Teyana/Hospital... 3 weeks later...

"He's going to wake up, don't worry Ty. I love you.." Teyana coached Tyler through his emotional phase. They'd been at the hospital everyday since everything went down.

"Yeah. He'll wake up, babe." One of Tyler's baby mothers, Ashanti, sat close to him with her head laying on his shoulder. By now, both of his baby mothers new, and only Ashanti promised to stick with him.

The other one, Kayla, left him and was forced an abortion by her parents who didn't approve of children out of wedlock.

"It's been 3 weeks, Tee. He's not waking up...it's over." Tyler say with his head dropped in his hands, with Tee and Ashanti each on both sides of him.

"Don't say that, Ty. He's strong. He raised both of us all alone with no help, he can definitely pull through this. And we will, just trust the process." Teyana hugged him tightly and rested her head on his open shoulder.

Their Dad was shot twice in the ribs, while covering Tyler from the bullets. He was currently breathing on his own, but in a deep sleep coma. They didn't know exactly who did it, but Teyana was working on finding out. She wasn't going to snitch, though.

Nobody knew that she was figuring it out except for Rev. Rev promised to look into the situation and find out everything she needed to know, as long as she did nothing crazy. But, it was kind of hard to not do something crazy considering this was her Dad.

As for Mekhi, she hadn't heard from him still. She tried to visit him but he'd changed residences. She moved back into her old apartment full time, and was even back onto the acting movement. Her life was finally forming, although she missed her Dad. This is what he would want.

"Hold on, I gotta take this. Please, watch him for me, Ashanti." Teetee stood up, feeling her phone vibrate in her pocket. Ashanti nodded to her as she walked out of the room and made her way to the front of the hospital.

"Hello? Haven?" She sat down on the hard concrete ground while answering the FaceTime call. For a while, there was no answer.

"TITI!" Neveah stuck her face in the camera, showing all of her tiny baby teeth and smiling hard.

"Hey, Teetee baby! Where mommy?" Teyana leaned in closer, smiling at the site of her beautiful god daughter.

"You come get me, Titi! Mama be mean." Neveah sat the phone up on the floor while laying down in front of the camera, swinging her feet.

"Teetee come get you after I go somewhere, okay mama?" She blew kisses into the phone and before Neveah could respond, Haven came through and snatched the phone.

"VEAH! WHAT I TELL YOU ABOUT CALLING PEOPLE ON MY DAMN PHONE, GIRL?" Haven yelled at her causing Veah to run and laugh at her mother's angry face.

"Baby so damn bad. Where you at, Tee?" Haven plopped down on her bed while fixing her hair in the camera.

"Still at this hospital." She sighed, playing with rocks near her feet.

"Alright, well I love you and come see me and your bad ass god daughter later." Haven nodded and Teyana returned the love before hanging up and walking over to her truck.

She got in, cranked it up and started her way to her destination.

"I hope this is the right church." Tee sighed, hopping out of her truck and walking up to all of the gravestones. She'd now been to two different churches, and had no luck.

She finally had the guts to go and see Delano. She knew that she still had something for him, but to fully heal, she'd have to let it go.

Walking up, the first headstone she saw, she immediately found his. Sitting in front of the gravestone, she admired the flowers and everything around him. She pulled the letter out of her pocket, and tucked it at his grave.
