" So you gonna tell me where Nora is?" I ask Lincoln as we grab our drinks.
"Nora? Where is she?" He said avoiding my question. Of course, he would be like this. He's dating her best friend he's got to know where she is.
"Man. I'm just tryna see my kid. Is that so bad?" I ask taking a long gulp of my drink. He sips his.
"I get that. But think about it. Because of you, she was put in such a situation that could've killed the baby. So her moving isn't that drastic of a change. She's just looking out for herself."
"Yeah, but Lincoln, man, that's my kid. I'm gonna get to see my kid. I will apologize for a lifetime if I have to just to see my kid smile, laugh, or even take its first steps." Lincoln's face looked pained. Looked like he could understand where I was coming from but was conflicted. He knows where she is and it seems to hurt him to keep this from me.
"Man, just tell me where she is." I run a hand over my face. This was becoming unbearable. You how much energy it takes to not give up on finding someone after a whole year. A whole goddamn lot of energy which at this point was decreasing faster and faster. "You obviously know where she is. Just tell me. You know I'm dying over this. I just want to see my child, man. How can you keep her from me?"
He sighs before getting up and right before reaching the door he looks at me. "You coming or not but I gotta call her first so don't say shit." I nod and get up leaving a couple of dollar bills on the table before exiting the bar with him.
"Hey, Nora would be cool if I came by. I want to apologize for how I told you the news earlier. It was kinda harsh. Also, I got a present for Rosa. I think she'll like it but I don't know how you'll feel after." Lincoln says into the phone after getting into the car and starting the engine. After two turns it hums to life and we head to Nora's house.
"No, it's nothing bad just a little present. Wait till I get there. I don't want something bad to go down."
"Nothing I'm on way." He hangs up the phone and looks at me. "Your ass is gonna get me killed. Let's just hope her boyfriend isn't there or all both our asses are getting beat."
My heart stops. Boyfriend? What boyfriend? It feels like my whole world has stopped. She has another man raising my kid? My kid! I couldn't believe it. To think another man has witnessed and seen my kid before me. Anger just engulfs my whole body and I can't help but slam on the dash.
"Who the fuck, is her boyfriend!" I screech at Lincoln. He jumps but recovers quickly. "I was kinda expecting that, but to answer your question. Her boyfriend is this guy she met while pregnant at the mall looking for baby clothes. He was with his sister who was also shopping for baby clothes and they just clicked. Remember, she left you to live a normal life and this is as normal as it gets so you can't be mad."
"The hell, I can be mad. Lincoln, that's my kid he hugging and touching and doing god knows what with, that I can't! Of course, I'm going to be mad." I slump back in the seat like a fucking 5-year-old in a temper tantrum but I don't know what else to do other than that.
Finally, we pull up to her house. It's a small apartment building that she's living in. She wouldn't be here if she was living me, that I can tell you. Lincoln walks up the steps and knocks on the door. Nora opens the door who I presume is my daughter in her arms. Warmth fills me replacing all the anger that was in me. She's so cute. She has black curly hair just like her mom and has my chin and nose but her mom's facial structure. A smile immediately makes its way on my face.
"Lincoln what the hell. Excuse my profanity but seriously what the fuck kind of surprise is this." She semi-yells at lincoln, I could see she was holding her self back.
"Surprise." LIncoln said shrugging his shoulders trying to make light of the situation. For some unknown reason, my mouth decided not to work. I was speechless. I couldn't help but get lost in the eyes of the baby. Rosa was what Linc called her earlier. It was a pretty name. Her eyes were such a deep chocolate brown that seemed to go on for hours. You would think based on her eyes she was a lady my age but no she was a tiny baby.
"What are you doing here?" Nora looked at me finally acknowledging my presence. She was so beautiful. Her curves were excellently more relevant especially after the pregnancy and her boobs were just amazing. Unconsciously I licked my lips and a scowl made its way on her face.
"I came to see my baby." I say. My mouth finally decided to work.
"I don't want you here." Her words crushed the fantasy of the happy life I was building in my house. I should've expected this but there is always hope.
"I know that, but I need to see my baby. I need to be with my baby. You can't keep her away from me." I plead.
"Oh and why not. Your life is too dangerous for her. She's going to grow up around guns and knowing death." She shook her head disapprovingly.
"But that'll only make her stronger in the end. She won't get bullied and she'll always have people to back her up when bullied."
"No the kids would be too scared to talk to her. Her dad is a gang leader. Parents wouldn't want their children hanging out with her which would only lead to a life of misery. I won't allow that."
"OK. What if I just visit or stay here. I won't expose her to that lifestyle. It'll be a secret."
"Yeah? And what do I say when she finds her dad dead. Huh? Oh, he was shot because of..what? How do I explain that? And there is no stay or visit. She has a dad. My boyfriend who loves her more than you ever could." Wow. That comment went straight through my core. How could she tell me that? Pain shot through me like no other.
"I will not allow you to raise my child under the roof of another man." I turn to lincoln." If you'll excuse me, we need to discuss somethings." I move Nora out the way, inviting myself into her house and shut the door so that it's only me and her.
"We need to talk and we're going to talk like adults. I wanna know everything bout that baby in your arms. After that, I'm staying here with you. There will be no discussions. That is my kid and you will not keep me away from her. We are not going to court, I can tell you that right now. Your boyfriend, whoever he is, is moving outback with his sister or whoever cuz I live here now. Do you understand." I explained. My voice commanding. I wasn't taking no for an answer. I will be here with my child.
Reluctantly she nodded and walked past me settling on the couch. She held 'Rosa' in her arms, while the baby played wither her fingers and outfit.
"Here's the whole story. Prepare yourself."
