*Lamaya folds her arms & gets up from the bed*

Lamaya: You won't change for your own daughter?

*He grabs his car keys & leaves*

*Lamaya is upset & she closes the door*

*She goes upstairs & walks into the baby's room, She sees a light pink room with a pink crib & everything is in pink*

Lamaya: I know daddy wants to do the right thing but he is so deep in the game he can't find his way out *She rubs her belly & she touches the side of her face*

*She is about to turn to leave the room when she collapse on the floor on her side*
