"Mommy, why are you leaving?" A plea strained my little boy's pitchy voice. I'd never felt an aching heart before that moment.

Quickly, I walked back to him and knelt by his feet. As any mother would I wiped the streaming tears from his cotton cheeks and planted a kiss in his little afro. The daunting thought of never again inhaling the light scent of the baby shampoo I used for lush curls lingered for a little while longer than it should.

No. It was no time to get cold feet. I loved Kai. I would kill for him. So I'd come back for him too. I took his face which looked so small and vulnerable in the cup of my long, lanky hands.

"Your... father," I still couldn't fathom that's what I had to refer to my rapist to, as Kai's paternal figure, "hurt me a long time go. I thought I was over it... But now he tried to hurt you, my angel. And Mommy's going to make sure he never gets the chance again."
