. . . .

  Days later Zonnique remained in the hospital bed, in a deep coma. She had overdosed on morphine pills which caused her body to go in complete shutdown. She's alive but the baby isn't doing so well. The doctors informed Chris that the baby may or may not make it. Zonnique has put her child's and her own life in danger. Currently she's in critical care unable to respond to anything but she's breathing. Right next to her side was Chris holding her hand trying not to cry. He was beyond shocked about Nique trying to commit suicide. He didn't know why. Chris tried his hardest to be the best boyfriend but sometimes it isnt enough. Zonnique was slowly becoming depressed and unable to control her actions.

"Has she moved yet?" Bahja asked from the reclining chair.

He shook his head no before sighing.

"I miss her already..." Cat said sadly.

"Right" everyone replied in agreement. 

    The people there to see Nique were Chris of course, Bahja, Cat, Ty, and August. Ray had left earlier because he had to work. Everyone was devastated about this tragedy. Just weeks ago Zonnique was happy as ever, smiling from ear to ear. Things would never be the same now. As hours past there was stil no luck with her waking up. The visitation hours here now over and everyone said there goodbyes to Zonnique, with hugs and kisses. She remained unstable not feeling a thing. As they left out, Chris dug into his pocket grabbing a small red box. He tucked his lips in as a few tears slid down his face. It hurt him badly seeing the love of his life almost lifeless. Chris didn't care about what anyone else thought of Zonnique. She was crazy but he saw past all of that. He knew he wanted to be with her forever.

  Inside the red box was a gold tennis bracelet that she had been previously asking for. He planned on giving to her the day after she came back. Chris placed the bracelet on her wrist and kissed her pale cheek before heading out. Deep inside Zonnique's mind she was beginning to dream.

. . . .

   She fluttered her eyes open, taking in her surroundings. She stood in a field with flowers as the sun beamed on her glistening caramel skin. Zonnique began walking not knowing her destination. Suddenly a person appeared out of no where. It was her beloved son Kaden. He starred at his mother as she starred right back. Abruptly they hugged one another embracing emotionally. Although it was only a dream, this was a sign from God.

"Kaden! W-What.. is going on?" she asked confusingly.

"You tried hurting herself not intentionally but it still happened. You're in even more danger than before ma" he sighed placing his hand on his forehead.

She sulked in sadness. "I was so upset with Chris and things to escalated. I never meant for this to happen!"

"Well it's too late now. You're in a deep coma and the baby isn't doing so good"

"My baby is going to die?" She asked in a whisper with her eyes wide as day.

Kaden sighed. "No one knows ma, by the way things are looking.. neither of you might make it"

She covered her mouth in disbelief before breaking down into tears. Kaden consoled his mother, by hugging her and rubbing her back.

"Well you have a better chance to live than the baby if that makes anything better?"

"No it doesn't kaden. Chris is going to hate me forever and I'll be back at square one, drinking and smoking-"

"Ma stop thinking like that. Dad could never hate but he'll be upset. He can't lose both of you right now. If you were to die, who would be there for him and Ari? You have to stay strong. I believe in you" he said looking in her eyes.

Zonnique slowly nodded before hugging him again. "What would I do without you?"

. . . .

  That night Chris went home and things only got worst for him. His cancer was growing stronger now. He began feeling more weak and sick but he didn't want anyone knows. Chris didn't want Zonnique or the others worrying about him. He always pretended to be feeling fine to avoid the hospitals. He hated those places with a passion. All night he could barely sleep. He repeatedly coughed up blood which meant that this wasn't going to end well for him. Chris decided to just take some night quil which made him drowsy. He found himself in bed falling asleep around three in the morning. First thing at eight, he was going back to see Zonnique.
