This is me BOOK 3

Chapter 28 Growing Pains

STEVES POV

Emily had to get rushed to the hospital last night for extreme pain in her stomach. The doctor said that stress is causing her to go into early labor, but luckily they stopped it. I tried calling Dave and Anissa at Emily's request, but couldn't get a hold of either one of them. I personally was glad I couldn't reach them. Dave is the reason Emily went into early labor.

Who does he think he is? He calls my wife screaming at her. That asshole better be glad he wasn't in front of me when he was doing it. He had no right to flip out on Emily. All we did was show him the way Anissa really is. Instead of blaming his precious daughter, he takes it out on Emily. 

It doesn't matter now anyways. We been talking to our lawyer all day today, and we are ready to get the ball rolling. We have more then enough proof that Anissa is better off with us then she is with Dave. We will be leaving Australia tomorrow(because Dave cancelled our reservations), and will be filing for emergency custody right away. As much as I would prefer not to have Anissa and her attitude back with us, I will enjoy seeing Dave on the loosing end for once.

EMILYS POV

Two hours straight I called and texted my daughter. I was ignored every time. I was so stressed that it caused me to go into early labor. The doctors were able to stop it, but told me I have to be on bed rest for the next week. I am not able to do that, because when we returned to the hotel this morning, the receptionist let me know that Dave had called and told them that he was only paying for the room until tomorrow. 

We can't afford to rent a room on our own. The $1500.00 that we got yesterday from Dave is enough to get us all back to Ohio. I am beyond pissed that not only did Dave take away my daughter from me, he is now trying to hurt my other kids. He knows I don't have money, but he kicks us out of the hotel.

I don't have permission to fly back to Ohio, but I have no other choice. Steve is flipping out because he feels the baby will be at risk, but we can't stay on the streets for a week. He came up with the idea of telling Dave what happened and asking him to continue paying for the room, but Dave being the asshole that he is, won't answer my calls. His phone goes straight to voicemail, and he hasn't returned any.

I tried calling Anissa this morning, but her phone must of been off also. This afternoon her phone rang and rang, but she didn't answer. I am now writing her a text. I understand she may be upset with how I handled things, but she also went behind my back and told Dave our secret. I am her mother, she couldn't do a small favor for me? When I think about all the shit that I put up with for her, it pisses me off that she couldn't cover for me. 

I am so angry but I need to calm down for the sake of my unborn son. I finish my text and send it to my daughter hoping she will get back to me

Anissa I don't know why you aren't returning my calls. If anyone has a right to be mad it is me. I asked you to keep a secret that I trusted you with and you betrayed me. I was the one taking you to the competition, I was the one letting you hang around with Dylan, and I was the one letting you have a fun and exciting summer. I took you to the mall everyday, you always got everything you wanted, and we had a blast. Then you get with your father for one day, and turn on me. It's not fair. I have always been there for you, and always supported you and this is how you thank me. Money doesn't buy everything, just because your father gives you anything you desire, doesn't mean he is truly committed to you. I was there from day one. I understand to a young girl that gifts are a lot, but you need to also think of who has done what for you. I am sad that you told my secret, but I still love you and want to move on. I am only in Australia for one more day, and I would love to visit you and for you to visit your brothers. As I warned you before, your father is stopping us yet again from seeing each other. He told me not to call or text you. I am also not allowed to see you, he says. I am your mother and I won't allow him to take you away from me. I want you to call or text me so we can meet up. I miss you.....
