I finally gathered up the nerve to go meet Passion at the hospital. My nerves was all over the place. When I arrived and got ready to enter, I seen Stank standing outside smoking a cigarette. I froze in my tracks. This was my first time seeing him since that night. "Wassup Cinnamon", he said as I just stared at him. I didn't know wether to tell him now or not. I just stood there, our eyes locked. I wondered did he even remember what happened. Finally I found the the words, "Hey Stank, how is she?" He flicked his cigarette, "She good. She's just really upset right now, she's been expecting you though. Go on up, she's in room 307. I gotta go handle something right quick. Tell her I'll be right back".
I entered her room. She was laying there still crying. When she saw me walk in, she reached out to hug me. When i embraced her, she broke down and just cried. I also dropped a few tears. "I'm so sorry Nat, are you okay?" "Simone I don't know, when I woke up to go use the bathroom, all I seen was blood. It was everywhere, when I peed it was just nothing but blood. I woke Stank up and he brought me here. They told me I had a miscarriage".
I didn't know the words to say to her. "Did you see Stank outside?", she began to ask me but the doctor walked in. I got up to leave. I tried to leave but she insisted I stayed. The doctor gave her her discharge papers and left out. "I can take you home, Stank said he had some business to tend to", I offered. "No, it's fine, imma call him. I wanted you to be here but I really would like to just go to my house and be in my own bed tonight". "Passion listen, on the ride over here I was thinking, I could give my baby up or have an abortion. I know you was excited for our kids to grow up together and now things has changed. We didn't plan this together but once we discovered we were pregnant at the same time, we made a promise. Now I feel like I wouldn't be able to go through with it". Passion jumped up suddenly, "No! You couldn't do that. Please I want you to keep it. I would feel better. I would feel like i'm still connected to my child in some way". She made me promise to keep it and I did. Stank walked in and we all left.
Stank and Passion arrived home. Passion plopped down on the couch. "Give me the sack, I need to smoke", she said to Stank. He threw her a bag of weed to roll. As Passion rolled them a blunt she asked him, "How long before you think she will tell me she's having your child?" Stank took his shoes off and sat by her on the couch. "Idk, when she saw me outside tonight, she looked as though she'd seen a ghost". They both laughed and continued smoking.
A couple months ago, Cinnamon's adoptive father passed away. He was the biggest lawyer around. Cinnamon told Passion he had left her 4.5 million dollars and he had an additional 3 million dollar life insurance policy. Along with that, he had 4 rental properties that value at 5 million, She waiting for everything to be transferred over. He had no living relatives and neither did she. It was just those two. After Passion learned this news, her and Stank immediately thought of a plan to reap all the benefits. Killing her would be too easy and they wouldn't be guaranteed the money.
"Idk when she's gonna tell me nor you but she needs to hurry up so we can get the ball rolling", Passion said to Stank as she inhaled the weed. "This your plan, you sure she's gonna cooperate?", Stank asked. "If I know her, she's gonna spill the beans eventually. Let's be patient", Passion replied as she passed the blunt to Stank.
Their plan was to somehow get Stank and Cinnamon alone so he could impregnate her. They both had been waiting for weeks for the perfect moment. They thought if she had Stank's kid, this would entitle them to all of the money after they killed her.
Back at her home, Cinnamon just sat in the dark and silence. She didn't know where to turn and had nobody to turn to. She contemplated so many times to text Passion to tell Stank to come over. Suddenly she felt a sharp pain in her abdomen. She took a few tylenol and layed down. "Maybe another time", she thought as she was fast asleep....
