Chapter 28
|Mikhail "Khail" Daniels|
I'm in so much pain it hurts. How could my mommy do this to me? All I ever wanted was my daddy. The doctors and nurses are nice and they give me medicine to help my pain. I also meet my aunties Lonnie, Shantel, and Cosmo. My uncles Rony, Diggy, and Adrian. Then I talked to my cousins. When everyone had to leave I was a little sad, but I knew they were coming back tomorrow.
"Daddy?"
"Wassup lil man?"
"Do you love me daddy? Why did Mommy lie to me? I was a good boy and she lied to me. She said lying isn't nice, but she did it daddy."
"I love you more then you'll ever know. You're mom is just going thru some things. Just get some rest Khail." He said. That's all I remember before falling asleep.

It literally broke my heart hearing him cry because of what Alyana did. No child deserves to suffer for personal reasons. If a man wants to be a man and be in his child life let him. Your child could grow up to hate you or resent you for keeping his daddy away. Then the female wants to cry when the child says they hate them. Things like that could be avoided in the world if you tell the truth and let that man be a man.

The Next morning everyone came back and they brung is some food from McDonald's. I had two platters of sausage, pancakes, hash browns, and eggs with an orange juice on the side.
After breakfast the kids were caught up in watching TV they couldn't hear us.
"Your lawyer called me and told me that they are sentencing Alyana for two charges of attempted murder." Rony said.
"When is her court date?"
"On the day we all leave." Diggy said. I nodded. Now how am I going to break this to Khail?

"Khail I have something to tell you."
"What is it dad?"
"Well you see since your mom did something bad she has to go to a bad place until she's good again. She will be gone for a long time, but when she's better you can see her again." I explained the best way I could. He just looked at me. He didn't hold in emotion on his face.
"Okay daddy." That all he said before turning back to the TV. Is this a cover up or does he really not care?

I know what my dad was talking about. My mommy is going to jail. Mommy always told me that was a bad place for bad people. Mommy was bad so she has to go to that bad place.
She hurt me and I don't want to ever see her again!

2 weeks later...

We were finally back in South Carolina. Khail acts as if he's been around us his whole life. He hadn't said anything about Alyana being gone even if you mention her name he acts like it doesn't matter. Today I want to sit down and talk to him again about it. She is still is mom right or wrong. That was something I never wanted to take from her or him.
"Khail we have to talk about some things."
"Like what?" He asked innocently.
"For one your going to be living with me now and I just want you to know no matter what choices or decisions you make I will still love and support you. The second thing is your mom. I don't want you to hate or hold a grudge toward her. I know she hurt you, but things will get better over time."
"I don't love her! I HATE her! SHE IS NOT MY MOMMY ANYMORE!" He yelled crying. I just hugged him as he cried. He stubborn just like the both of us. This going to be harder then I thought.

Over the next few weeks I had Khail registered in school. We went school shopping for him. Painted his room, got to know each other better, and just bonded. A part of me missed being around my own parents.
"You okay?" Shantel asked.
"I miss them." I said with a sigh. She rubbed my back.
"Go see them Keith. God does things for a reason. Don't miss your chance of fixing what is broken. The next thing in about to say may shock you, but help Alyana. Even if you can find away to get her sentence cut down. Help her. Khail needs a mother in his life even if he doesn't want to admit it. I forgave her, now it's your turn." She kissed my cheek and walked out leaving me in my thoughts.
