The Santiago Cartel

Eighteen: Lies and Deceit

4 months later...

I was ecstatic when Jenn agreed to moving in with me a month into her pregnancy. We recently found out we were having a little girl. The nursery was decked out in a purple, and champagne colored princess theme. My mom thought the room was too over the top for a new born. However, my little girl deserved the best just like her mother.

Hell on wheels decided to move in with us as well. The doctor ordered Jenn to bedrest, and told her mom to stay away until the baby was born. I heard someone clearing their throat.

"What is it that you need Mrs.Swank?" I questioned, while looking at the stale facial expression she wore.

"Where are the pots and pans, or do you not cook either?" she snarled, while rolling her eyes.

I clenched my jaw while mentally counting to ten. Within the last month I had physically thought of ways I could get rid of her old ass, and not even catching a case for that shit. This lady was beyond psycho, and I be damned if she cooked anything for my baby to digest.

"Boy, I know you heard me." she stated, while tapping her foot. I guess to let me know she was getting impatient.

"Yes, I have everything that is needed to cook a five star dinner. No, your bitter ass isn't cooking for me, or my girls. Furthermore, you are about 2.5 seconds away from me forgetting that you are Jenn mother, and throwing your aggravating ass out the door." I spat, while making my way to the kitchen to prepare dinner.

About an hour into cooking I heard all types of yelling. I turned the stove off and jogged upstairs to our room.

When I got to the door Blue was in tears, and her mom was seething.

"What's the matter baby?" I questioned, while keeping my eyes locked on Mrs. Swank.

Just as Blue was about to talk her mom cut her off.

"She's being a baby because I told her that Emma wasn't a suitable name for a child." she spoke, while wrinkling her nose.

I held the bridge of my nose, and closed my eyes. I was about to speak until I was cut off by the doorbell ringing. I shook my head at Mrs. Swank foolishness.

Once I got to the door and looked through the peep hole I realized it was Mr. Swank. I pulled the door open and we greeted one another with a firm handshake.

"I came to get the wicked witch off your hands. I don't know why she's been so adamant about staying here in Jennifer's hair." He chuckled, while wearing a look of worry.

"What ya mean Pops?" I questioned, while licking over my lips.

"Since she found out Jennifer was pregnant- she's been doing everything in her power to stress the poor girl out, and I cannot understand why." he stated, while rubbing his hands over his head.

I bit down on my bottom lip trying to figure out the motive behind her mom wanting to stress her out. Would she be that damn malicious to want to cause her daughter that type of pain. I shook my head. Her ass may have been rude, but she couldn't be that foul.

We heard a loud thud, and both took off running. All I could think about was making sure Blue was okay.

Mr.Swank saw her first, and immediately slapped the shit out of his wife. I didn't have time to question the reason. All I saw was red when I noticed Jenn in a puddle of blood, and her mom looking guilty as hell.

I grabbed the phone and immediately dialed 911. As I was calling a coffee cup sitting on the nightstand caught my eye. I couldn't and really didn't want to believe the evidence that was all adding up right now.

I was getting pissed because the dispatcher was asking too many irrelevant questions instead of getting here to Jenn. I was about to yell a curse word, but Mr.Swank grabbed the phone and handled it calmly.

"Son, she said check her wrist for a pulse." Mr. Swank yelled out.

I checked all around her wrist, and then held my head over her mouth; I felt again and it was faint. Extremely faint. I felt like I was losing my better half right in front of my eyes. I shook my head because I wasn't giving up on my baby.

"I feel one. Its faint, but it is there Mr. Carter." I stated nearly in a whisper.

Mrs. Swank finally spoke up.

"She asked for something to wet her throat, and she wanted some water. Once that was done she just closed her eyes. She also started complaining of a stomach ache though" She stated, while forcing a few tears to come down her face, and playing with her fingers.

This lady needed a moherfuckin award for this lie she was pulling.

The paramedics finally came in and rushed to Jenn, and started placing tubes and shit. I walked out because I didn't want to see all that. I heard the paramedics asking where did we want Jenn taken to.

"Mount Sinai Medical Center"

They rushed her pass me, and outside. I hit the wall and turned to look at Mrs. Swank.

"On everything if anything happens to Jenn, or my daughter you are going to wish that you never concocted whatever dumb ass plan in your head. They might call my brother the devil-but I'm about to be your worst fucking nightmare!" I spat, while mugging Mrs. Swank.

I grabbed my stuff and rushed downstairs with Mr. Carter right on my heels. Mrs.Swank came trudging downstairs afterwards.

I didn't have time for her shenanigans. I needed to get to the hospital to see if my girls were okay.

***There is a part two to this, but I needed to get the first half out! Do you have any predictions of what Jenn mom could have done to her? Furthermore, I just want to wish you guys a Happy Thanksgiving! My plan is to have the second half up for you guys before Sunday which is when I have to go back to school.😒 Grab your tissues because this might make you a little emotional. Stay Tuned! Carter, Christon, and the nursery are in the m/m-CocaineP 💜 1Love
