Monday morning, Scott called his current attorney and fired him. Rob went down and filed an immediate custody motion along with filing for a court date to grant Scott full custody and terminate Victoria's parental rights claiming she is an unfit mother.

Scott and I kept things professional at work, but after work, we spent time together at my house. Victoria was in for a rude awakening when she returned.

The girls got to spend time together, as did we. It was nice. It felt like a real family when we did. I could see this becoming more and more a reality with us.

Within a few days, a judge granted Rob's request, and Scott's awarded full custody. Victoria was set to return Saturday to a rude awakening.

Life could not be better.

********
Saturday arrived and so did pounding at Scott's door. He opened to have papers waved in his face, "What is this?" she hissed.

"That would be temporary custody of Georgia," he told her.

"I know what they are."

"Then why did you ask?"

"You had no right to do this!" She snapped.

"I had every right when you decided to bring her here at ten o'clock at night on a Saturday so you could galavant around the Bahama's with your new boy toy," he told her.

"What are you, jealous?"

"To be jealous, you must have feelings for someone, which I don't. What I do have would be angry that you feel the need to use our daughter."

"You know nothing," she spat.

"I know that you are a terrible mother, and Georgia deserves better. That I am going to provide."

She glared at him, "Have it your way. You will lose, and you will never see her ever again!" She screeched.

"Looking forward to it," he smirked as he closed the door on her.

"You'll pay for this Scott!"

He rolled his eyes as he walked into Georgia's room. She was sitting at her desk drawing. He crouched down, "What are you drawing princess?"

"It's me, you, Kami and Miss Lina," she said.

He smiled.

She looked at him, "Daddy can Miss Lina be my mommy?" He looked at her with furrowed brows, "Why do you want Miss Lina to be your mommy, princess?"

"Because she's nice and she says nice things to me. She gives me hugs and tells me my pictures are pretty. Mommy throws them in the trash and tells me I'm a nuisance. What's a nuisance daddy?"

"A nuisance is something that bothers someone, and they don't want anything to do with them," he explained to her.

"I'm sorry if I'm a nuisance, daddy. I promise to be good and won't bother anyone," she said softly, as she looked at him with big blue eyes.

"Princess you aren't a nuisance. Don't ever think that way. You are amazing, smart, funny, and beautiful. You deserve more than what you're getting. Do you want to go see Miss Lina and Kami?"

She smiled and nodded.

"Okay, let's go get your jacket on, and we can go see them," he smiled as he stood up and took her hand.

Once he got her coat on, he pulled on his hoodie, and they left to come over to my house.

*******
"Kami, it's almost lunchtime!"

"Okay, mommy!"

I made my way downstairs when I heard a knock at the door. I walked over and opened it. Before I had a chance to say anything, I got tackled by Scott and Georgia.

"What's going on? Is everything okay," I asked him.

He pulled back, and I could tell he was upset. Then I felt a tug on my pant leg. I crouched down and looked at Georgia, "What is it, sweetheart?"

"Miss Lina, I don't want to be a nuisance. Am I a nuisance?" Her tiny voice asked me.

"Oh Hunny, you are not a nuisance. You are incredible," I reassured Georgia.

"Will you be my mommy?"

Her big blue eyes looked at me, and I smiled, "Maybe but right now your daddy has to take care of things. But I promise, if you ever need anything, you call me. Okay?"

"Okay."

Kami came downstairs and walked over to us, "Georgia, guess what?"

"What?"

"We have cake!"

"Yay!"

They ran into the kitchen as I yelled, "No cake until after lunch!"

"Awwww!"

I giggled as I turned to Scott then he grabbed me and pulled me to him. Then he broke. I held him as he cried. I rubbed his back as he sobbed. I let him cry for a few minutes then looked at him.

"What happened?"

"Victoria," he said, rubbing his eyes. I closed the door and looked at him. "Georgia asked me if you could be her mommy because of how Victoria is to her. Lina, I'm tired of my, daughter feeling like she's a burden. She's five. She shouldn't have to deal with that."

"I know. No child should. The truth is some parents shouldn't be parents. Biology doesn't make a parent. You either are or aren't. Look at Wyatt. He loves Avie as his own. Better than Jerome ever would," I explained. He looked at me then I got an idea. So I made a call.

About twenty minutes later, Kara, Wyatt, and Avie walked in. We all had lunch then after the girls played while we all talked.

Scott explained everything to them, and they listened. Finally, Wyatt spoke.

