Chapter Nine

“Do you have anything written down?” Richard asked.

“What do you mean?”

“Anything concrete that suggests he wanted nothing to do with your child?”

Damon held on to Teri’s shoulders. With his body pressed against her, he felt the tension mounting inside her, and all he wanted to do was take it away. Ever since Richard had entered the diner, complete with Chloe following behind him, things had been tense.

“I have text messages. That’s it. When I told him in person that I was pregnant, he told me to get out.”

“Can I see them?”

Anna nodded. She reached into her jean’s pocket, then scrolled through her phone before presenting Richard with what he asked for.

Damon stared at the man’s face, trying to get a read on him.

“This is good,” Richard said.

“It is?”

“Yes. Don’t get your hopes up. People can have a change of heart. But I can talk to David’s lawyer. We can perhaps come to a custody deal and an arrangement.”

“I don’t want to be away from my son,” Anna said. “Please, don’t let him take him.”

Richard reached over and put a gentle hand on Anna’s arm. “Listen to me, Anna. I will not allow this man to take your son. Not if I can help it. What I mean is text messages alone are not a guaranteed custody agreement. What I’m suggesting is with this evidence and some conversation, we can arrange for him to agree to grant you full custody, and he can have limited visiting rights. How does that sound?”

Anna nibbled on her lip, pressing them together. “That sounds fine. I mean, he was paying for Cole and he took care of the hospital bills. Cole should know his father, but…”

“What is it?” Richard asked.

Anna’s gaze went to Teri.

“You’ve got to tell him, sweetie. He’s on your side.”

“I … er, I don’t know if his interest is only because of what is happening in his personal life. He’s gotten a divorce, and was in the process of separation when I was with him.” Anna fidgeted as she talked. “I’m terrified that he’s going to try to take my son, get back with his wife and have this perfect family structure. I don’t have that. A judge would want that, right? For a baby. To have the perfect family.”

Teri pulled out of his arms and went to Anna, crouching down to be on her level. “Look at me. A judge wants to have a perfect family, but there’s no such thing. Okay? Every family has problems.”

“I’m alone,” Anna said.

“No, you’re not alone. You’ve got me and Kitty, and the club. We’re your family.”

“She’s right,” Damon said. He’d agreed to be here for James as he was dealing with some personal stuff.

“The club will have your back.” He smiled at Teri, hoping his presence was helping.

“Would that be a good thing?” Anna asked. “Don’t clubs have a bad reputation?”

“Most do, and the Dirty Fuckers aren’t exactly model citizens. However, they pay their taxes, are hardworking, and to be honest, they’ve brought some decent employment opportunities to Greater Falls.
