"I catch it mommy!" Mia smiled running over to Alyssa.

Alyssa turned her head back around before she quickly picked up Mia and sped walk. The woman caught up to Mia as she stood in front of her blocking her from moving.

"Where you been at?." The woman My'lisa asked frowning. All she knew was that Alyssa disappeared for two years after she ended everything with her brother.

"About my business." Alyssa scoffed walking away before My'lisa grabbed her arm.

"Stop fucking walking away from like I won't beat ya little ass."

"Ooo mommy she say bad word." Mia said looking at the unknown girl.

"Mommy?" My'lisa questioned looking at her strange. "Hold up." My'lisa said putting two together, "You ran off and had Tyrone baby without even telling him. I can't wait to tell him I found you. He been looking for you ever since and he ain't stop. He gone be happy when he hear this." She smirked.

"This ain't his baby." Alyssa lied.

"How old are you sweetheart?"My'lisa asked Mia. Mia looked up at her mother before looking back at My'lisa zipping her lips.

My'lisa chuckled, "At least you taught her some sense."

"My'lisa I want nothing to do with your brother. He's a sorry excuse for a man."

"That don't mean you keep him away from his child! If that's his daughter he should be able to see her and she should be able to see her father. What kinda trifling bitch is you?"

Alyssa looked at My'lisa before turning on her heel walking away from her not looking back.

"He gone find her! Best believe." My'lisa shouted.

***
Alyssa sat Indian style on her bed as she closed the book she was reading placing it on her pillow. She stood up and walked on the other side of the bed smiling down at a sleeping Mia. She laughed seeing Mia's hands up on the pillow and her hair everywhere on her head. She smiled at the sight because it reminded of her the father of her child Tyrone, he was a wild sleeper just like her.

Alyssa kissed Mias forehead before pulling the sheets over her little body. Alyssa walked out her bedroom going into her living room as she looked at the mess Mia made with her playhouse and dolls.

She cleaned up the mess making sure to place the doll house neatly in the corner and placed the dolls inside the house. Alyssa went into the kitchen looking up reading the clock

10:07

She nodded knowing Mia would sleep through the night and she could catch up on her latest shows. She grabbed some fruits and grabbed a knife and placed the fruits down before cutting them in little pieces. She opened her blender before putting the fruits in there before turning on the blender. Seeing the fruits were mashed up how she liked it she turned it off and went into the cabinets grabbing a glass. She opened the blender and poured some of the smoothie into it. She drank all of it before placing her cup in the sink and washing it out. She took the rest of the smoothie in the blender and placed it in the fridge for later.

Turning off all the lights she headed back to her room.

Alyssa walked into her room and gasped seeing Tyrone rocking Mia in his arms.

"So this my little baby?" Tyrone looked up at Alyssa acknowledging her presence.

"Tyrone please put my baby down." Alyssa asked nicely as she walked towards him.

"Don't bring ya ass over here." He said sternly. He placed Mia back down and pulled the covers over her before walking over to Alyssa and he backed her into the wall.

"Why?" He looked down at her. "Why you keep my daughter from me?"

"You know why." She looked at him. A look of hatred.

"Do I? Do I really!" He banged his hand on the wall as Alyssa flinched.

Alyssa shoved him back, "you know what the fuck you did Tyrone. You tried to kill my brother!" Her voice cracked as she thought back to Montana in the hospital fighting for his life. "You manipulated me and you threatened m—"

"But you lied to me. You told me you was eighteen and whole time you sixteen. And your brother got what was coming to him."

"Get out... Or I will call the police."

"Go head. I don't give a fuck." Tyrone huffed before looking over at her. Look I don't wanna argue with you. I wanna be there for my daughter. You took two years away from me already."

"Mommy." Mia said rubbing her eyes.

"Okay....Please can you go."

"I'll be back here tomorrow." He gave her one last look before he brushed past her. Alyssa sighed in relief as she rushed over to Mia trying to put her back to sleep.
