Tw: death
Omniscient
There is something odd in the air and it's been there for ages.
Well... for the past week that Robyn's been hospitalized.
Her injuries were treatable and almost cured but she got an infection and went back to 0. She won't make it. She knows she won't but the doctors are trying to give her family and kids false hope and it semi-upsets her. Zahir thinks she's gonna come back home, and Jazmine is gonna be very much inconsolable, she knows it. Especially since they just started to repair their relationship.
It's just been a waiting game and if Robyn's being honest she is ready to go if it's time. She won't try to cheat death. It hurts her, the thought of leaving her kids, but she feels like it's her time deep down inside.
If Rihanna could get better in an instant to be with her family, she would do it. She wants to live life and be able to go home and hang out with her kids and the entirety of the Knowles-Maraj family. Or Maraj-Knowles? Rihanna really can't remember with all of the pain.
A nurse comes in to check her vitals and makes a saddened face as she hits down her stats. Robyn knows.
She texted the groupchat with Nicki and Beyoncé in it and Nicki gets up and goes to get bed when she feels she's loosing her grip and hold for life.
Beyoncé is already rounding the kids up.
Jazmine knows and is trying to process her mother's impending death. Zahir can't comprehend it fully and this might break him completely, Jazmine and her moms both think.
Bryony and India stay with Ariana and Jazmine and Zahir get in the car. Jazmine already gets a bad feeling. They haven't told her a thing yet though. She knows immediately when Beyoncé and Onika can barely hold it together.
She holds it together for Zahir though. She has to.
He needs someone strong at this time.
"Thank you for giving me Jazz and Z." Nicki says quietly. "Two awesome kids. And thanks for being an awesome auntie they all love you so much."
"Thank you."
"You really turned around, im proud. Wish you would've gotten more time with them. Even India and Bry love you so much."
Onika is shutting down as the mother of her first child is losing grip of her breaths.
Beyoncé is right by her side, the two of them holding onto Robyn's right hand.
"Take care of all of them. That's all I ask. Please take care of them and make sure they don't steer into a negative path, that's all I ask for."
Onika can't hold it together and she almost loses her footing.
Jazmine is laying in the nook of Robyn's bed with her. She's careful with where she leans her weight.
She doesn't say a word.
She just hangs onto Robyn, the little girl that just wanted her mama coming out. She feels guilty, she feels like this wouldn't have happened had she not spoken up. Robyn would be fine.
Zahir is with a nurse outside having death subtly explained to him. He understands death but doesn't understand why the nurse continues to rub his back and call him strong. He wants to see Robyn but he's too young to be allowed in the room.
Robyn goes into a coughing for and Jazmine clings on tight but not too constricting.
She's the first to break down.
Robyn tries to stop the coughing, but the more she does the more erratic her heartbeat becomes.
Going faster and faster and faster.
Even when she gets the coughing to stop, her heartbeat continues. The nurses at the entrance of the room with their notepads ready to list a time of death on her death certificate.
The room is thick with anxiousness and comfort as the couple watch on.
"Ma' please." Jazmine tries to get Robyn to breathe but it's too late.
Robyn dies looking into Jazmine's eyes. She tried moving her lips only for nothing to come out.
She meant to say I love you.
Robyn's heart beats into oblivious as the last breath leaves her body.
Jazmine's face completely discolors.
Onika and Beyoncé can't save face at all. Onika let's out some sobs as she sees their daughter completely falling apart.
She tries to take Jazmine's hand but Jazmine snatches it away. Jazmine almost fights her to stay with her mother's body one more minute.
"What are we gonna do with Z? Z needs you!"
Jazmine wails, screaming so loud the entire floor hears. From outside the room, Zahir puts two and two together. Something about sibling synergy.
He looks to the nurse.
"She's dead, isn't she?" He simply asks.
The nurse can't even front.
"I'm sorry bud."
He goes quiet, not sure how to react. He wasn't old enough to have spent a lot of time with her like Jazmine did. He loves her but he also didn't get that same amount of time with her. It wasn't consistent either.
To add to it all, Shawn comes barreling onto the icu floor and sees his son just outside the door with the nurse.
"I'm here to see your mama."
"She's dead." Zahir says monotonously.
Shawn just purses his lips together. He's growing angry but he can't allow his son to see him weak.
"You will be allowed to have a moment with her in a few before we move her--"
"No, that's fine, thank you--"
Shawn turns on his heels and leaves stomping his way out of the ICU floor and towards the parking garage.
