Marcus dropped to the floor in instant tears he couldn't believe what the doctor was saying, I instantly got to the floor and and held him in my arms losing a baby was so painful especially when you expecting for a bundle of joy .

"Marcus sweetie , it's gonna be alright you have me and Jussie and jay is hanging in there please honey be strong for jay be glad you have her still God will bless you with a baby sooner just not right now." I said to him soothingly as I pat his back. he raised his head up From my lap and looked at me in a strange kind of way a way where he knew that he was in good hands, I slowly looked up at Jussie who was talking to the nurse who seemed to have a blank disappointing look on his face. Jussie raised his arms to his face like he was depressed or found out something horrible he walked slowly to us on the ground and before he opened his mouth Marcus looked up and screamed "no!" .

"They said jay will have to go through emergency surgery right now so let's go down the street to Olive Garden and have us a bite to eat and made a taste of wine for the nerves ."

As he said that Marcus slowly nodded his head and and rose up slowly from my Lap and he helped me get up as well we all walked to the entrance door holding arm and arm all we can do is pray about this situation that jay makes it out just fine.

The whole drive to Olive Garden was complete silence I'm at lost of words at this moment if I even fart that would probably rise the tension and moment, Thinking of that time Jussie and I had a slip up in college , it was only one year into the relationship and Jussie decided to play it naughty. i remember the day i came to his dorm with the news, he gave me this look of fright but excitement at the same time oh boy did he not know I was going to go and get the job done the next day. "hey baby I already told mom the news" he said walking through my dorm apartment . back in college jus had a afro and some nerd glasses he swore he wanted to have swag like Andre 3000."my grandmother wants to come down for thanksgiving I just know you will be big as a house by then" he chuckled. I just looked at him with the look of distraught."babe what's wrong?" He asked in a sincere concerning tone . "jus there will be no reasoning for telling anybody else about the baby , we have zero edition to the family ." those last words I said really stung him in the heart and the memory faded by a tap by Jussie, "Mia baby we here,are you alright ?"

"Yeah ,yeah I'm fine"knowing deep down its killing me.

As we entered inside Olive Garden it seemed like this scenery Really Brought Emotion And tears out With The Sudden calmness and quietness to have time to marinate all of the tension and problems it is bringing me .

"Mimi baby you haven't touched your salad ." jus spoke up looking at me.

"I don't see how we can all sit here and act like nothing is wrong when it is ." I spoke up dropping my fork .

"Mia what's wrong ? " He asked .

"Just everything jay the baby and just ugh ."

"Mia calm down we all feel the same way but we can't let it all get to us ,right Marcus ?"

Marcus looked up from his plate and stared at us both since the accident he has not said not one word maybe he has went mute. The whole table was in awkward silence until Jussie's phone started to ring it must be the hospital .

"Hello, yes this is he," while he took the phone call me and Marcus started at each other long and hard it wasn't a normal kind Of Stare it's was a stare that meant something but both of our daydreaming moment was interrupted by jussie clearing his throat.

"mia can I talk to you for a moment" he said staring into space.

"oh yeah , yeah sure" I said stuttering.
