"What? Both of them!?!"
Magda exclaimed in surprised, she and CD were sitting in her mother's
kitchen eating lunch; which wasn't uncommon for them. Since CD came
to Magda when she found out she was pregnant they became really close
friends. When CD came back to work after Brandon was born Magda even
talked her mom into watching him until they got off.
"Yeah
first Brain last night then my mom this morning."
"What
are you going to do?"
"About who my mom or Brian?" CD
asked playing with the straw in her drink.
"Both."
"I'm
going to get the best lawyer I can find, there's no way I'm going
to let Brian take Brandon away from me.". She said detrimentally
"And my mom well I don't have time for her crap right
now."
"What did she do this time?" she asked concerned
"First of all she shows up out of nowhere, and then when I
introduce her to Brandon she tells me that I could have picked a
better race to have a child with." she explained her voice reeked
of anger
"God that's horrible, she didn't say it in
front of him did she?."
"No but she might as well, the
look on her face said it all. She looked at him like he disgusted her
or something. I never been that pissed at her before." From the
look on CD's face Magda could tell that hurt the most.
"You
have every right to be, she was practically insulting your son. I
would have done the same thing if it was somebody talking about
Ben."
"Yeah I know, but I wish I could have held my temper
better. I had a screaming match between two people in the last twenty
four hours booth times my son was in ear shoot."
"CD
don't be so hard on yourself, you are trying to protect your son.
And your doing a good job at it, so what if you lose your cool every
once in awhile, as long not physical and not towards Brandon it's
okay." She said trying to convince her, she knew CD second guessed
every choice she made when it came raising Brandon but that was
normal for a first time mothers. They sat in a comfortable for a few
minutes until CD voice one of the thoughts that were racing through
her head.
"You think I should try to explain this to him?"
"You mean talk to Brandon about Brain?" she questioned
wanting to be sure what she was about to give advice on.
"Yeah,
I have to be honest with myself I know I can't legally keep him
away from Brandon." she sighed still letting her worried tone seep
through.
"So, what are thinking about doing?"
"I
don't know. What did you do when Gabe came back?" she asked
curiously
"First supervised visits then I let Gabe take him
out for a couple hours during the week. Then when Ben got used to him
let him take him for the weekend."
"I don't think I
could do that."
"Do what?"
"Let him go for the
weekend, the only time he's away form me is when I have to work and
that's to long."
"It'll be hard at first but you're
doing it for him. Plus it'll be worth when he comes home and tell
you how much he missed you, how much fun he had." she smiled trying
to ease CD's fears
"Yeah your right."
"I know."
an uncharacterized like smirk appeared on her face
"I just
have to figure out how to tell Bran."
