April 23
Bernice,

"Good morning." Violet greeted. "Good morning." I said. "Today is-"

"Ashley's birthday. I need to find her if I don't, I'll be a horrible mother to my children." I stated. "I'll help you cause she's my only niece." She stated.

"I'll tell August today. I just don't know how he'll take it." "He isn't going to take it easy. You know he has a temper."

I went upstairs. I took a warm shower. I wore the outfit in the mm.

I knocked on the door. A few seconds later it was opened. "We need to talk." August said. I nodded. He let me in.

"Mommy." Aaron hugged me. "Aaron." I picked him up. Aaron went upstairs where he is probably going to watch  a show.

"Aaron has been talking about his sister Ashley who he has never seen before. Has he had this imagination before?" August questioned.

"It's not an imagination. I found out I was pregnant after I left. I had Ashley. After I had her she was kidnapped and I haven't been able to find her. Today's her first birthday." I said.

August,

After she said that. I calculated when she got pregnant. "I get why you didn't tell me I was having another kid but even after you came back you still didn't tell me." I stated.

"I was going to. I just wasn't ready to tell you." She spoked. "Why do females always say they just wasn't ready? I'm tired of hearing that excuse."

I have a temper that I couldn't control. Females always say that excuse. When they say it they would never be ready.

Bernice holds her feelings in. She doesn't let things affect her. "I think my mom took her." She stated. I needed to punch something. I repeatedly punched the wall.

Bernice's mom disowned her since she had a kid and she wasn't married. Her mom gave her a lot of pressure. I have a daughter out there that I wouldn't have known about if I never found Bernice.

"August stop." She yelled at me. When I was about to get another punch in she hugged me. I felt something wet on my shoulders.

"Mommy you crying." Bernice let me go. "I lost my only daughter. If Lucinda has her I am going to beat the heck out of her. They took her before I could bond with her. I was heartbroken for months." I couldn't feel her pain because I wasn't a mother but I understand what she was saying.

"Everything is going to be ok when we find her." I hugged her. We stayed in each others arms for a while.
