Breakin Me Lovin Me

33

My alarm went off reminding me that I had an appointment with my lawyer. I felt a small, warm body clinging on to me.

I look over and see little Aiden sleeping soundly.

I get up and I get dressed for my meeting. I head to his building that he gave to me.

I drive for about 20 minutes and finally get there. I park in the parking lot. I get out and walk into the fancy building.

Everybody is walking in a rush, trying to get their business done for the day. I walk towards the receptionist.

"Hi." I announce.

"Hi dear. How May I help you?" A sweet old lady asks.

"I was wondering what floor Mr. Hoginak is on?"

"He'll be on floor 7."

"Thank you. Have a nice day."

"You too darling." She says while answering phone.

I head into the elevator and press floor 7. Once I get there I walk in and just look for his name or something that tells me where he's at.

"May I help you?" A gorgeous, blonde, skinny women asks.

"Do you mind telling me where Mr. Hoginak's office is?"

"I don't at all. Here, follow me." She says and turns around.

We walk for about 45 seconds and come to a door.

"He's in here. I'll let him know you are here."

"Thank you."

She nods and walks in.

I hear some words being conversed and she comes out.

"He's ready for you."

I nod my head in appreciation and she does the same.

I walk in and see him on the phone. He looks up and gives me a finger. Then he nods towards the chair in front of his desk.

I sit down and grab all of my papers that will be needed for this meeting.

"Sorry about that. How are you doing today, Ms. Davis?"

"I'm doing okay. I just want to get this over with and continue with my life."

"I understand. Do you have all necessary paper work and evidence?"

"Yes, sir I do." I hand him the paper work and he sits and goes through it for about 10 minutes asking questions here and there.

"Okay, I think we can build a strong case here. Especially with the picture evidence and the doctors evaluation."

"Yeah? Do you think we'll win?"

"Definitely, but we still have to come prepared for any hind sets that they might throw at us. I understand that he has connections with the police force?"

"Yes, he does. Only because he is in a gang."

"That could cause some problems but I know people too. Donald is also in the police force and I can get some evaluations from his past work and current about who he is as a person. That can be a benefit towards your case."

"Okay."

"Alright. I think I have everything to continue. I'll be contacting you here and there for some information, but other than that you are free to go. I will keep you updated about any upcoming events."

"Thank you for your time. I really appreciate it."

"Oh no worries. This is my job, I'm glad to help." He stands up and I do the same and we shake each other hands. Then say our goodbyes.

As I get in the car to head to get some lunch I get a call.

"Hey Don. Everything okay?"

"Get to the hospital as soon as possible."

My heart stops when he speaks that sentence. I think of the worse and I can't think that way right now. My hands start to shake and my vision gets blurry.

"Faith?! Fayth can you hear me? Are you there?!"

"Ye- yeah. I'm here." I say shakily.

"I'll be there in 5." I say and we hang up.

This can't be happening. What will I do with Aiden? How am I going to tell him his father died protecting me? So many questions and not enough answers.

I can't keep living like this. It hurts too much.

I pull into the parking lot of the hospital and rush inside. Already knowing what floor he is on. I head straight up with my mind focused on one thing.

Him.

I get to his room and I stop in front of the door. I can't make myself go in. My heart rate increases and I start to shake again.

I have to go in. There is no other way.

I slowly walk in and see Don sitting in the chair. He looks up and smiles at me.

I thought it was a pity smile but as I turn and look at Marcel I see his eyes.

His eyes!

Oh my god! He's up! He's out of his coma.

"Oh my god! Marcel, are you okay?" I rush over to him and start checking him over like thousand times before.

"Yes, I'm fine. How are you sweetheart?" He asks while gripping my hand and with a heart warming smile.

"Me?! No! How are you?"

"Like I said I'm fine. You?" He says with a smirk.

"I'm fine. I just really missed you. I have so many things to tell you."

"I would love to hear it. Just not here." He shakes his head.

"Yeah of course."

"How's Aiden? I miss him so much."

"He's okay. It was hard for him at first, but I've been keeping him busy."

"Thank god. And the baby?"

"Oh she's good. Doc said she's healthy." I said while rubbing my stomach.

"That's great. Can't believe you are due in the next 2 months."

"I know. Can you believe it? My emotions are every where at the moment."

"Understandable. When do I get out?"

"We don't know the Doc has to check you up first." Don says.

Marcel shakes his head and looks at me again with a smile on his face.

"I can't believe you're here." Marcel says.

"I'll always be here no matter what." With that he looks at me and we understand each other. I grip his hand harder.

"Can I get in bed with you?" I ask him.

"Yes, of course." He moves over just a little since he did get shot in the abdomen.

I lay my head down and take in this moment. As of now, everything is going as planned. Marcel and my baby are healthy. Lamonte is going to trail and hopefully jail. Aiden is Aiden, carefree and loving. My life couldn't get any better in this moment.

I listen to his breathing and feel his hands on my lower back, rubbing me slowly. I take in his hospital scent and I dose off to his deep but weak voice conversing with Don.

Lovelies! Oh my gosh! Did you think Marcel died? You would've hated my guys.
