Chapter Eighty

"Surprised to see me" Lora smiled looking at us, why was she even here. "It better if we ignore her" I explain to Emily as we turned to leave. "You can't just ignore me without hearing me out". Emily stopped at the track. " And what would a low life like you want to say". "Low life? She laughed tinting her head one side to stare funnily at us. 

" well I see you're just making yourself known to the world, you're a low life here". Emily let's go staying here with her won't yield anything "do you think so, well I've come to inform you not to stress yourself in this courts issues before there's no need, no lawyer would like to give a child out where she'll be suffering and do you think that Sam doesn't have a plan B" she laughs. "You can't just be foolish like this you know" 

"If you keep standing there and rattling your mouth out, you won't like what next I'll do to you". " you can do anything you want to, just bear in mind that you're going to lose on this case" with this she turned and left. "Why does she always like making trouble" Emily fumed from another end. "Some people are just like that"

"Mummy if you had seen the fishes, it was mind-blowing, the other has a lot of colors in it, it looks like the prince of the ocean and the shark". She placed her hand on her chest. " Was breathtaking".  "Oh, I think I've missed such a fun place". " you don't have to be sad uncle Andrew promise me that he'll take me there again, he can join us then". She smiled holding out her hand to touch my face. 

"Thanks" I kissed her hair and watched her ran out in excitement "seems she has to go that would occupy get mind for weeks" I turned to Andrew. "Yeah, she loves it today, she even spoke of putting them down on her drawing books. " it would make her happy" I stood up to place a light kiss on his lips. "Thanks". "  my duty is to make you happy". 

"So about the court? I asked moving to stand by the window. " nothing there, we have already submitted the required later stating our side of the stories, we're to be present in court next week" Andrew answered watching me, even after visiting the lawyer and have him assure me that he'll try his best, there was this heaviness on my heart that refuses to go.

I placed my hand on the wall next to the window to support me, I just feel weak at the moment. "Are you okay? He asked still watching me. " I nodded but still didn't look up to meet his glance. "I hope I have vi ens the lawyer everything he needs, copies of all the documents concerning Sunny, stating how she was doing very well in my care, I have to be strong for her, this is the battle I have to fight against Sam and hope I'll win.

" I know how you're feeling but it's okay" Andrew walked toward me holding me close to his chest, I let myself relax in his arms. "You need to rest" he pulled me away gently. "No, I still have things to check on". " like? He asked. "Like if theirs anything else required for this hearing". " if theirs anything the lawyer would let us know, we just have to give faith now" I nodded and allowed him to led me upstairs In the bedroom we both share, I find this warming since I've spent years sleeping alone. 

He tugs me into sleep, patting and stroking my hair. I didn't even know when I fell into a deep sleep. "Mummy! I heard Sunny voice I turn and saw her running toward me, I opened my arms happily to embrace her but now realize that she wasn't running toward me but toward a man who held out his hand for her. No, Sunny" I called  "I'm your Mummy not him" But she just stare at me without a word, I found myself screaming for the man to let her go but when he turned to me, I found Sam smiling and carrying my daughter away from me. No, bring back my daughter I yelled at him, I tried to run after him but he was much faster than I was, tears stare crowding my eyes as I ran and yelled after him.

"Mummy, Mummy" Sunny but... I shot my eyes open to see my child crying eyes on me. I drew her into my arms immediately, kissing and soothing her. Thank God it was just a dream I thought, it felt really real, it felt as if I was losing my Queen. I pulled her gently aware to scan her face. "Why are you crying," I asked her "you're were screaming so loud and I was so worried about you". " I'm so sorry baby" I held her close and tried my best to forget about the dream, it felt so real, I lost mu daughter to him in the dream. 

I went downstairs when I have soaked myself in the bathtub for some minutes trying such as can to clear my head, I saw a note on the kitchen counter from Andrew telling me he was on night duty tonight. I smiled settling myself on the couch with Sunny beside me.

"You had a dream? Mandy asked when I told her about the dream. " yes a very terrifying one, I dreamer when Sam took my daughter away from me, it was the first feeling". She moved closed to me and a place her arm around me. "It's okay, it just a dream you just have it because you've been thinking and stressing yourself about this later". " I think so" I smiled and walking toward my laptop to open it. "Guess what? She asked settling on the chair opposite me. 

"Hmmm, we have another job offer". " hmmm, no not that"   "okay, I placed my hand on my chin to think about anything. " Ummm I don't think I can guess" I burst into laughter. "Such a blockhead" she laughed.

"One of our clients asked me out". " wow! Tell me more,  I winked at her. "He's hot and okay for me I guess". I laughed at her description "good luck then" I raised my thumb out for her.  "Do you think it'll work," she asked making a sad face. "They decision is left for both of you"
