Secret Mistake

47.

DELANO POV

I know, I know... I really didn't want to have to do this to Gia but I had no other choice. I want my family back. So since she's taking way longer to come back on her own... I'm giving her a push. But instead of her folding she's being Gia and just not giving in.

Hoping Gia doesn't actually bring this to court. I would hate that she embarrass herself. She doesn't have enough money to get an attorney and well money will be a huge problem.

I went to visit my sister today... once I got to my mothers house I found out my sister isn't there.

"Delano, hows that thing you call a son?" My mother asked.

"He's my son mom. And he's fine" I said. I really didn't want to hear her ignorance today.

"Well what's with the attitude? She asked.

"Nothing mom just trying to get my family back. And it's taking longer than I anticipated".

"Oh god Delano forget her already... you don't need her she'll just hold you down with that baby of hers".

"Mom please don't speak of Gia in any negative way. You don't know her" she was getting on nerves.

"I'm just saying you have other options and you are blind sided by Gia. It's sickening".

"I don't want anyone else. I want Gia and my son. That's why I went to file for full custody".

My mother dropped everything and stared at me "and why would you do something so stupid?!".

"Because one I want my family back and two when I went to see ryan couple of days before I saw a guy at Bria's apartment talking to gia. That kind of set me off because she looked like she was enjoying this guys company a little too much".

My mother face palmed herself "so your filing for custody just to be spiteful?! Just drop the case!".

Shaking my head "Nope she'll fold sooner than later it's all about timing".

Couple weeks ago...

I called Gia letting her know I was there to see Ryan. She told me to come on up and the door was open. I made my way upstairs and opened the door to see Gia and some anonymous guy in the couch laughing.

That made me feel some type of way. I cleared my throat and she looked over. She got up and walked to me "oh let me get Ryan". She left me with this guy who didn't say anything he just sat there watching tv.

Coming back out with Ryan she handed him to me. "He's a little fussy so I don't know how long you'll be able to hold him" she said.

I nodded "I see you have guest" looking at the guy and back at her.

"Yeah he's an old friend of Bria and I. He came over to congratulate me on being a mom" she smiled.

I nodded "uh huh..." the smile on her face just irritated me. I don't know why but my mood changed.

After twenty minutes I wanted to leave. Gia took Ryan with her and fed him next to that guy. I stormed out of there not wanting to see that. So that's what made me file for full custody. I'll be damned if she'll just have guys around her and my son.

Don't get me wrong it took me a day or two to actually file the papers. I wanted to not be so mean to gia but she did it to herself in a way. If she would just let go and come back this wouldn't be happening.

When she came over to my house to talk about the papers I saw how hurt she was. It did make me feel a little guilty for what I did. But then the image of her and that guy sitting together laughing just made that guilt go away.

She was furious at me. But I told her... either come back to me and I'll drop the case or go to court. She wanted to be difficult so we're going to court. And this won't end well especially if she goes all the way cause she'll lose custody of Ryan. That's not even a doubt about that.

Or maybe she might fold and just give in knowing she'll be in a tight spot if she goes to court with this. All of this is just a waiting game. I'll do what I have to do get Gia back home with me. I've done my mistakes and apologized for it.

I love Gia and I always will. I just want our family together so we can overcome this and do what we planned on doing. Before all this shit happened.
