The first person she calls was ofc her sister.

Aisha: Omg!! Hey sister.

Fatima: Hey sis. How are you?

Aisha: I should be asking, how are you?

Fatima: I'm good sis.

Aisha: I'm glad you're okay. And I'm better now that I know that you're okay.

Fatima: I'm grateful to still be here.

Aisha: You were breaking my heart. And you scared me. I thought I lost you.

Fatima: I know sis and I'm sorry. Zac told me everything. Including you almost jumping on the doctor. What was that about?

Aisha: The bitch tried it. Like how you going to flirt with a married man when his whole wife not only just gave birth but is so in the hospital fighting for her life. Like I wasn't having it.

Fatima: I definitely can understand. Because if it was the other way around yea I'll probably be banded from the hospital, or in jail.

Aisha: I'm saying,?people be trying it. And Mike gonna say some, "baby lets take a walk"

Fatima: Oh, Zac didn't tell me that part.

Aisha: Sis yes. And I'm like I'm good. Then hit me with the "stop being stubborn and let's go now"

Fatima: Sis nooo..

Aisha: Yes he did. He lucky I love his fine ass.

Fatima: I'm weak. I swear we're the same person.

Aisha: But besides everything, how's the babies?

Fatima: They good. I just fed lil man. Now he just laying here looking at me.

Aisha: I can't wait to meet him.

Fatima: I know sis. And y'all well in due time. I just wanna have this moment of bonding with them.

Aisha: I get it, hat's understandable. Have that moment, because I know in due time I will see him.

Fatima: Ima get everybody over soon.

Aisha: Have you talked to anybody else.

Fatima: You and mama are the only ones. I gotta call Andi too.

Aisha: Sis Andi is such a sweet person. These past couple years she grew on me. You know how I am.

Fatima: Andi has always been a good friend/sister. I never told anyone this but when I moved here to Atlanta, I used to sleep in Andi's guest room until I got on my feet and found my apartment. She treated me like her own, and never judged me nor asked for anything. I was so heartbroken over that Nigga Ian that I literally lost myself. She didn't have to do what she did but she did, and has always been there.

Aisha: Baby you ain't got to tell me. When you left Philly and didn't say shit, I knew that you was never going backwards.

Fatima: And wasn't. Philly was my death sentence waiting to happen. It took me through a lot of lessons, some I wasn't ready for. But I made it out, and now look at me.

Aisha: Philly isn't for anybody. I'm glad we all got out of that place.

Fatima: I'm glad we all did too.

Aisha: Sis I'm so happy to have you back.

Fatima: And I'm glad to be back. We gotta get together and have lunch later this week. For the next couple days, I just wanna rest.

Aisha: Don't rush yourself getting back out sis. We can always get together, just rest.

Fatima: Well let me make my rounds and I'll talk to you later.

Aisha: Okay sis. I love you.

Fatima: I love you too.

Fatima hangs up and called Andi.

Andi: Well hey sis, how are you?

Fatima: Hey sis, I'm good.

Andi: You scared the hell out of me. I thought I lost my best friend/Sister.

Fatima: You still got me babes, I'm still here. But how are you and the family?

Andi: We're good, Jay been trying to be strong and play everything off but he's okay I guess.

Fatima: Where he at?

Andi: He's in the front with the girls.

Fatima: Take him the phone real quick.

Andi takes Jordan the phone.

Jordan: Hello!!

Fatima: Hey bro. I heard you been trying to play tough.

Jordan: You know me.

Fatima: Yea I do.

Jordan: How are you?

Fatima: Im good, just making my rounds in reaching out to everybody.

Jordan: I see, and it's good to have you back with us.

Fatima: Bro I'm glad to be back.

Jordan: Sis you definitely got a good man. I have so much more respect for him in how he handled things and how he was with you. This man literally wouldn't leave your bedside. He went home to check on the babies and back up at the hospital he was.

Fatima: I think I did a pretty good job at choosing him.

Jordan: Y'all both did.

Fatima: I appreciate that bro.

Jordan: You're welcome sis. Here go Andi back.

Fatima: Okay bro, I love you.

Jordan: I love you too sis. And take care of yourself. Make sure you're resting.

Fatima: I am bro.

Jordan: Here goes Andi.

Andi gets back on the phone.

Andi: But sis yes. Zac was going crazy. Bro broke all the way down. He was losing it.

Fatima: Oh I heard everything.

Andi: You talked to Aisha yet?

Fatima: I just got off the phone with her right before you.

Andi: I'm so happy you're okay.

Fatima: I thank you and I appreciate you for being a big help with Ava.

Andi: That's my baby. And you don't have to thank me, y'all always got me.

Fatima: I know sis. And I love you.

Andi: I love you too sis.

Fatima: Well let me make my next round. I'll talk to you later sis.

Andi: Okay sis.

They hang up and Fatima calls Angela but she didn't answer. So she call Darius.

Darius: Hey sis, I've missed you.

Fatima: I've missed y'all too.

Darius: How are you?

Fatima: I'm good, was holding the baby but he's asleep now.

Darius: I'm glad you're doing better. You know I had to make sure my sis was okay and getting treated right.

Fatima; I already know you was on it,

Darius: Had too.

Fatima: Well bro ima get me a nap in and I'll talk to you later. Tell jas I said hello. And I love y'all.

Darius: She said hey. And we love you too.

They hang up and Fatima took a nap.
