"Life"

Part 3

King's pov

I didn't know what to feel. So many emotions were crashing down on me. My mother... the women who beat me senseless was released from jail. This had to be a bad fucking dream.

"King are you okay?" Uncle robert said breaking me out of my thoughts.

"Why did u feel the need to tell me this "I said trying to remain calm. I constantly had to remind myself that micah was here.

Uncle robert sighed." Because king I had a talk with her. And she seemed remorseful for what she did to you. She's a changed person and she wants you to know that. Maybe you could meet with her" he said.

I laughed." Seemed remorseful? The woman who starved me to the point where I use to black out for days and beg for food has changed. I never thought you would be the gullible type unc. That woman hasn't changed... you can't change evil" I said.

"King I know your childhood was hell and I'm not excusing what she's done. I just think if you talk with her and get everything out in the open you can begin the process of healing and maybe one day you can even forgive her" he said.

I remained silent out of fear I would lash out and scare micah. " at least read the letter. Maybe it'll shed some light on a few things" he said.

After telling me that he kissed micah and left. I looked down at the white envelope and clenched my jaw. " dada" I heard micah say.

I looked at him and smiled. I picked him up and hugged him to my chest. With micah in my arms I felt all my anxiety and rage wash away. Everytime I felt myself drowning in darkness the little bit of light which was my son would pull me back up.

"I love you son" I said.

Angel's pov

After having the whole weekend to think. I decided not to take micah to sesame place with aiden. King was right that's something a mom and dad do with their child. Besides king had respected my wished of not bringing micah around jessica so it was the least I could do.

I knocked on king's door as I thought about something me and him could do with micah as a family. A few minutes later king opened the door.

"Hey. Sorry I'm late. I had to take care of a few things. I also thought about what you said and you were right. Its not appropiate to take micah places with aiden that are meant for families" I said.

King nodded his head." Thanks angel. I appreciate it. Do you want to come in. I put micah down for a nap so it might be a while until he wakes" he said softly.

King looked out of it. "King are you okay. You look bothered by something"

"Angel.... my dad. He's alive. My mom lied about his death just to keep him away from me" he said.

I stood there in shock." Wait. What do you mean your dad is alive. How did your mom tell you this ? I thought she was in prison" I said deeply confused.

"She just got out apparently. She wrote me this letter that unc delivered to me" he explained.

I shook my head." Wow. Are you okay?" I asked grabbing his hand.

"Honestly... I don't know" he said.

"Come on let's go inside. I'll make some food while we talk more about this " I said pulling him into the house.

.................

"So are you gonna look for him?" I asked.

"Look for who?" King said looking confused.

"Your dad. I mean aren't you curious about what he looks like or what kind of man he is. Plus he is micah's grandpa" I said.

"I honestly don't see the point in it. I mean I'm a grown ass man now" he said.

"Well what about for micah? He's still a baby. Your dad might've missed out with you but he can make up for it by being there for micah" I said.

King scrunched up his face." Oh please. He would only be doing it out of guilt. My son is not a charity case" he said angrily.

"King I know your hurt by all this but your dad is the last person to blame. He didn't know you existed because your mom hid it from him. So if you wanna be mad be mad at her. This is all her doing" I told him.

He sighed. " your kind of right. Maybe I could reach out. But I want it to be just me. I wanna see what kind of man he is before I bring micah around him" he said.

"Sure. Whatever makes you comfortable. if you want I could even go with you" I offered.

King shook his head. " no. This is something I have to do on my own"

I tell him okay and change the subject. On the outside I might seem like I'm okay with this whole situation but on the inside I'm freaking out. King meeting his dad is a big deal. This meeting could either be positive or negative.

Im just praying things go well and if they do micah will have another person to call grandpa.
