Tuesdai

Flashback..

"Mommy watch me slide!" 

"Quan be careful baby." I yelled. Of course he didn't listen to me. He definitely got his listening skills from his father. I watched him go up and down the slide until he tired out and wanted me to help him swing. 

.

"Mommy I love you." I smiled at my baby. Ice cream all over his face and a smile attached to his lips. I wiped the the sticky ice cream off and kissed his face until he pushed me away. "Mommy, I big boy." He pushed. "Okay, okay big boy. Let's go, daddy should be home now." He smiled and jumped off the bench almost breaking his neck. I shook my head and held out my hand for him to take. 

"Can I play basketball with daddy when we get home?" I shook my head. "Nope, you gotta eat, take a bath and then bed. You have school in the morning." He pouted, "but mommy! " "No buts Quanell. Now let me buckle you up so we can go." He crossed his arms letting me buckle up the booster seat . I closed the door and walked over to my side, getting in and buckling up as well.

.

"Baby." 

I turned around to see Rah. He was wearing basketball shorts and socks, holding Quan who was now rubbing his eyes, trying to fight his sleep. I put the flat iron down, knowing I wouldn't be able to finish my hair anytime soon. 

"Yea."

"He wanted you to put him to bed." I sighed and grabbed Quan's little body." Rah kissed the top of his head and walked into our room. I held Quan in my arms as I rocked him to sleep, singing any song that came to mind. I was no singer, but I could sing if need be. 

"Night baby." I whispered before kissing his cheek. He hugged me from around my neck and kissed my lips. "Night mommy." I smiled and laid him down, turned on his night light and cracked the door. 

I walked back into my room, finishing my hair and wrapping it up for the night. "Baby." "Yeah Tues." I kissed his lips. "Night." He pecked my lips. "Love you." "Love you too papi." He chuckled and turned off the lights.

I woke up as the sun started shining. I stretched my limbs and got out of my comfy king sized bed. I walked to the bathroom to do my morning routine.  Wrapping my robe over my exposed body, I  walked to Quan's room. I opened the door wide, and opened his curtains letting the sunlight shine. I kissed his cheeks knowing this would wake him up, but it didn't. "Come on baby, time for school." I cooed in his ear as I picked his little frame up. No movement. I started getting worried, this wasn't like him. At all. I shook his body, it was as if he was dead. I checked his pulse, and he had none. I started panicking, this couldn't be. "Quanell this isn't funny! Wake up now!" I yelled slightly shaking him. "Please wake up for mommy, please!" I cried. 

"Rahmell!" I sobbed out! "Rahmell come here now!"  He rushed into the room, sleep still in his eyes, as I held our son in my arms and cried. "Tues, what's wrong?" "He's not breathing! He's not breathing Rahmell." I held onto Quan's body tighter. "Shit, give him to me now and go call the police." I reluctantly handed him over to Rahmell, who now placed him on the floor and gave him CPR as I called 911. 

After I hung up, I could see Rahmell crying. "Please, don't do this man. Please." He cried as he still gave him CPR and checked his pulse. I covered my mouth knowing it was too late. "Baby. do something! He's dying!" I yelled. "He's dead Tues! He's dead!" He sobbed. I fell to my knees crawling to my son. I tried CPR again, until Rah pulled me away from his dead body. "Tuesdai! Listen to me! He's dead! Alright, he's dead." He cried. I punched his chest, trying to get out of his grasp.

"NO! No! He's not dead! No Rah! He can't be. Your evil! You think he's dead! Let me go!" I yelled, as tears rolled down my face. He held my tighter as I grabbed Quan. We cried together until the ambulance burst through our door. Giving him CPR, no pulse, they said. No pulse was all I heard. I could no longer bear with myself. 

My son was dead. My son was dead. My.Son. Was. Dead.

Flashback over..

"Ahh!" I screamed as I broke down crying. I hadn't had that dream in three years and I couldn't believe it. I felt as if i was still there, at that moment in time. It felt all too real. "Tues. Why you crying baby? What happened." Rahmell sat up, cradling me as I  cried in his arms. "I saw it Rah. I saw it all over again." I said in between sobs. "What are you talking about babe?" "I saw him dying again." He sighed. "Shh baby, I'm so sorry." "It was so real. I saw everything that happened that day, every last thing." I cried. He kissed the top of my head. "Why did he have to go? Why'd God take my baby away from me Rah?"

"I went to Church every Sunday, I prayed every night. I tried not to sin as much as possible and that's what happened! He took the only thing I ever loved away from me! Why? Why would he do that to me? Why?" I cried harder. "Baby, God does things to make us stronger in the long run. Everything happens for a reason. I know it was hard, I went though it too, but look where we're at. We need each other and he made that possible. I know it's hard, but we can make another baby. We can start over Tuesdai. I just can't lose you like I lost our son. I don't think I  could that shit all over again. I need you." 

"I need you more than you'll ever know Rahmell."

"I'm not goin' nowhere Tues. Just tell me what you want me to do baby."

"Hold me please." I sniffled.

I don't know about ya'll, but this almost made a thugg cry! Yass lawwd! lol. Tell me what you thought.
