Nightmare
The Meeting and Bad Vibes
10am
I had just dropped kids off at school aroudn 8 am and was headed to my mother’s. She stilled lived in the house that we grew up in, but it would sometimes being back bad memories. As I pulled up in the driveway I saw someone standing in the next door neighbor’s yard that looked like someone I knew.
I stepped out and pulled my shorts down a little and walked to the front door.
‘Damn where do I know that guy from?’ I asked myself as I wanted into my mother’s house.
“Mommy?”
“Yeah in here.”
“Mommy you know you have new….”
I walked into the kitchen as saw something I never thought I would see again.
“Holy shit!!!”
“What’s up baby doll?”
“Brian what the hell?” I asked as I stood there in stocked.
“My girlfriend’s moving next door and I saw you’re mother and thought I would say hi.”
“Get out.”
“What? Why? I thought you would be happy to see me.”
“If you’re here in Huntington then that means that piece of shit best friend of yours is here too.”
“Whoa whoa…..I have nutting to do with whatever happened between you two. Hell none of us know anything anyways because he would never tell us. I was just happy to see you guys. Sorry I’m leaving.” Brian hugged my mom and started to walk to the front door and I stopped him.
“Bri…”
“Yeah?”
“I’m sorry. It’s just been a bad day.”
“This earlier? The day just started baby doll."
"Shut up."
"Ok.... you don't have to bite my head off. Can I have a hug?”
“Yeah.”
Brian walked over to me and picked me up and gave me the biggest hug.
“So how’s life been treating you?”
“Good.” I said as we walked back into the kitchen and there was a knock on the door.
“Can you get that Jayla?”
“Sure mommy.” I walked throw the living room and to the front door. I opened it and sure enough Papa Gates was standing right in front of me.
“Papa Gates!!!!” I yelled and jumped on him almost knocking him down.
“Oh my goodness look at you. You still just as beautiful as the day I remembered.” We walked in and talked for a long time.
“What time is it?”
“2.”
“Shit!”
“Did you forget sumtin?”
“Yeah.”
“What?” Brian Jr. asked as he walked over to the sink and placed the plates in it.
“My kids.” I said as I grabbed my stuff and started to run towards the front door. I had my hand on the doorknob about to turn it when it door opened causing me to scream.
“SHIT!!!!”
“Ooh…mommy said a bad word.” They said at same time.
“Zip it. What are you doing here? How did you get here?”
“Auntie Star.” They said again in unison.
“Stop doing that it’s creepy.” I said as I laughed and kissed them both on the cheek.
“Where is she?”
“The store.”
“Okay really you gonna quit that.” I said as we all walked into the living and they walked into the kitchen.
“You have kids?”
My kids and I looked up and I forgot Brian and Papa Gates where even there.
“Yeah.”
“Holy fuck!”
“Brian watch your mouth.” I scolded as I looked at him then back and my kids who were now sitting the table doing their homework.
“Jayla?!?”
“Brian…just calm down and don’t say anything stupid.”
“Mommy that two dollars in the swear jar.”
“Zacky zip it, and here’s 20 bucks cuz mommy might be using a lot of bad words here in a minute.” I said as I handed my son a twenty dollar bill.
“Zacky?”
“Yes.”
“You’re name’s Zacky?”
“Yes. Zachary James Baker Jr. and that’s my sister Zoë Jaden Baker.” Zacky said as he looked at Brian.
“Mommy I know him.”
“Who?”
“Him?” Zoë pointed to Brian.
“Where do you know him from?”
“TV….he was on TV with daddy.”
After she answered my question all hell broke loose.
“Jayla Zack’s got twins and doesn’t know?”
“Shut your mouth Brian?”
“Hay kids let’s go get some ice cream.”
“No Nanny that man’s yelling at my mom.” Zacky said as he got up and walked over to me looking at Brian with a glare that could only a Baker could give.
“Dude he look just like Zack right now.”
“Zacky mommy’s fine just stay in here with Nanny.”
“No mommy.”
“Zachary James don’t you no me. You do as I say.”
“Okay….you touch my mom and I’ll kick you so hard in the nuts you’ll never have kids.”
“ZACHARY JAMES BAKER JR!” My mother and I yelled at the same time.
“Brian outside NOW!” We walked outside and to the side gate and to the front of the house.
“Twins? You had fucking twins and didn’t tell him?”
“Brian do you even know what happened?”
“I told you I didn’t, but that still doesn’t give you the right to not tell Zack he’s got two clones running around Huntington.” Brian almost yelled.
“You listen to me dammit. Keep your fucking voice down my children still can hear you.”
“I’m telling him!” Brian said as he started to walked away and to the house where Zacky’s family use to live.
“Brian don’t you dare.”
“Fuck that Jay he has a right to know.”
