Dancing with a stranger

22

It has been 3 months since Keith has been in a coma

" Keith please wake up you have our unborn child to live for, and guess why I did the ultrasound we're having another girl" She chuckles lightly as a tear rolls down her face. When she said this Jerome was about to walk through the door but after he heard that, he left with  a broken heart

" Mom"

" Come here sweetie"  Her daughter sits beside her and holds her father's hand

" Dad stop being so stubborn and wake up. What am I gonna do if I lose you? I cant lose you dad. I need you, my little sister needs you please wake up" She sniffs as her mother holds her

Keith flutters his eyes open slowly

" Hi" He says

" Dad, thank you God. My prayers have  been answered" She throws her arms around her dad

" I'm not going anywhere and I'm thrilled that we are having another daughter Mani" He squeezes her hand and smiles. The trio shares a group hug. Jerome was watching their interaction, this angered him and he left.

" Where are you going in such a hurry?" The blonde questions

" I'm not wanted here and I dont think you are either. Because Keith is having a family reunion in there with your girlfriend and his daughter"

" Look you have to understand that Mani has a child with that man so its obvious she is gonna feel some type of way seeing him in that state"

" How can you be so calm about all of this? She is pregnant with another kid for Keith"

" I was angry about it but after she explained it, I realized she didnt do it on purpose both of them were vulnerable when their daughter were in the hospital"

" Yet he kept this bit of information from me. Look I'm done-

" Are you breaking up with him? He needs you Jerome. That man is crazy for you"

" If he was he would have never jumped into bed with his ex wife. I'm out of here and if you're interested go join in on the family reunion he is awake" with that Jerome leaves
