the limp would go away.
    Vicky bent over as low as she could and hugged her baby girl. Having her wrap her tiny little arms around her neck helped to quell some of the uneasiness she’d been feeling.
    “Hi sweetness, I missed you so much!”
    “Missed you too mommy.”
    Vicky rained kisses down on her precious little face.
    “When we get inside, I’ve got tons of stuff for you.”
    Angel giggled. Then, she looked around to find Jason. Her eyes lit up when she saw him and she went running into his arms.
    He picked her up with ease. “Hey baby girl. I missed you.”
    She kissed him on the cheek, “You too.”
    No one noticed the car that was making its way up the driveway until one of the occupants got out.
    The driver stayed in the car but a woman in a black pant suit approached them, “Excuse me. I am looking for Victoria Martin?”
    Jason walked up to Vicky’s side and spoke before she could say anything. “Who are you and how did you get on to my property?”
    “My name is Alissa Freemont and I work for the sheriff’s department. Security let me on the property once I showed them my badge.”
    Vicky spoke strongly and clearly, “What can I do for you Ms. Freemont?”
    “I’m here to serve you with legal papers. Please sign here?” She handed the papers to Vicky and extended the clipboard to her so she could sign that she’d received them.
    Vicky looked at Jason not knowing what she should do? She’d never been served before. John Lucas, the attorney who had been handling things appeared out of nowhere. He took the papers before Vicky could accept them.
    “I’m her attorney, Mr. John Lucas. Why was this served to her home and not my office?”
    “Sir, we didn’t know that she had any representation and were instructed to serve the papers to her at her home.”
    “Well…I am representing Mrs. Victoria Rutherford. Please return these to whomever. They’ll need to at least file the papers with the right name on them.
    Ms. Freemont paused for a moment as if trying to decide what to do. She eventually made the decision to leave. She got back into her car and left.
    Vicky’s nerves were so bad she felt like she was going to throw up.
    Jason noticed how pale she’d become.
    Miriam Rutherford noticed too. Food could soothe almost anything “How about we all go inside and get something to eat.”
    Jason loved his mother. She always understood what a moment needed. With Angel on his left hip and Vicky on his right side, they walked into their home together.
     

Chapter 9
     
    They were able to have a nice dinner with Aunt Shirley, Mr. and Mrs. Rutherford, Sandy, Franklin, and Mr. John Lucas given the circumstances.
    However after dinner, Vicky, Angel, and Sandy went upstairs to Angel’s bedroom. They spent over an hour showing Angel all the things she and Jason brought her while they were on their honeymoon. Angel fell in love with a giant sea shell Vicky found on the beach. She spent so much time with it that she fell asleep on the floor listening to the ocean.
    Sandy went to pick Angel up and put her in bed next to them. She waited a few extra minutes to talk seriously with Vicky. She wanted to know for sure that Angel was sleeping “How are you doing? Really? You look exhausted.”
    Vicky exhaled loudly. “I’m a little tired but mostly angry and frustrated.”
    “I can only imagine. But, you do know that there is no way Jason is going to let Ryan take your baby away from you.”
    Vicky smoothed Angel’s wild curls away from her face.
    Sandy laughed, “He’d buy you an island somewhere in the world and move you away before he’d let that happen.”
    Vicky rubbed her neck and then her lower back “I know. I just wish…”
    “Wish what?”
    “That Jason would treat me more like a partner than someone he needs to save.”
    “Wow. I wasn’t expecting that. Where’d that come from?”
    “He wants to fix everything instead of us working together to deal with our problems. If he tells me one
