-LAUREN'S POV
When I woke up the next morning I didn't feel like going to school so I'm just going to call Uncle 'Xavier and see if I can watch the boys. After my parents left Pj stayed at the house and spent the night but he slept downstairs in the living room.
Phone Call
Me: "Uncle 'Xavier can I take the boys today?"
'Xavier: "Don't you have to go to school?"
Me: "It's the second day of school we not even doing anything today"
'Xavier: "What Zeke and Renee say?"
Me: "I don't know they went out of town so I'm just at the house"
'Xavier: "Alright I'll be there in 30 minutes to drop them off"
Me: "Okay. Bye"
'Xavier: "Bye"
END OF PHONE CALL
Pj: "Who was that?", he asked coming in my room sitting on the bed.
Me: "Unlce 'Xavier, I asked him if he could bring the boys over"
Pj: "Oh, I'm about to go to the house right fast and I'll be back in a few minutes since we ain't going to school"
Me: "Alright, love you babe"
Pj: "Love you too", he gave me a kiss on my cheek and left.
I walked him out to lock the door and I got in the shower. I brushed my teeth and did my hygiene when I heard the front door open.
Uncle 'Xavier: "Lauren!!", he yelled from downstairs.
Me: "I'm coming", I ran downstairs and when Jaidyn saw me he ran into my arms. "Hey shinka booty", I said picking him up and hugging him.
Uncle 'Xavier: "Alright I'll be back in a few hours but if you get tired of them call me and if I don't answer call yo glam mom"
Me: "Will do, and what about Jabari? Is he sick, need to be changed, fed anything?"
Uncle 'Xavier: "No he's just sleepy and he should be out in a little while, I just fed him"
Me: "Okay and do you have his car seat and stroller?"
Uncle 'Xavier: "Oh it's in the car but hold on I'll get it out for you", he handed me Jabari in his carrier and he is just the most beautiful baby boy. "Here you go and where are you planning on going with this?"
Me: "I think I'm going to go take them to the park or something", I said lying through my teeth.
Uncle 'Xavier: "Aight well I'm out, love you", he gave me a hug, hugged and kissed Jaidyn and Jabari then left.
I put on some cartoons for Jaidyn while I rocked Jabari to sleep and waited for Pj to come back. As soon as Jabari fell asleep Pj came in the house.
Pj: "Lil thug, what up man", he said holding his hand out for him to clap his hand.
Jaidyn: "'Sup"
This lil boy is to smart to be so little. I made Jabari a pallet on the couch and laid him down on the other couch while I walked over to Pj and cuddled up on the couch with him.
Pj: "So what you have planned for today cause I know you didn't just want them over here"
Me: "What? I couldn't just invite my little cousins over to play and watch them", I said in a high pitched voice.
Pj: "I know you to well to think that's all you wanted to do so what you have planned?"
Me: "I wanted to take the boys to the hospital to see their mom"
Pj: "That''s legit well we can go right now if you want to"
Me: "Cool let's go". "Jaidyn you wanna see your mom?", I asked picking him up.
Jaidyn: "Mama!!!!", he started jumping up and down clapping and he just got real happy, I guess he missed her as much as we did.
Me: "Yay let's go"
I held Jaidyn's hand and Pj got Jabari as we walked out to the car. We strapped them in and made our way to the hospital. When we were getting out I got out the boys stroller since it was double seated so we could put both of the boys in there. We walked into the room and Debbie was still laying down with her eyes closed. I picked up Jaidyn and sat on the bed, when I put him down he touched Aunt Debbie and she started moving and then her eyes opened.
Me: "Aunt Debbie!!", I screamed when she looked at me.
Aunt Debbie: "Hey baby where is everybody?", she asked still sort of sleep.
Jaidyn: "Mama, mama, mama, mama", he said hugging her.
Aunt Debbie: "Hey man how's my baby?"
Pj: "Hey Debbie", he said hugging her pushing the stroller with the sleeping Jabari in it.
Aunt Debbie: "Hey you guys, let me hold my baby and why is he in a stroller? What's today?"
Me: "It's September 11th"
Aunt Debbie: "Wait it was just August. I've been in here for a month?", she said getting Jabari.
Me: "Yup, it was crazy. So after you gave birth they rushed you to ICU and everything and the whole family was in the waiting room waiting for some news when the doctor came out and said Debby Davis passed. All I thought about was Monica ~ Until It's Gone. Uncle 'Xavier looked just like the guy from the video crying when they found out she died, he was holding and hugging Jaidyn and everything. He was crying and I could tell he felt bad. And I was like Monica singing the song in front of him making him feel worst and everything. It was crazy but I think when you see him you should sing that to him unless you go back to him."
