I sped down the highway wiping the tears that formed in my eyes and I parked in the garage. I ran into the hospital and Ms. Leslie, Nathalie, and Zeke were in the waiting room. Zeke was comforting his mom and sister and Mr. Davis came in. I find it more appropriate to call me Mr. Davis instead of Xayvion because it just brings back bad memories.
"Mr. Davis now can you tell me what happened and what's going on", I asked before he sat down. We stepped into the hallway so he could tell me what was going on.
"You have to stay strong for my grand babies when I tell you okay"
"Okay just tell me"
"He was making a drop and it was a set up. He went alone and he got shot 20 times. He didn't go out without a fight though he killed about 16 people but I was calling him and when he didn't answer I went to my tracker I keep on all of y'all and I found him laid out. He had two bullets real close to his heart and his spine so he's in surgery now to get them removed but there's a large possibility he's not going to make it Debbie", I nearly fell to the ground but he caught me before I did. I hugged him and cried into his chest. I screamed, yelled, cried, fought everything. I'm pregnant with child number 3 what am I supposed to do without him? I can't make it on this journey without my husband. We've been through to much.
"Debbie come here", I walked inside and sat next to Ms. Leslie.
"Yes *sniff sniff ma'am"
"Listen 'Xavier told me *sniff in case this happened and he was on his death bed *sniff..."
"No he's not going to die Ms. Leslie. He can't die I'm not ready. We aren't ready, he has so much to still live for. Ms. Leslie no", I cried and she pulled me into a right hug.
"Debbie it's not looking good at all. There is no way he is going to survive 20 plus shots to his body and then they're all close to the most important parts of his body. His heart, lungs, spine...I know you don't want to but you have to let him go", I couldn't believe Zeke was saying that about his brother like that. I started shaking and walked outside the hospital and sat on the bench. I had to call Don.
PHONE CALL
Me: "Don"
Don: "Girl do you know it's 5 in the morning here", he sounded like he just woke up.
Me: "You need to get home right now 'Xavier is in the hospital and they saying there's a large possibility he's not going to make it"
Don: "all be there in a few hours", I could here him getting up and rushing to leave.
Me: "See you when you get here"
END OF PHONE CALL
I hung up the phone and started crying again. I texted everybody the news and I called a mandatory meeting at the trap. If my husband die so is EVERYBODY!! in that trap house. I know everybody's move before they make it and the people that works directly under 'Xavier should know what he was going to do. I went back inside and then more of the family started coming. I couldn't deal with all the crying and tears that makes me think he's going to die but he can't die I refuse to believe he's going to die on me.
"Ms. Leslie are you okay?", I asked trying to comfort her.
"No I'm not. My son is about to die and I have to deal with it. When you're child's life is on the line like this then talk to me. Nobody knows how I'm feeling so just let me be right now", I understand where she's coming from but I've never seen her in a negative state like this and I'm not digging how she's talking to me. I had to remember who she was cause Double D was about to come out.
"Ms. Leslie I do know how you feel. Neither one of my pregnancys went well. I was on my death and so was my newborn premature child who didn't even make it to do anything in life Except breathe not even cry just breathe. So I know what it's like, I was fighting for our life so I do know what it's like to have my child's life on the line. And my kids life is in danger every second of every minute of every hour because of me and 'Xavier. I understand where you're coming from believe me I do and I'm going to miss him 10 times worst than anybody especially with another baby on the way", her head came up from her hands real fast.
"You're pr-pregnant right now?"
"Yes ma'am. And I refuse to think he's going to die"
"Baby I've been in this situation with one of my brothers. The exact same thing happened to him and I had the same mentality that you did. But you know what happened? 2 weeks later I was dressed in all black saying my last goodbyes to his face before he was put into his grave. I'm happy I have another grandchild on the way but I'm sad because they won't be able to meet their biological father"
"I shook my head and stood up before I said anything I regretted. I went to the doctor to see how he's doing since he just got out of surgery"
"Hey Doc can you just tell me how was the surgery and if he's going to make it", I said pulling him to the side.
"There are still a couple of bullets that we can't get out right now but we will get later when and if he makes it through then there's a possibility he's going to be crippled for a few months. But there's a higher chance you will be making funeral arrangements Mrs. Davis I'm sorry"
