Icelyn

Its been a month since I left the hospital and Janet had just left for a meeting in Hawaii. She would be gone for five days. During this month I have been looking for an apartment in Louisiana. I finally found one and we get to move in tomorrow, me and Seven wouldn't be leaving until the day after tomorrow because I had to spend some time with my girls no telling the next time I will see them. Yesterday I had planned a beautiful evening for Janet and I, but because she had to leave so early we ordered in and watched movies all night.

"Mommy I'm hungry, can we go eat some waffles, ooouuu and yogurt! Please mommy please!" I laughed at him. His eyes light up just talking about food. "Sure baby we can get waffles and yogurt. Want me to make it?" His face scrunched up. "Nahh mommy I'm sorry but they only thing you can make is pasta. Just use the thing on your phone that brings a man with the food." I rolled my eyes at him. How could he remember the one time we used postmates five months ago?

"Ard Seven lets get dressed first then we will order, is that alright with you?" I reached my hand out for him and he took it we walked into the bathroom and I ran his bath water. I wiped his face and brushed his teeth. Despite how he was conceived he is the best thing that happened to me.

"Momma why you crying?" I didn't realize I was crying until he wiped my tears. "I ah never really had a man in my life, so I always prayed for a man to love me and I guess he gave me you." He hugged me. "So you crying because you got me?" For him to only to be three he sure knows a lot. "Yes baby, but their happy tears." I put him in the tub and let him play before I washed him up. The babies started crying so I took him out the tub and sat him on the bed. "Don't move Sev I mean it." I ran, well sped walked to their room and they were all up.

"Hey mommas babies, yall ready to start the day? Come on lets go get ready then." I brought them into the room and sat them on the bed. I still had to dress Seven. "Sev what should I put on tv so they won't cry?" He shrugged his shoulders. "I dunno momma." I shook my head. "Welp Paw Patrol it is. Now come here so I can dress you and the girls I still gotta get in."

After another hour I was finally in the shower. It felt good to finally be alone. I spent twenty minutes in the shower until I got out. Covering up the pregnancy wasn't as hard as I thought it would be. All I wore was baggy sweats the hard part was the heat that made it hard. I don't understand how Janet can do this especially in LA. After I put on my clothes I ordered the food.

"Momma I said I was hungry a long time ago!" I put Jaliyah in the play pen and walked over to the couch where Seven was. "Excuse me sir I have four little children and myself to get ready before I could order, it should be here any minute just wait." Once the food came we ate and got ready to go to the park. I had my car shipped down to Louisiana so I had Cache come pick us up.

"Hey best you need help getting them in?" Cache said. "Uh yeah, help put the girls in so I can get the stroller in the trunk, Seven can get in himself." After a little struggle we finally got in the car and they were all sleep, can't blame them the food was good. "So....... you ready for the move? All packed?" Cache asked. "Yeah I started packing the week after I got out the hospital. Cache I really fucked up. I'm still stuck on how it only took one arguement." She hit me in the back of my head. Naw seriously you fucked up with someone like Janet I should be beating your ass right now."

"Don't you think I know this already? Three different people three divorces, and they say the third time is a charm. I uh take me to Toni's house I think imma leave today." Cache didn't know that I was pregnant she just knew I cheated and was leaving. I didn't tell her the state. "Fine, Ice." She turned around and went to Toni's house. She stayed in the car while I took the girls and Seven. Before I could knock the door opened and there stood Toni. I hadn't heard from her since her birthday.

"Icelyn?" She hugged me and then picked up Seven. "I missed you guys sooo much. How have you been and why you dressed like that? You always showing off your body." I rolled my eyes at her. "I have my reasons. I was wondering if you could watch the girls for me for a little while." She nodded her head. "Of course, you sure Janet is going to be okay with this?"

"She doesn't have a choice." I picked Seven up and walked to the car. I put him in and started crying. "Ice what's wrong?" Cache rubbed my back as I looked at Toni's house. "Nothing Cache just take me to Janet's house I'll get to the airport myself." She shook her head and we drove in silence. We pulled up to the house, I grabbed Seven and walked into the house without saying a word. I called the movers and told them that we are leaving now and the needed to be here within the hour.

5 days later

I'm almost done getting my room together. Sevens was already done because we just packed up his room that was at Janet's. I had no family, no friends, no nothing. Just me, Seven, and whoever was in here.

Janet

I was about five minutes away from the house and I had been calling Icelyn everyday since I had left but I never got an answer. I was worried, upset, and happy all in one. I was worried and upset because I haven't heard from my wife in almost a week plus she's been very distant. I'm excited because I miss my babies and Icelyn. Joey opened my door and I walked to the door.

"Baby!! I'm home!" I walked into our room and she wasn't there, but I noticed the room looked empty so I walked into the closet and all of her things were gone. I ran to the girls room and they weren't there but all their things were still here. I ran to Seven's room and it was cleared out, empty, not a spec of dust. I fell against the door and cried. It was pretty obvious she was gone but where? I got into my car and went to the only place she would be, Toni's.

Toni

I had just warmed up the girls bottles. They have been here almost a week and Icelyn hasn't answered her phone. I was all for watching them for a few hours not a few days. I was in the kitchen when someone was banging on my door. I ran to the door and opened it.

"Janet? Thank God! I have been calling Icelyn for five days and got no answer she dropped the girls off and never came back." She pushed through the door. "So you mean to tell me she ain't here either? I haven't heard from her in five days. Something ain't right ever since she left the hospital she has been different, and now this!"

"When she came over she was awkward, kind of sad, and covered up. She rushed out and I haven't seen her since. Something ain't right Janet."
