A sharp pain traveled from Telay's abdominal area through her chest, and up to her arms. She opened her mouth to scream but only muffled sounds came out. The smell of death surrounded her and she could feel flies flying around her. The room was cold and damp, like she was in the middle of a thick fog. When she opened her eyes she saw a white light. "Am I dying?" she wondered as she tried to identify the cause of the lightheadedness and fatigue she was experiencing. Hoping nothing was wrong with her baby she attempted to reach down and grab a hold of her protruding belly. "OOOWWW!" she tried to scream at the pain she felt when she tried to move. Once again, her screams came out as muffled groans. There was something in her mouth. She felt herself going in and out of consciousness, but she could not move her arms because they were stuck. When she kicked her feet, she felt no ground. Something was wrong. Her natural instinct assured her that she was not dreaming, she was in danger.

Blurry images of Taste flashed before her eyes. She could tell that she was still in the same situation she had been in before she passed out. "Taste," she tried to call out, not sure if she was really seeing him or not. For minutes, she drifted in and out of consciousness, then everything appeared very clear to her. She was in the basement, hanging by her arms, her mouth was gagged, and she had been drugged. Taste was standing in front of her and he was not there to help her. He was there to make things worse. Telay instantly began to panic, trying to shake herself loose from the rope that was tied around her hands. She screamed as loud as she could but no one could hear her.

"I was waiting on you to wake up. I told these niggas to give you enough to knock you out. Their dumb asses almost killed you. Man, I don't know what I would do if you would have died," he said remorsefully.

Telay tried screaming again. She did not understand what was wrong with him or what he planned on doing but she knew what he was capable of doing.

"Stop screaming Telay. That ain't helping us right now. Every relationship has problems but our relationship will never end over any problem. No matter how big! We will just have to work through our problems, until death do us part, sweetheart," he said proudly. "I'm gone take this off your mouth. If you scream, I'm gone put it back on." He warned her as he slowly removed the rag from her mouth.

She welcomed the fowl smelling air, panting and coughing. Taste placed a water bottle in her mouth for her to drink. "Taste? Baby, what is wrong? Why are you doing this to me?" she questioned as soon as he removed the water from her mouth.

He placed his hand on Telay's stomach before answering her. "I love you Telay and I just want us to be happy. I have the type of love for you that nothing in this whole world can stop it. No matter what we go through, we will always come out on top. Together! I know that's not my baby though. My family don't make girls. It ain't happened before and it never will. Every bitch in my family is there by marriage, so I know that little bitch in there belongs to someone else."

"Taste? I have not been with another man since I have been with you. I swear. You'll see when the baby comes out. We will get a paternity test done."

"When the baby comes out? You think I'm 'bout to let you have a baby that I know ain't mine?"

"Taste, baby, listen to me. This is your baby! This is our child. I would not lie to you about something so big. I love you."

"You a fucking lie, I know that ain't my baby."

"Where is Pepsi?"

"Why? What that bitch gone do? You want to know the truth? She left! One night in the Jacuzzi with me drove her crazy. Your friend ain't who you think she is."

"You fucked Pepsi?" Telay cried in disbelief. "Why would you do that to me?"

"The same reason you tryna pin another nigga's baby on me. You try that shit again and you and him both gonna be dead. Don't think I ain't going to find out who he is." He covered Telay's mouth before she could say anything else. "My peoples going to take care of this mistake. Don't make it again. I love you. I'll see you when you done." He kissed her forehead. "Aye?" Taste called out.

Telay watched four different men come to his call. One walked up to her with a needle that he stuck into her arm. She instantly felt dizzy and lightheaded again. The room started to spin. It felt as if she were floating on air. Bad air. The man untied her from the ceiling and handed her to another man who carried her up a long hallway and into another room. He placed her on a cold steel table. The man who had given her the shot came in the room with several different knifes and surgical instruments. Telay tried to fight them but she could not move. She could not even scream, but she could feel everything.

"We have orders not to leave a scratch on her, so let's keep that in mind," the man who gave her the shot told the other man. Two of the men walked up to her. They each grabbed one of her legs, forcing them as far apart as they would go. Then they held them up to give the other man full access to her private area. "Damn, this lil' pussy got this nigga going nuts," the man joked as he sat in between her legs. "Okay Bub, push on that stomach as hard as you can. Let's get this little fucker out of there," he instructed another man.

As the man started pushing on her stomach, the other man stuck what looked like a huge metal chop stick into her cervix to burst her placenta. She felt the sharp tip of the stick stabbing at her insides before blood and the fluid from her placenta came gushing out. She closed her eyes and tried to scream, but her body was too weak. She could not do anything but feel.

"Push harder!" the man with the stick insisted. The man who was pushing her stomach began to pounce his weight up and down on her stomach like he was trying to perform CPR on an elephant. Pains shot through every part of her body as the sick men slowly took the life of her child. "We are almost done here." One of the men told her as if it made any difference. He grabbed a small metal tube. When he twisted the bottom of the tube a long skinny knife came out the top of it. He twisted the knife back inside the tube and stuck it inside her before twisting the knife back out. Telay finally felt herself losing consciousness again when the man repeatedly swung the small knife around inside of her, cutting her baby into pieces. She looked into all their faces as she began to faint. They were faces she would never forget.
