Dianne's POV
It had been a few weeks now and we had finally settled into our new home, the first few nights were rough with Safire, but now she was used to it, I don't think it was the moving, the girls already lived in four different places, I think her body clock was messed up from all of the travelling.
"Dada" said Safire
"Dada's working" I said.
"Play outside" said Safire.
"No you can't play outside because it's raining and I need to cook dinner.
"Here look play with your toys" I said dragging her box of toys in front of her.

Joe's POV
I was upstairs in my office checking my emails and just doing general work. I was going through my emails when this one caught my eye.

I stared at

I stared at... I couldn't process the words on the screen. I run down stairs to show Dianne.
"Dianne"?! I called.
"Yes Joe"? She asked coming over to me, I showed her the email.
"But they can't take her away, she's our baby" said Dianne close to tears whilst she was looking over at our little girl who was playing with her toys.
"Noah's being out of order" I said,
"look message Alice on Instagram and ask her about it and see if she'll give us Noah's number" I added.
"Okay" Dianne modded.
Short while later.
"It took her a while to reply and she said she's so sorry for all of this." Said Dianne.
"I feel sorry for Alice, I mean she just wanted to give her daughter to two people who would love her child and now after a year her boyfriend wants to play dad". I said
"I'll try calling him let's hope he answers" I said

N- hello who is this?
J- hi is this Noah
N- yeah who's asking
J- hi Noah it's joe
N- oh you mean the guy who's got my kid
J- well yeah but I just got an email about a court case, what's all that about?
N- well I thought it was pretty self explanatory but to but it simply I want to fight for custody of my daughter
J- well I know what you meant but why?
N- why?! Because she's my kid and I love her.
J- but Noah you're being out of order, and I'm not saying you don't love her but like I said to you before it's not about where she came from it's about who raised her.
N- sigh
J- look why don't we make a compromise, you drop the case and I'll let you see Safire one day a week you can start of by seeing her here and then once you've gotten know each I'll let you take her on days out or to your place.
N- what? No way I'm not being your personal baby sitter this case is happening!
J- well Noah I've tried to give you a compromise but if you don't want to take it the fine, I guess I'll see you in court but just so you know if we win you won't be seeing Safire ever and if by some chance you do win, just know his heart broken me and my partner will be
