You're The Reason

Told You So

(LaNiyah, Cruz, and Kayvion)

LaNiyah's POV

I was sitting in my office at the dance studio looking over some paperwork when there was a knock at the door.

"Come in."

The door opened and in walked Cruz and Kayvi, making me smile.

"And what do I owe this visit?" I said getting up and taking Kayvi out of his carseat.

"Hi Bam Bam. How's God mommy's juicy man?" I said in a baby voice causing him to give me this big gummy smile.

Cruz plopped down in the chair and sighed. I looked over at him as I sat back in my seat with Bam in my lap.

"What's wrong?"

He threw some papers on my my desk, "that bitch left and signed over her rights. And then had the nerve to say that he ain't mine!" he yelled, causing Bam to jump a little.

I took the papers and read over a hand-written note:

Cruz,

I can't handle being a mother. I thought I could handle it but it's just too much for me. I'm not fit for this and I'm not happy. Around the time I got pregnant I had slept with someone else. At first I I had my doubts, and as the weeks had gone on I started to noticed features that just didn't belong to you or me. What I'm trying to say is, Kayvion is not your son. I didn't know how to tell you and I did't want to tell you in person because I knew you would be upset and probably try to choke the shit out of me, so I thought this was the best and safest way.

I have signed all my parental rights over to you. I think that Kayvion will be in the best care with you. The way you care for him and love him I know that he'll be straight. I never meant to hurt you and I really cared for you but I just can't do this. Kayvion is over Black's house with him and his wife.

Take care of yourself and please take care of Kayvion.

I hope one day you'll be able to forgive me.

Bianca.

I put the note down and looked up at Cruz who had his head in his hands. I then looked at Bam who had his hands in his mouth staring at me, oblivious to what was going on. I couldn't believe this bitch really just up and left her child and then had the nerve to say that he wasn't Cruz's son. Like what kind of shit is that?

"You were right man. This whole time you were trying to tell me about her foul ass and I didn't believe you. Even my sister was trying to tell me and I ain't listen"

"That doesn't matter right now. What matters is this little boy right here. What are you going to do?"

He looked at Bam as Bam starred back at him as if he knew Cruz was staring at him.

"I don't know man. I love this kid like he's mine and to find out that he's not. I don't know man."

"And then she fucking signed over her rights. She waited a whole fucking month and a half to do this shit. Like where the fuck is he going to go? She ain't got no fucking family. I'm all he knows man"

I walked over to him and handed him Bam as I put my hand over his shoulder.

"What does your heart tell you?" I could tell he was hurting.

"To keep him"

"Then follow your heart. Like you said you're all he knows and you're all he has. This is your son no matter what the DNA says."

"You right, but I want to get a DNA test done too, just to make sure"

"Turn in the papers that Bianca signed. You never know what the system may try to do if you do it after the test and it shows that he ain't yours. And contact your lawyer."
