NORMANI POV
I sit up well try to sit up and feel pain like all over especially in my stomach. I moan and rub my stomach.
"Aw baby.. you're up!! Are you okay??" I hear causing me to look up and instantly lock eyes with Jorden making me smile.
He's leaned over me since I can't sit up. "Uh I feel horrible... wait how's Megan? The baby? I freaking fainted when she was giving birth" I say laughing in the end
Thinking he'll laugh with me but he doesn't. He just looks down at me with concern.
"What's wrong?"
"Princess, what I'm about to tell you is strange and crazy. But know that all is alright. We're alright.. okay?"
I nod my head cause I don't trust my own voice.
"Megan and the baby are great. He's healthy and she's resting. Now when you fainted baby it wasn't because of you seeing her give birth. But... because you were pregnant too. Your water broke.."
"WHAT! No I- I wasn't pregnant. Only Megan was. T-TT- That can't be right!" I slightly shout in shock
"Shh I know baby. I know it's crazy. But you were and you had a baby girl" he says smiling
"A girl!! .... Oh My Gosh Jordan's gonna be so upset. Remember she thought she was the only girl" I say
I smile to myself thinking on how I just had another baby. That I sadly didn't know about or even experienced even having.
"Where is she?? D-Does she have a lot of hair? When Junior was born his head was full of hair!? Does she have that cute little button nose of yours too!" I ask all excited trying to sit up so I could look around
"Baby.. she... um. She's in the NICU. She came too early and she's having trouble breathing" he says looking at me
"Baby?"
"Princess?"
"Normani?"
"Normani!!"
"Normani!!!"
She's not breathing... she's not breathing because of me.
"Sit the bed up, so she can see me" I hear but don't pay attention. I hurt my baby. A tear falls from my eye then another. As tears fall the hospital bed moves up slowly sitting me up.
And I see that across from me is Megan. In her own hospital bed.
"Baby... it's gonna be okay. She - she just needs to stay here to get stronger. Don't worry baby. She's fine. Jorden went down to see her, and she's so beautiful.. just like you" she says smiling at me slightly putting my mind at ease.
Until a soft cry ruins the moment. Megan looks over to her left and grabs our new baby boy. I admire him even though I'm on the other side of the room happy that he got here safely. But then I get upset again... at myself for hurting our daughter.
Another tear falls and before I can wipe it away, Jorden catches it.
"It's okay Princess... you have us" he whispers giving me a kiss on the forehead
But I don't feel okay, I mutter to myself
JORDEN POV (TWO MONTHS LATER)
First I still can't believe that Normani was pregnant, but that's the way life goes right. I seriously have some super sperm, I'mma start wearing a cape. Two babies we done had on the same day. They're basically twins.
Things between us as a throuple is good. No more thinking or thoughts of a divorce. Just a focus on us as a family. Most importantly I'm back in the house. Exactly where a King belongs with His Queens.
Normani.. uh Normani, she just hasn't been the same since. Our new baby girl is still in the hospital and Normani blames herself each and everyday. She doesn't say it but you just know it.
Summer vacation is about to be over meaning back to school for literally all of the kids and Normani. But she's more worried about our baby girl. Her name now, I want to name her Jayla. To keep the J's going in our kids. We already have Jordan, Juniorq and Jayce. So why not Jayla to match her twin.
Megan agrees but Normani doesn't even want to name her. It's as if she's writing her out of our lives. Yes she's still in the hospital but she's still ours.
As Megan is breastfeeding Jayce before we all go to the hospital to see Jayla, Normani has locked herself in our room.... again.
She does this everytime we say we're going to see Jayla. It's as if she's punishing herself, and she shouldn't. It's no one's fault. But it's always difficult to tell someone that when they already have it in their mind that it is.
Knocking on the door," Normani... come out we're about to head out. Don't you wanna see Jayla... she's gotten so big. She looks like you more and more each day. Please... please come with us baby." I beg, I hear some noise then the door opens and I see my Princess.
Just as beautiful as she always is, with a pout on her face. I look at her up and down, and surprisingly she's dressed and ready to go. Usually she would be in her pajamas preferably her onesie.
"Princess.. you're dressed already.I -"
" Yes Jorden, I'm dressed... Can we just go. Megan said I better get dressed and come or she's gonna spank my ass red. So here you go" she says with a slight attitude and walks pass me downstairs
Alright, I mumble to myself
...............................
"Jayla... Jayla...look at you Mamas" Megan says as she holds her in her arms as she's sitting in the chair and we all gather around her. Well all of us except Normani. Jordan holds Jayla's little hand, as Junior kisses her forehead. And I look at all of us observing.
Normani is planted by the door as she looks at us. As if she doesn't know her place in it all. Standing awkwardly.
I walk over and grab her hand rubbing it as she slowly looks up at me. Fear in her eyes. Mixed with sadness and guilt. I whisper it's okay, and she lets me lead her to where everyone is.
Everyone looks up at us when we reach them in shock and happiness that she finally came inside the room after we've been in here for an hour already. The kids back up and move to where Jayce's stroller is and watch.
Megan stands up as she holds a bubbly Jayla. Who just loves to "talk" and stare at you. Normani takes her place sitting down and Megan hands her Jayla. I go over to Megan as we back up giving them some space.
Normani with a shaky left hand runs her fingers through the brown wavy curls Jayla has. Jayla grabs her pinky finger shaking it. Normani let's out a light scream as tears fall from her eyes as she brings Jayla to her chest cradling her.
Saying how sorry she is. And how beautiful she is. Mostly apologizing to Jayla, as she just looks up at Normani like she's admiring her.
I feel Megan take a deep breath as she wipes her own tears. The doctor enters into the room telling us how Jayla has improved so well that she can come home today. And now I'm shedding my own tears that my family is together as one...
Now it's only time to make things official.
