The Ties That Bind

Chapter 15

I couldn't believe Giselle popped up like that. Ava has been avoiding me for weeks now.  She even moved! She is due any day now and I didn't know a way to get in contact with her. She even blocked me from Charlie's phone,  her parents all that. I didn't know what to do.  I love the hell out of Ava and I felt like I was slowly dying without her.  I decided to talk to Giselle and Kasey over my mom's place.  I needed to explain to Kasey that she was having two more siblings and they weren't with her mommy.  I didn't know what the hell to say. My mom didn't say much,  she never does. She chooses to stay out my business and my love life.  She says long as no one is harming me,  it's my battles to figure out.
I stayed at my moms for a while to get out of the neighborhood.  I was so sick of the drama back at the apartments I was ready to find a bigger place anyway for Ava and I and the kids. It was the right thing to do. I went from literally leaving my wife,  bumping into Ava at the coffee shop,  fucking with Drew,  dating Ava and now having twins.
I didn't know what to do.  I was so lost. Ava found out about Giselle and she reacted like I knee she would. So I know she'll probably kill me if she find out I'm bisexual and that I used to fuck her soon to be ex husband.
I sat outside on the back patio and waited for them to arrive. Giselle took a trip to Louisiana I guess for I don't know why , maybe from all of this mess. She just got back last night and told me she wanted to talk. I didn't want to but it needed to be done.
My mom came outside.  "They're here mainey. " she said.
She let them through the door and Kasey ran over to me. I was happy to see her. I missed her like crazy and she was a month away from turning 6.
"Daddy! " she yelled.
"Hi pumpkin how are you? "
"I'm good daddy,  I miss you I want to come stay with you." She said pouting.
"In due time baby we will talk about it,  but there is something else daddy wants to talk to you about. "
I sat her down and held her hands. Giselle ignored me and didn't greet me. I ignored her ass too...
"Yes daddy. "
"Well you have two new siblings coming soon. Possibly a baby brother or sister or both " I told her. Her eyes lit up and she was happy.
"I can get a sister and a brother!  Yay. I can't wait. " she clapped her hands together.
"Yes with the pretty lady remember her. We took food to her a while ago. " I asked her.
"Yes I remember. I know you and mommy aren't together daddy.  My nana told me. " she said.  Well that was easier then I thought. My mother motioned for Kasey to come inside with her so Giselle and I could talk.
"So I see you have been real busy. " she said with an attitude.
"Yeah.  It's life but we are separated it doesn't matter anymore. " I said
"You could have fucking told me!  You have knew for months!  Had me looking crazy because I am still married to you,  left your daughter in the dark and you're also fucking Ava's husband!  You're fucking sick that's what you are Tre. I know everything! " I was lost for words she knew about Drew.
"Let me explain that. ..- " she cut me off.
"You don't have to explain anything to me Tre. I know enough ok. I want what's best for my daughter. That is all. I signed the papers already now it's your turn. You can be free, completely now. It's best I not know every detail because I could kill you right now. " she said crying..
I couldn't feel her pain because truth be told I didn't care about her anymore. I felt nothing.
"The thing with Drew was cut off the moment I met Ava.  He didn't like it. Prior to that he wanted me to leave you for him that wasn't happening either. I didn't know they were married until she told me her self at dinner one night by then I was already feeling her and didn't care. Now all of this shit is happening. "  I said throwing my hands up.
"That's what you get when you play with Fire Tre. It's going to be a lot more shit that comes out you watch. By then I'll be long gone. I am moving out of Atlanta. I am moving to Miami.  I am taking Kasey with me. We will figure out arrangements at a later date. " . I shook my head.  I couldn't believe this was happening to me. She slid the envelope over to me.
"I'll have my lawyer converse with yours okay Tre. But I'm done with this. I wish you the best. " she said standing up.
"Wait,  how did you know all of this? ". I asked.
"I can't tell you that , but what I will tell you is that Drew has HIV. Get checked out. You might've passed it around. " and, just like that she walked away. 

********
I sat outside for hours after my talk with Giselle.  I called my lawyer and told him I had the divorce papers. We already had custody and child support established so that was done. She didn't want anything but the house only to hand it down to Ava. I didn't blame her. I wouldn't want anything from me either.
Drew had HIV?  What the fuck!  My life and career was over once this got out. I decided to go to the EMERGENCY ROOM to get tested.  This shit was crazy.
I sat and waited hours for my results.  It was a total of 5 hours before I got my results. I was in the clear. that was for now at least . Doctor said he'll prescribe me meds to be on the safe side for now and prescribed me ART medications. I was so mad right now I wanted to shoot his ass. Myself too for real.
I blew up Ava's phone and decided to tell her everything. I am putting her life on the line as well. She deserves to know.  My babies need to be safe.
I called 20 times before an answer.
"Stop fucking calling me!  I don't want to talk to you!  " she screamed
"Ava just wait just fucking listening to me.  Drew is HIV positive I have fucked Drew in the past. I am bi sexual. Please just listen,  get tested. I understand if you'll never talk to me again but please make sure my babies are safe! Ava I love you-. " that was all I remembered before I crashed my car.
