Odell
I walked into the house slowly massaging my forehead. This is all too much to process.. Walking over to the couch I sat down next to Dom, to see that he was doing his homework.
"Buddy.. You're doing that wrong.." I sighed.
"So?" He shrugged scribbling on.
I shook my head.
Ciara came over from the kitchen and stood infront of me.
"Yes..?" I asked squinting my eyes.
"Um.. My aunt Jen is coming to visit New York and is gonna stay at my grams. I'm just letting you know that I'll be staying there for a few days."
"Okay?" I laughed turning on the tv.
"And Dom and Destiny are coming with me," she quickly said. "They said they want to."
This makes my plan even easier..
"Go ahead. Stay as long as you need to baby." I said standing, giving her a quick peck on the lips.
She furrowed her eyebrows before walking away.
Walking into the kitchen I pulled my phone out of my pocket dialing a number.
"Yeah," I whispered. "You can come over in a hour. Okay. See you then."
Hanging up the phone I quickly turned around at the sound of Dom's voice.
"Who was that?" He asked crossing his arms.
"Just uncle Jarv, boy." I laughed patting his head before walking away.
Valerie
"Okay.. See you soon."
I hung up and look back at Keith.
"What'd she say?" He said sliding his shirt over his head.
"They're coming!! Oh my God, I'm so excited. They should be here in a couple minutes." I said beginning to straighten things up.
"Whoa, baby calm down." Keith laughed grabbing my waist pulling me back. "Someone is anxious."
"Just to think that this time, this final time, I can get my son back. I'm really happy." I said as a tear slipped from my tear.
Keith wiped it away kissing me.
"I'm happy for you." He smiled before frowning. "Wait.. If Odell goes to jail, where will Destiny go?"
"Ciara will keep her most likely."
"You're not gonna take her in?" He asked. "I mean her and Dom are SUPER close, it'd be bad to take them apart.."
"I know but.. I don't want- I can't care for her." I quickly covered up.
"Okay.."
Suddenly the door rang.
I ran to it swinging it open.
Lifting Dom up I smothered him in kisses.
"I missed you my baby!!"
"I missed you too my mommy!!"
Putting him down, I greeted Ciara and Destiny as well.

"So once this is all over are you guys going back to California?" Ciara asked sipping her drink.
"That's the plan," I said. "I can't afford to keep paying for this hotel room."
"So the are kids going with you?" She asked.
"Yes, Dom is." I answered.
She quickly furrowed her eyebrows shaking her head.
"Does that mean you're gonna separate them? Because that's not fucking right."
I chuckled lightly.
"And that's NOT my child. You can take care of her can't you?" I smartly replied.
"I can, and I will. But, are you forgetting that Elijah IS my stepson? You can't just completely keep him from me.."
"I'M TIRED OF THIS SHIT!" I yelled. "I don't CARE how you feel about this and that! HE is my son and what I do with him is MY business! I don't need your input! You know what? Get out!"
"Excuse me?!" She gasped.
"GET. THE. FUCK. OUT!"
She shook her head standing up.
"Hmm.. Okay Valerie. I see how it is. I will be back and it won't be pretty." She laughed before leaving.
I sighed rubbing my head, turning to go to the bed, I found Dom standing behind me.
Shaking.
"Are you mad..?" He asked quietly.
I rushed to him shaking my head.
"No baby! I'm sorry.. I'm just alittle stressed.."
"You.. You made my mommy leave.. How could you?!" He suddenly yelled.
Did he really just say that?
