Bey POV

"Can We Go Back Home Today?" Blue Asked While She Colored In The Coloring Book. I Looked Up From My Phone, She Was Annoying Me With That But Then Again I Know She Missed Her Daddy And Was Confused As To Why Spending The Weekend At Grandmas House Turned Into A Whole Week.

"I Know You Miss Daddy" I Said Sitting Indian Style On The Couch.

"I Do...Why Haven't We Been Home?" She Asked Softly.

"Grandma Missed Having Us Around...We'll Go Back Home Tonight Okay?" I Said.

"Yessss" Blue Cheesed.

I Smiled Weakly As My Mother Entered The House, I Turned To See Her With Publix Bags In Her Hands. I Got Up Helping Her Into The Kitchen.

"Hi Grandma!" Blue Said.

"Hey Blue Blue" My Mama Said.

"Thank You Baby" She Said As We Placed The Bags On The Kitchen Table.

"Welcome" I Simply Stated.

"You Know I Love Having Y'all Around But...When Y'all Planning On Leaving?" She Asked As She Begin Putting Away The Groceries.

"Oop, You Tired Of Us Already?" I Asked Helping Her.

"I Love My Quiet House From Time To Time" She Said.

I Playfully Rolled My Eyes "We're Leaving Tonight"

"Hmmm" She Said.

"Hmmm What?" I Asked. My Mother Always Tried To Stay Out Of My Marriage And Parenting As Best As She Could Because She Felt As Though It's None Of Her Business.

"And Y'all Think Adoption Is The Best Choice Now?" She Asked.

"I Love Carter...I Can't See Myself Without Him Mama...I've Never Been With Another Man Besides Him...Do You Think My Marriage Is Over?" I Asked

She Looked Into My Eyes Seeing The Sadness "Awww Baby No, Whatever Happened Shouldn't Break You Or Your Marriage. You Both Made Vows Okay?" She Said Embracing Me Into A Hug.

"I Miss The Old Us, It's Like Every Little Thing Causes Us To Argue"

She Released From My Embrace "Communication Is One Of The Biggest Problems In Relationships And Marriages. Talk To Your Husband Okay?"

I Nodded My Head Feeling The Lump In My Throat Hurting Like No Other "Excuse Me" I Said Walking Out Of The Kitchen To Head Upstairs "Mommy, Daddy's Calling You" Blue Said Holding Up My Phone. It Was Probably His 100th Time Calling. I Grabbed The Phone Going Into My Childhood Room Closing The Door Behind Me.

"Bey, Thank God. I've Been Calling You All Week" He Said.

"I Know" I Said

I Heard Him Sigh "You Can't Just Up And Disappear With My Child Like That"

"She's My Child Too Shawn" I Said.

"You Do Realize I Was Freaking Out All This Week, I Thought Something Happened To Y'all!"

"I Had To Get Away From You"

"How Many Times Did I Tell You? Nothing Happened Between That Student!" He Yelled. I Clenched My Teeth "We'll Talk About This When I Get Home" I Simply Said Trying To Stay Calm.

"Alright...I Love You" He Said.

"Goodbye" I Said Hanging Up. I Collected My Thoughts Before Going Back Downstairs. Blue And I Helped Out With Dinner And Ate, Afterwards We Got Our Things Together And Headed Back Home.
