I'm out shopping at Target with my daughter Ella who is doll crazy. She wants me to have a baby so she can be a big sister, but since I have split up from Ella's dad that won't be happening anytime soon. Holding my hand I feel Ella tug at me
"Momma can we get some candy?"
"Hmm a little but your not going to eat it all tonight ok?"
"Ok momma" I push the cart down the isle and see Ella's dad
"YN?" I try to turn the cart around but he stops it "so this is my baby"
"No she's my baby. You chose to leave us"
"Momma who's that?"
"I'm your daddy, come here" he opens his goes to take my daughters hand, one thing you do not do is mess with a mom and her baby
"Don't touch her" I pick Ella up
"Aww mommy's being selfish, she wants you all to herself" I hold her tighter to me
"You know full well that you are not allowed contact with her or me so leave" Ella's dad tries to take her out my arms causing a scene where my daughter is crying. He's got hold of her wrist which scares me to death
"Mummy no he's hurting me mummy get him off"
"Hey I don't know who you are or what the circumstances are but that little girl is scared and is saying you are hurting her so I suggest you let her go and you turn around now before I arrest you for harassment" I look over to see a two guys walking over one of them holding up a badge to show that he is a cop
"Who's this your new boyfriend I always knew you were a slut. The kids probably not even mine" he turns away and I sigh while Ella is crying in my arms
"Are you ok?" The cop asks me
"Momma he hurt me" Ella cries into my neck
"Want me to take a look? I'm a Doctor at Chicago Med" before I can respond Ella sticks her arm out that hurts "I'm Will by the way. This is my brother Jay"
"YN. And this is Ella. Thank you for helping us"
"It's all part of the job"
"I'm fwee years old"
"So your a big girl then?" Will says, he's kinda cute but I got my daughter to look after "well I think your wrist will be ok, but maybe your mom can put some ice on it when you get home
"I will thank you again for what you did"
"Momma can we get a doll?"
"No not today baby"
"Hopefully we will see you around" Jay says waving

Ella and I continue shopping
"Ok Ella do you want chocolate crunch or cinnamon crunch?" when Ella doesn't respond I turn around, panic settling in "Ella? Ella?"
Abandoning my cart I start running down all the isles. Finally I find her in the arms of Will also looking down isles
"Will she's over here" Jay calls his brother noticing my panicked face
"Ella!" I run over to Will and take her from him "thank you. Ella please don't do that again"
"I'm sowy momma I just wanted a dolly" taking in a deep breath I put her in the cart and look back at Will and Jay "I'm so sorry if she bothered you, but thank you for bringing her back"
"No not at all she's cute. So this may seem odd but I was wondering whether I could get your number?" I blush
"Erm sure" I get out my phone and give him my number
"I'll text you" he says as he puts his phone in his pocket I smile at him
"Will are you going to ask my mummy for food?" Ella asks causing all of us to laugh
"You know what I might. And maybe you could come with us?"
"Momma can we?"
"Maybe one day but for now we need to go find our food and pay for it"
"Ok momma"
"See you soon YN, Ella Jay ruffles her hair "don't run off again like that I think you scared your momma"
"I sowy"
"I know baby I know you are"
