Making It Work

Chapter Eleven~ Tears

11.

I woke up to beeping. I had a cuff on my arm that was taking my blood pressure. I was awake but I didn't want to open my eyes. I don't want to see what happened after I fell asleep. I'm so scared. I promise if the baby died I will never forgive myself or try to get pregnant again. I opened my eyes when I heard the door open. My hands went straight to my belly and it was still hard. I looked at the person coming in and it was Marcello, Mamma J and Nana. I was so happy to see her.

"Goodness, Bea I haven't heard from you in weeks. Then, Marcello calls me and tells me your in the hospital. Don't ever not contact me for that long again, you hear me?" Nana chastised me. I smiled at her because I appreciate her concern very well.

"Who is this woman?" I heard my mother in law ask me. Nana shot her a glare and hey both exchanged looks.

"Jocelyn, nice to see you again." Nana told her and mamma J smiled.

"Is that you Nyla?" Mamma J said and they ran to each other and began hugging and moving side to side.

"Oooh girl you got skinny!" Nyla squealed to mamma J. Mamma J pushed her playfully. It was so nice to see the two supportive women in my life know and get along with each other.

"How do y'all know each other?" I asked them and they smiled. They looked at each other like they didn't know how to tell the story.

"We both went to the same college together." Mamma J said. I nodded while Marcello looked confused. He sat on my bed and rubbed my feet. I laid my head back and held in the moans. Feet rubs feel so good when you're pregnant. It doesn't matter how many months pregnant you are.

"Mamma I didn't know you went to college." Marcello said and I opened my eyes. She shrugged.

"That's where I met Mark's father. Then when I found out I was pregnant I dropped out." She told told he nodded. I sat up but Marcello turned around and gave me that don't move look.

"Am I still pregnant?" I whispered to him and he kissed my lips. That made me worry that I wasn't. Tears fell out of my eyes. I began to sob.

"Ssssh baby, why are you crying? " I looked down at my belly and caressed it. He put his hand over mine . Then he kissed my belly. I saw him through teary eyes. I felt like a mess.

"I thought of names, Bea. I know it's a boy." He said and I felt giggly. When I get happy I get giggly.

"What if I wanna name her?" I told him and he shook his head. He wiped my eyes and kissed my lips.

"Stop calling my son a girl." He told me and I rolled my eyes.

"Why does it hurt ?" I asked him and he sighed. He rubbed the back of his neck and looked at me like he was sad.

"You had a cervical polyp. They removed it and they said it should heal fine. The baby was unaffected during the surgery. They did an ultrasound and the baby is fine and growing perfectly." He told me that mouth full. I looked up at the ceiling and thanked God for keeping my baby safe. I sighed happily.

"I'm gonna go and tell the doctors you're ready to go." He told me and I nodded. I can't possibly go home today I just had surgery.

"You had outpatient surgery. " Mamma J told me and I nodded. I laid back in the bed and rubbed my belly. I can't wait to meet my baby.

"I told you, you're in love already." Nana told me and she placed a hand on my belly. I smiled at her and rolled my eyes. She was always right no matter how many times I tried to prove her wrong she always was. The door opened and in came my hubby and my doctor, Gina.
