family ties

mama has her say

Margaret's: POV
It's been a week since we return from our family vacation. I'm watching my two granddaughters grace and Hope
While Lena went to work at the group home, Francesca is with Stephanie at her restaurant. I look over at the counter and realized Lena forgot her lunch when she left out here this morning, l decided to get the girls ready and take it up to her. She's been under a lot of stress lately after hearing McKenzie's ex fiance kept coming up to her place of business causing a bunch of chaos, demanding to see Francesca when he was the one to abandon her as a baby. I blamed him for my daughter's death, after getting a copy of the autopsy report
Come to find out my baby went into a deep depression after everything David put her through, the whole thing makes my blood boil. I know one thing he better not show up to that group home again, because I have a few choice words that aren't very nice. After finding out l have a grandson who was diagnosed with leukemia, makes my heart ache for this little boy who l've never met. We pulled up to the Seattle's children's home, l parked the car in front
Margaret gets the girls out of their car seats. I make sure the car is locked
They take my hands and we head inside, where l'm greeted with Lena's assistant Sasha. Hi there is Lena available Margaret said, can I ask who you are Sasha says to me. She's just like my daughter describe feisty
Could you let her know her mother's Margaret is here with her little angels
I tell the young woman, oh my goodness, they have gotten so big
I think I remember seeing you at the baby shower. What are their names Sasha asked me, this one here is Grace and the other one is Hope the older woman explains. Their the splitting image of Lena right down to the curly hair, and those eyes are gorgeous
That remind me of Stef's. Hope has her blue eyes Sasha States, how's your day been going so far Margaret Stated
We'll you didn't hear this from me
Mr. Matthews has been coming down here non stop requesting to see Lena
This situation whole thing has gotten way of hand Sasha explained to me
I play dumb like l don't know what's going on, has he come back again
Margaret asks. Actually he's in her office as we speak, sasha tells me
Can you do me a huge favor and watch the girls for me. I don't want them to see this type of behavior
I need where's Lena's office is
Before Sasha could respond we heard shouting coming from down the hall a woman rushing down the stairs, my guess she hears the nose as well
Don't worry l'll take grace and Hope to the playroom Sasha told me l nod my head. my heart is beating so fast
I pray that he hasn't hurt daughter
Margaret rushes down to Lena's office
And sees the door slightly cracked open, l see Lena passed out on the floor. l bust through the door
You hit her one more time I swear to God, you will meet your maker real soon Margaret said. David turns around and is completely white as a ghost once he sees my face, l thought you were told not to come back to my daughter's job. Margaret tries to keep her cool, l came here to speak with Mrs Adams foster about having Francesca tested to see if she's a match. He informed me, David you may not remember me, l've been waiting a long time for this moment
to have my say. I'm not going to let you come in here and try to reclaim my granddaughter, you loss your rights to that child ten years ago when you left on the church steps. You thought I wasn't gonna find out about your dirty secret, you have destroyed my daughter McKenzie's life as well
You pushed her over the edge God rest her soul. l know the day l met you were trouble, this time l will make it my priority that you will never that girl ever. you have no rights to her
You come here like a raging lunatic
Assault my oldest daughter because she refused to have my granddaughter tested to see if she's a match so your son can have her bone marrow. I won't let that happen under my watch, because l'm her legal guardian and my answer is hell no so I suggest you get your ass out of this office and don't return. matter fact those men outside that door will be making sure you don't return Margaret, David couldn't utter a response. David knows he's screwed
I never meant to hurt her, all l wanted was some answers. l guess my temper got the best of me David explains, what did you do here Margaret questioned, l broke her jaw and a few of her ribs. I might have broken her arm, David admitted what he's done
This makes me sick to my stomach
You know where pressing charges so I suggest you get your self a good lawyer Margaret. The EMT enters in
With the stretcher, l watch them lift Lena up off the floor on the bed. she's unconscious. the cops come in and cuff David, Stef's gonna go ape once she finds out he wifes been hurt
