Stacey (▪Ch.7: da hard times▪)

I heard heels clicking as I laid on the porch of church, it was six - thirty and still dark outside.

"Did you talk to first lady?" A woman asked the other.

"Not at six am in the morning" the other chuckled laughed, then she dropped the bags that were in her hand and sped to me.

"Baby what happen to you?! Huh? Who did this to me" she touched my swollen face,

"Ow. Don't touch it hurts." I cried.

"Come on baby, get up" she helped me stand and I cringed from the pain.

.. .. ..

We found semen...she had to be ganged rape by at least three men, it's a miracle that she's still carrying the child." The doctor told Miranda, I heard them talking in the hallway

"Wow...she so young. I wanna find who did this to her, twelve years old...ganged rape? beaten? pregnant?! She's not even a teenager." She cried.

"Detectives are gonna come investigate."

"Okay"

Miranda came back in the room and closed the door, then she came to my bed side and sat next to me.

"What do you wanna eat little lady, my husband is gonna bring some food for you, I don't like hospital food I wouldn't have you eatin it." She smiled

"I'm not hungry" I stated.

"You know when your pregnant your suppose to eat, so the baby can get nourishment as well. Do you like Mexican food, I can get you some tacos, burritos, and a big sundae! You like that."

I smiled and nodded.

"Well get you that baby, do you take prenatal pills?"

"Who? What's that?" I asked.

"Somethin to keep the baby healthy while it's inside of you. How many months are you, do you know?"

"Four, i think. I-I want a girl"

"A girl?" She smiled "What you wanna name her?"

I cheesed and shrugged.

"Where's mommy?"

"At home, I don't live with her anymore."

She rubbed my hand and kissed it,

"Your so precious, you know that? Don't be in the streets, can you tell me who the boys were who raped you."

"I don't know the first two, but after Dame got done hitting me, he told I been- I been a bad girl again..so he just-" I shrugged and my eyes became moist.

"Stacey!" Tanisha ran in the room and looked out of breath. "Oh my God! I've been lookin for you for two weeks." She took a deep breath and stood at my bed side. "What happen?"

"She was beaten and raped last night." Miranda spoke for me

Tanisha rolled her eyes and shook her head.

"You see what happens, when you run away from home?"

"Are you her sister?" Miranda asked.

"No. I'm her mother, who are you?"

"Miranda, your daugher got robbed, beaten and raped, shouldn't you be more worried and not blaming her for this,"

"I am worried, why do you think i'm here" She stroked my hair and kissed my forehead.

"You okay?" She lifed up my chin and looked at my black eye "who did this?"

"Dame"

"Don't worry, I got his ass. The baby okay?" She placed her hand on my belly,

"Yeah."

"Okay, when they release you we gon go home and talk all of this out. Don't run away from home."

"Actually Ms.McCarey, Stacey can't go home with you until the investigation is over" A woman in a white suit entered.

"My child can't come home?" She gave them a sour look

"Correct. Stacey is pregnant at the age of twelve and wondering the streets...that led her to get raped. And that makes you look bad ma'am."

"She ran away. No one told her to go out of my house."

"Well Ms.McCarey, when she is release, she well be residing with Miranda because she is a member of the church that helps children find homes to go to."

"She's mine."

"That's the rules for now"

Joy came over me, when I found out that i didn't have to go home with Tanisha. I don't know Miranda but she's seems sweet and Sincere. So I wouldn't mind staying with her.

"Can I still see my brothers and sisters?"

"Of course" Miranda said.

3 months later.

"What is 11x11?" Miranda asked me as we looked through a math book together.

"121?" I said unsure.

"That's right! You so smart!"

"Stacey? Ain't this cute?" I turned to her daughter Kelsey, as she held up a pink baby outfit.

"Yes!" I covered my mouth.

"You know what you wanna name her yet?"

"No. Imma keep thinking though, Ms.Miranda, I know they said I can go back home when ever I want, but can-- can I stay here with y'all?"

She smiled and her eyes got moist.

"Of course baby, I'll start looking into adoption."

I cheesed and hugged her.

"I love you so much!"

"I love you too, I can't breathe though Stace" she laughed.

"Can you drop me off though, Raelynn's birthday is tomorrow and since we got that big thing at church...I want to see her today."

"Yeah baby, come on get your clothes on."

.....

We pulled up to my projects and the police and residents were surrounding one spot.

"What you think went wrong?"

"Somethin happen" I shurgged. "I'll be back"

I rubbed my belly and walked out the car, I watched as the police went back and forth. Then I finally went towards my house, the door was wide open, I walked in and it was quiet.

"Raelynn I got you a gift! Tanisha? Where yall at."

When I notice everyone was gone, I steeped, while walking to the crime scene, people I knew were staring at me with a sympathetic look.

"Excuse me" I said as I made my way through the crowd.

"My baby! No let me go!" Tanisha cried, I looked down and the police were covering Raelynn with a white sheet.

"Stop!" I pushed them out the way and uncovered her, she had a wound in the middle of her head and blood dripped from her mouth

"Rae?!" I cried. "Raelynn!" I screamed as if she would wake up from her lifeless shell, Jacob held Tanisha's knee as they both cried, I hollered and rocked my baby sister.

The police interupted me by pulling me off.

"No! No! I want sister! I want her!
