Tierra POV
"Fuck" I said looking down at my side as Taj put the new bandage on for me.
He kissed my stomach and pulled my shirt down.
"You good" he asked.
I nodded.
"I just need my medicine" I said.
"I thought you already took it" he asked.
"No I was trying to wait it out so it'll last through the party" I said taking my hands off of his shoulders.
"I'll go get you a water" he said standing up.
"Okay" I said.
He kissed my lips and left out the bathroom.
I went over to the mirror and lifted my shirt looking at the white bandage on my side.
I shook away the thought of almost having left my kids permanently and fixed my shirt. I grabbed my pain killers and poured two in my hand.
"Here" Taj said walking in.
I took the water and thanked him. After taking my pills I sat the bottle of water down.
"You okay" he asked looking at me.
I thought about lying but the tears started to fall telling my truth.
"I can't help but to think I almost could've not been here to see my baby turn 9. I missed Tahirs-" I said before breaking down.
Taj walked over and wrapped his arms around me and I cried in his chest.
I felt him kiss my head a few times.
"All that matters is you're here now" he said.
"I can't live this lifestyle much longer. That shit was a wake up call" I said pulling away and grabbing some tissue.
I dabbed my eyes since I had a light makeup beat on my face.
"What you mean" Taj asked.
"I can't be in this street shit much longer, I can't take anymore chances" I said.
"If that's how you feel I'm not gonna stop you but that shit ain't have nothing to do with you, them niggas was looking for Ty-" he said.
I looked at him.
And before I could speak he did.
"G I'm not trynna do this let's just go and make sure Junie enjoy his day" he said.
I walked pass him out the bathroom and went and got the kids in the truck.
"Mommy my party is gonna be the best" Titan said.
I smiled and looked back at him.
Taj had gotten a new Escalade truck while I was in the hospital so we're in that. He said it made us look presidential with the all black detail and tented window.
"You excited" I asked him.
He nodded smiling.
"Mommy I want my party at the water park next time" Tai said.
"You don't even like the water" Titan said to him.
"Yes I do I like to take baths in mommies tub all the time" Tai said to him.
I looked at Taj as he got in the truck.
"What" I said seeing the face he was making.
"Why you ain't say y'all was in here I was in there waiting on you to say you were ready" he said.
