Lelani's POV
I remember giving up. I couldn't hold in any longer. No matter how hard I tried. I felt my eyes start to get heavy. It felt like I was falling into a deep sleep. The pain, the burning from my stomach went away. I felt so free.
I was awaken by these noises. I saw the doctors trying to work on me. I was looking for Zaire, but I didn't see him. I remember drifting back into the dark. At that moment, I knew. I knew that I wasn't going to make it. It was my time to go. My babies. Oh my God they didn't even have a chance. I should've just kept my mouth shut. My Zaire. What the hell is he going to do without me?? Without the babies???
"Lani." I heard a voice call my name.
The voice sounded so familiar. I just couldn't put my finger on it. It's been so long since I heard it that I forgot. I looked up but it was pitched black. I started to get frustrated because I couldn't see. Then I saw a bright light walking towards me.
"LaLa get up." The voice said again reaching her hand towards me.
"Alani?" I whispered in shock.
"Hey babygirl." My sister said pulling me up.
I couldn't believe it. My sister was here. I had to be dreaming. There she was standing in front of me. My twin sister. I lost my sister when we were 16. We were identical. Wherever Lelani was Alani wasn't that far away. She was killed. Her boyfriend didn't want her to leave him. He was hella abusive and he killed her. Right in the middle of the street. Who the hell does that. Not a day goes by that I don't think about her. I don't like talking about it. It just breaks my heart. I need her in my life. Aside from Zaire she was my everything. Always will be forever and ever.
"Baby, you gotta get up. You have two miracles waiting on you." She said smiling at me.
"Ni-Ni I miss you so much." I replied.
"Your still stubborn I see." She chuckled.
I wasn't really worried about what else she was saying. I was so shocked that she was here. I was standing right in front of my sister. I ran into her arms and she wrapped her arms around me. It's felt just like old times.
"LaLa you gotta wake up." She demanded.
"No, you left me once, I'm not letting you leave me again. I miss you so much." I said tearing up, hugging her tighter.
"Lani I'm always here. You need to wake up now! Our time will come and we'll be reunited again. Baby girl you have people that want to meet you. Get up now!" She yelled.
"I can't. " I whispered.
"Lelani!" Was the last thing I heard my sister yell and then I saw darkness all over again. I heard beeping noises and I started to open my eyes slowly. I tried to sit up but I couldn't. I felt a sharp pain in my stomach. I reached down and felt my stomach. It wasn't the hard ball that I was used to rubbing on. I started to panic.
"Their fine." I heard a deep voice say.
I looked up to see what I think was my doctor. He smiled at me.
"Where are my babies?" I asked him, getting straight to the point.
"Their in the baby ward right now getting checked out. We'll bring them in after we check you out." He replied.
"And my husband?" I questioned him.
"You didn't make it at first dear. Then you just came back suddenly. It's truly a blessing. When we told your husband that your were awake, he passed out. We have him in a another area in the hospital." He replied.
"Will I be able to see him?" I said.
"Yes, just as soon as we are done your examination and running tests." He chuckled.
I just sat back and let them take blood, check my blood pressure, pulse/respirations, etc. I tried to get up but I couldn't. From getting shot in my stomach to having an Emergency C-Section. Lord only knows when I'll even be able to stand up straight.
About a hour and a half later they brought my babies in. Omg they looked so much like me it's crazy. I couldn't help but cry. Here I was trynna be selfish to my own kids because I wanted to stay with my sister. Truth is I'll always be with her and vice versa. No matter what. Right about now I just need to be worried about the twins and my husband.
I was talking to the twins. Getting the info from the nurse learning how to breast feed and everything. I looked up to see Zaire standing in the doorway starring at me. I just stared right back at him. I couldn't move, I couldn't speak. I handed the twins over to the nurse and she laid in their little crib things. (Idk what they call the things they put the babies in at the hospital. )
"I'll give you two some time alone." She said and walked out.
"Hey baby." I whispered to him.
He just stood there.
"I thought I lost you." He finally said walking towards me.
"I'm so sorry bab-" I started to say before he cut me off be kissing me.
"Man Lani I love you so much ma. You are my everything. I don't know what the hell I would've done if I didn't have you anymore. You and the twins. I'm so sorry that I put you through this shit. Never again. I swear to you. I'm done with all this shit, I promise you." He said kissing me all over my face and hugging me.
"It's OK. As long as I got you.I got us that's all that matters. I just want to get away from all this shit Zaire. I love you so much." I replied crying.
He wrapped me into his arms and he hugged me carefully. At this very moment, I knew that everything was going to be OK. That everything was good. As long as I got my kids and him and as long as he gots us that's all that matters. I'm just ready to move on and get away from all if this. Once and for all.
