No Love (August Alsina Love Story)

Chapter 18

*****
:: August:::
I was on the couch just chilling and listening to my family talk. It felt good to have both of our families in the same room with no arguing or fighting. I was laughing at the corny joke I heard Naomi tell. "Ny, Dont repeat that to no one else. That was corny as shit." I laughed. Kylie, Angel and I instantly stopped laughing when a familiar face walked into the living room with Eva and Callie.
"What are doing here? You can't just show up at people's homes after what 7? 8 years." I said angrily. "Don't talk to me like im some type of stranger." She answered. "But you are." I yelled. "Dad, Can you guys go downstairs for a minute?" Eva asked trying to give us some privacy. They walked down downstairs and into the basement.
"How do you even know where he lives?" Angel asked. "Yeah how did you?" I asked. We all looked at her waiting for her to answer. "I gave her your address." My dad said causing us to turn around. "You had no right giving her the address to where my fiancee and child lay there head. I dont even know her let alone trust her." I yelled at my dad. "August chill. She is still our mother." Callie said. "No Callie. What mother chooses one of her children and leave the rest for a man?" I asked looking at her. "August you act like I left yall on the street or with somebody you didn't know. No I left you with your father" She yelled. "You left us with drunk. He didn't take care of us. Angel did! She was the only reason we left New orleans."
"You know how I took the death of your brother. I wasn't fit to be a mother to you kids."
"And he wasn't fit to be a father. So you what? Leave your 17 year old to care for 2 children. Thats crazy." Kylie semi-yelled. "You know what mama. There was a point where we were living with no light and no water. I had to struggle just to feed them. I dropped out of school and worked two jobs just to pay the bills and keep clothes on there back and work another to even get us here." Angel argued. "That was unfair for me. You took my childhood away from me." She cried.
"You need to leave. We won't nothing to do with you." I yelled causing her to cry.
"August. Everybody makes mistakes. At least give her a chance to fix what she has broken." Eva said looking at me. "Eva this can't be fixed." I said upset that she was taking her side. "Why are you even defending her?"
"Im not defending her. I just know that you should be lucky she even came her I would give anything to have my mom back but you have a opportunity that I don't and that is your mother being here. You and your sisters need to sit down with her and talk it out and forgive her. Because one day might be to late and you will regret it." She said before sitting down. "Now everybody just have a seat and think." We all sat down and didn't say anything we just looked at eachother. We were all so angry with her, Then she came in here and now I'm exposing secrets that I have never even told Eva.
"Uhhhh.." Eva said standing up. "Either I just pissed my pants or my water broke." I looked and saw water on the couch and running down her leg. "Aghh." She screamed grabbing my arm. "Oh it was her water." Angel said walking over to her and grabbing her hand.
::Eva::
I need to sit down. There is a lot of pressure on my uterus and it kinda hurts. I sat down followed by August and his family. The pressure begin getting stronger and then I felt like a pull and then release. I looked down as I felt a slimy liquid substance on rub down my leg. I stood up in shock.
"Uhhh.. Either I just pissed myself or my water broke." I said looking down at August, His eyes widened.
I felt this sudden pain in my vaginal area. I grabbed August's arm and screamed. "Oh it's her water."Angel said grabbing my hand. "We need to get her the hospital." She said. "Kylie run down stairs and get her family." August said standing up. "Cal go in the nursey and grab the bags in the corner and Angel help me get her to the hospital." he said. He lifted me up bridal style and carried me to the car placing me in the back seat.
*****
I was laying in the hospital bed for almost two hours. The doctors gave me some pain medicine to relieve the pain but I wasn't getting a epidural. I was so uncomfortable. Everyone was sitting in the room talking and August stood by me holding my hand as I layed in the bed. It felt like it was 200 degrees in the room so he placed a cool rag on my forehead. "How you doing?" The nurse said walking in. I didn't answer because I really wanted to say 'bitch how you think I'm doing' she checked my vitals and the heartbeat of the baby. "Eva your blood pressure is rising so imma give you some medication because we have to get it down before delivery. This will probably make you drowsy but that's okay you need some rest." she said putting this needle in my IV. "Now only 4 people can stay and the rest can come back in the morning. I promise the baby will wait." She said. The obvious was August , Alex , Angel and Naomi. I really didn't want any parents here so we sent them going.
********
I woke up in so much pain. I turned to my side and seen August sitting next to me sleeping and The other 3 sleeping in chairs by the window. "August." I said tapping on him weakly. "Please go get the nurse." I said as the pain got intenser and started to come more often. He walked out the room and came back with my nurse, She looked at the chart and then looked under the cover that covers the bottom half of my body. "Do me a favor and press that red button above her head?" My eyes widened because red buttons are usually bad.
"What's wrong ?" I asked, She looked up to me and smiled. "Your about the be a mother. She removed the bottom of the bed and lifted out these foot stools. "Put your legs up there." I did as said. Another nurse came in dressed in scrubs followed by my doctor who was rolling a table with utensils on them.
"Alright Eva. You ready to be a mother." She said raising my bed up a little.
******
Sweat and tear over lapped each other running down my face. My occasional screams filled the room as I cried in pain. Why did this hurt so bad? I just wanted to slap August across the face for getting me in situation. "Eva, I need you to keep pushing?" The doctor encouraged.
"Oh my gosh, I can see the head." Alex said loudly.
"Your doing good." August chanted. "Eva your almost finished." Angel said standing next to me. I could feel myself tearing open which caused me to squeeze their hands.
Suddenly I felt this rush of strength and pushed with all my might. "And here she is. Congratulations." The doctor annouced with the baby cry in the background. I dropped my head back as they cut my umbilical cord. I did it. I made it through labor.

