After making it to the hospital, Hazel was placed in a room and had a bunch of wires and IVs to track her and the baby to see how they were doing. I had called everyone on the way here, but since we didn't want the kids to be here for this, they all went to Hazel's mama house. Everyone was able to stay in the room, mostly due to everyone not wanting to leave because they were too concerned, so the nurses had no choice but to let them stay.

"What are we waiting for? She been going through all this pain for almost an hour now, can't y'all just give her some epidural or some kind of medicine to cease the pain." Chandra asked the nurse who did her consistent checks on Hazel.

She would come in almost every 10 minutes to make sure everything was going okay with Hazel, but since she wasn't an ultrasound techinician, she couldn't do much to take a look at the baby.

"We're currently waiting for the ultrasound tech and her OBGYN." The nurse said.

"Well where the hell they at?" Demi asked turning to the nurse. "You can't call them and tell them to pick up the fuckin pace?"

"I'm afraid not ma'am."

"Well I'll be damned." Javier said stepping away from Hazel and towards the door. "Somebody better get in this bitch and check on my nephew. Ion give a fuck if it ain't her eltrahearing tech or whatever the fuck you said, long as they can check and see if the baby is fine."

While everyone started bombarding the nurse with a bunch of questions and comments, I looked over at Amaiya to make sure she was okay. She wanted to stay, despite Javier offering a numerous amount of times to bring her over there to Hazel's mother's house as well. I guess she wanted to stick it out and see what exactly was wrong with her aunt and baby cousin. She was quiet, but I can tell she was just observing everyone as well as the nurse because she was scared of what might be the outcome. I then turned to Hazel in the mist of the chaos, and kissed her hand to get her attention.

"You okay ma?"

"No, my fuckin stomach hurts I just want all of this to be over already."

"I know baby. Is there anything I can do for you?" I asked. "You want some water or something to eat?"

She shook her head no before she squeezed my hand tighter, feeling the pains again. She then looked at me with tears in her eyes and I could just tell that it was more to her hurt than just abdominal pains. If I could take all of her pain away and inflict it onto myself, then I would with no hesitation. I hate seeing my baby like this without being able to do anything about it.

"What's wrong?"

"I wish Juan was here." She said as her tears began to fall.

I'll admit it, Juan and Javier are way better than me at these type of situations. Shit that happens out of the blue that I can't control freaks me out and all I could do is be there for her and make her feel as comfortable as she can. Juan and Javier were like the dynamic duo of brothers when it came to Hazel though. Juan was the one who always knew what to say, being that he always had a way with words and was very encouraging, and Javier is the serene one, being that he was always so calm and knew how to make everyone around him feel as calm as he did when it came down to it. I know her brother not being here for this is crushing her soul, and I'm mad at myself for not being able to do anything about it. I know how it feels to lose an older brother, and even now I can't even say anything to her because I didn't have anybody when I was going through that, which is why I always looked to smoking and drinking whenever I thought about him.
