14

    the silent hotel room is soon filled with noise as someone leaves harsh knocks on the door. startled, mackenzie climbs out of bed, looking at the space next to her where maisy - dressed in her diaper and a vest top- lays soundly asleep, soft snores being the only sound coming from her.

ready to beat whoever's ass is on the other side of the door for being so loud at 12 am, mackenzie wraps her robe around her tiny frame, pulling her hair into a messy bun. she opens the door, her mad expression faltering a little when she sees johnny and carson.

"hi mackenzie" carson greets her.

reacting quickly, mackenzie grabs onto johnny's arm and pulls the sobered up boy inside, slamming the door closed on carson's face. johnny's hands go straight to her waists and he gives her a sympathetic look.

"i'm sorry, i didn't know he'd want to see her" he mumbles, knowing that carson is only on the other side of the door.

confused, she opens her mouth to speak but is stopped when the door handle starts to open and in walks carson, raising an eyebrow at mackenzie .

"really kenzie?" he asks, the girl not answering her as she stomps off towards the bedroom and closes the door.

"what do you want carson?" she asks, her tone harsh.

carson takes a seat on the couch and gestures for johnny and mackenzie to do the same. they stubbornly do as he asks, siting on the opposite couch.

"thank you for looking after my daughter all this ti-"

"she stopped being your daughter when you abandoned her at the hospital" mackenzie spits, wanting nothing more than to bash his stupid head in.

"mackenzie let him talk" johnny mutters, knowing that she'll yell at him later.

giving them both a death state, mackenzie scoffs, letting him explain himself although she's already made up her mind that there's no excuse for what he did.

"i had no idea that brynn left too. i promise. but now that i have my own apartment and i have a good job that allows me to make really good money, i'm ready to be a dad" carson smiles, his knee bopping up and down.

mackenzies heart drops. is he saying what she thinks he's saying? is he going to take maisy away from her? johnny can feel himself grow angry. with himself for talking to carson about maisy, with carson for thinking that he can swoop back in, and with mackenzie for allowing him to treat maisy as if she were his. this is exactly the sort of thing he was avoiding. this is why he didn't want to make it official.

"no" mackenzie refuses, standing up.

"look mackenzie i know it's going to be hard but you and john can visit anytime you want to and i promise she will still be apart of your lives" carson tells her, trying to keep everything smoothly.

      "she's my daughter carson. i don't care if it wasn't me that carried her around for 8 months 2 weeks and 3 days and i don't care if i didn't push her out of my fucking vagina! i've been there for her since the day she was born. i'm the one who did her night feeds and changed all the nasty diapers, in the one who stayed up throughout the night when she had colic for months. i'm the one who was too afraid to sleep in case anything happened to that baby and i wasn't awake to save her! i'm her mother carson and i am not letting you take her away from me! not now and not ever" mackenzie yells, her voice cracking, tears streaming down her face.

         carson sighs, disappointed that it's come to this. he stands up and looks between johnny and mackenzie.
 
      "my lawyers will be in touch. if you aren't willing to give her to me without any hassle, i have no choice but to take you both to court".
