Riker POV
"I got you, it's alright." I said grabbing Lea's hair as she threw up for the first time in forever, it all started because of rice pudding, Sarah was eating it and asked if Lea wanted some and she asked what it was, Sarah told her and she took one look at it and came running upstairs.
"It's not alright, everything's gonna change Riker, nothing's going to be the same after this, in movies they make having kids look so easy and fun but it's the exact fucking opposite, sometimes I just wish I never had Greg." Lea said as Nova barked making us both sigh knowing full well Greg heard that.
My bedroom door slammed shut and Lea looked at me like the world was ending "I'll uh...go talk to him." I said standing up and walked out.
In a way it hurts me hearing Lea say that because Greg's my son just as much as hers and I know she doesn't mean it but it's just like that stinging feeling.
"Greg can you let me in ?" I asked knocking on the door, Mom walked up to me and gave me a questioning look. "Lea threw up and went all hormonal saying how everything's going to change and how the movies make having kids look easy and that sometimes she wishes she never had Greg, we didn't know he was in my room."
Mom sighed and put her hand on my shoulder "I'll go talk to her, take him out, he could do with getting some fresh air." I smiled and knocked on Greg's door again "hey Greg you wanna go out ?" I asked making him open the door slightly.
"Where ?" Greg asked.
"I know just the place." I said pushing the door open more, Greg gave me a questioning look but followed me downstairs and to the car.
Lea doesn't mean what she says, she just talks before she thinks.
"A park ?" Greg asked as we got out.
I laughed and shook my head "it's more than a park, Pops used to bring me and your Mom here when we were kids." I said as he held on to my hand.
"So why are we here ?" Greg asked.
"Because this place is special to your Mom and Me, just like you are." I said sitting down on a bench.
"Can't be that special." Greg mumbled.
"Look right now Mom is just going through some changes, changes we can't feel. It's hard because you want to help her and make it easy for her but you don't know how and sometimes by telling someone it's alright when you don't know the future it can make them snap." I said looking at Greg.
"Make them snap so much that they wish they didn't have kids ? I ha-"
"Finish that sentence and see where you end up." I said, Greg looked at me and pouted, not expecting me to react as fast as I did "it's true." Greg said innocently.
I shook my head and move so I was in front of him "never say to someone you hate them because that could be the last thing you ever say, Mom and I love you more than anything in the world, we would take bullets for you but she's pregnant, which means she's emotional, she didn't mean she wished you weren't born, what she meant was she wished you weren't born the way you were, we were still ki-"
"Why'd you do it ?" Greg asked.
"Do what ?" I asked.
"It!" Greg said.
It's been a while since I've heard sex be called it, it used to be our code word in a sense, growing up we had our own 'secret language' it was English, we just used different words.
What kind of question is that ? Why did you have sex ? How can I explain something to 1. A kid that shouldn't even know what sex is and 2. Something I don't even properly know the answer to.
"It just happened, the point is me and your Mom we're kids when she had you, when she said she sometimes wishes she didn't have you, she doesn't mean you don't exists, just that you would of been born properly, you're our kid which means we hate you, but not the type of hate you think, and we love you at the same time because you're our son, it's like me and your Mom, we hate each other but we love each other at the same time, there's two different types of hate, it's okay to get angry at me and Mom, it's okay to get upset with us but you and I both know you don't hate us." I said making Greg shrug.
"What do you mean by been born properly ? Did I not come out of Mo-"
"No not like that." I said shaking my head, honestly I don't know how Greg was born cause Lea doesn't have a scar but she's still like pretty tight so...
"By properly I mean, we knew what was going to happen and I'm gonna tell you a secret, we didn't know about you, like once your Mom found out she was pregnant then we knew but you were a surprise so by properly I mean, we would of talked about having you and planned it right, well timed it." I said making Greg give me a strange look, please don't question me about it, I'm not mentally prepared for that conversation.
"So I was a mistake ?" Greg asked making me laugh, shaking my head "you were a good surprise and at the moment your Mom is just having some mood swings which means you gotta be careful with what you say if you want to keep your head on your shoulders." I said making him laugh.
"If you call Mom, crazy or fat you better pack your bags, move to a different country and change everything about you because she'll kill you, Liam called her a whore once and she threw a knife at his uh...balls." Greg said.
When Lea is angry her aim for things is like a snipper, she'll get her target every time, I remember once play fighting and I accidentally hurt her and I ran off laughing and we had this metal ball, it looked like a pool ball and weighed about the same but didn't have any numbers on or colors and I remember Max grabbing my arm and pulling me out of the way, seconds before that ball hit me in the face.
She had...has some anger problems a bit like me so when we're both angry, especially at each other, god help you, you don't get stuck on the middle of us because I can't grantee what will happen to you but I can tell you, it ain't going to be good.
"I'd throw a knife at his balls too if he called Mom a whore." I said making him laugh "how much do you think it would hurt ? Walking into the side of table hurts like really really bad, I cry." Greg said.
Try getting hit in the balls with a puck, never play ice hockey without any protection, how I can still have kids after that amazes me, I couldn't move.
