EPISODE 09

OMNISCIENT
BEL AIR, LOS ANGELES
16 HOURS LATER ...

"Mir," Naala tapped Dave quietly shifting uncomfortably in the bed.

"It still hurts?" Dave asked groggily, opening one eye to look at her.

"Mmhm," Naala hummed lifting her head off his chest,

"You want a heat pad?" He rubbed her back, now fully awake.

"I want to go back to the hospital," Naala moaned in pain. She had never felt anything like this, she wasn't sure if it was her age but something didn't feel right.

"She said we should expect this pain," Dave responded holding her.

"It's not meant to be this bad," She cried into him,

"I'm sorry baby," He sighed sitting up, "Let me get the heat pad and some medication,"

Dave felt useless in every aspect, he couldn't take away her pain even if he tried.

It was both of their baby but he felt like she was carrying all the weight of it, and he hated that.

"Okay," Naala said laying on her side. He kissed her face multiple times rubbing stomach.

"I love you, I'm sorry," He said to her quietly,

"Stop apologizing," Naala replied blankly pushing her head further into her pillow.

Dave nodded and got out of the bed, heading to get her what she needed.

As he left the room, he almost fell over Mekhi who was sat outside their room.

"Whatchu doing out here?" Dave mumbled picking him up from the floor.

"Making sure mommy is okay," Mekhi said with a frown,

"You should be sleeping Khi you got school in the morning," Dave shook his head. "You wanna sleep in there with us?"

"Yes," Mekhi nodded his head quickly.

"Aight go wait for me," Dave said opening the door for him. He closed the door behind him and carried on the kitchen.

Dave's phone buzzed in his pocket taking his attention away from the medication,

"Kane," He answered putting the phone to his ear, "You know I can't come out right now,"

"What do you mean?" Dave clenched his jaw. Aasad continued to explain over the phone making Dave sigh in anger.

"Give me 30 minutes," He grumbled before hanging up the phone.

Dave knew it was going to be hard to get out of the house at that time, especially with Naala not being in the best condition.

He went back up the stairs and peeped into Aamirah's room, seeing she was already asleep.

"You too?" Dave asked Stori who was standing outside their bedroom door.

"I want a sleepover," She said sucking her thumb on one hand and playing with her ear with the other.

"Come on," Dave lifted her up with ease, taking her back in the room.
