Chapter 10

Kyra walked out of the kitchen, and looked at Jake who was doing his homework. She walked over sitting beside him, and grabbed the book out of his hand.

"Give that back to me, I want to finish so I can watch TV after dinner"

"What is going on why is Mom sleeping , and Dad is in there acting like he never left"?

"I don't know Kira but I like it"

"OK this is really crazy I'm going up to talk to Mom"

"Wait she is sleeping leave her alone"

"I need to talk to her" Kira got up she was about to go upstairs but she stopped when Cheyenne , Van, and Elizabeth came in.

"Hey where is Mom"?

"Upstairs sleeping while Dad is in the kitchen making dinner"

"Couch is here great" Van walked into the kitchen, Cheyenne put Elizabeth down, and she ran over to Jake who moaned when she was trying to get his attention.

"Guys I am trying to do my homework here"

"I will get her in a minute she loves you Jake"

"I know but she is ripping my papers she wants to color".

Kira turned, "Jake just watch her for a moment, I need to talk to Cheyenne for a minute".

"Fine don't yell at me Kira"

"Well stop whining baby"

Cheyenne grabbed Kira's arm, "Not in front of Elizabeth, I don't want her to see fighting"

"I'm not fighting"

Cheyenne pulled her out on the front porch, and shut the door.

"OK Kira your upset more than usual, what is going on"?

"Mom is upstairs sleeping , and Dad is in the kitchen pretending he never left, and I feel like I'm in some bad movie, and I just woke up from a bad dream, and my Parents never divorced, and my Dad never left us to hook up with his Office Assistant"

"Have some respect hush Dad, and Mom could hear you"

"Oh come on it happened he has a family down the street. He said Mom is letting him move in, and we have no say in it"

"OK maybe he is having trouble with Barbara Jean, and Mom is feeling sorry for him"

"Well I'm not happy about this Mom will get hurt, and he will leave, and we have to watch her mourn again , I for one am not going to do it again"

"This is Mom's house, and I for one will respect her wishes"

"I'm out of here I thought maybe you would understand" Kira ran down the steps, and down the street, Cheyenne yelled out for her to stop but she kept going. She stood for a minute thinking but she turned, and went back into the house. Jake was playing with Elizabeth on the floor making Cheyenne smile.

"Jake I can watch her now if you want to do your homework"

"It is OK I'm fine". Van came out of the kitchen, and walked over to Cheyenne , and whispered.

"Your Dad is moving in, I think there is trouble in his marriage he didn't go into details but he seems fine."

"Kira is so angry I'm worried about her"

"Where did she go"?

"Who knows but I have a feeling to Barbara Jean's, I thinks she should mind her own business, but she is afraid for Mom. I love my Dad but I don't want my Mom hurt again"

"Couch loves your Mom"

"He is married Van to Barbara Jean"

"I know but he could still love your Mom don't yell at me Cheyenne"

"Sorry I think I'm going to go up, and see my Mom"

"Your Dad said she had a bad day so take it easy on her"

"I will she is my Mom"

"I know I will watch Elizabeth dinner is ready soon". Cheyenne smiled she went upstairs as Van turned, and walked over to Elizabeth, and Jake, and sat on the floor with them, and Elizabeth handed her Daddy a toy tea cup, and pretended to pour him some tea as Jake smiled.
