"Lyric, Lyres" I called out plating their breakfast

"Hurry up and eat we have to go pick Faith up" I told them as they both took their seats

After dealing with the situation yesterday I had to pull lyric off the bus since Adeline took the same one, so now the kids are being dropped off until we get a private bus.

"Laz will pick you guys up and you're staying the night with him so he can drop y'all off tomorrow" I explained earning a sigh from the both of them

"Not today" I shook my head as I placed cream cheese on my bagel

"I can walk to school" lyres groaned

"Can Titi drop me off" lyric added

"No and no" I shook my head going to grab my things

"Mama you think you can drop them off tomorrow" I stopped by the guest bedroom

"Laz bailed" she stood from fixing her shoes

"They don't want to go over there" I told her

"Yea but you need to talk to them, that's still their father at the end of the day no matter what happens between you two" mama said grabbing her things

Yesterday when I had gotten home Lazarus came over to talk and we'd gotten into a huge argument words and even hits were exchanged so no one was really in the mood this morning.

Making my way back to the kitchen I packed the kids a lunch before they went to grab their bags.

"Let's go" I told them as they all headed out

Once we pulled up to pick Faith up I honked and waited.

"Don't be outside my house honking like I'm the side" Monica came out rolling her eyes as Faith followed

"Love you baby be good in school" Monica kissed her forehead before closing the door.

Pulling off I had them at the school in no time.

"Remember what I said lyric, they say something to you ignore them, you got your phone call me if you need anything" I caught her before she could step out

"Have a nice day baby" I waved pulling out

Once I'd made my way back onto the main road I headed for work.

Making my way into my office I was scheduled to meet with two new foster children along with another who'd Id known since she was a baby.

"Morning everyone" I spoke to the whole room not in the petty mood to hurt Miyah's feelings

"Morning" they all nodded, mumbled or waved.

"Tia called to cancel because the little one is in the hospital, but I informed her that you could come down there so she asked for you to give her a call to agree on something" Beverly the office assistant informed me handing me the contact number.

Once I'd gotten settled in I dialed the number written down on the sticky note before awaiting an answer.

"Hello" someone answered

"Hey how are you?" Harlow answered

"Fine And yourself" they responded

"Great Thanks for asking, this is Hadley from social services I was just calling to follow up on a canceled appointment with 6 year old Jewel Moore and her foster mother Tia Cole" I continued on as I pulled up my work calendar
