I was still in the hospital, and I was so tired of being in here just lying in this bed. I was lying on my left side facing Fantasia as she slept with the twins. It was Sunday so she didn't have to go open the center or anything, she brought the twins with her last night after dropping off Caleb and Liam. I looked behind me at the clock on the wall and it was 9 am. I sighed, I honestly felt miserable and useless I hated my sickness so much I never expected it to get this bad if I knew I'd be lying in a hospital bed for almost two weeks with two dying kidneys I would've offed myself a long time ago. I heard a knock on the door and my nurse entered with a tray of food.
"Good morning Mrs. Barrino-Henson, I have your breakfast here." I turned over on my back and slowly scooted up in the bed. She walked forward setting the tray down on my table and used the remote to sit me up more comfortably.
"Thank you, Tanya." She nodded with a smile before leaving the room.
"No problem. Let me know if you need anything else." I nodded. I looked down at the plate and frowned, I really didn't have much of an appetite but I decided to eat something anyway. I grabbed the fork and stabbed at my eggs before taking a bite. I ate all of my eggs and half of a pancake, before opening my apple juice and taking a sip. I grabbed my phone and saw I'd gotten a message from my sister Apryl, she had texted our group chat telling me that she and Mom had flown into town. I received the message a couple of hours ago, I didn't even know how I didn't see it I'd been up since 3 am. Courtney was supposed to be in town as well so I was really glad to see my mom and sisters. I missed them, I wished they lived closer. I responded to her message by hearting it and then closed out my messages.
"Mama?" I faced the couch that the three of them were asleep on and Ana was awake. I smiled as she climbed down. She walked towards me and I bent down to pick her up, I know I wasn't supposed to really be lifting her but my baby wanted me. I sat her on my lap and she laid her head on my chest right on my incision scar so I shifted her because the contact did hurt.
"Good morning princess."
"Good morning." She sat up when she saw my neglected breakfast. "Mama, can I have pancakes?" I nodded and pulled the table closer cutting the pancakes into smaller pieces and pouring the rest of the syrup over it. I grabbed a napkin and attached it to her shirt so she wouldn't make a mess on her clothes, I handed her the fork and she started eating. A few minutes later I saw Fantasia move in her sleep but she didn't wake up, her moving woke up Angelo though. He patted her Tasia's face and I snapped my fingers at him.
"Don't wake up Mommy, come here." He climbed over Fantasia and walked towards me, I lifted him as well. He was a lot heavier than Ana so it kind of hurt lifting him, I sat him on my lap and he immediately reached for what he wanted off of the tray. He picked up a piece of pancake with his hand and popped it into his mouth. "Mama, what's that?"
