Lamaya is in her bedroom looking at the tv when she feel a small contraction "Ooo" she rubs that spot.

She hasn't spoken to Anthony since he slapped her, she never thought that he would lay a finger on her ever.

Lamaya puts on the camera on her cell phone to see her face she sees her cheek swollen & she tears up, Camilla peeks her head into her bedroom to see her mom crying she gets sad & goes into her bedroom she sits next to Brooklyn "Your the only friend I have right now Brooklyn, probably the only family" she says as she begins to cry "Mommy & daddy hate each other, we don't live in the same house anymore & my birthday was ruined I just want things to get better like before Brooklyn I shouldn't have walked in & mommy wouldn't have be mad at me, she hasn't said a word to me" she says to Brooklyn as she wipes her tears.

Brooklyn climbs on her lap & licks her cheek laying his head on her shoulder "I don't wanna stay here anymore Brooklyn. There's no reason to be in this house if there's no love anymore" she tells him.

Camilla grabs her backpack & starts throwing clothes in it & Brooklyn's chew toys "Come on Brooklyn we're leaving" she tells him as she picks him up & she goes downstairs she leaves the house.

Lamaya wakes up from her nap she scratches her head & she goes to Camilla's room to check on her & she doesn't see her "Camilla" she calls out no answer she tries not to panic "Maybe she's out in the back with Brooklyn" she says to herself as she goes out the back she sees the door is locked with the top lock & she rushes to the front door & doesn't see Camilla anywhere "Oh my god where is my baby girl!!" She says as she dials 911 Anthony's car pulls up she runs to him "Do you have Camilla" she says on verge of tears "No why what's going on?" He asks "I don't kno...." She stops when she feels a sharps pains kind of like labor pain "Ahhh!" She yells "What are you going into labor?" He asks as he is holding her "No I just felt some sharp pains" she tells him as she tries to stand up she feels them again "Ahhhhh!!" She yells out "Your going into labor I'm taking you to the hospital I don't care what you say" he says "No I'ma go look for my baby she's gone I don't know where she could be" she tells him as she holds her belly as she goes into the house grabbing her purse.

"Have you called the police?" He asks when he sees her calling them "Ok we will send out a car to you" she hangs up "You stay here in case she comes back" she tells him "How about you stay here & I'll go looking for her I'm sure she isn't far she's only 8 how far can she go?" He tells her as he gets in his car.

Camilla is walking with Brooklyn thought the beach when someone snatches Brooklyn "Hey! He's mine give him back!" She yells at the boy "No he's mine now your just a stupid little bitch isn't it past your bedtime" he says as he runs with Brooklyn trying to bit him Camilla runs after him as she is running after she looses sight of him "Brooklyn!!!!" She yells as she is about to cry "I'm so sorry Brooklyn" she says to herself as she continues to look for him.

Feeling scared & alone Camilla beings to cry & she sees something big coming her way she hides in an alley way behind bags of garage, when she hears a small dog crying "Brooklyn" she whispers loud enough him to hear "Come back you stupid dog" the boy yells from down the street as he is running after him Brooklyn jumps into Camilla's arms when the boy goes into the alley he doesn't see Brooklyn "Fucking stupid ass dog" he says as he leaves.

Camilla makes sure he leaves, she hug & kisses Brooklyn "I'm so sorry I didn't protect you I promise I won't let anything else bad happen to you" she tells him as he licks her cheek "Come on we're gonna go home" she tells him as she walks outta the alley way she looks around she doesn't know where she is "Brooklyn I think we're really lost" she tells him as they both start walking.
