"Baby! You doing great! One last push." Ray said into my ear.

Everyone else stood around me looking at me smiling and wait for me to pop this baby out of me.

I pushed one last time and I felt so much relief. I heard my child cry from across the room. Ray kissed my sweaty forehead and looked at me. "I love you. And thank you for this gift I can never return or even repay you for."

I heard my father and Sean talking over top of the incubator. Cherry and Prince sitting together in the window while Masey and Roc were smiling at each other. Tay Tay was staring at me and Ray like something was wrong.

"Tay wassup?" Ray asked laughing causing everyone to look at him.

He shook his head frantically. "I aint havin no babies. Especially if it be like that shit." He pointed at me and the baby.

Everyone laughed as Roc and Tay Tay dapped it up.

"Was I sleep for a while?" I asked Ray quietly so no one can hear me.

"Yeah you was out for a minute tho. Why?"

"Because it was this really crazy dream. You left because you slept with Cherry and then I was about to get with Prince. Then A trap got hit I needed help and you wanted to see our child so I let and some more shit happened. Daddy was makin out child shoot Cherry but he shot him self instead." I rushed out into his ear.

"Babe slow the hell down. None of that shit will ever happen. I promise. Plus if I ever sleep with anybody else it sure as hell won't be Cherry. That's fuckin disgusting." Ray laughed.

I weakly hit him in his chest.

"Im playing you know I aint goin nowhere. I love you and your attitude."

The nurse came in and asked what will his name be. Everyone looked at me including Ray.

"Rashaad Eric Smith."
