Armani decided he couldn't hang and fell asleep in the middle of us opening presents. Lord knows why. All that boy does is sleep and sleep and sleep. Mind you, August can do the same if you let him. After everything was open and we'd played with Loyal for a bit, August excused himself to take an incoming call so to occupy myself I started cleaning up all the wrapping paper rubbish. Our house has to be nice and tidy before tonight when everyone will be over for Christmas dinner.
We decided two weeks ago that everyone would come to our place for dinner and that way we'd all be together, but the duration of the day would still be left free so that if family and friends wanted to go out and visit people or carry out any special traditions, they could do so. And that would also give August and I time to start preparing all the food. Plus our families thought it'd be best for us not to travel given that we wouldn't have security seeing as though August and I gave them the holiday season off - though I'm sure people have better things to do than chase us around town.
My phone starting ringing suddenly. I rushed over to the kitchen counter and answered the call incoming from my brother.
"Merry Christmas Rome!" I hollered into the phone, only to hear a sob. "Jerome?"
"E-Ever...you gotta come with August to the hospital. It's Chandra...and it's not good."
My heart sank. "Okay. I'll go get him and we'll come."
The call disconnected after that, the last thing that I'd heard were more of his sobs. I literally ran through the house looking for August. I looked everywhere until finally finding him still on the phone in his office. He looked at my face and excused himself on the call and put it on mute.
"Baby what's wrong?"
"My brother just called." I blurted out, totally out of breath. "Chandra's in hospital and it's not good."
"Shit. Okay, hold up." He took the phone off mute and put it back to his ear. "Aye bro I'll call you back. Something's come up."
He ended the call after saying goodbye and we quickly rushed around the house. I grabbed Armani and his baby bag whilst August went about getting Loyal and a bag full of clothes, snacks and toys for him because who knows how long we'll be at the hospital and away from home. Then we got into the Range Rover and I drove us to the hospital. There were paparazzi waiting outside and when they saw us pull up, they started approaching. Thankfully pushing past them was Travis, Jamal and much to my surprise and August's, Terence.
"You grab the kids and go in with T, I'll follow in with my brothers."
I nodded and kissed his cheek before getting out of the car. Terence was quickly by my side and keeping everyone well away from me. I grabbed Armani's car seat and handed it off to Big T and then reached over and got Loyal unbuckled and brought him into my arms. We then rushed inside, only to be met by my mom who had red, puffy eyes.
