Linda has informed me about the convulsions before she went into Jayden's hospital room. The first one started yesterday morning at around four a.m. I can see Sarah eyeing my stomach with curiosity but she dares not ask about it. And I really hope she doesn't. She treated me poorly last time I was here.
"So, how long are you?" She asks looking ahead but I don't answer. I look down at my phone and continue my texts with Shawn. I really am changing.
"Is that my grandchild Candice Martins?" She calls me by my birth names making me still and try to fight the urge to look up. "I know so much about you. Don't think that I'll just sit and see my son destroy his life because of some woman." Sarah says and I turn to her with a smirk.
"That's the problem Mrs Williams." I start and I can see her eyes locked to mine. She has these beautiful brown eyes but one can see the sadness and void in it. She looks tired. "You don't have to love me for me to be with your son. You can take it easy, Jayden and I are just lovers." I say and she narrows her eyes and opens her mouth to retort something but Linda gets out of Jayden's room in a rush. Well, as fast as her pregnant self can move. I think she's due any day now.
"Jada. Jay's calling for you. He's awake." She says breathlessly and I stand as fast as I can. When I'm on my feet I turn to Sarah with a smirk and wink at her before walking to Jayden's door. When I'm in, I forget about the confrontation with Sarah as I see Jayden's pale blue eyes looking around.
"Jayden." I breath out and I start walking to him. I should call the doctor. I need to be assured that he's fine. "Let me call doctor Han." I say my voice low almost a whisper as I turn. But he stops me.
"Linda said she'll do that." He says in a raspy voice and a tear falls as I'm still looking away. I wipe it fast then turn to him with a smile.
"Ohh." I say walking towards his bed. "You're awake." I say dumbly as the image of him convulsing strikes my head.
"And you're so pregnant." He tries to joke but he looks so tired. I let out a small chuckle as I nod. "Linda is too. Funny how two of the most important people in my life are pregnant. What are the odds?" He tries making another joke but I don't react. I only look at him and study his tired face.
"Excuse me. I need to check up on Mr Williams." Doctor Han says and I move to the side giving him space.
"Don't leave." Jayden says and I move to a place he can see me and give a small smile.
'I won't.' I mouth at him.
The doctor tells us that Jayden is showing signs of improvement and the tiredness is common since he just woke up. He then leaves us alone and I see Jayden trying to keep his eyes open.
"Sleep. I won't leave." I say and he nods then yawns. "Your head will be better when you wake up." I say and he smiles.
"I think I need to be shot quite often if I get to wake up to this treatment. It's like I don't know you anymore." He says but shuts his eyes in pain then groans.
"Sleep Jayden. Dr Han said you need rest for your head to feel better." I say sternly and only hums.
"Stop, mothering me." He says in a whisper, his eyes shut I find myself smiling when I realize I'm doing just that. I sit on the chair that was next to the bed and watch Jayden.
He was shot because he wanted to save Ryan. He promised me that he'd do that and he did. How am I supposed to prepay that? I couldn't get to Ryan but somehow I knew Jayden would.
I need to buy the flowers Ryan told me to. I release his hand but he stirs muttering something close to my name and I suddenly smile. Oh, My God! What's happening to me? Pregnancy hormones when I had Ryan weren't this intense. I stand and suddenly bend to his level but when I realize what I am going to do, I stand straight. God, this is getting too much.
I start walking to the door and open it then shut it slowly trying not to disrupt him and start taking in long breaths and releasing then slowly until Sarah's voice snaps me out of my thoughts. I look around to find Sarah, Linda and a man I've seen in pictures with Jayden. Must be his best friend, Dylan.
I know they saw everything through the glass window but how I'm affected makes it somehow embarrassing. 'This is not me. It's the hormones.' I chant inside my head.
'Jada is not an emotional teenager who goes around blushing near every guy she finds attractive. I'm a strong independent woman.' I continue chanting inside my head. I clear my throat looking at them.
"He's asleep. I'm going to get something." I say and pass not waiting for any answer.
"I'll come with you." A manly voice says and I look at him. "I'm Dylan. Used to play with Jayden." He introduces himself and I nod.
"Jada." Is all I say and start walking.
"You're too fast for a pregnant woman." He tries making a polite joke and I stop before I start walking at a slower pace.
"That good enough for you Mr Harris?" I ask and he raises eyebrows in surprise.
"You know my second name?" He comments more than asks. "Impressive." He smirks.
"You are a famous NBA player and also always around Jayden." I say it as a matter of fact and he playfully scofs. But I knew about him when I was on Leo's case. Had to know everyone around the Williams.
"So where are we going?" He asks.
"Florist." He scoffs.
"Jayden hates that shit. Says something about them being too girly." He says and I laugh.
"More reason to buy. My son recommended them." I say and he lets out a smirk.
"The little guy listened to me." He says proudly making me eye him.
"Are we talking about the same kid?" I ask and he laughs.
"Yeah. We talked when he called Jay and he was in the bathroom." He says as we take the last turn to the florist. It slightly worries me that Ryan keeps things from me. I'm suddenly insecure but I try to smile and laugh along making Dylan look at me questionably. Am I that easy to read these days? I'm losing my tough woman touch?
"That bunch of white roses." I say when I immediately spot them. I look for something more colorful. "And arrange another bunch of sunflowers please. Separately." The lady gives me a cheerful smile and goes to the back. I take out the cash and hand it over to her as Dylan takes the flowers and carries them.
We pass through the hotel cafeteria and buy some coffee for us and walk back as I carry them. Dylan tries making small talks and I try to answer most of them.
"Jada, Jayden's awake. He's asking for you." Sarah says as rubs her forehead.
"I think you should both go home. You can come back tomorrow morning. I won't leave his side." I assure Sarah and Linda for some time until they give in. Dylan gets in and talks to Jayden for a few minutes before leaving with Jayden's family and I get in with the flowers and half cup of coffee.
"Surprise." I say with a grin as I get in but Jayden only looks at me with wide eyes.
