Undoing Love

Trouble Comes Knocking

Stacy's Pov

Today's the day that we would be seeing Alfonzo's parents, at this point I have had to explain to my children that they are their father's parents that how they are also their grandparents. It was almost like an examination and now I have determined that I have to atleast give them the cliff notes version of what happened to their father and I. I even showed them some pictures. We would be going to the park today for a picnic and play time. We are just waiting for Diana and Vincenzo to get here so we can live together. My children decided today is the day they want to dress the same.All three of them had on khaki combat shorts with red tee shirt and a black sleeveless jacket, combined with black sneakers. I sometimes forget that I am also partly to blame since I had bought some of these clothes but only at their demands. Giselle had her split right down the middle and packed with ribbons making her look even more beautiful and cute. Although she had my colouring they all had their father's grey eyes, but I am happy she atleast got my raven black hair. If I ever have a child again they better get my black hair and green eyes.

I heard the doorbell ring and I called out to the kids to come downstairs as we would be living soon. I opened the door to let them in and had a slightly awkward greeting with Vincenzo while Diana already went in for a hug. There's never any awkward moment with the woman as she always goes out of her way to make everyone comfortable. She was already cooing and ahhing over the children making them preen like peacocks even more, what child doesn't like to hear how good they looked? We took the elevator downstairs and to my surprise they came with a limo and when I expressed my reasoning for the SUV as it had their car seats and such, Diana insisted that she had it covered.We got in much to the excitement of the children and it was already fitted with car seats for them and still enough space for us. The children were already asking questions about the compartments and purpose for anything that they didn't recognize. We got to the park and we had a lot of fun watching the children with the children running around, while Vincenzo didn't say much apart from asking me the children's full names and if at any time I may be willing to adopt their father's surnames to which I answered I would think about it. I also noticed he was on his phone while asking these questions, not sure if he was recording and at this point I don't really care as I am the one doing them a favour by letting them into my children's life ans if taken for granted I had the wherewithal to fight them to any extent for my children. He actually made efforts to run after the children and play catch after which he was breathing so hard I was almost afraid he might have a heart attack. And then we all got laughing when he confessed he had not had this much activity in decades as he was just using only walking fir exercise. Then they asked me the children's likes and dislikes, allergies and what not. Surprisingly their father was also allergic to nuts as they were, so I was always careful about the kind of chocolates or ice cream and even fast food I bought to avoid any such attacks. We had a fun day and stopped for ice cream on our way back, the children were beginning to dose even as we got closer to my house. They helped me carrying the children to their bedroom and I noticed them both looking around their room. It was the masters bedroom converted to accommodate all three of them especially as I didn't want to use bunk beds for the boys. We had all four walls of the room with different wall papers, animals, cars, princesses and superheroes as demanded by my cheeky children, it kinda looked mismatched to me but it worked for them so that's all that matters. When I left their room after cleaning them up and tucking them in with the help, I came downstairs to meet Diana and Vincenzo waiting for me. I assumed they would have left or just say bye and do so but it seems there was an issue.

I wondered what could be the issue. Vincenzo cleared his throat and spoke after looking at his wife. " I know you do not want to hear nor have anything to do with my son and I honestly do not blame you for this. But I would like to appeal to you to try despite whatever pains and hardships you have gone through to keep an open mind, while I am not proud of the way he handled your issue, I cannot also totally blame him as there's some things that has recently come to light that has made it not totally his fault" We didn't have the knowledge that we have now. Please when the time comes, try to keep an open mind and listen to him before you make any decisions, we cannot insist on anything we are only appealing to you, with that being said we would take our live now. We bade our goodbyes and they left. I sat down to watch one or two episodes of my favorite series with a glass of wine.

Lilith's Pov

I have been lying low for my debacle of a career to blow over from trending to nothing. I never thought that at one point of my life I would crave anonymity like my life depended on it. I really wonder how it all came to this, everything blowing up in my face at the same time. Who could have it out for me, it couldn't have been Alfonzo because till now the dumb man had no idea what I have done if not I would be scarf for my life. The ringing of the phone had me tensed up at what news would be on the other side. It was Jennifer, although we call ourselves friends we were always trying to one-up each other with me winning most of the time. I answered on the second ring "hey, how are you? I am fine and better than you right now especially as I am looking at your former in-laws with their grandchildren right now, am sending you a picture of their happy gathering" too bad you don't have children, I think it would be good to organize a play date with them. You didn't tell me Alfonzo had children or if I remember correctly you said he couldn't have children and now I see three copies of him, it sucks to know that you were lying am sure our friends would have something to say about that. How does this sound " bad girl Lilith couldn't have children so she lied it was her husband who had a problem ". Am sure they would love to hear about it, anyways talk to you some other time. Lilith screamed and flung her phone on the couch as she wouldn't want tobe replacing it by going out. She was very angry and red in the face, how dare she make a mockery of me? But wait children? He has children? I would deal with him and that b***h and even the children, nobody can know. I have to do something about those kids before people know about them. And the nerve of the Reeds allowing people to see them with the children and now I am being mocked, I will show them, I will show them all why they shouldn't mess with me starting with that upstart Jennifer, I am going to make sure she gets it real good. Misery loves company so how about her career also going down, afterall not everyone knows she's a single mother being a high profile model, she wouldn't want people to know that she had a baby in high school and I am sure the paps would just love that and the best part is that she had a baby for a married man who still doesn't know that she had his baby. Anything to get back at that foolish woman thinking she could laugh at me. But firstly let's deal with Alfonzo he's mine alone and I wouldn't let him have any happy ending with another woman, I must deal with them now, I made a call to a number I haven't called in years " hello, I need a job done. I have three little ants that I want you to squash and it must be done neatly and without trace, can you do that? Okay, price? Yes good. How soon would I get a confirmation? Am sending you their picture right now. Do it well.