"Here you go. You have a beautiful and healthy baby girl." She handed me my daughter. " She is 7 pound 8 oz. So she's a big girl." She joked. I hel my baby who was asleep. It was love a first sight. To see I created something this beautiful was a unexplainable feeling. "We are about to transfer you to another wing so you can shower really quickly then we can go." I nodded my head and handed my daugther to August as Naomi helped me out of bed.

::August::
After 8 hours of being in this hospital and watching her go through pain I finally got to hold my daughter Armani Marie Alsina. She was the most beautiful thing I have seen. Eva handed her to me before leaving the bed. "Hey pretty girl. I'm your daddy." I talked to her. "Your daddy's little princess and I will not let anybody hurt you. I promise to love and protect you no matter what." I kissed her forehead. "Let me see her." Angel said standing beside me. I held her up som Angel could see her face. "Aww. My littles neice is so pretty." She said looking at her.
- We were in another room that was clean and bigger. Eva was laying in the bed with the baby sleep as we waited for the rest of our families to arrive. "I wanna see my neice where is she?" Callie walked into the room loudly but I quickly shushed her. "Let them sleep." I stood up. She walked over to the bed and looked at Armani laying next to her mother. "She looks just like her." Kylie said as she looked at the baby. "I know." I said as my family sat down. They even brought my mom with them. "So what did you guys name her?" My mom asked. "Armani." I answered. "Thats neat." dad said.
I looked up and seen Eva's family walking in alongside Usher. "Hey." I greeted."Look at her." Amanda said looking at Eva knocked out. I heard the baby crying so I walked over and picked her up letting her mother sleep.

