It's not all roses

Chapter 2

Tyson POV

Shit shit shit. That wasn't what it looked like. Fuck. I pull my hair to try and control my emotions. I'm not a cheater but I know it looked suss. I really need to find Misty to explain. I go into the house after her, looking in all the rooms. I get to Ryan's bedroom and can't open the door. I knock on it quietly to not wake my little man up.

"Misty" I whisper yell at her. She doesn't respond so I whisper yell her name again and again. "Please Mis, open the door so I can explain what's going on" I ask her. She still doesn't respond or move. I know I need to speak to her but I'm not having any luck. I go and sit on the bed in our room and place my head in my hands. My soul is crushed that Misty would think I cheated on her. I know what cheating does to a person.

The next morning, Misty still hasn't spoken to me. I didn't get a wink of sleep all night. I am exhausted beyond belief, but there is something still fighting inside of me. I need Misty to talk to me. I need her to know that I am not seeing other women and especially Jason's niece. I am not that much of a piece of shit.

I make my way to the kitchen to grab a coffee. Misty is sitting at the table with Ryan. She has her back to me but Ryan sees me and gets all excited. I can see Misty's shoulders tense up knowing I am in the room. "Mis, will you please listen to me?" I ask her. She shakes her head, picks up Ryan out of his seat and walks out of the kitchen. I punch the bench and drop to my knees.

I don't know how long I was on the floor for, before I feel hands on my shoulders. I look up and am face to face with Laura. "Ty, what is going on?" she asks me softly. "Misty thinks I'm cheating on her. I'm not" I tell her. Laura's eyes widen in shock. "Tyson, why would she get that impression?" Laura asks. "Cause she saw me come out from the side of the house with Alyssia. I am not cheating on her with Alyssia. I have been attending parenting classes to make sure I can be the best father to Ryan and also a better partner to Misty. Aly is the teacher lady of the class" I tell Laura. Tears are falling freely from my face.

Laura wraps her arms around me tightly. "Oh Tyson. Why haven't you told Misty this?" I can see the concern in Laura's eyes. "I got nervous to tell her. She is already doing such an amazing job with Ry, I didn't want her to feel bad that I felt I needed help. It shouldn't be all up to her" The honesty is just falling from my lips. I can't stop it, even if I tried to. Misty and Ryan are my world and I don't know if I could survive if they were to not be in it.

Laura helps me off the floor and moves me to the lounge room to sit on the couch. "Stay in here and I'll have a word with Misty. You guys need to talk about this" she tells me. I do as she says and stay seated on the couch. I don't know what I'll do if Misty doesn't want to be with me. I can't go home to my parents. They have already told me I am not welcomed in their house.

"You are screwing up your life Tyson" my mother yells at me. "Misty is a slut. Just like her mother" my mother sneers. "You don't know that family" I tell her. "NO Tyson. I know what kind of family they are. That baby isn't even yours. Misty was screwing around with at least 5 other guys when she fell pregnant. You are so naïve to think that baby is yours" she spits out. "Fuck you mum. You have no fucking idea what you are talking about. That baby Misty is carrying is mine" I yell at her. I can't believe my own family right now.

"You know what Tyson, get the fuck out of my house and never come back. You are an ungrateful little druggo. I have no time for wastes of spaces like you in my life" Mum yells at me. "With pleasure you old fucking hag. No wonder dad fucked my nanny. Too bad you stuck your fucking dirty claws in him and he couldn't leave. He would have been better off" I yell at her and stomp out of the house.

I sit and wait, it feels like it has been hours waiting, but when looking at the time it has only been 20 minutes. I just hope Laura can talk to Misty and get her to come and see my side of things.

Misty POV

I leave Tyson in the kitchen. I know I should talk to him but I am still so bloody angry at him. Cheating on me with Jason's niece of all people. If has been with her, who else has he been with over our entire relationship.

I know my body changed after having Ryan. Tyson rarely wants to have sex with me these days. I would jump him and climb him like a bloody tree, throw my body in his face and he would still tell me he is tired.

I have decided to stay in Ryan's room from now on. I don't want to be anywhere near Tyson. I know me keeping Ryan from him is wrong, but I don't want my baby to go anywhere. Locking his door gives me the privacy I need to let me break down.

Cuddling Ryan in the rocking chair that is in his room, there is light knock on the door followed by my mum's voice, "Misty baby open the door please" she softly asks. I grunt and stand up. Knowing she would have spoken to Tyson. I slowly unlock the door and move back to the chair. Mum comes in and looks at me, then at Ryan, then back to me. "Talk" she demands.

The tears start building up in my eyes. "He is cheating on me. He was with Jason's niece around the side of the house. I checked the bank statement from our shared account and he is taking money out every week. He is probably paying hookers to fuck him. He won't touch me though" I say to her and break down. Mum comes and squats beside me.

"He isn't cheating on you Misty. He is getting help hunny. You need to talk to him, so give me Ryan and go and talk to him" mum says while holding her hands out for Ryan. I place him in her arms, wipe my tears from my face using the bottom of my top and make my way out to the lounge room. I see Tyson sitting on the couch with his head in his hands.

I sit down on the other side of the couch, as far away as I can possibly sit. He looks up at me "Baby, I promise you I am not sleeping with anyone" he starts off. I just stare blankly ahead. He sighs and continues. "I have been attending parenting classes, so I can be a better father to Ryan and a better support to you. Alyssia is the teacher lady of the class. We had gone around the side of the house to talk quietly. I didn't want everyone to know I am a fuck up" He says with a sob at the end.

My heart breaks for Tyson. "You are not a fuck up Tyson. You should have told me you were feeling like this. We are meant to be a team but I feel like I am not good enough for you anymore. You won't sleep with me. You always make excuses. I feel like I am not sexy enough for you" I tell him honestly. Tyson looks up at me with shock on his face. "Misty, you are the most fucking sexiest person I have ever met" he says with pure adoration in his eyes.

"But my body has changed since having Ryan. I can count on one hand how many times you have touched me since he was born" I say to him, defeat in my voice. "I try and give you space knowing how tired you are. You don't need me pestering you for sex every 5 minutes of the day, and your body change has only made you more sexier. You are a mother and I fucking love every part of you. I just want to be a better person for everyone" He says with conviction "I love you Misty. No one will ever compare to you. You have my whole fucking heart and I will use every day going forward to prove it to you
