Chapter 10

" Do you know where the keys to the keys are to the blue van ? The break and oil change ? " Tommy asked as he walked into the office where I was sitting working on some paper work .

I looked up at the wall where all the keys were hanging with the paper work attached to a clipboard .

" I'm going to take a guess and say right there . " I said as I pointed my pen in the direction of the wall .

" see you're a smart man that's why you run this place . " he said as he smirked grabbed the board and walked out .

" The fact my father owned it has nothing to do with anything . " I said mostly to myself .

It's been a hell of two days . Ever since I picked Rayanne up from her studio she's been distant I can't blame her but I thought after that the night at my place would have changed something , but it didn't . She's been even more distant since . She has deeper issues than just Jonathan , and I can't figure them out .

" Hey um I'm leaving just thought I'd say bye . " Rayanne said pulling me out of my own thoughts .

"

I looked at the clock it was already seven fifth teen , I knew she had a place to be . I stood up and walked to the doorway where she was . I leaned against the door while she stood right outside of it .

" Well I guess I'll see you later then ? " I said . I'm not really to sure what to say .

She nodded " Yeah , I'm going to pack my place up and move in with Becki for a while . " she said .

I nodded " alright well you have my number now if you need me . " I said .

I walked off after that , no reason for things to be anymore awkward . I headed towards the club house when a green Volvo pulled into the lot . I watched as a woman stepped out she was dressed in a business suite . She walked to the back of the car where she open the door and helped a little girl out of the car .

" Excuse me Miss can I help you ? " I asked as I walked closer .

" Yes sir . I need to find a Xavier Jones ? " she said as she checked her paperwork .

I raised an eyebrow . " That would be me " I said as I stepped closer .

" Yes sir we need to talk . There is a situation going on . " she said .

I nodded . " well we can talk inside in the meeting room . Just follow me . " I said

" Okay is there someone who can watch Aria ? while we have this meeting ? " She asked .

" I'll watch her . Come on sweetie let's go color . " My mom said as she took the little girl over to the table and grabbed some paper .

" What exactly is this about ? " I asked as the lady followed me to the meeting room in the club house .

" Well sir Aria's mother passed away a few days ago and you were on her birth certificate . " she said as we sat down at the table .

I gave a confused look .

" I'm sorry what's your name ? " I asked

" Oh I'm sorry I'm Betsy Wither . Child services . " she said .

" And who is Aria's mother ? " I asked .

" Rebecca Westen . " She said .

My Jaw dropped .

My first and only relationship .

The woman I broke .

She never told me .

My head was spinning how could she have not told me ? How could she leave and know she was carrying our child ?

" Xavier ? " she asked .

I looked up . " Yeah ? " I asked .

" Are you okay ? " she asked .

" Honestly I'm a little confused . I never knew about her . " I said .

She nodded .

" Well that's why I'm here . Rebecca left a whole folder for you , explaining everything . If you'd like to read it here it is but why I'm here is because Aria needs to be placed with her father today or she will be put into foster care, and once that happens she will belong to the state and you won't be able to get her back . " she said .

I nodded " Alright . Do I need to sign anything ? " I asked .

She looked shocked .

" Yes a few papers and then Aria is yours . " she said with a smile .

She laid the papers out for me to sign . I signed each one quickly .

" Now that's done . There are a few folders I need to give you . This red folder is about Aria's health history any trips to the doctors , hospital , even medication she's been given in her life are all here . The green folder is about her education. Her grades , where she is in her schooling and anything along those lines . Purple folder is any information you'd need to contact me for any reason . A copy of your paper work from just now too . And this folder . " she said as she held the closed package like folder in her hand .

" This is everything Rebecca has saved for you over the last seven years . I didn't look inside I just know what I was told to do with it . " she said as she slid all the folders over to me .

I nodded . " Thank you . I appreciate you coming here to do this . "

She smiled " Honestly I didn't think you'd want to take her . Nothing against you but the fathers usually just have the children thrown into the system . " she said .

" Yeah well That's not happening here . " I said with a smile .

I walked Betsy out to her car . Where she handed me Aria's thing out of the trunk .

" Aria . " She called for her . Aria came running over in her pink sundress , her blonde curly hair pinned back and a big smile on her face . she looked just like her mother .

" Alright Aria , This is your dad . You're going to be staying with him now . He's got all your things and you're all set to live with your dad . " she said .

Aria nodded and smiled . " Thank you for bringing me to my daddy . " she said as she hugged Betsy . My heart stopped . She knew who I was .

" You're welcome sweet girl . Call me if you need anything okay ? "

Aria nodded and stepped closer to me and grabbed my hand .

I looked down at this little girl with the biggest smile on my face , she looked up at me with the same one . 

If things didn't just get harder in my life .
