Trails of fire - Chapter 3
i woke up feeling exhausted from last night, I look to my left and see that Chris is still asleep. I finally decide to stand up so I could go to the bathroom and do my morning routine.
as I am showering all of the stuff that was said last night and all of the stuff that has been happening for the past couple of months kept flooding in my mind.
"Chris, where were you today?"
"I know thats not a excuse but im sorry"
"I care about y'all every single day"
" all you do is work, work and work some more"
" you always come home withe the same damn excuse!"
"I go to work and bust my ass of for all of us and it is not a excuse its the truth!"
"is there somebody else!"
"ooh so now you think im cheating on you"
"I dont even recognize you anymore"
I keep asking myself the same question everyday "am I really happy in this marriage? - no, but do I love him yes with everything in me."
my tears starts to come down and I couldn't control them anymore.
after a 30 minutes I got out of the shower and decides that I had to get out of the house and do something for myself.
I wrote a small note letting him know that I was going out for today and left it on his nightstand.
i woke up and looked to my right and saw it was empty
"where could she be" I thought
I turned around so I could take my phone from the nightstand and saw a note that said:
he stood up from the bed and went to get ready for the day
he then went downstairs and took his cars keys from the table and got in his car and decides to go and see the kids today.
after a 20 min drive he arrived at Zink's house (Daya cousin) and knocked on the door
after a couple of secondes he saw someone coming to the door and open it
"hey man come in" zink husband said
"hey man" he greeted back and dapped him
"how have you been?" he asked and walked him to the living room where Zink and the kids where
"I've been busy how about you"
" busy as well-" he got cut of by 2 kids yelling Chris name
"DADDY" the ran up to him
he bends down and picked them up and gave them kisses
"are we going home today?" Royalty ask eagerly
"yes" he said and put them down
"uncle can you help us with our stuff please"
"yess let go" he said and walked with the to the stairs
"im sorry for not calling and picking them up early" he apologized
"no its fine, how are you anyways?"
"im good I just been really busy with my music"
"ah thats good anything new your working on"
"no not yet but im working with other artist right now" (which is kinda true)
"lets go daddy" Royalty said
"say bye to your aunty and uncle"
they said there goodbyes and then went to the car
"so what do y'all wanna do today" he turned around so he could look at them
"buy new toys" Royalty said looking at him with puppy dog eyes
"mhh..let me think about it" he said playfully
"please daddy" the kids said
he started the car and they left
Daya Pov (couple of hours later*)
im at the nail salon getting my nails done and scrolling through my phone when I get a call from Chris that I decided not to pick up, because you never know where this conversation is gonna go its either a argument or him making up without a apology
he called a couple more times, and then I saw a text from him saying
"I called you to ask where you were and that me and the kids are home"
she rolled her eyes at the text cause he aint been letting her know where he has been and know he is asking her, and she asked her cousin Zink to watch the kids for a reason so that she can have a little alone time from all of the stress she been having
she was thinking if she should text back or not, after a minute of thinking she decided to text back.
"im out, I will be back later tonight"
when she was finally done with her nails, she payed and thanked her nail tech and left to go in her car.
she then got a text from her best friend Deja asking if she wanted to meet up for dinner and some drinks. she replied and went to the restaurant they were about to meet up at.
she arrived and went inside
"hey girl how are you" they hugged each other and sat down
"hello welcome to happy Italy, im your server for today can I get you something to drink" the waiter said
"can I get a coke please"
"okay i will be right back with your order" they thanked him and he left
"now how are you really?"
"im good" she told her trying to convince her
"and now without the fake smile that your pulling on me"
just when she was about to answer her the waiter came back with their drinks
"are y'all ready to order?"
they said their order and went back to her conversation
"to be honest with you....I havent been good lately, me and Chris have been distance lately, its hard for me to do my job when I always taking care of the kids when Chris is gone and im just super stressed about it all. I told Chris I wanted a nanny for when we are both gone but he didn't even wanna think about it cause he wanted us both to be there which I totally understand, but he is hardly there"
"girl I knew a bit of what was going on because you told me but I didn't know it was like this now, have y'all been going out together or anything"
"no the last time we went out was like 5 almost 6 months ago and then everything went downhill from there"
"but what took y'all to this point y'all was so happy before all of this happend, and have you told anyone else"
"well I only told zink everything that happend but I rather discuss it with you somewhere private not in public"
"we can't go to my apartment if your not comfortable"
she agreed and took their food to go
after a 20 min drive they arrived at Deja's apartment. they went inside and made themselves comfortable
"whenever your ready im listening"
"well like I said it all happend about 5/6 months ago a few weeks before that I didn't feel good, and I remember those feelings cause thats how I felt when I was pregnant with Royalty so decided to take a test..
i waited for the minutes to be over but the longer I kept looking at the clock the longer it took, after a minute or 2 the timer finally started ringing and I went to look at the test at it was positief
"omggg..." she looked at the test with tears in her eyes
she picked up her phone and decided to call up her doctor to make a appointment, the doctor said she could come now cause they had a spot free
luckily for her she was home alone. she went to go get her bag and her keys and went to the doctor
when she arrived at the doctor, they did all the test and confirmed her that she was indeed pregnant and she was 4 weeks . she then went to the mall to get some cute gifts so she could announce the news to Chris
on her way home she also picked up the kids and waited for Chris to come home.
after waiting a couple of hours he was finally home
"hey babe I gotta show you something in the kitchen" she said with excitement
she took his hand and brought him to the kitchen, he saw a bag with ballons attached to it
"oooh a gift for me" he said like a little kid
"hahaha yass, now open it please"
he openend it and saw a red box in it, he openend the bag and saw a shirt and another small Lon box in it. he decided to open the box first and saw a pregnancy bag, his eyes went big ad he looked at her, he then took the shirt and read what was on there
"baby..are..you" he couldn't even finish his words
"yass we are having another baby" she said with tears in her eyes
he came up to her and hugged her
Chris decided that it was good idea to go on a date. they got ready for their date and waited for his mother to come so they could leave.
Chris heard the doorbell ring and went downstairs to open the door
"hey hun" his mother hugged him
his mom went to hug they kids as Chris waited for Zendaya to come down so they could leave. after a couple of minutes she came down stairs and greeted her mother in law and they left
they was enjoying themselves at the restaurant, they talked about everything. they talked about the baby, new projects, the kids ext.
when they arrived home Daya started to feel cramps, but this one was different it was something she hasn't felt before. as the time went by they became heavier, she told Chris and they asked his mother if she could stay longer and would tell her everything later
he carried her to the car and drove her to the ER
they went inside and helped her, he waited and prayed that everything was okay. after waiting for 1 hour the nurse took him to her room so that he could see her.
he went over to her and gave her a hug and at next to her on the bed
the doctor came to her room so he could talk to them
"is the baby okay"they both asked
"so we have done some test and we have done a ultrasound to check everything and unfortunately the baby didn't make it im sorry" the doctor said
when they heard these words, both of their world felt like it was ending. they both couldn't handle it, and thats when everything went wrong
Chris started to work more to get rid of the hurt from that event, and she talked less didn't wanna tell anybody what happend that day because it was to painful. they started to see each other less, they was always fighting and haven't had a normal conversation since..
Tears were streaming down both of their faces as she finished telling the story
"i..i..didnt know all of this happend to y'all..im so sorry" she went over to her and gave her a hug
"I love him with everything in me, but im not happy at all" she said and cried on her friends shoulder.
