F.A.M.I.L.I.A

Twice as nice

~Marco~

Marco it really hurts Rei said as we drove to the hospital. I know baby we're almost there. Rei went into labor a few hours ago but I insisted that she wasn't in labor until her water broke in the kitchen that's when shit got real. The doctors warned us that the babies could come early, and I didn't believe him. Now here I am rushing her to the hospital to make sure she has my babies safely. Baby just listen to me okay you are going to be fine, I said holding her hand. Okay! Yeah Marco just hurry up and get me there.

I silently prayed to myself that this isn't the past repeating it's self because I cannot handle that right now.

"Marco I am bleeding, and I can't make it stop. What do you mean you are bleeding? Where are you bleeding at? From down there. Awww Marco!!!"

The night Audrey lost our child, I lost her in every sense of the word. Explaining to a woman that she lost her baby is the hardest thing that any man would ever have to do. Two months later she hung herself in our bathroom from severe depression. I was never able to say I am sorry or that we could try again for another baby. Just like that she was gone. Funny thing is the night I found her I'd just bought her an engagement ring I was going to propose to her and ask her to be my wife. After that night, I never let myself get close to another woman. And don't be on that bull shit thinking I switched teams cause I didn't, I just chose not to mentally connect to another woman, sex was sex and that was it. I never let them in my house or my mind. Not until I met Reina did I believe that I could love again. And I fell had for her, I loved Audrey I did but I really couldn't see my life with Reina in it.

We're here baby I said pulling up to the emergency room. Good cause this shit hurts like hell. Baby is it that bad? Nigga try pushing a watermelon out your pee hole and tell me would it not hurt. I looked at her. Nigga get me out the damn car she said snapping at me. She sounded so much like Lisa it was crazy, now I know how my sister feels. I got you baby I said getting her out the car and into the hospital.

Excuse me my wife is in labor her water already broke. Okay we'll take care of it in a minute the nurse said continuing to type on the computer. Ms my wife is in active labor you need to do something now. I heard you the first time damn. Bitch I am in labor now Rei said slamming her hand on the desk. Fine get a gurney she said to the other nurse. Marco call Ti she can't miss the birth. Okay I'll call them as soon they get settled in. We're gonna take her back and get her settled in the other nurse said. Okay I'll go with you I said following her towards the room. I have to make a call, I'll be right back baby. Just call her she can't miss the birth, Rei said as they helped her.

I dialed her number and the phone was ringing and ringing. Come on shit they never answer they damn phones. Hello! Sis I need you to get to hospital asap. Quit Jaya, Marco said we need to get to the hospital. Which hospital you at? St. Augustine's! We on our way right now. I went to the nurses' station, in about 15 minutes there are gonna be three women coming in here one maybe ... no scratch that she will be off the chain so if I was you I'd fix that attitude. Whatever she said rolling her eyes at me. Cool don't say I ain't warn you I said walking off.

~Tionne~

Come on we gotta go now I said to Jaya and Li as we got dressed. No, we aren't always doing it, despite what you may think. Today we were just trying something different and it was going real good till they called.

Did he say why he was at the hospital? No but I am assuming it has something to do with Rei. How many months is she is Li, Jaya said? Oh, shit she said realizing that Rei is about 8 months pregnant. Wait who is gonna watch the kids we can't leave them here by their selves? Don't worry yall go to the hospital and I'll take them to my mom's house for a little bit Jaya said. You sure babe I am sure she don't wanna watch them again. Are you serious, if we let her she'd keep them every day and we'd never see them. Trust me she'll be okay just go and I'll meet yall there. Alright we'll see you in a little bit we said leaving Jaya at the house to get the kids together.
