Charles been running around the park for the past few hours. Glinda stood to the side to make sure the food is being took care of. Martha, Nancy, and Donna had the presents set up on a big table.

Charles look up and saw Dee and her family smiling and coming his way. She hugged him as he held her close, "Hey baby I missed you after everything blows over I will definitely take you out somewhere nice." Dee smiled at him," Ok."

Camila cleared her throat Charles look over at her," And how's the beautiful Camila." She hugged him and gave him the presents, "I'm doing fine and how is Jr." "He is doing good, you see him over there tryna play football." Camila and Kevin laughed as they look at Jr. struggling playing.

"Charles you need to be teaching him how to play football now." Charles laugh because he already had that planned out. Dee jumped on Charles back and he carried her to a bench. She got down and he pulled her in his lap. "Diamond Renae Long, did you know that I really like you and I hope we could be together forever."

Dee smiled but didn't know what to say all she could think about was Chuck. "I really like you too..... Charles." He smiled at her and kissed her hand. "I'm glad I have you all to myself." Dee felt her heart stop when he said that.

She almost cried she didn't want to say anything but she didn't want to loose him. "Charles I'm-" She was cut off by his phone ringing.

Charles look at it and answered it,"Yo Dot where yo ass at man......Oh well ok.....aight ima get everybody ready." He help Dee up out his lap," Jr on his way." He ran to the center of the crowd and got everybody attention.

"Ok everyone my little trooper is coming any second, and when he get here we all gon yell happy birthday." Everyone nodded coming together. Soon everyone spotted Dot coming in he held his thumbs up and out ran Jr and his friends. "Happy Birthday Charles!!"

Jr. started laughing and jumping with his friends, "Dad I'm Five!!" He held his hand up screaming everyone smiled as he ran and hug his dad and mom. Glinda had tears in her eyes, "Boy you getting big." Jr nodded as he ran to his grandma and aunts.

"Yo, that boy a handful and his rowdy ass friends. Where my money." Dot had his hand out waiting on his money. Charles started laughing smacking Dot hand out the way he as walk over to his family. Dot waved him off.

Michael took a deep breathe preparing his self for all the bullshit he was finna go into. He grab his son presents and got out the car. He slowly walk towards the entrance of the park. He walk in and saw everyone playing, talking, and chilling. He spotted Jr. with his friends, but regretted when he turn and saw Charles.

They stared at each other for awhile before Jr. came running to him. "Granddad." Michael got a little pissed but he understood that he couldn't call him dad in front of everyone. "Wassup Jr." He pick him up and held him tight.

"Granddad I'm five." Michael smiled at him. He loved to see Jr. so happy and healthy. He the only one that really love him, but he know if Jr was older he would hate him just like everyone else. "I know, Jr you becoming a big boy is you tryna catch up with your old man." Jr nodded his head making both of them laugh.

"I see you made it." Michael look up to Glinda and gave her a half smile. "Yea my big boy getting big." Glinda cringed at the sound of that but she left it alone. "Yea he is."

Jr pulled them both to a bench and ask for one of his presents. "OK get that long one," Michael pointed at it for Jr to see. Jr grab it and started ripping the paper off. Once he did he pulled the top off revealing The Star Wars NERF Episode VII First Order Stormtrooper Deluxe Blaster. "WOW!! You actually got it for me granddad." Michael smiled glad to see his son smile again because of him.

Jr soon pulled out a football and basketball. "Granddad I cant play." "I know that's why when you come see me we gon practice." Jr was smiling so hard his face hurt, "Yay you and dad can teach me."

It then got quiet as Michael stared in his little boy eyes. He then look up to Glinda and she turned her face away. "Granddad I got to go." He hug Michael and took off towards his little friends. Michael soon became angry. "I don't know how long we gon keep this shit up."

Glinda  didn't say nothing she soon walk off leaving him with his head in his hands. Michael heart and mind was not on the same page, and he hated that. "I see you finally came." Michael thinking came to a halt as his eyes watered a little.

He look up to the eyes of the woman he loved. Martha stood there with a nice warm smile. Her hair was blowing in the wind. She had on a  yellow stripe tank top and some peach capris. She had her reading glasses on so he knew she was probably just reading. She stuck her hand out to shake his hand.

Michael look down at her hand and back up with a smirk, "No hug I see." Martha chuckled a little and rub her hands together before she finally stretch her arms to hug him. Michael smiled as he pulled her in a warm embrace. He smelled her perfume and he felt his heart skip a beat.

They stood their hugging for what seem like forever until they heard someone speak. "I see you guys are ok." They look up to Camila smiling at them, she then turned her attention to Michael, "Its been long Michael how you been."

Martha pulled away from Michael and took two steps back giving each other space. Michael then felt incomplete, and he was mad that he couldn't hold her longer. "Um I'm hanging in there how you been Mrs. Long." She flash him a smiled holding up her hand showing her wedding ring, "We still hanging in there."

