"I don't know where they at mom. I'm going to call Cloe again then we on our way, don't wait for us though and tell Christine Ima call her"
"Alright baby. I love you "
"Love you too ma. . . See you soon"
I hang up and My phone rings, It's some number calling "hello?"
"Hell is this Mr. Emperor?"
"Yes"
"We have your son in our custody at Mercy hospital. Can you please come in"
I get off the phone and speed my way to the hospital. I hope he's all good man. Where is Cloe?***
"Cloe?" I say as I see her crying in the waiting room . She looks up then stand up, I see blood on her arm and panic "Maurice" she says
"Where's my son Cloe?"
"His arm. Is broken"
"How did is break baby" Then she falls into me and start sobbing
"What are you saying Baby?"
"I did what you told me not to do" she cried harder
"What is that? What happened, please just tell me"
"I took it to Marc party. My mom and I start fighting and he just start crying and-"
"YOU TOOK MY SON THERE AFTER I TOLD YO ASS NOT TOO! See this that shit, now he hurt. Are you fucking happy now?" I just go off
"I'm sorry "
"Nah my son arm broke your sorry ain't gonna take away the pain he feeling. I told yo ass. That was stupid as fuck Cloe"
"I know but-"
"But my ass! Ima kill this nigga. I swear on my son I am. Unlike you I care about M.J"
"Excuse me! I care about him to"
"Nah no you don't. You don't care about shit. Move out my face Cloe" then I push her and go talk to the doctor.
"He will have on a cast for about four to six weeks. But nose it good to. He fell pretty hard but that's what kids do. Here is the prescription to his pain medicine and he's all set" his doctor say looking at him
"You all good man?" I ask as he's licking his sucker
"Yeah. My cast is red daddy look" I see. Our favorite color
"And what can you not do to the cast Maurice?"
"Get it wet?"
"Right. You can draw on it and everything else"
"Can we go to eat cake and ice cream at Cristal party?" He ask referring to
my niece
"Yeah. Let's go get mommy, your medicine and we there like rabbit hair" I say and he laughs."Come here Cloe" I say to her as we're in our kitchen.
"Yes?"
"M.j is okay. He's still hurt but he's okay but baby girl, are you?"
Before I know it she breaks down like I'm talking about snot nose, coughing, shaking all that. I pick her up and lay her down.
I know Clo has been so hurt lately. "Just sleep okay. Tell me in the morning " I whisper to her.As she's sleeping I zip up my black hoodie. It's just some shit you gotta finish when you ain't start it.
I love Cloe so much that's why I have to do what I'm doing.Cloe
I woke up at 2:54 p.m. Which isn't even normal. "Maurice. . . Little Maurice?" I get out the bed and all kinda of Roses are through the room. From teal, white, pink, orange, black, lavender, even ivory. I "Good afternoon my queen. M.J and I cooked you breakfast but he's taking a nap " he says
"Awwww thank you" I said almost in tears
"Baby, what's wrong?" He ask sitting the food on the dresser
"I went behind your back and put our son in a messed up situation and you sitting here with food, roses, and looking good"
"Well this top it off. . . our wedding is getting moved up to this April in two months in a half . I can't stand to wake up and you not Mrs. Emperor. I cleared April 7th for our wedding" After he said that. I fell in love again.
"From me being a stripper and pushing him away, almost shooting him, from finding out I'm pregnant and then I "supposed" to had lost the baby to having the baby and then now we here. Going to be married and we did it. Like you didn't judge me-""And I won't judge you. Because you been through too much. You ain't never gotta worry about getting judged or hurt. You my woman, remember that. Your my prize and I'm the winner. Cloe you changed the game. I ain't never heard of no female approaching a dude about I want some dick type of stuff and actually keeping him. You been with two dudes and carry yourself good. Nothing hoeish about you, nothing trashy, just classy" with that being said she ate her breakfast and we enjoyed our day off with M.J.
Sometimes taking a risk at something new isn't bad or sometimes just stepping out your comfort zone isn't too bad. The thing's people say about you isn't all true. If it is and you don't like it, change it. When you open your eye's, it's you that is seeing the world not your mom, dad, sister or brother, just you. If you sell dough, strip, lay on your back, rap, sing, hoop, dance or even teach do what you do to live how you need or want to. Don't let nobody knock your hustle.
Everyone makes mistakes but not everyone can move past theirs so who are they or you to judge? Only one being can judge and that's God.
