Allures birthday was approaching the day after the custody case and the court date was less than a week away and I hadn't planned a thing.

The lazy mom in me figured we had our vacation already and the way I was under the weather had me feeling less energetic than the norm.

Luckily the nausea had surpassed but all I could think about was sleeping and that's what I did for the first couple of days after returning.

I couldn't figure out if it was the jet lag or just the stressing finally catching up with me.

The kids were out of school and as I finally came out of my slumber, Power was bringing me the phone.

"Who is it?"

"It's mami and she says she's been calling you all day."

"Put it on my face." I directed making power chuckle, placing the iPhone on my cheek.

"Hello."

"Have you seen any news today?" my moms voice flooded, overly excited from the other end.

"No why?"

"Well I know you're familiar with North Carolina's infamous Drug dealer the son of Joe Stead, Frankie Stead! Rick landed the job defending him and it's all over the news, they've even made cnn."

I set up in disbelief of what I was hearing , clearing my throat. "Wait What?"

"Put your ears on girl, Rick is defending the infamous Drug dealer and it's all over the news. He's hit the jackpot. I'm surprised you haven't heard about it."

"I haven't I've been sleep forever it seems. Wow that's the news of the hour eh?"

"Oh forget the hour it's the century. Just how the heck does he plan on taking care of Allure while he's involved in this high profile case."

"Beats me but that's better news for me in that case. Lord knows I hate his guts but I'd hate for something to happen to him or my baby while in his custody."

"Think only the good things Madison for heaven sakes. Let's be humane."

"Humane to someone who drugged and raped me. Yeah how much nicer would you like me to be."

"Alright Madison. Must we always run this rodeo."

"Yes, because it plays in my head all the time. Now thanks for the update mother, it's greatly appreciated."

"Well when will you bring me babies to see me?"

"Well I don't know Steph's mom is coming into town soon so she may want to hog them."

"Oh here we go."

"Can you for once have a righteous outlook maybe. She actually wants to meet you."

"Oh really? To play house?"

"No because her son is marrying me if you remember."

"Ofcourse."

"Oh mom you know what, nevermind."

"Well I can't cooperate if you're going to forever hold a grudge against me and behave this way."

"It's not me behaving any way."

She sighed, "well when is it gay I must meet her. I'll come to your home instead. It's about time I visit."

"Do you promise to behave?"

"I'm not a child Madison don't speak to me as if I am."