They all got quiet until Martha phone ring. She excused her self and left them standing there. Camila shook her head, "Don't know why you wanna be here, but don't think I'm letting her fall in love with you and be hurt again." Michael didn't say nothing to her.

Camila turned to walk away but couldn't when he grab her arm forcing her back towards him. "I still love her never stop and never will. And another thing I know you don't want her to fall in love with me all over again because the thing is she never stop." "Michael why are you here? Why you wanna play with her head and every one else's."

"I've been trying to get back on good terms for the past three years. I just want peace-" "Oh so you think they can just over look what happen. Michael that was embarrassing and hurtful to Charles." Camila look at him shaking her head and walk off.

Michael sighed and rub his neck. He look back and stared at Charles holding his brother. He knew there was no turning back and he also knew it was best to tell Charles. He just didn't know when. He started walking over to everyone and made small talk.

Dustin was more talkative with him than anyone else. He tried to hug Donna and Nancy but they back away. "How is my girls doing." Donna look at Nancy squeezing her arm trying to keep her from going off. "I don't know Michael they might be at the club. Or maybe a bar? Maybe they walking around here in the shadows watching us as we speak." She said glancing at Glinda hanging with Mindy.

Michael eyes watered as he tried to speak, "Baby girl please just hear me out just let me in, don't block me out forever." Donna reach over and gave him a side hug and she walk away with Nancy. Nancy look back at him over her shoulder as tears slowly fell.

She turned back and kept walking to other relatives. Michael felt so hurt and so broken. "Hey, you must be Charles dad." He look over at a beautiful girl. He stared at her nice and smooth brown skin face. Her smile was so gorgeous he couldn't stop staring.

"Am I correct." He could tell she was getting uncomfortable by how tense she got. "Yes yes I am." She nodded and stuck her hand out to shake his hand. He shook it and slowly pulled it up to his lips and placing a kiss on her hand. "You must be my son girlfriend."

She blushed a little, "Well yeah in a way." "Beautiful, my son sure do know how to pick them." She smiled harder and rubbed her hands together, "What is your name sweetheart." "Dee." he stared at her but couldn't help but notice she look familiar.

"Do I know you or something because I feel like I know you." "My mom and your ex wife are friends." "Your Camila's daughter." She nodded and then he slowly look her over seeing some resemblance. "Is your ass through staring her down like she naked."

He tensed at the sound of Charles. Dee walk over and hug him, "Baby why you mad." "Dee go over there with everyone else I'll be over there afterwards." Charles said still staring at Michael.

Dee nodded waving goodbye to Michael and she walk away. Charles didn't move as he stared back at who he once love and called dad. "I see nothing change with you." Michael smirked as he sat down, "Look your girlfriend was just introducing her self that's all we was doing. When she told me Camila was her mom that's when I started to see resemblance."

Charles shook his head laughing to his self, "The man you showed me you was five years ago is all I see. So excuse me that I cant see daddy dearest right now." Michael nodded slowly, "Look Charles I don't want you to forgive me-" "Oh trust and believe I'm not forgiving you ass!"

It got silent then Michael tried to speak again, "As I was saying I don't want you to forgive me but at least deal with me and I will deal with you." Charles stared at him like he was crazy as he started breathing hard, but didn't say nothing. "I love all of you especially Jr. and I will like for us to hold the bull shit in when he is around."

Michael waited on a yes or no but he didn't get nothing. Charles scoffed and turned away but immediately stop and look back at Michael. "Why you care so much about my son." Michael held his hands up, "Hell he the only one that loves me and I'm trying to keep it that way, and I'm also trying to fix other relationships too."

With that Michael walk over towards everybody surrounding the cake. Charles was not too far trailing behind him. Michael stood close to the table staring at his son by the cake. When everyone finally was around the table they started to sing Happy Birthday.

Jr. giggled through out the song as he scream,  "I'm five." Michael couldn't help but tear up. He look over at Charles and he is doing the same as well. When Jr. blew out his candles, him and his friends started screaming. Glinda pick him up swinging him around, "I love you so much birthday boy." Jr. giggled pulling his mom closer.

He then open his eyes going towards Charles. Charles put him on his shoulders. Michael then became furious. "Hey Michael you want me to fix you a plate." He turned to Martha warm smile. He sighed, "Um yes I think I'm leaving early." He then notice how her face soften like she was sad. "Oh ok then follow me then." Michael follow her making small talk.

Soon he was on his way down the road thinking. "Once Charles finds out, I don't know what he gon do." He then smiled thinking about Martha. He couldn't believe she gave him her number. "Use it any time Michael." He smiled because she just don't know how many times he was gon be using it.

Sorry for mistakes. Well this wasn't that good but it was a little some some. Do anyone feel that Michael should tell Charles and everyone the truth? Also do you think Dee should inform Charles about her being pregnant.
