Big Aint Bad

Chapter 50

Mike

"Mike."

I turned around to see Armani. I fell into her arms. She hugged me really tight.

"Oh honey. It's gonna be okay." She said caressing my back.

"What if it isn't?" I asked.

"You have to have faith honey." She replied

"I'm trying to."

"I have a friend who works here. I'm gonna go see if I can find out what's going on." She said

I nodded & sat back down in my seat.

"Mr. Samuels?"

I looked up to see the doctor. I immediately stood up and walked over to him.

"Indiya has had a seizure due to Eclampsia. Her blood pressure rose too high too fast & that's how her body reacted. Although Eclampsia can be deadly, Indiya was very lucky. We were able to get her stabilized. She is in recovery."

"Where's my son?" I asked.

"He's in NICU. Your son was born very early. We believe that your wife's Eclampsia was what triggered the premature labor. He's only 2 pounds 12 ounces. His lungs aren't fully developed so he can't breathe on his own. He'll have to stay here in the hospital until he's at least 4 pounds 12 ounces. And showing improvement." He explained.

"Can I see them?"

"Your wife is resting in her room. Your baby is in the nursery."

"Is that where he'll stay? He can't be with his mother? I know it's not easy for him to be away from her as soon as he comes out."

"Well she has chosen to breastfeed so they'll have their bonding time." He explained.

"Okay. Thank you so much."

I called Armani & told her what they said. She came back where I was and hugged me once more.

"See I told you she would be okay." She said smiling

"I haven't loved anyone this hard since...you." I said looking down at her.

"Well umm I'm glad you found someone to love." She said nervously.

"Thanks for coming. I'm gonna go look at them & then I'm gonna go home & pack them up some clothes. We never got the chance to pack our hospital bags." I said

"Okay honey. If you need anything call me or Kemani. I'll be up here tomorrow to sit with her while you're at practice." She said kissing my cheek.

I walked in the room and looked at Indiya. She still looked the same. Her hair was layed messy around her head. She just looked like she was sleeping.

I grabbed her left hand & kissed it. I looked at the ring I had put on her finger just 4 months earlier. Damn I love this woman. I realized that no matter what she did I would always forgive her & welcome her back with open arms. Even though she was a complete nutcase. She was my nutcase. I couldn't wait until she was my wife.

I kissed her lips & left her sleeping. Then I went to look at my son. He was hooked up to IVs & tubes. I didn't like that shit one bit.

After checking on them I went home.
