Dejah's baby in the MM 👆💗

Dejah POV

It's the next day and I'm still in the hospital. I look to my left and see my baby laying in her cart knocked out. I take my phone off the charger and go on Instagram and take a picture of Aaliyah.
As soon as I post it I instantly started getting likes and comments on how cute she is

Darius: Hey Dejah

I look up and see Darius as he slowly walk in the room. I scrunch my eyebrows in disgust as he stands in front of me

Dejah: What do you want Darius? And be quiet before you wake her up

Darius: I really want to apologize for doing what i did to you. I was drunk and didn't know what i was doing, And i also wanna be a part of the baby's life

Before i can respond Aaliyah starts whining.. I lean over and pick her up putting her on my chest

Dejah: Darius i accept your apology but i will not forget what you did to me. You raped me and now you wanna waltz in here and act like everything is ok? Most girls would've did the opposite of what i did. Even though this wasn't supposed to happen I'm gonna raise this baby. And before i kick you out of here no you cannot be in Aaliyah's life. Especially what you said to me when i called you and told you i was pregnant. So turn around and walk out the door

He shrugs his shoulders and walks out the room. Lord knows i'm not gonna have him in my life after what he did to me.. Seconds later Tiny and Pops come in the room with smiles on their faces

Dejah: Hey yall

Tiny: Hey baby. How's my grandbaby?

Dejah: She was whining so i put her on my chest

Pops: Did that asshole come by here?

I rolled my eyes and shook my head

Dejah: Yeah he did. He said he apologized for what he did and he wants to be apart of the baby's life. I told him I forgave him but he won't be coming around her. When i first found out I was pregnant I called him and he said the baby wasn't his

Tiny: But do you thunk keeping him out of her life is a good idea? She's gonna need her father in her life

She had a point. Maybe one day when he's grown enough to understand his actions then maybe JUST maybe I'll give him a chance

Dejah: I'll think about it. Did you run into a doctor by any chance?

Pops: No why?

Dejah: I wanna go home

Tiny: You get to go home tomorrow

She comes over and takes Aaliyah and sits in the chair by the window

Pops: You look exhausted

Dejah: I am actually. Aaliyah kept waking me up with her crying. Most of them were for diaper changes or she wanted me to hold her

Pops puts his hand on my shoulder and gives me a smile

Pops: You're gonna be a great mither. With or without that sorry ass nigga

Tiny: Tip watch your mouth. There's a baby present

I lay back in bed as I feel my eyes getting heavy as I finally drift off to sleep...

Bre POV

I'm at home chilling with my brother in his room playing a video game. I really missed him being around. Ever since my niece died Cherish won't even leave her house. We went by there dozens of times but she won't come to the door. Her funerals in a week and I'm nowhere near ready. As for Damond I can't say the same

Bre: Are you ready?

Damond: For?

Bre: Jayla's funeral

He pauses the game and turns to me with a sad look on his face

Damond: Bre I'm nowhere near ready. And as for Cherish she's a wreck. Only you and mama are maintaining

Bre: I loved Jayla like she was my own child. I just can't believe Jayden went and did something like that. He took something near and dear to me

Tears started rolling down my face as Damond pulled me in for a hug. I just cried in his arms as he rubbed my back

Bre: I just want my baby back. Why he take her from me? I just want her back

Damond: I know babydoll...I want her back too...

I lift my head as he wipes my eyes

Damond: Just keep pushing babydoll. That's what Jayla would want you to do. Not sitting around here all sad and mopey

Bre: You're right. Thanks D

Damond: No problem. Now lets get back to this game so i can beat your butt

He unpaused the game as we continued playing. Damond did have a point. I have to keep pushing not just for me but for my niece. And that's exactly what imma do...

(A week later)

It's the day of Jayla's funeral and everyone showed up. Bahja's and nique's family showed up along with mine. Cherish and Damond walked in together holding each others hand. I walked up to her casket to see her in a white and pink dress with her hair in curls. Tears instantly fell from my eyes as I looked at my baby laying there

Bre: Why did that monster take you from me?

I started crying even harder as I felt hands on my shoulder. I turn around to see Nique, Bahja, and Trina behind me. I hug each of them as we found a seat in the front waiting for the funeral to start.

Bahja: How you feeling babe?

Bre: Numb, hurt, torn apart...I feel like my life has no meaning now that my baby's gone

Nique: No matter what happens you your family and you got us

Trina:

Before she can respond we hear Cherish screaming

Cherish: MY BABY! WHY THEY TAKE MY BABY?! WHY'D IT HAVE TO BE HER?!

Damond and my mom grabbed her by her hands and and sat her down til she was calm. The funeral finally started as the preacher preached and even said a few words. After me and everybody spoke went to the cemetery for the burial. I met up with Damond and mom

Bre: Where's Cherish?

Mom: In the car. She won't come out no matter how many times we tried

Bre: I'll see if I can get her out

Both: Good luck

I go to Cherish's car and I see her in the drivers seat crying and staring out the window. I open the door and get in the car closing the door

Bre: Cherish can you please get out the car?

Cherish: I can't Bre. That's my only child. Last night I slept in her room because I can't picture my life without her

Bre: And I can understand that. But being sad and upset won't fix anything. You have to be strong not just for yourself but for your daughter. And I have to do the same thing...So can you please get out the car?

She turns to me and gives me a small smile and grabs my hand

Cherish: Ok. Lets go

We get out and follow everybody to Jayla's plot

Damond: How did you manage to get her out the car?

Bre: I just talked to her

After we said prayer they lowered her casket into the ground. Cherish squoze my hand as I squoze hers. We all said our farewells and went back to our cars. Me and Damond got in the car and headed back to Cherish's house for the repass. My baby was gone but I know she's watching over me and everyone else. I just hope I can get through the rest of the day without any issues...

Hope y'all like it

Let me know if I should stop or keep going 💗✌
