Swapped

Chapter 49

Rock

After going back and forth with Taylor and much conversing and debate I finally decided to allow Crystal to see Ebony.  Everything went fine for a  while and I was just about ready to let my guard down where she was concerned until Taylor came storming in the bedroom one morning after doing Ebony’s hair. She said nothing to me, just grabbed my cell and shoved it in my face. “Call Road kill and tell her she needs to come over today! I have something I need to address with her.” Taylor was not much for conversing once she made a statement she waited for results. She wasn’t the arguing type. Once I took the cell she asked no more questions nor did she offer any explanation. She just left the room with me sitting on the bed with my cell. I called Crystal and she immediately had something smart to say when I told her Taylor would like to discuss an issue that I was unaware of with her.

“Why do I need to talk to Taylor about my child? Who is Taylor?” At that moment I was glad my wife had not stuck around because that surely would have pissed her off. Taylor is an extension of me and vice versa so you know her ass was getting checked.

“Who is Taylor? Ebony’s mother as far as I’m concerned. If you ever disrespect my wife again you can hang up ever seeing Ebony. Who do you think took care of Ebony while you were away in the looney bin?” I asked. She got pissed at that.

“Don’t you dare talk to me like that Rock it was not a looney bin! That is so offensive. I know Taylor has done a lot but I am Ebony’s mother!” She said with much attitude.

“According to the law your nothing I have full custody of Ebony which you signed off on so don’t come around here throwing mother around like that carries some type of weight here.” I felt myself getting heated so I took a few deep breaths before I really went in on her.”

“And you have know idea what this is about?” she asked again.

“No!” I said a little more sharply then I intended.

“Fine I will be there in an hour or so but I don’t want any drama. If she touches me-“ I hung up before she finished her statement. She gave me a headache that darn fast. I went in the living room where I found my wife on the phone with her mother going on about her cousin whom had just had her second set of twin giving her a total of seven kids. She got pregnant at fifteen and had twins then at seventeen she got pregnant but miscarried, didn’t slow her hot as down because she was pregnant again a few month later and had another baby, and again at eighteen and nineteen, now she was twenty three and just had another set of twins. She told nobody she was pregnant this time and all her kids had different fathers. She refused to tie her tubes and she continued to party and do whatever like she did not have kids because her mom took care of all her kids. I had been saying for years her mom need to kick her ass out and make her be a mama so she would quit multiplying. Taylor was telling her mom how she was at her aunt and she saw on Facebook the post her cousin posted saying she was in the hospital had just given birth to her twins. Her cousin had left three days ago to run to the store and never returned. Taylor was telling her mom how her aunt had just started crying. She was saying that Twinkie which was her cousin’s nickname had just got approved for a two bedroom apartment. What is she going to do with a two bedroom I thought to myself but I said nothing I just sit back and listened? Taylor was saying Mom you know Twinkie wasn’t planning on taking those kids nowhere. I just shook my head so Twinkie got a new boo and planned on taking those new babies and leaving the rest with her mom. Well this is what happens when you enable people. Then Taylor surprised me and said. Mom she packed up everything. Toys, clothes, shoes, rubber bands she said laughing and she went up to the hospital took the letter and told Twinkie I’m done. When you get out of this hospital all your kids will be ready for you to take to your new apartment. She said Twinkie got an attitude but for once her aunt stood her ground and now Twinkie was in her new apartment with seven kids. And her aunt had a makeover and now was dating a new man. She and Twinkie were not on speaking terms. Go ahead Auntie! That’s all right!  I wanted to comment on Taylor’s conversation but the doorbell rang and knew it was Crystal. Taylor looked at me told her mom she would call her back and went to the door.
