My Baby My Girl

Episode 16

He wouldn’t move, why did he come here, how
did he know where we stay.

Oh God, why did he come here, why are you
letting the devil to come and take the only think
most important in my life..

Why did he come back to town Lord, why did
Sean O’çonner come back to town and why is
he showing up in my face and now my house?
Why the hell was Sean here?

Megan is staring at the door… “what the hell do
you want? Get out! leave now. Please I beg you”’

She says dropping the tray. Everyone turns to
look at her then at the door, some even standing
to peer outside

Tonia looks around… “Erm Megan”’ she began

“Look, I am so sorry Megan and if you give me
a chance I’ll tell you how sorry I am. Look I
messed up I know, I just want to apologize,
please”

“I don’t need your apologizes, it’s a couple of years late for that”

Sean frowns, there is was again, that feeling that
she is saying one thing and meaning another
“What?”’

Tonia coughs “Erm..Megan, guests..are
waiting.”’ Tonia says indicating the curious
stares

“I don’t want him here”
“Look I bought you some flowers and-”
“I don’t care what you brought, I just want you
to leave, leave us alone is that hard for you to
understand?” she snaps

“Mummy, he said he is sorry, he really did get
you white lilies, they are your favourite, please
let Uncle stay please, he is my friend and I don’t
have friends please mummy, I promise to keep
him out of trouble”

Kiki clasps her hands together
“Let the young man stay Megan, he looks
harmless besides whatever he did I am sure he
is sorry”a woman gets up walking towards the
door, touching kiki’s cheeks and smiling at Sean
“’You have no idea what he has done” Megan states,her flashing

“Well, I am sure it’s not so bad… besides to
forgive is divine, it’s not nice to turn away
someone who came bearing gifts and an
apology Megan” The woman continues

“I don’t need it I just want him out of my house and away from my daughter” Megan walks towards the door, holding kiki and trying to tug her in, Tonia moves away but the lady doesn’t

“Come on Meg, there is no harm in him staying,
really, he seems sorry” another lady joins in,
soon half the room, was pleading on his behalf

“You-you all don’t understand” she sounded
hurt

“Talking helps” the first lady says.. “Come in
young man, she won’t bite” She tells Sean, Sean doesn’t move, he is staring at Megan. It was her house, not theirs, so she should have the final say, not them, he really was sorry.

“Megan… let it be for now” Tonia says
“Please mummy” Kiki says tugging her hand
It felt as though everyone ganged up against her,
if she kept at it, it would ruin the mood of
everyone else, despite her being ruined. She
blinks back tears threatening to fall… “Fine
whatever! kiki… go wash your hands and come
have a pie”’

If he has to stay, he wasn’t coming close to her
daughter. She walks away into the kitchen, she
heard kiki squeal in excitement as she storms
back into the kitchen in anger.

---

Megan ignores him throughout, yet it seemed
everyone seemed to like him, especially Kiki, no
matter how much she tried to separate them,
they still found a way to either sit with each
other, or he says something and she laughs at
the corner of the room.

The flower and a bag of items he brought was on
the table, she had ignored it when he gave it to
her, Tonia had taken it, thanking him for being
generous.

They were done with the discussion class and
everyone seemed to be having fun but her, well
how could she, she was in the same room with
the boy turned man who denied fathering her
child after college and four years later his
daughter is seating next to him and he has not
the darnedest idea and all she wanted to do is
use her heel on his head to tell him how angry
she is, for the suffering and the pain she went
through alone but she couldn’t.

ARGH!!

He would never know about kiki, never!.

They were playing “tell the act’’ Megan declined to play and let the others do so, to distract herself and not tempted to fling empty trays at him, she goes to the kitchen telling Tonia to keep her eye out on kiki and Sean and make
sure they aren’t alone.

As she leaves, Sean was pressed “Hey Kiki, do
you happen to know where I can visit the little
boys?” she giggles

“We don’t have little boys here, just little girls”
Kiki giggles

“Oh right, silly me, well can you point it to me?”’

“I’ll show you” she takes his hand and leads him to the toilet and then stands away.. “Mummy says to always flush”

“Mummy is very… precise”
“If you mean correct? Yes”

Sean smiles and gets into the toilet, he comes
out later to head back out to the living room, he
stops when he hears voices, it felt as though
people were arguing, when he gets closer, it is
Megan and the lady who happened to know him.

He almost forgot, he should ask her how she
knew him, or was it just a coincidence?

---

“I don’t care Tonia, i don’t. I can’t have him
here nor close to her, what if by some mere
intuition he finds out about her?’’

“That kiki is his child? He can’t, and the way you are acting is making people ask questions. Look,

I think you should just tell him, he keeps
showing up Meg, it should mean God is giving
you a chance to say it so all wrongs can be
righted”’

“’Never I will ever tell Sean O’Conner that Kiki-“’

“Tell me what?” Sean says pushing the door
open… “what about Kiki? What don’t you want to tell me?” he frowns,

Tonia and Megan turn quickly in shock, Megan
quickly composes herself “it’s not enough that
you report people, now you eavesdrops on their
conversations too?’’ Megan says but her lips
wavers.

Oh God tell me he didn’t hear! She bites her lips
“I am sorry, I was passing from the toilet but
why were you both talking about kiki and me?’’

Tonia stares at Megan, who shakes her head
telling her to be quiet, Tonia is talking… “That
kiki is –“

“A princess!!!’’ Kiki bursts into the room…”
Mummy see,Uncle bought me a tiara and a
bracelet, and I will be a Cinderella” she shows
her mother the items “And a phone…wheeeee!!

I never had those, thank you Uncle” she hugs
Sean’s legs, he pulls her and smiles

“Not, just kiki, but princess Kiki” he says helping her wear the bracelet and puts the tiara on her head

“Give it back Kiki”’ Megan says
“Megan, let the her have a little peace of
happiness please. Look I had no right to meddle
or report and I am sorry, why are you making it
difficult to do that? Why do I have a feeling that
you hate me from long ago and not just now?
What is it?” Sean asks

“Because I do”’
“’Wow! okay why… or tell me what I did that was so bad to have you treat an apologetic man with disdain, I doubt it’s more than the social
services case”’

Tonia and Megan’s eyes rests on Kiki for a
second and then back at him. Tonia looks at
Megan, pleading with her eyes that she telLs
him. Kiki is playing, She is happy with her gifts
“Well?” Sean asks “Are you going to tell me
what all this is about, why do you hate me?”
“Because –“’ Megan began
