“ Heath honey why do you not want anything to do with us mothers. We love you honey so much.” She says sobbing with tears as I turn making my loves and kids stop in their tracks
I look at her and the others that have puffy red eyes as they look at me the same with hurt.
“ Because I feel you bitches want him.” I say pointing at Travis as they all shake their heads
“ No Heath we love you all the same. Their are no favorites baby.” Faye tells me as I just shake my head not believing a word any of the mothers say
“ Yeah well I have had the past day to think things through.” I tell them all getting worried expressions as I continue “ Once this vacation is over my fiances, the kids and those that haven’t hurt me are moving.”
All the moms, Kaye, and Michelle look at me with fear. Adam looks at me with worry as he squeezes Michelle’s hand.
“ What do you mean move? Where…where are you moving to Heath?” Verna asks me as I look at her sad face and then those of my other mothers
“ Away from all of you. I will sign the beach house into Travis’s name so you all have a nice place to stay.” I tell them getting shocked expressions
“ Heath stop it please I love you bro.” Travis tells me as I turn reclaiming Jasmine and Hannah’s hands
“ I made my decision….brother.” I say continuing towards the elevator leading my four loves and kids
We leave the mothers and others behind as they are shocked at my words. Once in the elevator and up to the penthouse I make my way to the bedroom only to be followed by Diamond. Before I can do anything she turns me around at the foot of the bed and shoves me back to take a seat on the bed.
“ Baby why are you making this family hurt more? I thought you brought us all here to become closer and stronger?” Diamond says asking me as I look to see hurt in her beautiful eyes
“ I did Diamond, but the past few weeks I have felt Travis is taking this family away from me.” I say as she shakes her head
“ Damn baby do you really think that? Does it really look like YOUR women are spreading their legs for him? Does it look like YOUR kids are calling him daddy? No it doesn’t my love. Heath he is not taking anything from you. As for the mothers, Kaye, and Michelle all they have been doing is assuring Travis that one day you will forgive him. All that man wants is his baby brother back. All he has been doing is praying that you would accept him again, and that shit the other night was just that shit. Did fighting your own brother help you? Fuck baby I cried as did the other women in your life. We were so scared you were hurt somewhere or someone hurt you.” Diamond explains to me as I feel like crap
“ Diamond I.” I try to say as she cuts me off by straddling me with a finger to my lips
“ No baby listen, and listen good. I know you still feel hurt, but your family loves YOU. And we always will, but you need to stop being paranoid. Those three beautiful kids that us ladies gave birth to need their grandparents as much as us. Don’t take them away from those that would give their last breath for those three that have YOUR blood running through their veins.” Diamond tells me again as I look up in her teary eyes as she continues “ I love you baby so very much, but if you want to go through with this you know we will go with you, but at least go down and hear their side of everything.”
I see truth in her eyes as she is right. The door opens catching us both off guard as Diamond gets off my lap. We both look to see it’s Karen with red puffy eyes. She slowly comes up to me before looking at me with her bright blue eyes that I always hope stay.
“ What is it sweetie?” Diamond asks as our daughter looks up at her then at me
“ Daddy have I been bad?” Karen asks shocking me and concerning me
“ No…no baby girl why do you think you have been bad?” I ask as she keeps looking into my eyes
“ You told everyone we were leaving. I don’t want to leave daddy. You and I haven’t had a father and daughter day.” She tells me as I feel a sharp pain in my heart
I look up to see Diamond sobbing as I pick Karen up after looking at her. I hold her close to me. Karen snuggles into me placing her small hand on my chest. I have Diamond take a seat next to me as I place a arm around her as she cuddles up next to me. I think of all I have done the past few days and feel disgusted with myself. I hurt these two along with the ones on the other side of the bedroom door. Diamond is right I needed to listen to those that are my family. I kiss Diamond on the lips in which she returns with passion. I break the kiss to give my little girl one on her forehead. I have them leave so I can get dressed in some clean clothes. Once changed I walk out to see the kids all playing with the toys they have gotten as my four loves come up to me. Tiffany embraces me with tears.
