Family Affair

18

I Felt Jays Hand On My Thigh Making Me Stop Shaking My Leg. But I Couldn't Help But Shake My Leg, This Was My Mother We're Talking About. I Couldn't Loose Her, With Everything That I've Went Through Especially With This Long Divorce. I Needed Her Now More Than Ever.

"She's Going To Be Okay" Jay Whispered.

I Looked Into His Eyes "I Can't Loose Her Jay"

"We All Can't", Ava Walked Over To Me Yawning Taking A Seat Next To Me Placing Her Head On My Shoulder. I Wrapped My Arm Around Her Kissing Her Head.

I Looked Up To See Noelle Taking A Seat Softly Smiling With A Wave.

"What The Hell Is She Even Doing Here?" Jay Whispered.

"The Same Reason Your Here"

Solange Got Up And I Looked At My Dad That Was Slowly Dozing Off. Jabari And Jalen Was Knocked Out Resting Their Heads On The Arms Of The Chairs.

I Seen The Doctor Come Out And I Immediately Got Up Causing Everyone To Look At Him "Hey...She's Stable But She's Not Doing So Good"

"So What Does This Mean?" My Dad Asked.

The Doctor Let Out A Sigh "It Means Maybe A Month A Few Weeks, I'm So Sorry Guys"

I Felt The Tears Escaping From My Eyes And I Felt Jay Place His Hand On My Lower Back. I Looked Back At Ava To See Her Sound Asleep.

"She Needs A Lot Of Rest And So Do All Of You, I Think You Guys Should Get Some Rest And Come Back In The Morning" Offered The Doctor. I Looked At Jay "I Don't Want To Leave Her Here By Herself" I Said Softly. Jay Kissed My Forehead "We Should Go, Ava And You Are Both Tired" He Said. Jay Got Up First Picking Up Ava, I Got Up And Walked Up To Daddy.

"We're Going To Go, And I Think You Should Take The Boys With You" I Said. He Nodded His Head, Noelle Walked Up To My Daddy And I Rolled My Eyes.

"The Knowles Men Are Off Limits" I Said.

"So Was Jay At One Point, But You Obviously Didn't Care Did You?" She Snapped.

"Are You Mad That Jay Is My Fiancé? Are You Mad That We're A Actual Family?"

Noelle Looked A Bit Shocked But Tried Not To Show It, My Daddy Looked Confused "Lets Go Jay" I Said. He Cleared His Throat As We Walked Out Of The Hospital Heading To The Car.

"Fiancé?" He Asked.

"I Just Wanted To Piss That Bitch Off" I Said As He Placed Ava In The Back Make Sure She Had Her Seatbelt On.

"I Mean It Isn't A Bad Idea" He Smirked. I Playfully Rolled My Eyes Getting In The Passenger Seat. We Drove Home And Jay Placed Ava In Bed Making Sure To Take Her Shoes Off And Tucked Her In. I Kissed Her Little Forehead And Jay Did As Well. We Left Her Bedroom And Jay Was About To Head To The Couch But I Grabbed His Hand Making Him Look Back At Me.

"Please Sleep With Me?" I Asked. His Eyebrow Raised.

"That Came Out Wrong...I Don't Want To Sleep Alone Tonight" I Said Softly.

He Chuckled "Anything For You"

I Smiled As He Wrapped His Arm Around My Neck Leading Me To My Bedroom.
****
My Eyes Fluttered Open, My Head Lifted Up And I Realized I Was All Over Jay, I Unraveled My Leg From Around Him And My Arms. I Rubbed My Eyes Yawning. I Got Out The Bed Looking Back At Jay Sound Asleep And Smiled, He Looked Cute Sleeping. I Did My Usual Routine And Walked Out To See Jay Walking Towards Me.

"Good Morning" I Said Softly.

"Morning" He Said Making Me Twist Up Face.

"You Need To Attack That Mouth Of Yours" I Said.

"That's Why I'm Heading To The Bathroom Damn"

I Chuckled, My Room Door Was Now Being Opened By Ava And I Raised My Eyebrow "Sorry" She Said Softly.

"Mhm, Good Morning" I Said.

She Smiled "Good Morning, Can We See Grandma Today?"

"I Don't Know, I Don't Think I Want You To See Her Like That" I Said. Ava Strictly Stayed In The Waiting Are Last Night. I Didn't Want Her To See Her Grandma Hooked Up To So Many Plugs. Just Laying On The Bed Like She Was Being Experimented On.

She Frowned And Her Eyes Lit Up A Bit, I Followed Her Eyes To See Jay Holding Out His Arms, She Got Up And He Picked Her Up.

"How's My Baby Girl This Lovely Morning?" He Asked.

"Alright...I Would Be Better If Mommy Lets Me See Grandma" She Said Softly. I Folded My Arms Shaking My Head.

Jay Looked At Me "Bey...Ava Can See Her Grandma"

"See!" Ava Exclaimed. I Got Up Walking Towards Them "Okay Fine But Later Today" I Said. They Both Got Excited Making Me Playfully Roll My Eyes.

"Kisses?" Ava Asked. I Leaned Up Kissing Her Lips.

"Me Next" Jay Said. I Raised My Eyebrow "Come On Mommy Kiss Daddy" Ava Cheered On.

I Let Out A Sigh And Leaned Towards His Cheek Only To Feel His Lips, I Stepped Back Hitting His Arm Causing Ava To Laugh.

"See Your Daddy Real Smooth" Jay Winked.

"I Love You Guys Together, I'm Glad We're A Family Now" Ava Smiled Wrapping Her Arms Around Both Of Our Necks Pulling Us In. We Looked Into Each Other Eyes Not Really Knowing What To Say.

"The Girl Is Right" Jay Smirked.

"Okay Ava Go Make Some Cereal" Jay Put Ava Down And She Left The Room.

"Jay, Why Did You Do All That? This Is Why I Didn't Want You To Stay Here. You Have Her All Confused" I Said Turning Around.

I Felt His Arms Around My Waist Making Me Bit Down On My Bottom Lip "Come On Bey, Lets Be A Family" He Whispered In My Ear.

I Turned Around Touching His Cheek "I Don't Think I'm Ready For That, I Need To Focus On My Mom"

"We Can Get Through It Together As A Family" He Said. I Looked Into His Eyes, Realizing I Couldn't Go Through This Alone.

He Smirked Already Reading My Body And Face, He Leaned In Making Me Scared. He Inched Closer And Closer And I Stayed Still, I Felt His Lips Against Mine Making Me Melt Just Like He Did Back In High School. I Touched Both Of His Cheeks While His Hands We're Placed On My Waist.

"I Can't Find The-...Ewwww!" We Heard Causing Us To Release Looking Down At Ava At My Door.

"I Told You To Knock Before You Enter" I Said.

"Sorry, I'll Just" She Said Closing The Door Back. I Looked Back Up At Jay Kissing His Lips. "Don't Leave Me Again" He Said Softly. I Chuckled "I Won't" I Said Softly.
