I went home while Jack was at work and got clothes for Reggie and I.
I only got the chance to get about a weeks worth of clothes for the both of us. One of my new work friends invited me to go out and I told them I had Reggie.
She said it was alright if I brought him and that there were going to be other kids there as well.
So him and I got dressed and met her at some hall she sent the address of.
"Cristina, you look so gorgeous" Missy complimented. She bent down and pushed Reggies hair back, "and you look so handsome baby. Where's Jack?" She stood up and out her hand on my shoulders.
"He uhm, he's busy" I lied. I grabbed Reggies hand and went to say hi to everyone else.
"Awe you two look so nice" another woman smiled as we walked towards a table. He sat next to me and curled up under my arm.
"What's the matter beanie?" I asked him. He just shrugged his shoulders. "Nothing" he smiled up at me. "There's something wrong, what is it?" I questioned him.
Reggie remained quiet.
But I knew it had something to do with his dad. I knew I was going to have to talk to Jack sooner or later. I'd just rather it be later.

"Mommy, why can't we go back to the house, I miss my bed" Reggie frowned.
I felt so bad.
But it's not like I could tell him what was going on, shit I didn't even know what was going on.
"Look baby, I'm gonna call daddy and you can talk to him okay. Both of us will" I played with his hair.
I searched for Jack in my contacts and called him.
It rang only once before he answered.
"Cristina? Where are you?" Jack said raising his voice.
"Daddy" Reggie Chuckled. "Hey beanie, how are you? Where's mom?" He asked. Reggie looked up at me and smiled. "She's right next to me" he answered honestly.
"Can I talk to her please?" Jack asked nicely.
Reggie handed me the phone and I answered him. "Cristina?" Jack questioned.
"What?" I asked.
"Where the FUCK are you?" He said angry. I jumped from his tone change and stayed quiet.
"Cristina, please we need to talk and you know that. Just come home" He pleaded.
"Fine" I hung up.
I looked at Reggie and packed all our things and rushed to the car. Hopefully things go well. The last thing I need is my family blowing up.

I walked into the house with Reggie on my hip and Jack was pacing back and forth.
I stood Reggie up and smiled at him, "hey bean, go upstairs and play with your toys okay?"
Reggie just smiled at me and ran upstairs.
"Cristina" Jack held his hands out. I shook my head and backed up. "No, you're not sweet talking your way out of this one" I spat.
"Please you have to listen to me, I thought she was just lashing out and being crazy. That's why I let her go in the first place" he explained.
I was so confused as to what he was even talking about.
"Sierra, she was my submissive not so long ago but I let her go because she was insane and she always did crazy shit and I just couldn't handle it anymore" he blurted.
"And a few years later I met you, she would come to the office in Seattle and check in to see how I was but I always had them throw her out." He raised an eyebrow.
I sat down on the couch and listened to him explain to me everything.
"A few months before we planned to move she came into the office and had a meltdown. Told me that she had my kid but I didn't believe her, like I said she was-"
"Wait" i interrupted him.
"You've known about this for 5 years? Are you joking?" I yelled at him. "I'm sorry okay" he yelled back at me. I scoffed, "oh no, you're not turning this around on ME, As if it's MY fault. Don't you fucking yell at me" I stood up from the couch.
"I'm not saying it's your fault, you just aren't listening to me" he got up in my face. I pushed him back and he fell on the couch.
"This is your mess, you deal with it. But the least you could've done was told me about it" I pointed a finger at him.
"I KNOW OKAY, I FUCKED UP" He screamed in my face. I was set back by how loud he was.
"ITS NOT MY MESS AND ITS NOT MY FAULT. I DIDNT GIVE HER PERMISSION TO HAVE MY CHILD. I DIDNT EVEN KNOW HE EXISTED" Jack grabbed my wrist.
"Let go of me" I tried to snatch my grip from his. "NO BECAUSE AGAIN, YOU ARENT LISTENING" he cried.
"YOU NEVER LISTEN TO ME. ITS ALWAYS ABOUT YOU. ALL FUCKING YOU" he pushed me onto the couch. "God I thought for ONCE, JUST FUCKING ONCE, you would hear me out and listen to my side of the story." His voice cracked. I felt sort of bad.
He was right. I shouldn't be taking this all out on him. I mean he still knew about It but it's unfair of me to be blaming him completely.
"I'm sorry" I stuttered. I felt my eyes water and I held my arms open for him.
He smiled at me and cuddled into my chest. I played with his hair and he sat his head on my chest. "I'm sorry I grabbed you like that" He mumbled. I could tell he felt bad.
"Listen, I'm not super excited about the fact that you have another kid out there who's like 10" I rolled my eyes.
"But if you can work it out then I'll be here every step of the way" I grabbed his hands.
We smiled at each other and I turned on the tv so we could fall asleep.
