A few weeks passed and Owen was month old and Cameron was 3 weeks old.... Lizzie and Matt were still not talking.
I felt so bad for Lizzie. She just had a baby and her husband isn't talking to her
She was going back to work because he wasn't giving her any money while this whole thing was going on so she had to work when owen was just 2 weeks old because she had no money to buy food.
They were staying with us. She had the girls with her too
She worked during the days so she would bring the kids to day care, she was having a hard time paying for it but she never once asked me to watch them because she knew 4 kids plus an extra 3 was too much for us.
Narvel was so disappointed in Matt. He knew he still loves he kids and Lizzie
Lizzie came into the kitchen and she was feeding Owen thinking no one was awake because she usually left for work before me and Narvel and the kids were up. She was feeding Owen and she saw me feeding Cameron at the table. She stopped "I'm sorry, I didn't think anyone was up.... usually no one is awake when I get up for work" she said "I'll go back to my room and feed him." She said turning back around
"No no no it's more hen okay, come sit with me." I smiled. Cammi was smiling up at me while she ate
"You sure? I understand if you want some alone time with her while you feed" she said swaying
"Lizzie I promise it's fine." I said smiled patted the sit next to me
She walked over to me and she had a blanket over Owen, he was always a fussy eater when he ate.
What Lizzie didn't know what that Narvel and Matt were talking in the garage
"What are you doing up?" She asked me
"Can decided that she wanted mama." I smiled
She smiled and leaned back. I could just tell she was exhausted. She's been through so much over these last few weeks.
"I'm so proud of you." I said to her
"Why? I'm failing as a wife and I'm failing bat giving my kids what they need and all the love they want.... I'm failing. The girls came and slept with me last night because they missed their daddy.... how was I supposed to explain to them that their daddy doesn't want to see them because their mommy did something to make him mad and upset.
"She said
"Lizzie you are not failing. You are doing be best you can do right now. The kids are so lucky to have you as there mama." I said
"They deserve someone better" she said shaking her head looking down at Owen, she had peeled the blanket back and she was caressing his cheek as he ate.
"They couldn't get any better." I smiled. Out in the garage....
"Hey Matt." Narvel said
"Look, I'm not talking." He said
"It's just me man." He said
"No.... because you are going to try and get me to go back to her and the kids. I'm done. I'm wiping my hands of this whole thing and leaving. I'm out." He said
"Your gonna leave your wife and kids over a surprise gone wrong?" Narvel said. Matt then realized how stupid it all sounded
"That's not the only reason Narvel.... I don't find her attractive anymore. She just, she isn't my type anymore. I think I've found someone new that I'm happy with and I'm ready to start a new life with." He said
"You just had a baby with Lizzie. You have a new life with the one you love. What are you gonna tell your girls when there daddy doesn't want them anymore. Be a man Matthew." He said. Narvel is matts brother
"I'm out. Tell Lizzie our papers will be in the mail by the end of the week." He said throwing his hood on and walking out.
Narvel grabbed his arm and stopped him. "What's going on?" He asked
"I told you. I don't want to be a dad. I'm out. Kids are not my thing and Lizzie is not attractive." He said
"Matt we both know that's not true." He said
"I'm dead serious. Stop telling me this is not true. You always do that! Your not me! Get over yourself Narvel!" He yelled at him
"Your a coward!" Narvel said
"Your an asshole! Your the reason I got married to her! You pushed me just like dad would have done! I wasn't ready Narvel! Then she got knocked up and I can't! I'm done! I hate my life right now! This isn't what I want!" He yelled
"Then what the hell do you want?! You cant leave this family to get a new one. It doesn't work like that." He said
"Watch me." He said and walked to his car.
Narvel took his keys from him and held him back
"Narvel I swear to fucking God. Give me those keys or you won't live to see tomorrow." He said sternly.
"Matt grow up and be he guy I raised you to be." He said
He started throwing and beating Narvel up, he wasn't kidding when he said what he said.
"Matt!" Narvel got him off of him
"GIVE ME THE KEYS!" He yelled and punched him in the face.
"NO!!" He yelled. Both Lizzie and I walked out to the garage. "Guys!!" I binned
Lizzie took Cameron from me so she wouldn't get hurt. I walked over to them and Matt punched her in the face, slapped her face and kneed her in the stomach.
"You didnt just do that!!" Narvel went into protective husband mode
"I did. Now give me the god damn keys!" He yelled in his face, Lizzie ran over to Me as fast as she could without the babies heads bouncing, once I got to her, Matt started kicking me where ever he could get his feet on me. I looked at Narvel and we switched positions. I gave him the kids and he took them all inside helping Reba in. Once they got inside I looked at him. "Just go ahead.... I know that's what you want." I said, he started to beat the shit out of me and I just let it happen because I knew that's what he wanted and that he hated me.
Instead of going at me with all of his force. He fell to the ground. He couldn't believe the man he had turned into over the past couple of weeks. "I'm...im a monster." He started bawling
"Yeah. You are. Now get in your damn car and get the hell away from me." I said giving him the keys and walking inside.
He didn't leave. He just sat there and cried into his hands. He needed his family back
Lizzie got ready for work and she got the kids ready for day school. They were already running late, she grabbed them each a banana and she got them into the car and she drove to work, she avoided Matt.
"Daddy?" Her daughters asked
"No sweeties." I said
"I'm taking Kenzie to school." I told Narvel in pain
"No, no. Have Lizzie take her. I'll call her and I'm taking you to the hospital." He said
"Mommy you okay?" Kenzie asked concerned
"Yes sweetheart. Mommy is good." I said and the triplets ran in.
"Mama!!" They all smiled
I smiled at all of them.
