The service came Sunday morning and Adam resisted the urge to throw it into the fireplace was watch it burn. He did read through it even though it only confirmed what he already knew. Miranda was filing for sole custody of Bae, claiming that Hannah wasn't even hers, claiming that Hannah was the child of a prostitute that Adam had hired to give himself release when she wouldn't allow him to use her. Adam did roll his eyes at that comment.

"Yes Miranda because I had all the time in the world to hire a prostitute while I was raising Bae." He mumbled to himself. Ruby sat through the whole thing and after reading it over herself turned to her brother.

"Can I punch her? Just one strong punch to the face, or will her boy toy beat me up for that?" Ruby asked in a playful tone trying to lighten the mood. Adam smiled at the thought but shook his head.

"No, the last thing I need is for her to say I allow my "unstable" sister near my children whenever she pleases."

"Well, I am unstable and you do allow me near them whenever I please." Ruby confirmed.

"They don't know that, so shut it!" Ruby held her arms up in defeat. "All I'm saying is I need help not you punching her." Ruby nodded. "I know you mean well."

"Always." Hannah started crying and Ruby jumped up. "I got her." Adam nodded and sat down. He suddenly heard Ruby's voice come through the baby monitor. "Oh what' wrong princess? Did you just want to be held? Should we go see Papa or should we stay here? Between me and you, I think we should stay here for a little while give Papa some time to think. You know, you're Papa's little miracle child. Yes you are. He probably won't tell you about this until you're much older and telling him how much you hate him or he doesn't love you, but if you remember or learn anything else from me it's that your Papa loves you more than life itself. Papa's going to kill me for telling you this but you won't remember anyway. When you were born, there were a lot of complications with you and your Mama. We all thought we were going to lose both of you. You were about a month early and the doctors told your papa to start making arrangements but your papa didn't listen. He still believed that you were going to get better. Your mama was fine but you were in this incubator for four weeks. Your papa was in the chapel every minute he wasn't with you praying over and over again for you to better. He even went as far as willing to trade his own life so you could life yours. So no matter what, never ever think that your papa doesn't love you. I don't think I've seen another person love someone as much as your papa loves you." Ruby wiped away the tears that were falling while she recalled the time where her brother had called her nearly hysterical forcing out that Hannah might not make it and how she had to be his rock.

"Auntie Ruby?" Shit, Ruby quickly wipes away her tears and turns to her nephew.

"Bae, what's wrong sweetie?"

"I heard your voice. I came to see you." Bae said coming over and gently touching Hannah's head.

"You didn't come here to see me; you came here to see your sister."

"I came to see both of you. Why isn't Mama coming back, doesn't she love me?" Ruby felt tears built up in her eyes. She got up and put a now sleeping Hannah in her crib. She took Bae in her arms and sat in the rocking chair.

"Sweetie, I know I shouldn't say things about Mama in front of you I think you're old enough to hear these. Your Mama, she isn't a very nice person. When she met your Papa, she wasn't very nice to him at first. She wasn't nice to Grandma, she wasn't nice to me, and she really wasn't nice to your papa. For some reason, your papa liked her though. Grandma and I tried to tell him that she wasn't worth it but you know Papa, he's stubborn. When he asked her to marry him, I was very mad at him and didn't want to talk to him. However, I got over it. When I found out that your mama was going to have a little baby, I was very excited. The first time I saw you, I could have sworn that I was in love. You were so small and innocent. I wanted to shield you from all the evils of the world. Do you remember Ashley?"

"Yes, she was my babysitter but not right now. She has a little baby of her own and it be rude to ask her to take care of Hannah and me when her little baby needs her right now." Ruby couldn't believe how smart this little boy sitting in her lap was.

"You are so smart Bae. Anyway yes, that's who Ashley was. Mama wanted to fire her that means she didn't want Ashley to watch you anymore. Mama thought that Ashley was irresponsible and couldn't be trusted. Your papa though, he told Mama that as soon as Ashley felt up for it, she would be back to watch you and Hannah again. Mama hasn't been happy for a long time and I think she just needs a little break. Sweetheart, I'm sure Mama does love you; maybe she just needs to spend time away from you and Hannah so she can see how much she loves you. Does that make sense?" Bae nodded even though Ruby was sure she lost him somewhere. She hugged him tight to her. "But you know what, even if Mama doesn't come back, you still Papa, me, and Grandma and we all love you so much! We love you so so much that there's no more room for anyone else to love you."

"Miss Ashley loves me."

"Right, I forgot that Ashley does love you very much. I'm sure that when she meets Hannah she'll love her too. What do you say we let Hannah sleep and go down to see Papa?" Bae nodded and they left the room. Ruby could only think of one thing, Miranda must be some kind of heartless creature to leave this family.