“ Baby please don’t make us leave our parents. They love you so much.” She tells me as I have her look up at me
“ Tiffany you should know me better then that as you have known me the longest of all my loves.” I say as she nods
“ Heath darling you made it known that we were moving.” Hannah says as the other nod
“ I know and I guess I spoke before I thought better. Look lets go down and see our family.” I say as they nod letting me go except Jasmine stays with me
“ Baby I have missed you the past few nights. I was so scared that you did something stupid. Please never scare me like that again.” My sexy latina says as I shake my head
“ Never again I promise. Now lets go I have to say something I haven’t to someone in a long time.” I say as Jasmine nods letting me go to grab her purse
We leave the room making our way down to the lobby. Once we step off the elevator I see our family all sitting still in the lobby. The mothers, Kaye, and Michelle have red puffy eyes as we walk up, but it’s Travis that I hear speaking.
“ I am going to leave as this is all my fault.” He says as Kaye speaks up
“ No baby please don’t leave me. I will go with you my love.” Kaye says pleading to my brother who is her fiance
“ Honey no the kids need you as your their auntie. It will be best if I go as it will fix all this.” He says as I shake my head
“ And who says it will fix everything?” I say catching everyone’s attention
“ Heath what…what are you doing here?” My mother asks as I go to her
I reach for her hand as she cautiously takes it. I pull her to me into a loving son and mother embrace. She returns the hug with tears as I place my hand on the back of her head. She cries as I look at the other mothers that show worry.
“ Shhh mom I am not going to leave you or anyone else. I am sorry for what I said as I was angry…..and I was completely out of line.” I say as Faye comes over to look into my eyes
“ Heath what you said hurt so much, but know we still love you and never stopped. Yes we gave Travis attention, but it was to help him still have hope that his brother would accept him again.” My other mother says as I nod
“ I know momma Faye as it took my shiny Diamond to show me. Look I am deeply sorry for all that I have done. I hope you all can forgive me for my stupidity.” I say to them all as they look at me
My mother eases off me a little to look up at me.
“ Baby, son I love you so very much. I didn’t come out east to only lose you again. I will always forgive you as I am your mother, but if you ever threaten to leave me again I will literally pull your pants down and spank you. And you know I will.” She tells me as the godfather’s chuckle with Chris, Jack, and Travis
“ Ok mom I promise to never threaten anyone with that again.” I tell her as she reaches up to pull me down to kiss my lips
Once she breaks the kiss I let her go making my way over to Travis who has a worried look. I place my right hand on his left shoulder before I speak.
“ Travis I know I have not been fair to you. I know also that you have changed as I have been blinded from seeing and accepting that change.” I say as he nods before he places his right hand on my left shoulder
“ Heath I don’t want anything of yours as I have all I need. I have Kaye who I love. I have a family that loves me and I hope brothers that will accept me.” He says looking at those behind me before he continues “ The only thing that will mean more is you back as my Champ. I love you bro and am sorry for being so stupid.”
“ Tell you what when we get home you and I will have a long talk over some beers. Maybe have a day with just us and our loves.” I say getting a nod before he pulls me into a hug that I return
“ My baby boys are coming back together.” I hear my mother say as I smile hugging my Bubby
After the hug I look around just noticing someone missing.
“ Hey where is Adam?” I ask as Michelle stands up to hold me
“ He left Heath all because of you. Please find my man as I need him.” She tells me as my eyes go wide
“ Dammit I am sorry sis. I will go find him while you all take the kids to Disney.” I say as I see my mother shake her head
“ No honey since today has turned out emotionally tiring. How about we just spend time as a family here in your room.” She asks as I nod
“ Ok and I am sorry for ruining the day.” I say as they all shake their heads
“ No Heath you didn’t. Things happened and it’s just been a few days. We have the rest of the week.” My dad Mike says as I smile with a nod
“ Ok so go up and order room service. I will go find my baby bro.” I say as they all smile at me
I let my sister Michelle go as Chris tosses me a set of keys. He tells me it’s the Jaguar as I look at him wide eyed as he points to dad Mike. Mike shrugs saying ‘ Only the best for this family’. I chuckle as I make my way to give my loves a kiss each and the kids a hug. The godmothers and mothers all stop me showing some love with a hug and kiss on the lips.
I raise a eye brow as they all giggle as Faye kisses my lips a few seconds longer then usual. I make my way out of the building to the car Chris told me about. Once I find it I just shake my head thinking my godfather Mike was going over board, but I can’t say it wasn’t for good intentions. I get in after unlocking the door. I have a pretty good idea where Adam could be. I started up the car then put it in gear. I made my way out of the hotel parking lot making my way to find the one man that never gave up on me.
