you know osas she's always furious and acting like she's on a battlefield, don't look surprised she's like that 90% of the time"

"That's not true and you know it"

"Then why was she yelling before I got in here"

"Something to do with Isabel"

"What happened to Isabel "

"Isabel came here on her own, osas has been looking for her the whole day and she didn't know she was here ..... everything is just so tensed"

"I wonder whose fault that is" he raised brow

"And why are you here......? "

He cleared his throat
"Isabel told me she will be here"

"Oh! So she came here to see you. Wow! How did she arrange that"

"She sent me a message that she will be heading to grandma's after school and that I should come here to see her"

Helen gasped

"Wow! Unbelievable! That little girl played me too. Made me believe she came here to see grandma meanwhile she was just using me as a medium to see her daddy...... Now I feel used "

"What are you saying mommy"

"How did she reach you though, she doesn't even have a phone"

"Well...., she used her friend's phone to message me "

"Why do I feel like this is not the first time " Helen shook her head
"So osas has every right to be worried. Why would you even encourage such, very soon you'll buy her a phone so she can be sneaking around with it to communicate with you and that's a whole distraction on it own."

"Mommy whose child in this day and age doesn't have a mobile phone "

"Plenty, she's still a child if you need to communicate with her you go through her mother but if you continue to disregard her mother she starts leaning towards you because you're the soft parent and with your backing she can start to disrespect her mother"

"Well it's not exactly easy to deal with osas"

"Since when....., I thought you guys were doing okay but when I suggested to invite her and Isabel to the wedding you turned it down abruptly. You are the one who stopped regarding her family and now you're complaining "

"Mom! You and I know that would have been a disaster and I don't want that chaos on my wedding"

"Why would you even say that"

"You know how she is......very irrational and unreasonable "

"She's still the mother of your child so you need to cut her some slacks"

"That's how we got here, why I have to be sneaking around to see my own daughter"

"Is osas not letting you see your daughter"

"Wendy went there over the weekend and osas literally kicked her out"

"Why would you ask Wendy to go to your baby mama's house, does that sound smart to you, you know they don't get along"

"Well she's my wife mom..... we are one now"

"That doesn't stop you from being logical, you don't pin two headstrong people together and not expect explosion"
