It had been another week, and despite Craig hating my guts, everything was okay. I liked this side of Ray. He was sweeter. I mean, he was sweet to begin with, but now he was just effortlessly sweet.

"How's your leg?" I asked, touching it a little. I was able to get in the bed with Ray and cuddle up next to him.

"Feels like shit." he lightly chuckled.

"Mm. Who's fault is that though?"

"Mine." he chuckled and draped his arm over my shoulder and kissed my lips.

"I have a doctor's appointment next week." I looked over at him.

"Are you going back?"

"I have to."

"No."

"Ray.."

"You're leaving me.."

"For the health of our daughter." I stared at him and took his hand in my mine and intertwined our fingers. I laid my head back against his shoulder, and heard him wince in pain. "I'm sorry."

"It's a good pain." he smiled a little, "I wanna go with you."

"You can't.. My dad would never allow it. And what about your 'business', Ray?"

"Who cares? I almost died and I have a baby on the way."

"Noted." I sighed, "What are you gonna do?"

"I'll figure out something. I'm not worried and you shouldn't be either."

"I gotta pee." I said, randomly. Ray just chuckled, "shutup." I went to get out the bed and then felt a sharp pain in my stomach, "oh my gosh.." I held my stomach and crouched down.

"What's wrong?" he asked, "Abrial.." he touched my shoulder, "Abrial!" he shouted, "Jackson!" he yelled, and in came Jackson, along with my dad, Jay, and Chres, "something's wrong.." was all I heard, then I blacked out.

I woke up, I didn't know what time, but it felt like forever.

I started to try and move, and winced in pain. It was coming from my stomach. I touched it, panicked out my mind.

"Where's my baby?" I looked around and saw Jackson just looking at me, "Jack.." I began crying, "where is she?" Jackson just shook his head, "Where's my baby!?"

"She's in the NICU. She's alive Abrial."

"Why did I have her so early?" I wiped my eyes.

"You had to. They said you had a gallstone and if it wasn't fixed you and her could have both died."

"I wanna see her."

"You sure?" he asked. I nodded my head.

"How long ago.. did I have her?"

"C- section was a couple days ago.."

"I wanna see her now."

"Okay. I'll be right back."

"Wait." I caught his attention, "Where's Ray?"

"Back in Tennessee."

"We're not?"

"They had to ship you back to your OBGYN because they didn't have the right machinery back home."

I wiped my eyes again, "I just wanna see her."

He nodded his head and left. Minutes later a nurse and my doctor came in, "Abrial." she smiled, "how you doing?"

"I want my baby." I had the nurse help me out the bed, which was terrible. It was so painful. "How's Ray doing?" I asked as the nurse wheeled me down the hall.
