Let Me Love You Again
Chapter 95

Maya

I was in pieces. Destroyed. I hadn’t slept in days, I hadn’t eaten in days and I knew how f*****g wrong it was, I had to think about my little girl too, but I couldn’t think, to breathe without my little first begotten son.

I had to see him, hug him, and inhale his wonderful scent. I didn’t give a s**t about all these stories these four assholes were shooting, and, yeah, I didn’t even care that my father-in-law was involved. I didn’t care about anyone, just Axel.

“Where’s my son,” I said for the second time, this time with clenched teeth.

The judge looked at the social worker and nodded. The woman got up and left the room. I also got up and I stood behind Nate, putting my hands on the back of his chair, feeling agitated.

I couldn’t take it anymore, I was tired, under stress and scared. If I could replace a hair off my baby’s head, I’d burn the whole building to the ground.

I knew that in the last few days Axel was doing relatively well, I knew he had eaten little, but he had done so because Lucas was taking care of him. But no one could know if a child was as good as his mother could be.

Nate put his hand on mine, the one with the silver ring, while I was waiting for the door.

I didn’t care about anything else, just Axel. I wanted my heart, my love, my baby back.

I shook Nate’s hand without even realizing it when the door opened and the f*****g social worker came back that I wanted to choke with all my might.

“Gentlemen Dare, the child is coming on this floor” I did not finish talking so I immediately walked to the door.

I heard Nate move behind me and we both walked out of the damn room. Neither of us cared about that whole charade, Nate’s dad would take care of it. All we cared about was our baby.

I looked in the hallway but there was no one there until the elevator doors opened and the desperate crying of my baby filled the large space.

My heart broke more and immediately I moved to the elevator.

Axel kicked and wanted to untangle himself from the embrace of the social worker and, as soon as he saw me, he began to wiggle even more so that the woman was forced to put him on the ground and he immediately ran towards me while I collapsed on my knees and took him in flight.

“Mommy,” he cried desperately before hurling himself into my arms.

I burst into tears as I held him to myself, certain that I would never leave him alone again. I sunk my face into his neck as Axel held onto me with his arms and legs and cried desperately.

I sobbed as I held his body to mine, and I didn’t care about anything around me, just him in my arms. I heard Nate mutter at someone, and I got up and went to an empty room, holding Axel close to me.

I walked in and I heard the door close behind me, and I turned around and I saw Nate holding the bag with Axel’s things. I watched him cry as I cradled Axel who continued to cry in despair, clinging to me just as I was to him for fear that they might tear him from my arms again.

Nate put the bag on one of the chairs and then came towards us, surrounding both of us in his arms. He kissed Axel’s head and then looked at me, wiping tears on my cheeks.

“Daddy” sobbed Axel in despair.

Nate grabbed him and held him, while I felt all the anxiety and stress of the last few days hitting me.

I began to breathe anxiously and felt my head turn, my sight blurred and I tried to catch my breath while I leaned with my hands on the table, holding on.

“Maya,” Nate said in a concerned tone.

I took some deep breaths and I felt Nate behind me as he surrounded my pelvis with one arm and held me close to him.

“Please, mon amour, tell me you’re okay or I’ll take you to the hospital immediately,” he said as Axel calmed down.

I could still feel my baby sobbing slightly and the anger filled me.

“I want to tear apart whoever made him suffer,” I said with clenched teeth.

“Shhhh love, we will,” he said, kissing me on the head.

“I want to go home Nate, I want to have my baby with me and sleep with him, I don’t want to be around these people anymore,” I said, turning around and resting my forehead on Axel’s blonde head.

Nate kissed Axel and kissed him before giving it to me again.

Nate

I took my cell phone and typed a message while Maya cuddled with Axel who had stopped crying but was silent, too silent compared to his standards.

Worry took over my body as I sent a message to my father.

Can we go home? I want Axel at his house.

We’ll take care of it.

I sighed and watched Maya gently lull Axel as he held on to her.

“We can go home, Dad takes care of the rest,” I told Maya.

She nodded and continued to hold Axel to herself, resting her chin on his blonde head. Axel was quiet, I could only pray that this bad experience didn’t leave a mark on him, that it hadn’t changed him, as I knew it could happen especially in such small children and at that moment I just wanted to smash the face of anyone who approached him again.

I put my hand on Maya’s side and drew her to me as we headed toward each other. When the doors opened, we walked in, and that’s when the dickhead came out of the room we were all in before.

I saw him put his hands on his face and then he turned to us. Maya had put her head on my shoulder and looked at him, I felt her stiff as he raised a hand to greet her, I could see that he had a sad look on his face as he looked at us but I didn’t care.

He gave Maya a sad smile as if it were a farewell before the doors closed and he disappeared from our sight as our eyes met our reflection on the elevator doors.

The two of us hugged, Maya with her head on my shoulder, me with one arm around her pelvis, while Axel was clinging to her.

All that mattered was that we were finally together again. The three of us and the baby growing inside of Maya.

I didn’t care about the rest, I didn’t care that Brad could be changed and wanted to take responsibility. He was selfish and I knew it, but he was my son, he was when I laid my eyes on him and he threw up on me. He was my son, and he would never go near him.
