"Lauren I'm about to hang up now"

"I'll tell her when I get there"

***

Pulling up into my driveway I parked my truck then got out, going up to Susan and Jackie I stood in front of them.

"Wassup?" tucking my hair into my hoodie I tied the strings

"Don't ever bring your kids to the park again, we know you don't actually live here. You're just the housekeeper that works here and putting extensions in your daughters hair? Really" Susan says putting her hand on her hip

"That's her real hair, why would I put extensions in a two year olds head?" scoffing I took of my slides

"Do it again and we'll call child protective services and tell them know how unfit you are. No mother show act like the way you do"

"See now you're reaching, you haven't been around me to know how I act. But since you think you know me so such Ima show you how I get down." Backing up I opened the house door "Sienna these ladies trying to take your candy babies away"

One thing about Sienna, she doesn't play about Delilah and Amir.

Within seconds Sienna's running down the stairs shouting in Italian, moving passed me she attacked Jackie cussing her out.

Snatching Susan up by her hair I slung her away from them before she grabbed Sienna's hair, sending punches repeatedly to her face I hummed to myself.

"Call CPS and I promise I'll beat yo ass again and if I can't do it just know someone else will. I'm not the one to be fucking with Susan"

"Dang it Lauren!" Tiana yells behind me "Guys! Lauren and Sienna are fighting old people!"

"Sienna! Let her go before you kill her" Geovani shouts

"She no take my babies!" Sienna yells banging Jackie's hand against the ground

"Lauren make her stop!"

Sighing reluctantly I got off of Susan mumbling I told Sienna to stop.

"You know she can't hear you, speak up" Geovani deadpans trying to lift Sienna off the woman but she wrapped her legs around Jackie and continued to choke her

"Fine. . . Sienna let her go"

"But she take my babies"

"She's not doing to do it anymore, isn't that right Jackie?"

Nodding immediately Jackie looked between us begging for Sienna to stop.

"She better not, I'll kill her" Sienna snarls dropping Jackie, getting out of Geovani's hold she went over to Susan and punched her square in the face. "I kill you too, bitch"

"Alright that's enough, come on Sienna" Geovani pulls her by the end of her shirt into the house. "Babe that was hot, but you can't beat people up like that"

Toning out their conversation I watched Susan and Jackie limp out down my driveway quickly.

"You didn't have to beat them that bad, Lauren. Their families aren't going to just let them walk around like that without asking questions" Tiana frowns following me into the house "what if they call the police and actually call child protective services?"

"They won't, all the needed was a good ass cutting to set them straight and make them mind their business"

"Lauren!" Sienna shouts stomping up to me. "I'm mad"

"Me too" nodding I hugged her tightly pointing to Delilah and Squirt. "bring them here"

Remo picked them both up, handing Delilah to Sienna and Squirt to me.

"Look Sie, our babies are still with us so it's alright for you to calm down know"

"Candy babies need me?"

"Yes and I do too, I want you watch over them while I help Eli"

"Okay, gimme kiss" closing her eyes she tapped her forehead. "please I've been good"

Pressing a kiss to the spot she tapped I told her to take Delilah to the other side of the house. Tiana and Geovani went with her.

Remo stayed with me while I went into Elijah's office to breastfeed Squirt and use his computer to locate him.

"Remo I know that you had your surgery two months ago and I'm just wondering why you still haven't said anything to me yet. For you to be my son godfather you aren't being very nice"

'I'm his godfather?' he sign turning to me with his eyes closed

"Yeah, Tiana asked to be his godmother months ago and since you two are together I gave you the title of bring his godfather. Back to you, why haven't you said anything yet?"

'I'm not used to speaking, I haven't even said anything to Tiana. I'm waiting until I'm better at pronouncing things correctly. I only know how to speak in Italian fluently and I know she won't be able to understand so I'm learning English with my speech therapist'

"Does Tiana know?"

Shaking his head he fidgets with his hands.

"How don't you know English? Your signing in English"

'I stopped speaking when I was a boy back in Italy, I only spoke Italian back then. When I moved to the states I learned ASL and my teacher always spoke in English when thought me things. It's easy signing and writing it, but speaking it is completely different'

"Why did you stop talking? Did someone touch you in places they shouldn't have or threaten you?"

'What? No, someone put a coin in my burger and I ate it. It was stuck in my vocal cords until I had my surgery'

"Oh my bad I didn't know, I'm sorry that my mind is so dark and twisted" rolling my eyes I typed aimlessly onto Elijah's computer. "lock the door, I don't want the imposter walking in"

'Imposter?'

"Yeah hurry and sit down, I'll fill you in"
