My Brother's Best Friend

Chapter 37

Song of the day: One Wish(Ray J)

*Santo's POV*

I woke up again at eight in the morning. I sat up and kissed Jazmine's forehead, moving her hair out of her face. "Good morning, baby girl. I love you." I told her. I placed a kiss on the back of her hand. "I'm gonna go home and take a shower. I gotta get the girls, and we'll come up here. I'll be right back. I love you, Jazmine." I told her, before releasing her hand. The doctors said she can hear us, she just can't respond. I kissed her forehead once more before leaving the room.

"Call me if anything happens. I mean anything." I told the doctor. He nods.

"I know, Mr. August. You really love her, I can tell." He answered.

"I do." I answered.

"She should wake up soon. We're really trying." He assured me.

"I know, doc. I just miss her and so do the girls."

"You going to get them?"

"Yes, sir."

"Well, I'll let you go so you can get back to her."

"Thank you."

I continued walking down the hall. It's been a week and she hasn't woken up yet. They got the bleeding stopped, and now she should be up anytime soon. I miss her, Kaden misses her, Des misses her, Ray misses her, Meila misses her, Kay misses her, Jacob misses her, Craig misses her, even CeCe misses her and they hardly know each other.

I got in the truck and rested my head on the head rest, just sitting there for a minute. I took a deep breath as I closed my eyes. I took a few more deep breaths before opening my eyes and starting the truck.

I stopped by our house to shower and change into clean clothes. I grabbed something to eat before locking up and leaving again. Then I went to Ray's house to get the girls.

"Your dad is here, Kaden!" Ray yelled, stepping to the side and letting me in. I heard footsteps coming as I dapped Ray.

"Wassup." He greeted.

"How was the girls?" I asked.

"They were good. They kept me up all night, but they were good." Ray answered.

"They're gonna stay the night with my mom tonight. Thank you for watching them." I thanked him.

"It's no problem. I'll stop by the hospital after work today. I have to pick up Vanessa and Meila first. They wanna go see her." Ray informed me. I only had time to nod before Kaden was in sight. I picked her up.

"Daddy, I missed you so much! Can we see mommy today?" She asked, hugging me and carrying out the 'so'

"Yes, baby. We're gonna go see her as soon as we get your sister." I promised.

"Okay, I go say bye?" She asked.

I put her down and she ran off while I went to get Des. She was wide away in her swing. I picked her up and she smiled. "Hey, baby. You ready to go see mommy?" I asked in my baby voice.

I got her dressed and then buckled her up in her carseat. I said goodbye and thank you to everyone before going to the truck. I hooked Des' seatbelt up and buckled Kaden in before I got in and drove us to Burger King.

I got a whopper, fries and a chocolate milk shake, Kaden got chicken nuggets and a vanilla milk shake with fries, and Des can't eat yet. I picked up some snacks so Kaden had something to munch on today.

"Princess, you wanna go to a park?" I asked Kaden.

"No thank you, daddy. I want mommy." She answered, putting another chicken nugget in her mouth. I sighed and turned into the parking lot. I don't want her to be stuck up here all day every day, I want her to be happy and enjoy herself.
