The next morning CD got up earlier then normal, she couldn't stop thinking about all the possibility that could happen now that Brian wanted to be in Brandon's life. She knew legally she couldn't keep Brain away from Brandon since he was his biological father but she couldn't just let him waltz in to his life like nothing ever happened.

She's been up for an hour just holding and looking at Brandon. She knew she had to come up with away to keep Brain away from her baby. She spent fifteen more minutes thinking about what she could do before her alarm went off and woke up Brandon.

"Morning Cowboy." CD rasped; her accent was strong so early in the morning it always made Brandon laugh.

"Mornin'." he giggled

"You sleep good buddy." he nodded

"Hungry." he said closing his eyes again

"What do you want for Breakfast?" she asked hugging him close.

"Pizza." he mumbled against her side.

"That's not going to happen and you know it." she smirked

"Please." Brandon pouted as he lifted his head, he knew if he gave his mom a puppy dog look for a long time she would eventually give in.

"No. Do you want pancakes?" She grinned; he looked so cute when he though he was going to get what he wanted.

"Chocolate?" he asked hopeful

"You want chocolate chip pancakes?" he nodded excitedly "Okay but you have to help me make them okay?"

"okay." She loved making breakfast with him; it was there special time for them. She knew it was time like those he was going to remember when he was grown, so she made sure that he helped cook breakfast or dinner with her.

After making sure Brandon didn't have to go the bathroom. They both brushed there teeth then made the way to the kitchen.

"I get to stir." he declared holding Benny, his gray teddy bear his Aunt Jinny brought him the day he was born.

"Yeah you get to stir." She said right before she heard a knock at the door. "Bran, why don't you take Benny in your room so you don't get flour on him again okay?" She wanted to make sure Brandon wasn't in the room just in case it was Brain.

"okay." he said quickly then ran off to his room. When Brandon was out of sight she walked up to the door and took a deep breath before looking in the peep hole. "Oh my God." she groaned to herself, it wasn't Brain but it was defiantly somebody she didn't want to see. She slowly opened the door and was greeted by the grinning face of a woman she hadn't seen or talked to each other in over six years; her mother.

"What are you doing here?" CD asked coldly

"God Candace I haven't seen you in over six years at least give my a hug before you give me attitude." she scoffed

"I'm not giving you attitude I'm just surprise too see you that's all."

"Well I thought it was be good to see by baby while...I...was...in town." She said slowly as she looked passed CD into the apartment. CD didn't have to turn around to see what she was looking at. "Candy, who's that?" CD turned around and saw Brandon leaning against the couch.

"Brandon, Brandon baby come here." When he reached her, she bended downed to pick him up. "Mom this is Brandon he's my son."

"Your son?" she asked wide eyed

"Yes my son,"

"How long...how old...is he adopted?" she stuttered.

"What!?! No he's my son, I had him." she said trying to keep herself calm in front her son.

"But he's."

"But he's what?" CD asked getting defensive.

"Nothing." she said regretting opening her mouth in the first place.

"Baby, why don't you go play in your room for a little while so we can talk." She said putting him back down on the floor.

"But we suppose to make breakfast." he pouted

"We will, just give me a couple minutes alright." he nodded

"When where you going to tell me I had a grand child?" She asked when Brandon was out of sight.

"About the same time I was going to tell you me and Paul got divorced." she said moving aside letting her mother enter the apartment before shutting the door. She figured she might as well get everything out in the open.

"Is he the reason I mean he's obviously not Paul's son."

"I can't believe you. No! He's not the reason me and Paul got divorced. We were divorced a year before I had him."

"So whose his father?"

"My divorce attorney and before you asked me he walked out on me when he found out I was pregnant.-"

"Well I can't say I'm surprise those people usual don't stay around." she said cutting CD off

"Those people?"

"You know what I mean,-"

"No I don't know what you mean."

"I just meant well you could have pick a better race to have a child with."

"A better race! You're incredible you know that?! He's your grandson and the first thing that you think about when you see him is that he's the wrong race!"

"Candace -"

"It's CD mom, CD; not Candace, not Candy, not Candy striper, not Candy Cane. It's CD, if you don't know my name and can't accept my son for who he is I don't want you here!"

"Can-CD I'm sorry I didn't mean for it to come out that way. First I'm surprised that I actually even have a grandchild. Second the fact that his mixed it just shocked me okay. I do love him." she said trying to explain her

"Well try showing it." she said calmly remembering Brandon was in the next room.

"That's why I'm here; I wanted to start over with you. I want a relationship with my daughter."

"Why?"

"Do I need a reason?"

"Yeah you need a reason. You just don't pop up after six years of no contact with me what so ever and all of a sudden want a relationship. So why?"

"I missed you is that so hard to believe?"

"Yes, yes it is hard to believe."

"Well it's true, I love you and your son if you can't believe that then I don't even know why I try."

"I don't either." she replied sarcastically.

"If that's really how you feel I'll leave." She said walking to the door. She waited expecting CD to come after her, when CD didn't come she walked out.
