"Adam." Becky glared at her husband as he stood in front of her. "The guests are coming over. Can you be a bit civil?"
"How can I be civil knowing you want to take my son away from me on Christmas? Why can't your parents just come up here for the holiday?" Adam questioned her.
This morning Becky had told him of how she was planning to take Joseph with her down to Florida to spend this Christmas with them. Adam was hesitant because he wanted his son to be with him as well.
His in laws knew of all the fighting that had been recently occurring and thought it would be a good idea for their daughter to take her son to their Florida home. "We're supposed to be a family and spend the holidays together. And it's none of you parents business about our fights."
"It's not their business?" Becky scoffed and shook her head, "Says the guy who tells Clare about everything. Next thing you know, you'll be telling Eli and Fiona. And even Leo."
Adam frowned as she continued, "I want this marriage to work. I've been praying every night but it's going no where, Adam! Our fighting hasn't stopped since Joseph had turned a year old. I don't understand what happened between us."
"Then I think it's best if you go to your parents. But you aren't taking Joseph with you." He stated.
They just looked at one another before they heard a cry from upstairs. "I'll get him." Adam announced. He then felt a hand on his chest.
"You stopped being a father months ago. Don't start trying again now." Venom was apparent in Becky's voice. She was obviously irritated and couldn't stand being around Adam.
She went upstairs quickly.
Adam sighed and ran his hands through his hair. The relationship wasn't working out and he knew exactly why.
Leaning against the refrigerator, he closed his eyes. His anger was rising yet again, and not with Becky; but himself. His relationship with Becky had it's fault earlier as well when they were younger.
Becky had always pushed for Adam to get his surgeries done the beginning of college, when he wanted to wait because he wasn't exactly ready. She even wanted Adam to get a surgery done on his lower half when he was against it!
His size didn't matter to him, he was just happy to have the right equipment down below. Adam would never admit it but he just thought Becky still wasn't comfortable with him being trans, and that the surgery would complete him into a male.
Also, she wanted marriage during college but he had pushed till afterwards.
It always seemed that whatever she wanted he was very hesitant.
A knock was heard on the door and he went to answer it. Looking through the peep hole, he sighed and pulled himself together.
"Hello." Adam smiled politely as Leo stood before him, with Fiona besides him. "Come on in." He said as he moved away from the door.
Leo smirked and followed Adam to the kitchen with Fiona by his side, "How's it going?" Leo asked as he looked around for Becky, "and where's your wife?"
Adam cleared his throat and shrugged, "Probably packing." He said emotionlessly. "Are you both hungry? She made some sandwiches."
Fiona noted that he wouldn't look at her but kept his eyes on Leo. They both stood at the same height.
There was evident difference on their appearances. Adam had light brown hair with green-blue eyes and had freckles over his nose, along with a cute smile. On the other hand, Leo had dark hair, to the extent of black, and had brown eyes. His skin was a tan colour and his smile stretched from ear to ear.
"I'll have one." She spoke up. She wasn't necessarily hungry but she wanted him to look at her for once.
Leo walked away to look around the house since he'd never been there before. "Nice place!" He said from the living room.
As he handed Fiona a sandwich, he smiled at her, "Congratulations by the way." Adam told her genuinely. His eyes were on hers as she took the sandwich from him.
"Thanks." Fiona moved a hand up to move his hair to the side, "Nice hair by the way. It's a good look." She smirked and bit her sandwich as he chuckled.
"How have you been?" Adam asked while stuffing his hands into his front pockets. He resisted the urge to move forward and reach for her free hand as he spotted the ring again.
Fiona swallowed and raised an eyebrow at his change in demeanor. "Now you want to know?" She teased, "I've been good. What about you?"
She wanted to ask him if Becky ever learned of him cheating. Or why they seemed to be on the edge. She also just wanted to hug him because his eyes showed so much sadness. "I've been fine." Fiona heard him speak up after a while, but his eyes weren't on hers anymore.
Fiona didn't care. She still felt something for the man in front of her. She stepped forward after setting her sandwich down and wrapped her arms around his middle.
"I'm sorry." She heard him mutter as he wrapped his arms around her neck.
Adam felt bad for how he had treated her the last time he saw her. Fiona also knew what he was apologizing for but all she did was nod and kept her arms around him.
From the living room, Leo narrowed his eyes as he watched the ex secret lovers embrace. And from the stairs, Becky watched her husband give another girl the affection she desired.
