"Mommy where's daddy?" Zariah asked as she walked in the house from school. I looked at her and shook my head. "It's been weeks since his business trip."

"You ain't hear? He ain't coming back." Zachary said laughing. "Ain't that right ma?"

I just ignored them both, "he's coming guys."

"Nah you ain't think I noticed all his clothes missing? When he coming back ma?" He asked sitting down at the table.

"Zachary shut up and do your homework. Zariah go do yours to. And Zacarea bring me yours." I said making them nod and do as I say.

I heard a loud boom and saw Zion and Zali running out of the living room. "Oh hell no! Y'all bad asses better be lucky y'all 3!" I yelled seeing they cracked the living room tv. I picked up there bottle and put them on the counter.

"Mama!" Zachary yelled snapping me out my thoughts.

"Yea?" I asked walking over there.

"since we're alone you wanna tell me what's really going on? I know when somebody goes ghost." He said making me sigh. "I won't tell my siblings. Only once who will understand is Zariah honestly . Zali and Zion to young you know."

I laughed and shook my head, "you're to smart you know that. But we'll discuss it because your father will be joining us for dinner."

"Then that's it isn't it?" He asked frowning.

I nodded slowly, "but if you wanna love with him rather than me Zachary I'm totally okay with that."

"Nah, I'm fine where I'm at. Nigga barely home anyway." I shook my head because I hated he had to say that so I let that little cuss word slide.

"Don't say that Zachary that's still your father?"

"Is he?" He asked lowly turning to do his homework again.

I heard the doorbell ring so I threw the drying towel down and went to go open the door. I opened it and shook my head seeing who it was.

"First you were bold enough to fall in love with my husband and no you're bold enough to pop up on my doorstep after I almost killed you?" I asked shaking my head.

"Aye auntie Georgia!" Zachary yelled running to the door but I stopped him.

"This ain't yo damn auntie and she fashoo ain't family." I said sending him upstairs.

"Can I come in?" She asked and I chuckled opening the door up wider.

"Sure sweet pea. I bet you know this house very well huh?"

"Very." I heard her mumble but I just ignored her.

Chill. Your kids are here.

"Awn That was very cute."

"I didn't come to argue with you Azariah. I came to make shit right!"

"Girl What is there to make right? You're dead to me Georgia!" I snapped shaking my head. "You ruined my family ! You ruined my life!"

"It takes two to tingle your husband allowed me to that."

"Yea but you could've stopped it that's what any real friend would've done Georgia! In my house though girl! Where I lay my head and where my kids lay their head are you crazy? Do you know who you're fucking with?" I said pulling the biggest knife out the drawl.

She sighed, "I was hoping we can be civil due to the fact that kids are involved and we are looking forward to furthering our relationship."

"Girl no! We will never be civil. You have a nice time explaining to these kids how there auntie is their step mama. And girl if he did this to me what you think he gone do to you? You think you some type of goddess!" I asked raising one eyebrow. "Walking in my house asking to mend things girl..."
