My Baby My Girl

Episode 22

”On the couch don’t be ridiculous. No, that’s my father’s.. i’ve always had it, I just gave him to wear, and I saw him naked last night”‘ she adds closing her eyes, waiting for it Silence!! Then an outburst!!

“‘You what?How? Wait you just said you guys didn’t then…I don’t get! Wait, does he look good as he does with cloths and without it? Wait what am I even saying, you guys have already slept together before,y ou got a kid… silly me” Tonia shakes her head smiling

“No! I was drunk and I don’t remember what he looks like because I didn’t wait to see and it was four years ago and was I younger, now he is all manly has a great body and erm…” she blushes and turns away
“That great of a body right? You’re blushing”

Tonia smiles stuffing bread into her mouth
“Nope not that great and I am not”‘ Megan lies

“‘Yeah, your cheeks turn pink and your hands are shaking, how long has it been since you..
.you know… went down that path?” Tonia winks “Since Kiki”she admits, D–n! Four long years…

wow! she should get into Guinness book of
records for being celibate that long.

“Yeah would explain the way you are looking,
your blush can be seen from mile away” Tonia is laughing,

“For what it’s worth, your baby daddy is hot, it won’t hurt to fantasy a little Megan, I mean… it wouldn’t hurt to erm, want him again”‘

“Get out Tonia!” Megan throws crumbs of bread at Tonia who ducks laughing, they turn hearing kiki squeal and Sean’s laughter

“See, those two are having fun, live a little
Megan, let her have a little joy okay, I bet she
hasn’t been this happy for a while.. let her, you live a little too, don’t worry about what’s about to happen, let it, if you don’t want to tell him,

fine, your decision but let them enjoy the
company that is coming to them naturally, you
never know what God has planed. Let them
Megan, without you or me, they are here
..enjoying themselves..father and daughter
unknown, let them, whatever happens will
happen okay”‘ Tonia says coming to Megan

“I am scared”
”I know, don’t be, for today, let her be happy with a father she never knew”‘

“okay, for today, once he leaves he needs to
stay away”

”Fine” Tonia rolls her eyes, Not if God has a say in it.

They come back to find Sean’s face clean and Kiki and him playing cards..

“Go brush your teeth Kiki”
”Done, Uncle Sean helped me .””

Megan mouth drops open, Tonia looks at her
and whispers

“Daddy duties already,would you take a look at that Meg” she whispers and walking away.

“And he said he would get me a present for my birthday next Saturday, right Uncle?”

“Right Kiki” He nods
“What? Kiki, up, breakfast” Megan snaps
What would she do with this kid?

Sean gets up… its 9am already, he should get
going .. “I should get going-”

“Yes you should” Megan snaps again
Sean looks at her, she is still defensive, fine
“‘Thank you, for your hospitality” he tells her, he already had his cloths over his shoulders, “Nice to meet you again Tonia” He says “and I will have these returned…just in case er… the boyfriend or the husband won’t frown down from heaven”

Tonia looks at her, Megan shakes her head…
they watch him leave with Kiki shouting her
goodbye

“Husband frowning from heaven, really?” Tonia turns to her, Megan shrugs

”I am not responsible for what he thinks Tonia”

turning to kiki ”And you little lady have a lot of explaining to do’

Kiki turns pouting, giving her puppy eyes
“Oh, that cute baby face won’t work”
Kiki makes more baby faces, Tonia laughs
kissing her cheeks ”It works for me” then kiki hugs her mother… kissing her all over her face,

Megan is laughing
“‘And apparently always for me too. Oh, kikina, you have no idea do you’ she kisses her daughter… Kiki sits to eat and Tonia smiles at her
”Let it be”‘
Megan sighs.

“So, I came by your house this morning, you
forgot we were supposed to go balling this
morning, but your in-house told me you didn’t get home last night, where did you sleep and whose tracksuit is that?”

Sean alights from his car, stretching, thankful the swelling had gone down and the pain was barely feel-able..”At Kiki’s” he says “Sorry, I forgot, got
into a tiny accident but I am good”

“At the little monkey’s house, whoa, you slept with her sexy hot mother? The woman I want to make babies with and marry?”

“Not sleep with her, just on her couch and don’t be ridiculous! You want to bang her not make family with her” Sean enters his house with him following

“I would change for her” Zachary tells him.
Sean goes to take a quick shower and he is
dressed ”I need to go do something real quick, can I have a rain-check?”‘

“Er, what you going to do”
“Their car is still at the mall, need to go pick it
up, I told her I would do that”

“Oh!” Zachary follows him outside “”Do you like this chick, I mean…?”

Sean frowns scoffing “”Of course not. Why would you think that?”‘

“‘No reason, just curious, you are all over the place that is why”‘

”I took her home, her car is still there, just
getting the car that’s all”

“Okay”
Sean turns away looking at the road, he is
frowning.

He doesn’t like her. She has a great kid and it
was surprising how he suddenly loved playing
with her. There was something about the kid
that was so awfully familiar but, does he like her mother?

