Peaches II

20

Jay opens his eyes to see himself lying in a hospital bed next to his baby sister

"Mmm what happen to me?"

Linda picks her head up

"You clasped & started having a seizure"

"Oh"

"The doctor said that you have to stay here for awhile until your test results comeback"

Jay just looks at her

"What did you & Valentin talk about?"

"Nothing important & don't worry about it alright you just focus on getting better I gotta go OK"

"Alright"

She leaves & as she walks outta his room tears running down her face as she thinks about what Valentin told her

45 minutes ago

Valentin goes into another with Linda, she grips to her purse

"Linda"

"Yes"

"Is the baby mines or Jay's?"

"I don't know, when this baby comes I will have a test done to find out but please I don't......"

He grabs her slowly pulling her towards him giving her kisses so sweet that her mind travels into her memories as she remembers when they first kissed each other when they first met, they both pull away slowly. He looks into the eyes of the woman who he treated like garbage, abused, cheated on & hurt constantly to see a woman broken emotionally, mentally & spiritually

"Linda, I know I can never take back what I have put you through all these years & I know all the apologies can't ease your pain that I caused you emotionally, physically & mentally but I'm working on bettering myself for you & our kids, I want to be a better man & I understand completely if you want to leave me & move on you deserve so much better than me, I should've given you the world when you clearly deserved it .

Jay isn't the one who can give you everything you deserve, I know I am not the one to talk, but he is on the path of self-destruction & I will allow myself to see you get caught up in that, I love you, you're my wife, the mother of my children I have been with you for 23 years & it's been a hell & back for both of us honestly, I won't give up any of it because you have been my queen the only woman was been down for me all this time.

Now this is a time where I have finally opened my eyes to see what I have in front of me, it has taking me 23 years to see what type of man I am into you & I am very sorry I haven't been a man at all, with all the teachings I have learned.

"A real man, the kind of man a woman wants to give her life to, is one who will respect her dignity, who will honor her like the valuable treasure she is. A real man will not attempt to rip her precious pear from its protective shell or persuade her with charm to give her away her treasure prematurely, but he will wait patiently until she willingly gives him the prize of her heart. A real man will cherish & care for that prize forever." (Inspired by Leslie Ludy)

I have not done any of that to you & I want to spend the rest of my life giving that to you Linda, I know this is a lot on you please can you give me at least one more chance to make anything & everything right with you & everyone I have caused problems with Tyree Peaches & our girls Diamond & China. Linda, you have a heart of gold & a love very pure."

He places his hands on her cheeks wiping the tears than cups her face with them

"Can you ever forgive an old man who has fallen from his throne & and completely lost his way?"

As she's about to say something she feels the baby kick her, she looks down placing her hand on her belly then faces Valentin

As she has listened to his words she is so consumed with mixed emotions she can't hear what her heart is telling her

"Are you ok?"

He places his hands on her's for the first time in years she doesn't have to be afraid nor does she feel fear as she is standing with him feeling the baby move around

"I am ok Valentin"

"Ok good.... Linda can I ask one more thing of you?"

"What is it?"

"Can I have a hug?"

She nods her head yes & she opens her arms slowly he raps his around her & breathing in her sent, he feels so much relief being lifted off his shoulders he just holds her, she rests her head on his shoulder with her belly pressing up against him

They both pulled away slowly, her face is covered in tears & she drops her head down

He picks her head up with his finger

"Linda, I love you"

He kisses her forehead & gives her a warm smile then he leaves the room

Linda has so much on her mind but she knows she can't have both she is going to take this time to really figure out who her heart desires & who she truly loves

She leaves the hospital

........

Tyree sitting down just looking up at Peaches holding her hand & Jay comes out of the bathroom to lay down in his bed

Jay breaks the silence between them

"I thought about what you said"

Tyree stays quite

"I am sorry for everything & you are right about everything"

"I just said what you needed to hear"

"I know but when I had that seizure I seen Jay Jay he told me that he forgave me & he always has my back"

"He always did, I wasn't trying to replace you as his father when me & Peaches has him. I wanted to give him that male figure in his life...... I know we aren't on the best of terms but I am a married man with kids of my own I wanna stop all this beefing I'm getting older everyday & much more wiser then I was before.

Do you ever think about everything & wanted to be good where you at in your life?"

"I wanted to be wit my son, but I let all of my selfishness get in the way of that. I can't see him everyday, but now I know he has forgiven me...... Tyree I am sorry for everything I am"

"We good man, you just gotta swear that you will stop coming after Peaches & let her live her life she ain't in no position to always fight with you , your her brother she has this love for you that's undeniable & always will remain that way"
