A/N: MAKE SURE TO READ THIS FIRST. Okay now that I got your attention. I wanted to let you know how this story is gonna play out. So in real life a pregnancy is 40 weeks I believe I haven't checked. So that's about how many chapters there will be. Now at this point I'm Not sure if there will be like a sequel but I know that around chapter 40 ish the story will end. Now if you want me to do more stories like this just let me know.

Same day.

Kelly

Why would he try to get custody of me? What was he doing here in Atlanta?

The baby kicked." Not now" I said out loud. I rubbed my belly to calm her down. "Sorry mommy's not in the mood right now"

I got out my phone and dialed beys number. I hate to bother her at work but this whole thing is gonna drive me crazy if I don't tell someone about it.

"Hey baby" her voice instantly made me feel better.

"Hey" I said

"What's wrong?" She asked. She could instantly tell by the tone of my voice that something was wrong.

"I uh I was going through some old case files and I found one about my Dad" I say as I make my way over to a chair.

"Oh really? What's it say?" She asked sounding interested.

"He tried to gain custody of me when I was four" I looked at the file again.

"Okay, most dads do that" she said

"Not if their supposed to be dead" I say

"What?"

"Bey my mom told me when I was younger that my dad died in a car crash and now I find out that he's been alive this whole time, I can't believe this" I say leaning back in the chair.

"Maybe you should try to find him and talk to him" Bey suggested.

"That's a good idea" I say giving it some more thought.

"It was just a suggestion"

"I want to do it" I say

"Okay but promise me you won't stress over this too much"

" I promise" I answer honestly." How's your first day going?"

"It's good I'll be home around 9 maybe" she says

"Okay so you want me to wait up for you"

"No it's fine you and the baby need rest"

"Okay I love you I'll talk to you later"

"Love you bye" she said and call ended. I put the case file in my work bag so I could take it home with me.

Should I tell Aaron about this? No, he's probably got a lot going on already, I shouldn't bother him. I'll tell him when I think he should be involved.

After a couple hours of looking over cases. It's time to go home. When I pull up to the house I see a package on the steps. I grab my bag and get out.

I bend down and go to pick up the package. Well it must be papers of some sort because it's very light. I open the front door and turn on the lights. I set my bag down and shut the door with the package in my hand. I take it into the kitchen. 

I set it on the island and use the scissors to fit it open. I take out a letter and a beautiful diamond ring. It's from my mom.

I open the letter and it reads:

Dear Kelly

By the time you get this I will probably be long gone. I told Aaron to send this to you when he felt it was the right time. There was so much stuff I wanted to tell you so here it goes. I'm proud of you Kelly and I love you. I hope you can forgive me for not accepting you. All I want is for you to be happy. And You go out and find that person that makes you happy and when the time is right give them the ring. It's been passed down by all the women from past generations. And one day you'll give it to your daughter when the time is right.

Love Doris.

I set the letter down. I wish Aaron had given me this sooner. I understand it's takes a long for things to come down all the way from New York. I fold the letter and put it in its envelope. I put the ring in a drawer. I can't let Bey find especially not after scaring her with that talk about marriage.

I put the letter in my nightstand drawer and get into something more comfortable. After eating dinner and washing the dishes. It's 8:45. Bey said she would be home around that time.

I lay in bed and I try to stay awake so I can talk to her but I can't even keep my eyes open.

Bey

I pull into the driveway parking right next to Kelly's car. Today was a long day. But it wasn't too bad. It was nice being out of the house. I can't wait to get in some comfortable clothes and lay down.

I enter the house and the lights are dimmed as they would at night. I crept up the stairs and I open the bedroom door. There she was Sleeping peacefully on her side of the bed. I went over and stood over her.

Her eyes fluttered open." Bey your home" she said sleepily.

"Yeah, I'm sorry if I woke you up" I say softly. "Go back to sleep baby"

And with that she drifts back off to sleep. I laugh lightly. And I get ready for bed.
