I stepped off the hospital elevator and ran toward the private waiting room seeing everyone from friends to Coco's family.
"what happened?!? where is she? how is the baby!?" my voice bellowed halting all prior conversations and causing everyone to look at me.
"son she's in surgery. we're waiting for the doctor to come talk to us now..it's not looking good." Corbin informed, hugging me tightly as the tears fell.
"I can't loose her again! Ion know what I'd do if i lost her pop." i exhaled a deep breath as he comforted me.
"i know son. all we can do is pray everything will be alright." he whispered into my ear patting my back.
"Family of Corai Chanberlain." the woman in a white lab coat and scrubs spoke.
"how is she doc? how is the baby? can we go see her?" were all the questions everyone asked.
"Corai suffered what we call placental abruption, it's a complication where the placenta detaches from the uterus. If it isn't treated immediately the chances of the fetus surviving is very low and unfortunately in Ms. Chamberlain's case with the massive amounts of blood loss she suffered upon arrival we rushed her into surgery and performed an emergency c-section, we were unable to save the baby. I am so sorry."
"w-will she be able to have kids again?" I felt my voice get caught in my throat.
The severity of the situation made me think about our future. "If she does become pregnant again, there will be a significant risk that placental abruption will happen again."
My palms felt sweaty, my knees begun to buckle and I needed to punch something. "I-I can't be here right now." My chest heaved up and down.
I'm having a panic attack.
"Mar, breathe in and out. In. Out." Corai's calming voice spoke in my head, I listened and my chest stopped heaving, returning to normal rhythm and so did my breathing.
Calvin, Corbin, Yolanda, and the doctor walked over to a private area to talk leaving our friends and I alone.
"She said we can see her, only two people at a time." Yolanda informed.
We made a decision that Corbin and Calvin would go in, Yolanda and CJ, Dallas and Kim, Tori and Lauren, and finally myself.
After everyone's turn it was finally my turn to go into the room, I slid through the glass door and was met with Coco's brown eyes piercing a hole into my face.
Her eyes watering.
"Naamari. I am so sorry. I never intended for this to happen, baby please forgive me." she pleaded hugging me tightly.
"it's not your fault baby, none of this is..I'm sorry you went through this alone. I should've been there this morning. I'm sorry." i sniffled shedding tears on her hospital gown.
Both of us cried like babies in each others arms. "We'll get through this..we can always adopt or foster a child whenever you're ready." I muttered pulling away from our embrace.
Corai stayed silent in my arms, her tears staining my shirt. "where is my child?" a voice yelled from outside of the hospital room causing both of us to turn our heads.
"oh my gosh, what is he doing here." she mumbled rolling her eyes. It was SaQuan.
My body grew hot with anger. "I'll be back."
"Naamari, no! please don't go out there. stay with me." she sniffled grabbing my arm to stop me from walking away.
I huffed, putting it off for later. Corai slid over in the bed and patted next to her, I climbed in beside her and pulled her into me, laying her head on my shoulder.
"i love you Naamari." Corai whispered in her sleep.
I looked down at her, kissing her forehead, "i love you too Corai."
