Walk With Me 1

Omniscient

Beyoncé and Jazmine have been nothing but inseparable from eachother since Jazmine broke down last week. The little girl is insistent on always being with her mother.

Beyonce takes advantage of the fact that her daughter is always by her side and has her help clean the house up a bit. Beyonce hates not doing anything and much more, having a dirty house.

She moves to clean quickly, because since Beyoncé's gotten pregnant, Nicki grades at home and rarely stays at school much after the bell rings. Nicki doesn't want her overdoing anything. Nowadays, Nicki barely lets her move a finger unassisted.

Beyonce helped the little girl up onto the countertop in the kitchen to wipe down the cabinet doors.

Beyonce backs up a bit to look, when she loses her footing and falls straight back. All she can recall is wrapping her arms around her belly and thinking about the two children.

Jazmine instantly knows something isn't right.

Beyoncé is awake but in clear pain.

"Siri call 'Onika'." Jazmine thinks quickly and grabs her baba's phone off of the countertop and jumps to stay by Beyoncé's side. "You can't go to sleep."

"I'm not."

Beyoncé hands go to her stomach and out of instinct, Jazmine barely places her hand on her baba's stomach, feeling kicks from her little sister.

"Hello?"

Beyoncé never calls while Nicki's teaching.

"Baba fell."

"She what?"

"She fell and I think she's really hurt."

"I'm on my way home. It's gonna be okay. Is baba awake? Don't let her close her eyes."

"I'm here." Jazmine reassures.

Nicki hangs up.

Jazmine speaks to Beyoncé and it brings the woman comfort.

Onika

After I experienced traffic, trying to get home, I told Jazmine to call 911. I told her what to say and just in time, I arrive to the hospital, in search of my girlfriend and two daughters.

Jazmine clings to me and cries, it honestly breaks my heart.

"Shhh... it's okay."

Beyoncé is getting examined. I just hope the both of them are okay.

Eventually, a nurse comes out to get us and lead us to where Beyoncé is. She's laid on the bed awake, but out of it.

The doctor pulls me to the side before I can enter.

"Are you her family member?"

"Her girlfriend."

He clears his throat, "The sac hasn't ruptured but all the weight hitting her spine has her in a very delicate state now. I recommend bedrest, especially since she's full term. She might be set to leave in two or three days."

"The baby's okay, right?"

"We think so."

"What do you mean, think?"

I cover Jazmine's ears and turn her face away from the doctor. I'm trembling a bit and my heart rate is racing.

I just want India to be okay.

The doctor closes the door right as I noticed Bey with her head up looking at us.

"Doctor..." I look at his white jacket. "Barnes, please. Give me an answer."

"No heartbeat." He says. "But it's too early to call the shots on what to do next, that's why she'll be here for a few days."

He offers me a warm smile, then opens the door again so I can get to my babies.

"Bey."

"Hey."

Jazmine reaches down to hug her from my arms.

"Hey, brave girl."

"Hey baba."

I give Bey a hug and a long kiss.

"The baby okay?"

Beyoncé is definitely coming down from some type of medication. How do I break this to her.

"Yes."

I hope this answer doesn't backfire on me.
