"Look I know you don't want to see me right now but it's important", Ashley insisted holding a vanilla envelope.
"Like my marriage that's now in flames because you gave me the wrong test results", she shot back.
Ashley pushed aside Melanie and entered the house. "That's what I came here to tell you…the first test was right", Ash informed her.
Melanie stood there speechless. "Care to repeat that", she stated confused.
"Some things weren't adding up so I took it to a third party...turns out someone tampered with the test results."
"Why would they do that", asked Melanie plopping down on the couch in shock.
"Why did you want to find out if he was or not", Ash countered back.
Melanie nodded clutching onto a pillow. This was a lot to absorb.
"I already secured the paper work and those in the envelope are copies and I'm trying to figure out who tampered with it. My third source is currently handling the situation", she winked.
"Wait, who's the source" Mel asked.
Ashley smiled. "It's better that they remain anonymous".
"Boo you home…oh hey um", Derwin asked as he opened the front door and walked into the living room. Melanie looked pale. "Is everything alright", he asked. The room was very tensed.
Ashley stood up and shook his hand. "I'm Ashley and I was just leaving. Melanie whatever you do with that information is up to you", she told Mel and let herself out.
"So mind telling me what I just walked in on", he asked sitting next to Melanie.
Melanie froze. How was she supposed to just break his heart again? Her mind was spinning so she played coy. "How was court", she countered waiting on him to lie.
He scratched his head. "Man it was crazy. I'm so sick of this mess; my lawyer is having a field day with all the paper he getting from me."
"Aw baby, I'm so sorry", she said rubbing his arm reassuringly. She then reached for her laptop and cuddled up to him. "Let's watch a movie", she gushed.
She pressed the play button and Derwin's blood ran cold. There on the screen was him and Jayne in the pool with DJ. "That's the best court I've ever seen", Mel stated before grabbing the envelope and stomping up the stairs.
"Brit-Brat dinner's ready", Jason shouted. He ordered pizza and was trying to cheer her up so he spent 2 dollars more on crazy bread. As for a tip he wrote the man an autograph and told the delivery man to sell it on eBay.
"When is mom coming back", she asked her father.
Jason looked at her sadly. "Well you're mom needs help but there is no time limit to that sweetie. She will come back when she's ready. But she loves you", he told her hugging her sweetly.
"I just feel like if you two wouldn't have gotten a divorce…then she'll still be here", she shot at him.
"Yea and you wouldn't be dressing like that", he shot back. "But no seriously sometimes life just happens", he sighed. "Now let's eat…I even got crazy bread."
Tasha stood waiting for Rick Foxx to show. If she was being truthful then she would have admitted that a part of her would always have feelings for him. So when he texted her talking about let's meet up. She was thrilled and jumped at the opportunity. No as minutes flew by she was disappointed but she stayed trying to keep hope alive. It finally hit the two hour mark when she was about to admit defeat when Daunte came and sat down. Her eyes widened, he wasn't suppose to know she was here.
He gave her the cell phone she left behind. "Rick Foxx called, he's not coming", Daunte informed her.
Melanie sat in bed crying for the oomph time. She was so tired of this. She heard a knock on the door. "Go away Derwin", she screamed.
The door opened anyway and he came and laid beside her. "I'm so sorry baby", he cried. "I didn't mean for it to happen".
Mel turned to face him. "No you didn't mean to get caught", she countered.
"Well there's that and I know I love you…and I know you still love me even though you're mad at me", he teased trying to make her smile.
"I can't do this right now", she said softly. She tore herself away from his embrace and got off the bed. She swayed a little bit becoming extremely lightheaded.
Derwin jumped up to help support her up. "Whoa Boo are you okay…you're going to a doctor", he stated firmly.
"No, I'm fine. I'm a doctors I know what's wrong with me", she fired back.
He waited. "Well are you going to tell me because I'm your damn husband. I would like to be informed if and when there was something wrong with my own damn wife", he hollered. He was pissed that Melanie didn't think he should know what was wrong with her. She's been acting funny this entire week and he still had nightmares about finding out cold near the toilet.
