thanks for the reviews!

Disclaimers all day!

Melanie awoke with a start. She had a bad taste in her mouth and immediately ran to the bathroom to puke out her guts. She felt horrible. First the queasiness and now this. She strongly believed it was Kelly's cooking which reminded her to never eat anything Kelly cooked again. She dragged herself back to bed and picked her phone up from the dresser. She turned it on and realized that she had 5 missed calls from Derwin and a voicemail. She got comfortable on the bed and dialed the voicemail.

"You have two new messages. First message, "hey boo, you need to come home so we can talk. I miss you Mel and I need you back…you know you love me too so do us both a favor and come home". She smiled at the message and didn't even bother to check the other one. As soon as she was up to it she was going back to her man.

"Janay what are you doing here", asked Derwin. He just got home only to find his wife not present. Now he had to deal with Jayne who was extremely wonderful during this whole idea but he knew he was walking on egg shells.

"Well DJ wanted to go to the zoo and wanted his daddy to come with us", she gushed. Raising her son from the stroller and giving him to Derwin.

Derwin face immediately brightens at that. He didn't want to miss a minute spending time with his son. "Sure cool that's what's up. Let me text Mel see if she wants to come along", he said.

"Baby Swabber is not allowed anywhere near my son Derwin", she stated hotly.

"Chill Janay, that's my wife. She made a mistake, no harm done", Derwin defended on Mel's behalf.

"That's your son", she countered.

"Are you asking me to choose", he asked.

"Eventually you're going to have too. Now let's go to the zoo and be a nice family looking at the lions and bears okay".

"Okay", he sighed.

Derwin got back to the house really late. After the zoo Jayne wanted to go out to eat and then thought it was a good idea for him to tuck DJ in; which he loved. He just hoped that Mel would be there when he got home. All the lights where off and he didn't see her car in the garage. He mentally prepared himself for heart break. It's been two days since he declared he needed space but he didn't think she'll take him seriously. He went up to the bedroom and sure enough it was empty. He cursed under his breath and pulled his phone out.

He called her cell only to hear it ring on the other side of the room. That explained why she wasn't answering. He walked over to pick it up and tripped over a suitcase. Now that really wasn't there before; which meant one thing. Melanie came home and would be back. He decided it was shower time and went into the bathroom only to have his blood run cold.

"Boo", he asked as he walked cautiously towards her. She was lying on the floor near the toilet. "Boo", he asked again. She wasn't responding. He checked her over making sure she was okay before picking her up.

She snuggled into his arms. "Derwin", she whispered.

"It's gonna be okay Mel, I'm taking you to the hospital", he stated half way down the stairs.

"No too sleepy. Can we just go to bed", she whined.

"I found you passed out near the toilet so hell no", he retorted really concerned for her well being. He looked down at her and realized she was once again asleep. She looked so tired. Without another thought he took her back upstairs and placed her in the bed under the covers and then pulled her back in his arms. He'll get his answers tomorrow but for now this was exactly the way it should be.

The rest of the week went by relatively perfect for them. He figured out how to keep both women happy in his life and that was to keep them booth separated. He told Mel that Janay was making him go to court and he told Jayne that Melanie didn't mind him coming over. He tired to bring up the bathroom incident but she acted like nothing happened. He was worried she was keeping something from him but she said it was food poising and that was the end to that.

"Hey boo", Tasha called as she entered her home. Duante came out in his basketball shorts. "Hey boo", he greeted back.

"How many times do I have to tell you I like you hot and sweaty? Boy you need to stop cleaning up before I can sex you up", she told him.

He just smiled and kissed her leading her into the bed room.

The following week Melanie saw Janay passing in the street and thought it was best to confront and apologize her for swabbing her baby only that said baby mama was making it really hard for her to do. They were in this big restaurant so they didn't want to cause a scene but imagine her surprise when Janay told her that she wasn't putting Derwin through court and he was actually just chilling at the crib with her. Janay best friend even told her it was all recorded on a website if she didn't believe her. Melanie unconsciously put her hand over her stomach trying to keep down the vile that fought to come up at the information.

Melanie had to get the last word, claiming that no matter what shit Janay pulled Derwin came home to her and that she was the only Mrs. Derwin Davis. She saw the hurt in her eyes and Mel smiled at the victory; however small it might have been.

Mel felt numb. She thought her and Derwin had moved on from this but obviously she was wrong. She was preparing a special surprise for him that evening but instead of going home and preparing she stuffed everything in the coat closet and got out her laptop. What she saw was heartbreaking. She saw Janay, Derwin, and DJ at Janay's house. Derwin was grilling in his swimming trunks and his baby mama was clad in a two piece bikini. She whipped her eyes and pressed paused. She had a surprise for him alright.

Soon after she composed herself the doorbell rang. She really hoped it was Kelly or Tasha because she really needed her girls. She got up quickly feeling giddy about having a girl chat even though she really didn't like the subject matter but when she opened the door it was the reason she was in this mess. Well not exactly but Melanie really wanted to blame someone else at the moment. "Hello Ash", she said with so much distain in her mouth it tasted like ash.

Kelly was twisted. Melanie was right. Therefore she was out waiting on Jason. She finally decided it was time to get her life together; a life without Jason. She's been a bad mother to Brittany and a bad influence to her. Kelly cried when Jason left after showing her a picture of their daughter on the internet in a swimsuit like it was okay. It was time for a change; therefore she was giving Jason full custody while she figured out her next step.

"Kelly, whats up. You know we could have talked on the phone", he stated like it was so much work driving around the corner from his place.

"I'm still in love with Jason", she blurted out.

He looked stunned. Out of all the words and sentences she could have told him this was not one he was expecting.

"Kelly", was the only word he could form at the moment.

She held out a hand to stop him. "No, I know and this can't work. You can have Brittany. I've been a terrible role model and I need time alone to figure who I am without you."

Jason brain was still having trouble with this conversation. "You're leaving", he asked hurt laced hiss voice.

Kelly smiled sadly and caressed his face. "Goodbye Jason", she whispered and they both knew she meant it.
