"She's gonna need a blood transfusion because of the amount of blood loss. Since she is a female, she will have a higher risk because females have a smaller volume of blood"He said.
"I'll do it"My mom said before Andrew could get a word in.
"Ok ma'a...
"I'm just happy your moving in with me"He said putting his arm around my waist as I pushed the cart.
"You here that zen. We're moving in with dom"I said pecking her nose.
"Stop!"She said pushing my face away making me laugh.
"Want daddy"She said reaching out.
"He's not here"
"Daddy"She screamed crying.
"Zenobia calm down"I said picking her up.
"No!"She yelled.
"FaceTime Quincy please"I told dom and he nodded grabbing my phone out my purse.
"Jayda"I heard Quincy's voice.
"Quincy"I said grabbing my phone and showing zen him.
"Wassup lil mama"He said making her stop crying and smile.
"When are you going to pick her and Thea up?"I asked as zen began to lay on my shoulder.
"I'll be over in an hour. I'm handling business right now"
"Your always handling business"I rolled my eyes.
"Don't play Jayda. You know what I do now bye"He said hanging up.
"You want me to hold her, she's sleep"Dom said and I nodded giving zen to him.
"Jayda"I heard a familiar voice call making me turn around.
"Not today lord"I mumbled to myself.
"That really is you"She smiled walking over to us.
"What do you want monyetta?"I rolled my eyes.
"I wanna apologize Jayda. Can we talk over lunch?"She said with a sad smile.
"Please Jayda. I'm trying to start over and be a better person"She said and that's when I noticed behind her a girl that could possibly be Thea's age and looked just like monyetta.
"Is that your daughter?"
"Yes. Her name is Masika"She said and I nodded.
"I'll take you up on lunch"I said and she smiled.
"See ya"I said walking away.
"Who was that?"Dom asked as we walked up to the register.
"An old friend"I said and he nodded.

"Wassup monyetta"I greeted sitting across from her.
"Hi Jayda. Thanks for coming"
"Well let's get down to business. Why you trying to be friends with me now after all these years?"I asked. This question has been weighting on my heart all week.
"After we stopped talking, I was doing good for a few months in New York. I was living off Sean before we broke up but I had got a job so I was good. I ended up losing that job and no one would hire me. I started to strip and then I became a prostitute. I had got with a pimp and he had got me stuck on drugs. I was on it until I decided to stop about 2 years ago. I'm trying to mend all the broken relationships I lost"She explained.
"How old is masika?"
"She's 13"
"Then where was she when you did all this stuff"I asked.
"After I had her, I gave her to my parents. They had let me get custody a year ago"She explained and I nodded.
"I-"Monyetta got cut off by phone ringing.
"Thea"
"Mommy! You need to come to the hospital. Mercedes is having another seizure"She cried.
"Calm down, ok. I'm on my way"I said and then she hung up.
"I have to go"I said standing up.
"What's wrong?"
"Don't worry about that"I said and then walked away.
I still don't trust her.
