"Ok JoJo remember what we talked about" I said my hands were gripping the steering wheel so hard my knuckles were white.
"No gangster talk" Joey replied
"Yeah we don't want to make the judge think I'm a bad influence on you" I said
"Daddy what's a bad influence anyways?" Joey asked
"It's when someone does something bad and someone they love tries to copy them" I explained
"But talkin slang isn't bad" Joey said
"Yeah well we know that but the judge might plus you are dressed up all nice so could you just talk nice please for me?" I begged
"This suit is wack why do I have to wear it" he said
"Because if I have to wear a suit so do you" I said
"That's low" Joey said crossing his arms.
I just laughed.
"Why can't Macky come with us?" he asked
"Because she had someother things to take care of" I told Joey.
Mackenzies Pov:
I was way over across town I had called Miranda and asked to meet her.
"Hey" she said waling over to where I was sitting.
"It been a while" I replied
"Yeah it has" she said
"So let's make this clear I do not support you in taking Joey away from his father" I said plain and simple
"Why?" she asked
"Because John has been through hell taking care of that little boy" I said
"He looks like he is doing well for himself now" she replied
"Yeah but do you think it was easy for him, he has been through so much he had to go to night school to get his degree plus with the wrestling training and taking care of Joey I have no idea how he did it"
"I alway knew you liked John but this just proves it" she said
"Hell yeah I love him but I respect him also all he had to do he has and now you come back from God knows where and try to take his son away from him!" I exclaimed
"Do you think it was easy to leave him?" she asked
"For you yes I think it was, you even said yourself you never wanted a baby and the only reason you kept him was because you didn't feel right about having an abortion" I said
"Well things have changed I have a boyfriend who I adore and he has two kids and we want them and Joey to be a family" she said
"Isn't that just perfect an instant little happy family well aren't you forgetting one thing?" I asked
"What?" she asked
"John, you dumbass hoe" I yelled. Which got me a couple of stares from people who were in the resturant.
"I'm Joey's mother" she said
"And John is his father and the only parent he knows" I said
"I went through 15 hours of labor to bring him into the world" she said
"Yeah well John has been through 5 years of loving that little boy so he pretty much beat you right there" I said and then I left. I knew if I didn't I was going to do something I was going to regret. It was 12:30 so I just had enough time to go home and change and then head down to the court house.
