Delyla

As I sat in the hospital with my daughter, 1,000 things were on my mind. I'm still trying to figure out how we're going to get through this. Everything is a mess, the girls are acting ridiculous, Luna is a complete reck and Samiz... Don't even get me started on him. Don't get me wrong he's been here for us, he's been honest and he's actually trying but that's what he should have been doing in the first place. I've been praying all night to keep me from feeling overwhelmed. If I know one thing it's that god will always carry me through. My family too. We just gotta keep praying.

"Hey how's she doing?" Laura asked as she walked into Luna's hospital room.

"Getting the rest she needs finally... How's Zo?"

"I don't know" her voice cracked as she spoke "it's not looking good... The nurse she keeps coming and giving me updates but we're still waiting..."

"I'm sorry Laura.. I didn't know it was this bad"

"Did you know..that he.. raped her?"

"Yes... But we just found out recently..."

"I don't understand what happened... What did I do wrong... I tried everything to show him love.. to make sure he would grow into a respectable man... I'm sorry Delyla.. I'm so sorry"

"It's okay... It's not your fault..."

"I just feel horrible... You know Luna is like a daughter to me... I never would have thought that..." She cried as she struggled to get her words out

"Please Laura.. Please it's okay" I grabbed her hand

"How are you getting through this right now?" She sobbed

"God... It's all god... Luna will be okay if I don't got her he does..."

"You're right...listen, Don't tell her about Zo until I know he's okay.."

"No problem...but there's something else we need to talk about"

"What is it?" 

"Luna's pregnant"

"Wait she's what?" She said her eyes nearly popping out her head

"I know that was everyone's reaction"

"Jesus Delyla how much worse can things get!"

"Pfff... Yeah tell me about it"

"Is she keeping it?"

"Yeah... Yeah she is"

"Woooh... Okay I need a second" she stood up pacing back and forth "is she sure? She's so young.. she has her whole life ahead of her... This is alot"

"It's what she wants, all we can do is support her because she's not changing her mind..."

"Oh god he's gonna die and this child will be fatherless..."

"Don't think like that Laura just sit down and let's pray for a while. I'm not going to sleep any time soon"

"It's bad Delyla... It's real bad they're not telling me anything good.. I'm scared... I'm so scared"

"Sit down and pray with me please.. for Zo"

"Okay" she sat down and we held hands.

Our prayers lasted hours and still no word on Zo. At this point I was leaving it all in gods hands. Everything...
