Chapter 11

Hezekiah

The atmosphere shifted as soon as they entered the backyard. It was Saint’s first birthday, and everyone had gone above and beyond to ensure he enjoyed himself. Eva threw him a party at her parents home, and it was filled with any and everything a one year old would find enjoyable. From clowns and magicians to nursery rhyme singing bands and face painting. Everything was going perfect… until Miles and his wife arrived.

Hezekiah was seated comfortably in the back with Izeah, Eva’s father, and a few of her male cousins until Eva wobbled over to tell her father that Miles had arrived. In less than one second, all of the men had stood, dropped their beers, and began to make their way over.

Hezekiah made it just in time to hear Miles say, “What gives you the right to have a party for my son and not invite me?”

His eyes went from Miles to the woman standing next to him with a satisfied grin. Eva chuckled, tightening her grip on her red, plastic cup.

“Being his mother gave me the right. How did you even find us here?”

“I figured you were here when I stopped by your place and you weren’t there. I want to celebrate my son’s first year of life.”

Wrapping his arm around Eva’s waist, Hezekiah pulled her into his side. It was like Miles had just noticed all the men that were surrounding her.

“Who in the hell are you?” Miles questioned, turning more in Hezekiah’s direction.

“You don’t need to be concerned with who I am until you give me a reason to come after you.”

Eva’s father, Jacob, chuckled and patted Hezekiah’s shoulder. “You got this, son?”

“Yes, sir. Go enjoy yourself.” Hezekiah waited until her father walked away to ask Eva, “You want me to handle this?”

Her hand patted his chest gently as she shook her head. “He can stay as long as he doesn’t say or do anything disrespectful.”

“I want to take my son to my place. Dreya and I are having a party for him there.”

“I’ve told you several times that I’m not comfortable with you taking him until after you’ve had supervised visits with him.”

Miles clenched jaw and fists didn’t go unnoticed. Hezekiah pulled Eva behind him, motioning for Izeah to go and get Saint.

“And I told you I’m not agreeing to that bullshit.”

“Well, I guess you’ll have to wait until after the judge grants you partial custody, or you can stay here and celebrate with us. Either is fine with me.”

“You act like you don’t realize the kindness we’re granting you,” Dreya finally spoke up.

“Aye, lil mama,” Elise called. “This ain’t got shit to do with you.”

“It has everything to do with me. This is my husband and my stepson. Who are you?”

“Please don’t talk to her,” Eva warned, stepping back to Hezekiah’s side. “This doesn’t concern you. He’s not listed as the father of my child, and that was his choice. I told him what it would take for us to be on the same page and for him to sign the birth certificate, but he didn’t agree.
