"Josiah's mother." She said .

I looked at her face and she didn't look familiar. " HIS STEP MOTHER---" She added. No wonder why I didn't see the resemblance . " Josiah's biological mother died , four years back . " She said . I was still speechless but she smiled at me. " I-- I'm Tor--" She stopped me and smiled. "Tori. I know , I've heard a lot about you. " I looked at her weird and picked up Jordan . "Come in .. . " I said slowly. She walked in , looked around the house and all the pictures I had on the wall and then took a seat.

"My husband , James . He told me about you and Josiah. I couldn't believe you guys used to be the best couple in the world. I didn't know he had a son though. " I sat down and awe and JoJo came onto my lap and laid on me . " You're probably wondering why I'm here. " I snicked a bit and rocked Jordan . "Well , Josiah is coming home from the military. " I looked at her weird and questioned , " The military gave his 3 years. He left right at 18. " I sighed and kept looking at her. "Anyway , Josiah's wife divorced him after she seen a problem. "

"I'm sorry , but I don't care for Josiah , anymore. That was in the past." I told her . She curled her lips and sighed , "I know , Tori. My husband & I are throwing a party at my house tomorrow. I really think you should be there so he could at least meet his son. " I sighed , " I'm not sure. " She scoffed , " You have to let the man see his son !" I laughed at her , " Considering he left while I was pregnant? Yeah. I'll think about it. " I told her. She stood up and looked at me , "I'm sorry for the inconvenience. "

"If you want to come , here's the address.Dress Fancy " She left a piece of paper on my table and left. I put Jordan asleep in his bed and went next door to Mya's house.

I knocked on her door , she opened and let me inside.

"It's late... What's up BabyG'?" She asked , yawning. I put my head down , " Josiah's mom just came to my house. " I told her , "Jordan's dad?" Mya asked and I nodded. She smacked her teeth , "What did she want , What did she say?" Mya asked , sitting next to me . " She invited me to her welcome home party for Josiah . She said he's in the military -- and -- and he divorced his wife -- and he wants to see his son ," I said , imitating her accent. Mya laughed at me , "Fuck him. He wasn't concerned when you were pregnant." My mouth dropped , "That's exactly what I said ! "

"You should still go though. Express your thoughts . Tell him how you felt about everything . Hopefully reality hits his dumbass and he'll spend some time with his son . " Mya said . I nodded , " I don't want to see him and then catch feelings for him all over again . I can't be stepped over again, Mya. I couldn't even give Bryce a chance ! " I told her.

" It'll be fine. Show him what he missed out on , Tori. "
