  I woke up to emptiness in my bed and I popped my eyes open jumping up running to Miguel room seeing that he wasn't in his bed i started to panic I tried to control my breathing

"I don't know what to do mom!" I yelled into the phone as 3 year old Miguel cried in my arms "Camila breathe don't let it get the best of you i'm on my way now you said he felt hot and he wasn't eating correct" My mom asked as I look at red face Miguel he kept crying "Y-Yes I mean no mom wait yes he's hot and he's not eating" I said second guessing myself as I bounced him trying to soothe him "I'm on my way baby don't panic" my mom ended the call

I walked into the kitchen with heavy feet and I saw Miguel and Alvaro sitting at the table talking and eating I let out a breath and Miguel looks up and get out of his chair running towards me and crash into my legs I grabbed him and hugged him tightly

I shot a glare at Alvaro "He woke up before any of us he started crying I wanted to help out" Alvaro said getting up

I shook my head "Thanks" I mumbled squatting down to Miguel and he looked at me with a pouting face "what's wrong" I asked him

and he looked at me with his fathers eyes and said "I want daddy" it was like everything had stopped and I stared at him closing my eyes shaking my head "Miguel-"

"I want Ant!" he yelled and it made my heart sink even further at this point i'm pretty sure it fell out of my ass because at this point Ace snapped his head in out direction causing me to pick up Miguel and head towards his room I closed the door quickly

"get dress Miguel" I said low enough for him to hear me

but he just stared at me "Miguel! get dress!" I yelled out causing him to jump and move in the direction of his clothes I took off my scarf and took out my twist as Miguel got dress I hurried and helped him put on his clothes

We stepped out of his room and I noticed Ace left it still didn't change how I was feeling I brought Miguel in my room and changed as he sat on the bed

"where are we going mommy?" Miguel asked kicking his feet

"To see uncle Ant" I said lowly enough for him to hear me once I got done with everything we were walking out of the building when I saw Ace again he caught up to me and Miguel

"Ant is his father?" Ace asked me low enough for me to hear I looked over at him to see that he was clenching his jaw and Miguel was still pulling me to the car

"Ace n-"

"Mommy come on!" Miguel pulled me to the car as Ace stood there looking at us get in the car I strapped Miguel in and closed the door

Ace walked up to my car with anger all in his face "Thats Ant son!?" I jumped when he yelled in my face

"No!" I yelled back as I looked back at Miguel as he looked at us through the widow

"No he's not even if he was why does it matter?" I questioned Ace looking up at him he shook his head

"You right it doesn't matter" he said about to walk off I turned and started to get in the car and I noticed Ace stop walking and started walking back he stood at the passenger side holding the door but because they were locked he stood there I rolled the window down a little bit "what are you doing?" I asked carefully not to scare Miguel

"I'm coming with you" he said noticing my tone he matched mine

"I want you to stay away from Ace okay?"

Ant voice ran through my head over and over again I unlocked the door

he got in and buckled up I swallowed extremely hard "I don't think this is smart" I said not pulling off yet

"I send him to his grandmother house all the time I don't want to put his life in danger do to some beef you have with Ant please" I said looking at Miguel as he look at us kicking his feet

"Just drive Camila" he said in his call voice trying not to scare Miguel I pulled off

Arriving at Miguel's grandma house I felt like smacking myself in the face as I call Ant in the car

"Hello?" he answered with a sleepy voice
"Hey are you home?" I asked trying my best to keep calm
"Yeah what's up?" he asked as I heard shifting around in the background
"Nothing Miguel wants to see you though" I said slowly

"For sure bring little dude here" he said as I look at Ace looking at me I see smiling Miguel in my provisional view

"I'm outside" I said hanging up getting out of the car swallowing hard going to let Miguel out he jumped out of the car and ran up the stairs as I saw Ace get out of the car Ant opened the door smiling at Miguel he looked at me and his eyes went straight to Ace

Ant pulled Miguel in the house and slammed the door as Ant opened the door again and he came out rushing down the stairs pushing me to the side

"you brought that idiot to my house?!" Ant screamed at me I looked at him

"H-"

"Nah I forced her to drive me here" Ace said leaning back on my car Ant looked at me

I tried to speak again "It's not like I can do anything while i'm here" Ace said shaking his head

"Go in the house Camila" Ant told me slowly
I shook my head
"It's okay Ant I brought him here let me-"

Ant cut me off holding his hand up
"Didn't I say stay away from him!?" He yelled in my face

"Yo who the fuck you think you yelling at" Ace said pushing himself off my car
I backed away from Ant

"watch Miguel please I will come back" I said stepping down the stairs
"I didn't want this to happen and I don't want anyone to get hurt let's just-"

"Camila shut up" Ant said Ace stormed into the gate grabbing Ant by his shirt and pulling him

"Why do you keep talking down on her do you actually want me to actually hurt you!?" Ace yelled in Ant face I shook my head as I saw the curtain in the window move I saw Miguel curls

"please stop Miguel can see y'all" I semi yelled

Ace pushes Ant back causing Ant to stumble back and he caught himself standing up straight as the grilled each other

"you still owe me" Ace said to Ant causing Ant to to tense up even more

"Please fucking stop!" I screamed at Ace he shook his head walking back to the car and I looked at Ant one more time "Please look after Miguel he wanted to see you today" I started walking off getting in the car to pull off
