"Never touch my child again, ebile get out!" [Rough Translation: ebile = you know what]  Kai holds me as Irma composes herself.

"You don't know this man and you are going to cry when you see his true colours!"

"I don't care, you never lay your ugly claws on my child." I get out of Kai's grip to hit the woman standing in front of me, how can she think it is okay to pinch a child because their dad is a dick.

"He is going to hurt you, just like he hurt me." She says after Kai pulls me off a bruised Irma. I did good. She fixes her hair and wipes away the blood on her cheek.

"Oh really, it is not my fault he could not love you right!" She stops at the threshold, turning back.

"Did he tell you I was pregnant with his child?"

"Because the baby died." He says to me, what is this man hiding from me now?

"You know what's funny, he doesn't explain to you how our baby passed away, he is not the knight in shining armour he seems to be."

"Just leave, Irma! Before I come beat you again." She walks out.

"I think that we should go too. Come on Felix." They walk out the door.

"What did you do to her?"

"It's funny how I thought she would get over it."

"What happened, Kai?"

"I am coming to that. We were sixteen, I had just given my mom the money to buy this house. It was not much but I had saved up for years to buy it. Irma tells me she is pregnant. I was not ready to be a dad, I was sixteen, I could barely sleep because I had no way of taking myself out of my job, my conscience was eating away at me and I knew I could not take care of a baby. So I told Irma all of this but I promised to give her money, to support her and the baby, financially but I could not support her emotionally or physically.

She came over, we fought and as she was leaving I wanted to go for a drive, I pulled out of the driveway and I hit her with my car. She lost the baby."

"What?"

"I was scared and it is not my proudest moment."

"You killed your baby." he tries to hold my hand but I move away from him.

"And I need to live with that, one lapse of judgement and I forever need to live with the knowledge that I killed my baby." A tear runs down his eye.

"How could you even go..."

"I was a stupid, angry, idiot teenager, I was not thinking right."

"It is not a simple mistake, you didn't crash your car, you took her child then flaunt ours in her face. She may never be able to have kids because of your stupid judgement!"

"I know that and there is nothing I can do to fix that situation."

"How about don't invite her into your house where she lost her baby and where you have your baby."

"I dont always think my decisions through, I admit that but I am sorry, Kamo, I try to be fucking better every day but I am going to fail, I am going to make mistakes, I am fucking human too."

"I can barely look at you right now."

"Welcome to the club." How am I supposed to be angry at him when he looks so broken? I sit down, he sits on the opposite side of me. In silence, we continue until we hear Greta and Hilda walk in.

"What is with you two?"

"Irma was here." They nod and go to the kitchen.

"I can't keep forgiving you for your horrible choices."
