The Cover Up

~12~

*Chris's P.O.V*
I don't know what's going on. I here a lot of nurses but I can't see anything. I'm confused. I'm trying to remember the last thing that happened and where I'm at. The last thing I remember is the drop. Then a lot of cars was around us. Where's Lavon? Where am I? I attempted to move and open my eyes but I can't.

I'm assuming I'm in the hospital because I then heard the nurses say I was in a coma. How can I hear but can't see them or anything and how did this happen. I hear the machine beep and I can finally see but the only thing I see is lights. Did I die?

"Daddy!" I hear a little girl that looks to be about 5 run up to me.

She is beautiful. She looks familiar and did she call me daddy?

"Daddy? Where am I?"

"You're in the visiting part of heaven?"

"Did I die?"

"No daddy, you're visiting. Even though you can die if you don't do what God wants you to do?"

"What does God want me to do?"

"He want you to change your life around and apologize to mommy?"

"What? Who's your mommy baby girl?"

"My mommy's name is Aniyah!"

"So she was pregnant and didn't tell me?"

"Mommy didn't know how to tell you but there are others. I have a sister she's sleeping right now and a brother on the way." She said sadly

"On the way?"

"Yes, mommy's pregnant with my little brother but she hasn't told anyone yet? She's scared but she don't know it's a boy yet. Only we know."

"Are all of you here because of me?"

"Yes, but you have to make it right daddy or you'll be here too. Heaven is a wonderful place to be but you're not ready yet."

"Well I have time right? I can go back and save your brother right?"

"No it's too late he should be here tomorrow."

I couldn't say anything. I can't believe all the damage I did to her.

"What have I done?" I said crying.

"It's ok daddy I forgave you, my brother will forgive you and most importantly God forgave you."

"Do you have a name little girl?"

"No I was waiting for you or mommy." She said while twirling her dress around and smiling

"Well I'm gonna name you Heaven, your sister Naveah and your brother name is going to be lil' C.J"

"I love it daddy thank you so much."

"When can I go fix it I need to hurry up and fix it?"

"You're not ready yet. You need to see what you've done to truly feel and believe that you can make things right."

"See what? How am I going to see what I did wrong?"

"Easy just grab my hand." She said as I grabbed her hand she took me back to the past.

"This was after graduation you left and went with someone name Andrea. Mommy was happy to come back from graduation and spend time with you but you had other plans that night I guess. You left mommy all alone that night and she was depressed and worried sick about you and you didn't even care daddy. She was going to tell you about her being pregnant but she knew what you was out doing. All she did that night was drink and cry. That's how I got here and she knew about me but she said y'all weren't ready for a family so she had to let me go. She said sorry over and over again and cried for like 3 weeks straight daddy. The important thing is that I forgave you and I'm up here with God. He really does watch over you all. Remember the night that no one speaks of. God sent me and Nevaeh to be there with you and mommy. Without us y'all would have visited a long time ago."

I can't believe what she's saying. I really feel like God has never been with me and I had bad luck.

"We're not done daddy. Now let's go back to Neveah's day of joining us. It was 2 years later when Neveah first came to join us. Mommy knew about her too but this time she wasn't ready for a family. Mommy was once again depressed because you left her for a week and you always cheated and she knew about it. God doesn't like that daddy but he always forgives. Someone she talked to encouraged her to do drugs and she did it. At first it was light but the third day she almost overdosed. The devil was at her bed but that morning trying to take mommy and bring her up here. I fought with the devil to save my mommy's life. I had to be there to wake her up because she didn't have that long until she was gone but I saved mommy's life."

How is she soo smart. Her vocabulary is amazing and she's beautiful. I can't help but began to hate myself for all I've done to my family.

"Thank you and I apologize because we are supposed to be saving and protecting you but you're up here trying to save and protect us from evil and the devil. I really apologize. I'm glad that you forgave me and I love you Heaven I really wish you would be on earth with us."

"If I would have been on earth then you and mommy would have died that day."

"Your mother wasn't there that day. What are you talking about baby?" I asked

"Never mind daddy, but I'm glad I'm up here saving lives and protecting people. Now, let's get to lil' C.J...."

"This was today...?!!?"

"Yes mommy prayed about you and her and I guess you guys wasn't meant to be because y'all are not together. Lil' C.J will be 2 months tomorrow and he comes with us tomorrow. Mommy is really stressed about grandma and trying to make the right decisions in life. She needs help and guidance like everyone else does but she's stressed and can't take it anymore so she will be sending us lil' C.J tomorrow. She knows she's pregnant and she wanted to keep it this time but it's too late. Mommy has been drinking today. She really loved you daddy. She still does but y'all are not meant to be. Everyone forgave you but her. You need to fix it daddy. You need to make it right or God will be seeing you soon. I am my mother's guardian angel and Neveah used to be yours but when Lil' C.J gets old enough it's his job. You have to fix it before it's too late. "

"Thank you so much. I never knew all the damage I done to her and my children" I said to my little girl

"Don't worry I see other children in your future but mommy's not gonna have good luck when it comes to children. She doesn't know it yet but God could turn that all around for her she just needs a change in her life. She needs a good change in her life."

"If I apologize I don't save my son but I help Aniyah, make my children happy, live longer, and have better luck!"

"Yes but you need to hurry."

"Okay and do me a favor please."

"Tell you brother and sister that I love them and I'm sorry. I'm gonna make them proud and thank you"

"OK and tell mommy I said I love her and I will always be here guardian angel."

"I will. Love you baby girl."

"Love you too daddy." She said as I hugged her and kissed her forehead and it brought me back to the hospital and back to me hearing the nurses yell again. And all I can think is thank you Lord for giving me a second chance.
