Falling For An Angel

Thirteen

After being home for several weeks & having his family babysit Iyana. I finally found childcare I really appreciated everyone pitching in to help. Now I can drop her off on my way to work. I won't have to worry. Her diaper bag is packed full of goodies & ready to go. We give daddy a kiss & we're off. I'm at the office going over final photos & checking emails with Jessica. We finish several clients packages. At lunchtime, we decide to have tacos away from the office.
So how are things with you & Anthony?
We're fine Iyana keeps us pretty busy.
Are you going to have more children?
I don't think so I haven't really talked about it.
So you're on birth control
No, I mean not yet I could get some.
I think you should.
I'm a mother of three.
I know how it is.
So how do you & his mother get along?
I mean we talk on the phone from time to time she helps with Iyana.
Well, that's good.
I didn't think she would come to the wedding because I was pregnant I didn't want her to think that's the only reason we got married.
Sometimes you just have to be clear that you love him & your all a family now.
Yea I think I'm thinking of having her over for dinner.
Good just talk to her.
We made it back to work, finished our albums & downloads. Thanks to Jessica I'm done an hour early. I pick the princess up from daycare & she is so tired. I tried to wake her up but she isn't having any of it. Dinner is on the stove for my King. He calls me on face time to let me know he is running late but its okay dinner is not ready yet.

About an hour later I receive a phone call from the police department:
Hi, this is detective David Sutten with the Fort Worth police department.
Are you, Mrs. King?
Yes, what's going on?
Well, unfortunately, we have an accident over on West & Green Blvd. Mam, it appears your husband was blindsided by a drunk driver.
Nooo, this can't be happening where is he. I said screaming.
He is on his way to the nearest hospital.
Mam, calm down... breath. I hung up the phone & slammed it down. I was so mad I couldn't see straight I rushed to the emergency room to try to save him. I kept praying in my mind over & over & over. When I saw him there was blood everywhere. The room was full of doctors & nurses. I felt a sharp pain in my back as if somebody snatched my heart out while I wasn't looking. I called his mother she rushed to the emergency room right away. I just kept praying he was okay. The doctors came to talk to us it wasn't good. They did everything they could but Anthony died about 30 minutes later. I wish this was all a bad dream. We couldn't stop crying, the pain we felt was nothing compared to what he must have felt. How could this happen we just had a baby girl? We just got married. That night I picked up Iyana & went home It didn't feel the same without Tone. I no longer felt safe. I prayed for God to help me get through this tough time, I knew I couldn't do it alone.
His funeral was filled with his loved ones. I couldn't keep my composure, His mother gave a heartfelt speech. We all took pictures with his family & Iyana at the end of the service.
Mom & dad stayed with me for a week after the funeral to help out around the house. I kind of wish they would move to Texas with me. I talked to mom about it while dad was sleeping she said she would see what she could do. I can't make any promises Samrah she said with her head down, you know how your father is.