"Being a parent is a gift. Before I met Kara, I never thought in a million years; I would be one. Honestly, I was fine with not having kids. My cycles were my kids. Then one day Kelly and Tara walked in to look at bikes, and I saw her. She was beautiful. At first, things were a bit rough, but then slowly, things started to develop. Then she introduced me to Avie, which is a big step for a single parent," he explained.

We sat there as he continued.

"They were a package deal. If I wanted to be with Kara, I had to accept Avie and let me tell you, that sweet little thing is quite the sassy person. She gave me a run for my money. I thought she would never accept me, and I was doomed. Then one day Jerome showed up reeking of booze. He spouted off at the mouth, calling them names and tried to maltreat Avie. I snapped. I laid his ass out. Told him if he ever did that again, I would break his neck. That was the day Avie hugged me and thanked me for saving her. Sadly, a four-year-old has to tell an adult that," he told Scott.

"How can parents be so, callous?" Scott asked.

"Because they forget that children are human beings. They have feelings just like us. Adults tell kids they aren't allowed to lash out or anything. The truth is they have every right to. Just like us."

"Georgia told me she wanted Lina to be her mommy today," he told him.

"No surprise there considering the kind of mom Lina is. All the kids are crazy about her, and Kami is an amazing kid. She and Ben do an excellent job with her," he said.

"Thanks, Wyatt," he said.

"It's no problem. Now I heard you had cake," Wyatt said with a smirk. I laughed.

I got up and sliced cake for everyone, including the kids. As we ate, the girls talked.

"Kami, do you think one day we will be sisters?" Georgia asked.

"I hope so. Then I would have three daddies and cake," she answered.

"I just want a mommy," Georgia said.

"Well, I want a daddy. Mister Wyatt is nice. He is like a big bear. He gives the best hugs," Avie said.

"Do you think Mister Wyatt will be your daddy," Kami asked her.

"I hope so. I don't like my other daddy. He's mean and does bad things."

"What kind of bad things?" Kami asked.

"He touches me," she whispered which caused us all to stop.

"Like bad touching," Georgia asked.

"Yes, I don't like him. He calls me names too. Tells me not to tell," Avie said to them.

I thought I was going to be sick. I stopped eating and pushed my plate away. Kara sat there shocked as Wyatt and Scott fumed. Listen to children; they speak the truth.

Wyatt stood up and looked at Kara, "Call Kelly and call Brent because I'm about to shish kabob someone's ass."

With that, he left as Kara made a call as she looked at us. She got off the phone and looked at us, "Can Avie stay here?"

"Yeah," I said without hesitation. With that, Kara left.

*******
Kelly and Brent met Wyatt at Jerome's place.

"Jerome you piece of shit! I want a word with you!" Wyatt yelled.

Jerome opened the door and staggered out half in the bag, "Get off my property!" He slurred.

"Not until you meet righty and lefty," he growled, and then he swung, connecting his fists to Jerome's face. He practically beat him to death, sobering him up quickly until Kelly and Brent pulled him off of him.

Jerome got to his knees, coughing up blood, "You listen to me, and you listen real good, you are going to terminate your rights and stay away from Avie and Kara."

"I don't have to do shit!" He spat.

"Suit yourself," he said as he turned to Kelly, "it seems your ex-brother in law has been putting his hands where they don't belong on your niece."

Kelly looked at him and rage boiled inside of him. He stormed towards Jerome as Jerome put up his hands, "Okay! Fine! I will sign off!" He screamed.

Kelly picked him up by the throat and squeezed, "I am a man of God, and I have no problem sending you to hell, you sick bastard. Come near my family again, and they will need to use dental records to identified years our body." With that, he threw him to the ground.

Shortly after the police arrived, the police arrested Wyatt for assault, but after Kelly and Brent talked to the officers, they stopped Jerome for what he did to Avie.

Bail was set pretty high for Wyatt, which was an issue because he didn't have that kind of money and neither did anyone else except for one person. They showed up and paid the bail money.

The officer brought Wyatt out, and he found Scott standing there.

"Man I don't know how I'm going to repay you or thank you," Wyatt said.

"Don't worry about it. I would have done the same thing if it was my daughter," Scott said.

"Thank you."

"When's your court date?"

"It's in a few weeks. I need a good attorney. Know of any?"

Scott gave him a look as they left the police station. I called Rob, and he said he would refer Wyatt to a criminal lawyer that would help. Since he dealt in family law and was taking on Scott's case, he couldn't take on Wyatt's case but knew someone that would.

It was a mess, and things just more complicated.
