Through It All

It is now May 23rd 2018 and we are at the hospital welcoming Mimi's and Ghost baby girl into the world. She is so beautiful it should be a crime. She has Mimi's smile and facial features but her little attitude is all Ghosts. I have been here since she went into labor at my house. Neither Nikki nor I have left her side. We had our men bring us clothes and everything else we needed. But, it's time for me to go home. Galaxy went to his home town of New Orleans and will be back at the end of the week. It's about three in the afternoon. So, I decide to go see my dad and Yolanda. I haven't really been here much since my grandmother is an unbearable bitch. Both of my grandmothers would make great friends. I pull up and she my brother John go inside with a girl. I park and get out. I ring the doorbell and Yolanda answers she pulls me into a hug.

"Hey sweetheart, you can't stay away that long ever again." I can say her and I becoming close was surprising. But, I am happy to call her my step mom.

"I know and I am so sorry." We walk and go into the living room where everyone is. My grandfather, dad, and brother get up and hug me. "Hey, everyone." My little brother and sister run and hug me. "Hey you two, how y'all been?"

"Good. I made the spring cheer team caption. Can you show me some cheers?" Rebecca ask

"Sure can."

"I made the football team." Josh says.

"Yay! You have been practicing none stop and it paid off. I am so proud of you two." I tell them. They go back to whatever they were doing.

"So, to what do we owe for the pleasure of stopping by?" my grandmother ask.

"Nothing, I just thought that I would stop by on my home and see y'all."

"How is the house?" Yolanda ask

"Great, a little empty because Galaxy is visiting his sick grandmother,"

"You didn't go with him?" my grandmother asks.

"No, my friend was due to go into labor at any giving moment and I didn't want to be away from her."

"Was?" Yolanda ask

"She had a beautiful baby girl today." I pull out my phone and show them the pictures that I have took.

"Speaking of babies how old is that little angel?" my grandmother asks John's girl.

"A month." She says shyly.

"You kept this from us for that long?" Yolanda asks.

"Because, I didn't think that you would approve and from how you guys reacted when I told you made realize that should've said something sooner." He says. Turns out John has a daughter and kept the whole pregnancy a secret.

I hang with them a little longer then I go home. I decide to stop by the store and pick up some snacks. I have been craving cookie and cream ice cream, pickles, peanut butter, and chocolate bars.

(In the store)

I had a basket full of shit. I decided to go ahead and pick up groceries for the house. I also picked up some cute little things to hang on the walls of the nursery. I get in line and wait to get checked out. I get this feeling that someone is watching me and I look around on the low and don't see anybody. I get checked out and head to the parking lot. As I am about to walk across the street I feel something get pressed into my back.

"Scream and I shoot you." the guy says "Now, walk to your car." I do as he says. He takes my keys and phone then tells me to get into the passenger seat. He puts my bags in the trunk then gets in the driver seat.
