Cassandra was racing toward Julie's mom's house. She glanced at her spedometer and saw she was driving 50 in a 30. She knew she should slow it down a little, but all she could think of was darling little Franky disappearing to who knows
where. Her heart went out to her friend and her precious little Rose.
Her cell phone rang, and she took a quick glance at the caller ID and saw it was the hospital. "Talk to me sweety," she said as she hit the answer button. Cassandra's
heart wrenched as she heard the tears in her friend's voice.
"Mom said David picked him up four hours ago. She thought David was going to bring him to see his new little sister."
Cassandra let up on the gas and allowed the car to
slow to about 30. "I'll find him sweety. I'm going to check on your home first to make sure its ok."
"Oh my God I never thought of that."
"That is what I am here for to watch your back."
Her heart sunk as she
approached Julie's house and saw a very large U-Haul parked in front. There was a busty blonde standing in the yard holding Franky. Tears were falling down the child's face.
Cassandra got out of the car. She heard Franky crying, "I
want my mommy. I want my mommy. I want my mommy." Just then David came out of the house with another guy carrying a coffee table.
"What is going on here?!" she demanded of David.
"Go away Cassy, this is none of your business!"
"I am making it my business," she replied, blocking their path to the U-Haul.
David and his buddy set the coffee table down in the grass. His buddy walked away lighting up a cigarette. The busty blonde approached still carrying Franky
who continued to cry, "I want my mommy. I want my mommy. Aunty Cassy I want my mommy." He started to squirm, twisting and fighting till the blonde finally set him down. He immediately ran to Cassandra and hugged her legs.
"I
don't want to have anything to do with that bitch anymore," David stated frankley, "I love Tiffany."
"Your WIFE is in the hospital with your newborn DAUGHTER that you haven't even met yet. Do you even know your daughter's name?"
"I'm
sorry its over."
"I'm taking Franky with me."
"He is not your child...you have no rights. Besides where is he going to live? A home without power or furniture is not a fit place for my son to reside."
"What?! You shut
off the power?!"
"I had to, its in my name and I am moving."
Cassandra couldn't hold back any longer. She balled up her fist and punched David in the face. His head shot back and blood started to drip from his nose. He glared
at Cassandra. "Tiffany call the police." The blonde obediently pulled out her cell phone and dialed. David looked down at his son who was still clinging to Cassandra crying. "Come here Franky."
"Over my dead body," Cassandra
snarled. She picked up Franky and dashed to her car. She took off before anyone could catch her. Her heart raced as she sped down the block then pulled into a convenience store. She helped Franky buckle into his car seat before driving
off in the direction of the hospital.
