Everything Happens For A Reason

Omniscient

Chris held the straightest face while waiting for the doctors to come out and tell him the update on Maria.

Layla and Royalty were at Chris's mom's house, he had her come and get them once Alicia was out.

Speaking of her, she's back in jail facing more charges as well. Once he realized what she had did, he literally snapped damn near.

He was so ready for the doctors to come out and tell him what was wrong but at the same time he was so scared about what they were going to say he practically didn't wanna hear it.

Chris

I sat here and constantly replayed the flashback of what had happened to Maria, it was sickening to remember but it was like that's all I could remember.

Flashback

"Get over yourself, he doesn't want to be with you. You're lucky I'm carrying his second child or I'd give you what you're really asking for." Maria had said to Alicia. I watched Alicia closely because I didn't want her trying to hit Maria or anything because I know Maria isn't going to think about that she's pregnant, she's going to do what comes to mind which is hit her back.

Alicia turned around slowly and I glanced at Maria and before I could think or blink, Alicia had let off two shots and the first person I looked to was Maria. She was holding her chest as she slowly fell. I couldn't fathom nor understand what just happened.

I didn't know whether to rush to Maria at this moment or immediately try and get my phone to call for help. I went over to Alicia and reached for my phone in her hand.

"No" She said moving her hand back.
I gave her one hard punch to the face that'll for sure knock her ass out, I grabbed my phone and called 911.

I used a shirt I had hanging up to apply pressure to Maria's chest while I talked to the operator.

"Come on, Maria. Don't close your eyes, I'm right here." I talked to her while she laid in my arms.

Her eyes fluttered while she panted, running out of breath.

"Keep 'em open baby, they almost here." I said, feeling myself on the verge of tears.

"Take good care of her." She had managed to say before closing her eyes.

I began to panic and constantly try and tell her to 'Wake up' or 'get back up' but she was still. I felt for a pulse and there was one but it was faint. The paramedics couldn't get here quick enough.

End of flashback.

I rubbed my hands over my head while my elbows rested on my knees. I was here by myself, I didn't think to call any one up here because I'm already under enough and I didn't want to have to go through the whole story of what happened and how she had got here, it would've wrecked my brain more than it already is. I'll have no choice but to call if something comes up though.

She been in there for two hours, what's taking so long..

"Sir, are you here for Maria Rios?" The doctor that had stepped outside her room had said.

I nodded and waited for what he was going to say next.

"We were able to save the baby by giving her an emergency C-section before the bullet traveled, but we weren't able to revive Maria, she-"
