"Kissy!!!" little J was more than happy to be held by his Aunt
Krystal.
"Hey baby" Krystal lifted the small boy from the floor in his arms.
Like any woman Justin reached out for Krystal. Well more for her
anatomy. "Yo homie, ain't no milk in there."
"You know he does that to every woman."
"Yeah I know, learning something from his daddy?"
"Most definitely, I mean he wants Justina to wait to get married
when's 50 but little J can go crazy."
"We'll have to check him on that."
"You know it" the two women's laughter ceased at the sound of the
doorbell. "Ugh who is that?"
Well there's only one way to find out."
"Smart ass" she mumbled. Kristina removed herself from the table to
greet her visitor. Yeah too bad her visitor was the Jenna Jameson
wanna be. "Your child is with Justin."
"I actually want to speak to you."
"Well I don't want to speak to you, good day."
"Please, I'm here to apologize." Hearing her apology wasn't shit but
she wanted to indulge her.
"Fine" she sighed. Giving her some space, Veneska walked inside the
spacious mansion. Her blue eyes fell upon the classic black and white
pictures of the couple that hung on the walls. First mission take
those down. "Um please have a seat, I'll be with you in a second."
Kristina made her way back to the kitchen where Krystal was playing
with J.
"So who was it?"
"Bitch McGee herself."
"She's here?! Are you serious?!"
"Yes, she claims she wants to apologize."
"Hmm apologize my ass, wanna take her down? J can get in on it too,
he got a few teeth."
"Krystal no, I am not putting my baby in the crossfire but if I'm
gone too long bring the butcher knife."
"Cuz that how ya'll do in southwest."
"That's right." More pictures of the two along with the family
portraits filled the den. Both children were spitting images of their
father. Veneska picked up the sterling silver frame that held a
picture of the entire family. On the bottom was engraved ~The
Timberlakes~. Poor little bitch. She had no clue what she was about
to pull on the couple. Justin would see that she was the better
choice. With time Kristina would be a thing of the past. The sound of
Kristina clearing her throat brought Veneska's attention away from
the photo.
"You um have a lovely family."
"Hmmm yeah, thanks."
"Look about yesterday I apologize. Really my emotions were high
strung and I was just talking out of my ass. I should have never said
those things and for that I am truly sorry." Gosh she wanted to hate
her! Wait she did, but at least she was woman enough to apologize.
"Fine apology accepted but there's still a matter of this child."
"Our child."
"Yes….why now? That girl isn't a baby. Why did you wait so long?"
Veneska took a deep breath before starting her story.
"When I found out I was pregnant I was a mess. I was running with the
wrong crowd and doing the wrong type of things. But then I became
pregnant and I didn't know what to do. I was carrying a married mans
child. Telling him while you guys were trying to mend things would've
just made things worse. So I kept the secret. I moved on, met this
guy who was willing to treat Alesha like his own. We moved to Vegas
to start over but then he became controlling towards me and Alesha"
she said hanging her head in sadness. When she began to tear up she
looked away. "I couldn't let him treat me or Alesha that way. So I
left but without some sort of support things were tough. I don't mean
money, I don't want anything from Justin like that but the care and
love Alesha needs from her father." Ugh she was supposed to hate
her!! But after hearing everything she went through she hated to be
mean to her. Growing up without a father was something she didn't
want Alesha to have to go through that as well.
"I understand, honestly I do. Justin will make sure she gets all the
love, care and more that little girl deserves, mark my words" Veneska
nodded. "Look there's no need to for us to be at each others throats.
We need a united front here so Alesha can adjust to these new things
going on in her life."
"I agree thanks for being so understanding."
"Thank you for being honest."
"Well I better go. I need to run some errands. Justin said that he'd
be back at 6 right?"
"Yup."
"Well I'll see you then?"
"Alright see you later" Kristina walked Veneska to the door Wow that
poor girl went through some things. This whole child thing might have
been a shocker but there was no need for the world to end. Moving
step by step, they'd get through this together.
"Hello?"
"Hey I just left from the Timberlake palace."
"Did she buy it?"
"Hook line and sinker. Before you know it there's gonna be a new Mrs.
Timberlake just wait and see."
~*~
"You what?!" Could JC get any louder? Around the four guys Justin
explained his current situation. Veneska, Alesha all of it which
dumbfounded the guys. He had another child?! It was just
unbelievable! Tah tell that to him. If anyone was shocked it was he.
None of them could grasp it. Justin had another child that basically
popped out of the wood work.
"Look I'm just surprised. I never thought that the one on my doorstep
was my past and a child. Ahem, MY CHILD!! What am I gonna do?"
"Well #1 take care of the home front. How does Kristina feel about
all of this?" Who could forget Justin's turbulent time when she was
away? His two failed suicides were more than enough than the guys
could handle. Sure Justin wasn't the same person five years ago but
without Kristina and those kids he was nothing.
"Uh….uh…"
"Uh…uh…" Joey mocked, "uh what? You either talked to her or you
haven't."
"I haven't" he moaned.
"So how do know how she feels if you haven't talked to you?"
"When it all went down she told me she wouldn't leave me."
"That doesn't mean she's not upset. That just means at the moment it
hadn't registered that you have a child with another woman."
"Chicks don't like that" Chris comment.
"Is that so?" Duh Chris tell Justin something he didn't know.
"You've to talk to her, seriously sit down and talk to her. Learn how
she feels about everything and where this will take your
relationship." Lance always had to be the voice of reason. But then
again he was the closest to her. Every since they bonded in NYC the
night Justin asker her to marry him they had a connection. They
understood each other on a lot of levels. Plus she introduced him to
the love of his life, his princess Krystal. Everyday he thanked the
Lord for sending Kristina to Justin for Kristina sent Krystal to him.
