Alex version
So tonight after six or seven months Ayla's father, Gerald finally had the guts to actually ask of Ayla. I told Maggie about it. She said it was a good and bad idea. Good because he's has to be responsible for his part and bad because he might play his games on me. That won't happen because i am focused on Ayla.

So I decided to go simple tonight. A black jacket with blue jeans and white vans. "Is that how your going tonight?" Maggie asked while she holding Ayla in her arms
"Yes. It's not a date or anything important."
"But it's an Italian restaurant."
"So? We're just going to talk of how me and mr Gillum will co parent between Ayla." I put on my shoes. I get my phone and keys to my car. "Okay, you know where the food."
"Yeah."
"In case give Ayla her favorite baby cookies." As I opened the door Landon was there "Hey Landon?"
"Hey Alex. Where you up to?"
"I'm going somewhere but if you want to stay with Ayla and my sister."
"On no please! I can't stand his annoyance." Maggie yelled. "I'm just fucking with you brother."
"Again language! Ayla is literally here." I check the time "I gotta go. I'll be back before Ayla's bedtime." I left. Landon closed the door.

I arrived to the restaurant. I parked my Jeep at a public parking. Maggie was right. I should of came more "fancier."

I walked in. The waiter looked at me weirdly. "Are you lost ma'am?"
"Um no, im...." Then i heard Gerald voice
"She's with me." He walks to the front of the restaurant "she's my..."
"Not your girlfriend."
"Um, Okay." We went to the table where he was waiting for me. I sat down before he helped me sit down.
Another waiter came. "So what's is the order for the night."
"Uh, can I get linguine and one of your finest wine."
"And for the miss?"
"I'm fine honestly." I respond
"I'll pay it for you." Gerald respond "get anything you want. My treat."
"No." I gave him a dirty look "I'm just here to talk about arrangements nothing else." I looked at the waiter "water will be fine for the night. Thank you." The waiter walks away
"I said I would pay it."
"And I said this is not a date. Remember that Mr Gillum?"

We were quiet for a moment. The waiter came back with my glass of water and Gerald's food. I check my phone each ten seconds. God how much I wanted to leave.

Then I received a message from Maggie

Mags:
Sis! I had to leave now bc a last minute appearance and show I had to do in London my manager called me. Landon is taking care of Ayla for the night. Sorry. I owe you one.

"Shit!" I said loudly. Everyone looked at me "sorry."
"What happened?"
"Um, i have to go."
"Is it something about Ayla?"
"Yeah."
"But we barely talk."
"Yeah I know but I have to go because I'm a mother."
"And I'm a parent to. Alex..."
"No, you are a parent! Hmm, where the fuck were you in seven months?" I get up from the chair "I gotta go." I leave the restaurant. I unlocked my car and went inside. I turned on the engine and he knocks on the window.
"So you're just going to leave?"
"Yes. I can't leave my child alone."
"Then bring her."
"No, we still haven't discussed of your visiting."
"Please?" Then paparazzi came and started flashing and yelling questions.
"And see this is why I didn't want to come in the first place because you would bring attention." He gave space from my car and I drove off.

I arrived home. Landon was watching tv. Ayla was asleep in his arms. "Hey." I closed the door and dropped the keys.
"You're back so soon."
"Yeah, Maggie texted me she left somewhere and it wasn't even worth it to stay in that restaurant with Gerald." He looks at me "oops."
"You left to dinner with him?!"
"I just went because he wanted to discuss his visiting days with Ayla."
"You're letting him?!"
"That's Ayla's father, unfortunately but I swear I didn't take him back. Not even in a million years."
"Oh because I was going to beat him up."
"Dude it's not worth it." I stared at Ayla. "Did she behave?"
"Yeah. She's like you. A good, sweet person and nothing like Gerald." We both laughed.
"I'll just take her to my room."
"Weren't you guys moving to the new house?"
"Yeah but its still installments so we rented this apartment for temporary." Landon gave me Ayla the i took her to my room. I laid Ayla in my bed, and covered her with a blanket.
"Yo." I turned around "it's Gerald."
"What?!"
"I guess he followed you home."
"Tell him I'll be out in a minute." He leaves.

I walked out of my room. "What?! So you had the balls to follow me back to my house?!"
"Please we just need to talk."
"No! I'm done with with your bullshit. And I'm not letting my daughter go through this."
"Okay. So when can I see her?"
"When I'm here or my sister you can see her. But if I leave somewhere she's going with me.And no you can't take her anywhere without my permission. If And Matt will be there because I trust him and is Ayla's godfather. If you're out of state with her."
"Okay. Deal."
"Okay leave." I opened the door so he could leave.
"Can I meet her tomorrow?"
"No, Imma be busy tomorrow with work and my sister is out of town."
"Okay, I'll stay and watch my niece while he's visiting." Landon said
"Sure?"
"yeah I got no problem."
"Okay then it is. Landon will be the supervisor of the visit."
"You're treating me like a prisoner Alex." Gerald said
"Or it's because I don't trust you at all with my daughter. And one more thing leave!" I pointed him to the door.
"Around noon or two pm i be here."
"Okay bye!" I closed the door at his face "I can't stand him." Landon laughs.

"Yup the rules are set for the visitation. Hope everything goes well.
