It's been 6 years since Desmond and I got married. Life is great. We had our baby girl, Akila, 4 months after our wedding. She was 3 months premature. She only weighed 3 pounds when she was born. She stayed in the hospital for about 4 months after being born. Now she is 6 years old and healthy. The kids are all doing amazing. We are all one big, happy family.
Today is a family movie day.
The kids all talked us into getting Disney+ so we're going to probably watch the Lion King and then the Princess and the Frog.
Dustin: Mom, do you know when the pizza is going to get here?
Me: They said it should be here in about 30 minutes or less so let's hope it gets here soon.
Just as I said that, the doorbell rang.
Me: That's probably the pizza right there.
I went to the door and it was the pizza.
We ordered 5 large pizzas.
Me: DJ, come help me get these pizzas.
He came out of the family room and grabbed all of the pizzas from the guy.
Me: Thanks son.
I paid the delivery man and gave him a nice tip.
Him: Thank you.
Me: Np. Have a nice day.
Him: You too.
He left and I closed the door.
I went back to the family room and got the movie set up on the TV.
Desmond came back in from the store with all of the snacks.
We all got situated and started watching the movie.
About halfway through the movie, my phone went off.

The fuck do he think this is? I'm not the one and my husband damn sure ain't the one to be played with.
Desmond: What you doing baby?
Me: Look who just text me.
I show him the message.
Desmond: Who gone come fuck who up?
The kids looked up at us.
Me: Sorry y'all.
Desmond and I got up and walked in the kitchen.
Another message came through.

Me: Des, what do you think?
Desmond: We can meet. But I think the only kid we should bring is Zendaya, if we take her. Because I don't even want her around if he try something.
Me: I agree. The triplets are too young to be exposed to him. And I think Zen is old enough to go. She'll be 14 soon.
Desmond: Okay.

Me: We should go talk to Zendaya and then see if DJ can watch the kids tomorrow afternoon.
Desmond: Yeah. That sounds good baby.
We went back in the front and the movie was going off.
Desmond: Zen, baby girl. We need to talk to you.
She got up and came back to the kitchen with us.
Zen: Mom, dad. Am I in trouble?
Me: No you're not in trouble. We need to talk to you about something.
Zen: Okay.
Me: Your father wants to meet up with you tomorrow.
Zen: My dad is standing right here in front of me.
Desmond: Zen, you know that your other father still exists right?
Zen: Not to me he doesn't.
Me: Will you go with us to meet with him tomorrow? He wants to see you.
Zen: I guess.
Desmond: Zendaya, you know that you don't have to go if you don't want to.
Zen: No, dad. I want to go.
Desmond: Okay. We're meeting at 1:00 tomorrow.
Zen: Okay. Can I go back in the family room now?
Desmond: Go ahead baby girl.
She went back in the family room and Desmond and I both made drinks before going back to the family room with the kids. _____________________________________ Let me know what y'all think.
