The Big Announcement...

(Jay and Bey watched movies and played with Jr all day. It was a real chill day for them. Bey still had MT on her mind. She just couldn’t think of what could possibly be wrong. Was it Mathew? Was she sick? Was she hurt? What was going on?)

*phones rings*

Bey: Who calling the house phone? *answers* Hello

Solo: Hey Thu Thu what yall doin?

Bey: Nothing much just chillin and watching movies. Wassup? Why you call the house phone?

Solo: I called ya cell, but you didn’t answer.

Bey: Oh my bad, I didn’t hear it ring. Its upstairs.

Solo: Aw ok well I was just calling to see if yall were home, me and Daniel are about 15 minutes away from the house

Bey: Oh ok see ya later then *they hang up*

Jay: Who was that baby?

Bey: Solange. Her and Daniel are on the way

Jay: Oh ok. Are you gonna call Mama and tell her they back?

Bey: Ima wait til Solange get here.

Jay: Why not now? She said she was gonna tell yall together. If you call her now then her and Solo will make it around the same time.

Bey: I know. I want Solange and Daniel to come home and get settled first. Whatever it is it sounded bad and I just don’t want Solange to be stressed the second she walks in. Plus its getting late. I’ll just call Ma and have her to come over tomorrow.

Jay: Ok baby that’s fine. In the meantime *kisses her* I wont you to stop worrying and come to bed with me *winks*

Bey: Jay you know I cant right now

Jay: Damn. I forgot. When can you?

Bey: A couple more days baby

Jay: *sighs* I guess I can wait

Bey: *giggles* Cut  it out. You waited after Jr was born and when we were broken up so I know you can wait a couple more days

Jay: You right. I still wanna cuddle up with you tho.

Bey: We can cuddle after Solange gets here. I wanna ask how her trip went. Plus we have to put Jr to sleep. He still playing.

Jay: Ok fine. Come here lil man

Jr: Huh *rubbing his eyes*

Jay: You ready for bed son?

Jr: No. I wanna play

Jay: But I can tell you sleepy. You was sleeping on the floor and you keep rubbing your eyes

Jr: I wasn’t sleep

Jay: *laughs* Yea ok. Come on, lets go take a bath and get ready for bed

Jr: *starts whining* I don’t want to

Jay: *picks him up* Hush boy.

Bey: Night baby boy

Jr: *lip poked out* Night Mommy

(Jay took Jr and gave him a bath and put him to bed. He took a shower too and then went downstairs to see Bey talkin to Solange. He was gonna join then, but he figured they were talking about Mama Tina so he just went back upstairs.)

Bey: So how was everything? You look so happy? You have this glow

Solange: *smiling* I am happy. Daniel is EVERYTHING. We saw so many places. That’s why I loved our honeymoon. We didn’t do the traditional thing and go to the Bahamas. I liked his idea of getting a car and just driving.

Bey: Im glad you enjoy yourself. Where all did yall go?

Solange: I cant even name the places off the top of my head. I’ll show you the pictures tomorrow

Bey: That’s cool. Where Daniel? Why he didn’t come back downstairs with you?

Solange: Girl Daniel is knocked out. He is so tired. He didn’t most of the driving because he didn’t want me behind the wheel too long.

Bey: Awww he’s the sweetest

Solange: I know. Thu have you talked to Ma?

Bey:: Earlier. Have you?

Solange: Yea she called me and said she needed to tell us something when I got back

Bey: When she call you?

Solange: Like two days ago

Bey: Oh. Well I called her earlier and she said the same thing.

Solange: She sounded really down, so Im bracing myself. I just know its something bad.

Bey: Don’t say that Solange, we don’t know that

Solange: I do. I have a feeling. Tomorrow we have to get her over here so she can tell us whats going on

Bey: Already done

Solange: Good. Well Im tired too, so Ima go to bed Thu *hugs her* Goodnight love ya

Bey: Night love ya too

(A few minutes later, Bey goes to her room, showers, and goes to bed. Jay was waiting for her. He knew she was talking to Solo so he just got on his laptop and listened to some beats. When he heard Bey getting out the shower, he laid down and waited for her to come get in bed.)

Bey: *gets in bed* Night baby

Jay: You going to sleep?

Bey: Naw, I just thought you were so I went ahead and said goodnight

Jay: Im not going to sleep. Its only like 10

Bey: Dang, it seem later than that

Jay: I know…….Baby when do you wanna get married?

Bey: *turns to him* That was random, but idk. I don’t really wanna rush into marriage right now. I mean Im sort of at a peak in my career, Jr just turned two, and its just to much going on. Im sorry if I sound selfish baby. Its just hard to explain.

Jay: You don’t sound selfish baby. We can get married whenever you want. I just wanted to ask. I was trying to take your mind of Mama.

Bey: Thanks baby I appreciate, but its stuck in my mind that something is wrong with her.

Jay: Im sorry baby. I wish I could do something. Come here *she scoots closer to him and he kisses her* I love you baby

Bey: I love you too

(Bey just let Jay hold her tight. She felt so safe in his arms like everything is gonna be ok. Eventually they both fall asleep talking to each other about stuff. The next day, Jay cooked breakfast, they ate. They chilled and Bey went in the studio for a lil bit....It was 7 pm and Jay was almost done with dinner and MT was on her way.)

