3 months later and things have been going ok. I still haven't been inside his room and that's great for me. Whenever he has Jaze in there he usually has to get out his bed and bring her to me at the door. 

Today I had the day off and the children were with Ma. I been up sine 9am and I have basically finished cleaning all the house. I even made dinner. The only things I needed to do was finish up the laundry (the kids and my things) and to vaccum the living room floor. But all of that could wait because I needed a nap. I laid right on the couch and drifted off.

When I finally woke up, I realized that I was covered up in a blanket. I pushed the covers off of me and remembered I needed to finish laundry. I walked to the laundry room and watched Ray fold our things. 

"You know you can do my laundry too if you want"

"No I'm ok just doing mine and the kids things"

"Thanks for cleaning the house but you missed my room"

"No I didn't. I cleaned the spaces that I got into."

"What's up with you not going into my room?"

"There is just no reason for me to be in there Ray"

"Girl you know you can barely handle being around me so just admit it being in my room would make you want me more?"

"Who told you this lie?"

"Your face says it all"

"No it doesn't"

"If that's what you think" I pulled my phone out and went to the camera without trying to make it obvious. I still want him but what we had is over. 

"So when can we have more kids?"

"Excuse me?" I  really think I'm hearing things now 

"When can we have more kids. Maybe a year from now or two but no longer then that"

I looked at him. I really hope that I am hearing things

"Look we have two kids together. One that we actually had and one that we adopted. Both of them are ours. I would love for all my kids to have the same mother. So like I was saying when can we start?"

I looked at Ray for a second because I really think he hit his head or I'm going crazy. I walked away and went to my room to change my clothes and I left. I needed to be on my own for a little while
