"So how old is he?" Breaunna nodded her head towards Reece as she ate her Thai food.
"Four." I quietly said as I ate my food.
"You know your mom misses you...and she's not mad. She loves-"
"Stop. Please. I didn't come over here for all that. I know she misses me. I know she loves me. I love her too. I just can't go back." I pushed my food away from me.
"Why not Bahja?" Breaunna quickly caught an attitude with me.
"Because I have responsibilities!" I yelled.
"What other responsibility do you have except Reece? Your mom could help you raise him!"
Breaunna yelled louder.
"I didn't come here to talk about that. I came here to ask if you would help me keep Reece..." I said.
"You mean like...babysit him? Because you already know I will Bahja." Breaunna smiled.
"No," I pulled on my fingers nervously. "Help me keep him from being taken by Manny." I raked my hand through my hair
"Why would Manny want-oh no!" Breaunna groaned. "Reece is his?" Breaunna stood up.
"Yes. Can we stop talking about him now? I would really like for you to answer to my question." I pulled on my sleeves now.
"You need a lawyer?" Breaunna asked.
"Yeah. A good one." I tugged on the hems of my sleeves harder.
"Alright," Breaunna sat next to me. "I'll help you." She smiled.
"Thanks so much Bre!" I pulled her into a long hug.
"I missed you." Breaunna said.
"I missed you too." I smiled.
"By the way, how'd you find my house?" Breaunna raised an eyebrow.
"I looked you up." I shrugged.
"And you found where I lived on the internet?" Bre looked scared.
"Everything about ya." I said.
"Okay now that makes me want to move out." Breaunna laughed.
"Yeah. You probably should." I laughed along with her.
We sat there and finished our food until I felt it was time to go. I picked up a sleeping Reece from the couch, grabbed his food, and headed out.
"See ya Bahja!" Breaunna waved from the front door.
"Bye Bre." I waved back.
Breaunna slammed the door before running to retrieve her phone. Dialing in the number, she shook a little.
"She wants a lawyer. A really good one." Breaunna chewed on her bottom lip.
"Give her one." He said.
"A-alright. Bye." Breaunna hung up.
"I knew I shouldn't of got into this mess!" Bre sighed and threw her phone on the couch.
