“She’s in the Assistant Principal’s office. I haven’t been in yet, but Principal Cason did come out to talk to me,” he replies, taking the folder from me as he guides us inside.

“Well, who is this woman? Is she some kind of child napper or off her rocker?” GeeGee asks.

Alistair stops us, then lets out a deep breath. “It’s Milah, Hailey and Devyn’s mother.”

I pull back from him, shocked. “How did she know where to find us?”

“My best guess is that since our marriage license is public record, they were able to find us that way. They had to have someone watching us when we left out of the gates at the house. That pussy Andre probably knows we have eyes on him, which is why your mother is here.”

Hot rage fills me. How dare she think she can just show up and take Devyn away from us? She didn’t give a shit about her when Andre was abusing her, so why give a damn now?

“Let’s go. I want to hear what type kind of bullshit is about to come out of her mouth. If those documents Tech got together proves we are legally her guardians, then I’m not worried about her thinking she can just waltz in here and take Devyn. Devyn belongs with us now, and there’s not a damn thing she or that pedophile can do about it!”

“I know that’s damn right,” GeeGee co-signs.

Alistair smiles as he kisses my forehead before we go in the direction of Principal Cason’s office.

As we reach the glass front office, I can see the back of my momma’s head, as she points her finger at Principal Cason. He looks unenthused, as he leans back in his chair, with his hand laced together forming a steeple, pressed to his lips. A guy who I’ve never seen before stands next to his chair.

Alistair knocks on the door, getting their attention before we step in. My momma immediately jumps out of her seat, coming for me.

“You think you can just take my baby away from me,” she hisses, raising her hand back to strike.

GeeGee steps in front of us. “I wish you would put your hands on her. Matter of fact, I want you to, because as soon as your hand touches her skin, I’m going to rip yours off.”

“And who the hell are you,” momma asks with an attitude, putting her hand on her hips.

GeeGee does the same, stepping towards her. “I’m the mother figure these girls need since you’re a poor excuse for one!”

“Bitch, you don’t even know me,” momma rages, balling her fists.

“I know enough,” GeeGee counters.

Looking up at Alistair, I ask, “Are you going to do something?”

“Nope, this is why I told you to bring GeeGee. You don’t need to be putting hands on anyone, but GeeGee has no problem with it.”

“Ladies, ladies, ladies, let’s all just calm down and work this misunderstanding out,” Principal Cason says, getting out of his seat.

“Misunderstanding is not the word! I want to know how the two of them illegally changed my Devyn’s last name. She’s not a Kour...Korak, or however the hell you pronounce that shit! Her last name is Varner, just like me and her father’s,” momma shouts.

“Not anymore,” Alistair sneers.

The door to his office opens and Devyn runs in, hugging her arms around GeeGee. I step in front of them.

“Devyn baby, it’s me, your momma. Come here, baby,” momma tries to coax, looking around me.

Devyn looks at her, then buries her head in GeeGee's side.

Momma twists her face in anger as she glares at me. “You've turned her against me.”

“No, you did that yourself when you didn’t protect her from your husband,” I hissed, staring her down. I hold my hand back to Alistair, for him to give me the file. “Principal Cason, I have here the documents that prove me and my husband are legal guardians of Devyn. She was taken from my mother and her husband because he was molesting Devyn.”

“That’s a lie,” Momma protests as she tries to snatch the file from me.

I pull it from her reach. “Is it? Do you deny he molested me too?”

“Girl please, Andre didn’t molest you, you seduced him, with your little hot ass!”
