Back To Life

“Hey Nic”

The voice said to me as I stood there with my mouth still gapping open, my heart felt like it had just been dropped. “Is Alex in” the voice asked I was still in shock; I bit my bottom lip and looked over to where Aden was. Aden giggled and I heard Lisa gasp, “Is that Aden?” she asked with a small smile on her face. I nodded slowly and looked over to Aden. “Are you going to let me come in then?” she said. Just then I heard Alex’s voice “hey Lis...Nic let her in” Alex said.

My mouth opened at the way he had just spoken to me like I was a piece of dirt. “Alex what’s going on?” I asked. “Well Lisa and I well we meet up the other day and we talked, and Lisa is taking Aden with her” Alex replied. Was I hearing right was Lisa taking Aden back with her? My heart dropped as I looked over at Alex wide eyes. “OVER MY FUCKING DEAD BODY IS SHE” I shouted I walked over to where Aden was with Zack, and picked him up holding on to him for dear life. I wasn’t letting her take him away from me.

Alex walked over to me tears were all ready falling from my eyes, “Nic she his mom I know how much you love him but he needs his mom” Alex’s words hit me like a knife in my back, her a mom what the fuck. “Alex she hasn’t been a mother to him since the day he was born I been there for him more than she has and I’m not letting her or you take him away” I replied and started walking towards the stars taking Aden with me. “I’ll go” I heard Zack say. I could hear foot steps behind me.

I reached Aden’s room and walked in closing the door behind me, I put Aden down and I let myself slide down the door my knees coming up to my chest as I let the tears fall more and more. Just then I felt little hands on top of mine I looked up and saw Aden standing there with a little smile on his face. I took his little hands and held them in mine, “mama” he said quietly. I felt a tears roll down my cheek, just then there was a knock on the door. “Sis let me in” I heard Zack say, I sighed standing up and picking Aden up at the same time, as I balanced Aden on my hip.

I opened the door and let Zack in, he saw my eyes were red and probably puffy too. “I’m not letting her take him Zack” I said my voice cracking as I spoke due from the crying I had been doing. “Do you know what he just said to me?” I asked as Zack was standing there a sad look on his fetchers. “He said mama she can’t take him I won’t let her” I cried and that’s when Zack pulled me in wrapping his arms around me, with me still holding Aden.

Half hour had pasted and I put Aden down for his nap, I went to my bedroom where Zack was waiting for me. I walked over to the bed and lied down next to him, sighing I knew there was only one thing to do if I was going fight for Aden. I looked at Zack biting my bottom lip, “sis what you thinking?” he asked me quietly.

“There’s only one way to keep Aden if it’s possible” I replied. He looked at me with a worried expression on his face; I rolled my eyes at him knowing exactly what he was thinking. “You’re going to run away with him?” he asked, “Zack NO-god No I’m going adopt him as my own” I replied, “I mean I need to talk to jack about it first obviously but that’s the only way I can keep him” I smiled as I said the last words. I knew this was the only way I’d keep the one thing I love the most in my life even if he’s not my own flesh and blood, I knew there was going to be a huge fight about this and I knew Alex wouldn’t agree to it either.

I don’t know how Jack will take it when I tell him I just hope that he will support me and be there for me like he said he would. I love Aden and I’m not letting him go without a fight even if I have to go to court over this I’m never letting him go not ever.
