Unknown POV.
"ICE CWEAM ICE CWEAM!
This little boy surely was an active one.
I had taken him to get pizza, ice cream and now he wanted more.
My mind wandered to Treyvon.
Was he okay?
A tinge of guilt hit me but I shook it off. I didn't want to hurt him that bad enough for him to need surgery.
Things were going according to plan, it was suppose to be this way.
I hadn't intended on Lusha fucking up the way she did, but hey, any help is help right?
Treyvon Jr pulled on my pant leg to get my attention.
"Yes sweetie?"
"Can we go back to momma and Auntie Wee?"
"Not yet honey, Mommy will come get you later okay? We're going to have fun until she does.
He simply nodded and reached up the hold my hand.
Children were so gullible.
The thought of Treyvon and I being family made m heart feel warm.
And his son would be our perfect child.
I would raise him better than that bitch ever could.
I would love him so much, he wouldn't remember her.
God hadn't blessed me with the ability to have children of my own, unfortunately, and having Treyvon Jr with me was a sign.
A sign from God.
I was meant to raise this child.
All I needed was for Trey to be alright and come to his senses and realize he still cares about me, despite how much Lusha brainwashed him.
"Hey wady, what's chur name?"
Junior said suddenly, snapping me out of my thoughts.
I smiled and bent down to pick him up and kiss his cheek.
"My name is Nicki."
Reverie's POV.
Seeing Lusha this broken down really hit me hard.
She was my best friend and I couldn't help her through this.
I felt helpless.
Mikah had gone to get her something to eat but Lusha denied it when she came back.
"You need to eat Lush." I told her. "Think about your baby."
"I can't...." She mumbled with head in her hands.
"Lusha, I know you're feeling upset beyond words but don't risk your child's health over it." Walson spoke up from behind me.
His hands were resting on my shoulder, in an attempt to relax my nerves which helped, a little.
She put her head up and looked in my direction.
Her tear stained face and messy hair made her look like utterly helpless.
"I'm fine Walley." She said, with a short fake smile.
"Give it to Junior, he mi.... Where's my son?"
She looked around.
Mikah, Shantel and I looked around the large waiting room but to no avail.
"He might have gone looking around."
Jason said .
I had a bad feeling.
Junior is a curious child, yes but he is too attached to his mother to ever wander far for too long.
"I'll go look for him." I said and Lusha nodded, putting her head in her hands again.
"I'm coming with you." Shantel said.
I nodded and we left the room.

Shantel and I had separated to cover more ground to look.
Neither of us had seen Junior and I was worried as fuck.

I was now near the hospital entrance and I decided to ask the receptionist if she had seen anything.
"Hello, um I'm looking for my nephew. He wandered off and I wanted to know if you've seen him."
I held up my phone towards her, showing her a picture I had taken of Trey and I .
She glanced up lazily at me and blew up a bubble with a piece of gum she was chewing before popping it.
"Did you not hear me?"
I swear this bitch is about to make me turn up on her ugly ass..
"Do I look like I pay attention to kids?" She said with an attitude.
Oh hell to the NO.
"Look bitch, its a simple yes or no and if your rabid, tired ass don't answer me, my nephew won't be the only one missing."
Her eyes widened and she picked up the phone, speaking into it briefly.
Shortly, a petite woman who I assumed was either another nurse or receptionist came up to us.
"She might be able to tell you. I just started my shift." The heifer said as I shot her a stale look.
Hi, my name is Raven, what can I help you with?"
Finally, this one isn't a ratchet.
"Hello, um my nephew is probably wandering around here somewhere and I wanted to know if you'd seen him. I asked that barbaric whale over there but she was as useless as my dead cat." I nodded my head towards the other heifer.
Raven stifled to hold back a laugh and covered it with a cough.
"Do you have a picture?"
I showed her.
"Oh he's not here."
I frowned.
"What do you mean he's not here?"
"He left with a young woman a while ago" she pointed towards the large glass door. "She told me he was her son and the child showed no sign of distress so I didn't think anything of it."
I dropped my phone and stared at her.
"Her son? Girl, that boy's mother is upstairs."
She covered her mouth with her hand and gasped.
I picked up my phone and rushed outside.
Who the Fuck would randomly walk off with someone else's child and say it's their own?
My head hurt.
Lusha is going to have a fit..
Aw fuck.
Lord, please let that little boy be okay.
