Our Journey

Balance

Fatima. It's my mom Fatima said rushing to hug her
mother once she entered the house

Farryn. Hi baby I'm sorry I thought you guys were going to be in bed and I didn't want to knock and wake the kids so I used my key I hope that's okay ..

Fatima just hugged her mom again she didn't invite her over but she was so happy she was there it's exactly the person she needed aside from Zac

Farryn. You sounded off when we talked yesterday I figured you could use some help are you okay? she asked while holding onto her daughter, fatima was still clinging to her mom she still didn't want to let her go

Fatima. Mommy please stay was all she said

Farryn. I'm not going anywhere baby I'm here to help she assured her..

Liam. Hey Momma Ryn Liam said as he suddenly appeared in the living room walking up behind Fatima

Farryn. Hey Liam how are you doing she asked happily because she hasn't seen him in a while..
Fatima finally let her mom go so she could reach over to hug Liam..
granted they grew up tight, he's like a son to her

Liam. I'm doing good I just came by to check on her and the kids I was actually just leaving he said retrieving his shoes by the door and bending down to put them on to make his exit.
To Fatima it felt like a Broadway performance the way he was acting as if nothing happened but she was glad he was leaving

Farryn. I actually just had dinner with your mom last week she said she was going to Egypt, farryn laughed because Liam's mom always took spontaneous trips

Liam. Yup that's Victoria for you always gone and never at home

Fatima briefly looked at Liam because he was right his mom was always gone which is why he spent a lot of time at her house as a kid and she spent a lot of unsupervised time at his

Farryn. She said she hasn't seen you in a while

Liam. Yeah we're kind of not speaking at the moment

Fatima scrunched her eyebrows she didn't know he wasn't speaking to his mom

Farryn didn't want to be in the middle of it so she didn't ask why

Farryn. Alright sweetie I don't want to keep you long it's getting late she hugged him again..
it was nice seeing you get home safely and thank you for checking on my babies

Liam. It's no problem at all
He looked at Fatima but didn't speak just got his keys and left

Fatima is well aware her and Liam need to have a conversation about boundaries and any past hurt that all the sudden resurfaced. This version of Liam was dissimilar she could sense a bit of jealousy and it even crossed her mind that she needed to talk to Zac just incase Liam were to tell him anything

Once the door shut she looked at her mom hoping she didn't catch Liam's cold shoulder

Farryn. What's going on with y'all

Fatima. Nothing mom he just came to check on me she said walking into the living room with farryn behind her

Farryn. Every since y'all were kids-

Fatima. mommy please don't, Fatima was over it..
Jojo and jaxson lovey's here! she called for the kids so they could come see their grandma
Jaxson came running but Journey wasn't with him she fell asleep at the table

Farryn. Hi baby she said picking him up as she sat on the couch next to Fatima.
Oh my sweet boy how are you feeling
She said rubbing Jaxson's back
Farryn knew about Jaxson's hospital stay because Fatima called her and told her
