Every Kind of Way 2

Jayda lazily opened her eyes to find herself in a hospital room. She sat up quickly looking around the room.

Cj was in the corner knocked out sleep with Royalty laying on his chest. Jahlan was in another chair texting away on his phone.

"What happened?"She asked making Jahlan look up from his phone.

"You fell down the stairs mama, how you feeling?"He asked getting up out of his seat and walking towards her bed.

"I didn't fall down no damn steps. Shutup lying boy."She gave him a look and her loud voice woke up Cj and Royalty.

They both got up and walked over towards her bed. As she looked down at her belly she began to panick.

"Where is my baby?"She sat up in the bed and Cj grabbed her shoulder.

"Baby calm dow-"

"No! Where is my baby Cj? Where is he?"She yelled as tears came down her face.

"He didn't make it Jayda."Cj closed his eyes tightly sighing.

Losing his son was hard on him as well, but it was nothing he could do about it now.

Jayda broke down crying as she thought about her baby, "Can I at least see him?"She sniffled and everybody looked off.

"Pops just told them to cremate him, he thought it was going to be hard on you ma'."Jahlan spoke up making Cj eye him.

"I didn't even get to see him...and you just made the decision without me?"Jayda snapped with tears running down her face.

"Can y'all go outside for a quick minute."Cj ordered Royalty and Jahlan.

They both nodded and walked out of the room.

"Why would you do some shit like this to me Cj? You've done some fucked up shit to me, but this tops it."She wiped her eyes staring off.

"Baby I'm sorry okay? I just knew you wouldn't be able to handle that kind of shit. I couldn't even take that shit seeing my lifeless son."

"I'm grown Cj. I don't need your approval for anything."She snapped back.

"Is that why you didn't tell me you were taking melatonin?"He eyed her and she gave him a confused look.

"What are you talking about? I never took melatonin before, I might've given the kids some when they were little but I never took them."

Cj eyed her pacing the room back and forth, "So you gone sit there and lie to my damn face? That's what we doing now Jayda?"

"What the fuck are you talking about? I'm not lying to you Christopher."

"If you not lying why they found the shit in your system. It was a lot of it in your system."

"Yo deadass I didn't take anything! The last I remember is I asked Princess for a glass of water cause I was feeling sick, and then next thing I know I'm waking up in a hospital room."She explained and he stood there staring at her.

"So what you saying?That princess did this to you?"He tilted his head at her.

"If the shoe fits."She shrugged nonchalantly making Cj walk over to her her bed and get in her face.

"You think this some sick ass joke? That's my daughter you blaming, you don't see me blaming Jahlan for half the shit he be doing."He snapped giving her a sinister look, "You need to take responsibility for the shit you have caused. Don't be blaming a innocent child."

"So you believe that I killed my own damn son?"She asked as tears pricked her eyes.

"Hey what you said? If the shoe fits."He shrugged stepping away from her bed.