Bey: *setting the table with Solo* Im nervous

Solo: Me too. I have never been nervous about having dinner with my own damn mama

Bey: Tell me about it *doorbell rings* She’s here

Solo: Want me to get it?

Bey: Naw Jay, Julius, or Daniel will get it

Solo: *takes a deep breathe* Well here goes nothing

MT: Hey yall *hugs them*

Mat: Hey yall *hugs them*

Both: Hey Mama and Dad

MT: This is Tarajiah

Bey: Hi Tarajiah *shakes her hand*

Solo: Hi

Mat: Wheres the food? Im starving *laughs*

Jay: *walking in with a roast* Its right here. Bey wanna help me get the rest?

Bey: Yea sure *in the kitchen* Baby I wonder why Mama brought Daddy and that random ass girl if she knew we had to talk about something

Jay: Idk Bey, just chill. Here, grab the potatoes *she grabs them*

Bey: Baby I need you tonight. Its really awkward, and I don’t know how to react right now

Jay: Im right here baby *kisses her and grabs green bean casserole* Lets go get this over with

(They sit down and have dinner. Its real awkward at dinner. Bey and Solo kept looking at each trying to figure out whats going on. Bey wanted to just ask, but it was strangers at the table. After dinner, Jay cleaned up and got Jr and went to upstairs. Daniel went to him and Solo’s room. Bey, Mat, MT, Solo, and Tarajiah sat in the dining room lookin at each other crazy.)

Bey: Ok this awkwardness is killing me. *tries to break the ice* So Tarajiah, how do you know our parents?

Tarajiah: Well its a long story

Bey: We have all night * fake laugh*

MT: Well that’s what I wanted to talk to yall about

Solo: Ok so talk Mama, whats really going on? Im confused

Mat: *looks at MT* You can do this baby.

MT: *swallows* Girls, years ago I was *pauses*

Bey: O_o You were what Ma? Spit it out, you’re scaring me

Mat: Go ahead. You have to tell them. You been holdin this in for years

MT: *big sigh, teary eyes* Beyonce, before you were born, I went through a rough patch in my life. After my mom died, I was a wreck.

*Solo holds Bey hand under the table, she’s scared*

Mat: *rubs MT back* Its ok baby

MT: *tears running down her face* I turned to drugs. I was on every drug you know can name

Bey: *getting teary eyed* Ma

MT: Let me finish *wipes her tears* I was on drugs to the point where I was having sexual relations with men to support my habits *starts crying again*

Mat: *holding tears back* its ok baby

Solo: *in tears* Ma what are you trying to tell us? What does this have to do with anything?

MT: Well, I got pregnant *looks at T*  with Tarajiah

Bey: *crying* What?!

MT: I got pregnant and at the time I was so unstable, I just gave her away. *breaks down*

(At this point, everyone is crying, including Mathew. Bey and Solo are still kind of confused, but they don’t ask questions. They just hold each other’s hands tighter as she explains.)

MT: Tarajiah is yalls older sister *breaks down even more* Im so sorry

Solange: *crying* What?! Mama are you serious? Why did you? How did…

Bey: *crying* Its ok Solange..Mama why did you keep this from us?

MT: I knew about her all this time, but I didn’t know where she was. How could I tell yall something when she wasn’t here? Tarajiah reached out to me about a week ago. We had dinner and talked.

Bey: Ma…

(Everybody continued to cry hysterically over this big announcement. Bey and Solo were a wreck, but it didn’t amount to how MT felt. After about 30 minutes of crying and silence, MT collects her as best she can and speaks.)

MT: *sniffs* I want to apologize to all three of you guys. I want to apologize for keeping such a big secret from you all for so long. It killed me inside every single day. I want to apologize to you Tarajiah for giving you away. I hope and pray that you will find it in your heart to forgive me. I want to apologize to you Beyonce and Solange for me living with this guilt around yall for most of yalls lives. I hope yall can forgive me too. *starts crying again* Im so sorry girls

Solo: *still crying* Dad, did you know about this?

Mat: *looks in her eyes and sees the pain, but he had to be honest*  Yes Solange I knew.

MT: Don’t be mad at your dad. He was the person who saved me. He took me to drug rehab, he was patient with, and he stuck with me through everything. That’s why as much as we have our differences, Im still here with him.

Bey: *wiping her tears* I don’t know what to say Mama. This is…*eyes water again*

Tarajiah: *sniffing* I would like to say that even though this hurtful, I have attended counseling classes and I have gotten over this. My classes gave me the strength to even contact her. I just hope that as your biological sister we can bond in some way.

Solo: I cant do this *cries and runs upstairs*

Bey: *sittin there crying* This is. Ma? I thought we didn’t hold secrets in.

MT: That’s why I always wanted to have that bond with you girls. I didn’t want yall to hold a secret this big inside. It hurts. The ongoing guilt affects your entire life. Im so sorry Beyonce.

Mat: Im gonna go check on Solange

Bey: No Dad, leave her alone. Just let her be

MT: Beyonce can you forgive me? I know Solange is not gonna come around right now, but I need you to please forgive me. We have been the closest.

Bey: *gets up* I cant Ma…..
