Bad boys baby

Just leave then

Sitting in the ER is not how I wanted to spend my night. I was holding a towel to my head to apply pressure to my gash from Snake. I didn't know what kind of story I was gonna come up with because their gonna
wanna know how this happened but I'm a good bullshit artist I just need a minute to think of something believable.

"Jake are you alright?" Rico asked

"I'm fine bro" I said brushing him
Off

We waited in that crowded waiting room with people that had all kinds of problems weird ones normal ones and just some ugly shit. The lady finally called us back and told me that I needed stitches like i didn't already know that. I didn't like needles but I wasn't no bitch nigga.

"Dam bro your sweatin like a pig" Rico said feeling my head "do you have a fever?"

"Nah bro I'm fine it's the thing that only you know about because of my mom" I said rubbing the sweat off my neck

The nurse came in with the tray of needles, stitches, gauze and tape. I was so nervous bro needles weren't my thing because my birth mom was a heroine addict and liked to stick her baby with needles and get him high.

"Were going to put this numbing shot in their and sadly this one hurts from experience" She said counting before she stuck it in and it stung and went numb at the same time.

She started giving me stitches in my head and I'll tell you that hurts so much. It took her about 5 minutes to give me 6 stitches in my head and then she left.

"Dam bro that's gonna leave a scar" rico said

"Yeah wouldn't be my first one"

When I went to discharge myself they wanted to know the story of what happened and I wasn't 18 so they wanted my parents to come down. I was really going to have to think of a story now because my aunt was gonna come here and pick me up and she's gonna wanna know what happened to my head.

"Jake what happened" My aunt said looking at my head

"I fell and hit my head no big deal aunty Im a tough guy I'll be fine" I chuckled

By the time I actually got home the whole house was quiet. Grace was probably long asleep because it was after midnight and she always falls asleep early and especially now since she's pregnant. My aunt went to bed once we got home and it was just Rico and I standing in the dark living room looking at each other.

"Goodnight bro" Rico said walking upstairs

"Night bro" I said heading towards my room

I cracked the door open slowly so I wouldn't wake Grace. She was fast asleep on my bed with the heater on in the corner because Chicago nights were freezing.

I stripped myself of my shirt and sat down on my bed just looking at how peaceful grace looked. I've been so overwhelmed with a bunch of different feelings from this that I don't even know what to do. We're gonna have a human being to take care of in 8 months and I'm gonna be a father. I don't know how to be a father my parents were terrible parents they didn't take care of me like they were supposed too. I was afraid to be a parent what if I wasn't a good dad? Their was just so many things I dont know about being a parent. I was beyond scared.
