New Beginnings: Part 5

Chapter 17

[KAIDENCE'S POV]

I'm So Relieved That Marvin Loved The Names I Picked Out For Our Girls. I Honestly Would Have Died If He Didn't Like Them. Literally.

I Was Home Alone Resting In Bed, While Marvin Went To His Friends Funeral, And My Mom Took Kaiden So I Could Rest. I Was Tired And My Back Was Hurting Bad. I Started Getting Very Uncomfortable Pains In My Side And I Wasn't Feeling It. I Grabbed My Phone And Frantically Dialed My Doctors Number.

"Dr. Whitfield." She Answered.

"Umm Hi. This Is Kaidence Smith, And I'm Having Horrible Pains In My Side And My Lower Back." I Said.

"Is It Contractions?" She Asked.

"Yeah I Believe So." I Said.

"Has Your Water Broke?" She Asked.

"No." I Said. There Was Some Static And Some Talking.

"Mrs. Smith I Have Your Chart Here And You're Not Due For Another Six To Eight Weeks. Oh...Yes Ma'am You Are Having Twins. Well...Mrs. Smith, I Need You To Meet Me At The Hospital Within An Hour. You May Be Delivering Tonight." She Said. My Heart Dropped In The Pit Of My Stomach.

"Okay." I Said. We Hung Up And I Quickly Called Marvin. Ugh Fuck! No Answer. I Took A Deep Breath And Called My Mom.

"Hey Mamas." She Answered.

"Mom...I Need You To Take Me To The Hospital." I Said.

"Why? What's Wrong?" She Asked.

"I'm Having Contraction Pains And I Called Dr. Whitfield And She Told Me To Meet Her At The Hospital Within The Next Hour." I Said.

"Okay Mamas. I'm On My Way. Did You Call Marvin?" She Asked.

"Yes And He's Not Answering!" I Snapped.

"Okay Calm Down. I'm On My Way. Make Sure You Have Yours And The Girls Bag Packed." She Said.

We Hung Up And I Slowly Got Out Of The Bed. I Grabbed My Already Packed Bag And Sat It On My Bed. Fuck These Pains Are Making My Body Ache. I Tried Calling Marvin Again, But He Still Wasn't Answering. I Then Sent Him A Text Telling Him I Was Going To The Hospital And That He Needs To Meet Me There As Soon As He's Back In Town. I Grabbed The Girls Diaper Bag And Carried Everything To The Top Of The Stairs. While I Waited For My Mom, I Sat In The Girls Room And Began Folding Up Their Clothes. The Pains Seemed To Have Stop For The Moment And I Felt At Ease. I Tried Calling Marvin Again, And Again, And Again. I Was Literally Blowing His Phone Up Until I Heard My Mom Walking Into The House.

"Kaidence!" She Called Out. I Walked To The Hallway And My Mom Hurried Upstairs, Followed By Aleeyah.

"Let's Get Going. Aleeyah Grab The Diaper Bag." My Mom Said.

"Let Me Grab My Purse And Sweater." I Said. I Hurried To My Room And Grabbed My Stuff. I Tried Calling Marvin Again, But No Such Luck. What The Hell! I Slowly Made My Way Downstairs And Out The House.

"Where's Kaiden?" I Asked.

"He's With Your Dad And Xavier At A Basketball Game. Just Relax Mamas." My Mom Said. 

When We Got To The Hospital, I Had A Room Ready For Me Already. Oh That's Nice. I Changed Into My Gown And Got Hooked Up To My IV And Baby Monitor. I Tried Calling Marvin Again, But No Such Luck! I Know That Funeral Is Over By Now So Where The Hell Is He?

"Still Haven't Got In Touch With Marvin?" My Mom Asked.

"No! And I Know That Funeral Is Over! I'm Starting To Get Worried." I Said.

"Im Sure He's Fine." My Mom Said Giggling.

"What's Funny?" I Asked.

"Nothing. This Reminds Me Of The Time I Was In Labor With Your Sister And Your Dad Wasn't Answering His Phone." She Said. I Swear I Learn New Information About My Parents Every Damn Day.

"What Was He Doing?" I Asked. She Glanced At Aleeyah And Back At Me.

"Let's Just Say....He Missed The Birth Of Your Sister." She Said.

"You Mean He...Cheated? Dad Cheated On You!" I Said.

"What? When?" Aleeyah Said.

"Forget What I Said. You Need Not Worry Bout This." She Said.

"No Mom! Tell Me." I Said.

"Me Too." Aleeyah Said. She Sighed.

"My Water Broke And Your Dad Was At Work, So I Had To Depend On Your Uncle Dan To Take Us To The Hospital. When It Was Time To Push, I Had To Do It Alone. Come To Find Out...He Was Cheating On Me With....His Ex-Wife. Aleeyah's Mom." She Said.

"She Is NOT My Mom! You Are." Aleeyah Snapped.

"I Know Baby. Calm Down." My Mom Said. I Was About To Say Something Until The Pains Returned.

"Ouchhhh!" I Groaned.

"Let Me Call The Nurse." My Mom Said. Aleeyah Grabbed My Hand And Just Held It. The Nurse Hurried In.

"Dr. Whitfield Just Arrived And She'll Be In With You Shortly." The Nurse Said. I Sighed As I Shifted My Body. I Tried Calling Marvin Again, But I Kept Getting The Same Results. This Was Getting Fustrating.
