Torn Between The Two | Drake & Chris Brown

Chapter 42

Danielle

Michael came rushing back to the house after Jaycee called and told him about the situation. He was furious. Not only was Jason and Chris in partnership to take Tamara away from me, but Chris was going to give Tamara to Jason. My mind couldn't do anything but imagine what would have happened if Jason actually had taken Tamara. I didn't even want to think about that. I was just glad that I had my baby girl back.

"Mommy where have you been? I missed you." Tamara hugged my leg.

"I missed you too Mara. And that doesn't matter. What matters is I'm here now. And I'm not going anywhere." I said, picking her up and placing her on my hip.

Tamara gave me a kiss on the cheek and put her arms around my neck, placing her head on my shoulder. I smiled and walked back into the living room where Jaycee was talking to Tyga, a little fear in her eyes.

I was confused at first but understood once I began to listen to what Tyga was saying.

"Man, I don't care. They got me effed up. I'm done. Getting the strap. No one about to mess with my little sister and niece like that. They don't deserve to live man. " Tyga said, about to walk towards the stairs.

"Michael, no. You have a family to take care of as well. I don't care about how strong you feel about killing them. It's not going to do you any good if you sitting in a jail cell and they're six feet under. They're just going to be taking the bond you have with your son right now." Jaycee said passionately.

I cleared my throat. "I agree with Jaycee. I mean, I understand the love you feel for me Michael, but your family is first. If anything, I got Jason and Chris. I'll be fine." I said, hoping that Tyga would drop the conversation.

"You are my family. I want you and Tamara to be safe now. Especially since you have her again." Tyga pleaded to me.

"I know. We will be safe. Imma go back and get full custody of Tamara again, and everything will be back to normal. I promise."

Tyga paused again. Then, AJ came in and grabbed his dad's hand.

"Daddy, can we play 2K now? I don't like playing against Tamara. She's so easy to beat." AJ asked, looking up at his father.

Tyga smiled. "In a minute little man." He looked up at us. "Alright. I won't do it."

Jaycee and I smiled.

Tamara had fallen asleep in my arms, but once I sat her down in the chair, she woke back up.

"Mommy, I want my nails to look nice like yours and Auntie Jaycee." Tamara held out her tiny hands.

"Okay. We'll make your nails really pretty." Jaycee said, going to get nail polish.

When she came back, Tamara picked a color and I painted her nails while Jaycee painted her toes. After they dried, Tamara was so happy to have her nails done.

"I'm going to show Uncle Michael and AJ." Tamara quickly went upstairs where Tyga and AJ were in AJ's room.

"Will the plantiff please rise," the judge ordered. I stood up.

"Now if I get this straight, you too were just in court about a week ago?" the judge asked.

"Yes, your honor. However, it is necessary to be here today because the father of my child put my daughter in danger intentionally. I request that his custody be removed on the basis of endangering the welfare of a child." I stated to the court.

"Okay, and the defense?" The judge said, dismissing me.

Chris stood up agitated. "Your honor, the plantiff is wrongfully accusing me. She has no proof. This is all a waste of time."

The judge frowned at Chris' comment.

"Well, do you have proof counsel?" The judge turned back to me as Chris took his seat.

I stood up again. "Yes, judge. I would like to submit into evidence text messages and photographs that I took from my phone at the time that the defense was endangering my child." I gave a folder to the court officer, and he handed it to the judge's secretary. She quickly made photo copies and gave them to the judge. The judge looked over them for a moment.

"What were you doing at the defense's house that day?" The judge asked.

"I wished to see Tamara that day before Chris had plans to do what he planned on doing. By time I got there, I saw Jason, my ex fiance, and Chris handing Tamara over to him. Allow me to remind you, you honor,that the reason why I lost custody of my daughter was because of Jason. His criminal background and the fact that we were going to get married made me lose the case." I explained to the judge.

"And why were you handing your daughter over to Jason?" The judge asked Chris.

"Um, your honor, Jason was going to watch Tamara for the rest of the evening." Chris scratched the back of his neck.

"Watch her...he's not even supposed to be around her. Plus, the first person that you should ever ask to babysit your child is the mother. You're obviously an unfit parent. I reverse the case decision of full custody to Danielle Brooks. Mrs. Brooks, would you rather settle different times for Mr. Brown to see your child or child support?

I looked over at Chris. He gave me an evil smirk. I gave him a disgusted look. "Child support, your honor." I replied.

It felt good to finally have my daughter back. Chris and Jason won't mean anything to me. Just a part of my past.

I just hope it will stay that way..
