So, right where we left off……
"So who's the father?" Sean repeated his question.
"You are," my mom said quietly. Was I thinking that my dad was cute?
"What did you say!" Sean hollered.
"Yeah, what did you say?" I echoed, this was strange. Not the way I pictured meeting my dad at all.
"I said that—," mom started. I don't think she understood that we heard what she said.
"I know what you said!" Sean interrupted. "You said that I have two 14 or 15 year old daughters and you didn't even bother to tell me! May I ask why!"
"Well, you know, I thought that maybe you would want to graduate, or that maybe you might want to keep your girlfriend!" mom screamed back. "I had just turned 16, I was in the 10th grade, I didn't get to graduate!"
"You only didn't get to graduate because you ran away like a coward!" Sean yelled. "You didn't care if I graduated, you didn't care if Ella stayed with me! Hell, if you cared about that, you wouldn't have helped me cheat on her would you? You just didn't want to face me! You didn't want to have to come to me and say 'Sean I'm pregnant'! You didn't want to face the stares at school! You were scared!"
"How do you know what I wanted?" mom asked, she had tears in her eyes now. Did she love Sean? "I wanted a family! I wanted you to love me! But you could never love me could you? You loved Ella! I was just on the side, so you could come to me when she had to work! Sure, when I found out the test was positive I had a brief fantasy of us becoming a family! I would be in the kitchen making dinner, and you'd come in and kiss me, then play with the baby until I finished dinner. But it was nothing but a damn fantasy! It wasn't real!" Tears were falling freely down mom's face by the time she had finished her speech. Everyone was frozen to the spot watching the two.
"Were you ever going to tell me?" Sean asked.
"I thought about it," mom replied. "I thought about it everyday of my life. I was even going to come down a few years ago, but mom said you were getting married. What was I supposed to do? Ruin your wedding? How is your wife by the way?" I couldn't believe this, Jay was married? Who would marry him?
"She's fine," Sean said. "She's not as good in bed as you, though." Snake made a movement like he was going to run over and strangle Sean, but Spike stopped him when mom stared speaking again. I wanted to strangle Sean as well. He was such an idiot!
"Yeah, well you'd better get used to her because I'm never sleeping with you again," mom answered. I couldn't believe she had slept with him in the first place! He seemed so stupid. Here he was, married, and saying that his wife wasn't in good in bed as my mom? Ewe, bad mental images.
It was silent in the house for five whole minutes, then I spoke, like I said, I don't like silence. "So do you have any kids?" I asked.
"Two," he answered, not taking his eyes off my mom, "a three year old girl, named Lauren, and a 6 month old boy named Michael."
"So, who did you marry?" my mom asked, with a pained expression.
"Paige Michael chuck," Sean answered.
