Love and War

Chapter 24 - The Rat

S H A Y N A

I stood staring at the face of the man who said he'd never come here. Why was he here? Did something happen?! I don't think I can take much more of shit happening!

But... I missed him, nonetheless.. I'm glad he was here.

"Sean, what in the hell are you doing here?!" I said in a scream.

"I needed to be here .. I needed to see y'all. Crazy shit been poppin off. If something was to happen to me without me hugging my kids and kissing your lips , I'd die an unhappy man.."

Shit must really be bad out there because this nigga never speak in quotes like this..

"Soooo can a nigga come in or you gone leave me standing here and let a coyote-wolf eat my ass up?" Sean said leaning up against the doorframe.

I stepped to the side so he could walk in. I still have questions as to why he's here tho .

"Sean, aren't you putting us in danger by coming here?! Why come here and sabotage the safety of your kids like this?" I whispered walking behind him. He looked to be searching, but I already knew what he was looking for , or who he was looking for . But we needed to have this conversation first. Did we need to leave this place? Was he coming to get us?!

"Sean! Answer me!" I yelled at the back of his head.

He gave out a long exhausted sigh while running a hand down his face. He turned towards me and I could see the stress on his face . It seemed like he'd been stressing on his decision to come here for some time now..

"When I had y'all brought here, I didn't give you extra protection. Now you have it. Just in case I've been followed, which I highly doubt because I've been planning this pop up for some time now and I've took the necessary precautions to ensure that . There are trained guards roaming these woods. And before anyone or anything got close to this cabin , I'd know." He said while taking a seat on the couch.

I let out a sigh . I sure hope he was right about this.. "Fine..KIDS! COME DOWN HERE PLEASE!" I yelled in the direction of the stairs .

"Yo, everything good ma-" DJ started to say before his eyes landed on his father .

"OHHH SHIT!! DAD IS THAT YOU?!!"

"BOY WATCH YO FUCKIN MOUTH!" Sean and I said in unison.

"Dang my bad I just got really excited and surprised. You know I'm a good noodle mama. I didn't mean it." DJ said while covering his head. He must've known I was finna smack him upside his damn head for cursing like that .

Just then, Passion and Desiree came running down the stairs.

"I'm knowing I didn't hear somebody say that my daddy is here??!!" Desiree said being loud as ever .

Sean stood up and all three of them bum rushed him, knocking him to the floor. Damn near about to break the coffee table.

I just stood there shaking my head .

" Damn ! Y'all do know that y'all not 5 no more?! Y'all almost weigh just as much as I do and y'all jumping on me!" Sean struggled to get out while the kids basically attacked him.
