As the ambulance took Shantay away I followed the it to the hospital. I would deal with Trey another time. The ambulance parked and pulled Shantay out on a gurney.
A group of nurses including Jaylin ran out to help. Once Jaylin saw Shantay she stopped dead in her tracks.
"oh my God" I heard her whisper. She noticed me and came over.
"What the hell happened Lon?!" she said.
"Trey shot her" I said somberly.
"He did what?"
I sighed.
"I went to go get Shantay some ice cream cause she wouldn't stop buggin me about it. I come back and I hear Shantay upstairs yellin "stop get off me". So I go up there and this nigga Trey is rapin her. So I takes out my gun and tell him to get out and as he's leaving he tries to take the gun from and we end up fighting over the gun with his hand on the trigger. A shot went off and now here we are"
"Oh my god we have to save her. I will not let her die" she said running into the hospital to help. I went and sat in the waiting room and waited for someone to tell me something.
*A Few Hours Later*
"Shantay Powell?" a doctor asked. I stood up and walked over to him.
"Tell me what's up Doc?" I said.
"Well, the bullet hit a major artery in her stomach and she unfortunately lost the baby. She will be in a coma for at least two weeks"
"Wait baby? She was pregnant?"
"Yes sir. Three weeks along."
Damn my own baby?
"And you said she'll be in a coma for two weeks?"
"At the minimum, yes. I'm very sorry. You can go see her if you like. Room 234” he said before walking off.
Damn. Two whole weeks. Two whole weeks without my baby. Two whole weeks without seeing that beautiful smile, those pretty eyes and hearing her cute little laugh.
I walked into her room and she was just lying there. Breathing unevenly and looking pale as ever. She wasn't the glowing bubbly woman that I knew. It was if she was dead.

I took Aliyyah to see her mom the next day.
"Why is she in here Auntie?" she asked me.
"She was shot baby." I said walking down the corridor of the hospital.
"Shot? By who?"
"Well they say Trey did it but I'm not sure"
"Uncle Trey did it? Why would he do that?"
"Who knows?" When we walked in Lon and Jaylin were in the room with her. Jaylin was crying.
"Auntie Jay why you crying?" Aliyyah asked her.
"Your mom was pregnant and now she isn't anymore"
I gasped. "She miscarried?"
She nodded her head.
"So what's up with her now?"
Alonzo sighed and said "She's gonna be in a coma for two weeks at least.
"This is freaked up" I said not trying to curse in front of Aliyyah.
"If I see Trey I swear I'm killin him on sight" Jaylin said
"Nahh sis. We gotta handle this shit right. You just can't shoot the nigga out in broad daylight. We gotta come up with a plan that'll actually work" he said.
"Y'all serious bout this shit?" I asked.
"Hell yeah why wouldn't we be Fee? He shot her. She in a coma. And she lost her baby. Our nephew could've been growing inside of her. All this shit is because of Trey" Jaylin said.
All the while Aliyyah was completely ignoring us and talking to her mom. I heard her say "Ma you gotta come back to us" Awww I thought.
"Fee. Is you in or you out cause its gon happen either way." Jay asked.
I looked over at Shantay and how Aliyyah was on the verge of the tears looking at her mother this way. It broke my heart to see that.
"I'm in" I said.
Aliyyah
I hate uncle Trey. No f that. He ain't my uncle. I hate Trey. I hate what he did to my mom and our family. She's laying in the hospital because of him. My little cousin/brother or sister could've been growing by now.
It brought tears to my eyes to see her like that. She looked so frail and weak. And anyone who knows her knows she is nowhere near frail or weak.
I texted Tasha.
Liyyah 1:35pm: I'm omw to ur house
Tash 1:36pm: K Brandon's ova hea btw
Liyyah 1:36pm: Coo I need to vent... c u n a few
Tash 1:37pm: kk
I made it to Tasha's house in five minutes and before I could even knock Brandon opened the it and hugged me.
"Hey pretty girl" he said to me.
"Hi Brandon" I said walking into the house. "Where's Tash?"
"She in the bathroom" He sat down on the couch and I sat next to him.
"So what's going on? Tash said you needed to talk to us"
"I do but I wanna tell you both" I said as she walked out of the bathroom.
"Tell us both what?" she said sitting on the other side of me.
"My mom is in the hospital."
They both gasped.
"Why?" Tasha asked me.
"They said Trey shot her, she's in a coma, and she lost her baby."
"Wait she lost her baby?" Tash said.
"Trey shot her? Isn't that her husband?"
"Yes and yes"
"Dang bruh. I am so sorry" Brandon said.
"How long she gon be out?"
"Bout two weeks at least"
"Think you can manage without her?" Brandon asked.
"Are you calling me a mommy's girl" I asked laughing.
"If the shoe fits"
"Well I'm just close to her. She's the only family I got left since my real mom died"
"Oh yeah I forgot about that. If I didn't know I would swear Ms. Shantay was your real mom"
"Yeah y'all might as well be mother and daughter biologically" Tash said
"Are you staying the night over here?"
"Yeah. I already asked my Auntie" I said giving her my bag.
"I hope she gets better. She makes the best brownies ever" Brandon said. I laughed and punched him.
"Shut up. I hope she gets better too." I said.
