Icelyn
This pregnancy was harder than Seven because I was all alone in a place I knew nothing about. Seven always asked about Janet and his sisters. Their birthday and my anniversary were very hard days I cried all
day. I wanted to call Caché but I never had the courage because I knew she would tell Janet she talked to me. Me and Seven were at Target getting last minute baby things when I started having pains.

"Ahh ouu shit!" I bent over the cart and took slow breath's. Seven was watching me while he sat in the basket. "You okay mommy?" I nodded my head no. "No baby I think your sister is ready to come out. Let's hurry up so we can go to the hospital." He nodded his head and I started to move as the pain went away. We were done in ten minutes and as soon as I got in the car the pain came back.

"Mama you want me to call Janet?" I whipped my head around and grabbed the phone from him. "No Seven please don't. We'll be fine the hospital isn't that far away I can make it there in 30 minutes if I speed, so buckle up." On the way to the hospital I had to pull over 3 times because of the pain but we finally made it.

"Come on Seven we gotta hurry." I picked him up and waddled as fast as I could into the hospital. I walked up to the front desk and spoke to the nurse. "Hey um ouu, I need to be checked in I think i'm in labor." She looked up at me and smiled. She handed me some papers and asked me to have a seat. "Please fill these out while you wait on the nurse to come get you it shouldn't be no more than 5 minutes." I nodded my head and sat down with Seven.

10 minutes later we were in a room to get checked before we were put into a delivery room. "Okay Mrs. Jackson let's check you guys out."

"Carter. Ms Carter." She nodded her head and checked my cervix. "Ouchh sss." She laughed took her gloves off and washed her hands. "Ms. Carter you aren't dilated at all. I'm sorry i'm going to have to send you home. When the pains get worse and closer together you can come back in." I rolled my eyes and got dressed. "Come on Sev she's not coming today."

"Ms. Carter!" The nurse came running towards me. "You can call your wife and tell her she doesn't need to come here anymore because your not in labor." With that she walked away. "Ah hell. Seven we gotta go and go now."

Janet
I was running after the girls all around the house, while I was waiting on lunch to be brought over by Toni. 5 months of looking for Icelyn was hell and we finally stopped looking last week. We tried to call Caché but she wouldn't even pick up the phone.

"Janet!" Toni called for me as she walked in. "In the kitchen T!" My phone rang when Toni walked into the kitchen, but it was from someone in Texas. "Hello Mrs. Jackson?"

"Yes this is she may I ask who's calling?" I put the phone on speaker so I could set the girls spot up. "I'm calling from Promise Hospital Baton Rouge about Icelyn she's going into labor and we were calling her emergency contacts to inform you of her situation." I heard Icelyn and labor and all I saw was black.

Toni
Janet was laying on the floor and the first thing I did was hand up the phone. After that I got a pot of water and dumped it on her face, she jumped up. "What the hell, Toni what happened?"

"Baton Rouge... that's in Louisiana. Why the hell is she there? And she's pregnant?" Janet was sitting up against the counter crying. "All this time we thought she died and she was in Louisiana PREGNANT WHAT THE FUCK!" I went over to her and hugged her. "We gotta go Jay."

"Where? Not to Louisiana. She ran I don't wanna see her. You can go and when you go give her these." The papers she handed me made me scrunch my nose up. "Divorced papers?!"

"Yeah she left with all their stuff and my heart. I can't believe I let this happen to me.... again. Damn Toni I really love her, well loved."

"Don't say that you've stayed through worse."

"Worse?!? What's worse than cheating on me, moving to a entirely different state having us think she died, and getting pregnant." I laughed.

"Drugs. So come on pack the girls bags and yours so we can drop them off and go to Baton Rouge."
