Naima 16

I cannot believe what is going on around here. Everything is out of sorts. I have a half sister in the other room, that I never knew existed. My father has gone up to talk to her, and my mom is around here somewhere cleaning as if her life depends on it. What is really good? I open the door to the room that Namiyah and Kalani are sharing for the moment, and my angels are fast asleep. Bless their little hearts. They look so peaceful when they sleep. I quietly shut the door to their room and look for my mother. I have a slight inkling of how she feels, and what she is going through. I make my way down the stairs and think I hear her moving around in the kitchen. As I reach the kitchen doorway, I see her standing at the counter with her head in her hands sobbing.

My eyes begin to tear up. I feel so bad. No one wants to see their mom hurting like this, it is so sad.

“Hi Mommy.” She jerks her head up at the sound of my voice. She sweeps the floor like nothing is wrong.

“Hey baby, what you still doing up? Don’t you have to work tomorrow?”

“I thought I would check on you before I went to sleep. That was some pretty heavy news to deal with.”

“I’ll be fin-.” My mother stops mid sentence when the door opens and my father enters the kitchen. My mother looks up at him and goes back to sweeping.

“Cynthia, I can explain this.” He begins.

“I don’t see where you can Kenneth. Whatever you have to say is not going to be enough.”

“Will you at least let me try?”

“Kenneth what is there to say? You had an affair and you fathered another child. I mean, am I missing something here?” My mother’s voice was dripping with sarcasm.

“Cynthia it wasn’t as…it didn’t quite happen like that.”

“Didn’t it? Or was that not your child that walked through this door not too long ago? Before you deny anything and make an ass of yourself. That child looks just like you.”

There was nothing my dad could say. He looked so guilty.

“Cynthia please, please let me explain,” he pleads with her. “I know to you it may seem as if I just went off and had an affair, but it wasn’t like that. During the time all of that took place, you and I were having issues. I was depressed about losing my job and living off my wife. I was going through some things.”

“We both were having issues Kenneth, but I didn’t go out and sleep with the first guy that I saw.”

“Baby it wasn’t like that. It was something that just happened. I did not go looking for it or planning it. It just happened, plain and simple.”

“Just happened? I wish I had a nickel for every time a man said that. It’s amazing how I don’t have any ‘just happened’ moments.” My mom pauses for a minute.
