323: I am Your Dad.

Happy new Month!💓

When are you planning on telling them? I mean they will want to know about this, right?

I was trying to convince Davids to talk to the children about the situation that we were having. I didn't want to speak about it when she was still in the hospital because she would have been strained to do so. She has to get a month of her rest but she had me get some of her office work and she was working at her desk from home. 

She looked at me and went ahead to look at the computer in front of her. There were a lot of arrows on the computer making it hard for me to know what was going on. Some graphs are up and down and the shit with business is just not for me. I know which clothe matches which one so I can't help her when it comes to business but I can do well when it comes to fashion. She peeled her eyes from the screens and looked at me. One of her hands was still in bandages and was written all over with marker pens because the kids loved to play with it. They all wrote their names there and a lot of notes on them, her legs were okay but she had to exercise walking every day from five in the morning till six. Nimo loved that part because she loves taking her for a walk and they spent time together. 

Zeke and Rose seemed to be tired on this part and loved to go out working on a Saturday. Davids understood and didn't warn to pressure them, though that forced them to have a compulsory run and work out in the evening which they were fine with.

"How will they take the news? They will resent me, Daniella, they will think I left you there to get everything done on your own and you suffered because I couldn't take good care of you. I don't want that to happen, I want to have this good thing going on between you and me, that is what I want. I don't want Zeke or Nimo to tell me that I am a bad father and I didn't take good care of them when they were young."

I know she jas a lot of fear and a lot of questions when it comes to revealing the information to the kids. They are seven years old and they probably won't say anything. Instead, they will be happy to have her as their real father. 

Wait, whom am I kidding? They started asking their father from age five what is going to keep them from getting mad at Davids after she said she is their father. They will question a lot of things in there. 

They both have big mouths and adding Rose to the mic, is a tick-tock boom! And we will be having, a lot of injuries and wounds that will be hard to heal.

Maybe she is right, maybe she is wrong. It's good to give it a try. Anything can happen but at last, the kids will know that they have a father and that will be good for them.

I don't care what they think about you baby, I will be with you, whether they love you or not I will be happy that they know who their true father is. That is going to make them happy. Even if it will be a wound that they have to heal from, they must or I will be having a war of the ears with them.

"When do you think it's the right time to tell them? Today since tomorrow is the end month and they will go to bed grumpy and sad and they won't wake up tomorrow to greet me and I will be in my office missing everyone?"

She loves joking a lot. I am okay if she tells them anytime, as long as they know everything that is okay with me.

Today is okay Davids, today is okay for you to tell them who you are to them. We need to address this issue once and for all.

She nodded and I was happy that she was ready to do that for them. I had to take online classes because I couldn't leave Davids alone. Though she suggested that it would be good if I attend classes physically, I felt more close when I am home and I learn more. It was a fashion and design school. The only difficulty is asking a question that I didn't understand and when Davids looks at me she doesn't have the answer and can't understand any shit about different colors. I have to t rely on Brian he gives me tips because it is the same school he studied in while living in New York.

Dinner was ready and everyone had to dig in. As usual, the kids had to fill us up with the news from school. Who is mad at who and who needs to be talked to?

"Mum, today Nimo was arguing with a grade seven girl over Jade."

Rose started the conversation and all eyes went from me to Davids and landed on Nimo who was eating her food as if nothing happened. Ashley was looking at her with a worried face. She didn't know what she did but Ashely seems to know what was going on.

"Yeah, and she punched her on the face, were you called to school? The girl's parents came and they were angry that Nimo punched their daughter."

Davids looked at Nimo and laughed. I had to raise my brows because I am not teaching my Nimo how to become a wrestler in school, I am teaching them to be responsible and not some wild animals trying to fight to get attention. 

Looking at us, Nimo had a scowl on her face. She was mad as if one of us had angered her. She has to watch her attitude when she opens her mouth. She picked food from the bowl and added it to her plate quietly without talking.

"Nimo, is everything okay? I am happy that you punched her in the face, but fighting for a boy, phew, that was not necessary, you can do better than a boy."

Ashley cleared her tone and I thought she was going to say something. Nothing came out of her mouth. Ashley raised her head again and looked between Davids's and me.

