Our Journey

Scars

Fatima. "Zac who is it" Fatima says for a second time noticing Zac hasn't moved from his stance by the door.

Zac Huffs while staring at the person that showed up at his house.

Zac. Just come in he says annoyed
"You have got to be kidding me right now" he mumbles.
He steps back allowing the person to enter and everyone is looking at them.
The room is quiet..

Fatima. Zac .. honey .. who is this what's going on?
Fatima asks while looking at the woman who has entered their home dimming the energy in the house

Zac is rubbing his head in frustration while Lori and Liam stare at a distance not sure what to make of the situation

Zac. This is Zena.. Zac says plainly introducing her to the room

Fatima's looks of concern instantly turns to somber as she hears the woman's name, she knows who Zena is she just never saw her

Fatima then looks over at Zac as tears begin to fill her eyes. Zac sees the pain in her face so he walks over to her, grab her hand and removes the two of them from the living room to go upstairs ..
Zac was just trying to get Fatima away from Zena because he wasn't sure which of her fight or flight instincts would kick in next

-Zena is a young 18 year old beautiful brown skin girl. She's still standing in the living room with Lori and Liam but Lori can't stand in silence anymore

Lori. Hi I'm Loryn this is my husband Liam we are really good friends of the family..
If you don't mind me asking, who are you?

Zena. Hi it's nice to meet you both, I'm Zena .. Zac's little sister and Jaxson's mother

Lori now upset realizing why Zac pulled Fatima away so fast. She knows how much her best friend loves Jaxson and she knows Fatima is going to take this hard if the woman is here to get him back.

Lori can't help but feel anger surfacing inside her because she too has built a relationship with Jaxson and she's pissed that his mom just popped up out of no where after all these months

Lori. If I may ask-

Liam. No babe let's not..

Liam already knows how Lori can be. Lori is protective over the kids especially her god kids she don't play about them she don't care if this woman is Jaxson's mom .. Liam turns Lori's face so she can look at him in his eyes. He can tell by her demeanor she is now beginning to get emotional too

Liam. It's okay baby just look at me

Lori tried her best to hold back tears but she couldn't stop them from falling .. Liam wiped them away he then walked her away from the living room to calm her down

Meanwhile upstairs Fatima is sobbing, she hasn't stopped crying since she left the living room already assuming Zena is there to get Jaxson.
Fatima is sitting on the edge of the bed crying and Zac is pacing back and forth still not sure how to handle  everything

Fatima. She can't have him Zac she can't just take him from us Fatima says through her tears

Zac. But she can baby, she can just take him because he's legally hers we have no right to tell her no

Fatima. But how can she do that to him and us. Zac he's happy here our family isn't complete without him I don't care if we don't share the same blood he's my son he's my baby

Zac. I know Ti and I'm so sorry this is happening if we try to keep him she's going to flip out trust me I know her

Fatima. But he's sleeping, can she just wait a little longer please can you tell her to wait I just need one more night with him.
Zac go tell her he cant go!
