Chapter seventy-six

Marshall’s POV:

            I scrambled through the hospital asking anybody if they seen Natalia. I soon found her room and walked in slowly and quietly. Dre told me through the whole delivery she kept singing ‘Lose Yourself’ which sent chills down my spine. I saw Natalia nestled in the bed, she didn’t look good though. She looked exhausted but I was happy to see her and with a flat stomach again. I ran my hand through my hair when I heard a soft voice, “Baby.”

            I looked up and saw Natalia awake. My heart pounded so loudly I could feel it pulse through my body. I smiled and rushed over to her. I kissed her over and over as if I almost lost her. “I’m so sorry” I cried. I caressed her face and hair “I’m so sorry” I repeated. I held her in my arms and kissed her again. I was too caught up in the moment with her I forgot about our child.

            “The baby?” I questioned. She turned her head over to the baby cradle nestled next to the bed. I smiled as I look at my new son for the first time. He looked just like Natalia; he even had her skin color. “Say hello to our new son” she whispered. I chuckled softly which turned into giggles, “He’s beautiful baby!” I cried. Natalia smiled as she caressed my face. Her smile disappeared and turned into a stunned or surprised look. I do look a little different, I haven’t shaved really.

            “What?” I questioned. “You look terrible” she whispered. I sighed as I kissed her palm, “It’s what happens when you barely sleep and you are always touring.” I kept glancing over at the baby as he giggled and cooed. “Go hold your new son baby” she whispered. I gave her one last kiss before I got up to see him.

            I glanced into the basket as he was wrapped in his baby blanket and his blue cap. He opened his eyes to me and started gurgling and giggling. As if he knew I was his daddy. As I carefully scooped him into my arms, time stood still. I could feel it happening, it was like holding Hailie all over again. He kept closing and opening his eyes which made it hard to see his eye color. I chuckled to myself-blue.

            “His name is Ronald Ronnie Mathers” Natalia said. I was overjoyed that I had tears fell from my face. “Ronnie” I mumbled, I placed a kiss on top of his forehead, “I promise you I will never let you down.” Ronnie wrapped his hand around my finger; I chuckled, “You’re so strong.” I couldn’t let go of him. He was so beautiful. I placed him in Natalia’s arms when he started to fuss. “He’s so beautiful” I said.

            Natalia chuckled as she rocked him gently in her arms. “I love you both” I mumbled as I pressed my lips to her head. I can never love someone as much as I loved her. She gave me everything that I could ask for. Most of all she gave my girls someone stable to rely on. She gave me my life back and gave me some peace of mind. Even if I’m still battling my demons she sticks by me.

            “Ok Ronnie this is your new home buddy!” I stepped through the door holding Ronnie in my arms as Marshall filmed everything! And I mean everything! I even got annoyed sometimes but other than that things have been peaceful. I still hold my breath I won’t let my guard down so easily. Ronnie started looking like Marshall after a while. We all called him Slim Shady JR because he was another Marshall. He never cried, he keeps to himself, but around daddy; that smile. He glows!

            Ring! Ring! Ring! “Hello?”

“How’s the bundle of joy?” My heart dropped instantly. I knew that voice. I’m not pregnant anymore, I can handle this.

“What you want bitch?” Marshall turned his head to the kitchen. “What do you want? Huh? What do you want?” I shouted. Loud enough for my voice to echo. The baby started to cry as Marshall sat him in his crib. He snatch the phone and said, “New plan…don’t answer it!” Marshall shouted.

            I sighed, as he shaked his head, “I’m getting tired of this bull-shit” he mumbled. I gripped his shirt and tightly squeezed him. “Just don’t answer anymore” the baby’s cries suddenly shot at me as I jumped out of Marshall’s arms. I picked Ronnie up and patted his back, “Shh…there, there Ronnie.” “Everything will be ok honey.”

            Marshall calmly walked up stairs and into the studio. I screamed from the living room, “Marshall?” I shrugged and let him have his space as I made funny faces for Ronnie and tickled his tummy. “Peek-a-boo!” “Peek-a-boo!” his giggles echoed through the house. I soon put Ronnie down for his nap and I quietly tip-toed to Marshall’s studio.

            “Baby” I knocked at the door. I opened the door anyway and came in, “Yes, but can we have it moved up sooner?” “Look I don’t care what it takes, just speed up the pre-nup…I know they don’t see her anymore but these constant phone calls are…” Marshall slammed the phone down and started to growl. I knew it was best to close the door and let him be.

            I walked downstairs quickly and dialed the phone company. “ Uh yes, I would like these numbers blocked please.” “What is the longest I can have them blocked for?” “I’ll take the nine months please and can I keep having them blocked after the nine are up?” “Great!” I should’ve done this a long time ago. I can’t stop what goes on outside the house when the kids are out of my sight. But I can stop what goes on inside this house.

            “No I want them block on all the phones that we have, cell-phones, land phones, emails so and so” I said. “Thank you I really do appreciate it” I hung up the phone and walked up stairs to the studio.  Marshall’s head was face down on the desk and tiny snores came from him. I smiled to myself as I quietly went into the room. I caressed the top of his head and placed a kiss on it. “You won’t have to worry or suffer anymore my love” I mumbled.

            Marshall continued to snore as I placed him on the couch next to the desk. His eyes flickered open and shut when I covered him with a blanket. “Shh, nothing to worry about anymore” I whispered. I placed several kisses on his temple and head and told him how much I loved him. I turned off the light and took my own nap in the bedroom.

"In every life, no matter how full or empty one's purse, there is tragedy. It is the one promise life always fulfills. Thus, happiness is a gift and the trick is not to expect it but to delight in it when it comes. And to add to other people's store of it. What happens if too early we lose a parent, that party on whom we rely for only everything? What did these people do when their families shrank? They cried their tears but then they did the vital thing. They built a new family, person by person. They came to see that family need not be defined merely as though with whom we share blood, but as those for whom we would give our blood." Vincent Crummbles, Nicholas Nickleby 

That is my favorite quote about family!