"We were not fighting because of a boy. I hate it when she is trying to throw herself at Jade and threatening to kill herself if Jade leaves her. She is always crying like a baby who needs attention. Amelia is better than her. She wants to be on Jade every time and Jade doesn't need to be held down like that. He needs a lady who will be there for him when he is going to his swimming competition and playing basketball"

I told you, this kid here is something else. She is ready for anything.

Nimo, you can't be punching people every second, you have a punching bag that you haven't punched enough, punch it, not someone. Just a warning is enough.

"I warned her mum, she was now coming towards me, did you know she slapped me on the cheek and I didn't say anything? My simple punch on the face and she is crying to the principal's office like a baby that I pinched her."

Lawd, don't tell me that someone decided to slap my baby on the cheeks and I was not called to the school. Why did they have to call for her parents and not me? I would have added some sense into that girl's face. 

"Jade was there to say it was a misunderstanding okay? She doesn't even know how to throw a slap at someone, she has weak hands."

I wanted to laugh but I couldn't. Nimo knows how to make you feel like you don't need to be worried about anything. She finished and looked at her two brothers who were now eating their meal in silence after reporting her to us. I know Davids is going to shout at the principal fit not calling us.

Dinner was done and we were in our normal sits waiting to hear about the week's normal problems that the kid are allowed to air out.

"I have not been given a new games skit and Jade's short Is not fitting on my waist. I need new socks, new Jordan pairs, and some head scarf, the way the basket players do."

Nimo was the first to air her grievances. She had never said she needs a new textbook for her class or a new pen. She would rather take the ones in her brother's room than ask because they have a new pack which is not been opened yet.

"My shoes are small on me, you guys remember we couldn't get the design I wanted for my feet and you said I can get that after a month because designing them took time. Plus I have my designs ready I was asking if I can talk to uncle Brian about it tomorrow."

       Zeke was next with his. 

Rose is the last. I was waiting to hear one thousand and one issues.

"I need new boxers and I can't find my socks every morning. Even if I place them in their shoes. Plus I need to have my saxophone fixed and be ready for the next singing competition. Zeke you haven't talked about your saxophone, I wouldn't t remain them again. Plus Zeke is using very strong paint on his art, please can he get a painting room? We have some extra rooms in the house, he can convert one of them into a painting room. My head hurts when he starts to use the paint. Plus can I visit Abbrianna this weekend?"

Okay, I was waiting for the pause there. I knew Adriana was on the list. Zeke said he was sorry about the paint and said he will look for a place to put his painting. 

Ashley, do you have anything?

"Was asked if I can go for a party tomorrow then if you guys can come to my medical presentation next week. Plus, damn, people are farting at night, jeez I don't know what we are eating."

Every eye fell on Nimo. 

"What it is normal, I think the school is using a lot of chemicals on the food."

That left everyone laughing. 

I looked at them and I was happy they aired their grievances 

Mirah was next before she bade us goodbye and headed to her boyfriend's house. I bet he is even ready to wait for her.

"Please, close the toilet lid after using the washroom, I have a program on who is supposed to prepare clothes in the laundry every weekend and that is not up for a bargain. Lastly for those who will be washing the utensils over the weekend, please don't leave some soap or the washing detergents open and dirty, it is disgusting. Bye has a nice weekend."

Everyone said bye and she was off.

I was next and I didn't have anything to tell them. Davids was holding my waist waiting to hear my grievances.

"Please, the alarm is there for a reason, as from next week I am not waking anyone. Rose and Zeke, please behave, both of you have laundry baskets and you have different socks so that one is stealing so is from the other. Aunt Mirah irons your uniforms and it's your job to place them according to the days that you are going to school. Wash your boxers with hot water unless you love having fungus and worms in your ass. I am done."

Davids' liked men and smiled. He said for those who want new things will have to wait until she has time. For Nimo she will contact the school, for the saxophone, she contacted Damien to contact someone else to get them. For Zeke's painting, he allocate him the room besides their room which was a bit small and used as a store room. Ashley got a chance to go to the party and assured her we will attend the presentation. 

"My concern is one. I have something that I want to tell you, Zeke and Nimo. You will find it a bit odd, please listen to it, okay?"

She looked at me then at Zeke and Nimo.

               "I am your father."

                        "We know that dad."

               "Your real father, guys come on."

Rose looked at him and laughed.

                       "You are kidding, right?"
