"You think," CJ chuckled, "that you're going to take my child?"

Louis was shaking, keeping his son behind him. He swallowed hard, taking a step back, "I will."

CJ laughed, clapping his hands in hysterics. "An omega -with no mate -a child!" The alpha stomped his foot, wiping tears from his eyes. "How will you work, hm?" He grinned, "You think someone will respect you? You think any respectable Alpha will even look at you?"

Louis refused to cry another tear in front of his soon to be ex-husband. He licked the burning cut on his lip, "You never respected me." He could hear his son whimper behind him. "I'll be fine -we'll be fine."

CJ snorted, "Take him, you'll come back."

Louis shook his head, "I won't." He should feel safer, he was in a court house. But nothing was safe with this man, not even in a public setting. "When I sign those papers -he's mine -we're leaving."

CJ smiled deviously, "Go ahead, he probably isn't mine anyway -I would never produce such a weak alpha."

"He's two," Louis growled.

CJ brushed it off, "he shouldn't be scared of everything."

"He is my son!" Louis bellowed, "I do not care what he is afraid of!" He felt Abraham flinch behind him, clutching his leg tighter. Louis took deep breaths when he felt CJ's aura take a turn. "You've beat us enough, we won't be your toys for abuse anymore. I should have left you sooner."

CJ crossed his arms, "you'll be back."

Louis relaxed when a door opened, revealing his lawyer. "So long as my child breathes, I will never go back to you."

Louis ushered Abraham into their small apartment, shivering at the cold that followed them. Louis put his bag down before removing his large jacket. He bent down, smiling at his son, removing his small jacket, "so cold, isn't it, Abby?"

Abraham nodded, lifting his arms, making it easier for his mother to remove his jacket. The small alpha rubbed his eye, "hungry."

"Okay, precious." Louis hung up their jackets.

The apartment wasn't anything special, one bedroom -one bathroom. It didn't really matter to Louis as long as it kept the cold and rain out, as long as Abraham was safe.

Louis had a job, it didn't pay much but it was enough to feed Abraham and himself. CJ's child support had come in yesterday, relieving Louis of the rent and light bill for the month. It had been three months since he'd divorced him, it took all the money Louis saved but it was well worth it.

Louis worked in a small kiosk, selling jewelry. It was long hours and, now with the cold, the hours felt even longer. It didn't help that Abraham had to come along, it was too cold to keep him outside, but there wasn't much Louis could do. He needed a babysitter, but he couldn't pay them properly until he saved up a little more money.

Abraham was Louis' best friend. He was three now, his birthday was two days ago. Louis was able to get a little cake and Abraham seemed to enjoy it. Louis and him were very similar in their emotions; both being run by their feelings. Abraham didn't make friends, he didn't try. He was a nervous boy and Louis knew why, if he could -he'd kill CJ. His biggest regret was falling for a nice smile and blue eyes.
