Sitting at this stainless steel table was not how I expected to spend my time before Thanksgiving or let alone find myself.

Rubbing my wrist at the awkward chatter around missing the sound of my loud gold bangles I had to remove along with my other jewelry before coming in here.

They better not lose my damn ring or this whole place will be sued.

The burly guard moved aside and let him through, his stone faced demeanor changed to a soft smile once he saw me.

"Hi mama."

"Hello Treyvon." I haven't seen him since my birthday in June when he brought me a huge bear and a card and had that blonde girl with him, he looked good a little scruffy but that made him look more like his father to me.

"I am disappointed in you I hope you know that right? What were you thinking boy!?" I hissed not trying to looking loud and outlandish in this place.

He just called me out of the blue talking about 'mama I fucked up, please come see me'

"I-i don't know mama, I just wanted to see my daughter ever since I fucked up football my life has been shit and I figured i'd go back to a point where life was okay for me with someone who cared for me." He shrugged raising his cuffed hands down his face.

I hoped they weren't too tight on my baby.

Grabbing his hands pulling them down I asked confused and concerned.

"You're daughter,what since when? Why wasn't I told? Boy what the hell have you been doing?"

" In high school, my girlfriend Destiny you remember Destiny?"

Didn't really like the girl, would've chosen someone better for my son she's probably off somewhere stripping or something.

"Yeah I remember her a little..."

"Well yea she got pregnant and I didn't want to ruin my reputation at the time, just stupid teenager stuff I regret. I told her to get rid of the baby or I was gone basically and she chose the kid." He nonchalantly shrugged leaning back in his chair.

"Well have you seen my grandbaby? Haven't you spent time with her, how and what does that have to do with why you're here which I'm still waiting for an explanation of some sort." I know when he's sugar coating something he my son after all.

"I popped up and she was with this weird tattoo biker guy claiming that he was Lindsey's teacher which I didn't buy at all so I in a sense kept an eye on them. And took it upon myself to make a personal visit with my daughter." I saw a glint in his at his last few words that I could only describe as his fathers traits.

"No wait, not Lindsey it's Elizabeth!" He said snapping his fingers

I loved that man with ever fiber in me, the money was a plus but he just had a obsessive nature about him. Shame how he passed some say drinking to much could be poisonous you know.

Grabbing my hands feeling the cold cuffs touch my hands that I'd have to sanitize later he brought me back to reality.

" Mama you have to help me, I need a second chance please i'll do right this time I promise."

"Okay baby anything for you."

Even though I was about 8 months pregnant against Jeremy's wishes I still worked. I am a CEO damnit, I just wouldn't feel like myself not working but fot the sake of the baby we came to a compromise.

If comes to around the last months of my pregnancy I would start to work from home incase of emergency's. Well I started the day off at home but I needed something from work so at work is where I currently am. Shh don't tell Jeremy.

Walking towards my office I saw one of the younger temp boy at Lacy's desk, where she should be.

This damn girl.

"Lacy!? Where is this damn girl? You! Um Sean right where is she and why are you in her spot doing her work?" I yelled snapping my fingers as I waddled over to him trying to remember the temps name.

"I-it's Steve ma'am- uh boss."

"Well Steve, have you seen my lazy assistant who is making you do her work?" I asked placing a hand on my now currently widened hips.

He pulled at his shirt getting nervous and pushed his glasses up gulping before blushing and speaking in a stutter.

"Well um yes she asked me to do this for her and um she's really nice to me and pretty so I thought it was okay I'm sorry if it wasn't."

That girl could charm the pants off of man, but when he adjusted himself I saw her signature pink lipstick on his color so I got a sense of what was up.

"It's okay baby just don't let her use you, she's a fast one." I said winking at him which made him blush I heard clicking heels coming down the hall which meant my assistant was on her way back from who knows where.

She stopped in her tracks once she saw me.

Busted.

She turned watching Sean- I mean Steve walk past her mouthing 'Sorry' i'm guessing she mouthed 'it's okay back' but after that she blew him a kiss and that boys face turned as red a tomato before he moved the books down to his crotch before running off.

Omg

"You're gonna give that boy a heart attack, and don't make him do your work or i'll fire you girl." I said shaking my head at them both leaning against her desk.

