Gina's POV

I stop by a cafe for breakfast. Josh is ecstatic over the fact that I let him eat a donut for breakfast, since it never usually happens. I sip my coffee absentmindedly. My thoughts are on what Cody needs to talk to me about. What is it? I check my phone for the time. 9:55. Time to go.

I walk out with Josh, still drinking my coffee. I'm missing something here, and I'm sure I'm going to feel like an idiot when I find out. It doesn't take long to find the park. There's only one major one. I make a beeline for it. "Mama, I see Uncle Cody!" Josh says enthusiastically. He clearly saw Cody before me.

I head for the bench he's sitting on and take a seat. I already feel intensely awkward. "Hey," I say. Cody half smiles. Josh is jumping around like a kangaroo. Guess that donut wasn't the best idea. "What did you need to talk to me about?" I ask. Now Cody looks like the awkward one. I sense that it isn't good news.

"It's about Cori and Nick's daughter, Karin. She's been removed from their custody." Uh oh. This isn't good. "Since neither have any relatives, it was transfered to me after I underwent a psych evaluation," Cody explains. Here comes the idiot feeling. Why didn't I think of that? And you knew? I snapped at Jenna, remembering her odd behaviour earlier.

Uh, yes? She replies.

Not cool man, I say.

Jenna's off in my mind now, grumbling. "So. In the eyes of the law, you have a daughter?" I ask. Cody nods. Well. This is interesting. Then a thought strikes me. What if Cori and Nick's mental disorders are hereditary? Cody might end up raising a ticking time bomb! "Karin has mandatory psych evaluations once per year," he says, answering my unspoken question.

"Is there a chance they could get her back?" I ask. Cody looks deep in thought for a moment, considering it. "No. At least, I don't think so. The disorders will always mess them up if they tried." I breathe a sigh of relief. That could've been worse. Then I facepalm myself. The transportation cost. How will we get back?

I feel like such an idiot today. It's a bit ridiculous. But one thing is prominent. Cody'll have to raise the child of two unstable people. Karin's about four now, I assume, and can rememeber them. This could turn out two ways from here. Psycho child, or not psycho child. I hope it's the latter.

This sh*t better not keep happening, Jenna sighs. I agree. This better be the end of this.
