The Husband

Nineteen

Renee

"Just one more big push." the doctor said. I squeezed Jim hand, yelling as I made the last push. Shortly after, cries filled the room. Jim wiped my head off with a towel.

"You did good baby." he pecked my lips and there Brenden was, wrapped up in a blanket. A soft knock came on the door, and there was my mom, my dad, Sasha, and the kids. I shushed them and they gathered around me. Jim took him before anybody else could.

"Really, Jim really?" Sasha said as I stale faced him. He just shrugged his shoulders and gave him to mommy first. She walked away from us and ran out the door.

"What?!?! Someone stop her!" I yelled as I stood on the bed. Jim and the rest ran outside and I heard the tires peer off in the driveway. They came back empty-handed.

"Sorry, she was too fast." I sat there and weeped. Jim hugged and rubbed my back in comfort.

"We should call the cops." Sasha suggested. I wiped my face and left Jim's embracing arms.

"The cops won't do anything until he is missing for 24 hours." after I said that, flashbacks from when I had the dream about Brianna taking my baby came back to haunt me.

Flashback

"Push ma'am. One more time."

I pushed groaning and gruntly loudly. I was holding Jim hand squeezing it tightly.

"It's a boy."

They took him to clean him up and cut my cord. 5 minutes later, my son came wrapped in a blue cloth.

I took him and seen his gray eyes. Reminded me of my grandfather eyes.

"How come his eyes are gray ?"

"My grandad had gray eyes."

"Oh. Can I hold him ?"

Then Brittany, Ramona, Avery, my dad, Sasha, and my mom came into the room. Wait my mom ?

"Mom ?"

"Hey sweetie."

"You look decent for once."

"Thank you. May I hold him ?"

Jim gave him to my mom without my permission and she held him for 15 seconds.

Then she ran out and everyone ran behind her. I got up and seen them chasing her.

She put him in the car and she drove away too fast. Chris dropped to his knees crying. No not my baby.

End of Flashback

"Jim, remember when I had that dream about her taking my baby?" I said and everybody looked at Jim and waited for his answer.

"Yes and I told you don't worry about her taking him." I hid under the covers and cried. I heard the room door close and felt the bed shift. I turned and was face to face with Jim.

"Come here, Nee." I went to him and silently cried in his chest. "We will get her, okay. We gonna get her." he rubbed my back in circles and I was out after that.

Brianna

"Did you get the baby, Brianna?" Rodrick asked me. We have been plotting this for a while now. He staged the act at the party months ago.

"Here he is." he took the baby and cooed at him. I smiled and he gave him back. I looked down and he was asleep.

"What you want to name him?" I asked, looking at the baby sleep peacefully.

"I want to name him King. So he could be the king of the trap after I die."

"I like that name. King Payne."
