Onika's Anatomy

Salon Gossip

Onika POV
A few weeks later

Rumi blew out the candles. "HAPPY BIRTHDAY MOMMY!"

Papa snapped his neck at her. "No Rumi mommy pose' to make her wish!"

"Yea! Rumi mean!" Sir egged him on.

Beyoncé just sat there with Sir in her lap, and for the first time she smiled in a long time. There wasn't a lot to smile about. The hearing today definitely didn't go in our favor. This judge was strict, a real pilar of the law. He made it clear that he knew Beyoncé's tactics from jump and solicitation was something he did not take lightly.

Today was the first day we've seen Blue since she was removed from our home. She looked like she was in space when they ruled full custody in Ciara's favor. It was agreed upon that we would get one weekend out the entire month. In return Beyoncé would cover child support expenses that was awarded $350,000 a month. I found it absolutely ridiculous but I guess by the smile on Ciara's face said got exactly what she wanted.

We were only allowed twenty minutes with Blue. The entire time her and Beyoncé hugged and cried together. She was remorseful for what she did, but even more so because of the text messages revealed her calling Beyoncé a bitch.

We tried pulling out the receipts that Ciara had Blue in a night club. But apparently their 'camera's' weren't working. We asked Jaime and Kiara's if they could testify to it. But their parents completely denied that their daughters would do such things . And they basically denied even being friends with Blue.

Rumi watched the cake intently as Beyoncé cut into it. "Mommy I'm getting the first piece of cake right?"

"You all are..." Beyoncé stated cutting the slice into three pieces.

"That's not special! I'm suppose to get the first piece!!! I'm the princess!" Rumi fussed.

Beyoncé sighed with frustration. I could tell Rumi was about to take her there, so I came over and grabbed her.

"Eat your cake so we can get ready for bed." I said putting her in her own chair.

"I'm going to head to bed." Beyoncé said getting up. The kids watched her walk off without another word.

"Why mommy sad? It's her burthday." Papa asked.

Rumi turned to him licking the icing off her fingers. "Cause Blue went to jail for jumping out the window."

"Stop saying that." I grilled her.

She shrugged her shoulders finishing her cake. I heard the keys to the front door and in came Tina, Solo and Lauren?

My eyes automatically touched the ceiling. My attitude was evident because all the times I reached out she ignored me. But yet she's here in my house. I kept cool because we dealt with enough drama today . Tina placed the balloons and expensive gifts bags on the counter.

"Hey Onika, where is Juju?" Tina asked.

"She just went to bed, she didn't want to wait to cut the cake." I said pointing at the cake.

She sighed. "That child of mine. I don't like how she's letting this custody battle get to her. She's throwing herself into working these extensive hours, barely sleeping." Tina shook her head cutting into the cake.

"Tell me about it. " I said running my hands down my face.

Solange came up behind me giving me a hug. "It's going to be okay Nika, what is going to happen from here?"

"Well... They got her to agree to one weekend every month. She really tried it, asking for supervised visitation. Our lawyer knocked that request down real quick."
