Chapter 5
As I took Adriana to the hospital, she began to tell all of what she has been doing. "I'm sorry. I'be been acting like the old me lately. Can I tell you something, without you telling Jamal, nor getting mad at me?" I had to say yes. "I have been lying. Haydenn isn't the reason I've been sick. I'm dying. I have cancer. They've made sure that I can live till his ready to be born, but he needs to come out by next month, or I'll die." I just sat back, I couldn't believe that he didn't tell me. "How long have you knew?" She sat back, "Going on two years." I looked at her, I can't believe she was just going to let herself die away. "Why didn't you do anything to stop it? It's been two years." "I did. Nothing was working. I can't have kids. So, that's why I was ok with having your baby. I just..." She had stopped, and looked at her tummy, as if Hev was kicking her.
"Adriana, I'm going to see if we can have a a early birth. Can't have you dying on us." She sat back with a smile on her face, "is it ok if I can go to sleep till we get there? I'm so sleepy. Haven't slept in a while, unfortunately." I looked at her, "Ok. Get some rest. You'll need it."
A few minutes passed by, Jamal texted me, letting me know what he was doing, "Mommy, everyone wishes you was here. They loved my work, and can't wait till you get here. How's Adriana? Please tell me that she's ok." I was happy that he still cared about his sister. "She's ok Baby. And let everyone know, I'll try to get there as fast as I can." As I sent that message, I'd pulled up to the E.R. "Adriana, wake up," I pushed her to get her up "we're here." She didn't move. When I looked to see if she was breathing, but I couldn't feel a thing. I jumped out if the car, yelling, "HELP! HELP! I HAVE A PREGNANT WOMAN IN MY CAR WHO'S NOT BREATHING. HELP! HELP!"
A EMT came to the car, grabbed Adriana's hand, then picked her up. "Ma'am, please go park your car. I will take her in for you." "Thank you." "You're welcome."
I ran making sure that I was able to eat there in time. They had the paperwork waiting on me to sign. "Please, fill this out." "I've have to call my husband up here. This his sister. But it's my baby." "How many months is she?" She due anytime." He look at me with a uneasy look upon his face. "Ok. We'll take care of them. May I ask what do you mean by it's your baby?" "She pregnant with my husband and I child." "But you're pregnant yourself. Why put so much on yourself?" "It's a long story. Please, let's just think about her." "Ok ma'am."
