A Family Betrayal Chapter 41_(0) by Hawkrider

It was a silent moment while all my wives and loves came over. They each looked Kendra up and down almost as if they were sizing her up. I felt Kendra grab my hand while looking back at them, but the only difference was she was standing with a proud expression. I just turned my head back to see Jasmine come up quickly without me noticing.SLAP

“ What are you thinking calling her your girlfriend? Have you been cheating on us with…with her?” Jasmine asks sounding a bit upset and disgusted like I downgraded

“ Actually I haven’t if you have to know. It’s just I knew Kendra in college. She use to hang out with Adam, Jack, and I. In fact she hung out with you a little before the first pregnancy.” I say while rubbing the left side of my face

Jasmine and my ladies turn to see Adam and Jack nod.

“ Heath’s right sis. Remember her nickname is Skittles. You know like ‘Taste the rainbow’. Shoot at one time you two were so close that I thought you’d talk her into your bed with Heath and you.” Jack says with a smile while Sierra and Mandy look at him

“ Taste the rainbow? What is that suppose to mean baby? You keep saying that like it is her catch phrase or something.” Sierra asks while looking into his eyes

“ It’s because I love eating Skittles.” Kendra says answering before Jack does getting Sierra’s attention

“ You sure that is the reason? I kinda think he meant something else.” Jessie says with a smirk that makes me shake my head before I hear Serena scream

“ KIMDRA!” Serena screams yelling coming down from using the potty only to make her way past my ladies

“ Hey Serena.” Kendra says while squatting with her arms open. Serena runs into Kendra’s chest to kiss what she believed to be her cousin

We all watch while Kendra wraps her arms around Serena only to stand back up. Serena holds on tight before breaking the kiss and leaning back a little to look in Kendra’s eyes.

“ Why are you here Kimdra?” My little adoptive daughter asks

“ I came to see Heath honey.” Kendra answers while I see Serena’s eyes go wide. She looks at Kendra to speak.

“Daddy said a Kendra was coming not you Kimdra.” Karen buts in,”Umm ma’am… it your name Kendra or Kimdra? I’m confused.” Kendra explains taking her friend Kimberly over to Tracy’s and trying to get Serena to talk and once Serena started calling her Kimdra she never corrected her. My family nods and Serena looks back to Kendra

“ Your…your that Kimdra?” Serena asks to get a nod

“ Yes baby girl.” Kendra says with a smile and I see Jasmine has a look of confusion

“ How do you know her Serena?” Diamond asks to only have Serena turn to look at all those that think of her like another daughter

“ She’s my mommy Tracey’s niece. She is my big sister auntie Diamond.” Serena says while they all see Kendra nod before Serena hugs Kendra again to get a big squeeze

“ Actually my mother use to attend parties with Ron, Gina, and Tracey. She still does occasionally.” Kendra says to only get nods

“ Oh.” Diamond says before Serena speaks up again

“ Kimmy can you take me swimming in the ocean? Daddy says I need an adult with me.” Serena asks while Kendra nods

“ I would love to sweetie, but can Heath come along honey because I want to spend time with him?” Kendra asks to get a bright smile

“ Yes Kimmie daddy can come.” Serena says confusing Kendra

“ Honey Ron is your daddy.” Kendra says to get a yes and no

“ Yes he is my daddy, but so is daddy Heath. He’s my other daddy.” Serena says to get a smile from Kendra

“ Aww that is so sweet baby girl.” Kendra says while holding Serena who is like my other daughter

“ So will you take me Kimmie?” Serena asks to get a nod

“ Yes honey why don’t you go change. That is if you have a swimsuit over here.” Kendra says while letting Serena down

“ Yes I do, will you come up and help me?” Serena asks to only be told no

“ Sorry baby girl, but your other aunties and I need to talk to your other daddy and Kendra.” Jasmine says while glaring at Kendra looking like she is going to behead her

“ Aww no fair.” Serena says lowering her head almost as if she is going to cry

“ Come on honey let Grammie Vannah and Megan help you.” Savannah says getting up from Nick’s lap

“ Ok grammie, but I wanted to show Kimdra my new suit you got me.” Serena says going over to take Savannah’s left hand

“ You will later honey now come on so we can get you ready.” Savannah says looking at me worried

“ Come on kids let’s go get you all ready.” Megan says and I see five other faces light up. The kids love Savannah, Megan and my other Alabama sisters so much. And I know they love the kids just like their own grandkids which isn’t to far off.

The older kids get up making their way to the stairs. Karen stops to only make her way over to Kendra.

