A Better Love The Sequel

New Beginnings

January

Why does this shit keep happening to me. I mean really. I was so tired and I felt so weak. I really needed to be at the hospital finding out what the hell was wrong with me. I didn't know who this crazy mothafucker was, but yet he knew me. I had never seen him before but apparently he had seen me before. Just as he pushed the door open in the back I heard gunshots rang out and all of sudden I felt the man's grip loosen around me as he fell to the ground. I looked back and I saw Chauncy. He had shot the man in the back of the legs. I gave Chauncy a questioning look like, how did you know?

He came up to me and asked me if I was okay and before I could utter a word I fell to the ground. When I woke up I looked around and I saw my dad and my mother. I realized that I was in the hospital. My throat felt dry and I felt like pure shit.

"Mom." I said barely above a whisper.

She came over to the bed and grabbed my hand and my dad went to the other side doing the same thing.

"What happened? Who was that man that tried to kidnap me." I asked looking at both of them.

"Sweetheart that was Devin. He was trying to get rid of you but Chauncy and his sixth sense knew he would try some shit like this. I am grateful that he came when he did."

"I am too." My mother said.

"Where is Que?"

"He is out in the waiting area. I asked him to let us have some time with you first. He is worried sick about you. I am glad that you guys talked and are working on your relationship." My dad said.

"How are you feeling? My mom asked?

"I feel tired and those dizzy spells have really been wearing me down."

My mom looked at me with a knowing smile and I looked at her wondering why she was smiling at me like that. I was about to ask her what the deal was when the doctor came in.

"Hello Miss Salters. I'm Dr. Samuels. "He said smiling warmly.

"Hi." I said simply.

My parents stood off to the side and let the doctor step up so that he could tell me why I have been feeling so tired and being dizzy.

"Well I have some good news for you and some slightly bad news. The slightly bad news is that your blood pressure is high. It appears that you have been under a lot of stress and not getting enough rest. That is not good for your condition Miss Salters."

I looked confused and then I asked, "What condition?"

He smiled and looked at my parents then back at me.

"You're pregnant. Congratulations!"

I laid there looking like I had just been pranked.

"Are you sure?" I said afraid to believe that I really was because I had already lost one child.

"Yes I'm sure and that explains the fatigue and dizziness."

I smiled and then tears of joy rolled down my cheeks because I was actually going to have a baby. Que's baby. I couldn't wait to tell him and to see his reaction.

My mom and dad were embracing each other because they were going to be grandparents and I was going to be a mommy.

"How far along am I?"

He flipped a page on the chart and looked at me saying, "You are a month and two weeks."

I laid there thinking when was the last time Que and I had sex. Then it hit me that night in the bathroom is when it all went down.

"I'm going to prescribe you some prenatal vitamins and set you up an appointment with Dr. Long, he will be your obstetrician." He said walking out the door.

"January we are so elated for you. I can't wait to be a grandmother."

"Yeah I can't wait to be a grandfather either. Olivia lets get Que and bring him in so that they can talk."

My mom nodded and walked over kissing my cheek just as my dad did. They walked out and a few seconds later Que walked in. He was looking lost but at the same time relieved to know that I was alive and well.

He came close to the bed and grabbed my hand looking deep in my eyes.

"Baby how are you feeling?"

"I feel great. I actually couldn't be better."

"I'm glad you are okay. You scared me because I thought I had lost you again."

I reached up and caressed his cheek.

"Que I love you with all my heart you know that right?"

"Yeah baby I do. And I love you too with all my heart too."

"January I know it's something so you might as well tell me what the deal is and quit stalling."

"Why do you say that? I could just be happy, which I am very happy and you should be too." I said smiling.

"Well as long as you are happy, alive and well, I am too. I know we are going to have our bad days but its simple moment like this that I cherish. I like seeing that light in your eyes and that beautiful smile."

"Aww babe. That was so sweet. Now give me a kiss."

He smiled and leaned in kissing me. Just as Que pulled back Dr. Samuels walked back in.

"Okay Miss Salters you are set and you can go home as soon as tomorrow. I want to keep you over night just to monitor you. Oh and again congratulations." He said smiling at the both of us before walking out.

"Umm January what the hell is he talking about?" He said with a confused look on his face.

I sat up in the bed and looked at him and smiled the most endearing smile I could before saying what was going to be new beginnings for us.

"Que baby, I'm pregnant...we're having a baby......
