"Well Leslie isn't your real mom. She's your real mom's twin and she locked your real mom in a prison cell..."
"And she tried to take over our mom's life because she was jealous of her", Nathalie finished
"And 'Xavier just found out", Zeke finished
"Yeah. But how did y'all know?"
"We just found out when our dad called us on the way here. 'Xavier come sit down"
"Nah I'm out. I'll be by to get my kids tomorrow so make sure they have they stuff", he put his key on the side table next to me and walked out the door with his duffle bag on his shoulder.
"So what does it really mean for y'all?", Nathalie asked
"It means we just need our space right now and he needs time for his self. But y'all know we always into it and we'll get past this", I said trying to believe what I was saying without crying
"Debbie it's alright you don't have to cry over him", she said patting my back
"No I was wrong on this one. I should've told him or something"
"Yeah it would've helped cause now we gotta tell our kids their grandma isn't their grandma. You be selfish for real, you should've known better than this one Debbie, that's blood family issues. And you could've prevented that from happening but you was thinking of yo self. Bye Nat I'm out", Zeke said walking out the door.
"I'm not going to be forgiven for this one", I said crying with my head in my hands
"It's alright they just in they feelings but it'll get better believe me"
"No, I wouldn't even be mad if y'all never talked to me again"
"Stop being so hard on yourself, you'd think after everything you've been through you wouldn't feel so sorry about things"
"I know but now I know that I was wrong for this one. I've kept so many secrets from 'Xavier but he deserved to know about this one"
"Yeah, well he didn't and there's no changing the past. All we can do is move forward. Besides we all knew a little bit about it but never really thought about it cause in pictures when my mom had us, she had a tattoo on her breast and a birthmark on her hand but Leslie didn't. I always thought that was strange but you know now that we know we can move forward"
"I guess but I still feel bad and I just want my husband back"
"Well go get him then. If you really want something you'll get it"
"I know and I am but I'm going to give him his space first"
"Completely understandable but don't give it to much space though"
"Alright and I think I'm leaving with the boys. I can't stay out here by myself with them"
"Alright well be safe and call me if anything changes"
"Okay thanks Nathalie. I love you so much", I said hugging her.
"I love you too. And you know what, I can take the boys if you'd like so you can get yourself together"
"It's fine. I'm fine, thank you though"
"No prob. I'm out baby girl"
"Alright"
I walked her out the door and I locked the door behind her. What in the world is it with my kids for them to always want them? I need to set them up some appointments and me some ugh, it's time for me to be a real responsible mom cause I'm not going to keep doing this.
