April 19
The sun was shining, the birds were chirping and I put the baby in her crib. I walk out of the room only to see Rod, standing next to the door in the hallway. "You can leave now, I've got Dream in check", he says making unwanted eye contact with me. I nod and head downstairs to the door. He opens the door, gesturing for me to leave. "She'll see you next Sunday, Kade", he says, "now get out". I roll my eyes and walk out the door to see a limo. It's James, Mike's driver, I called him to pick me up.
I told him not to tell Mike, he doesn't even know about Dream. God know what he'll do if he finds out. It's a silent drive home, with James awkwardly trying to make conversation every once in awhile. I don't wanna talk right now, I'm way to worried about how I'm gonna tell Mike about Dream. If I say the wrong thing, he'll hit me again. If I say the right, he still might get mad. He acts just like his father, just like his mother warned me.
James pulls up to the house, gets out and comes to open my door. We head inside where Mike's sitting on the couch, watching cartoons and eating cereal. "How was work", he asks not looking at me? I shrug, "work was work. But, they made my night shift permanent." He nods,"go upstairs. I need to talk to you".
I head upstairs to the bedroom and sit on the bed. Mike comes in a few minutes later and sits on the bed next to, placing his hand on my thigh. "I feel like you're hiding something from me Kade. You can tell me anything." I looked him in the eyes, he needs this but I can't tell him. I don't want him to hit me but...maybe it's just time.
"Mikey, baby. I think there is something I wanna tell you", I told him, obviously scared to death. He nodded. I cleared my throat and breathed in. I can't do this,"Never mind. We'll talk about this later", I said. "Are you sure"? I nod and get under the covers, pretending to be tired and sleep.
I just hope Dream will be okay. Rod might not want me around but, I'm gonna be an amazing mother. He just needs to let me in and show me the ropes. But, he won't do it because he hates me. I'll get Dream sooner or later and he won't keep her away from me.
