The Wife

Chapter 4: Solange

Beyoncé

It's been a couple days since Kelly's appointment with the psychiatrist and she seems to be a lot better. She talks to me and opens up to me a lot more lately. However with that comes things I really don't think I want to know.

"Baby" she walked into our bedroom with a handheld mirror in her hand as she was literally on the verge of tears.

"What's wrong" I sat up in bed.

"I looked at my vagina and it's ugly and gross now" she sobbed loudly.

"I'm sorry come here" I held her in my arms. "It's probably not healed all the way yet"

"How are we ever gonna have sex again when it looks my vagina exploded!!" She sobbed harder.

"I'm sorry baby" I patted her back not really knowing what else to say.

"I just want it to be pretty again"

"I'm sure it'll be fine" I said smiling.

She pulled away from me. "Beyoncé I'm serious  this isn't funny" she snapped. "Do I need to show you because I will!"

"No I'm good" I said quickly letting go of her.

"And don't get my started on my boobs. Baby they hurt so bad" she whined.

"Do you want me to do anything?" I asked not really sure if she was implying that wanted something or if this was just her going on another rant.

We both stopped as we heard faith crying. She was so cute. "She's probably hungry can you bring her to me" she asked in a whiney tone.

I walked out of the room and saw Faith in her crib kicking her legs and moving her hands up and down.

I picked her up  and held her for a moment. She kind of settled down. "Hey baby" I held more towards my shoulder still supporting her head.

"I'm here, your okay" we started towards the bedroom.

Kelly had gotten herself comfortable on the bed. I handed her off to her.

"Thanks Bey" she said as she grabbed on to Faith.

After Kelly had starting feeding her she was fine.  I stood there for a moment just watching her. She was amazing. I know she didn't feel amazing but Kelly was good at this. We're going to be fine.

That's when the doorbell rang. "I got it" I said and started heading to the front door. I opened it and it was Solange.

"Solange" I was stunned. I thought she was back in Texas so what was she doing here.

"Hey Bey" she said quietly. Last time I saw Solange she was getting married and starting a whole new chapter in her life and now she's on my doorstep.

"What are you doing here?" I asked outright.

"Can I come in?"

"Yeah"  I nodded. After getting settled we both sat on the couch in the living room.

"So what's going on?"

"Um I did something bad" she admitted.

Bad? What kind of bad? 

"What did you do?"

"As you know I was getting married and having my baby when I last saw you right, well um I am married now but um I lost the baby Beyoncé and I ran away" she admitted.

"What do you mean ran away?"

"After the miscarriage Daniel started drinking to cope and at first it wasn't an issue but he as of last few months he started getting violent. And one night I decided I couldn't take it I packed up and left when he was at the bar"  she said on the verge of tears.

"I'm so sorry Solange" I put my hand on top of hers.

"Bey I can't go back" she cried. " Can I stay here please"

"Of course, your my sister. I wouldn't just throw you out on the street" I said.

"Thanks Beyoncé"She hugged me. The only thing that makes me nervous about her staying here is Kelly's recovery. I know Solange and Kelly are friends but like I said Kelly's not all the way out of the woods yet. Who's knows what could happen with that situation.

Later that night

Kelly, Solange And I all sat at the table for dinner.

"Don't forget I have a appointment tomorrow" Kelly said "We might have to have Tim watch Faith tomorrow"

"Why? I could do it" Solange spoke.

"Are you sure?, I don't want to put you a bad position or anything"

I know Kelly was just being Kelly. She's right we don't want to our baby in her hands if can't handle it. "No it's fine. I'll watch her" solo said taking a sip of her drink. However this is my sister not some stranger on the street.

"Okay. Thanks" Kelly replied.

"Yep"

"Um Kelly can I talk to you in the kitchen" I asked.

"Sure" She shrugged following me.

"What was that?" I asked in a hushed tone.

"What?"

"Is Solange staying here going to a problem for you?"

"No, I'm fine with it"

"Really?" I crossed my arms.

"Yes really"

"I'm just making sure" I said.

"Look. I was just being cautious okay, I wasn't trying to be mean about. It's just this is our baby okay, I'm allowed to be a little worried about it" she said. I mean she had a point.

"I get it" I nodded.

"Also did you ever think about what could happen if Daniel finds her"

That thought had crossed my mind earlier but Solange had come to us vulnerable I wasn't going to talk about what bad things could possibly happen to her if Daniel got a hold of her.

"Yes I did but she's still my sister" I said.

"Your right. It's not her I don't trust it's him" Kelly said.

"I know look we can talk about this later, let's go finish eating dinner okay?"

"Okay" she nodded.
