Today was my last doctor's visit. I was 8 1⁄2 months. At any day now, I could have my beautiful baby boy. I had so many mixed emotions about this. The nurse returned to the room to go over the final procedures and preparations. "Well Ms. Robbins, everything looks good and you're all set to go. Are you ready?" "As ready as I can be I guess", I joked. "Well from our testings, both you and your baby boy are healthy. We will be on stay by if he decides to come early. Do you have any other questions for me?" "I do actually, have you scheduled another doctor for my delivery?" You could see all of the worry and emotion on her face. "I've submitted your request, unfortunately we've been short staffed so I can't promise anything, but I will let you know". "Thank you". I gathered my things and left.
Luke's right hand man dumped Stank back at his car and drove off. Stank sat in the driver's seat and just stared in a daze. He pulled out his phone and called Cinnamon. She didn't answer. He then called again and she answered, "I'm leaving the doctor, wassup?" "Go straight home, I'll be waiting for you", he answered and hung up.
He arrived at her house and 10 minutes later she pulled up. He jumped out the car. When she saw him, she jumped with such shock, even though she knew where he had gotten his bruises from. "OH MY GOSH, hurry up in the house, let me clean you up!" She drug him inside her house and attempted to clean him up. He refused her help. "You lied to me. You said that was my baby. I heard everything you told Passion. Why you lied??" "Stank, how was I supposed to tell her it's your baby, huh? I'm supposed to tell my best friend that her boyfriend is my baby daddy? That's what you want me to do? I didn't want Pete coming round so I had to make up something". He just stared at her. "Let me clean you up at least Stank". He knocked her hand away again. "Is it really mine or you really fxcking him?", he asked with his head hung low. "Yes it's yours, I'm positive", she answered. "Well when you have him, I want a DNA test and in any event that it is his, get ready to raise him alone". He got up and left.
I called Luke and told him we needed to meet discreetly. He gave me an address and I told him to meet me in 30 minutes. I didn't want Stank to still be anywhere near and follow me.
Stank arrived at the house. Passion's eyes lit up with fear." Babe! Oh my gosh are you okay?! What happened to you?!" "I'm fine. That nxgga Luke bout to get handled, don't care if it's his kid or not. Im tired of this dumb axx plan, tired of dealing with you. I don't even care about the money any more! I gotta kill him". Passion ran over to him, hugging him, "Look I know you're upset but we've made it this far. Just please hold on for a couple more weeks. I swear it's all gonna be worth it. Dont go doing nothing dumb just yet, please". Stank pulled away from her, "He's gonna get dealt with. You got a couple days to figure out what you gonna do". He went and got in the shower. Passion rushed to her burner phone and sent the message, "WE NEED TO MEET ASAP!!! HE'S ABOUT TO FOLD!"
Luke pulled up to the spot and called Cinnamon. "I'll be there in 5 boy", and she hung up. He laughed and began to roll up. "Dxmn girl, I thought you was bout to set a nxgga up!" "Boy hush. Listen, Stank getting real antsy, what we gon do?" "Listen shorty, you don't need to worry about none of that! I told you imma handle it and just know it's handled. Dont stress". I stared in his eyes, "Why Luke? Why you so eager to help me? Are you just after my money too? I swear, I just wanna raise my child in peace", I began to weep. Luke consoled me, "Shorty listen, I got my own money. I'm helping you cause I want to, cause I want you. You know OG wasn't having that. He spoke so highly of you and when I met you, I put in my mind I had to have you. And besides, that punk axx Stank gotta go! You saw how I beat his axx earlier?" They both laughed. "Luke for real, thank you, for everything. Even though you say you not scared just keep an eye out for Stank, promise me". He pulled me from his chest and looked me in the eyes, "You got my word shorty". "And Luke promise me one more thing, promise you'll be there through it all?" "I promise shorty". They both just stared at each other, then Luke leaned in for a kiss, I pulled back, "Luke..... I can't, I'm sorry".
At the hotel room, Passion paced back and forth. She called the woman, no answer. She called 4 more times, still no answer. "Uhhhh, where the hell you at?!", she screamed at her phone. Finally a text came through, "I'm parking, be up in a few". A few minutes later, there was a knock at the door and Passion rushed to let the woman in. "Babe, OMG, I missed you! I'm getting so tired of not being able to be with you", she said as she embraced the woman. The woman entered the room and shut the door. "You know I miss you too Passion. Now what's the emergency? Know we can't risk getting caught". "Stank is going crazy! He's talking about throwing the whole plan, he dont believe the baby is his, he's planning to kill Luke. I just dont know what to do!" The woman grabbed her, "Hey look at me. Imma be there every step of the way. I'm not gon let nothing happen to you, I swear. Just hold on, it's not gon be too much longer. Pretty soon we gon be on the beach in Dubai, enjoying life". They both smiled and kissed each other. "Now let me get back to business, keep me posted". The woman hugged her and kissed her one last time then left.
I arrived home. "What a day!", I let out as I plopped down on the couch. I rubbed my stomach, "Just hold on little Alex. Pretty soon, all this will be all over and me and you will be okay". As I stood up to go get in the shower, I noticed a puddle of water at my feet. "What the hell??" Quickly I scrambled to get my phone. I dialed the nurse's number and told her what had just occurred. "Get here quick Ms. Robbins, you're going into labor"!!
I panicked. I didn't know who to call first. I began to cry. Do I call Luke? Or should I call Stank? If I called him, it would look weird to Passion though. Should I just call Passion? I sent the same text to each person in 5 minute intervals.
Stank received the message but deleted it quickly. A few minutes later, Passion received the same text. She showed it to Stank, "Better get ready, it's showtime". She replied back to Cinnamon, "GIRL IM ON MY WAY!!"
