After leaving Chris's house I dropped London off at home with Tiffany and I was on my way to take Armani to see this psychiatrist her doctors recommended but first I had to pick up her father, oh and I had to go play nice for this interview his publicists set up for him, Armani, and I. I drove across town to Ashley's where I picked up August and then to the psychiatrist.
I walked into her office followed by August and Armani. I really didn't want to be here but it was recommended over the phone that both her father and mother be present during the session to help all of us process this tragedy.
"Hello, Ms.Lawerence and Mr.Alsina. Im Dr.Englnd and my colleague Dr.Stewart will be joining us shortly." She said shaking our hands.
"Now is it okay if I place Armani in this room to play while I speak to the two of you."
"Of course." I answered. I watched as she opened the door and showed Armani the room filled with toys. "And Mom and Dad you can follow me this way."
We followed behind her into a room next door. I sat down on the couch, next to August, that faced two chairs.
"Okay, Dr.Stewart will be joining us any second. I want to start by just asking a few questions."
I nodded.
"How old are you?"
"24" "25"
"How old is Armani?"
"4"
"Are you guys still together?"
"No." I turned my head towards the door once I heard another females voice. "Their file says they aren't." she spoke again .
"Im Dr.Stewart." She spoke I guess she could see the confusion on my face. "Nice to meet you."
"Nice to meet you." I responded. She sat down quietly next to her co-worker but I noticed August hasn't taken his eyes off of her since she'd walked into the room. Which would be unlike August to not notice when a beautiful woman walked into a room.
"So to began we always like to tell our clients about ourselves to make you feel a little more comfortable and open up more. So to began I'm Dr.Patricia England. I've been in the profession for about 20 years. I met Nia about 10 years ago and we've owned this business together for about five years now."
"Im Dr.Nia Stewart. I've been in the business for about fifteen years now. Im more of a child and adolescent psychologist and Dr.England works more with adults. She asked me to sit in on this session because of the tragedy you guys went through therefore you would feel more comfortable with me working closely with your daughter." I nodded.
"So do either of you guys have any goals you want to accomplish from the sessions " Dr. England spoke once again. "
"I just want to have a good relationship with a my child's mother. I know she blames me for what happened and she can say she doesn't all day but she can't even look me in my face. Let alone be in the same room as me. I just need her to know I never meant for any of this to happen I could take everything back if I would." August answered.
I slightly rolled my eyes because I've heard this I'm sorry, I've changed, and this wont happen again speech over and over and over again.
"Eva? Is there anything you want to say?" Dr.England questioned.
"I just want to make sure my daughter is good mentally." I gave a simple answer.
"Okay......well is it fine if I go into the next room to speak with Armani?"
I nodded. "Dad, Can you introduce me to Armani to make her feel comfortable with me?" Dr.Stewart said standing from her chair.
::August::
I got up from my chair and followed Nia out of the office and into the hall. Once the door close she spoke.
