Revenge (Urban)

Chapter 30

Rodney POV

"In regards to Loriana and the baby, I'm sorry to tell you, but she lost the baby due to the gun shot wound. We have already removed the fetus and Loriana is doing well. We were also able to successfully remove with bullet and she didn't loose much blood."

I can't believe this shit. I never thought that I would loose a child, but I have. It doesn't matter if the baby was born yet or not, that was still my child. I thank God that he saved Loriana for me, but I'm heartbroken.

"Can we go see them?" Tyrese asked. I didn't make eye contact with anyone as I caught some looking at me, probably waiting for a reaction.

"Yes you can." The Doctor said. He gave us the room numbers and everyone walked through the double doors.

"Y'all go see Chris and we'll go see Loriana." Mario said.

Mario, Jasmine, and I walked towards Loriana's room. When we got to the room, Mario wasted no time opening the door and walking in. I stood at the door for a second, preparing myself to see Loriana. I hate that she's even in this situation.

"My baby!" Jasmine ran over towards Lori's bed. "I'm so sorry that this happened to you." She cried.

I walked further into the room and shoved my hands into my pocket. I looked at Lori then quickly looked back down.

"I'm fine mom." Lori said with a dry voice.

"Princess, I'm sorry this happened to you. It's breaking my heart for real." Mario said, shaking his head. "I'm suppose to be your dad and protect you and I wasn't able to in this situation. I'm sorry." Mario said. I've never seen him be so emotional.

"Dad, its fine. I know that if you could, you would have been right there, ready to fight whoever shot us. How's Chris? Is he ok?" She asked.

"He's doing fine. We thank God." Jasmine told her. Lori nodded before looking over at me. Hey eyes let me know that she was just as sad as me.

"Jas, let's go check on Chris." Mario said. Jasmine soon got the hint then got up from her seat.

They both left the room, leaving me and Lori alone. I walked over to her bed side and I sat in the chair. I rested my elbows on my knees and held my head down in the palms of my hands.

"I'm sorry Rodney." Lori mumbled.

"Why you sorry baybeh? You did nothing wrong. I don't blame you for anything. I'm thankful that you're alive and well." I told her. I looked over at her then grabbed her hand.

"It's just so fucked up." She let a tear fall from her eyes. "Why us? Why our baby?" She sobbed.

"I feel where you're coming from." I nodded. I stood up and kissed her hand. "I'm tired of loosing people I love in my life. I don't know what I'm doing wrong in my life that makes all this shit happen. I always end up loosing or hurting the ones I love and that's why I don't love easy. I stay away because I don't want to ruin people. Then again, shit like this reminds me that I need to count my blessings."

"I don't think that's true Rodney. You haven't lost me. You've hurt me, yeah, but you haven't lost me. Shit, it took me to damn long to break through your triple layer brick wall. You can't loose me." She joked. Only her would joke at a moment like this.

"I just almost lost you. I just lost my child. I can't loose anybody else. I can't loose you Lori, and us not being together means I don't have you, and I have to have you. I can't go through this shit alone and I need you. I want to be there for you, love you, cherish you, laugh with you, cry some gangsta tears with you, build with you, all that." I admitted to her. Lord knows I need this girl back in my life.
