"Full custody to do what!?" My mom said through the phone.

"I don't know mommy it just so uncalled for I've tried to talk him out of it even his mom did but he won't let up I'm begging him at this point," I said.

"I just don't understand what does Malaysia has to do with anything?" She said.

"I don't know he's being super bitter and inconsiderate like he's taking this way too far like I know he's upset but he doesn't have to stoop this low," I said holding Malaysia.

it makes me so emotional that I could get my child taken away from me so I am trying to cherish every moment with her but that's hard when this situation is constantly being brought up with every conversation I have.

I recently reached out to my parents after Ari suggested it and we talked everything out that's when I brought up the whole custody situation.

"I just need to find a Lawyer in time I'm meeting one today," I said.

"Would it make you more comfortable if I came along?" She asked me.

"Yeah it would make me feel a lot more comfortable if you came along cause lord knows I need it," I said.

"Ok then I'll be there then," She said.

"Ok and thanks to Mom for forgiving me and stuff I'm not gonna lie I missed you" I sighed.

"I missed you to Mija it took me some time to understand and learn but now I understand more and I forgive you and I'm sorry for the things I said," She said.

We talked for a while until she told me that we need to get ready so we wrapped up our conversation.

I went in the shower washed up and started to comb out my hair and as I was doing that I got a text message making me look at my phone and roll my eyes.

Deadbeat

Are you doing anything? Because I want my daughter.

I just left him on reading because at this point I don't think I want to trust him he could be having some stuff up his sleeve.

As I got done I was starting to dress up  Malaysia then I got another text message.

Deadbeat

Look bitch I'm trying to be nice but you testing me why the fuck are you leaving me on read its either a yes or no question don't make me use this in court!

Nunu

I'm taking Malaysia with me somewhere with my mom and don't call me a bitch I don't want to argue ok!

Deadbeat

Since when did you get back cool with ya moms?

Nunu

That's none of your concern don't talk to me unless it has something to do with Malaysia.

Now he's trying to use this whole court thing to scare me and make me be on my "best behavior".

And I feel like he's just doing this whole custody thing to scare me and beg him to forgive me for cheating and he can take me back which is not gonna happen because this whole slcoiet situation makes me think so different of him like I can't believe I fell in love with him at one point.

"You ready to go see Abuela mami?" I said to M as I rubbed her cheek.

"This could be the last time I can ever see her," I thought and I started to get emotional but I quickly pulled myself together.

"Let's just think positive for now," I said to myself as I hoped in the car I then send my mom the information to where we were going to meet up with my lawyer.

"Hello, how are you I'm Joann, and I heard you've been looking for a lawyer so if it asks why do you need d a lawyer?"Joann asked me with a smile.

"Well...recently me and my baby father broke up and he's upset about it and now he's claiming I'm not fit to be a mother and all other accusations and now he's trying to take full custody of our daughter," I said.

"And this is your daughter here?" She said pointing to Malaysia as I nodded.

"So I need you to be specific with me if you don't mind so how did you guys break up," She asked me pulling out a notepad from her briefcase.

"Um. I cheated..but that's only because I felt like in our relationship I wasn't getting the attention that I needed and he was also doing things as well" I said as she nodded.

"So what are the things that he was doing to make you get to that point," She said writing in her notepad.

My heart started racing. Why am I trying to protect him?.

"Um he would disrespect me like calling me out my name um..he would put his hands on me," I said as I put my head down.

"What! So what Lola was saying was true!?" My mom said as I nodded my head slowly.

"That's most definitely a charge and a case domestic violence is one serious crime," My lawyer said as I started to cry.

"It's ok let it out," my lawyer said handing me a tissue as my mom rubbed my back.

"Ok so is there more he's done," she asked me.

"No not nothing bigger than domestic violence," I said as she shook her head

"Ok, so do you know why he's taking or considering to have full custody?" She asked me.

"Mainly because we're no longer together anymore, he says that I'm not fit to be a mother or I'm a bad influence because I'm a stripper, and he claims that I don't have anyone to watch my baby when I'm gone off to work which doesn't make sense because I can come into work anytime I want," I said

"So he's accusing you of neglect? Correct?" She asked as I nodded.

"I feel like the domestic violence thing she is more than enough because what if he gets mad at my granddaughter and puts her hands on her in a harsh way" My mom butted in.

"Most definitely but we need to have evidence do you have any," She asked me

"Well, I have this scar under my eye I said pointing it out as she looked at it.

"It's been a while so I don't know if it's enough but all my other scars cleared up this kinda the only permanent one," I said.

"Well it's better than nothing," She said.

"So I have a lot of information and I think there is enough to go against him but of course of more come up to your mind please give me a call," Sje said shaking my hand.

"Ok um what the chance for me to possibly beat this case?" I asked.

"There is about a 50/50 chance that you can beat this case it goes both ways but the domestic violence charge can overthrow anything he says because once you bring that up against anything he says then he claims would mean nothing," She said making me smile.

"I just can't believe this how dare he put his hands on you, you should sue him too he needs to rot in jail why didn't you tell anybody Mija?" My mom said.

"It's not as easy as it seems when it comes to an abusive relationship mom and I was scared that he might hurt even more and I kept giving him second chances every time he " apologize" "I said over the phone.

" I know but your one of my first daughters or just hurts and make me feel less of a mom for now being there for you to seeing the signs and your cries for help because I was so busy worrying about what you did for a living," She said breaking down.

"And it's ok mom it's not your fault it's nobody but his fault," I said.

"If anything you should get full custody because he just can't be trusted what of he started beating on Malaysia," She said.

Pop would never hurt M I mean that's what I think.

I arrived back home and sat everything down.

I let My mom take Malaysia to her and my dad's house because my mom said I should get some rest because it's been a hard day for me.

I tried everything to her my mind off of this whole situation buts it's eating me alive I need to release this stress.

The phone rang before he answers.

"Hey D it's been a while I heard about everything how you're holding up?" He asked.

"John I'm just so stressed I can't do this anymore I don't want to lose my baby," I said crying.

"You're not gonna lose her I promise your not," He said.

"I just feel like I have nobody John like I need company or something," I said rubbing my temples.

"I can come over and comfort you if you want if you don't want me to that's fine I perfectly understand," he said.

"No, no please come John just come," I said.

"Ok I'm on my way," he said hanging up his phone.

Well this been in my drafts all-day

Guys I'm kinda stuck if I should drop my second book now or wait until it's finished then drop it but either way, I think I'm just gonna wait till it's finished because I already got this book and I need to update my other book and I ain't tryna jump back and forth from book to book to make sure it's updated so its best to just finish the book then drop it right?

Excuse mistakes
