As James and I sit in the kitchen eating breakfast on a sunny Sunday morning awaiting Walkers return from his father's house. Its 11:30 and he was supposed to be back in my care by 10:30. Taye knew that, I knew that so what was taking him so long? My mommy instincts kick in and I call my ex-husband for the fourth or fifth time. I guess this time he got then call cause he picked up "Hello?" I say

"Idina what do you want?" He spits into the phone.

My anger bubbles up inside of me "what I want is to know where the hell my son is its 11:30 Taye," I hiss back at him.

"Oh, I don think I can bring him back today," He says

My heart breaks a little bit "Taye please bring my son here he needs his mom," I nearly cry

"Idina what I'm saying is I want full custody of him, Two days a week isn't enough for me,"

"Taye you and I both know that we both have legal rights to custody of him. he's not just yours and he's not just mine and we both need to respect that unless for some ungodly reason your or I were deemed unfit parents, you can't just take him away from me," I say bawling by the last sentence.

"On stop your fake ass crying you baby, I can do what I want I can and will make it so you never see your son again, he needs a dad in his life more than he needs you we can connect better on things," he spits

As I am listening to him I hear aWaljer saying 'I want mommy' my heart melts and breaks at the same time to hear my previous baby boy upset "let me talk to him," I cry

"Why should I let you talk to him," he asks in a snobby way that almost makes me want to kill him.

"He's my son I can talk to him if I want to" I respond.

"He's not your son anymore get it through that thick skull of yours," he barks.

"You can't do this Taye, y-you just can't, please don't take him away, please don't," I plea

I then hear Walker say something like 'can I talk to mommy' in the background. "let him talk to me be a good father," I tell Taye through tears I hear him sigh as he hands the phone to Walker. "Hi baby" I coo.

"I don't Want daddy to take me away," he cries my heart shatters even more I just wanted to be able to hold him and tell him that his dad couldn't ever tear us apart.

"Daddy isn't going to do anything baby not if I can do anything about it." I say "would you like me to sing to you?" I ask.

"Yes please," he says I begin to sing the words to 'You'll be in my heart' from Tarzan. As the song progresses I gain strength and confidence and being to truly feel the words that I sing to my son. "No matter what happens Walker I'll never truly leave you. you'll always be in my heart and I'll be in yours promise that no matter who you live with you never forget about your mommy,"

"Mommy, I love you don't leave me," He cries

"I'm so sorry baby I love you,"

My heart and mind were jumbled with thoughts of what the next weeks would bring. I don't want to let go of my baby who I carried for 9 months and raised and grew to love so much. However, I don't want to face the consequence of Taye not getting his way. I'm not able to do anything about this situation and I feel so helpless and small in a huge overwhelming world.

I look over at James who is sitting on the couch I walk over to his open arms and melt into him. My eyes blurring with tears my face stinging because of the salt "Everything's gonna be alright baby sooner or later you'll have your boy back in your arms just give it time there's no way the courts would let him take your baby away," James soothes me. I again realize that I'm so lucky to have such an amazing man in my life. "Just wait and see," he says as I lay my head in his chest.
