"I'm sorry but you are having a miscarriage." Doctor Murphy said.
"What?" I started crying. "How can this happen? What did I do?"
"Lashay it is not your fault, these type of situations happen...You didn't do anything wrong. Don't put that type of stress on yourself."
I broke down.
"Not my fault? Why is my baby dead? What are we going to do." I said crying.
"We are going to give you surgery to get the unborn out. You will be able to hold him or her before we take it." He said calmly.
They rolled me on the bed to another room. The doctors gave me some medicine to put me to sleep.
{ "MOMMA!" I Yelled. "Is that you?"
"In the flesh it is." She said. "Hi my sweet baby."
"Momma I need you." I started crying. "Momma I wanna come with you. I can't stay here." I said."
"You will and you are going to. Tay needs you more than anything right now. He just lost two important things to him. He can't loose his lifeline too. You're all he got besides yall daddy." She said.
"Ma how come you ain't tell me? That man not my daddy." I said still crying.
"He is your daddy Lashay. He took you in. He took care of you. The responsibilities that your biological father didn't do. And you are so selfish. I saw the way you walked away from him at that visit... Look Lashay, I know I wasn't alive to be able to tell you myself. But I didn't want you seeing him any different like you are now." She said.
"Ma see him different? That's what you were worried about. I'm laying here about to have my baby. My baby taken out of me." }
I was awoken. The doctors were
standing about me.
"Would you like to hold her? It's a girl." The doctor Said.
"Yeah." Tears ran down my cheeks.
He handed me a baby the size of a
pickle.
"She's so beautiful." I said.
I looked at her tiny feet and tiny eyes.
"My baby. A'leah." I said.
Doctor Murphy took her from me.
Tay had walked in. He looked at me
then looked at the baby in his hands.
"Would you like to hold her? Doctor Murphy asked Tay.
He handed his hands out as if yes.
Doctor Murphy placed A'leah in his
hands.
"Whatchu name her?" He looked up and asked me.
"A'leah." I Said.
"Why that?" He asked.
"Cause Aaliyah is my favorite singer
and don't she look like an A'leah to you?" I said.Tay handed A'leah to the doctor and a
few tears came down his face. He
walked over to me and hugged me.
He whispered, "I'm sorry this had to happen to both of us." He said.
I looked at him, "We're gonna get through this together. I said.
