Megan looks at her daughter, her eyes shaking staring from her mother to her Aunt.
“But I heard Aunt Tonia telling you that-“
“No baby, what Aunty Tonia was telling me was that erm..she ran into an old friend of ours,someone who we knew back tons of years ago”
‘’But she said Kikina’s father and-‘’
“Honey, baby’’ Megan touches her daughter’s face “she said Titerina’s okay, right Tonia?” Megan turns to her friend,Tonia is quiet‘’Tonia?” Megan is frowning,Tonia looks at her and then at Kiki, she shakes her head and then smiles at Kiki
“Yes princess,it’s Tevena-‘’
“Titerina’’ Megan corrects
“Yes Titrena’s father, some old school friend of ours that had issues with her father and we are just trying to help her through it”
“Is her father bad?” Kiki’s beautiful face is screwed up in curiosity
“No honey” Megan says ‘’but it’s something you don’t need to bug your pretty head about okay, you go brush your teeth and get ready for bed okay?”
“Okay mummy” She nods, but Megan knew her daughter would be back,she was smart as she was intuitive for a four year old, sometimes she talked smarter than her age.
“I love you” Megan touches her cheeks
“I love you more, and you too Aunt Tonia”
Tonia laughs “Me more”
Megan kisses her daughter and watches her hug Tonia and disappears into her room, Megan straightens up
“Look I know-‘’
Megan is angry “I don’t what to hear it, outside now” she steps out of her small apartment and goes to the pavement,she didn’t want to take any chances of kiki walking in on their conversation again
“Megan , no one is saying go hand your kid over to him,I am just saying you let him know that you weren’t lying when you showed up at his door four years ago”
