Women that say No

Chapter 1

  "I don't want to go." Power huffed crossing his arms and refusing to budge as we stood at the entrance of his elementary school.

It had been a complete struggle with him this morning. I had struggled carrying him thus far and refused to carry my six year old any further my body wouldn't allow it.

  "Power please!" I pleaded all out of energy physically and emotionally. "I am going to be late, we talked about this last night, I will be back at 3 for your program but I am
Going to be late if you keep this up." I sighed practically begging him to give in.

"I don't want to go! Everyone else has a Daddy I'm the only one that'll have a mom!" He complained refusing to give in.

I had kept this charade up for the pass four years of bribing and substituting Power with toys, quality time, and whatever other distractions I could find to avoid anything father related. But he was now of age and this "Daddy Day" program his school was hosting today had pulled the carpet right from under me.

"Power it'll be just the same, not everyone has daddy's, I'm your mom and dad it hurts my feelings that you don't want me to attend your program. I explained trying to use reverse psychology but he was set on not giving in and I was all out of options. I had to be to work any moment and could play this game with him pouting and calling the shots. I decided to put my foot down.

"You better start moving or I will take you in that restroom on spank your butt! I am going to be late damn it!!! I snapped losing my cool as a young man and his daughter approached with wide eyes from my comment.

Power looked away with his face still distorted as we stood in silence. This was one stubborn child I had! Jesus I missed the day where he was my little angel, although I didn't regret any moment with this little kid he gave me the reality of motherhood.

"Excuse me." The dad said stopping with his daughter who waved at Power.

I turned in his direction without saying a word as he went on. "I don't mean to intervene but I believe powers in Gigi's class and if it helps I don't mind walking him in." He offered as his daughter smiled.

"Yeah Power my dad can walk you in, you're holding your mom up." She said maturely making me smile.

"Oh I don't know... He's a bit upset his dad couldn't make Daddy Day—-."

"I don't have a dad." Power mumbled making my heart soak in sympathy.

"How about this... I'm Steph Gigi's dad and I've always wanted a son and I'm sure Gigi wouldn't mind a brother you guys can be twins.. would ya like it if I was your dad for today, you seem like a cool guy." He said kneeling down at powers level.

His effort brought pure butterflies to my stomach but it was hardly a cure for the pain powers words brought to me.

"I got five dollars." Steph teased as he noticed power holding back a grin.

"Where's it at?" Power finally said causing us all to laugh as steph dug in his jacket pocket and grabbed a $5 bill.

"You drive a hard bargain kid." He chuckled looking up at me and winking.

"Can I have a kiss?" I asked Power.

"Eww mom no."

"I'll take it if he won't." Steph teased making me blush.

It had been a while since I had gotten butterflies from any man. For the past 4 years since the trial I had dedicated my life to being a mother.

"Thank you." I said to him as he brushed powers head and started to walk off.

"No prob." He replied smirking.

I made my way back to the car where the car pool teacher was waiting for me.

"Thank you so much! Rough morning." I said as she smiled.

I got back into my Range Rover and took a look at my angel Allure fast asleep.

She was my big girl that I had made the decision to birth 3 years ago.

It was the hardest decision of my young life. It's not often that a girl is raped twice by separate suspects and impregnated on both occasions.

But I'm proof that the statistics exist. The both of my children were products of rape. And I made the decision to carry out each pregnancy and protect each to the best of my ability.

I loved my two babies more than life and would go beyond measures to protect them. Rick had no idea that he had this child existed because I hadn't spoken to him nor seen him since the trial.

He didn't know if I had an abortion or lied about being pregnant. Because I had moved to a neighboring and started a new life away from everything including my mother.

Our relationship was on bulldozer rocks it only got worse after the trial and she had this will to prove who Allure belongs to but I never told her nor my father.

No one knew not even my children. But I was now having to answer to Power about where his daddy was.

Allure was every inch of rick, she was identical
To his daughter that he had with Angela who was just a year older.

If anyone from my hometown laid eyes on her they would have no doubt that she belonged to rick.

Although being a single mother was extremely hard I was making the best out of it. I had graduated with my degree in psychology and was now working at State Psych ward doing what I started out to do my first year in college.

I was running late and had to quickly get to work but I was thankful for Steph he had spared me the extra thirsty minutes. Besides he was very attractive.

Just as my mind wondered on him my cell phone gave a ring from an outer state telephone.

"Hello?" I answered.

"This is an important automated message for Madison Hilliard from the board of California correctional facility."

My heart skipped a beat because the only person I knew from that state was Kamron. I hesitated as the operator repeated the message awaiting me to press one to confirm I was myself.

I pressed one nervous of what I may hear next as the operator started.
"This Call is to inform Madison Hilliard that Kamron Kezford is due for Parole November 21st after serving 4 years of a 5 year sentence. To confirm you have received this message please press one, to speak to a board official press 2.

I could've had a heart attack as I listened to the words that burned my soul. Without thinking I hung up disconnecting the call.

I couldn't believe my ears so I pulled over to take what I had just heard in. Several times Kamrons family had reached out to bond with Power and I had declined on each occasion.

My life was about to take a dramatic turn before my eyes.
