.....the nurses finally focused on John, laid out on the floor. After all , he was sposed to cut the umbilical cord. They let Cierra cut it instead.

Rhonda cried, embracing the beauty of her baby girl . And mostly from the pain she had just endured.

"Can I hold her??" Cierra asked .
Handing her the baby , Rhonda replied "Sure!"

The nurses finally got John off the floor after it was all over.
Rhonda looked up at him and smiled "She's here!!"

"I missed it !"
"Wait a minute? Where's Bennie?" Rhonda asked, looking at Cierra and john.

"We called him but , no answer. We didn't have time to go over ."

"Dad, on your way home, could you stop by there??"

"Ok baby!"

"Ohh, and Mom came out of her coma !"

Everybody in the room got quiet.
"What?" John asked.

Since Rhonda has been on MEDS, john thought she was talking crazy .

John ran out of the room towards Shawny's room.

Crystal stood there confused.

Cierra looked at Rhonda. Rhonda looked at crystal. She left the room to follow John.

Rhonda picked up the phone to call Bennie.
"Hello?"
"Yea?"
"Where are you? I'm in the hospital."
"I'm at home. Is there something wrong?"
"No, I had the baby. She's right here!"

"Really?? I'm on my way!!"

      -20 minutes later-

Bennie walked through the door with Casey.

"What the fuck is she doin here?"
Cierra charged towards Casey but Bennie jumped in the way.

"Look, I'm here to see my daughter! I don't have time to fight."

Rhonda gave Cierra that (don't do it ) look.
"BITCH you can leave, the baby ain't yours . GOODBYE!" Cierra told Casey, pointing towards the door.

"So this is why you couldn't answer your phone ? You all booed up with the same bitch that gave you an STD??"

"I haven't talked to you in months Rhonda! What did you expect me to do?"
"I didn't expect you to go back to the nasty bitch!"

"Can I hold my baby? Damn!!"

"If you gotta attitude you can get the hell out !" Cierra said.

"Cierra shut the fuck up! I'm tired of you."

"You might as well get used to me because I'm gonna be here forever."

"Oh really?? Why don't you tell Rhonda you tried to talk to me ? "

"You believe that shit if you want ." Cierra replied, lookin at Rhonda.

Rhonda remained quiet.
"Hellooo?? Don't tell me you believe that??"

Bennie continued to hold the baby smirking .

      -Shawny's room-

John walked in, to find Shawny sitting up in the bed. Rosco went to the snack machine down the hallway .

"Shawny??"

"John?"

"How are you? "
"I'm doin fine! Just trying to figure out why I'm in here."

John looked at her and scratched his head. "You don't know why you're in here ??"

Obviously Rosco hadn't told her what happened to her.

"Rosco ex girlfriend shot you in the stomach ."

"What? Rosco has an ex girlfriend?? Shawny replied, surprisingly .

John could tell something wasn't right.

"Are you ok Shawny?" John walked towards her .

"I am now." She replied.

Both, now face to face, John kissed Shawny .

Suddenly, Rosco walked in "What the fuck y'all doin??"