::Eva::
Today was the day I was going to take my baby girl home. After three days in this hosptial I was ready to be in my own bed. I was kind of sad because August had a show tomorrow so he had to leave after we got home but his mother was going to stay with me to help out the baby. WHich was good because I needed help and she needed a place to stay. We were walking to the back of the hopsital with security guards because paparazzi and fans were out front. "Alright Mrs.Alsina. Lets go." Security said after looking around outside. I got out of the wheel chair holding my baby and covering her face. I got into the car and placed her into the car seat waiting inside. The other door opened as August climbed into the car with the diaper bag. We waited for the driver to put the other bags inside annd pull off.
"Babe do you have my phone?" I asked. The last time I seen it was at home. "Yeah here." He said pulling it out his pocket. I turned the phone on and took a picture of Armani sleeping in her car seat.
*Picture Of Armami To The Side*
I smiled at how cute she was and posted it on the instagram account that August's Agents made me create. I put the caption as "The reason we smile. @augustalsina". The picture wasn't even up 5 seconds before I recieved thousands of comments and likes.
We pulled up to the house. I got out the car grabbing my purse and baby bag as August grabbed Armani. He brought her upstairs and laid her on our bed. "Did you change the covers?" I asked while looking for some comfortable clothes. "No, Why?" he answered while emptying the contents from his wallet onto the night stand. "Because they aren't clean and she can't lay on them." He picked her up and walked out the room. I'm amsuming he took her to the nursery. I slid into one of August's white and some boy shorts before taking his suit case out the closet. I hated that he had to leave but somebody need to bring in income. I begin packing his bags when he walked back into our room. "My mama on the way.. Look Eva call me if she gets out of line or anything." he said sitting on the bed. "I'm a big girl. I'm sure I can handle her."
"Come lay with me before I go." He said patting the bed next to him. I got up from the floor and crawled up to him placing my head on his chest. "Whats up?" he asked rubbing my back. "I just don't want you to leave but you gotta work so I get it."
"After one more month. I will be home for three months before my tour. so hang in there." he said kissing my head. "but just know when I get back tomorrow night its gone be you and i." he said grabbing my butt. "mmhmm." I said getting on top of him and kissing him. He put his hands under my shirt exploring my body. He was about to take off my shirt but Armani started crying as the door bell ring. I got off him and went to grab the baby. I met him back downstairs with his mother. "Alright ma, I love you." he said kissing me. "I Love you. Text me when you land." I said holding Armani in my arm. He kissed the back of her head before walking out the door.
"Do you need me to do anything ?" Ms. Lea asked. I nodded my head. "Do you mind cooking something while I feed her?" She nodded her head and headed to the kitchen . I walked up stairs to the nursery and sat to the rocking chair and fed her.
********
I walked down stairs and seen her placing two plates on the table. I sat down followed by her. "This looks good." I was referring to the pasta she cooked that had broccoli, shrimp, and chicken in it. "Thanks." She started eating her food as we sat there in silence. It lasted for about a minute or two before she broke it. "So how long have you known my son ?" I looked up at her not knowing if this was a genuine I wanna get to know me and her son or a petty motive. "Umm we only dated this year." I answered. Now it was my turn to ask her questions that I needed answers too. "I want to ask you something please don't take this offensively. but why did you leave your children like that?" I asked hoping she didn't get upset.

"There's alot more stuff that they aren't telling you and some stuff they just don't know. After the death of my son.." I cut her off. "Wait so you have. Had another son?" I honestly didn't know that. "Yes I have two more sons before August. One has a different father from the rest and I lost my other son.. After his death I was depressed and I could barely take care of my self. Their father and I fought day in and day out and it was so draining. I know thats not a good excuse but they were better off with out me. So I made up this story about meeting someone new." She blurted.

"So why now? Why come back now?" I asked confused. "About two weeks ago I was in my driving and thats when I heard him on the radio. I heard August talking about you and the baby and I knew that I couldn't miss out on my kids having grandchildren and I need to spend the rest of my time with getting them to forgive me."

"What do you mean the rest of your time?"

"The beginning of last year I was diagnosed with ALS . It has already reached the last stage and I dont have much time left and I want my kids to forgive me and make amends before I die." She said getting emotional.

"Have you told them?"

"No. And Please don't tell them either. I don't want them to think they have to forgive me because I'm dying but to really forgive me." She said. It was shocking knowing that I just met her and at any given moment she will be gone again and forever. "I won't tell them." I said.

I heard Armani crying. "Go get her I will clean up the kitchen." She said standing up. "No you go get some rest and I'll get Armani and then clean the kitchen."
