"Okay" Maria claps her hand "let's eat"
We sit at the table and right as we start eating Maria attack us with questions about what we did when we were in Seattle "Oh Dios mio it must have been hard to live there" she squeezed my hand in compassion
"daddy said we will never live like that anymore since we're living here form now on" I choke on my drink "really ? He said that ?" I watch him frowning "yes I did and Aurelio was really happy and that's what matters the most isn't it buddy"
"Yay !"

He's right , Aurelio's happiness is what matters the most , I am big girl so I just need some time to readjust to this town and everything in it .
I have to stop being selfish .

"Alessandro! Ni siquiera se lo dijiste"
"Not now Maria"
Maria opens her mouth to respond but I cut her by squeezing her hand I give her a smile a forced one and I know she see right through it but decide to stay quiet .
With that I decide I had enough with the food "I'm going upstairs I'm still a little bit tired" I fake a yawn and kiss my little boy .

Sitting beside the window I hear a knock "Come in" Maria comes inside and instantly hug me "I'm so sorry hijita I don't know why he's such a scumbag" A small giggle escape me but I shrug in answer.

"He should've told you before making a decision that would change your life and habits"
I nod not knowing what to say
"Aurelio is your son you raised him for six years it's obvious that you have a say in this"

"But Aurelio is so happy here I don't want to ruin that for him he deserve happiness , if it's here then so be it" I shrug
"Look I'm not saying that staying here is bad in fact I'm happy that you're here , what I'm trying to say is don't let him make all the decisions, I know there's some fight in you"

She's right if I'm going to live here I won't let people walk over me especially Alessandro.

When Maria leave I decide that I need to have a discussion with Alessandro .
I knock on his office door hearing no answer from him I choose to go in "I didn't allow you to come in" he says without even looking at me .

"That's funny because I didn't allow you to make a decision about my son without concerting me first"
He sigh loudly then he looks up at me "last time I checked he's my son too isn't he ?"
"That's not the point you should've ask for my opinion on the matter , you know that I don't want to live here !" Fuck I didn't want to scream
"The only reason you don't want to live in London is because of your selfishness ."

He got to be kidding me "how the hell am I selfish Alessandro"
"Admit it you don't want me in Aurelio's life"
"I never said that , the fact that I doesn't want to live here doesn't mean that I don't want you in his life you're being irrational"
"Look Omarosa I don't feel like arguing with you"

"All I am asking you Alessandro is to involve me in whatever decision you want to make concerning Aurelio, I'm his mother if you don't th-"

"Then what Omarosa hmm what will you do ?"
"I guess I'd have to take a lawyer" he chuckle at my answer I know my threats doesn't make him sweat a bit if we ever go to court I know who will win .

"Please I would love to see that , me a well established man in the country, a Guerrero who can offer stability and security to the son I didn't even know existed against Omarosa a waitress in bar of criminals who made my son live in a dump where drunkard and junkies live for six years"
He gets up and stand in front making me feel smaller than I already am , a tear slide on my cheek again , fuck I wanted to show him how strong I am
"You don't want to test me Omarosa because if you do I'll ask full custody of Aurelio and trust me you will never see him "

I wipe my cheek and storm out of his office .

I sit under a tree in the backyard , why can't I stop crying , it's not like he lied about me putting Aurelio in danger by living in that neighborhood but I did my best and he had no right to blame me .

I guess I'm not that strong after all , one word is all I needed to crumble and be the little Omarosa I was .

"Mommy ?" The small voice of Lio pull me out of my thought "yes baby" I say with a small voice
He come and sit on my lap "you don't want to live here ?"

Great now I'm making my son feel bad about what he want
"What baby why would you think that ?" He only shrug and hide himself in the crook of my neck .

"Aurelio look at me" he do as I say "what do I always tell you hmm ?" He mumble something making me chuckle "whenever you go baby I'll be right beside you remember ?" He nod and hug me .

"You're my happiness mommy" My heart melt at his words , it's something we always tell each other when we're feeling down .

"You're my happiness too baby" I murmur.

And I will make sure to be a shield for him in their world full of snakes .
