A Dancehall Story Book 3

Chapter 2: Crossed Lines

"Tricia hello, weh yuh deh"? I asked. I was weak but I manage to get the words out.

"Stacy, Queen just tell me weh yuh deh" Line said. My heart sank just hearing his voice send my emotions over the edge, I realize now how much I missed hearing his voice, tears were flowing from my eyes now, I close them just to fight them back. I took a deep breath and gather myself.

"Let me talk to Tricia" I said to him.

"Queen?"

"Let me talk to Tricia and I will tell you where I am" I said. He gave Tricia the phone. I felt so sorry for Tricia. I had to give it to her for holding out, you can't buy loyalty like that.

"Stacy dem hold on to me asking your whereabouts and I am not telling them anything" She said with pure badness behind it, she was also cursing at someone in the background and telling the person to shoot her. They would not dare do her anything.

"Tricia I have baby, it's a boy" I said. She started to scream and sing creating excitement I had to call her name three times before she heard me.

"Please bring my baby stuff, he needs them" I said to her over her excitement.

"Suh wah me do bout dem bredda yah weh hold on pon me?" She asked.

"Just tell him" I said. She said ok mama and before she hang the phone up I could hear her cursing them again. I laugh because I know she was giving them hell and Line was just there quiet and nodding his head to his to music only he could hear.

"Line is on his way" I said to Junior. I know he was hurt to hear me say that to him but I what was I to say?

"When he comes I will leave but I am not leaving you alone" He said.

"Thank you" I said.

"No it's nothing, I would move the world for you if I have to Stacy" He said. I believed him for sure. He kissed my forehead just as the doctors wheeled LJ into my room.

LJ was so precious, how could I never want him I thought to myself as I held him into my arms. The nurse told me he was hungry and I was supposed to feed him, I asked with what she laugh and said my breast. I laughed and cried because reality just hit me that I have a baby that I had to breast feed. I tried and he latched on perfectly, I had no clue how I am going to take care of him but for now he was such a perfect little boy.

I could hear the noise in the hallway, I knew exactly who was out there. I looked at Junior and he understood. He still insisted on not leaving until Line came into the room, I knew he wanted him to know that he was there with me all along and I was somehow ok with it. The doctor came into my room and said the gentleman said he was the father of the baby, I told her yes, she looked at me confused, then at Junior who was smiling like a child, she threw her hand in the air and told the nurse to let him in.

Line came into the room, when he saw Junior if the ground could open and take him in it would. The tension between them was undeniable and I fucking loved it. He looked at me and I gave him the same look. The words he was trying to find could not come out. He took a deep breath, braced himself onto the wall.

"Bredda me need to talk to my wife alone" He said. Junior looked at me for approval and I gave him a small nod that he and I understood. He shook his head at Line as he left the room and I was praying Line did not see him.

He walked over and sat beside me on the bed. He kissed my cheek, held my hand to his face and closed his eyes and said thank you.

I closed my eyes for a moment and tried to remember why I was so in love with him. He was not the easiest person to deal with but neither was I and probably that was why we were so made for each other. I still loved the way he smells, his hair, his clothes, his skin all carried the same scent that I love.

"I'm sorry Queen" He said, it came out as a whisper. He and I were in the room alone, LJ was back into the nursery. He held me as if he was scared to let me go. I thought he would be upset about seeing Junior but it seemed as if Junior did not matter right now.

"You want to see the baby?" I asked. He held my face into his hands and kissed my lips and said yes.

The nurse took LJ back into the room, I watched his reaction when he saw him for the first time. He stood over him, looked at him carefully and said he had his nose and I laugh because it was true. He said he was afraid to hold him because he was so tiny. The nurse told him to wash his hands and then gave him a disposable gown to wear. She then removed LJ from his basinet and placed him into Line arms. He looked like a giant holding a pea in his hands, he did a little rock with him and started to a sing a song I was not familiar with. He danced with him and kiss him, he seemed to be more in love with him that I was. He asked what his name, when I told him Garrick "LJ" Walker Jr. he said perfect.

I was at the hospital for one more day and we argued about where I would stay after I got discharged. I told him I wanted to go home, my mother wanted me to stay with her and he wanted me to come to his house. For peace sake I told him I would come to his house so he could bond with LJ but as soon I am feeling better I am going home. My mother said she wanted to stay into one of the guest rooms so she could help out with LJ and we both agreed to let her stay.

When I got to the house a small nursery was set up in his bedroom, I asked him when he did it and he told me that his aunt and Czar suggested it to him and he had a decorator come to send it up. It was all white with clouds and stars, the crib could fit both of us, it had lights streaming around the cloud it was cute. He told me that he will turn the room that was closed to us in a nursery I said ok even though I had no intentions of living there with him.

Being at his house felt different, the atmosphere seemed so new, he had made changes to the changes that I had made in his bedroom but I will fix things how I wanted them as soon as I am strong enough to move around. LJ was a needy baby, he needed me all the time, my breast felt all the pressure, Line helped where he could but thank God I had my mother to teach us how to take care of a new born. I woke up one night Line was not at home. I called his phone, it rang twice then I heard the voicemail. About an hour later I heard the cars pull into the driveway, I watched as he got out of his car, then the other cars lingered for five minutes, then made their way back down the avenue. I stood at the room door waiting his arrival.

"You know you have a new born and you can't come in this hours, you will bring bad energy into the house on the baby" I said. He laugh and walked pass me.

"Stacy stop chat shit please, I'm not even going anywhere near the Prince until morning light so relax" He said. I hate when he does not take me serious, it annoys the hell out of me.

"Queen just gwan back to sleep, going to take a shower then me come hug you up" He said.

"If you going to continue like this I'm going to have to take LJ and go to my house" I said. He stopped right at the bathroom door, flung his head back with frustration then turn to look at me.

"You keep threatening about going home Stacy, nuh yah yuh live, you call somewhere else home?" He asked.

"Yes because you keep doing some stupid shit and you are a father now, a baby lives here now"

So because I am a father I must stop doing shows and make my appearances or do my recordings?" He asked.

"I never said that but look at the hours Line, you have a baby and you haven't been home from morning" I said. He rubbed his temple and took a deep breath.

"You know you only a do this because you have dah fucking apartment deh, Stacy me will light it a fire and give you back your money enuh" He said. I believed he was dead serious too because his eyes grew bigger and he kept flexing his fingers out of anger.

"Hear how you talk, that make sense" I said.

"Queen stop fuck with my meds, just gwan go sleep" he said, he head to the bathroom, I heard the shower running for fifteen minutes. He came out put some clothes on then head for the door.