Aunt Debbie: "Ha I've learned my lesson it may have took me a while but I have, Me and 'Xavier are not getting back together and y'all thought the doctor met me or did he get me mixed up with somebody else"
Me: "We thought he met was talking about Debbie spelled with a I-E but he met Debby with a Y"
Aunt Debbie: "So the whole family think I'm dead"
Me: "Yeah but after school yesterday something kept on telling me to come to the hospital so me and Pj came and found out you were still alive"
Aunt Debbie: "I'm happy you did come. My babies mommy miss y'all so much", "I just can't believe I missed a month of another one of my child's life and it's 'Xavier's fault once again".
Pj: "Oh snap hold on I gotta take this", he said answering his phone stepping out in the hallway.
Aunt Debbie: "So how are things with you two?", she asked after he left out the door.
Me: "They couldn't be any better. He's amazing, if we break up I don't know what I would do"
Aunt Debbie: "That's good. So what has everybody been up to and how's everybody holding up?"
Me: "Well I haven't really heard from your mom or your side of the family or really anybody. It seem like after everybody found out you past everybody just went there separate ways"
Aunt Debbie: "Really? That's crazy, so I'm like the glue that kept everybody together"
Me: "Pretty much..."
Pj: "Man I do not have good news", he said coming back in the room.
Aunt Debbie: "What?"
Pj: "I just got off the phone with my dad and he said 'Xavier got some h*e pregnant so he was going to the fertility clinic or something like that with him"
Aunt Debbie: "Wow, I guess some things just don't change"
Me: "You okay Aunt Debbie?"
Aunt Debbie: "Yeah I'm fine, I have my boys right here, I have you guys and that's all I need", she said hugging us.
We stayed there and talked for a while until the doctors came in running tests and doing whatever they do. I felt 100% better now that I know Debbie's back. Whooo!! my aunt is back and I know some things are going to be changed with my Uncle 'Xavier acting a fool like the way he is.
Pj: "Let's go eat I'm starving"
Me: "Okay I can cook something up when we get to the house"
Pj: "Alright"
We went to the house and I warmed up some chili dogs so we could eat something fast and easy.
DEBBIE'S POV
I'm baaack!! I know you didn't think I was leaving that easily. When I woke up I felt like I just woke up from a nap, I can't believe I was in a coma for a month. Well now I know I'm done having kids if this is going to keep happening or maybe I'm just done with 'Xavier. Then he got another female pregnant I mean come on they thought I was dead and it's only been a month. I don't even know what to do anymore because my patience is gone, my life was almost gone again and I'm done.
~2 Days Later
Dr. Kree: "Hello Debbie how you feeling today?"
Me: "I'm feeling good, a lots better than I have"
Dr. Kree: "I'm happy to hear that. Well you have a perfect bill of health and you can leave today. Do you have someone to pick you up?"
Me: "Yeah I'm just going to call a cab to see if they can take me home"
Dr. Kree: "Okay, and call me when you make it home safely", he said giving me his number.
Me: "Okay I will", I gave him a hug and thanked him for everything he did for me while I was here. He called me a taxi and I got the driver to take me home which took forever since it was out in the middle of nowhere. "Thank you sir umm hold on just a second I have to go in the house and get your money"
Cab driver: "It's on me Ms you look like you've gone through enough"
Me: "Thank-you so much"
I walked in the house and it looked just like how I left. It was clean but no one was here. I was happy to because right now all I wanted was a nice hot bath. After I got out the tub I walked in my closet and got my pajamas out to put on and I walked outside and sat by the pool texting Dr. Kree and Lauren.
DR. KREE & I'S CONVO
ME: "HEY DR. KREE I MADE IT HOME"
DR. KREE: "OKAY GOOD WELL I HAVE TO GET BACK TO WORK SO I'LL TEXT YOU LATER"
ME: "ALRIGHT"
END OF CONVO
LAUREN & I'S CONVO
ME: "Hey girl I just made it home come ova"
Lauren: "On my way"
END OF CONVO
I got up and walked to the kitchen to get something to drink when I heard somebody pull up. I know Lauren is not here that fast so I looked out the window and saw 'Xavier, the boys, and some female getting out the car. So he had the nerve to bring a tramp to my house but you know what a new day, feels like a new life, so a new me. I walked upstairs and waited for them to come in.
