"this is such bullshit." i say as i sit in the cell. i got arrested for killing them two men when it was self defense.

my lawyer is working on getting a bail for me. i really need to see a doctor to make sure my baby is okay.

something's wrong with it, i can tell. i'm not even upset about the fact that i'm arrested, im upset about my baby wellbeing and how that bitch got away.

"you have a phone call" an officer walks up to my cell and i immediately stand up. she unlocks my cell and i follow her to the phones.

i grab the phone and say "hello"

"baby, are you okay? your lawyer is working hard to get you on bail" the voice of my wife comes through

"i'm just worried about the baby. i don't think it's okay, like at all"

"request to see the doctor for an ultrasound. if they don't let you, call me. i'll make sure they get you one done. you'll only be there overnight and we should be able to get you out on bail at 7am"

"okay perfect. thank you. how's the kids?" i ask her

"they miss their mom but kourtney said she doesn't see anything you did wrong, you were just acting upon self defense which is correct. i still don't know who those guys are and why they came after you, it's most definitely some randoms who know our protocol really good. the fake name tags were actually insane" she say

"the woman too" i say

"woman? there was a woman?" she asks shocked

"she led me to them, told me you wanted to see me" i say

"i'll get to the bottom of this and i'll find her. don't worry she won't be let away free" she tells me

"20 seconds remaining" the automated system says

"i love you aaliyah and i'll see you soon."

"i love you more, see you in the morning" i smile over the phone before we both hang up.

the officer walks me back to my cell and on the walk i ask about healthcare and if they do ultrasounds.

she told me they did so i immediately asked for one and she told me she'll see what she can do before we reach the cell.

all i can do is lay there and pray my kid is okay. i mean i was actually starting to get excited and have hope that it'll live just for this to happen.

i hope they find the bitch because if not i will. some time go by before someone opens the cell. it's the same officer from earlier.

"come on, they're going to do one for you" she say and i stand up.

when get to a certain area and she leads me into a room with another woman who appears to be the doctor. "i'll be outside waiting" she tells me before leaving out the room

"how far along are you?" the doctor asks

"one more day to a month" i say before lifting up my shirt and a large bruise on my stomach shows.

she puts the cold stuff on the wand and then place it on my stomach. the sound of the heartbeat comes through but it's very slow.

"that can't be good..." i say before starting to cry. this baby have made me such a crybaby.

"it could be something minor but then it could be something very terrible. let's not think the worst"
