Ashanti

My minds racing, I'm frozen to my seat an accident all I could think about was my baby boy Tae, I finally find my voice and ask  "Trice how did it happen?" she said. "Kennon was fucked up on vodka and Tae knew it, he didn't wanna go but Kennon made him. I tried to stop him but they drove off  and were hit by a 18 wheeler on Tae's side." My heart sinks. Oh my god, my baby, I hang up on Trice then got up. I ran to my car as a million thoughts ran through my head, Oh my god, every bone in my body wanted to kill Kennon. I got in my car, started it and headed to get Trice, I was irritated to the point of destruction. My eyes were full of tears, my flesh was boiling. I didn't care. Once I pulled in front of Trice's place, she was outside, tear stains running down her face. She got in "Their at Jersey State University Medical Center." I was numb. Nothing mattered, I wasn't really present. We reached the doors of the ER and I froze. Trice was saying something but, I couldn't hear her. I felt hot tears on my cheeks. Then I saw him. My baby, my creation, my one true love. Bruised, bloody, clinging to life. The night I had him flashed in my mind. He was two months early, but so alert. Those big hazel eyes looking at me. My prince, he needed me. He needed my touch, He needed my touch, he needed his mommy and while my baby sitting here fighting for his life, this muthafucka walking around without a damn scratch he's trying to talk to me but I'm not hearing shit. "Shanti I'm sorry I never meant for this to happen." I looked at this dumbass son of a bitch. My blood is boiling everything in me wanted him to feel what my son was feeling. "You never meant for this to happen? My baby is fighting for his life because of you." He begins to cry and I walk away. I spot the doctor who looked like he had bad news, my heart was racing. Please let my baby be okay dear god please he's my heart, my life, my prince please let him be alright. The doctor bypassed me. I took a sigh of relief, I walked over to Kenontae, and kissed his forehead. I cried and prayed for God to protect my baby. I felt big hands grip my shoulders, i pulled away. To my surprise it was Chocolate! "Babe, how did you know I was here?"  Chocolate looked at me then said. "Latrice called Deuce and told him. And he told me, baby you could've told me about Tae. I'm your man, you can tell me anything." A storm of emotions rushed me, a flood of tears left my eyes. I cried so hard my head was throbbing by the time the doctor came, "Ms. Perez? I'm Dr. Vaughn, Kenontae is suffering from brain hemmorage due to the impact. We have to do surgery immediately. " I froze, my heart stopped, my world shattered. This had to be a dream. It had to be a dream, my son needed surgery as soon as possible or he wouldn't live. Oh god my emotions are going insane all I could think about was my baby. Dr Vaughn walked away and went back to my baby, Kennon walked up to me and Chocolate moved closer. "Shanti I'm sorry this happened to our son please forgive me." I looked at him with disgust and Chocolate could tell I was irritated with Kennon so he stepped forward. "Man just step back leave her the fuck alone." At that moment I realized that the way I had been living my life was wrong. How could I use somebody who treated me as a queen? I touched Chocolate's hand "Marquez, honey he's not worth your dignity. Just hold me please. Please hold me Chocolate." I had never called Chocolate by his government name before it felt good. He held me, and I melted into his massive arms. He walked me to the nurse's station to sign the papers. This was the worst day of my life, yet the best. I found love. Something that I've wanted all my 23 years of life. Real love  At this moment real love is what I needed, wanted, and I finally had it I signed the paperwork then I went and sat down then waited for news on my baby boy,  time passed still nothing. I look at Chocolate's watch 6:30pm, we had been here all night, I am getting worried is my baby alright is he gonna make it?  Chocolate could tell I am frustrated and worried, he looked at me. "Babe relax just take a deep breathe, he'll be fine, he's strong just like his mama." I knew he was right, but if my baby boy didn't make it, I would lose it all we could do was sit and wait. I figetted  and paced the floor, my mama finally made it to  the hospital. "That no good son of bitch! How dare he pick up my grandchild up drunk! Mercy! Ashanti, how is my Bubba doing? How are you baby girl? I called your brothers Quan, Rico and Jimmie. They are on there way now." "Oh shit mama you called all them?" I knew at that moment Kennon's life was fucked. In a way I felt bad but, it was no longer my problem. He had a whole other war with the men in my family. Finally, the doors swung open and Dr. Vaughn came out, Chocolate grabbed one hand and my mother the other, Latrice got up and listened. "Ms. Perez, Kenontae is fine the surgery went well. He's resting now" I broke down to the floor and thanked God! He pulled my prince through, thank you Jesus
