they were all sitting around in the waiting room. paisley was holding tianna, and paula was holding taraji while she sobbed. greg was trying his best to comfort fantasia, but she didn't want to hear anything other than whether or not her son was okay.
"making my way downtown walking fast-"
"paisley shut the hell up." fantasia gritted.
"fantasia, chill out."
"don't tell me what to do."
"don't talk to my child like that."
"she heard what i said."
"and you heard what i said. watch yo self."
"or what?"
"yall not here. that baby is in there fighting for his life, and yall are going at when you're supposed to be comforting one another." paula said, looking between the couple.
"you're right, im sorry. paisley, im sorry for raising my voice at you."
"i accept your funky apology."
"thanks, i guess? babe, come kiss me."
taraji got up and sat next to her wife, pecking her lips 5 times before pulling her into a hug.
"i love you, pretty lady."
"i love you more, baby."
"family of Halo Henson?"
everyone stood, and the doctor approached them. disappointment written across his face.
"im so sorry-"
"no, what do you mean youre sorry? is he okay?"
"maam i was gonna say im sorry for the long wait, but he's stable and awake. his lung wasn't getting enough oxygen, and it caused him to pass out. if he had not gotten here on time, he wouldnt have made it. so to whomever caught this on time, saved that kids life. also, i saw that he's been prescribed an inhaler, correct?"
"thats correct."
"okay, so on the day that he gets discharged, we will send him home with a prescribed nebulizer machine with the mask attached. all of the directions will be printed and handed to you when that time comes. are there any questions?"
"yes, what seems to be the reason for him seizing and passing out seconds later?"
"passing out could possibly be from dehydration, standing too long, severe pain, low blood pressure and sugar. as far as him passing out, it's the lack of oxygen, tightness in the chest, and lightheadedness. so, make sure to always check for any signs of those particular things i just named. keep an eye on him at all times because this could happen at any given moment, and life could flash before the eyes."
"okay, can we see him?"
"yes, ma'am. right this way."

walking into the room, halos smile alone brightened the whole room.
"mommy, mama! grandpa and nana too?"
"yes, it's us too." paula said.
"hey baby." fantasia went to one side of the bed to kiss his forehead.
"hey, how you feeling, big boy?"
"im okay. where’s taylor?"
"at home, do you wanna call him?"
"yes– hey, titi."
"no!" tianna semi-yelled.
"fine, no need to yell."