'Xavier: "Okay so I'm going to put Jabari in the bed while you go start cooking"
Tramp: "I don't cook though"
'Xavier: "I didn't ask you I'm telling you. Do you know how to cook?"
Tramp: "Duh I know how to..."
'Xavier: "Then go, get out my face"
Tramp: "You gone stop talking to me like that"
'Xavier: "You ain't nothing but a h*e and I don't even think you carrying my baby or if even you carrying a baby. You ain't nothing to me and you and nobody can take my wife's place and you in her house so I'm gone talk to you how I want to"
I'm not gone lie that made me feel better inside but it doesn't even matter I'm not here for that. I heard enough so I walked downstairs and when 'Xavier looked up he looked like he seen a ghost.
Jaidyn: "Mama", he running in my arms.
Me: "Hey man"
'Xavier: "Debbie! I can't believe your here right now"
Me: "Yeah I bet", I said real dry. "Umm you can leave, and whatever y'all got going on is between y'all bye bye now", I said talking to the tramp, I still don't know her name.
She walked out the house and walked down the driveway I think she must've forgotten she have a long way to go. I got my baby Jabari and I got Jaidyn and took them upstairs to Jabari's nursery we put together while I was pregnant. I put Jabari in his crib and I sat in the rocking chair my mom used to rock me in and rocked Jaidyn to sleep singing K-Michelle's A Mother's Prayer so both of them would fall asleep.
Oohhh, Oohhh, Oohh
[Hook:]
Last night I prayed on a fallen star that you never have a broken heart
Though the world is cold, just remember who you are
And I pray that you never have a rainy day
And no matter what people say
Even when it hurts it'll be OK
[Verse 1:]
Tomorrow brings new promise so don't worry 'bout today
The first time I saw you I knew my life had changed
I would've been dead & gone but I found purpose when I brought you home
And even though I'm not there to tuck you in everyday
I'm not far away
This is what a mother prays...
[Hook:]
Last night I prayed on a fallen star that you never have a broken heart
Though the world is cold, please remember who you are
And I pray that you never have a rainy day
And no matter what the people say
In your darkest hours I'll help guide your way
[Verse 2:]
Those dreams you have I want you to chase 'em (chase 'em)
These bond we got, let nobody break it (break it)
And when I'm on the road & I can't see your face
This music will never take your place
I love you J (Love My J)
Hook:]
And that's why Last night I prayed on a fallen star that you never have a broken heart
Though the world is cold, please remember who you are
And I pray that you never have a rainy day
And no matter what the people say
Even when it hurts it'll be OK
And I pray that you never have a rainy day
And no matter what the people say
In your darkest hours I'll help guide your way
This is what a Mother Prays...
Your daddy loves you & I love you too
Sorry we couldn't work it out
We gon' do what's best for you
I pray ohhh I pray
I Love You
This is what a Mother Prays
Both of my baby's were knocked out and I went and put Jaidyn in his room. I felt better being home with my sons. I tucked Jaidyn in, closed the door and went downstairs.
'Xavier: "Debbie can we talk please?
Me"About you moving out? Of course we can"
'Xavier: "I'm serious"
Me: "I am to. You hurt me to the core. Physically, emotionally, everything. I know we've been on this roller coaster for a long time going through ever turn, loop, everything, but I'm getting off. I'm done putting my life in danger with you, I mean how long do you think I'm supposed to be with you on this ride. When we got married and said through thick and thin I met that but I've gone through more than I can handle", I said putting my hands in the air. "You cheated on Me! Not any other random female you met on the street but Me. Yo ride or die since 4th grade, the mother of your 2 kids and could've been more kids, your best friend, your Wife. The one you spent possibly millions of dollars on. There are things we've been through that I wouldn't have went through with anybody else but that's over. I don't know what you were thinking or even if you were thinking but I want you to know that you will never ever find anybody like me, do things like me, love you the way I loved you, let you hit any time you want even after I said no but I guess you found somebody better. The only reason you're still in my life is because of our kids. And I'm done yelling and screaming and fighting for us to be together when now it's clear to me that you don't want to be with me so I'm cool, calm, and collected. And yes after all these years is gone...thrown away for a stupid choice, well it was to me, it wasn't for you because you benefited from it right. You cheated on me. making me set her on fire, and then you got another female pregnant well possibly. Not the best news to get after slipping into a coma but hey that's my life and I hope you have a good rest of yours", I said as true and as calm as I could. I meant it when I said I'm done fighting. I've been fighting all my life but you get tired of trying to hold something together with someone when you're the only one trying to keep it together.
