Oh, I see now that I said that y'all wasn't getting chapter twelve unless I got some comments, YALL WANNA COMMENT 😭

Smh, I luhhhh y'all tho so YALL GETTING THIS CHAPTER.

Toni Sanchez

I pulled my jacket around my shoulders as I waited in the cold waiting room of the hospital.
It's been almost four hours since Eric's been in surgery and we haven't found out anything.

Even though I was worried, scared, and shaking I knew I had to be strong because I had faith and hope that he would be alright. I knew he would be alright!

Gloria rushed in the doors and looked my way. I stood out of my seat and ran to her. We dove into each other's arms and I gave her the tightest hug.

"He's going to be okay." She said. "We know he's going to be okay."

I needed as much support as I could get right now.

"Mommy," I looked over hearing Tavi call my name.

They all sat behind me in the waiting room.

"Yes baby?"

"I'm hungry."

Jupiter laughed loudly and I smacked his arm.

"Babe, you just ate a Big Mac." She looked at Jupiter like 'Okay?' 

I laughed.

"I'll go get her something." Korrine said standing up. "Anybody else want anything."

Everybody blurted out what they wanted and she pulled her head back.

"Woah, Woah, Woah." She said clapping her hands. "I'm gonna need some extra money if that's the case."

"Go in my purse and you can use my card." I said.

Jupiter handed her my purse and she grabbed my card from my wallet.

"I'll be right back."

We all nodded and went back to what we were doing. Me and Gloria sat down and she held my hand. I grabbed Elijah and Tyson.

I laid my head on Jupiter's shoulder and he kissed my forehead.

"He's gon be okay, Toni." He said looking down at me.

"Why did he do this? I told him to stop a long time ago. I told him to." I mumbled starting to feel myself cry again.

I felt my eyes burn.

If something happened to Eric, I wouldn't know what to do. Together or not, he was still a huge part of my life and if he left this earth I'd feel incompetent. My kids needed him. I needed him.

I reached up and wiped my eyes before I kissed both Tyson and Elijah's heads.

A few more hours had passed by.

I heard someone talking in the corner but I didn't think anything of it until I heard this.

"Family of Eric Sanchez." I picked my head up from Jupiter's shoulder and seen the doctor standing in front of us.
