The apartment had been paid for by Mala useless other mother, When her daughter has been born Jasper had been left in the cold without a penny to her name. But her sister had an ace up her sleeve, she knew a young prodigy who’d gone into the legal system and turned out to be a ruthless lawyer who squeezed every single dollar out of someone. At least when the deserved it, she always wanted to be the good guy. Her name was Peridot, she was only four feet tall but she was a feisty little spit fire who had no fear when it came to fighting for what she wanted.<br/><br/>After looking over Jaspers case she had gone to work, it took two long years but an agreement had been put and place and papers were signed. Jasper's ex was forced to pay child support, but instead of monthly payments the ex had paid one lump sum, they settled on a sum of nearly three million dollars. The total had been totaled to include any expense or need Mala would have growing up, plus with a chunk set towards a collage slash university fund. The only rule was Jasper could never contact her ex ever again, the only flaw was it left Jasper open to be contacted if her ex ever desired to.<br/><br/>Jasper set to work with the money, buying the apartment in the upper class area of the city making sure it had room for growth and space for what ever hobby Mala got into as she got older, the only thing Jasper really spent money On herself was a deluxe king sized bed, something she could fit on and sleep like a normal person instead of at an angle, it was a dream come true.<br/><br/>The rest of the money was set in a savings account, when it collected interest Jasper took a small amount out and used it to take Mala on a wonderful creative vacation, something she never had as a kid.<br/><br/>When she heard movement outside of her room Jasper groaned, sitting up slowly she moved to the edge of her bed, grabbing a large shirt of the floor and slipping it on, getting it on in time for a knock on her door only for Mala to barge in the door. Yawning slightly Jasper just smiled as she leaned forward to hunch herself over “I told her when she’s home she doesn’t need to have manners, After all it’s not like I ever bring someone home” she teased as she stood up slowly, soon coughing heavily and  flopping back onto her bed.<br/><br/>Mala crawled onto the bed and played with mothers thick mane of hair “Doctor told you not to get out of bed” Mala explained as she tried to pull her mother back into bed. Jasper snorted as she forced herself to sit up again. “It’s just a chest infection.. The doctor said he’ll call me in a couple days to let me know what’s going on. I’m sure it’ll be a couple pills and then I’ll be fine” she muttered as she waved her hens trying to stop her child from playing with her hair.