No he doesn’t. He would drop the car, go home,
for Saturday, he would get Kiki something nice
on her birthday and maybe get back to his life.
He got some missed calls from his girlfriend and
he didn’t feel like replying, her messages came
too.. and half of them were asking about the new
car, more money and about throwing her a party for her new clothing line. He sighs, he really didn’t feel like talking to her.

---

Sean gets the car tolled to the mechanic, fixes it and then gets it to her house… Zachary was at the door beside him when he rang the bell..
Megan opens to find them, she frowns… Kiki
puts her head out..

Sean wishes she could stop frowning every time she sees him, it bothers him… A LOT!

“Your car, Mechanic says it’s good and ready”

Sean says..

”Oh wow, nice and you forgot all about your car”

Tonia comes out, nudging Megan out of the
way..

Megan stares at him, at her car and then back at him, folding her hands “Thank you” it comes out stiffly

“You are welcome” he sees her “Hi Kiki”
“Hi Uncle Sean” she pops her head out, her
smile shows

“Hi beautiful” Zachary is staring at Megan who rolls her eye “Hello Little Monst-erm baby” Kiki looks at him funny

“It’s Kikina, I am not a baby”‘
“And I am a person, I am Tonia and you are?”

“Oh, Zachary Spiff, Sean’s best friend since the invention of best friends”

“Great!”
Now they are all staring awkwardly at each
other.

“I wonder, do you all want to go to the beach, it’s a great day for it, there is a gig going on, I wonder, would you all like to go, it’s a few minutes away” Sean blurts out without thinking.

”Beach, you didn’t mention anything like that to me” Zachary turns to Sean

“No!!” Megan answers
“Beach yes!!” Tonia and Kiki exclaims…
“Great! so, we can go in my car, big enough for everyone.. ” Sean continues

“No we are not”-”
“Excuse us for a minute” Tonia tells them
turning Megan to face her as Kiki jumps
excitedly running into the house “Going to get
my Beach toys and swimsuit… Yay!!”’she
screams

“We are not going-” Megan began
“Let it be Megan, live for today, today pretend
like that didn’t happen years ago, today, let it be.

We are going, live a goddamn little dammit!.
You have been so stuck up for so long you
forget to have fun and live, WE ARE GOING!!”
”NO WE AREN’T!!’

---

They left an hour later, Tonia had threatened to tell Sean about Kiki if she didn’t agree. It was a hand-turner, she gave in. Tonia wins.

Two hours in the beach and kiki is building
castles and burying Sean in it, Megan is
avoiding Zachary’s persistent toasting and Tonia is enjoying the water she soaked herself in.

Three hours later, and Megan is still the only
one not having fun.

“Come play with us mum”
Megan shakes her head, seated, fighting the will to take her daughter and run but she can’t, Kiki seemed so happy and Sean relaxed.

“Come play?”‘
“‘No baby, mummy is okay here”‘ she replies “I am playing with the sand here, we are good”‘
she pats the beachsand
Sean who had been dug out of the castle-grave,

sand in his hair is staring at Kiki whose face
smile has suddenly turned upside down with her eyes glistening “You want me to get mummy to play?” he bends whispering to Kiki who nods

“Okay, I will”
Zachary had gone off to get another round of
drinks for everyone and juice for kiki, he comes back to seat with Megan who wouldn’t give him
the time of the day, he sighs in defeat giving up.

If she likes him, he would have scored by now.
She had stood up and he too, it seemed as
though she was looking for an escape. Zachary sighs, no hope for him here.
Sean walks up to them “Sup man?”‘
Zachary shrugs “Oh nothing!”

“Hmm, hey Megan?” he eyes her mischievously
She ignores him. He was quick.

Before she knows it, with one quick reflex, Sean bends grabbing her hands and lifts her from the leg, flinging her over his shoulders as she screams and thrashes over the place with her hands hitting him, Sean runs with her into the water… and dumps her inside.

Kiki as clapping and laughing, joined by Tonia.
Megan is thrown deep, she swims out and
cleans her eyes to see Sean laughing and giving thumbs up to Kiki who is clapping. She is mad,

in her anger she gets to him and slaps him hard
across his face.

Sean holds his face,and stares at her “Dammit Megan, stop slapping me, two slaps since knowing you”‘

“Í would if you do it again”‘

Sean grabs her head and pushes her into the
water. He hears Kiki laughing and Tonia and
Zachary gasps.

Megan comes out of the water and this time
screaming she slaps him again..

”Dammit it!!” he exclaims
“‘Stop it or i’ll slap you again”

He does it again, this time two slaps reaches his face in quick successions

“STOP HITTING ME!! “‘
“‘Unless what, unless what?” she says, he
reaches for her head to push her down..
This time she slaps him before he succeeds, He grabs her hands, she is struggling..”Stop it Megan”

“‘No! let go of me!!”
”No!!”

“Let go off me, I will scream”
“Go ahead!”

Megan opens her mouth and as her scream
starts, without thinking he pulls her to himself
and crushes her lips with his lips with a kiss.
Megan freezes, stiffens then suddenly melted in his arms … as she kisses him back.

“Mummy?”
