The Love We Found

Is there Hope?

We waited anxiously in the lobby. After Malachi got a call from Kev telling him that Zulu had been shot, and for us all to meet at the hospital, we knew it was serious.

I waited anxiously with Mal leaning my head on his shoulder being 5 ths pregnant is hard. I'm always either tired or hungry or even worse wobbling to the bathroom to pee.

I must of doze off for a few because I heard Malachi's stronng voice calling my name.

"Lena.... Lena wake up" he said in a sodt tone.

I sat up to find everyone gone, "Where is everyone?" I asked in a groggy voice.

"There in visiting Zulu" he said rubbing my back.

"Oh, Oh great is she ok? How is she?" I said a smile plastering my face. Though Malachi's grim face didn't seem to change.

"Lena she's ... she's not so good. The bulet hit her spinal cord and another hit the side of her brain. The doc says IF she wakes up she probably won't be about to talk or remember much and there's. 90 percent chance she will never walk again."

I just looked down and a tear slipped down my cheek. I felt bad for Zulu she didn't deserve this. She didn't deserve to be in a hospital bed right now fighting for her life.

I got myself up and walked in Zulu's room. Quan was right next to her, his hand in her's.

Nick was holding Silla in his arms with the baby sleeping soundly in the stroller. Kev was hugging Kaylee in the corner kissing her head and well Zulu was there. Her golder hair was laying softly next to her, you could see the part where the doctors shaved her head to take out the bulet. She looked peaceful except for the long blue tube hooked up to a breathing machine pumping oxygen in Zulu's lifeless body. I watched Quan again and her just kissed her hand and I could tell he needed time.

I turned and looked at Malachi, his eyes full of sadness, "Malachi I want to go home... please"

He nodded and kissed everyone goodbye. I walked with him hand and hand down the hall with him to the elevator.

Once inside I buried my face in his broad chest and just closed my eyes as we rode the flights down.

When we got back to my house, I didn't want to be alone so I let Malachi stay with me. These past two days have been hard on everybody. First we lost Duke, and now we may loose Zulu. What's Next?

I layed next to Malachi and cried, because I'm scared. It hasn't been a whole two years since we were all united and now it feels like everyone I've grown close to is leaving.

"Don't cry" said Malachi his fingers running through my hair.

"Mal everything is crumbling. What if something happens to our baby?" I say rubbing my plump stomach.

Malachi grabbed me by my arms and looked me deep in my eyes and I saw the vengeance and death that many men have fell victim too.

"I will never let anything happen to you, let alone my son! I will take every bulet, beating and whatever the fuck else god has for me to protect you and our son! Lena I love you and I know your still trying to figure out if you love me, but I'm going to tell you now. Your mine. You'll always be mine and no one will hurt you! I promise!" I saw a tear fall from his eye and I just hugged him closely. I know Malachi would do anything for our son and I but what's next?

I can feel that this is only the quite before the storm. My only question is where's the thunder? Haven't we been hit with enough lightning?.
