It's been two months since I got Noah back and I still haven't gone to the therapist. Noah is now 11 months old, god he's growing up so fast. Charles came to visit yesterday and we played with Noah until he fell asleep. "So....... have you changed your mind about Doctor Bailey?" He asked really lightly, as if he knew I would get upset if he brought it up. "Did you really have to bring that up now?" I said as we left Noah's room. "Yes I do. Natalie, Elizabeth won't change her mind if you don't go to see Bailey." I turned to face him and put my hands on his shoulders. "Well tell her the answer is still no. I feel like you secretly like what she's doing anyway." I continue to make my way downstairs and into the kitchen.
"What are you talking about?"
"See that's the thing between you two, always wanting to have power over things then when you get your way, you act as if you don't know anything."
"What are you trying to say?"
"Like right now, how Elizabeth is trying to be the one with all the power and control over who gets Noah and trying to take him away from me all because she can't get her way. And then you, you just fire people over little things just because they brought the wrong paper or mixed up some dates or for no reason at all, just to stay in control. What type of father is that? I don't want my child to be raised by those types of people, I don't want that for Noah." It was then that I realized what I just said. "Wow, I didn't know you felt that way." "Charles that's not what I meant. I'm so sorry." "No, don't apologize for how you feel, it's okay. I guess Noah deserves someone like Finn for example." What? Where did Finn come from? "Why did you bring Finn into this? He doesn't have anything to do with this. So leave him out of it."

"Or even better, maybe you should've slept with Finn instead of me. Maybe Finn would've been a better father." At this point, I was pissed. I walked up to him and slapped him. "Get the hell out, I'll see you in court." He left without saying another word, while I just stood there, shocked about everything that just happened.