“Brian I swear to God!” I yelled as Brian took off in a dead sprit next door.
As I ran after him he ducked around the back of the house and ran in.
“BRIAN!!!!”
I ran after him and into the house and ran right into someone. I fell to the floor and looked up to see Jimmy.
“Damn Jayla where’s the fire.”
“Move fucker.” I said as I got up and ran after Brian who ran back outside and was now talking to who I guess was Zacky. I ran outside and fast as I could and tackled Brian to the ground.
“Shut your fucking mouth Haner.” I yelled as I put my hand over his mouth.
He bite me and pushed me off.
“Fuck Brian!” I cried out and laid on the ground holding my hand.
“What the fuck is going on?” Zacky asked as he looked at me and then at Brian.
“She needs to tell you something and if she doesn’t I will.” Brian as him looked down at me. Just as he was about to help me up my kids came out and saw me on the ground and Brian standing over me. My son ran over and kicked Brian square in the balls.
“FUCK!!!” All the guys where now watching what was going on and started to laugh as my son kick Brian.
“Zachary James.” I scolded as I stood up and looked at me hand.
“What?”
They both looked at me and then each other.
“Who are you?” My son asked as he looked at Zack and then me.
“Daddy?”
Zacky Sr. looked at my daughter who was now standing in front of him staring at him with same expression my son had.
“No kid I’m not your dad.”
“Yes you are. My mommy said your our daddy.”
“I don't even know you mother.” Zack said still looking at my children as Zacky Jr. walked over to me and his sister.
“I’m their mother Zack.” I said as he looked at me and then took off his shades.
“Holy shit!”
“Mommy he said…”
“I know Zoë, and can you not cuss around my children?”
“Jay….Jayla?”
“Yeah Zack it me.” I said as I looked down at my children and back at him.
“Daddy?”
“Don’t call him daddy Zoë.” Zacky said as he looked at his father with a hateful look.
“Are they really mine?” Zacky asked with a confused look on his face.
“Yes.”
“DUDE WE LOOK JUST LIKE YOU!!!” My son yelled at him.
“Zacky don’t.” I said as I looked down at my son.
“Okay little man calm down.” Zack said as he tried to touch my son shoulder.
“Don’t touch me, my sister or my mommy. You stay away from us.”
“Whoa kid….”
“Daddy?”
“No Zoë don’t call him daddy…..DADDY’S DON’T LEAVE MOMMY’S AND THEIR KIDS!!! DADDY’S STAY SO THEIR KIDS AND THE MOM DON’T CRY EVERYNITE!!! WHERE WERE YOU WHEN MY MOMMY WOULD HAVE NIGHTMARE AND CRY?!? HUH!?! YOU AIN’T A REAL DADDY!!! I HATE YOU!!!! YOU STAY AWAY FROM MY FAMILY!!!!” Zacky was yelled and crying once he got finished, but still stay close to me.
“I’m sorry… come here.”
Zoë started to move and Zacky Jr. stopped her.
“NO Zoë you stay here.” Zoë stopped and did as her big brother said.
“Kid….”
“I’m not you damn kid.”
“Zachary watch your mouth.”
“Here mom here a 20.” My son said as he handed the $20 dollars back and grabbed Zoë’s hand and walked back over to my mother who took them in the house.
“Sorry about that Bri?”
“Damn is that kid in soccer?”
“No he like’s baseball why?”
“He should be.” Brian said as he got up and looked at my hand.
“So are you gonna put that money in the swear jar?” Brian asked as he started to laugh.
“Shut up and yes my kid’s a smart ass. Bye guys.” I started to walk off by someone grabbed me.
“They’re really mine?”
“Are you serious? Zacky they look just like you, and ZJ acts just like you.” I said as I looked at him.
“Holy shit!” Zack sid as he ran his hand over his face and looked at he as if he was a deer in headlights.
“Yeah you said that already.”
“Why?”
“Why what?”
“Why didn’t you tell me I have kids?”
“Because when I told you’re mother she said you would never believe me, because of what you think you saw. But she knows and she sees them all the time so they knew her, just not you…. But if you want a DNA test I won’t stop you. I don’t want your money so you don’t have to worry about me taking you to court.”
“How old are they?”
“Seven. They’ll be eight on July 7.”
“Brian’s birthday.”
“Yep. I gonna go I need to check on ZJ.”
“Wait what do you mean what I think I saw?”
“That night you walked in…I wasn’t having sex with Chris.”
“I know what I saw Jayla. Chris was on top of you and you guys where having sex.”
“No…. Chris was on top of me but we weren’t having sex.”
“Then what was it? The only other thing it could have been was rap…. Wait did he rape you?” Zacky asked with fear in his eyes.
“Later Zack.”
“Jayla did he rape you? In front of me?”
“Yes.”
