"Now that we are all gathered here today, it's time to clear the air." Sika says "Who wants to start first?"
"I will" I say while looking at Melissa and Ruby
" Roman and I met more than a year and a half ago. We've been dating for a year, in no where between then did he tell me he had a fiancee. I only learned about this a few weeks ago. If I knew he had a fiancee I would certainly not have gotten involved with him, but I did....I did get involved with him and I am involved with him and I am pregnant with his child and as far as I know, you guys were always done...it just took this situation to officialize it." I say
" Me and Roman have been together since high school, I had his first child, I was his first love....it was always me and it's always going to be me. He can be with you for now but eventually the dog always finds it's way to it's owner." Melissa says while crossing her legs and slouching on the couch, thinking she proved a point
" I admit, I lied to you both. I lied to you about being faithful and I lied to you about not having a girlfriend back home, and I'm sorry to both of you. Melissa my love for you is no secret, you were my first love and the mother of my first child and that's never going to change but I'm in love with Leone, she's my Woman now. You deserve somebody that is going to love you and treat you the way a man suppose to treat the woman he loves and cares about, and sorry I'm not that man for you but I am that man for Leone." Roman says explaining to Melissa
"So what now? You're going to take the house, your going to try to take Alani away from me......" She says while crying
"I would never do that. You're going to keep the house, I'm going to put it in your name and we could share custody of Alani." Roman says
"Think about what you're doing Roman...." Ruby says while staring him down
"I know what I'm doing ma....this is something I should of done years ago, not when everything blows up in my face." He says
"I guess that's it huh. Too bad Alani couldn't have both parents like we'd planned." Melissa says continuing to cry as she stands up away from where we sit
"She is always going to have us, it's just seperately this time. I wish you nothing but the best and I wouldn't have picked a better mother for Alani than you." He says while getting up to console her
" I hope you're happy....I will never accept you in this family. It was always suppose to be Melissa and Roman to the end like me and his father, not him with a bitch like you. Get out my house!!" Ruby says crying angrily
"Ma!! Are you serious? You act like things between you and dad are great when in reality this is probably the first time he's been home in months, probably was chasing after skanks because you could never put your foot down." Roman shouts at his mother
"Don't you ever talk to your mother that way!!! EVER!! I love your mother and what goes on between me and her is our business, stop trying to act like you know it when you don't got shit figured out yourself. You heard your mother get out of her house." Sika shouts back at Roman to defend Rubys honor
"No she can leave.....Roman stay please!!" Ruby pleads
"If she leaves then I leave." Roman says
"No it's okay, I will find a hotel around here." I say while holding Romans hand
" I can't let you roam around Hawaii by yourself I'm going with you." Roman says heading grabbing my hand and heading towards the door
After she see's Roman about to leave, Ruby runs to block the door.
"Son please stay. I haven't seen you for years. If you walk out that door I may never get a chance to see you again. Please!!" Ruby pleads with tears running down her face
" Mom I love you, but not only can't I stay in a house with that man but I can't stay in a house with you disrespecting the woman I love, whom's carrying my baby. You would rather let her go by herself, going back and forth pregnant with your grandchild then let her sleep in one of the bedrooms in this house.... I just can't be here with you people right now." Roman says opening the door half way before Sika comes and slams it shut
"You people? We are your family....Regardless of what me and your mother did, we raised you to be the man you are today?" Sika says stepping to Roman
"And thats the problem....Dad I've turned into you. I told myself I would never treat woman like you treated mom and look at me now. But the difference is I'm trying to make it right while you...while you still roam the streets looking for quick dollar hoes to bust it open for you." Roman says in front of his father's face, not soon after Ruby slaps him
"How dare you talk to your father that way? " She screams "You....you, this is all your fault." Ruby says charging me but not before Sika and Melissa gets in between her
"Please just leave." Melissa says looking at me knowing she had power over me when it came to Romans mother
After that, I didn't know what came over me but it was something I had in my chest that I needed to get out. I tried to be respectful because it was Romans parents and it was their house but never had a let anybody disrespect me, let alone like his mother have.
"Roman I had try to keep my cool. I really tried." I say to Roman before facing his mother
"Ruby, yes I played a part in this but your son did as well. He didn't tell me he had a fiancee, he didn't tell me to back off, he didn't tell me he loved someone else, He told me he loved me and I knew he meant it. I'm sorry for breaking up what you thought was a fairytale but I'm apart of the family now and you have to deal with it or else you can't be around our baby." I say trying to maintain my cool but Roman could obviously see me getting riled up
"Calm down!!" Roman says
"No I had enough!! You never do a good job with defending me. You let them call me names and slander me when all of this happened because of you but who do they blame and this falls back on, me. I'm done!! I'm over it!! I'm leaving" I say headed out the door crying
"No wait, stop!" Roman crabs my hand in an effort to stop me
"No let her go" Ruby says
"I'm leaving" I say to Roman trying to release his hands from mine. As I attempt to release his hands I feel what feels like a lightning bulb go off in my stomach. In fear that something is wrong I used the other hand to cradle my stomach.
"Ahhh" I say slouching over with my hand intensively on my stomach
"Babe you okay?" Roman says bending over to my level
"Uhhhh, It's something wrong with the baby. It hurt so bad." I say about to drop to the floor
"Lets bring her to the couch." Ruby says as she tries to help me to the couch
"No I have to go to the doctor, this doesn't feel right....something is wrong with my baby." I say scared
" There are no hospitals near here, Just lay sit on the couch in the mean time while I make you some of my tea." She says placing me on the couch
"Ahhhhh.. Roman I'm scared" I cry to Roman as he sit beside me and my head lay on his chest
"I got you, everything is going to be alright. Just breath and relax, breath and relax, breath and relax..." He says while putting his hand on top of mine on my stomach
Melissa watches and I couldn't tell if she was enjoying it or simply didn't care, but that wasn't my main focus. I was praying to god like I've never prayed before. I just wanted my baby to be alright. I was only three months pregnant and as far as I knew, having pains that early was a sign of a miscarriage.
