Dead To Me

My life was taking a turn for the worse right now, I don't even want to go through with the plan anymore, if I knew my son was gonna get head trauma and three fractured bones? I would've never did what I did.

I never thought the man I loved that asked me to have his son would hurt him. I feel like this is my fault, I put myself before my son.

"Aye ?" Quint said kneeing down in front of me. I looked at him then closed my eyes letting the tears fall.

"This is all my fault... i-if I wasn't for me being selfish ? He would've never been in ICU" I cried in Quints chest.

"Aye? This isn't your fault ma, you didn't throw him over that stair case! Ken did" he said kissing the top of my head and rubbing my back.

"But I pissed Ken off! I caused him to do this, what if my son doesn't make it through surgery? What am I gonna do ?"

"He's gonna make it Ma, I promise" he said grabbing my chin and leaning in for a kiss.

"Family of Kendrick Lewis?" The doctor called and we stood to our feet.

"How is he doing?" Quint asked holding me by his side.

"He's doing fine but his head and other parts of the body are damaged by the cause of the fall" the doctor said

"When can I see him?" I sniffed wiping my eyes.

"I'm sorry b-"

"Ms. Nichole? I'm detective Hazel from the child care services and the Atlanta police department...may I have a word with you ?" She said showing us her badge.

I looked up at Quint then back at her. "May you walk me through what happened to cause your newborn child to be in the hospital?" She asked

"The police have the story...ask them, I don't wanna talk about this again" I said trying to walk past her but she stepped in front of me.

I raised my eyebrow at her. "But I'm asking you, what happened? Did you throw your son over the staircase?"

"Excuse me!?" I yelled and Quint quickly grabbed me and pulled me back.

"She said she doesn't want to talk about it so move" Quint told her shoving her aside and pulling me behind him.

"Your son will be taken and given up for adoption Mrs. Lewis" she smirked

I stopped and looked back at her. "What?"

"If you refuse to speak I'll make sure you'll never see your son again, and tell Ken? I said hey old friend" she whispered in my ear then winked before walking off.
