Melinda walked across the street back to her shop, she just dropped off her 5 year old son Aiden off at school. Melinda unlocked the door and heard someone approaching her from behind. "sorry we're not open yet" Melinda said as she opened the door and began to walk in. "Melinda" Jim said from behind her. Melinda noticed the voice and turned around "Jim! What are you doing here?" she asked him nervously. "We need to talk about our son" Jim said as he followed Melinda into the store. Melinda in her mind was asking herself questions. How the hell does he know about him. "Our son? Oh you mean my son" Melinda said to Jim. "No, I mean OUR son, the one you never told me about" Jim said in a stern voice. "I didn't have to tell you anything. It's none of your buisness" Melinda said in sort of an attitudish voice. "He's my son. Mel, come on just let me spend a few hours with him after school and on the weekends. Please" Jim asked her sweetly. "No" Melinda said as she walked to the door and opened it "Now please leave" she told Jim. Jim sighed and walked out the door. Melinda shut the door and locked it up.

A few hours later Melinda walked across the square unaware Jim was watching her to pick up Aiden. Melinda took Aiden's hand "How was school baby" Melinda asked him "It was ok" Aiden said "Can we go to the park" he asked her. "Maybe later ok, we have to get back to the shop" Melinda said. "I'll take him" Jim said from behind her. Melinda turned around and seen Jim behind "Uh NO, thats ok" Melinda said. Aiden stared at Jim, Aiden knew it was his father because Melinda sometimes told Aiden about him when he asked about him "Hey mama it's daddy from the picture you told me about" Aiden said looking at Melinda. Melinda picked Aiden up "Come on we have to get back to the shop" Melinda told him "But, daddy said he would take me to the park. Please" Aiden pleaded. "No not now" Melinda carried him across the street and walked into the store "Why don't you go play in the back." Melinda told Aiden. "uh ok" Aiden said staring at Jim. Aiden went into the back room. "Mel, come on just let me spend some time with him, it's obvious he wants to spend time with me" Jim said. "NO. You are not spending time with my son" Melinda said. "He's my son too and I have every right to see him" Jim said sternly. "GO NOW. I Don't Want You Here. JUST GO" Melinda started to get upset. Jim backed away "You left me no choice Mel" Jim said and walked away. Melinda closed the door and locked the shop up.

A few days went by Melinda hadn't heard from Jim since the day at the shop. Melinda was waiting for Aiden at the door "Come on baby, hurry up" Melinda called through the shop. Aiden came running out of the back of the shop with his back pack and lunch bag. "Ok" Aiden said. Melinda locked the shop up and put Aiden in his booster seat and drove home. Melinda got Aiden out of his booster seat "Hey look Daddy is here" Aiden said. Melinda looked and sighed. Melinda carried Aiden up the step "What do you want, Jim" Melinda asked Jim in a exhausted and annoyed tone. "My son" Jim said. Melinda sighed and opened the door for Aiden. "Why don't you go inside. Mommy will be there in a minute" Melinda told Aiden. "Ok" Aiden said and went inside. Melinda shut the door "How many times do I have to tell you NO" Melinda said. "Actually you have no say in this, I went to court and I have a court order that says I have every right to see my son and that I get him 2 times a week and one overnight on the weekends" Jim said. "Excuse me? You what?" Melinda said in a shockingly voice. "You heard me" Jim said in a evilish voice "So my first night starts tonight. So you might want to go get him ready" Jim told her. "Your not taking him" Melinda said. "Yes I am" Jim said "and if your going to be a problem, I'm gonna call the police and tell them you are denying court orders". Melinda sighed "Fine, but don't think you are getting away with this. You want a war you got it" Melinda went inside and got some of Aiden's clothes ready. Melinda came down with a bag and threw it on the couch next to Jim "Baby you call me if you don't want to stay or get scared ok" Melinda said to Aiden as she kissed him on the cheek "I'll be fine mommy" Aiden kissed her and walked out the door with Jim. Melinda watched as Jim drove off with Aiden "It's on" Melinda said to herself and shut the door
