MARRIED TO MY KIDS FATHER

Chapter:2

My mum came and sat next to her. She didn't utter a word. We sat there silent till she broke the silence. 'Your father is waiting for you.' she said. I just took my bag to leave, only for her to hold my hand. ' Can we talk ?' She asked. 'There is nothing to talk about mama,' I said. 'There is my daughter, you didn't deserve what I made you go through. I was supposed to support not turn against you. I made it hard for you when you needed me the most. Shut you out like you were never my own child. And worst of all, watch you suffer. Forgive me child, I didn't know what came over that I chose to act that way.'' Mama, I forgive you. I don't hold any grudge against you. You should stop stressing over things that happened long ago.' I replied. We gave each other a hug. I could not believe my mum embraced me in a warm hug after many years of having our differences. She made me feel that motherly love again.We broke apart when my sister interrupted us saying that dad was still waiting for me. 'Hope you plan to stay,. I missed you, so we can make up for the lost time, 'she said.' How about we go for a girls' date when dad is discharged?I suggested .

I left them embracing each other and went to see my dad. I stood at the door watching him.' Have you not missed me, my princess ? He asked,'No papa, I miss you', I said. We hugged each other before he started coughing. 'Am sorry, are you okay? Should I call the doctor? 'I asked. ' I am fine my daughter. You don't have to worry?' he replied. "You don't look happy papa , what is it?" I asked . I could tell there was something wrong with him. I sat next to him. "Forgive your mum, she is sorry. Guilt has been eating her, and she is too stubborn to ask for forgiveness." "I already forgave her for that. We even plan to go for a girls' date after you heal and get discharged." I said

We spoke a lot with my dad. He seemed to be worried about me. He asked how long I was going to stay. He was afraid to hear my answer. He knew if I had made my decision. No one was going to change my mind. "I don't know yet, but I will stay here for a while before I move to South Africa if my plans go well. "He was happy to hear that. He hated to see me stay away from him. "Where will you be staying?"he asked." I bought an apartment while still in Germany." I said. He was so happy. I could tell. "Got your father's brain, I see. It is only stubbornness that you got from your mum."

My stay with my dad was cut short when the doctor came to check on him. I left him to rest and promised him to visit him once he is out of the hospital. I went back home while the kids went home with my mum and siblings. I had to arrange our stuff and do some cleaning. When I arrived, I had a nap for almost an hour before waking up and cleaning up. The kids were brought later when I was done with everything and brought homemade dinner with them.

It was a fully furnished two-bedroom apartment, with a modern kitchen and pantry. Large widows let the light in and, best of all, had the best view of the city, especially at night.

The kids went to check out their room and started arguing. They would argue over petty stuff and I would leave them to settle it unless it led to a fight. That is when I could interfere. They argued over who was to sleep on the upper bed, since it was a double Decker. Ava started complaining that the room was small, and she needed her own room since she was a big girl.

That night, we decided to watch a movie.

We were settling in well, my dad was already discharged from the hospital. I went and stayed with him for two days before coming back to my apartment. I later went to visit my best friend Talia, who was married to Spencer. She didn't know I was in the country. I bought her some gifts to take with me. She almost fainted seeing me. She thought she was dreaming. Her husband was also in the house while their kids were playing in the backyard.

"I thought you would never come back since you left without saying goodbye," she said." Am sorry about that." I replied. We gave each other a hug before introducing her to the kids. "Look how they have grown" she said, and we busted out laughing." You have done a good job rasing these kids alone,"Damon said." Thank you" I replied. He took the kids and introduced them to his kids. We had a lot to catch up with. She made coffee, and we sat at the dining table telling each other what they missed. Damon later came to join ." Aiden just resembles his father. You should let him know he has kids."he said "That will never happen. He should have thought about it before using me and later getting married to the love of his life. I believe that the woman he married can give him those kids he wants. Soon I will introduce them to someone I am dating as their father." I replied. "You can't do that."he said. He was furious. I didn't care about him." Watch me, do it. I suffered while he was enjoying life. We both know if he finds out that I have his kids he will use his power to get the kids and I will never see them again and Aiden will have to carry a burden that he has to be perfect in order to inherit that company. Let them enjoy their childhood. I don't want them to live in such slavery." I said. He was shocked. He understood what I meant by that.

I told Talia that I might stay in the country for a while before leaving, since I wanted Johnson to meet my family. She didn't like the idea that I might leave the country again. We spent the rest of the day with her. She had started her own restaurant . "Congratulations mama," I said. I was happy for her. She took a brave move.
