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

Chapter 50

~Charli~

I heard that you and the wife are back together, Los said walking into the studio. Yeah, we are. You know we in this for the long run. As yall should be. Listen Carlos I want to apologize to you for everything that went down with that Danielle situation it wasn't my business to share with Nia and I definitely didn't think that she'd throw it in Kadence's face either. It was wrong, but it needed to come out, I've been running from that secret way to long and I've missed out on a chance to get to know my daughter. She's amazing despite who her mother is, that little girl or rather young woman is amazing. She's smart Charli and she's good at art too. And what does Danielle say about it? What is there for her to say, she's my daughter I have the tests to prove it and she looks like me too. And what does Kadence say about it. Still salty about it, but there's nothing she can do because the girl is mine. Oh, but she did make one thing very clear and that's that she does not want me to communicate with Danielle in no shape form or fashion. But your daughter...Zyanya is 15 about to be 16 and she has a cell phone if she needs anything, she can contact us for it.

Hate to say it Los but she's right, Danielle is not the best person when it comes to this type of thing. Oh, trust me I know and I have no reason to be anywhere alone with Danielle. The only thing I want from her is the right to be a part of my daughter's life and that's it. Word! Don't be surprised thought if she tries to leave her on you. That was my first thought when I found out about her, but if she did do that, I'd know for sure that she ain't no type of mother and I'd press for full custody and trust me I'd win. No doubt you would, Titi Renee would defend you to the T. You know she said she knew the whole time. You kidding right, how? I don't know but she said she just knew that it was my baby. She like Gigi for real.

About us though he said sitting in front of me. You my blood! What! My blood, my real true blood cousin and I want you to know that no matter what we go through I always got your back no matter what. Thanks Los that means a lot to me. We've been through thick and think. Near death experiences he said chuckling. You never once turned your back on me. And I never will, but sometimes Charli you gotta know when you fucking up. I do! No, you don't! This stuff with Cara should have never happened and the way you treated Nia was beyond disrespectful and I won't let you my blood represent your self or me like that again. Don't worry it won't ever happen again, I respect Nia and I also fear her as well. You shouldn't have to. But I do, the same way you fear Kadence. She's cra... I mean yes, I do. I chuckled a little bit, we both know she's crazy and you thank you for not saying that about Nia. She's good on her medication and they gave her the right dosage so she won't get sick either.

No problem, what happened to Cara? Last I heard she was taking her kids and moving back to New York! Is that the best place to raise a baby? If it were up to me, hell no, I wouldn't raise my children up there, but they aren't my children. You got attached to him, didn't you? I tried not to Carlos, but I couldn't help it, I am just a softy when it comes to kids. Yeah you are, you probably got that from Titi Jay. Whew I said letting out a sigh, she's a whole other situation. She won't talk to me, she won't see me, she wont even breath the same air as me for more than 5 minutes. I feel like I failed her. You're too hard on yourself man, she is the not the measure of perfection you know that and she knows that as well too. She's the only thing I know! You have parents too do their opinions not count? No offense to them, but no they don't. Hers is the only one that matters to me. Well then you know what you have to do. You don't need her to speak to you, you just need her to listen and then leave the ball in her court. She may be a hard ass, but if it's one thing we all know when it comes to you kids, she won't let yall down. Hmph you right about that I said thinking about it.

All I need to do is get in her presence tell her my side, apologize for letting her down and then as Los said leave the ball in her court. After talking to Los I decided to track down my aunts, before I got to Gigi I had to go through those three if I had any hope of getting to her. Just my luck the three of them were all together at the studio together working on some music, I made my way over to their studio to see them and try to get them on my side. If it isn't Nephew, Saddiaq said laughing as I walked towards the studio door. Hey Saddiaq they in there? Of course, you know the three of them work in shifts and you just happen to catch them together. Is the other one in there as well? Naw haven't seen her in a minute, but then again you know she allusive. Tell me about it. I am a go in. Go ahead I gotta make a call anyway he said going towards one of the conference rooms. I said a silent prayer before going to the studio room that they were in.
