Never in all my life had I witness the sheer destruction of a family. But, I think Kayla has done it, her abrasive nature just might cost her, the family she worked so hard to have.
But Rhea came to my door, wet, angry, and cold. She hadn't eaten, nor had she slept in days. Her son, Peter he had sleep, food, he was warm and calm.
I took her in, as I have many children. She told me how her mother, blew up at her calling her son a thing, a stray, something not of the Black Clan. How her mother repeatedly hurt her through out the whole argument.
I came to Barbara Gordon, a few days after my mother and I argued. I'm pretty sure my Mother is in her bed crying, she can try to dismiss that she shunned her daughter. But she can't her conscience won't allow her to.
PJ is fine of course I took care of him, but not myself. Barbara took me in, like she has many other children. I told her about the argument, I cried again after all this, and my mother finally disowned me, and of course me the black sheep of the family. I always have to screw up some how; I have to be the stubborn arrogant one.
Sitting at my home alone, my daughter gone from my life forever, my sons haven't called. Paul was supposed to come, but he never showed up. I am a woman without a family.
My phone rings, I wonder if I should answer it, I better answer it other wise it will annoy me. "Kayla" I answer "Mom" John says, he is on his cell, I know it, that boy never ever calls me from his home.
"Hi John" I greet, trying to sound as cheerful as possible.
"Cut the crap, Mom get off your pride, you disowned Paul when he told you he was gay, it took you two years before you even took him back. How long will it be this time? Three? Four? Never? Mom, I can't believe you did it again, every time one of us wants to be happy you have to ruin it with your disapproval, or abrasive dismissal, you some how make it all about you!" John is yelling at me, I deserve it I guess but I don't have to take it.
"John, shut it, I don't ruin your happiness, you ruin it on your own terms, and I will not allow a stray in this family. It wasn't how I was brought up, and it wasn't how you were brought up, we don't take in strays. DNA will prove that boy doesn't belong in this family," I return, my anger coming back
"No Mom, you stop, you can make new traditions screw what Grandpa told you! No, I wasn't raised that way; I was raised to do the right thing all the time, even if no one sees it. I was raised with honesty, Integrity, and Loyalty" John reacts, He is trying to pull me over it won't work I won't get off my ground
"John I'm sorry, but I don't take in strays, you are either born or married into the family, and I will not make new traditions. Nor will I go back on my word, and dear I'm sorry I just WON'T!" I yell, I don't know what or whom he is trying to prove wrong.
"Well you know what Mom, Paul is with me, and I'm with Rhea. As of now you don't have any children!" He yells slamming his phone as he disconnects.
"Fine, then I have no children!" I cry throwing the phone to the wall it shatters on impact like my heart at this moment. Crying hysterically, I can't control my emotions, everything is a mess.
John called me after he talked with Mom it is official she has now lost her children. I think her stubbornness and pride are to blame. I sit now, in Barbara Gordon's home, with my son. I miss my mother, but she has hurt me too much, and I've had enough of her obstinate, abrasive self. I know my brothers have too.
I look at myself in the mirror wondering who I am now. If I am no longer Kayla Renee Black's only daughter, then who am I? Who do I belong to, whom will I go to now if I am sad, hurt, angry or lonely?
I think maybe we were to rash in our decision, and that we hurt ourselves. Perhaps Barbara wouldn't mind three more children. I don't know, and I hope this doesn't last long.
I hope it doesn't last long, not that I don't mind Rhea Leann being here, but this has gone far enough, I don't know what is up with Kayla and her children, but she knows better than to piss one of off, or hurt one of them. They band together like little wild fires.
Rhea keeps looking in the mirror looking at her hands, I see so much of her mother in her, that it scares me. I think it scares Rhea too; she can't get away from her mother, well not with those looks at least. I'm going to try to fix this, if not then its hopeless.
Calling Kayla I hope she didn't break her phone; okay I'm right the woman did break her phone. Lets try her cell phone shall we?
"Black" she answers her voice scratchy, and tone sadden. "Its me Barbara, what's wrong honey?" I ask, as if I have no clue. "I have no children" she answers, surprise of the fucking century. "Kayla dear, yes you do you have three beautiful children" I reply, yeah beautiful, stubborn, prideful, arrogant, and from time to time abrasive just like their mother.
"No I don't" she replies firmly as if she is trying to convince herself. "Is this because of Peter?" I ask, and yes of course although I think it's deeper than that.
"If you mean that stray that is in no way related to me, and DNA can prove that" she responds obstinate as ever. "Sweetie, Peter isn't a stray, he needs someone to love him, and he needs someone to love in return. Rhea just happens to be that someone" I tell her.
"Well he isn't a part of my family" I tell Barbara; he isn't no matter how many times someone says he is. "Damn you Kayla, it's always because of your constant disapproval." Barbara says her tone frustrated
"My constant disapproval? How dare you?" I say in all my brashness, "Yes, when you disapproved of John in high school, it drove him to drugs, sex, and crime" she reacts, tossing the past into this. "No it wasn't" I defend.
"Kayla honey, hate to break it to you but NEWS FLASH! Yes it was, because you weren't supportive of his becoming a lawyer, it took me, my husband, his kids, Dinah, Helena Bard, her husband and sons, and I don't know how many other members of this extensive blended family to get him back on track" Barbara points out.
"So that was once" I try to deter. "Kayla here is another one for you, Paul he isn't gay just because he was hardly around you, he is gay because he is afraid of being hurt, because you hurt him with your disapproval, and everything having to be done your way, his siblings said screw you, because he shouldn't be down on himself, so he found his way through being gay!" Barbara yells, and all the pain is coming back.
"Lets try one more Kayla babe, because we are not done. RHEA! She began to drink and smoke because of you! She wanted Mom's approval she even at one pointed wanted to be like you, but seeing you disapprove of her brothers made her afraid of her, that is why she never came home after senior year, that is why she stayed away!" Barbara yelled, I want to scream so loud right now, I can't take it.
"Stop it, just stop IT!" I yell, crying I can't believe I was the cause of all of this. "I'm sorry Kayla, but you don't deserve these kids!" She yells back "WHAT?" I shout in anger the audacity of her saying those things.
"I worked so hard to get these kids" I react remembering exactly the pain I went through, physically and emotionally. "Kayla honey, until this really hits you, I think its best you not go to work, as of now you are suspended with minimum pay" Barbara orders hanging up.
I look to Barbara she looks to me, and wheels away. My mother got the ass chewing she deserved. After all this time, she and I both will learn what it means to be a family, and don't think my brothers get off easy. They're in for a harsh one too. "Rhea, get in here" Barbara calls, yep its my turn later folks.
