Choose me

Taraji's POV:

As my eyes slowly faded open, I could see nurses and doctors standing around me.

But they were a bit blurry.

I could hear them talking about something, but I couldn't quite put together what.

Once they saw I had awaken, all the talking died down.

Before they stopped talking, I heard somebody mention something about me needing blood.

What's going on? I asked sitting up in bed.

"Oh Ms. Henson you're awake! Rest yourself please." She said putting my bed back down.

I'll rest once I know what's going on. I heard someone mention something about blood..?

"You're gonna be fine. We have everything under control."

"I promise you that."

If you say so.

Is Dani here?

"They're three young lady's down in the lobby waiting for you ma'am."

Can you bring them up please?

"Of course."

I looked around to see did I see Amiera near me.

And she in fact was laying next to me in her incubator.

She was a spitting image of me and Fantasia mushed together.

She looked so precious.

Can I hold her?

"Not yet, we wanna be sure you're completely okay before you can hold her."

But it's my baby.

"We understand that ma'am, but we have to be super careful okay?"

I understand, but just holding her shouldn't make a big difference.

"But it does because you're not well."

So then what's wrong with me...?

"You're-"

"Shut up." One of the other nurses mumbled cutting her off.

I'm what?

"You're fine." The other nurse said.

I don't think so.

"You're in good hands. We won't harm you. You and your baby will make it out of here okay." The other nurse said.

Thank you, I'm glad to hear that...but what's wrong with me?

"We promise you're okay." The other nurse said.

Fantasia's POV:

"Cellmate 234678901"

I inhaled a deep breath to prepare myself mentally for what was about to happen.

I wouldn't be surprised if she didn't wanna see me.

"Have a seat." The officer said sitting her in the chair.

"10 minutes." He said shutting the door behind him.

Yes sir. Thank you.

"What the fuck do you want?"

Well hello to you too...

I came here because, I need you. Your sister needs you.

"Well I don't wanna be needed. I want to be left alone."

"So if that's all you came for beat it."

"So you can get the fuck out my face, and leave me the hell alone."

Listen while you were away me and your sister had a baby together.

She just gave birth to the baby a few hours ago.

Problem is she needs blood.

And you're the only match for her.

I know you might not wanna do it, but Trina please.

You're her only hope right now.

"You're stupid if you think she's gonna let me give her blood."

That's the thing she won't know. I'll take it back with me.

I have the needle and everything here with me.

"You don't know how much she needs. And my bond is 12,000$."

"Who's gonna pay that huh?"

I'll pay it.

"So after I save her life it's back to the slammer for me?."

Well....yeah.

"I won't even get a chance to hold my niece."

You could've had a chance. But you wanted to play dirty.

You were out for blood.

You didn't think about how stupid it was of you to side with two dummies.

"Look you don't know me or my sister."

Whatever helps you sleep better at night.

But I know your "sister" better than you ever could.

"So if you know her so well how come you can't give her blood..?"

That's a pretty dumb question.

Look if you do this I'll pay you under the table, and get you out of here faster.

"How? I was sentenced to life."

Don't worry about it, I'll handle it.

You just focus on getting me this blood, okay?

"Alright deal, but what about Angela and Regina?"

I'll fix something up for them too.

"Cool."

Now come on we have to do this quickly before the guard notices.