Mel's eyes got big. "Oh now you're my husband…now you care about the legacy…you've been nothing but deceitful", she shouted. Then she thought about it. "Did you sleep with her", she asked eerily calm.
"Did I what", he asked it felt like some déjà vu.
"You heard me Derwin Davis…did you sleep with her", she screamed.
"No Mel, I would never put you through that again", he told her honestly.
She looked up into those deep brown eyes of his and buried her head in his chest. "I'm tired of this. I miss us…the way it used to be before the game started playing us. I just really miss you", she cried.
"Boo…I'm right here…me and you baby…right here", he told her.
Tasha and Melanie decided to meet up for drinks a few days later. "Girl I still can't believe you and Daunte broke up", Melanie cried. "You should have told me before I wanted to throw him a party".
"Well I didn't want to interrupt your perfect life with my ghetto drama".
"Perfect…Derwin's playing house and remember the DNA test…well yea they been tampered…turns out Derwin Jr…is not Derwin's baby", Mel confessed.
"OMG…get the hell out of here", Tasha gasped.
"See where both screwed up".
"Did you tell Derwin", Tasha asked.
Melanie shook her head. "I don't know how…but today is about you. If Kelly was here how would she make you feel better", Mel asked.
Tasha looked at her like she was crazy before she yelled drinks! "Bartender give me something brown…make that two shots of whiskey and keep them coming", she yelled excited.
Melanie panicked. "Um I'll just have water", she informed the man.
"Water…the hell you will…we're supposed to be drinking…it'll make you feel better", Tasha told Mel.
Melanie looked extremely uncomfortable and shifted in her seat. "I can 't have alcohol Tasha…I'm pregnant", Mel announced and felt a million times better now that it was out in the open...almost.
"Damn Med school they didn't teach you to wrap it up", Tasha joked.
"Tasha", Melanie hissed.
Tasha waved it off. "No girl look. I'm only kidding having a child is a great thing…it's a blessing plus you have that handsome football player of yours that adore you. I'm happy for you", Tasha congratulated her.
"Thanks but can you not mention it to Derwin, with all this going on I haven't told him yet", Mel informed her sipping on her water.
"You're like my own personal Soap network…now you go home and tell that hubby of yours that you got the real DJ in your tummy".
Melanie looked apprehensive. "Go on girl. I'm fine", Tasha smiled.
Melanie drove home giddy. Tasha was right. It wasn't like she and Derwin wasn't trying to get pregnant. He would be geeked especially when she tells him DJ isn't his.
She came home to bags at the door. She frowned confused before spotting him on the couch. "Honey are we going on a trip…a surprise trip", she asked giddily.
He looked at her with tears in his eyes and threw the vanilla envelope at her. "I thought you stopped with this Mel. Is this some game…DJ's mine…or no he's not…oh yes he is", Derwin mocked yelled at her.
Mel held her stomach protectively. "Derwin I was going to tell you somebody tampered with the test results the second time. I just found out yesterday…I was going to tell you", she pleaded.
Derwin scoffed. "I just don't know what to believe right now", he whispered.
"Look if you don't believe me take him to get a DNA test…discreetly because we don't know who faked the test".
"Mel that's my son…Jayne had her own test done and was ready to take me to court…I can't go through this anymore…your sick Mel", he screamed.
Melanie yelled right back at him not missing a beat. "I'm sick…how am I sick Derwin…of course Jayne's going to have positive DNA results….She's in love with you…she wants you with her 24/7 and would stop at nothing to do it."
"No you're the one mad because you want to be the center of attention. You've never liked DJ"!
Melanie shook her head sadly. "I love DJ…he's a great kid. He's just not yours", Mel cried.
Derwin had enough. "Yo Mel get out…I'm tired of having to pick between my son and you because you're so jealous and bitter. I don't need this right now'.
"You're not kicking me out. I own half of everything in this house remember. You may kick me out of half but I'm staying under this damn roof", she shouted.
He nodded. "I had a feeling you'd say that. I'm out", he turned and grabbed the big black suitcase and started towards the door.
"Derwin don't do this", Mel pleaded. "What about the legacy".
He just looked at her and walked out.
