Jody -
"Man Pea have you been thinking about how you wanted to propose to Kim yet?" I asked.
"Man I don't know but I don't want no usual shit, I want it to be something different. A nice dinner, movie, shit maybe go on the roof top and do a candle light dinner I don't know what I wanna do, but I wanna do it, I been over hearing her talking to Yvette about what if I don't wanna marry her, I don't want her thinking like that but then I don't wanna rush," he said.
"Man I hear you, you can't rush it, it's gotta be the right timing," I said. "Yeah Jody Jo, she been tripping lately dropping hints and shit like a nigga don't know what's going on," he laughed. "Why do females do that shit?" I asked.
"They trying to catch ya homie, they wanna trap yah," he said. "I don't follow bruh," I laughed. "Man the minute they think you ain't paying attention or you giving your attention away they think it's another woman, or not attracted to them anymore," Pea said.
"I hear you bro but that shit just drive me crazy," I said. "I hear you bro, but hopefully by the end of this year I'll be a married man," Pea said. "Iight bro I'm gone hold you to that," I said.
Just then Kim ran outside. "Jody! Yvette had been calling and calling you she said her water just broke!" Kim yelled. "Come on Jody Jo we gotta go!" Pea yelled.
Me, Pea, and Kim hopped in the car and I drove to the house. Once we made it we ran inside the house. "Come on baby lets get you too the hospital!" I yelled. "Jody I'm gone stay here with the kids!" Kim yelled.
"Call my mother for me Kim tell her to meet us at the hospital!" Yvette yelled. I got her in the back seat while Pea was trying to keep her calm. I pressed my foot on the gas and was doing 75 in a 55 speed limit. I didn't care about getting a ticket. I just wanted Yvette to safely get to the hospital.
I pulled up In front of the hospital and the nurses helped Yvette onto the hospital bed. "Pea call my momma for me!" I yelled as I threw on the stuff the nurse handed me.
"It's gone be okay baby I'm right here with you," I said as I held Yvette's hand. "Jody! Please get this baby out of me!" She yelled as she squeezed the hell out of my hand. I wanted to cry so fucking bad because she had he nails dug all into the palm of my hand.
Once we got into the room, Doctor Sanchez came and she washed her hands and put on her gloves. She grabbed her tools as she opened Yvette's legs. I grabbed the cool rag and wiped Yvette's forehead.
"Jody," she whimpered. "We got this baby it's gone be okay I promise you," I said as I kissed her forehead. She nodded and then Doctor Sanchez gave her instructions to push. I watched as Yvette took her deep breaths and then she pushed. As I held onto her hand I realized all things this woman does for me. Here she is about to give birth to My son. She's accepted My daughter from another relationship that didn't have to happen. She just gave birth to our daughter Asia and of course she's always been there for Jo Jo.
This woman goes through so much shit for me and I have nothing to offer her. Yet and still she stands by side supporting me and holding my hand. Uplifting me, and yet I still fuck around with my baby mama and I still run around like I didn't stand at the alter and promise to forsake all others. I tear fell down my eyes as Yvette gave her last push and I heard my son crying.
As the nurses placed Andre in my arms, I couldn't control my tears. I couldn't help but smile as he held my hand and looked up at me. He had my eyes, but he had Yvette written all over him. I kissed his forehead and sat down on the hospital bed next to Yvette.
"Jody, he's got your eyes," she smiled. "Yeah I know, you ready to hold him?" I asked. She nodded her head and I placed him in her arms. I smiled as he looked around. Yvette began singing to him and he moved around a bit.
"Baby, thank you so much, while you were pushing him out, I just hand to think for a bit, I had to think about all this stuff that you keep doing for me, and yet I keep being un grateful, I keep hurting you and breaking your heart. But I just want you to know that I love you, I love you so much and I'm so sorry, I'm sorry for all those times I cheated on you, all those times I came home late at night smelling like another woman, I'm sorry as hell baby," I said as I wiped the tear that fell down my eyes.
"Jody, I love you, you don't have to keep apologizing. I already forgave you a long time ago. I know you're heart baby. We've both made mistakes. But now it's about us and our children. We have Asia, Jo Jo, Saharria, and now our newest edition, Andre, we have so much going on baby we can't hold on to the things we did in the past, I love you Jody I always will," she said as she pulled me down for a long lingering kiss.
"Don't be getting freaky up in here!" Pea yelled as he came in with a teddy bear and some balloons. "Dada!" Saharria yelled as she ran over to me. "Hey mommy!" Jo Jo yelled as he walked over to Yvette and sat down on the bed. Kim came in with Asia in her arms.
"How did you guys get here?" I asked. "Your mom picked us up she's in the lobby she's on her way in," Kim said. "Daddy is that my new brother?" Saharria asked. "Yes it is," I said. "Saharria, Jo Jo this is your new baby brother Andre," Yvette said. "He looks like you mommy," Saharria said. "He's got me and daddy's eyes," Jo Jo said.
"He does doesn't he?" I asked. "Mine too," Saharria pouted. "Yeah he's got your eyes too princess," I said as I pecked her forehead. Kim brought Asia over and she laid her head on Yvette's arm. "All my babies," Yvette said. "what about me?" I asked. "You know your my big baby," she said as she pecked my lips.
My mom and her mom came in next to see Andre. We took pictures we laughed and then we talked a little while longer. Once Yvette was ready to go to sleep we all left. I took the kids to McDonalds for dinner and then we went back home. I couldn't wait until Yvette and Andre came home from the hospital. I missed them already.
