"I can go in there with you." Giovanni said grabbing Teresa's hand.

Teresa sighed and looked up at the huge house. "It looks like she had everything figured out..we should go-"

"No, we're gonna stay and talk to her." Giovanni said. Teresa sighed. "What if she doesn't like me?" She asked.

Giovanni raised a brow. "Since when did you care about that?" Giovanni asked. Teresa shrugged. 

"I'll go up there with you, you don't have to do this alone." Giovanni said squeezing her hand.

Teresa smiled.  "Okay." "Come on." Teresa took a deep breath and nodded her head.

They stepped out the car and walked down the path to the house. Teresa looked at her surroundings before walking up to the door.

Giovanni rung the doorbell twice before taking a step back. Giovanni grabbed Teresa's hand helping her calm her nerves.

The door opened and a girl a couple years younger than Teresa stood infront of them.

"Uh, who are y'all?" She asked. She looked at Giovanni and smiled. "Who are you?" She asked placing a hand on her hip.

Teresa raised a brow. "Can we talk to Lauren-" "Maya who's at the door?" Lauren asked coming from the kitchen.

She looked at Teresa then at Giovanni.  "Can I help you?" She asked. Teresa examined her features and shape.

She didn't have much of anything either except for a butt.  Her breasts were a little bigger than Teresa's from her being pregnant more than once.

"Are you Lauren Reed?" Giovanni asked. Lauren nodded. "Yes..why?" She asked. Maya took a step back watching this play out.

Teresa looked at Maya hoping she'd leave but she never did. "Maya go." Lauren shooed her daughter off.

Maya sucked her teeth then turnt around switching at the same time. Giovanni rolled his eyes.

He hated fast ass little girls and swore if he ever had a daughter she'd never end up like that.

He'd drop everybody that even looked her way.

"I think I'm your daughter." Teresa said. Lauren frowned. "My...daughter?" Teresa nodded.

"Yea." Lauren scoffed then took a step outside before closing the door.

"How'd you find me? It was a closed adoption." She said folding her arms. Teresa frowned.

"Does it matter?-" "It does matter hun, my husband doesn't even know I had a kid at fifteen.. I made alot of mistakes back then."

"Running from your problems isn't a good look." Giovanni added. Lauren looked at Giovanni. 

"Did I give birth to you to? Why are you even here?" She asked. Giovanni raised a brow.

"Just forget I ever came." Teresa said. She handed Lauren a piece of paper with her number.

"Call when you decide to stop being a bitch." Teresa spat. Lauren scoffed and watched Teresa and Giovanni walk off to the car.
