Keeping Up With the Kuwonus

Are you shittin me

Kamri's POV

All day Zion ran through my mind. Why the hell was our marriage falling at our feet and we weren't trying to do anything to fix it. I shook it off as I got ready to teach my master class for the night. Alright y'all ready for this?! I yell out to the class as people cheered, excited for tonight's choreography to start.

*few hours later*

Alright that's all for tonight!! You y'all were amazing, thank you for coming out hope to see you all plus more next time! I say as everyone pack up and say their byes while socializing. I check my phone seeing 7 missed calls for the house. The only person I think it could be is Ziah. I gather my things and call back.

(Bold-Kamri ; Italics-Ziah)

Hello?
Mommy?
Ziah why did you call me so many times? You know mommy had class tonight
I just wanted to know when you were coming home because Jessica left already
Who the hell- Ziah who the heck is Jessica?
The lady that picked Dee and I up from school today mommy.
Ziah stop playing, what do you need?
Momma I'm not joking!
Sweetheart ... daddy was supposed to pick you up from school today. Where's daddy?
Daddy isn't here! That's what I'm trying to tell you..

I stop moving for a second. Trying to not think of the worse case scenario.

.....
Mommy? Hello?
... Ziah? Who's at the house with you and your brother right now?
Ugh mommy you aren't listening. Dee and I are at home alone. Daddy isn't here and Ms. Jessica left forever ago! I'm hungry and you told me not to use the stove and I can't reach the microwave!

After hearing those words I quickly grabbed all my belonging from the studio running out the door yelling for my assistant to lock up.

I'm on the way sweetheart just stay on the phone so that mommy knows you're okay
Mommy.... is something wrong?

I can hear the fear in her voice so I try to stay calm.

Yeah baby everything is good. Do mommy a favor and go up to Dee's room and stay in there with him. Lock the door and don't open it unless it's me okay.
Okay.. but are you sure everything's okay?
Yes everything's fine.

*15 minutes later*

Ziah sat silently for a while, I knew she was still there though cause I could faintly hear her playing peak a boo with Dion. Suddenly she got real quiet.

Ziah?
......
Zaza??
......
Ziah Cassie Kuwonu?! Why aren't you answering me??!
Mommy .... I think someone's in the house.

I hear her voice trembling, making my heart beat like crazy.

Why do you think that baby?
I heard the front door slam. And now I hear stomping on the stairs.

I can hear her start to cry.

Mommy where are you? I'm scared.
Dont be afraid baby. Mommy's almost there I promise.
Please hurry mommy!

I then hear the door knob being shaken and banging on the door.

Mommy someone's trying to open the door.

She whisper cries.

Shhh calm down baby I'm down the street. Stay calm.
They won't stop banging on the door.

OPEN THE DOOR!! Why is the door locked?!
I hear the yelling as I pull up to the house jumping out of my car not caring to turn it off. I walk up to the house slowly opening the front door. I go into the kitchen grabbing a knife before heading up the stairs where I can still hearing the beating on the door.

Ziah open this damn door?! After hearing that I walk up realizing it was just an intoxicated Zion beating on the door. I put the knife down pushing him away from the door.

What the hell is wrong with you?! I say through gritted teeth. Mommy?! Mommy is that you? I hear Ziah shout from inside the room. Yes baby it's me. Don't open the door yet sweetheart, remember not until mommy tells you to okay. I say. Okay mommy. She says. AYE OPEN THIS DAMN DOOR LITTLE GIRL IM NOT PLAYIN! He yelled hitting the door. Zion that's enough go to the room NOW! I say pushing him. We both walk down the hall into our bedroom where Zion flops onto the bed. Want to explain to me what the hell your problem is?! I ask him as he lay with his eyes closed. Aye I'm tired quit all that fussing. He says keeping his eyes shut. Caleb you can't be serious right now. I say as my anger grew from my clearly drugged husband laying in front of me. Ugh you know what I'll go sleep in the guest house and when you're done being my mother and scolding me you know where to find me. He says getting up and walking out. I stand there shocked by his actions as I hear the door downstairs close. I look out the bedroom window seeing him walk down the path in the backyard towards the guest house. This nigga has some nerve. I walk to Dion's room knocking on the door. Ziah? Baby it's mommy open up. I say. Are you sure everything's okay momma? She says back softly. I take a deep breath and sigh. Yes baby ... everything's ok. I say hearing her get up and unlock the door. I immediately squat down as she hug my neck tightly. I feel wetness on my shoulder as her little body starts to shake. Shhh baby don't cry. I say rubbing her back. I'm sorry. I'm sorry for letting Ms. Jessica pick us up from school and I'm sorry for letting her into the house and I'm sorry that Daddy's mad and I'm sorry I made him leave mommy. I'm so sorry I didn't mean to do it. She let out as she bawled her eyes out. I squeezed her tightly. Baby you did nothing wrong. I promise you sweetheart none of this is your fault. Daddy didn't leave momma okay? Everything's okay babe. Okay? I say rocking her. I feel her nod her head. I love you princess. I love you more mommy. I let go of her walking to the crib to pick up a smiling Dion. Hey bubba! Mommy loves you too babyboy. I say kissing his face and walking downstairs with Za closely behind me. Let's get you guys some food and then we can all go up and watch movies and sleep in mommy's bed tonight, okay. I say trying to put a smile on for my kids. Yeeessss! Ziah says smiling making Dion clap and make noise. I sigh thinking if it weren't for our kids or the world seeing us as this perfect couple would Zion and I still be together ......
