A/N:Dayday1075 to answer your question I actually forgot about Chris. But I will address his feelings this chapter. Thank you so much for the reminder.
Two weeks later…
I was getting ready for work and Emma was already downstairs eating breakfast. I walked over and kissed Maya's forehead and checked on the twins before grabbing Emma and leaving. the day went by pretty slow the bell finally rung letting the kids know the day was over. Emma came walking into my classroom with a sad look on her face. "Baby what's wrong?" I asked. she looked like she been crying. "Nothing." she said sitting at one of the desk. "No come here what is wrong I can tell." she walked over and shrugged her shoulders. "Nothing I'm okay." I left it alone seeing she wasn't going to tell me what was bothering her. I finish the last little bit grading I had to do and we left to go home.
Maya was sitting on the couch and the twins were asleep in the vibrating chairs. "Hey Em and Emma." she said kissing me then bending down to Emma. "What's the matter?" Maya asked and Emma shook her head. "I have to use the bathroom." she said walking pass Maya. "Mayan come here." I said and she walked into the kitchen. "yeah babe." I shook my head. "Something happen at school but she want tell me what happen." Maya looked over her shoulder and looked back at me. "I'll talk to her." she said kissing me and walking back into the living but then turned back around facing the kitchen. "hey shark." I smiled and looked up at her. she hasn't called me that nickname in ages. "Yeah." "Watch the twins I'm going to talk to her." Maya said and I walked into the living room sitting down on the couch.
Maya POV:
I walked upstairs and Emma was laying face down into her pillow. I could hear muffled crying and I walked in and rubbing her back. I flipped her over placing my back to the headboard and pulling her into my side. "Baby explain to mama what happen at school today that has you upset." I said. she wiped her face. "Calm down and stop crying and explain to me what happen." she nodded her head and I wait a few moments while she calmed down. she look up at me and I rubbed my thumb across her cheek.
"I was at recess and everyone was playing but me. this group of girls stood and front of me and asked why I wasn't playing. I told them I didn't want to play. it was three of them. one White, one Asian and one Black. the white girl asked me to come play with them. we were on the swings and the white girl asked me what I was. I told her I was black and asian. the black girl said 'you're not black your too and then the asian girl said I was asian because I was too dark. I told them that you were black and daddy was Filipino but they didn't believe me and said I was lying. Then the black girl told me I couldn't play with them because I was a liar. they told the whole class and they laughed and said I was confused."
she started crying and I pulled her closer to me. I wiped the tears in my eyes because I was hurt that my daughter had to go through something like this. When I was here in high school I was one of the few black people here, but when Em and I moved back it was more diverse. "Emily look at me. people don't understand that you can be more than one thing. Their parents didn't explain that to them. they think that you can only be one thing and that's it. Don't listen to them because they don't know anything. as long as you are happy being the person you are everything is fine. I am going to go talk to you teacher tomorrow. Me and mommy and tell her that some kids were bullying you. Its okay baby don't cry. I know what they said hurt but you cant let that bother you okay." she looked up at me with a big smile. "You are Black and Filipino. you're not one or the other you are both. you are perfect just the way you are. From your curly brown hair on the top of your head to the tan skin to the tips of your toes. Don't be ashamed of that." I said kissing her head.
"Thank you mama you made me feel better." I smiled and she kissed my lips. "I'm glad I did now go get you a juice to drink and I will help you with your homework in a few minutes. I have to go talk to mommy." I said. she nodded and I got off the bed. "Come here." I said wrapping her in a big hug picking her up off the bed. she wrapped her legs around my waist and we walked down the steps. I placed her down and she ran to the kitchen like I told her to do.
"What was wrong with her?" Emily asked as I sat down. "These girls in her class basically bullied her because she mixed. they said she was to dark to be asian and to light to be black. then turned around and said she couldn't play with them. they called her liar and made all the other kids laugh at her." Emily's eyes were sticking out of her sockets. "I am going to talk to Mrs. Lane tomorrow." Emily said wiping tears from her eyes. "We both are well I'm going to call Chris because I'm pretty sure he wants to be a part of this."
"Yeah he should be. I cant believe this happen."
"I know."
"I wonder why she didn't tell me?"
"I don't know but at least we know."
"Yeah."
"I'm going to go call Chris and then help her with her homework. you got the Twins right?
"Yeah go." she said leaning over and kissing me. I went upstairs and called Chris he answered on the second ring.
"Hello?"
"Hey Chris."
"Hey Maya what's up."
"Nothing I thought you should know what happen at school today with Emma." I explained the situation and he flipped. he said every curse word in the dictionary pretty much.
"How is she?"
"She better now."
"I'm coming."
"We both know. we both want you there."
"This is why I should be there in her life not Emily."
"If you're trying to say because I'm black and you're Filipino and she would have both. News flash Chris, Emily is Filipino also. and you aren't here because you cant get over the fact that you don't have rights to her."
"Whatever I'm going to try harder I just got this job and I'm super busy."
"Where you work at?"
"I work at this clinic."
"Oh."
"Yeah how is work for you?"
"I'm on maternity leave."
"You had the baby?"
"I had twins."
"they should have been mines. Maya I still want to be with you. You need to stop experimenting and just come back to me."
"If I was experimenting I wouldn't be married to her. I don't want to be with you and my babies were meant to be hers." he went silent and then I heard something crash and then again. "Chris!" I yelled. "What the hell is that?"
"I hate that you had them."
