Everything I Expected

Chapter 1

2 Years Later....

Y/n POV
  "Kalia and Kaleo, get your stuff ready for when your mother comes. Cheylise make sure you help them pack their bags for me." "Okay!" I hear them yell in harmony.
It's been 2 years since Dinah left me. Two years since we've been coparenting. Two years I've tried to get her back. And nothing is working. i never wanted to have two baby mothers that are stubborn. I thought I was going to have one and a wife, but I guess I played myself.
The week after Dinah left me I was a wreck. The house that I had built for us is up but nobody lives there. I was thinking about putting it on the market, but I thought against it as I know that me and her are going to get back together and I refuse to build another house. Her father, uncles, brothers, and cousins came and removed her and the twins stuff from the house. i couldn't bare to help them out at all. I just laid in bed the whole entire time crying my eyes out. I didn't leave the house unless I needed to. Cheylise went to Melanie for the whole week and the twins went with Dinah. The girls always tried to contact me but I never answered any of them. Thats until Lauren and Normani came to my house and told me that crying and mourning in my sadness won't get me nowhere with trying to get Dinah back and that I have kids to take care of.
After that week was the worst days of my life. Dinah refused to actually meet me in person so I can get the kids. She would send the kids with the girls to bring them here. It would piss me off because I just wanted to talk to her about the situation but she never would try and see me. I released my new album at the time that was titled "DJ" knowing that she would want to name her album after herself at one point. I invited her to the album release party and she didn't even come to the party. Everyone else that I invited came except for her. Even Melanie and Milika came to the party, but she didn't come.
When the news broke out that me and Dinah were not together the tabloids went crazy. All of them were stating that I either cheated on her, my side chick pulled up at the wedding, or that she decided to find someone better. Dinah and I's first interview, separately, were totally different. Our stories were both the same with different story lines. Then it went out that Dinah and I was just a publicity stunt and that the wedding got cancelled because Dinah couldn't stand being used anymore and she ended it all together. In which, me being the hothead that i've became, made the situation worse by getting mad and escalating everything. you can't blame me though. What me and Dinah had was real. There was nothing fake about it at all. All the smiles, all the pain, and all the frowns were real. We never acted anything out. Everything between us was real. The day Dinah finally started talking to me was when she came to finally pick up the kids.

I just gave the twins a bath and now I'm getting them dressed. I start to put on Kaleo's shoes and tie them when the doorbell rang. Cheylise just left with Melanie no more than 20 minutes ago, so I know that its Lauren or Normani to come get the twins. I pick them up and their diaper bag and head down stairs to open the door for the girls. I open the door trying to fix the diaper bag in my hand not paying attention to who is standing in front of me or how I look.
  "Hey, tell Dinah that the kids just got a bath so they won't be needing one tonight, but knowing her she would give them a bath. And Kaleo's diapers are starting to become too small so I bought a new box for her so she wouldn't have to go without any before getting him some. And the diaper bag is filled with clothes for the twins that I bought that I thought that they need over there. Like just plain colored onesies and some more socks." "You know I don't have to tell myself that, but I appreciate that you went and got those things for me. The girls didn't give you their car seats?"
I lift my head up so fast and I can see my heart itself looking right at me. Looking more beautiful than I remember. "Hey, I wasn't expecting you to be behind the door nor being the one to pick the kids up." "Why not?" "Dinah don't act like you're the one that has been picking the kids up or as if we are on good terms. You haven't tried to contact me unless its been about the kids. Then on top you have Lauren and Normani to come pick and drop them off. And no they didn't give me their carseats because I have carseats of my own. Do you need them?"
  "Yes I do. And there is no need for us to talk for anything more than the kids because we aren't in a relationship so there isn't anything else for us to discuss." She says as I let her in while I put the kids down and the diaper bag while I run upstairs and grab their carseats. She's crazy if she thinks that there isn't anything else that we need to talk about. I grab the carseats and go downstairs putting the carseats on the coffee table. I pick up Kalia and go to fix her in the car seat while Dinah does the same with Kaleo.
  "What do you mean there isn't anything else for us to talk about besides the kids. You act like we wasn't supposed to be getting married a month ago. But we have nothing to talk about. Just a month ago you had a lot to say bout me and this relationship. Why don't you have anything to say about it now?" "Y/N we aren't together anymore so there isn't anything to say about us. We are now just coparenting." "What if I don't want to do this bullshit with you? What if I don't want to coparent? What if I want you me and the kids including Cheylise living in the house that I had built for us that is just now sitting on free land. What if thats what I want, huh? There is nothing more in this world that I want than you and our family."
  "Y/N you know I cant do that with you." "You can't or you won't?" I say looking her in her eyes. She looks away and then looks back at me. "I can't do it. Y/N its only been a month. You can't change yourself that quickly that fast. Yes I admit that you started being there for the kids more, yes that is one of the things that I wanted you to do, but that isn't everything. For us to work, you have to put me and our family first. Start working on us as a family. Put me first. Stop choosing everyone else around you."
  "Its kinda hard to do that when you aren't around Dinah. You won't even answer my calls, reply back to my messages that I send you. I feel like you don't even want this Dinah. Im sorry that I played with your feelings in the past Dinah, but please don't do it to me now Dinah. If you don't want this at all just let me know now that way I can spare my heart and time the trouble of trying to keep this together." I say as I feel a tear slip from my eye but I wipe it before it could go down my cheek.
"Im not playing with your feelings Y/N. I want this just as much as you do. But I need to know for sure that this is what you want. Im not going to allow myself to go through what I already went through. I know my worth and I love myself and our kids to make us feel like we will always come second to you. I read every message that you send me. I keep all of the flowers that you send me. All the gifts that you send me. But buying me things aren't proving anything but how much you can spend on me. I need to see you put me first. I need your actions to put me first. Saying you're going to do something is totally different than you actually doing the things that you say you are going to do."
She says as she grabs Kaleo and the diaper bag and walks out the door. I shake my head and grab Kalia and the box of diapers. I open the door to the backseat of the all black Range Rover that I got for her, and put the box of diapers on the floor. I put Kalia in and lock the car seat in place with the seat belt. I kiss her forehead and then close the door and open the drivers door. Dinah walks around the car coming to the open door. Before she can get in the car I grab her by her waist and pull her close to me. "Stop being a stranger Dinah. Let me fix this. Allow me to fix this. I can't fix this without you letting me in." I say as I bring my face closer to hers. She places her hand on my stomach.
  "As much as I want to fall for this little thing that you're doing, I'm not going to. I will start to answer your phone calls and text messages when I see you starting to change the people around you. Because little do you know some of the people that you have around you are no good for you. And you know I've always been a good judge of character." She says as she gets out of my embrace and gets into the drivers seat, puts on her seatbelt and starts the car up.