"He's legal and cute and plus pretty privilege helps me succeed in life just a little more as conceded as that sounds. Plus, you would never you love me." She shrugged coming over to help me up off of the desk.

"Pretty privilege?" I asked walking into my office going towards the file cabinet.

"Yea pretty privilege, the best part about being pretty is that you don't have to work as hard. Also I could have brought this to you."

"Girl you are a mess, and yes I know I just needed an excuse to get out of the house." I said as we walked out of the office only to see a balding man standing in the middle of the walkway looking around.

"Hello Destiny Jamison?"He said turning towards us.

"Yes..who's asking?"

"You've been served."

——-

"SEVERED WHO THE HELL DOES HE THINK HE IS?!"

"TRYING TO GET HIS DAMN MAMA TO HELP HIM TAKE MY CHILD THAT HE HELPED IN NO WAY RAISE!"

"Dessy please calm down you're scaring the dogs and you could induce labor." Lacy said helping me sit down on couch I've been ranting since we got home.

"Him and his bougie ass uppity momma, she never liked me." I rolled my eyes before tossing the 'petition for custody' envelope as a note fell out.

'Just want to be more involved as a new grandparent and make sure she has a better life for herself."- Grandma Diane.

This bitch

"Was she trying to say I am unfit to raise my daughter!?"

Just then Jeremy and my baby came through the door and I calmed down some.

"Uh babe what's wrong? Heard you from outside, um Lacy could you take Elizabeth to the back she was sleep in the car so she's pretty tired." My tattooed fiancé said receiving a nod from her before coming give me a peck on the lips.

I handed him the papers and he read them to himself before saying, "Who the hell do they think they are!?"

"That's what I said."

"Can she fight this? She has money." I asked while rubbing my stomach feeling stressed the wedding was next month we really don't need anymore drama.

"Not really but he could fight for visitation rights, if anything he's the unfit one here." Jeremy said walking back and forth think before he pulled out his phone.

"Don't worry babe I got this my dad knows a guy."

———

"Child custody case number 0247..."

Jeremy held my hand and Trey and his mother were escorted in the room toward the opposing side with their lawyer. Trey in a suit yet still cuffed.

"What type of arrangement are you seeking any why Mrs.Martins ?" The judge asked her. (I don't remember if I gave Trey a last name or not)

"Joint custody."

Jeremy's dad's friend George answered for me, " Joint custody? Your honor, my client has been the only provider for their child while the Plaintiff gave up his right long ago."

" My client believes that he should be allowed in his child's life and that things can be worked out together as parents as far as visitation." Their lawyer tried.

" Worked out are you crazy?!" I couldn't control myself my hormones were raging and my blood was boiling.

"Yes he has his right just as much as you and your filthy biker sweetie" His mother said trying to be funny as he laughed at her comment toward Jeremy

"STAY OUT THIS BITCH!"

"Filthy biker....?" Jeremy questioned.

"ORDER ORDER ALL OF YOU!" The judge repeatedly hit his gavel making us quiet.

"Convictions of certain crimes cause courts to curtail or terminate parental custody rights. A parent convicted of child abuse, child endangerment or a sexually related felony involving a child lose custodial rights. Therefore I grant Ms.Jameson full custody of Elizabeth Jameson."

" YESS" I yelled attempting to jump in Jeremy's arms but my belly stopped me.

"This won't be that last you hear of us Girlie." His mother hissed and the cops escorted them out.

"I suggest we get started on that restraining order." George said hearing her comment.

————

The restraining order was filled that's the last we heard of them as of recently.

As for the wedding the ceremony itself went smoothly but the reception well someone decided it was time to come out.

Right in the middle of our dance I felt this strong ache. Everyone was screaming and panicking trying to get me to the car it was a mess.

"Oh god Jeremy you did this, no more after this!"

"Aww babe don't be like that just one more- aah ." He pouted then flinched as I gripped his hand from the pain while glaring at him as my mother drove us. Jeremy's Family weren't to far behind us.

"Just breathe mommy like we practiced at home okay? In and out." Lizzy tried calming me down and was doing little breathing exercises demonstrating to me like at home.

I did them to please her well and try to soothe myself.

Hours later our baby girl was was born.

"Olivia Jameson welcome to the world."
