Fantasia's POV

I was preparing dinner for the kids and I decided to call Dallas down I had let him have his cool off time but now it was time to talk I needed him to know and understand where I coming from and why I told him no.

"Dallas!" I yelled out taking off my apron sitting it to the side

"Coming!" He yelled back and soon enough he was making his way to the kitchen where I was "yes ma'am?" He asked as he stood in front of me

"Come over here and take a seat I want to talk to you about earlier" I said and we both made our way to the table and sat down

"Why couldn't I go with Panda she would keep me safe and she wouldn't let me do anything I'm not supposed to" he said

"Dallas you know there is never a problem for you to go with Taraji and you also know that you were never supposed to go with your uncle to wherever he took you" I told him

"He said I would find out someday and he would rather me learn from him he said I was old enough now to understand"

"Dallas that is not on your uncle to decide for you I kept y'all away from that for a reason that is not what you should do with your life there are far more other things to do and you just started middle school you are not old enough to be around that!" I told him and I realized I was getting worked up and raising my voice so I took a deep breath to calm down I don't ever want my kids to feel like they can't have a conversation with me without me yelling I went through that to much with my father and I was not passing that trauma onto my kids

"But isn't it my decision on if I want to or not look at Cel he stays safe but still does things he even told me he started learning about it at my age maybe younger" he said

"When you get older yes it's your decision but right now it's mines and I don't want you to be apart of that life. You and Marcel are two different people with two different parents and different experiences" I told him

"I'm not a little boy anymore you can't just keep me from my birthright, yeah Uncle Lance told me that when he steps down then I'll be in charge. And maybe then I'll be able to see Panda more because you can't get her to stick around anymore." He rushed out and ran back up to his room slamming the door and I sat there shocked I would have expected that anyone else but Dallas. Old me would have went and snatched him up and knocked his teeth down his throat then beat him but I could tell there was another underlying cause behind all of that so I just let him have it for now and decided to call Lance because he was definitely about to hear my mouth

I got up walking back to the kitchen and grabbed my phone off the counter unlocking it and going straight to his number and it rung two times before he answered "Hello?" I said
