Can Hurt Heal

Chapter Seventeen

CHAPTER 17

AT THE HOSPITAL

As everyone sits around LaNyiahs bed, she feels herself drifting as if she's floating out of her body; with her eyes close she drifts for some time now, then she feels her body lands abruptly, as she slowly opens her eyes, but immediately closes them back, as a night light shines on her face. She goes to stand as she checks her surroundings; not knowing where she is, but does notice that her body doesn't hurt anymore. She remembers everything; up until the point where she blacked out. In a surge of panic; she begins to scream for Tynia.  When she can't find her, and she doesn't respond; she falls to her knees crying begging for Nia.

Then a beautiful light skin lady about 5'7, 280 pounds, but is carrying it nicely, appears out of nowhere. Her hair was dark brown, with goldish highlights. She was holding something, or someone, it looks like a baby. The woman stood before her as she looked to her, while still crying.

"Please don't cry LaNyiah." The beautiful woman spoke.
"How do you know my name?" Nae asked sniffling
"I'm Tina, your birth mother. We've never gotten a chance to meet in person, but I've always watched over you." Nae mom spoke, "Oh God, it's you." Nae stood hugging her. When she heard her name called again. She turned around to see her dad and mom smiling at her.

"Oh mommie, daddy. Oh how I miss y'all." Nae said hugging her parents then she turned around dropping her head
"Oh T, I mean mama I'm sorry. I mean no disrespect." Nae said Trina explain herself

Her mom smiled at her as she hugged Naes parents. Then turned back to her.

"Chile I took no offense. I know these are you parents. I sent your mom y'all way. She has never let me down. She would go up side your dads head behind you. She is indeed your mother and Nia is indeed your whole sister. You carrying to much baby." Naes mom Tina said.
"I don't care about right now, we have more serious things to talk about." Naes dad Tim spoke.

Nae felt as if she was a little girl in trouble again and just wanted to hide. But as on cue her mama came to the rescue

"Boy, if you don't leave my baby alone. I know what you want to know just like the rest of us, but you not gone make her feel bad about it. Better be glad we in heaven, and I can't speak my mind." LaJoy spoke to her husband and wrapping her arms around Nae. She grabbed Naes hand and lead her to a spot that reminded Nae of when she was little and her mom would go sit and talk.

"Baby why you lie? Why didn't you tell the truth? And why you pushing that sexy tatted boy away." She was about to continue but was interrupted. "Joy don't make me." Naes dad spoke up
"Boy mind your business." Nae mom said fanning him off. "MA, I thought y'all would be disappointed in me. He was my best friend, I was supposed to be able to trust him, but then Trey he just changed, as far as Jay I don't know?" Nae said sighing heavily. "Baby Trey will definitely get his. Trust and believe, when you do so much dirt it always have a way of coming right back around and get you in the worst way, as for Jaylen, stop pushing him away. F.Y.I he will never stop." Naes mom said nudging her and laughing. Nae thought about what her mama said, when her mom walked over with the baby she was holding earlier.

"Nae, this is your son." Her mother Tina said while leaning down passing her the baby. Nae burst into tears as the little boy had her nose, but looked exactly like Trey. She didn't know how to feel. He had a face of the devil but her heart was over flooded with love, because he was also apart of her. She looked down into the face of a true angel, as the baby held her finger and smiled a gummy smile.

"Pooh, you gotta forgive, so that you can truly heal. The more you read the letters the more you'll learn. Don't be mad at what you find out either. Just know that the good Lord has a plan, and everything happens for a reason." Nae's father Tim said hugging her and his grandson. "Daddy, I'm not good anymore. He took me." Nae sobbed as she relived the rape, and the beatings. She didn't understand how her life could be so loving and turn into hurt. She tried to hold on as best she could but everyday she was slipping and she knew it. She held the baby tighter as she felt horrible that she couldn't keep her baby safe, because in all actuality, she couldn't keep herself safe.