Therefore he owed it to her to see to her happiness since she brought
so much to his.
"You're right, I hate it when you're right."
"Who doesn't?"
"But I'm an Aquarius, I'm supposed to be right all the time."
"That shit doesn't fly with us J" All eyes fell on Lance.
"Did Lancey poo say a cuss word?" Joey gasped.
"Blame it on Krystal. She has the mouth of a dirty dirty sailor."
"The southern gentleman slowly falling off his pedestal."
"Maybe it's a Detroit thing. Kristina cusses up a storm too" all
agreed with that one. "Maybe it's a southwest thing."
"But only Kristina is from southwest Krystal is further north."
"How could you forget that? What's her token phrase `I'll cut ya!
That's how we do in southwest'."
"I thought her token phrase was `I'm from the D'." Kristina's life in
the Midwest had affected each nsyncer in more ways than one to the
point that they steered completely away from the subject at hand.
"Wait! Wait! We are getting besides the point!" Lance interrupted. It
was interesting to talk about but wasn't the problem to focus on. The
problem was Kristina's feelings about Veneska and Justin new found
child.
"Look just from that discussion alone proves we all love Kristina
especially you J. Talk to your lady before there is a repeat
performance of 4 years ago."

Misteeq's gonna show ya, got something for ya, Coming to destroy ya,
We got a little something gonna blow ya mind,
We ain't gonna bore, coming back on tour
Lot's of funky melodies your gonna like for sure
"First up we have the vivacious and beautiful Briana Fatone. She is
wearing an Yves Saint Laurent ensemble with Diane Von Furstenburg
pumps equipped for a night on the town or in the office. Strike a
pose Bri!" Briana made her way down the makeshift runway posing ala
Noemie Lenoir style at the end. Photo lights from Kristina's digital
camera went off giving the mock show some realism. "Alright thank you
hon. Up next we have Justina Timberlake modeling Dolce and Gabbana.
Pink is all the rage and she wears it well toping her look with Oscar
de la Renta stilettos that's drive all the guys insane. Pull a Naomi
babe." Sassy as she wanna be, Justina posed with her had on her hip.
Boy did they have something on their hands in the future.
"So what do you think little J?" Briana asked.
"Pweety." Little J or Justin jr. to anyone outside of their circle
was on the verge of talking. At a year and 4 months their youngest
was the most clear on saying yes, no, me hungee, hello, buh bye, all
the guys names, the girls, momma, daddy and above all else--pwetty.
In other words at a young age little J liked the ladies.
"Yes they are" everyone turned their attention to Justin who was
standing in the doorway. Immediately both girls ran to him.
"Hi Uncle Justin!"
"Hi daddy!"
"Hi princesses, how are you?"
"Fine."
"Mm-hmm" Justina nodded along.
"That's good, now where are you two going? Dressed all fancy?"
"We had a fashion show."
"Really? I was getting worried there for a second, thought you two
were going out on a date with a boy."
"EW!!! NO WAY!" Briana squealed.
"Daddy you said that I can't date till I'm 50."
"My girl" he smiled kissing her on the temple. Gently he laid both
girls down to the floor. Justin walked over to Kristina with his
hands in his pockets. Despite being one year to 30 Justin still had a
child like look to him. His baby face still remained and his locks of
curls to which were filling out once more took him back to 21. As the
two girls conversed over their attire, Justin moved closer in. "Hey
is there any way we um, can be alone for a while? We need to talk."
Oh boy she was dreading this. But it needed to be done.
"Uh yeah I was actually on my way to drop them off to ballet."
"I can get someone else to do it."
"Who?"
A few minutes later
"Thanks a lot for this lance. I appreciate this."
"No problem, I'll take 'em to Erin Park afterwards."
"Alright, be good for Uncle Lance guys."
"Ok." Lance grabbed all their things before heading to the door.
Though they weren't his kids they were treated as such. He loved love
Bri, Tina and J. He couldn't wait for Krystal to have a little Lance.
Anyways Lance made his way to the door.
"You got everything? Their uniforms? Justin's bag?"
"Yes Mr. Mom" Lance joked. He knew why they asked him to watch the
kids for a while. He was following his advice. "Look listen to her,
understand where she's coming from, give her a chance to tell how she
feels ok?"
"Will do Dr. Lance."
"I'm serious Justin, don't muck this up."
"Alright." High strung would best describe the feeling Justin was
going through. At any given moment she could destroy him by taking
away his children and her love. Hiding out in Canada showed him that
if she wanted to disappear again she could. Therefore he had to make
this work.
"Kristina….I need you to be completely candid. Tell me how you feel
about everything. Are you upset. Angry, confused about everything
happening?" Kristina took a moment to ponder on her answer. Today was
like that very same day. The sun was peeking through the crème color
drapes beaming down upon the two of them. Only this time it wasn't in
the act of love but in the act of what the future held for the two of
them.
"Well I can't lie and say I'm thrilled. I mean Veneska was something
I wanted to leave in the past. When we worked out our problems though
unforgotten, I tried my best to block it, her out of my mind. Now
she's reemerged but not only her but a child you both created. It
hurts Justin but I'm not going to take my feelings out on Alesha for
she's just a child. She deserves more than what Veneska alone can
give. So I'm going to try my hardest to accept things as is." From
that alone simply reminded Justin that he married the most fantastic
girl in the world. Even after that speech there was still the
question.
"But that doesn't answer my question."
"Well Justin to answer your question, how do I feel? Honestly…I don't
know."
