In Too Deep.

Early Arrival

(Peanut's POV)

"Help somebody please!" Shrilled Rainy from upstairs. Tre and Licia were too busy sucking each other's face off to even notice. I ran upstairs to see a trail of this nasty watery stuff on the floor. There she lay hunched over holding her stomach.

"Call an ambulance! I think the baby is coming Jamie"

I reached for the phone, dialing the number for an ambulance. I heard Tre and Licia make their way upstairs.

"Oh my God! Rainy" Licia shrieked as she made her way over to Rainy.

"Fuck!" I shouted in aggravation, "They won't be able to send an ambulance to this side of town fast enough.

"Yo, look I'll take her man." Tre suggested. I nodded grabbing a couple towels and some water for her along the ride.

When we made it into the car and I made sure I was right next to her, coaching her through it all.

"Breathe baby breathe,"

She took deep breaths, groaning every once and awhile while I wiped the sweat from her forehead. I was praying that we'd make it through this traffic jam so that she wouldn't have to deliver in the backseat. Plus, I didn't think my stomach would be able to support something like that.

Suddenly Rainy had a death grip on my hand, nearly breaking it off.

"AHHHH" I cringed.

"My baby is fucking coming! Hurry up"

I wanted to tell her that we were stuck and she'd have to hang on, but right about now she was scaring me, and I wasn't going to try my luck. I just kept rubbing on her, and trying to keep her as calm as possible for everybody's sake. And by the grace of God, the cars in front of us moved and we had made it to the hospital shortly.

I held her hand as the nurses came back with a wheel chair for her. Tre and Alicia stood by my side as they rushed her inside of a room placing her on top of a gurney. The doctor had explained to us that this was going to be a premature birth and that it's normal, the baby would just most likely be smaller.

I didn't take light to that though, I hoped he wouldn't be a midget or anything. I just hoped overall that he'd be normal and that everything would turn out fine...

She was now 12 hours into her labor, and she looked so miserable. I could barely watch as they induced her with her block, by stabbing this really thick and really long needle into her spine. I was thankful I was a man, but I was a little more understanding of women. I'd seen now what they'd have to go through, and they were indeed stronger than I could imagine.

She looked over to me with pleading eyes. Tre and Lili lay fast asleep, in their waiting chairs, but I couldn't sleep. I stayed wide awake, just to make sure my girl and my son were okay.

"You okay ma?" I asked

She shook her head no, as if she was about to cry.

I made my way to her, sitting on the edge of her bed. "Don't cry baby.. I'm here, I'm here for you." I cooed into her ear. She grabbed hold of my hand.

"Jamie.. I- I'm" She couldn't finish her sentence before she started to cry and scream.

"Nurse!" I called. I knew it was time now I felt it. Soon the nurses rushed into the room and so did the doctor.

(Eva's POV)

Ever since I'd found out that Trevor was dead. I'd been a wreck. I felt like I'd lost everything and in actuality I did. The house, the luxuries, my companion. Everything.

I moved in with my sister Marisol and her three kids, which was only choice I had if I didn't want to be homeless.

"Eva you can't keep beating yourself up over this hermana." She said, as she burped her infant.

I sighed, looking out the window. I didn't feel like talking. I felt like such a failure.

"What you need is a good shot of tequila" She suggested, dumbly.

"I'm fucking pregnant you stupid bitch." I snarled.

"Se me olivido mami ( I forgot)"

I rolled my eyes. How could she miss my massive belly? Was she blind or just fucking retarded?

I waved her off answering the door for my friend, Teyana and her cousin Mabeline.

Ever since Teyana had gotten shot in her back she'd been paralyzed. She was the reason that I knew for certain that Trevor was dead. She told me that her ex boyfriend Tre did it.

I guided Mabie, towards the family room, helping Teyana from her wheelchair onto to the couch. My sister's tribe of children were gone, which was good so we could talk without interruption.

Soon as she got situated she removed her bangs from her eyes and began to speak.
"So, how's the preggo life?"

I threw my head back dramatically. "Ouuwah, I hate it with a passion! Can't drink, can't party, can barely walk with my ankles being so swollen."

"I bet girl, sucks to be you" She teased.

I flung her a middle finger.

"Soooo, what did you want to talk about?"

She cleared her throat, "Massive sabotage business my friend."

"What?" I asked raising my brow.

"We're going to take over ma, we're going to ruin their lives like they ruined ours... I mean c'mon why do they deserve to be happy?"

When I thought about it, she was right. But how would we do that? What could we possibly take from them?

"How?" I asked smugly.

"We're gonna take over there business of course, and that bitch that stole him from me.."

(Rainiyah's POV)

At approximately 3:20 am, my beautiful baby boy, Elijah Ja'Leel Harris was brought into this world. He was 6 pounds and 7 oz.

All my doubts about being a mother had suddenly vanished when I saw his face. He looked so much like Jamie. I lay back smiling as I watched Jamie hold his tiny little body in his arms.

It was such as precious moment. I was happy to see Peanut changing. It was a positive change. And since the baby was fine, I'd be able to take him home In a few days.

I was grateful, and when they placed him back in my arms he opened his eyes and smiled a little.

"Hey mama's baby, hey little Eli." I cooed kissing his forehead.

I pecked Peanut's lips, placing my arm around his neck. "I love you baby." "I love you too."
