Anything for Mauricio

Wondering Why

I ran to my mom's car and screamed for her to drive. "Where? Where?" was what she said.
"Em qualquer lugar! Vamos embora, mae!" I said. We drove home and she asked me what was the matter. "Aren wants to take Mauricio from me." I cried, looking at my baby. "His mom told him to take Mauricio and raise him to know he's African instead of keeping Mauricio with me, because she doesn't like me and she thinks I won't tell Mauricio the truth. We just argued and his mom tried to burn me. I don't know why she suddenly can't stand me but I'm tired of her trying to force Aren to take Mauricio from me!" I told her. My mom shook her head and walked away. "So what do you want me to do? Should I go over there and speak with her or do you want the courts to settle it?" she asked. "I think I'll ask her myself, before you talk to her." I said. She started to say something but stopped and said "Okay." and left to get my brothers and sister from school. I waited until Mauricio was awake and gave him a bath and got him dressed, then I put him in his stroller and we walked to Aren's house. Was I prepared to talk to his mother? I hope so...
