Family Man

Chapter 38

                          "Last Chance "

    

When Teesha had awaken she was in a hospital bed. The first thing she thought was that she some how lost the twins. She clutched at her stomach and screamed out so loud that she  alarmed the staff.  Her nurse rushed in her room and  immediately ran over to her IV.  The nurse placated  her as she pulled a seringe from her bottom left coat pocket. She inserted the tip of the needle pushing in a dose of relaxation that rapidly  gave her tranquility an unburdened  her distress. After a few seconds her eyes closed and her breathing returned to normal.  Jesse was in a hospital room down the hall getting his hand patched up. He decided to call Michael after his hand was stitched and bandage. The conversation wasn't a pleasant one, and enraged more hostility between them both. Michael's  immediate thought was that he was being jubilant and wanted to smear  it in his face  that Teesha was with him....

"Jackson." he sighed into the phone looking at his bandage hand as he walked down the hall on Teesha's floor.

"Williams.  I don't have time for more bullshit from you. So if you're calling about a victory with  my wife save it!"he groaned. "Your warnings has now exceeded.  Our next meeting will not be one you'll survive."Michael said contemplating his exit from his childhood home.

"Same insecure Jackson."Jesse chuckled turning the corner. "Everything isn't about getting a rise out of you. Give me some credit... I definitely don't need games to gain Teesha's love. But if you give me a chance you'd know this call is concerning a woman we both love. There's been an accident." Jesse sighed and rubbed his other hand over his head.

"Accident?"Michael stood up with a monstrously snare on his face.  "What did you do?"he asked hastily.

Jesse chuckled.  "You really think I'll hurt her? I'm  not the merciless cheating Jackson.  I could never surpass the hurt you compelled on her." He huffed.

"Get to the damn point! Where's my  wife?" he asked irritated and ready to attack.

"Teesha...he pauses, we're at the hospital.  Look just get down here. She's stable, but she's frightened." Jesse said, as Michael hung up his end of the phone kissed his mother's cheek and said he'd explain things much later then he ran out the door.

Jesse was walking to Teesha's bed side just as the nurse was leaving.  She said,that Teesha was stable for now, and she may have to sedate her again ,if she wakes up with erratical behavior. He sat in the chair closest to the bed and held her hands after the nurse exit. He lifted her hands to his lips  and kissed them gently grazing his thumbs across her knuckles. "I love you. I hope you know that." he pecked her knuckles softly again.

"You're pitiful." Michael said,shaking his head  entering the room. "I'd appreciate it if you take your damn hands and lips off of my wife."Michael grunted.

"Your wife is the mother of my daughter, so I'll damn well do what I want. Last I checked, you and Teesha were officially seperated. She gave me not a single sign that she even wanted a reconciliation with you.  Why don't you tone down that big bad wolf mentality,because I'm not some punk who's scared of you. I fight for what I want." Jesse said,letting her hands slip away  from his grasp as he stood up.

"I'm so fucking  tired of you. It's going to take getting rid of you for you to let go of  this imaginary love you think my wife has for you. Were you deprived of a mother's love? Were you abused at some point in your life?" Michael cocked his head to the side trying to figure him out. "Really what is this obsession you have with my wife? It needs to stop." Michael narrowed his eyes deeper on Jesse.  "It needs to end for  your own health. You should reconsider this repulsive---contaminated illusion you have with my wife." Michael smirked.
