For the life of me I just couldint understand my child and her actions, I thought she wanted me to be happy with a lady and now she's cutting this one with razors? I was very confused and I didn't want to believe that my sweet baby girl would do something like this. When the door swung open and I saw the razor in her hand my heart dropped and I felt rage all through my body with many questions going through my mind. Did she learn this at school? What convinced her to even try something like that? After Regina went home and I made sure she was good I decided to go in and finally talk to baby girl, I never had to be so stern with her but she really crossed the line with this one and there was no turning back. I knocked on her door and got no answer at all so I decided to twist the knob. I found her sitting up in her bed just staring at the ceiling.
"May I come in for a minute?"
"You're already in mind as well do what you came in here to do." She said with an attitude.
"Baby why did you cut her what happened?"
She gave me a cold look and just hung her head low as if she knew I was coming in here to whoop her.
"Dad do you think I would really hurt her? And what about what she did to me?"
"What exactly did she do to you?" I questioned her with a surprised look on my face.
"Dad she ... well she... oh never mind I'll apologize to her and I'll never do it again." She said in a defeated like voice.
After kissing her on the check and tucking her in,telling her I loved her I just walked out dazed and confused. I didn't want to believe my child hurt someone but I also didn't want to believe that this sweet women would just harm herself. I took out my phone to check on Regina just to make sure she was doing alright. If she was going to be my new women I had to start caring for her and I had to find a way for her and my child to get along so that we could be one big happy family.
"Hello"
"Hey Regina this is .. "
"I know who this is what's up I just left you ."
"I was just calling to see if you were alright."
"Yea I'm good.. can I ask you a question?"
"Sure what's up you can ask me anything."
"Has your child even portrayed this behavior before?"
"No I never had a women around her before, you are the first, when her mother passed I was stuck on raising my child and focusing on the business, but now I just decided to date and all of a sudden this. I don't understand it at all. "
"Well I think I understand the problem, she may be suffering from Bipolar Depression , I know a few that suffer and she's showing signs."
Thinking to myself "what if my child actually has a mental issue because of her mom being gone?"
"How can I help her if this is the case?"
"Well Daren you can make her an appointment or just wait to be sure if you like, I have an idea, maybe what she needs is a day of fun. I know this is short notice but my family is going to the water park next weekend maybe yall should come and see how she interacts with other children."
"Ok it's a date and that will give us more time to spend time together."
After we hung up I decided to check on my baby again before going to bed. I didn't know why my child disliked her but I was determined to fix whatever needed to be fixed. I said my prayers and said goodnight. Maybe all my child needed was fun I haven't been the best since her mom died but if my child wanted fun I would do anything to give her peace.

Now what do I look like going anywhere with my family to a damn water park? Me and my family didn't get along at all except for a few and I still wasn't going nowhere with them. So I hired a fake look-alike family for this little family outing of mine. It was time to push his child to the limits and get her to do something crazy so that her father can make that appointment. We needed the money if we were going to move away and send her little ass to a crazy house far away from us. He didn't need a child as fine as he was, I needed all his attention and this little trip was going to set everything up the way that it should be.....
It was the weekend of the trip and I was meeting them at the water park, he wanted to ride with us but I simply told him that maybe little Shyneice wasn't ready to be so close to me and besides if she tried something I was gone check her ass even if it was in front of her father I didn't care. That little girl was not going to ruin my plans of getting close to her father.
"Hey Shyneice girl you look cute in that bathing suit." I said to her as she was sitting by the pool.
"Look.... I just want to apologize for whatever happened.. I didn't mean to get out of line with you.. You're grown and I'm a child and I should act like one." She said to me in an uncertain tone.
I gave her a look and decided to give this little demon seed another chance. Either way she was not getting her way at all so she better chill out.
We got up and started walking to the other pool where my so called family was and her dad was just getting to know everyone.
"Why don't you play with Kalie she's around your age and let us grown folks do us?"I suggested to Shyneice.
"Ok Ms. Regina sounds like a good idea." She said as her and this lil dinky girl named Kalie begin to play in the pool.
I gave the little girl a look and she knew just what to do, they were going to play a little game while I play a little game with her father. I walked over to her father and sat in his lap and just decided to kiss him on the cheek. He surprised me by kissing me on the lips and said he wish we were alone. I told him that he must be in the mood for a little something and he smiled and said yes and gave me a smirk. Everything was going great that's until we all heard a scream coming from the pool area. I jumped out his lap and pretended to care about these kids. Hell I was kinda wishing that they would've drowned so that all of my problems could be solved. I was rethinking my plans and decided that I just wanted him and him alone.
"What's going on here?" Daren asked the kids.
"Well your child here tried to drown me in this water."
Daren looked at his daughter and gave her a worried look and waited for her to explain.
"Dad we were both playing and she tried to drown me first and I wasn't going out like that." Shyneice said to her dad and by the look on his face he wasn't believing nothing she was saying.
"Little girl I don't know what's going on with you but I think I know what you need, and you expect me to believe that this little girl that's in this corner of this pool shaking and crying tried to drown you? Get out the pool and let's go home you're grounded! Daren said to Shyneice.
I looked on at the scene and saw the look on her face and she got out of the water. I gave her a grin and assured her father that we would get to the bottom of her issue. My plan was working out nicely and there was no way that this little fucker will ruin me cause before she did I was going to be sure to end her.
