Part 14
SHINE
" you sure about this " she said looking me in the eye.
" Yes , if I wasn't I wouldn't be here "
Holding her hand I watched her get her ultrasound done. A picture appeared on the screen and she pointed with excitement.
" Look baby !" I smiled watching the screen. I gotta admit I wished that was my baby in there. I had a baby boy but he died after his mom committed suicide while carrying him. We wasn't dating she was just paid to carry my child , but I had no idea the bitch was crazy .
The nurse wiped her off finishing up
" Okay hun, your all done "
I took her hand and helped her get down.
Daija was only 4 months along but I still made it my business to protect her. I made sure she ate right , and that she rested, she wanted a job but she already knew that was out the question.
I tapped her on the butt and grabbed her purse
"C'mon fat cake "
" I am not that big" she laughed holding my hand.
Walking into the elevator she starred at her baby pictures then her face changed.
"What's wrong "
" I just wanna thank you ...for everything" she said hugging me tight
" I got you"
I kissed her lips and led her outside.
Soon as we stepped out the building a black car with tinted windows drove slow coming down the street. I automatically knew something was wrong once it stopped.
Daija too busy looking at her pictures, laughed but her smile turned into fear once she spotted the car.
" What "
" Shawn ..."
The car took off speeding down the road, a man dressed in all black with a mask on rolled down his window.
I heard a female screaming from the passenger seat. Her voice sounded familiar almost like Alicia's.
" SHINE !" she yelled through the window.
Soon as he opened fire I tackled daija to the ground covering her body.
Pedestrians ran away from the streets screaming trying to take cover.
The only sounds I heard was daija screaming , windows bursting and other people screaming.
Mario,and Johnny my homeboys jumped out the truck and bust back. The car sped off but they were still shooting at the car.
I didn't get off daija until the car disappeared.
" Y'all good ?" Mario said putting his strap back in his pants.
"Ya I'm good "
Checking on myself and daija , something wet was on my hands. Raising my hand blood was dripping but I didn't see any wounds. I could hear the sound of her gasping for air.
"DAIJA !"
