Unconditional Love (book 1)

Jacob's Mom

August

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

So I was just sitting in my wheelchair next to my couch watching Jacob and Delilah play on the floor, when suddenly I hear a knock at the door. I sighed because i didn't feel like rolling to the door but I got the door anyway. When I opened the door I saw a small Mexican lady standing there and to be completely honest she wasn't that bad looking, but I would never try anything because she looked almost old enough to be my mom. She just stood there glaring at me.

"Um excuse me, may I help you?" I asked with an eyebrow raised.

"I'm here for my son, Jacob." She said plainly. I closed the door quickly so Jacob wouldn't here because i didn't want him back in a hospital. I can't believe his mom came back for him after all this time. I hope she doesn't know who I am at least not until I get custody of Jacob. I don't want Jacob going back to her because Lord knows what they'll do. I peaked out the window and got a good look at her. She looked like she just came from the strip club. No wonder why I thought she didn't look that bad. I sighed and looked again and she was still there. I went back to the kids and told Jacob to take his medicine to help with the panic attacks. After he was done I went to the door and let the woman in. As soon as she saw him her face got red.

"Jacob get over here right now, how dare you run away!" She said snatching him up. I couldn't just let her take him but then again I didn't want to go to jail for kidnapping a child. I held my head down in shame because even if I wanted to I wouldn't be able to because I'm in a wheelchair. I looked over at Delilah and saw her already crying.

"Don't worry Jacob. I will find a way for you to come over and visit to see Delilah." I said trying to cheer him up even though I'm not sure if he heard me since he was crying reaching for Delilah. A tear fell down my face because I could tell that both of their hearts were breaking. I glared at Jacobs mother and she just gave me a stank face and walked out my house. I held De while she cried on my chest. I felt so bad because I felt that it was my fault. I had to make it up to her.

I was on my way home because I wanted to surprise my family. I can't wait to see the look on Delilah's face. I parked my car and crept to back door. I unlocked it and tiptoed to the living room and all I heard was loud crying and it sounded like a woman yelling at a child. I walked in the living room and saw this Mexican lady snatch her son and left. August was holding Delilah as she cried in his chest. I walked in the living room and took her from him and hugged her tight rocking her a little. When she looked up at me her eyes lit up and she wrapped her arms around my neck and squeezed me. I smiled and held her tighter. She fell asleep on me so I quietly took her to her room and tucked her in. I walked back into the living room and saw August with his head in his hands. I went over to him and saw him crying so I went and held him.

"You should have seen it. It was like both of there hearts were breaking at the same time. I feel like I let Jacob down because I didn't do anything to help him. Lord knows what his parents are doing to him." He said wiping his face. I just hugged him without saying anything as he kept venting to me. He laid his head in my lap and I played with his hair.

"Who was that lady in the house and that little boy?" I asked still playing with his hair. He seriously needs a hair cut.

"That was Jacob and his abusive mother. Jacob is Delilah's Bestfriend." He said about to dose off. I was dosing to so I just left it alone.
