Aiden learns that Family is Family. That he'll need that shoulder to lean on and to talk too.We need each other.
Me-So I'm guessing there the same type of dogs as the characters you named them after?
Ava-Yep
A male voice in the background said "AV you ready ?"
Ava-Yea, hey daddy I'll talk to you later . I love you
Me-who the hell is that Ava'Marie?
Ava- Taaj , but I gotta go
Me-Ok love you
End Of Phone Call
Who the hell is Taaj . I searched on Gigi page to see who the fuck the nigga is. But she playing games. Not tryna show his face.

So I called.
Phone Call Gigi-What the fuck you want Anthony
Me-Who the fuck is Taaj
Gigi-Bruh your business, you need to mind. Not mines.
Me-It's my business when you got my daughter around this nigga.
Gigi-Anthony, he's my boyfriend
Me-I don't want that nigga around my daughter
Gigi-Nah you just don't want him with me. You got a whole girlfriend. You been having your girlfriends around my daughter and I didn't say anything .
Me-Fuck that , you didn't want Marie around my sister.
Gigi-You know I was just saying that. But I don't give a fuck, you can't tell me what I can do with my child. She likes him. I made sure she was comfortable with being around him.
Me- I need to meet this nigga
Gigi- you really don't, knowing that he takes good care of us is all that matters. *hangs up*
End of call
I honestly feel like I should know the nigga my daughter around. Nigga gon need a whole background check and all. Ion play that shit . I done met a lot of girls who been sexually harassed and I'll be damned if thats happens to my child. The world is crazy out here.
So know for sure I ask questions every night when Ava and I are on the phone.
And I'm starting to notice her mama got her limiting what she says to me when it deals with him.
I gave Ava a code word to say if he touches her. So that she won't be scared to tell.
But he hasn't put his hands on her some I'll chill on it just a little.
But months later I almost got on panic mode cause Ava called me crying.
Phone call
Ava- Hello? *crying*
Me- hey what's going on why are you crying?
Ava- I-I wanna come home * boohoo crying *
Me- What happened
Ava-I don't wanna be here come get me daddy.
She saying this like she not hours away from me, but shit not stopping me, my daughter wants me to get her so I'm gonna get her.
Me-Alright I'll be there in a few hours.
Ava- How long is that*sniffs*
Me- 5 hours
Ava-ok
Me-Alright, I love you
Ava- Love you too
End of Phone Call
She didn't say no code words so that was something that made me feel better.
The flight I was just anxious , I didn't know what to think. Like what happened, why does she wanna come home , is this man doing something to her, what is it?
When I got there I called a Uber to her place.
I got her and we left. She didn't look the same. She was taller almost my height, she had all the things that come with being a girl , youno... and she looks more like Gigi.
I found us a hotel to stay for the night since the flight back was coming back in the morning.
"What happened Ava?" I said as we got in the hotel.
"Is he hurting you?" I added.
"No mom neglected me. She puts him before me. She doesn't do stuff with me anymore. She misses out on all my stuff."
"He's just letting that happen?" I said.
" he tries to keep me involved but ma always makes excuses on why I can't be with them and he be in different cities and she goes to see him most of the time."
" Ahh so you leaving her cause you not getting attention, sounds familiar." I said.
"Daddd" she whined.
"I'm just saying Marie, the grass ain't always greener on the other side. Everything isn't gonna be about you. Only you can be about you. Times when you feel you not getting attention make it time to give yourself attention." I said.
"What you mean by that?"She asked.
"Shit like girly shit, paint your own nails, learn how to do different hairstyles, just self care in general. Like me I'll clip my toenails, shave, read, practice basketball, allat. Focusing on Me. What I never got is the fact you had sisters who always wanted to be around you, that wasn't enough?"
"Not when I have a father who could be giving it. Like you was there but it felt like you wasn't there ."
" oh wow baby, I'm sorry I made you feel that way, I was just going through a lot."
" I just like when you're single and it's just us, with no lady involved."
I just gave her a hug and kissed her head.
"So are you coming to stay or you just doing this out of anger?"
