"Hi Blessing, My name is Dr.Reed and I will be the person to operate on you. It seems as though you've had an Ovarian cyst that has ruptured. An Ovarian cyst is a fluid filled sac that forms on the inside of your ovary. This is the reason as to why you're having severe pains in your abdomen. So we've hooked you up to an IV which is giving you pain medication."
"So what am I supposed to do now?" I replied still confused as to why I hadn't knew what was going on with my body.
"We feel as though this is an emergency, because you are losing blood internally. We want to do a surgery. You will be put under anesthesia and there will be a small incision on your abdomen I will then control the bleeding and remove any blood clots or fluid as well as the cyst. The downfall is by the looks of your ultrasound we may have to remove one of your ovaries. We need to get this done as soon as possible, the blood loss can cause less blood flow to your other organs, which in some cases can lead to death."
"Well let's go" I said ready for anything that had to come my way. I've been through way worse than this before. There's people unable to have kids with both of their ovaries and they're only talking about taking one? I can handle this. If it's meant to happen for me then it will.
"Malik I love you" I said as he stood by my bedside. "I love you to Blessing. We're going to get through this." He said as he bent down to kiss my lips.
I was rolled down to a room where they put a mask onto my face next thing I remember is darkness.
Malik's Pov
I really do feel for Blessing. She was just accomplishing her goals, walking across a stage. Talking about going to Spelman and now they're telling her that she may have to give up one of her ovaries. She has been through so many obstacles. Moving to Atlanta for protection of her brother, Being cheated on and having to leave a relationship, Learning that she has a twin sister and nephew that everyone decided to keep a secret, and now there's a possibility that she may be unable to have kids. I applaud her.
I had decided to drive back to the house to grab a few things when my phone began to vibrate.
Hey , you're still coming to pick up Mai right.
I'll be there to pick her up in a few hours.
With that I just hung up and made my way to the car. Cranking up the car Get That Bag by Rod Wave came on. Every time I'm in deep thought, this the nigga to listen to.
When I pulled up to the house I grabbed a book bag from the bottom of the closet and ran upstairs to Blessing room. I grabbed a few things for her to wear and a couple of things she used for her hygiene. I then hopped back in the car and sped in the direction of Mai.

"So Blessing, You're surgery went well. As we told you we did have to remove your right ovary. You will be back to normal in 6 weeks, but we would like for you to take 2-3 weeks off from work. In the meantime you need not to lift things over 20 lbs and we would like for you to schedule an appointment with your gynecologist for every 2 weeks until you are fully healed. You may also do so here at our clinic. We want you to stay for 48 hours, before you are discharged and we want you to have someone who can drive you home. If you have any questions you can buzz for the nurse and she will be right in. May I assist you in anything while I'm here?"
"No mamn, Thanks again" I responded as she opened the door. "My pleasure" I could do nothing, but sit back and take in everything that had just happened to me. I felt tired, but yet my eyes just stared at the wall. That is until there was a knock on the door. "Come in" I said sounding parched. In walked my sister and nephew with balloons.
"How you doing?" She asked taking a seat at the end of my bed. "It could have been worse" I responded adjusting myself in bed. "You right about that" she said while giving me a hug. "It's going to get better sus, I promise" just as she was sitting up the door opened and there was Ken. "Bitch what's wrong?!" She said panicking. "Nothing Kennedy, I'm fine" I replied reassuring her. "Well good! I was scared for a minute. I can't loose you." I giggled and pulled my phone out. I had, had a few missed calls. Probably people just trying to see what's wrong.
There was another knock on the door and in walked my mom, dad, brother and his girlfriend. My dad came over and kissed me on my forehead and tried to console me as my mom pulled my hair back and rubbed my forehead.
This was all new to me. My mom and dad was never both there for me as a child. So this felt right. My brother placed his hand on my thigh reassuring me that I'd be okay. Then came in Malik and Mai. By now my room was full and I couldn't help, but to cry. Not for attention, but because this is what I longed for.
"Y'all how come something tragic has to happen for us to all be together now? It's like we all have our own thing going on." I said with tears falling down my face. "Blessing I know I'm not the best mother just leaving you with your brother, but I thought this was what was best. Your dad being out here to protect you and all. I'm going to fix this though hunny I'm going to be here for all 3 of you from here on out." My mom said with a tear rolling off her cheek. "Blessing I'm just meeting you and I love having a twin it's just hard trying to live a young adult life with a son. But I'm trying my best." Bre responded. "Same for me B I know your used to being my baby sis and getting whatever you want which you still do, but I have a baby on the way and I'm not just living for you now" my brother said. Which kind of hurt, because I was used to being the only sister he knew about and the "baby".
"I've started college Blessing life can't just be on pause for me." Kennedy responded. The only person who didn't say anything was Malik. He's been here with me 24/7 and I'm just seeing it. I'm way too hard on him. I need to let him know that I do appreciate him. "We just need to promise to be more of a family" I said wiping my face.
"I don't want any of you to die without me trying."
