Nothing makes sense

Four years! Myra could not believe it, she has been unconscious for four good years and she has four kids!
How on earth did she give birth while on unconscious? If not for the surgical scar in her stomach, she wouldn’t have believe that she is now a mother of three.
She could not wrap her head around the fact that four years was gone but the most baffling thing is Adam Rodriguez.
Perhaps it is because she has been asleep for so long but he is looking differently at her, in a weird kind of way. A way that she could not comprehend.
“Do you want some water Honey?” he asked and move to pour her a glass.
The kids are staring at her like some precious asset and everything is a bit overwhelming, she took the water from him and gulp it down quickly.
“Be careful, the doctor said you are still weak” he said and took the cup from her, he graze her lips with his fingers to clean up and Myra jump.
“What is going on?” she asked.
“What do you mean Honey?” he asked unfazed and Myra gasp in dismay.
Adam look at her and know that she will not be able to take anymore of it, he turn to the kids who wouldn’t leave her side and whisper into their ears.
“Mom, we will be back soon” they all chorus again and run out of the room.
Myra watch them go and feel bad that she did not welcome them warmly, she just could not process everything that has happened in just few moments.
“Now?” she turn back to Adam who is still standing with his hands in his pocket.
“What?” his sweet caring expression changes to a cold one.
That is the Adam Rodriguez that she knows, the cold and heartless one who kicked her out the minute his ex-lover came back.
****
Myra did not waste more time in the hospital and ask to be discharged, the first thing that she did as soon as she get out of bed is ask for their divorce to be finalized. She has lost the papers in the car accident so she need another one.
“Divorce papers?” Adam asked being oblivious again.
“Yes Adam, We are supposed to be divorced remember?’ she said sounding sarcastic.
“Honey, I think you are mistaken, we are not getting divorced” he said and pick up her bag immediately.
Myra rush to stop him having enough of his gibberish but the kids rush in and throw their hands around her holding her still while chattering happily.
Not wanting to alert the kids, she glare at him as she hug them and let them take her out of the room into the waiting car.
The home she hasn’t been in for four years seem to have changed so much. There is a different decor and the furniture look different.
“Welcome home Mom” the triplet shout excitedly.
“Do you want to see our room?” one of the triplet, a boy asked dragging her hands.
Myra smile at how enthusiastic they always are, she is about to follow the boy upstairs when she catch the glimpse of someone walking downstairs.
“Aunt Donna” the baby girl called and run to meet Donna who is dressed in a really short skirt and smiling pleasantly.
She is still here.
Myra thought and her excitement of seeing the kids’ room died down and all she want is to walk out like she did four years ago except that she pray she does not want to get into an accident again and end up as a old woman.
One of the boys pull at Myra’s hand and she bent down to his heights and he whisper into her ears.
“Don’t let her have Dad” he said and turn to stare at Donna.
Seem like she got one of them on her side without even trying.
“Leslie” Donna called sweetly.
“Mummy is back” Leslie said excitedly
Donna look up at Myra who is standing with the other two and her eyes clouded, she thought that the last time she has seen her four years ago would be the last time ever but there she is again.
“Hi Myra” she greeted.
“Hi” Myra reply and proceed to walk upstairs.
Now, she really have to move out, there is no way she is going to continue in the same living space with Donna.
“Adam” Donna called and Myra stopped.
“We need to talk”
Adam notice the look on the two women’s face and realize what the problem is, he has forgotten all about Donna.
“Kids go upstairs” Adam said and walk pass Donna who is hoping to be seen by him.
She retrieve her hands and pursed her lips together and focus on the kids instead, taking them upstairs for a chat.
Myra watch her walk pass with her kids, it seem they are really close with aunt Donna, she walk back to Adam.
“I want a divorce” she let out.
“OK” Adam reply calmly placing the bag on the table.
Myra was taken aback at his response, she expect him to refuse but it seem all that pretentious attitudes of his are over.
“I will give you the divorce you want Myra White, but let be clear that you are not taking my kids with you”
“What? They are my kids”
“You think I will let you walk away with my kids?”
“You told me to kill them and now you love them, What a joke Adam Rodriguez” Myra said and cross her arms against her chest.
“They are mine Adam and I get to keep them” she said boldly not backing out
“It’s your choice Myra, either you stay and we raise them up together or we get divorce like you want and you leave” he said and start to walk away.
Myra chuckle at his ridiculousness, he is always leaving after he’s done with whatever he has to say but this time, she wouldn’t let that happen.
She rush at him and grab his hand pulling him back but it seem he already predict that and grab her swiftly around the waist instead and push her on himself.
“What are you doing Adam?” Myra gasp in awe.
She try to get out but he grab her face instead and kiss her rendering her speechless and dumb.
