Omniscient

Imani's eyes fluttered open and she began to wake up, her eyes wandering about the room. She looked over at the machines that she was hooked up to and she then knew exactly where she was. She looked over once again to find her best-friend sleeping next to her in the recliner.

Her body was just too heavy and exhausted to get up. Imani felt a little scared and couldn't quite remember what happened and how she'd gotten here. She only seemed to remember her and Man talking before everything went black.

The door opened and Man walked through the door, his arm in a sling and a stitch above his eye. When he noticed she was up, he went to get the doctor quickly.

Jr. And Toya quickly tended to her and didn't leave her side. The doctor came in to give Imani a thorough exam.

"What happened?" Imani asked in a raspy voice.

"Ms. Green you were in an accident. You had a couple of rib fractures that pierced your lung, so you have a chest tube in right now. You hit your head and lost consciousness, so you may not remember what happened." She starts. "We repaired your broken leg but your ribs will heal on their own."

"And the baby? What about my baby? Please tell me my baby is okay." Imani pleads.

"As of right now, your baby is fine. But with this kind of thing, we have to continuously monitor your baby. You're at the very start of your second trimester so we're gonna monitor you both carefully okay?"

Imani sighs and nods, feeling a little relief. "Thank you."

The doctor nods and covers Imani back up. "Make sure you rest honey. And please, feel free to call if any of you need anything."

"Thank you." Toya says.

The doctor departed from the room and Toya sits on the bed next to Imani.

"Thanks for being here." Imani says.

Toya nods. "Of course." She says. "Rico wants to come by, but I wasn't sure if you wanted to see him right now. But if you do, I can make the call. He's been blowing up your phone for days. I know you two aren't really getting along."

Imani nods. "It's fine T. Call him."

Imani feels herself slipping back into sleep once again and just allowed herself to drift away.

Rico

I knew that Rich was responsible for what happened with Imani and her brother. I hadn't spoken to Imani in days and I had been very worried about her and the baby. So when her friend called, I came as quick as I could.

"You pacing and shit. You making me all nervous nigga." Von said, leaning forward in his chair.

My nerves was bad. I was just ready to see her. I had been waiting for about an hour now. What the fuck was taking them so long?

"We gon get that nigga. Don't even sweat it." He says.

"Drop a price. I want him alive. His ass ain't no good to me if he already dead." I said quietly. "Imma make his ass suffer."

He got up from his chair and nodded. "Imma handle it. Go check on your girl."

I left Von behind while he made a call. Imani's brother was waiting for me at the entrance.

"How she doing?" I asked.

"Lil beat up, but she gon be aight." He says. "She a hardbody."

I nodded and we continued walking. "Look, I know we got all this shit going in the streets, but I do care about your sister. I ain't mean for all this shit to go down like this." I started. "But imma handle that. Don't sweat it."
