After the birth of Freddie, we were supposed to get a DNA test. Some of the boys left the state so we ended up not doing it, and Louis left also. Days went by and Louis didn't even call to check on his child, so I decided to take action.

"I'm coming to see me lad for a little bit." Louis said through the phone. I sighed.

"I'm afraid that won't be fit." I said. There was a long pause on the phone.

"What do you mean?" Louis asked. I heard a girl's voice ask what's happening in the background.

"You'd rather be out with your whores than with your son, that's what I mean!" I shouted. Suddenly Freddie began crying in my arms. "Hush...." I whispered as I rocked him.

Ashley came over and retrieved the baby from my hands and walked into the nursery to care for him.

"You can't just do that, you can't stop me from seeing me son!" He said angrily with his thick accent.

"Watch me." I sighed and hung up the phone. Two days later I got a court notification in the mail telling me Louis would be taking me to court.

"I told you to watch out for him." Ashley sighed. "Just ask for more child support if he won't physically take care of Freddie. It's not fair that you're doing EVERYTHING!"

"Louis pays the rent for this house... He bought diapers and the crib and clothing..." I told Ashley and she shook her head.

"And those diapers have run out, the clothing he bought is all for newborns which won't fit by next month, the baby food is done and it will be only a matter of time until he gives up on the house rent." Ashley said with her hands on her hips. "Mom can't be the only one helping you, she has a child of her own."

"I know, it's just scary. I never wanted it to be a situation where he hates me." I sighed and a tear an down my cheek.

"It doesn't matter about how he feels for you anymore, Bri. It's about whether or not Freddie will have a good life." Ashley told me. I looked into the crib Freddie laid in and he looked up at me. I stuck my finger inside and he reached out and held onto it.

"They ask me how I knew... My true love was true... I.... I of course replied... Something here inside.... Cannot be denied..." Danielle sang on stage. Danielle was my new girlfriend, an actress who appears on The Originals. She sang at a small exclusive celebrity bar, it was karaoke night. She sang the song Smoke Gets In Your Eyes.

"Another drink?" The young, beautiful waitress who wore a tight, black dress asked.

"Yes, please." I said as I kept my eyes on the stage.

"They said someday you'll find, all who love are blind... Blind... When your hearts on fire... You must realize... Smoke gets in your eyes." Danielle sang.

Suddenly my phone buzzed in my pocket and I pulled out my huge iPhone 6 Plus to look at my notification. I looked at the screen and it was a text from Briana.

From: Briana

I see you've been out with someone new. I guess that means we are no longer a thing. I'll see you in court.

I felt a pang in my heart, I loved Briana and I loved my son, it was just too much change in my life going on at once for me to properly cope.

In result, I ran back to ol' Britain to have a few beers and be with my new woman. Danielle sadly was the jump off, as beautiful as she was, she sadly reminded my of my ex Eleanor, who is the only woman in my life I've ever loved to the fullest.

"So I chaffed them, and I gaily laughed.... To think they could doubt our love... And yet today, my love has gone away, I am without my love..."

One particular line, when the song said 'I am without my love' pointed out to me. I needed love in my life, I've lost Briana and Freddie, and I was willing to fight for my son but Briana seemed to be a lost cause. So I knew exactly to do...

Get back Eleanor.

"Now... Laughing friends deride... Tears I cannot hide... So I smile and say... When a lovely flame dies... Smoke gets in your eyes..." Danielle sang as she held onto the microphone. The background singers on the stage sang smoke gets in your eyes... Repeatedly.

I walked up to the stage and looked up at her. She smiled down at me, and I left a wad of money on the stage.

"Smoke... Gets... In... Your...." Danielle said as with each word she went up a note. "Eyes..."

As she strongly sang the word eyes with her own eyes closed, I stuffed my hands in my pockets and walked out of that night club. Danielle and I were over beginning from that moment.
