Izzy eyes blinked as he looked around the hospital room and he looked over and saw his mom sleep on the sofa bed. His eyes trailed over and he looked out the window and seen it stars in the night sky. He looked on the other side of him and saw Gregg knocked out in the other empty hospital bed. His long legs literally hanging off the bed.

"Gregg" he whispered as Gregg swiftly jumped up and gasped, "Izzy!" He climbed out the bed visible dick print in his shorts as he rushed over to Izzy's side. He grabbed Izzy's hand and exhaled, "Are you okay?"

"Yes. Yes. I am, but what happened? Is the baby"

"He is fine. Your stress caused you to have some bleeding but its back under control. You did need a blood transfusion and Raven turned out to be a perfect match for you. He down the hall with Setta who got kicked out for getting a tadbit too loud with the doctors about you. Want me to go and get them?"

"In a bit...I just" Izzy said with his eyes feeling with water. Gregg grabbed hold of his hands and exhaled, "Shhh don't stress. Its alright you didnt harm him. He has Royal KING BLOOD IN HIM he is a trooper." Izzy smiled at Gregg as he heard his mom voice, "Isaiah you are awake." She rushed over and the two of them hugged.

Down the hall Setta sipped her coffee and stated, "Oh My God" as she stared at her phone and saw a collect call coming thru. She looked over and saw Raven knocked out under the covers. She went over to the corner and answered.

"Yes I fucking accept."

The call quickly picked up and she heard Dre's voice, "Baby."

"Dre! Are you okay? Its fucking 2 AM why are you just getting a call."

"My cousin works here at the jail she took me from my cell to make this call. We dont have long. Where are you?"

"At the hospital. Izzy fainted and had some bleeding waiting to hear back. What is going on with you?" She asked him.

"They got us on drug charges....Rome will get us out of here I aint worried. How are my siblings?"

"The twins called about an hour ago. They are all sleep. They have baby June. Im heading out of here in a few hours after I see Izzy. Ill see them for breakfast for sure. And one more thing Dre"

"What?" He asked.

"Get out of there. We have a wedding to plan. I found the ring and I dont care what over the top thing you had planned but the answer is yes so propose to me nowww."

He laughed and said, "You want me to propose to you over a damn jail call?"

"It'll be a story for the grandkids. Now propose!" Setta snapped as he licked his lips and leaned against the wall and stated, "Basetta will you marry me. I was working on the biggest speech of life and you can find that with your snooping ass in the black bag in the closet. Read it when you get to the house"

"I do. Now get home. Do I need to be looking for a lawyer or something?"

"Rome got us. You make sure Izzy is good."

"And can you tell Rome I got him."

"Got who?" Dre asked confused.

"Just tell him Izzy will be okay."

"Why do—say no more. I Will." Dre said cutting his own self off as his cousin gave him the signal to hang up. He hung up the phone and his cousin walked him back down the hall towards his cell.

"They have yall all split up. However, Yard Time is where you would see them. Keep your head low til after breakfast."

"My cellmate is some fat nigga who just been reading since I got here"