“ It’s nice to meet you Miss. Skittles.” Karen says with a smile

“ Aww and it is nice to meet you too Karen.” Kendra says while I chuckle inside

Karen motioned for Kendra to lean down.

“ My daddy likes you.” I overheard my oldest say with a giggle while Kendra smiles looking up at me

“ Well honey the feeling is mutual.” Kendra says making me blush

Karen turns to smile up at me before running off to join the others. Once the kids are out of ear shot that is when Jasmine spoke up.

“ So how long have you both been screwing? And let me guess the skank is pregnant.” Jasmine says in a matter of factly way

“ For your concern we haven’t. Jasmine you need to calm down. And that is the first thing that pops into your head?” I say feeling very upset with her question implying I would ever betray her or any of the other wives

“ Well excuse me Heath. It’s just she shows up, and then you introduce her as your girlfriend. You con the kids into loving on her. It really makes me wonder if you haven’t been cheating.” Jasmine says before Kendra steps up

“ Jasmine for your information I have always liked Heath. He has shown me what a real man is all about. And I considered you a friend and as such I would NEVER do anything behind your back. That hurts that you would think so little of me and Heath.” Kendra says while she starts to sob

“ What’s with the water works all of a sudden?” Diamond asks and I pull Kendra to me

Kendra places her hands on my chest with her head also against my chest. Adam and Jack get up coming over to stand between us and Jasmine.

“ Sis you really want to know WHY Kendra and Heath seem so close?” Adam asks while Diamond, Jasmine, and my other ladies nod

“ Actually yes Adam we do.” Hannah says speaking up smiling hoping Adam would tell them something to show my infidelity

Adam and Jack turn to see me nod before looking back to their sisters.

“ It’s because she was going to be raped and then killed afterwards by someone she thought loved her like she loved him.” Adam says getting shocked looks

“ What…what do you mean Adam?” Jessie asks while Kendra cries softly

“ Her boyfriend and his few friends were going to rape her. Then after they got done that was when they were going to kill her.” Jack says sounding emotional while my ladies look at one another then at us

“ Adam why didn’t you guys tell me this before? It changes…….” Jasmine asks while Adam lowers his head before Jack answers

“ Because that night we saw a side to our brother we have never seen. What he did to Tyrone was a day at the fair compared to what he did to those three assholes.” Jack says getting shocked and stunned looks

“ Jack your scaring me. What….what did our baby do?” Allison asks with a frightened look

“ Allison I….” Jack tries to say before Diamond quickly steps up taking his collar in her hands

“ TELL US PLEASE!” Diamond yells before Kendra turns to stand in front of me placing her back up against me

“ He became a demon that you only hear about. That night while Adam and Jack tried to make sure I was composed we say something horrible. We watched as this kind, caring, and gentle man turned into a no mercy, no morse, and raging hulk of a man. He broke bones and bloodied their faces. It was not the Heath we all knew. That….that night the man that became one of my best friends became a man I vowed to love. It was his caring for me that saved me from that experience that would have happened.” Kendra explains getting wide and shocked eyes

“ Damn Heath is she telling the truth?” Hannah asks and I just nod

“ Yes Hannah she is. That night I became something that scared even me. The reason we never spoke of it was because I didn’t want any of you to be frightened of me, and I had to save a woman that had always been there when Jasmine was home during her pregnancy.” I answer to see nods from them

“ Jasmine, Diamond, and the rest of you…..Heath and I have never been intimate. Although I wish we could of been, but I didn’t want him to be in trouble.” Kendra says leaning more back on me with her hands over mine that were on her belly

It went suddenly silent for a few moments until Nick spoke up.

“ Girls remember the story that Savannah, Sasha, Lucy, and I told you?” Nick asks to get nods before he continued. “ Well back then I was going to do whatever I had to just to protect my family. When a man feels he has to sacrifice himself to save one or many he will do what his heart will tell him, or what he feels.”

My ladies stare into his eyes before turning to look at Kendra and I. We stood there for a moment before hearing the sounds of giggling coming back down the stairs. The girls ran over to only stop at Kendra and my feet.

“ What’s wrong with Kendra daddy? Why is she crying?” Lindsey asks with such concern

“ Nothing honey I am ok. It’s just I care and love your daddy so much.” Kendra says while I see Jasmine and the others look at Kendra with a look that seemed to be only of concern

“ Oh ok, but can we go now?” Lindsey asks while Serena reaches for Kendra’s hands while Karen and Lindsey take mine
