Stronger Than I Was (Eminem Story)

Happy Together

June 14, 2002

"I hate tours." She said and fixed her hair was in a ponytail. I sat down on the couch and she sat on my lap. I kissed her on the nose and smiled.

"Do you have to go?" She asked and played with the Father's Day bracelet Hailie got for me.

"I wanna get a new and nicer house for y'all." He said and then the door bell rang. I walked to the door and heard the girls run down. I opened the door and Kim came in.

"Let me see the girls."

"No. It's Father's Day and my day with the kids." I said she pushed me.

"Let me see my girls." She said and hit me on my head. I held her back and then heard the kids screaming.

"MOMMY STOP!"

"Kim. Go home. I'll bring them tomorrow but please just leave." She pushed me.

"You're a bad dad."

"You've been saying that since the divorce but, Kim I have a question."

"What Marshall?"

"So where's Eric Harter at? On the run? Not taking care of your kid. I see you still haven't how good of a dad I am to Hailie and Alaina and my son so you can leave now and I swear to god. I swear to god Kim if I have to take her in you're never going to see them again. I'm going to do you like you did me. You took half of what the fuck I made last year and on top of that I got arrested because of you and on top of it you tried to fuck me over. But this year you're only getting child support because when I get my checks together at the end of the year I'm getting all of what you took from me times three so get the fuck out." I said and she started crying and so I escorted her out. I walked in and locked the door. I walked through back to the living room but paused when I noticed the girls were crying on Rocky's shoulders.

"Shh it's okay. It's not a big deal Mommy's just sick right now." She said and they touched her belly and sniffled.

"Is it blue or pink?" Hailie asked and she smiled.

"Blue." She said and then Micah scooted down the stairs and looked at me.

"Up up." He said and tucked on my leg. I picked him up and walked into the living room. The girls had calmed down and were talking with her about the color paint they should paint the room.

"Look we probably shouldn't change any thing since we're planning on moving out."

"Right. But we still gotta start getting stuff for the baby." She said and I nodded. I kissed her.

"Micah." I said and he pointed at her tummy.

"Baby." He said and I smiled.
