Broken Down Blues [BDB] Chapter 33

Kim stood up with Joey and turned towards us. Joey was just playing with her hair and Stood next to dad. I looked at Bru and he was still looking at Kim, wide eyed and with a look of Disbelief . He sat down on the couch & I sat next to him, running his hands through his hair he looked at Kim

“I thought you were dead” Bru said

“No Bruno, I didn’t die.” Kim said

“But I was there, Mom, I was there at your funeral.”

“No Bruno..”

“NO!..No I seen them put you into the ground!”

“Bruno, listen to me. I’m not your mother”

“What?!”

“Yes.”

“Well where the hell is she & who the hell are you?”

“It’s a long story..”

“I got nothing but time”

“Bruno, I think it’ll be better explained if you ask your father”

“What Does dad have anything to do with this?”

“Just..Ask him ok”

Bruno got up & paced back and forth, fingers running through his hair and all. Baby Joey started to fuss watching his dad walk back & forth like that. He was squirming in Kim’s arms & putting his hands out. Bru stopped at looked at Joey then smiled, Joey started screaming of joy, Bru went over there and took him off of Kim.

“Dadadadadada” Joey cooed

“Hey Jojo” Bru said

“Dada”

“That’s Right Jojo i’m dada”

Bruno smiled at Joey er Jojo and he smiled back but then his face got serious. He put his little hand on Bru’s nose and stared at him. Then that’s when Bru put a serious face on, he just nodded and jojo kept staring at him.

It was like jojo was trying to tell him something, trying yo say something important. Bru put his forehead on jojo’s and made a funny face. As he did this Jojo started Laughing all crazy and clapping his little hands. Bru smiled, kissed him then looked at me nodding his head.

“Ok, OK. Babe, go grab Linda. We’re going to go see dad.” Bru said

“Are you sure you want to go over there now?” Kim said

“Yeah, I need to know what the hell is going on.”

“But..”

“No buts, he needs to explain this. Today”

“Okay..”

“I just wonder What’s his excuse”

I ran up the stairs to get Linda, I went into the twins room and there she was. Fast asleep in her crib, every time I step into this room I have to take a deep breath. The room just moves me every single time I walk through the door, dad captured it like he was there himself when Bruno first purposed to me.

I looked over at the rocking chair and seen LJ knocked out and curled up. I walk over to him and kiss him on the cheek. I pick him up, take him to the guest room and lay him on the bed, damn he looks just like dad but his hair was hers, Kims’ hair. Looking at LJ made me smile, one day Jojo and Linda will be his age. Just running around the house driving me crazy.

I walked back into the twins room and pick up Linda , she woke up right away and starting crying. I bounced her a little and she laid her head on my shoulder and went back to sleep. Packing their bag and going downstairs, I notice that Dad & Kim were sitting on the sofa and Bruno and Jojo were missing.
