"It's time to change your bandages." The nurse said walking in.
I looked over at Kentrell who was dry tear stains on his face as he slept in the recliner chair next to my bed. I couldn't sleep. I mean how could I? I was suppose to bring in twins into the world,but one is dead. One is gone. I was still trying to process this whole thing.
I couldn't put together words on how to express how I felt about anyone or anything at the moment. I felt like I was seeing red. I never experienced being in the wrong place at the wrong time,but I definitely wouldn't have thought that place would be my own home. I was still trying to process how did Jania know I was home alone at that very moment? It was so scary to me because Kentrell was besides me for majority of my pregnancy,the moment he's gone this happens? I couldn't help but think of so many scenarios. We had just moved in,and it already didn't feel like home.
I didn't feel safe anywhere. I was starting to get used to living in pain,physically and emotionally. From having two surgery's the other day,my body is sore as hell and I'm still recovering.
The nurse rolled a cart with fresh bandages , alcohol,and sutures. This became a routine for the past day or two. I unstrapped the front of my gown,exposing the two large bandages wrapped around my stomach. The scars were so ugly. I laid back and let her clean up my wounds.
"Amira is doing great down at NICU." The nurse said making small talk. "Weight is increasing. And She's getting her color."
"When can I take her home?"
"Soon. We just want to make sure she's stable and also you need to a psych evaluation." She said making me furrow my eyebrows together.
"For what? I'm fine." I said looking down as she opened up an alcohol pad.
"It's protocol." She said sighing. "You went through a pretty rough two days."
"I'm still capable of taking care of my child." I argued.
"Honey if it was in my control I wouldn't let mothers who just gave birth,go through that. But it's protocol." She said wrapping the bandages around me.
"Whatever." I mumbled. "Thank you." I said adjusting the bandage.
"Lunch should be coming in soon." The nurse said as she walked out. I was on bed rest til further notice and It wasn't fun at all. Me laying down 24/7 just put me in a bad mood because all I thought about was the twins.
Jayda walked in with a "Get well soon." Teddy bear and a bouquet of flowers. The room was already full of balloons and teddy bears.
"You hungry?" She asked setting the things down. "Not really." I replied.
"Where's Princess?" She asked.
"Seriously? Nicknames already." I said smiling for what seemed like the first time in a while. "She's down the hall. Sleep."
"My mama wanted to make you some breakfast since she knew the hospital food was going to be bad but I was in a rush this morning. Sorry boo." She said.
"It's fine. I don't really have an appetite. Tell her I said thank you." I said.
She looked over at Kentrell who was lightly snoring. "How has he been?"
"The same." I said. I honestly felt for him. I didn't like how he was taking the blame for all of this. He never left my side,but It still felt like we was in two different worlds. "He'll be fine. Hopefully." I said looking back at Jayda.
"Oh! I almost forgot." She said digging in her pocket. "I got you some ankle socks. I know it gets cold in here." She said placing them at the end of the bed.
"Thank you. I appreciate it." I really loved Jayda. She made this whole experience a little less stressful for me,even with the busy schedule she had and a whole two year old.
"I know you don't wanna talk about it but the cops are investigating everything. They called in. They said I was the last person you called."
"You were. I had hung up because I thought it was Kentrell who was in my house but.." I said sighing. "I hope they lock her up and throw away the key."
"How are you coping with all of this?" Jayda said sitting away at the edge of the bed.
"I'm not. I close my eyes and just pictures my son. I don't know what to even do." I said looking down at my hands.
"I honestly think after you get out of here. You and Kentrell both need to just stay away from people who are cordial with the ones who hate to see y'all together."
"What do you mean?" I asked
"If i'm not mistaken your mother in law or whatever is cool with Kirah and also Jania. I know that's his mom and all but people who fuck with people who don't like y'all clearly don't really support you. Cause right now I'm concerned for your safety and even Princess." She said. "You two look so exhausted."
I honestly agreed with her. There was no telling who was involved in any of this and it honestly had me looking over my shoulder frequently. "You have a point." I said.
"When are you getting out of here?"
"Hopefully before the end of the week." I replied.
I'm kind of nervous to take her home." I admitted.
"I think for start you should be resting. I'll be over and help you guys out but you most definitely need to be resting. I know these hospital beds ain't doing you justice."
"I haven't slept in almost two days." I said rubbing my eyes.
"Meanwhile he's knocked out." She said as we both looked over at Kentrell.
"Yeah this been pretty hard on him." I said wiping the dry drool from the corner of his mouth with my thumb. "I can't wait til this is all over."
