Kai was 4 weeks, The twins first birthday was next week, Zac and Fatima was also in the middle of planning their wedding, this pregnancy and after pregnancy have took a toll on Fatima, she's been battling postpartum depression.
Kai was mommas boy and only wanted his mom, anytime Fatima try to put him down he'll cry, he was up all night, sleeping through the day. With the apartment building Zac been working more days out the week, so he nows works Monday through Thursdays. Today was Friday, Zac just got home from dropping the kids off at daycare.
Fatima just had finally put Kai to sleep after he's been screaming for the past 20 minutes.
Fatima: Don't pick him up Zac, he just went to sleep I'm not playing with you
Zac: man please I missed my boy
Fatima: No Zac he just went to sleep and you know he's not even going to want you if he wakes up so now leave him alone
(Zac still decided to pick him up)
Fatima: Do you ever fucking listen, I'm not dealing with you or him, if he starts screaming you figure it out don't be trying to bring him upstairs to me
Zac: You tripping right now, he will be fine.. like what's wrong with you?
(Fatima been keeping her depression to herself, she doesn't wanna feel like she's failing as a mom)
Fatima: I told you not to pick him up because he just went to sleep, I can't get nothing done when he's up because all he wants is me and you just ignored everything I said
Zac: I got him, whatever you have to do go head and do it, don't worry about him.
Fatima went upstairs, Zac and Kai went downstairs in Zac's man cave. Fatima walked into the bathroom and went to lean over the sink.
"Okay let me pull myself together" "this ain't me, this ain't me" every thing is going to be fine" she thinks to herself.
Fatima went to take a shower, she wanted some fresh air, so she wanted to go out run some errand and have a little bit of alone time, Kai was laying on Zac chest sleep, Fatima walked down there to let him know she was leaving.
Fatima: He has a bottle upstairs I just pumped, I'm going out for a little bit, I'll be back later, if you need anything call me.
Zac: You know we can come with you babe
Fatima: No I just really wanna be alone
Zac laid Kai's receiving blanket on the couch, laying kai on it, then he stood up in front of Fatima making straight eye contact
Zac: Are you okay? Honestly Fatima
Fatima: Yes babe I'm okay
Zac: doesn't look like it to me, don't lie to me Fatima please don't t
Fatima: Zac I really just want to get some fresh air that's all
Zac: I know you better than anyone else Fatima, you not okay, you haven't been okay for weeks now, now you gone sit in my face and lie to me?
Fatima: We really about to do this?
Zac: Yes we are, so what's going on?
Fatima: Can we just talk about it later
Zac: I don't know what state of mind you in, but you're not leaving until you tell me what's wrong.
Fatima: I've been battling postpartum for the last 2 weeks now, you happy now.
Zac: And that's something you thought was okay not to tell me?
