The Same Day...

Rushing into Jackson Memorial Hospital, Treyton's mind was all over the place. After Farah had dropped that huge bomb on him, he hadn't thought about anything other than the condition his grams was in.

He couldn't fathom the thought of losing her, not after she turned his life around for the better. He would be damned if she went out this way.

But what angered him the most was the fact that Idah, his sister, hadn't told him anything. 

See Idah is Cicely's adopted daughter. When she was just a little girl, Cicely had adopted Treyton. A little while afterward, they found out that Treyton and Idah were blood siblings.

When Treyton first came home, Idah was all for playing the big sister role. She was happy to help out with him and teach him. But, over time, she began to despise him. He would get all of the attention in school after while and from Cicely's husband, their pop-pop. But, when she learned that their parents, Cicely's son and daughter-in-law, gave her up to try to better themselves for him, she started to hate him. So when she got the call about Cicely being in the hospital, she made sure to tell them not to inform Treyton. She wanted to seem like the golden child for once, and she thought that she could keep up the act. But boy was she sadly mistaken.

When Trey got to the front desk, he was slightly out of breath. The receptionist could see the look of panic on his face, so she was genuine with him.

"Hi! Umm I'm here to see about a Ci-Ci-Cicely Brown? Is she here?! What room is she in?!"

"Sir! Calm down for a second. Just breathe. Now calmer, please tell me who you're looking for."

"I'm looking for Cicely Brown. She was supposed to be here!"

"Okay. And may I ask who you are?"

"Treyton Williams."

"And do you have any ID?"

Nodding and showing her, she printed up his visitor's pass.

"She's on the fifth floor in room 502."

"Thank you!"

Not waiting for a response, he sprinted to the elevator and continuously pressed the button. When he entered, he said a quick prayer for her. He really couldn't lose the main source for him living. Not now. Not ever.

When the elevator stopped on the fifth floor, he ran off and a little ways down the hall before he saw her room door. He dreaded seeing the condition she was in, but he knew she would want him near her anyways.

Walking in, the first thing he noticed was his "family." That consisted of his birth giver and sperm donor, along with their other seed. Their presence really irritated him because now he saw that neither of them were going to tell him.

Looking at him shocked, they all tried to quickly come up with a lie. Truth be told, they were all jealous of him. Here he was successful while they had to struggle and pretend.

"Oh! Hi, baby boy! When did you get here? We've been trying to get in contact with you!"

"Right. Why the hell you ain't call me, Idah? You been up here first and act like you ain't have my fucking number! The fuck your got going on?"
