Two Pink Lines

Chapter 11

Parent meeting.

-Randy-

I'm so fucked up in the head right now.  I could have a daughter I never even know about.  How dare Rose keep something so important from me.  When I first met her we was so young she looks the same but more mature.  She's still sexy ass hell. The time I spent with her in Paris was the best days of my life.  I finally had someone to just listen to what I had to say and looked really happy to see me.  That's something I didn't get from my wife.  Yes, I was married but not happily.   I loved my wife but I needed affection  that I wasn't getting at home.  She had been so distance since before we had our son Chance.

Me and Beth have been fussing ever since we left the hospital.  She was hurt to find out that I had an affair.  She had so many questions and my head is spinning from the shock of possibly have a daughter that I can't get my mind right to answer them all.

We arrive at the James house.  Beth is in front of me making her way to ring the door bell.  She wants her answers right now.  The maid opens the door and take us to the sitting room where Lester and Rose are waiting for us.  They greet us with a nod no words as they sip on there drink.  I guess no one really knows where to start but Beth.

Why did you have an affair with my husband when you have your own? she ask Rosa.

I'm sorry Rosa says to Beth.  But that's not the answer Beth is looking for.

I don't want to hear I'm sorry!

Well if you didn't want to hear what I had to say why did you ask, says Rosa.

Who do you think you are speaking to and that's not what I asked you.  Why did you sleep with my husband?

I'm talking to you BETH!  Rosa yells back at her.  And maybe you should be asking your husband why he slept with me.

Rosa, Lester says calmly.  No she yelling at me like she never made a mistake.

So we was a mistake? says Randy.

Rosa looks over to Lester who is clearly angry because his jaw is clenched tight.  What did you say to my wife says Lester? Now both men have gotten out of the seat and are in each others face giving each other the stare down like do something.  Rose gets up and put one hand on each mans arm to try and pull them apart. 

Beth jumps up and yells don't put your hands on my husband you whore. 

Just then Lester and Randy both tell Beth don't talk to her like that at the same time.

Beth turn redder than a hot coal how dear you defend her after she made that baby and ruined our lives! she yells at Randy.

Last I checked you can't make a baby alone Beth and I was more than willing!

Beth looks shocked and hurt by Randy's response and runs out of the room crying.  A few seconds later we hear the front door slam.

Beth not the only one pissed I don't know how Lester stopped himself from punching Randy in the mouth.

You should go after her says Rosa.

No, she needs to be alone so she can cool off.  Besides we have some more important issues to discuss.  Do you think I'm the father of your daughter?

I mean it would explain her looks. She looks like you she has your eyes and smile.  But we can take a paternity test just to make sure. Then we can talk to her about it. 

That's not the big issue to me right now of her being my daughter or not. 

What is the big issue then Randy says Lester while you are standing here lusting over my wife.

I don't know how the hell you'll are so calm about them dating.  He rambles on how long have they been seeing each other?  Dear God what if they have had sex!

Rosa and Lester look at each other puzzled.  What the hell are you talking about Randy!

Your daughter possibly our daughter is dating my son Chance!

Rosa felt like the wind had been knocked out of her.  No, that can't be right Lexy's not dating and she definitely don't have a boyfriend.

At the hospital she came in to visit Chance and he introduced her as his girlfriend.

When the hell did this happen Rosa says to Lester she is now crying in his arms.  I don't know but we got to find out if its true and tell them if they are related.  Its not fair to keep something like this from them.

After a few minutes and after a strong drink. Randy ask if anyone had any ideas on how to break the news to them.

She's going to hate me Rosa says downing her drink and pouring another one.  I need some time to think of something.

 

Time isn't on our side right now we can't take to long.

Maybe we can keep them away from each other a few days while we think of something says Lester.

And how are we suppose to do that.  You didn't see them two at the hospital I don't think they can stay away hours let alone days.  But Chance does go out of town on site in 2 days that's not that far away he will be gone for three, four days that. 

How about you make a big deal over them getting hurt suggest that he stay with you and Beth because you don't want him to be alone.  We will do the same with Trevor and make Zoey and Lexy come home for a few days make it a family affair to keep an eye on Trevor when we really will be keeping an eye on Lexy says Rosa.

Alright we can keep them apart until he leaves for New York.  We should go ahead and have the paternity test  done and put a rush on it.  That way we can be totally sure before we tell them something that could change there lives forever. Then we can go from there says Randy.

I'll contact someone to take the samples for the test tomorrow, says Lester.  I'll give them one of Lexy's hair brushes from her room since I can't ask her to give a sample.  That's the best we can do for now.
