For The Road

Chapter 33

"YOU DID THIS TO ME!," I yelled at Tyler.  I grabbed his hand and squeezed his hand. I winced in pain and they set me on the bed. I breath heavy and look around. The doctor walks in like there is no baby coming.

"Hello, you ready?," I look at him like he is crazy.

"OW!," I yell. "It hurt babe," I say turning and looking at him.

"Does she-,"

"No!," I yell inhaling and exhaling. I start sweating and I get hot, I want to kick these sheets off.

"I see the head, alright push on 3, 1,2, 3," I pushed as hard as I can. "Take a breath," he said.  "alright and push," I squeezed onto Tyler's hand and push.

"Here she is," I smile at her and take a breath. "Ms. Layah Emily Morris," the nurse said. They took her to wash her up. I start taking long blinks soon turning into me sleeping.

*

"She looks just like her mother," I wake up and Tyler is holding her and she is squirming in his arms. I see my mother walking into the recovery room and my sister and the whole family. But Marlon. "Your up," he smiles.

"How is she?," I ask.

"Happy," he says. I snap a picture and save it as my screensaver. 

"Hey," my father says.

"Hi," I smile and sit up. "Wheres Marlon?,"

"He didnt answer his phone," Lauryn said rocking playing with Layah.

"Oh okay, has she awoken?," my mom asks.

"Yeah she loves to squirm in his arms," I smile. Tyler hands her to my mother, I notice how red Tyler's hand is. "I did that?," I giggle.

"Yeah hurts real bad,"

"Aw poor baby," I said smiling.

"Did you guys get the crib and everything set up?," my dad asks.

"Yeah dad," I said laughing. Im a mother, Im responsible for a child. My child. Our child. Im so estatic, we finally started a family. "Dad can I leave now, this hospital food is horrible, "I say picking at the food.

"No 2 more days," I popped my back and rolled my eyes.

"Dont worry I'll be here with you," Tyler said smiling at me. I smiled at him and got comfortable.

"EH!," I heard her screach. "Eh, eh," she does again. My mother hands me to her and I rock her back and forth. She stops and dozes off to sleep. I smile and the nurse takes her to the nursey.

"Babe want to go get me Mcdonald's," I smiled at him.

"No you are to get rid of all your baby fat," my mother interudes.

"Ugh, back to running," I say to Tyler.

"WHERE IS SHE!," I heard a male voice. We all look out of the room and Marlon is causing a scene.  My father runs out there and calms him down and walks hi mto the room. "Rosalyn," Marlon says drunk.

"Uh hey whats wrong with you?," I ask him.

"Nothing Im still little ole Marlon," he says. "Is that the lucky guy?," he says looking at Tyler.

"Yes," I reply.

"Oh you guys are cute together," he stumbles back and knocks the plants over. 

"Marlon look at me are you drunk?," I ask him.

"No why would you think that," he slurs his words. "Hey dont I know you," he says to Tyler.  

"No,"
