Nani Owens
When I woke up Kj was gone, I had no idea where he went. I didn't care to know either I was just super hungry and tired even though I just woke up. I walked into the kitchen and grabbed a box of cereal and a big ass bowl to fill up. As I was eating I was rudely interrupted by the ringing of my phone. I flipped it over and saw Kj name flash across the screen.

"The fuck he want?" I said out loud to myself annoyed
"Hello?" I said into the phone
"Yo, I need you to come down to the hospital" he said
"For what? I asked
"Just come Bruh this shit important!" He yelled
"Alright alright I'm coming!" I quickly hung up and went to grab my shoes and called an Uber.

When I arrived I headed to Deauni's room, in a hurry. I didn't know what was going on but the way Kj made it seem I was thinking about nothing but the worse.
I walked in the room and a bunch of doctors were covering her, the machine was beeping all types of shit.
"What happened?" I asked him
"Bruh I don't know, I walked out the room because I was going to go get her something to eat. Then I saw Dc at the front desk trying to find Deauni and I snapped at him. After the nurse broke it up, we both heard an announcement on the PA saying something was wrong in Deauni room. I ran as fast as I could and when I got here she passed out." He explained to me

"Well is she okay?" I asked him
"Bro I don't know, that's what I'm trying to figure out" he replied
"Okay soooo where's Dc?" I asked him trying to change the subject
"He went to go see Drew" he responded quickly
"You good? What's wrong?" I asked him
I knew Kj was angry about Deauni being with Dc but it was more to it. You can see it in his eyes.

"Deauni is having twins and I'm the daddy of one and Dc is the daddy of the other one" he said in a quiet tone
"Woah what the fuck!? That's so ghetto, science is mad ghetto for real." I snickered
"Nani, nigga dead ass serious. I can't make that shit up" he said now looking down at his feet
"Oh shit! You wasn't playing? Damn I'm sorry lil bruh. That's why you angry?" I asked
"Yeah bruh. I love her Nani, I care about that girl so much it's makes no sense bro! She don't even love me though, she stuck on that hoe ass nigga upstairs." He said as his voice broke

I just grabbed him and hugged him tightly, I felt bad for my little brother. I knew dating Deauni was a bad idea but honestly I wasn't mad anymore because if they had listen to me this sad ass love triangle wouldn't be happening right now. But sometimes you have to let people figure things out on their on because that's the only way they'll be able to learn from their mistakes.

I let him go when the nurse came out the room both making us pay full attention on her.
"She's doing okay. She was just stressed and hungry and that caused her to faint. The babies are fine though so no need to stress about that. You all can go see her now." The nurse stated
I walked in and I saw Deauni laying there looking horrible. She had bags under her eyes, pale skin and her hair was a mess and she looked like she's been crying for half the day.
"Hey Dee, you okay?" I asked her quietly
"Hey Nani, I'm okay. How are you?" She asked me
"I'm okay. When you having the twins?" I asked making conversation
"Sometime this week" she replied
"Oh okay, have you picked names yet?" I asked her

"Nah not yet. I'm a little undecided. I just don't want them to have a ghetto name like me." She said with a small chuckle
It was good to see her laugh a little, because honestly she's been in a coma for 4 months straight and when she woke up everything was all over the place.
"How's everything with you Nani? What's new?" She asked
"Everything is cool I guess, Jaylin and I are like talking or whatever" I replied
"Oh shit! For real?! That's crazy! I would've never thought that'll happen" she expressed with joy

"Yeah girl, I'm so happy with him. It's completely different from Drew and I... a lot less toxic" I laughed and said
"Hell nah! It's good to see you happy with someone. How's Drew? He in the hospital still?" She asked me
"Yeah he's crippled still in the hospital, I'm bout sick of him. He'll never see me again" I said with a serious tone
"Aww damn what did he do?" She asked
"He's just all rude and shit like how you handicapped but rude as fuck?" I asked rhetorically
"Right!" She agreed
"So do you have the babies stuff?" I asked her
"To be honest I don't know. My mom doesn't come to the hospital much because they creep her out so I don't necessarily know" she said
"Oh okay, well I'm pretty sure she got shit for her grandkids! But yeah um I'm sorry for the way I acted. Even after I apologized I was still kind of tight about the situation but I'm happy for you, Deauni. You're young but I think you can grow from this" I said
"Aww thanks, I honestly needed to hear that. Lately everything just been crumpling and I felt li-" before she could her sentence Dc came walking in the room
"What are you doing here?" She asked him, her face changed from happy to upset just that quick.
"I can't visit you?" He asked
"Dawg you been out for months now and now you wanna come to the hospital? You funny as fuck!" Kj yelled
"Kj sit down, I got this. But why are you here? You left me here...you were to angry to even come and see if I was okay. I'm pregnant with your baby, they're not both Kj's. Even if they were both his you were suppose to stick by my side. You'll want me to ride for you but you ain't ride for me. You had me thinking that you gave a fuck about me when you didn't. Kj was the only one coming to see me even though he was so upset about what happened. Yeah I messed up, I fucked up badly but I'm young and young people make mistakes but it's not about the mistake it's about what you learned from that mistake. I care for you so much Dc and although I wanna kick you out my room and call you out your name...I'm not. Because I want you in your kids life just not mine, I thought about what Kj said and honestly he's right." She voiced
Dc was quiet he didn't know what to say, he was just standing there looking stupid. He knew what she said was right and honestly I was low key proud of her for being the bigger person and standing up for herself. She didn't sound selfish for the first time in a while.
"I'm sorry Dee, I am." Dc said, then he walked out the door to leave
She didn't say anything she just looked at the ceiling for awhile and started talking again like nothing happened.
After we left the hospital the ride home was quiet because we both didn't have anything to say. I didn't know what was going on in kj's mind but I'm pretty sure that he was thinking about Deauni and the babies.
"It'll be okay little bro, stop stressing." I told him
