PBE : The Third

-19-

2 weeks Later.

I just dropped Bailey off to my mother.  I am going to go check in Odell at practice. He didn't play in the first regular season game because he's injured, it's frustrating him but he wants to be 100% sure that he can play to his full potential before he plays. I woke up late , and now I'm rushing. I hate rushing because I always forget something. I decided on taking the long way to the practice stadium and I immediately regretted doing so, I was sitting in NY traffic as usual. My phone rang and for some reason the Bluetooth wasn't picking it up, I leaned over to try and find it in my purse I heard something smash into the back of me and when I looked up a truck was coming towards me at full speed. My heart stopped and then everything went black.. I don't remember anything after that , I only remember waking up and the paramedics hovering over me asking a bunch of questions. It hurt so bad , everything hurt so bad. This had to be a dream, I needed to wake up. Someone anyone please wake me up. I could hear them talking but it was like they couldn't hear me , my mouth was moving but nothing was coming out.

" Mrs Beckham can you hear me , you are going to be okay everything is going to be fine. I need you to stay awake for me your husband is on his way."

Stay awake was all I heard her say and then everything went black again, I was tired I was so tired I couldn't stay awake everything was fading.

I heard the sounds of monitors beeping around me, the pain was consuming me I slowly opened my eyes except this time I saw familiar faces. Odell was here , mama heather, and my parents. Where was Bailey why isn't my baby here ? I tried to sit up soon realizing that wasn't an option.

" Baby relax moving isn't ideal right now just relax let me get the doctor."

Odell walked out of the room , I looked around and there was so much sadness in the room , pain and worry was written all over everyone's face.

" Hi Babygirl , we are all glad to see you awake. I know you are in a lot of pain but everything is going to be fine." My dad spoke softly after kissing my forehead.

I looked down at my hands and there were cuts and bruises I was bandaged everywhere and everything hurt it.

" Daddy what happened ? Where is Bailey ? And the babies , what happened to the babies."

" Shhh Bug relax Bailey is fine she is with Ms.Jenny the doctor will come and explain everything baby just breathe."

She didn't answer my question about the babies. Father God please , please let my babies be okay.

Odell walked back into the room with my doctor. She was smiling that was a good sign right.

" Delaney , I am very happy to see you awake. It has been an eventful couple of days for you and your family."

She pulled the flashlight out of her pocket to check my eyes , along with the other things she needed to check.

" Do you remember the accident ? "

" Not much of it, I was in traffic and my phone rang , I remember looking for my phone but after that everything is a blur."

" Someone rear ended You Delaney pushing you into on coming traffic. The police will come and talk to you about the details of the accident. Can you tell me how much pain you are in 1 being none and 10 being the highest."

" A 8 maybe a 9. It hurts all over."

" We will get you some stronger pain medicine. It's going to hurt for a while there was significant damage during the accident."

" Can You tell me about my babies ? Tell me that they are okay please."

She put her hands over mine and smiled. " They are both perfectly fine. They are a few weeks early , but in perfect condition. You have two little fighters Delaney that's for sure."

I could feel the tears falling from my eyes. Hearing that they were okay put me at ease. Odell wiped the tears from my eyes and leaned down kissing me softly. The doctor left letting me know the nurses would be in to check on me periodically.

My parents and Mama H left the room leaving me and Odell alone. He sat down beside me on the bed and ran his fingers through my hair.

" Have you seen them ? Is it a boy and girl ? Boys , girls how are they?"

" Baby they are perfect a little boy and a little girl. He was born first so she has a big brother. They look just like Bailey did when she was first born."

A boy and a girl , exactly what I wanted. And my baby got his boy. I wanted to see them, but I know because they are premature they are going to be under a watchful eye.

Two police officers walked into the room immediately making me uncomfortable. I pray that no one was killed in this accident. I shouldn't have reached for my phone I don't know what I was thinking.

" Good Evening Mrs.Beckham. I am Officer Reynolds and this is my partner Officer Montgomery we are investigating your accident."

" Investigating ? Was someone killed ? Did I hurt someone ?"

" No ma'am you were the only person injured in the accident. But from what witnesses are saying someone hit you with intentions of pushing you into oncoming traffic. We are trying to figure out who would want to hurt you and why."

Intentionally pushed me into oncoming traffic ? Meaning someone was trying to kill me ?

" Are You saying that someone wanted me hurt ? Or even worse dead ?"

" Yes ma'am that's what we suspect from what the many witness on sight have come forth and said. Can you think of anyone who would want to see you hurt ?"

" I don't have very many enemies , so off the top of my head no Officer I can't think of anyone."

" We checked out reports and we know that Mr.Beckham just recently filed a protective order on a Ms.Yara Manziel do you think she might have something to do with this?"

I knew she was obsessed , but this is a new level of crazy. If that bitch did have something to do with this she better watch her back , because we are coming and we are coming strong !
