Need You

Feelings

I looked at my kids who were chasing each other around the beach. I heard him sigh. I looked at him as he had an upset look on his face.

XAVIERS POV:

She was telling me the truth from the beginning. So much achievements I've missed in their lives. The years we lost as a family and a married couple. We vowed to trust each other but why did that stupid photo make me forget about everything we've been through and our vows.

I had kids. A set of twins. A girl. A boy. The girl I could've played tea parties with, the boy I could've played sports or video games with. I'm such a stupid guy who wasn't there for his kids because I didn't trust the one woman I should trust.

These emotions. Emotions I haven't felt in a long time. Sadness. Lost of connection. Ashamed. Embarrassed. What have I done?

I looked up and watched them chase each other. Their high pitched giggles as their hair blew in the wind. The smiles shining bright on their faces as the sun shined on their eyes. This is what I've been missing. A family. A new life. A responsibility. If she went with another man, then I would lose all of this. I turned my head and looked at her. She was watching me. I was speechless. Didn't know how to start a conversation with her. The amount of betrayal she went through. The labor, the hormones, the cravings, the needs. Many things I did not supply her with. A hand to hold as she pushed my babies out. The ones we created. A shoulder to cry to when she couldn't handle everything. An extra helping hand from someone who brought these bundles of joy into her life.

ASHLYNN'S POV:

I watched him as he stared at me. The thoughts that were most likely going through his mind right now. He knew he did wrong. Can we fix what happened? Put those missing puzzle pieces together to find a new life together. Or was this meant to be? Meant to be for us to be separated with kids only keeping us in connection.

I heard the arguing of my children and my attention turned to them. I looked over and saw my ex mother in law scolding my children. Excuse me I dont know who she thinks she is scolding my children.

I walked over them. "You're not the boss of me", said Ivy. "Your mother really didn't teach you right on how to talk to people who are older than you", said Marie.

"Your mother didn't teach you right on how to treat children", I said while removing her hand grip off my kids' arms. She looked taken back. "Keep your hands off my children and worry about your own", I added before leading my children away from her.

I could hear her mumble about my "cheating" and how shes glad they arent her grandchildren. I turned and looked at her. My children continued walking. "Ask your son. Hell tell you the DNA results came out to be his children. Whether you like it or not. They are your blood."

That caused the whole group to freeze. I turned and followed my kids. The smirk on my face and my very elevated ego gave me so much confidence. In your faces Blacks.

They kept their mouths shut for the rest of the day. I got my kids dressed and walked back to my car as the sun was done setting. I buckled in my very tired Ivy and Issac. I got in and drove back home.

I wondered what will happen now. The cat is out of the bag. The truth is exposed. The evil were hurt. The hurt was healed. I felt complete. My 4 years of trying to complete my mission has been completed finally. I smiled to myself.

Maybe life will get better now. My kids will have a father in their lives. I can finally move on.

UNKNOWNS POV:

You think you're slick. Telling the truth. I'm not done with you yet. This is just the beginning. You may have won this time but I'll have you crying on your knees and rethinking your role on this Earth. He doesnt deserve you. A gold digger. Your label is a gold digger. I'm watching you. Every place you go at every hour of the clock. You cant hide from me. I will become your biggest nightmare.
