I tapped the foot impatiently as I stood in the middle of the lobby of my former workplace. The practice I was working for in Seattle was so nice compared to this dump. I looked around for a familiar face, anyone who could tell me where that geek ex-boyfriend of mine was. You really couldn't miss him, with that giant hair of his. Glancing at my

After changing Sammy's diaper -- something I was starting to become good at -- I gently set him in his new harness.

I feel my anger grow at the memory of Sam clinging to pretty much everyone who held him the first days. "I'm not letting you take him away, I don't care what that says," I nod at the papers she's holding.

"Well, well, well!" I took a step back as well, looking him up and down, "We can do this the easy way, which would be you handing over my god damned child.. or the hard way, which involves me calling the police," I held up my cellphone in a threatening manner, "You are disobeying the current custody ruling, I am complete in my right. So, either way, I will be leaving here with Sam.

Your choice."
