Trav and Callie mm

Y'all get on my nerves pls 😒🙄

Omniscient
Bella, August, and Yolanda sat in the waiting room of the hospital waiting on word from the doctors on Travis and Callie's condition.

Yoyo held onto her bestfriend as she cried historically thinking the worst. Trying to keep her own sanity with the situation yoyo did her best to console Bella and August but it was only so much she could do.

"This is all my fault I shoulda never bothered him about that stupid ice cream." She hiccuped.

"Bella it's not your fault hun. God has a plan I promise you. Travis is strong he'll pull through and little Callie I just know they're alright." Feeling herself break down yoyo cried with her fiend.

Just thinking about Callie being with him and someone shooting them had them all going crazy.

"Aye man when dey gone tell me about my brotha and my fuckin niece? We been hea since 9:00 it's fuckn goin on one!" August yelled at one of the doctors passing through.

He was past calm. He was livid. He was ready to kill whoever had the nerve to shoot his brother and his niece.

The whole situation had him thinking about when he lost Melvin which only made it worse. He was losing his mind. Travis was all he had and he couldn't even stomach the thought of losing him. And Callie he didn't even want to think about what they could have did to his precious Callie.

Time passes by slowly and everybody was quiet as they cried and thought silently to themselves.

Tima's family came for Callie and in support of Travis. Because Tima was incarcerated they couldn't give her the news until she called or until the morning when they could notify the jail.

Bella drifted in thought as she thought about Callie and Travis both in surgery. Her heart broke into a million pieces. She couldn't even piece together why someone would do this to them. That was her family back there. She planned to be married to Travis and take Callie as her own. That was her family back there.

She was blaming herself for something that was out of her control.

"Family of Callie Labranch?" A nurse came out with a clipboard scanning the waiting room to see who'd respond.

August jumped up with Bella and everyone else in tow.

"Are any of you the child's mother?" Everyone looked off before August spoke up.

"I'm ha uncle and my sista hea is ha mama. Wats up doc? My baybeh alright ain't she?" August pulled Bella to the front with him catching everyone off guard.

Tima's family went to protest to his bold statement but he cut them a look daring them to say anything.

His only concern was making sure Callie was ok and if he had to lie to do it then he would. After all Bella did everything for her like a mother while Tima's been gone so he ain't see the problem.

"Ok well I need you two to follow me then." The nurse prompted as Bella and Aug didn't hesitate they quickly followed her lead.

Approaching a room door the nurse stopped.

"She's fine I've been with her since she got here. She's sleeping now." They both sighed in relief.

"Oh thank God." Bella blurted out.

"So what happened? Dey said sumn bout surgery and whea my brotha at man dis shit ain't addin up." August spoke up getting irritated again.

"From what I know the father was shot four times trying to protect the child. The baby wasn't hit due to her father shielding her but she went into shock from him being on top of her but she's fine." She nodded.

"Ok you keep saying she's fine but what about him?!" Bella yelled.

"Please I'm sorry calm down. He's still in surgery so I have no information on Mr. Labranch right now. But you can go in with the little one." They nodded still not satisfied with not knowing Travis's condition but grateful that Callie was ok.

"I am truly sorry that this had to happen. Mr.Labranch is in my prayers. The doctor will notify you with any updates they have." She gave a sympathetic look before walking off.

They entered the room and seen Callie sleeping peacefully. Her bloody clothes where on the counter in a zip lock bag.

Bella started to cry again upon seeing this because she knew who the blood belonged to.

"You wanna stay in here with her while I go get everyone else?" Bella asked August who simply nodded.

She gave Callie a kiss on the cheek running her hands over her hair before leaving the room.

August

I couldn't believe this. I couldn't wrap my mind around who would do some shit like this. My brother ain't deserve this he ain't deserve this at all.

Running my hands over my face I pulled up a chair next to Callie's hospital bed.

I felt like the world has stopped but looking at her face made it start up again.

She laid there so angelic as she snores silently.

I grabbed her little hand placing it in mine.

Looking at her face made me think of Travis and broke down. For all I know my brother was on his death bed because he'd die before he let anything happen to his baby.

He was a real man.

Callie started to stir opening her eyes. She looked around as if she was gonna cry until her eyes fell upon me. She smiled.

I smiled back wiping my tears that were constantly falling.

"Hey mamas. You had us all so worried about ya." I said picking her up and sitting on the bed.

She placed her head on my chest as I patted her back.

"Ya kno ya daddy gone pull through mama. He gotta pull through fa me and you and fa Bella man he got to."

"He love ya so much Callie he'd give you the world if he could. Hell I'd give it ta ya. Ya my baybeh to mama. I'm so happy you aight man." I poked her nose squeezing her tight as if she'd slip away if I didn't.

I could see her eyes fluttering indicating my talking was putting her to sleep.

"Let me sing you the sleepy song daddy sing to you." I said kissing her cheek.

"Sometimes these walls seem to cave in on me
When I look in your eyes, I feel alive
Some days we say words that don't mean a thing
But when you holding me tight, I feel alive
Make it last forever
Come on baby won't you hold on to me, hold on to me
You and I together
Come on baby won't you hold on to me, hold on to me
Each day I feel so blessed to be looking at you
Cause when you open your eyes, I feel alive
My heart beats so damn quick when you say my name
When I'm holding you tight, I'm so alive"

I held her little body as close as I could while she slept and I cried.

The door swung open causing me to wipe my face.

"Baby you can see him." Yoyo yelled before covering her mouth seeing Callie sleep in my arms.

I nodded my head as she grabbed Callie from me.

"Ya saw him?" She shook her head no.

"Bella went to the room but she wouldn't go in. He's in a coma and bandaged up." She whispered.

I bit my lip nodding my head before leaving the room.

My brother was strong I knew that for a fact.
