Sorry for the wait 😜😊😘

Omniscient

Chris sat at Rayah's bedside as she stared at the blank TV.

"Baby...", he started hoping to finally get a response out of her.

She still said nothing.

The doctor walked in with his clipboard.

"Any words?", the doctor asked Chris.

"Nothing.", Chris said with sorrow.

"We did everything we could Ms. Parker. There was no way we could save him.", the doctor explained.

She continued to stare at the TV.

"We wish you well, and hopefully you can try again....for another child. We would be more than happy to schedule you an appointment to start the process.", the doctor spoke again.

Za'Rayah exhaled loudly from her nose. Still silent.

"We'll check back in the morning. My condolences.", the doctor said before leaving the room.

"We can try again, Rayah. I don't mind.", Chris said in an innocent voice. He didn't want to upset her.

"No...I wanted my baby.", she mumbled. "She took that away from me."

"Maybe you weren't meant to have a baby at the time. God works in mysterious ways.", Chris explained.

She didn't speak.

"I know it's hard. It was my baby too-"

"Hell nah!", she yelled at him. "You didn't even know I was pregnant at first! You didn't even b-build a bond....", she said as her voice cracked.

"I'm here for you though. That's all that matters. ", he said grabbing her hand again.

"Its not our time....", Za'Rayah said through sniffles.

"What? Whatchu' talking about?", he asked.

"I promised myself if anything else happens between us, it quits. Us quits. We don't belong together.", she explained.

"Yes we do. We're just going through a lot right now.", he spoke rubbing her arms.

"No, Chris. That's the point. We never get a break. Ever. That's a sign. We don't belong with each other.", she stressed.

"Nah....I'm not taking that....I cant. You can't to this.", Chris said getting on his knees in front of his bed.

"I know I don't appreciate you but I promise I'll treat you better.", he said as tears filled his eyes.

Just then Za'Rayah's eyes fluttered and they closed.

"Baby?", Chris called.
