S.E.A.L IV: All I Need

Chapter 16

~Charli~

I sat there looking at the ring in the box thinking about the argument that Nia and I had a few days ago. It started out fine she was telling me that Kadence is pregnant, but it went left when she told me she had a miscarriage and didn't even bother to tell me the shit. How can she sit there in that house and not tell me she lost my child? And the craziest thing is I felt like she was pregnant but she kept saying she wasn't and she didn't know until she lost the baby. But I know that's a lie, how do, you not know that you are pregnant? I ain't a female, but I lived with enough of them to know that a woman knows when she is pregnant. She got me questioning everything she's said to me since we've been married. I played with the box for a few minutes before the door to my office opened and my dad walked in.

Why you not at the venue getting ready? I shook my head closing the box, how do you Liyah make it work? What you mean? I mean yall been married for so long how do yall make it work when you can't trust the person. I trust Liyah with my life, nothing that we've ever been through will ever cancel that. Even if she held a secret from you? A secret we don't have no secrets I know everything about her and she knows everything about me and my shit too. Everything, even about that girl from awhile back? All of it Charli, I ain't stepped out on her in years though, learned that the hard way. Why you asking, you step out or some shit? I ignored the question and answered him, I love Nia but I don't know if I can deal with this shit. So, you saying you wanna divorce her? I don't know I said sitting the ring on the desk. Do you know what that would do to your family if yall separated? It don't just affect you Charli, you have two kids. A son and a daughter that are use to having both their parents at home. Besides what could have happened that would make you even consider divorcing her?

"You seriously coming at me about some bull shit right now Charli! It's always bull shit when it's something I do, like you never do no foul shit. I don't do shit to you Nia. Really you don't do shit, Nigga you come home all the time with lipstick and booty glitter on you like I don't notice. You think I don't know about the hoes you got running through that studio? I ain't stupid Charli. I told you I don't be fucking none of them hoes. Yeah right you think I actually believe that shit Charli. You should I've told you more than one time that I don't. Yeah right, I really believe that! Fine fuck it you believe I cheated on you than I did."

She looked at me with this look in her eyes and I knew shit was about to go to far left.

"You cheated on me?" she said walking towards me. "If that's what you want to believe then Yeah, I did. You broke your vow to me, our marriage, and our children. No Nia I didn't but you stay accusing me of doing so and I didn't do." She shook her head before looking at me, "I have a confession for you then, I had a miscarriage a year and a half ago, just thought you should know" she said walking out the office.

Wait she lost a baby? Yeah and she kept it from me. Charli was it yours? Yeah it was, Nia is a lot of things but she'd never cheat. What happened after that? I went off on her, what was I supposed to do she just told me that she lost the baby. Boy what the hell is wrong with you? Dad! No Charli your wife is setting there telling you that she lost a baby. Not just any baby your baby, your seed and you do some stupid shit like go off on her? Dad...nope I don't want to hear it. Get your shit right now he said standing up. Dad. Charli get your shit now and come on he said standing up. I grabbed the ring box and got up following him out the studio. Follow me to this venue and don't you dare turn off and go nowhere else. Yes, sir I said getting in the car and starting it. We drove the 20 minutes to the venue where everyone else was at. I parked and got out the car as he approached me. You got 2 options you can go in here and apologize to Nia, renew your vows and forget this ever happen or you can go in her and tell your aunts and your whole family you about to throw away your marriage over some stupid shit. Dad you really sell me out like that? What you think he said looking at me. Fine I'll do it. Don't do it for me do it for your kids and the woman you love. After you he said opening the door the venue. I went in and immediately was bombarded by people asking me stuff and wondering why the hell I was late.
