"Mr Lewis, your wife lost alot of blood and......"

"What you mean doctor?" Trigga is standing infront of me while my mom take Iyana from my hand and moving to a quite area.

I know they are talking but I can't process what it is that they are saying. My mind is on Ria, all the times she made me smile, all the times we fucked.

The way she would go shy just looking at me.

The way she would lie to cover for everyone.

These things got a nigga up in his feelings and I know I did and said some shit I wasn't supposed to but if god can hear a thugs prayer then I need him to listen up real quick.

Not like I can promise not to kill a nigga but I can promise to reason through it and make sure who is dying deserve it.

"Yow!" I feel a hand on me and push it off.

"Relax mon a me. She good mi G" Uncle Pinpin says pulling me into a manly hug.

"Yeah, she alright. You can go see her in the morning." Trigga says wrapping his hands around me.

"Wah you mean pops? She nuh dead?"

"No. She alive."

"Suh how the nurse seh.... Pops, uncle mi need fi find a yute and punish him."

"Anything you say a law mi nephew."

"We need fi find a yute name Eddy. All a this starts with him."

I gasp and my eyes open in lightly lit room. The scent alone makes me know I'm still in a hospital.

The clock on the wall indicates that it's almost four in the evening. I feel my stomach and I remember I had my baby girl.

I feel for something to buzz so I can alert someone I'm awake when I feel drowsy, my eyelids get heavy and everything goes dark.

…………………………………………………………

"She has been sleeping for almost eight days. Are you certain she will recover?"

Before I can open my mouth to talk, my eyelids get heavy.

....…………………………………………………

"Fuck you a tell mi? Mi wife a sleep fi days and you a tell mi that normal?"

………………………………………………………

My eyes flutter open and I feel someone grab my hand.

"Babes! Look at me."

I turn my head slightly and Kahjeel is holding our baby in his hand while squeezing mine.

My heart is over joyed at the feeling of watching them together. My eyes get heavy again and I drift off.

…………………………………………………………

I feel a light movement close to me and my eyes open alot easier now. The room is bright with balloons all over and flowers scattered all over.

A doctor is looking through my chart and notice my eyes open. "Welcome back Mrs Lewis. I'm going to get some help to remove the tube."

She hussle outside and a few seconds later she return witn another doctor.

"This will be a little uncomfortable and you may cough and get thirsty but take small room temperature sips okay."