"I don't care what you hate. you can get over it."
"You're … never mind."
"Why do you care so much? Why do you care that I had twins with Emily so much Chris? Huh?"
"I care because I love you. I care because I wanted us to me married with the kids. I wanted that I pictured that. I would have had that if she wouldn't have ever came back into the picture. I was suppose to be where she is now and not in my small ass apartment by my damn self Maya. I was supposed to be with you and my daughter forever. That why I care so much it should be me."
I had tears running down my face. I didn't realize that I hurt him so bad. "I'm sorry Chris that we didn't work out. I'm sorry you don't have what you want. But we wouldn't have last. I was planning on leaving before Emily came into the picture. I was waiting till I graduated and I was moving back home anyways. I'm sorry but you still can be a father to you daughter."
"Yeah I know and I'm going to try more. I have to go. what time are we going to be at the school?"
"Come at 2:45."
"Okay bye."
I hung up the phone and took a deep breath before walking back downstairs to help with homework. Emma and Emily were sitting on the floor playing with the twins. "Emma, homework time." I said and she walked into the kitchen. "Chris is coming tomorrow to the school at 2:45" "Okay that's great I called Lisa and she said that is fine." I nodded and walked back into the kitchen. I don't know whether or not I should tell Emily what Chris said or not.
Emily POV:
I could tell that Maya had been crying when she came downstairs from talking to Chris. I know that she will decided whether she wanted to tell me or not but I don't want to push her. Her relationship with Chris is touchy and I don't want to really think about them ever being together at one point. I changed both of the twins diapers and then feed them. I play with them some more before Maya come back into the living after finishing up helping Emma with her homework. I walked into the kitchen to go cook dinner. i plated everyone food then sat it on the table calling them to sit. we ate to an comfortable silence and I told Emma I was going to give her a bath tonight instead of Maya. I run her bath water and she jumped in. "Emma!" I said as the water splashed up and got everywhere. "I'm sorry." she said sitting down. "Its okay, just don't ever do that again." she nodded her head and I tied her hair up into a bun. she got out of the tub and we went and put her PJ's on.
"Emma why didn't you tell me what happen at school?" I asked. honestly I was curious. wouldn't you be curious as to why too. "I don't know. I just wanted to talk to mama."
"You know you can trust me right?"
"yeah I know."
"okay as long as you know." I said hugging her. "We are going to talk to Mrs. Lane okay."
"Okay. can I go play with the twins before bed please?"
"Yeah." she runs to the door then stops and runs over to her book shelf. she grabs a book and runs back out the door and I follow her.
"Mommy said I can play with the twins before I go to bed." Emma told Maya.
"Okay but be careful." she nodded her head and sat in front on the vibrating chairs. they we awake and just looking at Emma. Maya and I sat back on the couch and watched the interaction. Emma picked the book up she brought and read. "The Three Little Pigs." Maya got up a little and reached behind the couch on the table behind it grabbing the camera. She took a picture of Emma reading to them. She did what Maya and I did when we read the book. when the big bad wolf would try to blow the house down, when we said that 'I will huff and puff and blow your house down.' we would tickle her belly. she did that to them and the let out a little coo. I smiled and they ate the camera up. Maya took over three dozen pictures of that. Emma kissed me good night when Maya took her upstairs to tuck her in. I walked into the kitchen and washed what little dishes were left to be washed.
I sat down on the couch with two glasses of wine. "No fair." Maya said sitting next to me as I took a sip of my wine. "Yours is right there waiting."
"I cant I'm breast feeding."
"You pumped already today right?"
"Yeah I pumped three times today."
"How many bottles did you make?"
"I don't know like twenty I'm not sure."
"Then you can drink this you just want pump for two days." she looked at me worriedly. "Plus we had some more bottle left from yesterday not to forget the formula so drink. you deserve this glass." she shrugged her shoulder and drunk some. when we finished it we turned the TV off each grabbing a twin and heading upstairs for bed. We put the twins in their PJ's and feed them again and they fell asleep.
"Chris said that he still wanted to be with me and that he wished that he was in your place." Maya blurted out as I slipped on my shorts. "HE said what?" I said looking at her. "I hurt him a lot when I left. he said he still loves me and that he's the one that should be married to me not you." I laughed a little but only because I was shocked. "What man or woman for the fact wouldn't want that? I don't blame him but he cant and wont ever have you. your mines forever Mayan and I hope you know that." I placed a sweet kiss on her lips and she pressed her lips harder against mines. I pulled back and pecked her lips three times. "Night Mayan I love you." "Night Shark I love you too." with that we turned off the lights. her head on my shoulder and her arm across my waist is how we fell asleep.
A/N: Okay so I just once again got a random idea in my head at three in the morning and typed it up. the race thing is something I completely understand and I was in 3rd grade also when I had my first racist in counter and it was a group of girls but all mines where black. I'm Black and White and I didn't tell anyone about what happen I just keep it to myself. One because my parents explained to me at a young age that people are going to say things to me and about me because I am different than others but I'm perfect how I am. Next chapter will be Emily, Maya and Chris talking to the teacher and other things. I hoped you enjoyed this idea I randomly came up with.
Thank you for your reviews I appreciate every single one of them. Please leave your ideas, opinions, and anything you want to say. If you have any questions you can either review them and I will answer them in the next chapter or just PM me. I am also working on new chapters for my other stories also and hopefully will have a new chapter for each including this one before my sad return to school Monday. Anyways… Thanks for reading! : P
