Olivia's POV

Ford's 2nd birthday got here way too fast. My little baby Ford is already two.
Once again, we threw Ford's birthday at Blake's house. We didn't want to have a big party filled with strangers and paparazzi. Just family members and close friends.
The party looked amazing. It was circus themed. A few clowns and performers for the little kids. Bounce houses for the bigger kids. Petting zoo and train rides for all ages. I walked around with Zach in a strap on baby carrier around my body.
"Here, let me get him." Blake said, taking Zach out of the carrier.
"Not trying to be rude, honey, but ummm... When is Rita coming back for him. Not that I don't enjoy his company, but she's been MIA for a while." I inform Blake.
"I know, I've been trying to contact her, but she never answers. I'm starting to get worried." Blake confesses.
"Me too." I admit.
I'm not gonna lie, I hate the bitch, but I would hate if something happened to her. I couldn't imagine what life would be for Zach without his mother.

Blake's POV

I haven't been able to get in contact with Rita since she dropped off Zach at my place on Olivia's birthday. The only way I know that she's still alive is because she's always on Instagram, taking pictures at parties and clubs.
I decided to call her up for about the 5th time today.
"Hello?" Rita said, sounding like she just woke up.
"Rita?... Rita, what's wrong with you?! You haven't come to get Zach in almost 2 weeks, to go party and clubbing?" I ask in a stern tone.
"Chill, Blake. I was just trying to have some fun. I'll come get him later today." Rita said nonchalant.
"I don't know if I want him to go with you. In fact, I plan to go to court to get full custody, because you are an unfit parent." I announce.
"Like you can take care of him all by yourself. You're always playing basketball. You never have time for your first boy, let alone Zach. I wish you would try to take him away from me. I'll just let you in on a little secret, you'll never take Zach from me. He's the best thing that's ever happened to me." Rita says.
I could feel her devious smirk through the phone.
"Is he really?... Or is it the thousands of dollars you get a month from me in child support?" I question.
There's a moment of silence. She knew I was right.
"Whatever Blake. I'll get him in an hour." She says, then hangs up the phone.

***********

So I did what I said I was going to do and the following week, and I went to court to try to fight to get full custody of Zach. It's going to take a while, so for know, we have equal visitation days. As well as that, I got my child support payments terminated as long as I buy things for Zach like clothes, toys and water for both my place and his mother's place.

*******one month later********

Today I was watching cloudy with a chance of meatballs 2 with Olivia and the boys.
When the doorbell rang, I raced up to get it. To my surprise, there stood Rita. She didn't look too good either.
"Can I speak to you outside?" Rita asked, with pleading eyes.
I walk outside and close the door behind myself.
"Talk." I command.
"I have nowhere to stay, Blake. I'm homeless. I used all the money you gave me to gamble with my boyfriend. When I told you he cut me off, he cut me off. He kicked me out our house. And I can't do anything about it, because he talked me into not putting my name onto the house, or the car. So basically, I have nothing. You have to help me, Blake. I don't know what to do." Rita confesses.
I run my fingers through my curls in frustration.
What am I suppose to do? I can't just let the mother of my child sleep on the streets. But what will Olivia think?
