Dorinda's POV

I sat in the hospital for a while before Jaya woke up. They tied her to the bed just to take precautions.
I was dozing off when I heard her tugging her arm away to see if she could loosen up the cuffs but she couldn't.

Dorinda: It's not gonna work Jaya.

Jaya: Why am I not dead?
I wasn't suppose to be here.

Dorinda: Mia found you in the tub with your wrists cut and a pillow bottle near you.

Jaya: I wanted to die! She should've left me alone.

Dorinda: She wasn't going to do that!.

Jaya: She should've just minded her business.

Dorinda: You're meant to be here.
You did 2 things that could've easily took you out, but God kept you here.
That baby too, the minute you took that Tylenol that baby could've died.
God is keeping you and that baby here.

Jaya: I don't wanna be here.
I messed up everything and I'm such a burden.

Dorinda: You are not a Burden.
Stop saying that.

Jaya: Mama the first time I got pregnant I almost gave you a heart attack, you spent 3 days in the hospital.

Dorinda: I'm your mother so I can't just abandon you just cause you make mistakes. I'm here to remind you about the things I taught you, pick you back up and dust you off then give you another shove to try again.
Just cause you messed up doesn't mean I can leave you. I love you enough to keep helping you.
No matter what you do.

Jaya:.........

Dorinda: I really love you Jaya.
The day I had you I looked into your big bright eyes and said She's my world. Nothing will be big enough for us to conquer. We're more than conquerors. We're fighting with the amour of God and we're on the lords side so I know we'll win which ever battle comes out way.

Jaya started crying and I went over to hug her.

Jaya: I'm tired of not being happy.

Dorinda: Let Jesus take the wheel.
Give your life to him that's what you gotta do.

Jaya: Whatever it takes.

She cried for another couple minutes then she stopped.
Jaya: I think therapy should be an option for us. I wanna fix our relationship and I wanna be a mother to Jazz.

Dorinda: We can do it.

I said wiping her tears with my thumbs.

Dorinda: You know the day you were born I pushed you out and you had the biggest head for a baby and it hurt to much I screamed and cried.
I couldn't wait until you came out already. I was to far along to have a C Section so I had to push.

I said laughing.

Dorinda: I told Greg no matter how much giving birth to you Jayaleh hurt, nothing she'll do to us will hurt most.

I said laughing and so did she.

Jaya: My head is not that big.

Dorinda: You have your Auntie Karen's head, I remember my mama use to tell us when she had Karen it felt like she was giving birth to a Cadillac.

Jaya: Oh my goodness.

She said laughing
It was so good to see her laugh.

Dorinda: I miss hearing you laugh baby girl.

Jaya: it feels good to laugh Mommy.

Dorinda: it's been a long time since I heard you call me mommy.
