An unexpected Surprise

Chapter 3

Desmond's POV

I think I'm dying. Literally, raising that baby has taken every single piece of strength out of me. All Jazmine did was cry, eat, and shit. And it's only been two hours. Ever since I took her away from Mya she's been crying non stop and I have half a mind to call Mya and let her come over here and take Jazmine but I won't let her see me in defeat.

"Will you stop crying!" I yelled and the room got quiet before she started wailing louder. I did not sign up for this. Someone knocked on the door and relieved I all but ran to the door and swung it open only to be face by another easter basket. There better not be another baby in there. I lifted it up cautiously and was relieved when there was only some paperwork and a note.

Jazmine is all yours now

Inside were custody papers saying that Kelly Thorne waa giving away all her custody to Jazmine to me. Kelly Thorne. My ex girlfriend. I read over the information saying I now had full custody and other information like what her allegies were and her birthday.

Full Name: Jazmine Love Harter

Birthday: December 24th

Born: Atlanta Civic Hospital, 9 Pounds

I read over some more as I grabbed her banana and strawberry rice cereal and prepared it for her. I placed the food in front of her making sure to cool it before giving her some and she immediately stopped crying and began coughing.

"Oh come on, it can't be that bad" I spooned some out for myself to try it and it tasted like strawberrys and Bananas. Wait a minute. I quickly grabbed the sheet with her allergies.

Allergies: Bananas, Strawberries, and Pineapples

Fuck!

I picked up the coughing Jazmine and quickly ran out the door and across the street to Mya's house. I started banging on the door praying she was home. Answer Mya, Answer!

Mya's POV

Earlier that day

I watched as Desmond walked out with Jazmine and it felt like I was losing a piece of me.

"Hey are you okay Mya?" My manager asked and putting on my smiling mask, I smiled.

"Yup! Let's get this money!"

"That's the spirit"

Back to present

"Are you seriously telling me this guy left his child at home and was mad at you! I should call child services on his ass!" Kayla yelled and I could only shake my head

"Don't. He's a new father"

"Oh don't give him your sympathy, he doesn't deserve it". Before I could respond, a loud and repetitive knock on my door interrupted me.

"That's probably Shante's late ass"

"Right" I stood up and headed to the door and once I opened it, I was more than surprised to see Desmond and immediately anger hit me. "You have some damn nerve coming over here after the way you treated me!"

"Mya"

"Don't Mya me! Not only did I take your child to my work place after you forgot her at home, I even made sure she was well taken care of. I should be called child services on your ungrateful ass!"

"Mya"

"And another th---"

"Mya! There's something wrong with Jazmine" immediately all the anger I had washed away and I quickly took Jazmine from him. She looked pale and she wouldn't stop coughing.
