don’t want him to freak out if he doesn’t see one of us,” she said.
“What time?” I asked.
“At 12:00.”
“Alright,” I got up and walked up behind her and hugged her. I felt her tense up. I just kissed her neck and walked out the door.
We got some serious talking to do.
Reneice
I’m so happy I get to take my baby back home! The swelling in his brain went down, he only has one cast that goes all the way up his arm. Other than that, everything is good. The doctors said that he heals very quickly and he’s a fighter. Just like his mama , I thought.
“Look mommy, I got a boo-boo.” He pointed to the red cast on his arm.
“I see, mommy’s big boy. Do it hurt?”
“No,” he shook his head.
“Is that daddy’s big man?” Mykell asked walking into the room.
“Daddy!”
“Hey big man. How you feel?”
“I feel good daddy.”
“Good,” Mykell said kissing his forehead.
“Mommy, you no say hi to daddy.” Romell pouted.
“Hi Mykell,” I said dryly, mad that Romell had to bust me out.
“Hi Neicey, we need to talk.”
“Can it wait?” I asked.
I’m not trynna hear shit you talking about. If only you knew what I got up my sleeve, I thought.
“Yea that’s cool.”

Romell has been home from the hospital about two weeks now. I’m just waiting to make my exit. There are some decisions that I have to make for me and my son. I called Lakey the day Romell came home and told him to get ready for us. Romell and I will be moving to Florida to start over. The only ones I’ve told are my daddy and Pop-Pop. I hate to take Romell from his family but this is something I have to do.
My thoughts were interrupted by the sound of my dad’s voice.
“You all ready Ladybug?”
I sighed. “Yea daddy, I’m ready.”
“What time does your flight leave?”
“Not till 1:00 in the morning.”
“Alright, I’m going to take Romell with me, we’re meeting up with your Pop-Pop and MJ so we can kick it before you leave.”
“That’s fine.”
He walked over and kissed my forehead. “I’m proud of you Ladybug.”
“Thanks daddy.”
He walked out the room and I went to the bathroom. When I came out, Mykell was sitting on my bed.
“You scared the shit out of me,” I said grabbing my chest.
“Neicey we need to talk.”
“What do you want from me Mykell? You’ve already said what you had to say and made me feel like shit. You wanted me gone, so I left.”
“I want you Neicey,” he said in a low tone.
“What?” I asked confused.
“I said I want you,” he said speaking louder this time. “I want you and my son to come home so we can be a family. Make it like it was before all the bullshit happened. You know, make it like it was when we first got together.”
Before I knew it, I reached back and slapped the shit out of him. “I hate you Mykell! You never wanted me from jump. You were too busy fucking Kya and any other bitch. I loved you, I gave you my virginity. I was raped
