illicit Love

Chapter Four

Miranda POV

As I walked in the house, Jermaine was laying on the couch watching tv.

"Hey babe, how did everything go?" He asked me as I set my stuff on the table.

"Well, we didn't get her but, we have a opportunity too"

He sat up and looked at me confused.

"What do you mean we have an opportunity too?" He asked.

"I talked some since into that bitch and she said that she will give us supervised visits for 3 days and if everything goes well, we can have her back"

He started smiling from ear to ear! He ran over to me and hugged me.

"Baby!! We're gonna get our baby girl back" He said.

I pulled back a little. "Well, we don't know that for sure. But we have a very good chance of getting her back."

"Baby, we're gonna get her back. What could possibly go wrong?" He asked

"Jermaine, something always goes wrong.. All I'm saying is it's okay to have hope but, don't get your hopes up."

He looked at me confused. "Miranda, what's wrong with you? Your not acting like yourself."

"I'm fine" I said.

He raised his eyebrow at me. "No your not"

"Yes I am" I said annoyed

He wrapped his arms around my waist. "Don't use that tone with me missy". We both laughed. "Miranda I know you, and you're not acting like yourself so you might as well tell me what's going on because I'm not dropping this".

*Sigh* "I ran into Niko at the child services place."

He pulled away from me a little. "You thinking about taking him back or something?"

"Nooo! Hell no!"

"Oh" He said in relief. "Well if you don't want him back then what's the problem?"

"Well, I mean we were talking and I basically told him I was gonna focus on building our family and he said some things that concern me."

He raised his eyebrows again. "Well what did he say?"

I walked into the kitchen trying to avoid it him.

"Miranda, what did he say? Don't get this Nigga killed!" He said as he followed me.

"Well first let's start with the fact that you left me while I was pregnant. You never told me why you did that."

He started scratching his head. "Are we really bringing this up?"

"Yes we are! I want to build a family with you but before we do that, I need to know why you left me while I was pregnant? I mean, how do I know your not gonna run off again?" I said.

"Miranda I had no choice! I just broke out of jail, I couldn't just hang around here. I would've gotten caught and you would've been raising Symire alone for the rest of your life. I did what I had to do"

It was silent for a minute.. "Jermaine I understand you couldn't hang around here but you could've took me with you! We could've moved out of this town and raised Symire somewhere else but instead you just left me hear alone. How do you think that made me feel?"

"I couldn't take you with me, I don't want my daughter living an on the run life. Honestly, if I took you with me, that pastor and his wife would've found you which mean I would've went back to jail. Like I said I did what I had to do but I'm here now." He said

I chuckled. "But your here now? The only reason your back, is because of Niko. If I had never called Niko and told him I was having Symire, if Niko had never brought you along, you would not be here!"

I could tell he was starting to get pissed. "Miranda, I'm not fina keep saying the same shit to you over and over! What did you think was fina happen? I was gonna get away then come back to a town where I'm wanted? It wasn't gonna happen. Now, I did plan on getting in contact with you once I was on my feet but I wasn't even on my feet yet when I was in New York .. I was selling drugs! Let's face it, you weren't gonna hear from me in a while"

Okay, he's right. Maybe I'm over reacting. "Alright, your right.. But that's not what Niko said that concerned me.. That's just something I needed to get off my chest."

He raised his eyebrows again. "If that's not what concerned you then what did?"

I sighed. "Well, I questioned why he was up there tryna talk to Mrs Louis and he got really upset and told me to worry about Symire, you, and not getting kidnapped.."

"Not getting kidnapped? What the fuck he mean not getting kidnapped? And I know he not threatening Symire!"

"I don't know" I said. "I'm just very worried."

He kissed me on my forehead. "Don't worry about it baby girl. Ima call up trey and T and we gone handle this. Just go down to the store and get that crib I ordered"

I kissed his lips. "See you when I get back."
