The Last Fall

CHERYL's POINT OF VIEW
1 year and 6 months later...

My life was okay. I mean, it wasn't as bad as I thought that it would be after everything that happened almost two years ago.

Eventually, Tony moved out and I moved out as well. Him and I both got new houses, I haven't spoken to Shemar since then and Tony got what he wanted; the judge let him have the kids on the weekdays. I only see them on the weekends.

However, Dana; the new baby- gets to stay with me on the week days and Tony gets her on the weekends. Either way it goes, we both spend time with all 3 of our babies.

That's all I wanted.

Cai literally hates me. She's 17 and whenever she comes over here- she shuts the door and only comes out of her room whenever she's hungry.

Ciyle, he is also being affected by all of this. He's confused but he is also trying to balance being the middle child. At least he doesn't hate me as much as my oldest child does.

It was the weekend; and this weekend...Cai and Ciyle were gonna come over and Dana would be going over Tony's house. She was almost two; she can walk pretty well because I started to work with her at an early stage. Something that I never did with my other kids but she's a little different when it comes to me. She's even saying quite a few words and she's honestly my little diva. Reminds me of my baby girl Cai with the little things that she does and even says.

Cai will be leaving for college pretty soon and honestly, I'm kinda sad and happy about that. She's really growing up- even though she barely talks to me.

"Ready to see Daddy?" I asked Dana as I kissed her forehead and started to get her dressed in her room.

I got a 5 bedroom home. That way, everybody can have their own room and then the guest room would be left over.

Dana smiled at me and watched as I put her Little shoes on.

When I gave birth to Dana, it was fast and easier than my first two babies.
Even though I did have an epidural with all of them, it was still easier with her. Everything was easier.

After I finished putting her shoes on, I heard a knock at the door.

"Okay, baby. That must be him." I said as I picked her up and walked towards the door.

"Who is it?" I asked as I finally made it to the front door.

"Tony." I heard. I then opened the door.

"Heyyyy, baby!" Tony said as he smiled so big and took Dana from my hands. I watched him as He then walked in and planted some kisses on her forehead. "You're growing so fast." He said as he disappeared into the living room with her. I could hear Dana laughing and it made me smile.

I then turned around and saw Cai and Ciyle walking towards the front door.

"Hey, Mama." Ciyle said as he hugged me. He was now 11 about to be 12. His voice was in the process of getting deeper. Puberty was trying to hit but not as much.

"Hey, baby boy. I missed you." I said as I hugged him back and kissed his cheek. "You're getting tall." I said as I smiled at him. He was a little bit past my shoulders now.
