Chapter Nineteen

                                                                                       •KANE•

We been sitting in this waiting room for almost an hour and nobody came to tell us anything.

"Bro Ariana is a strong woman she gone make it". Ashton said rubbing my shoulder.

"Where mommy". Iris asked looking from my chest.

"She's getting medicine because she's sick". I said and she nodded laying her head back down.

"Family of Ariana Fletcher". I heard causing me to stand up.

"So Wassup she good right can we go back there". I ask shifting iris to my left arm.

"I'm so sorry we did everything we could there's nothing else we can do". Doctor Myers said with a sad look on her face.

"Come on bro please don't tell me that s**t". I said stepping back.

"Bro pull your self together yo daughter right here man". Ashton said holding my back as I shook my head in disbelief.

"You may go back and see her if you would like". She said before turning around and walking away.

"Look I got her go do what you need to do". He said taking iris from my arms letting her lay her head on his chest.

Nodding I run my hands down my face and walking down the hall to her room. When I make it to her door I hold the knob for a minute before twisting it and walking in. Looking up she looked so pale and peaceful lying there. Taking a seat in the chair by the bed I grab her hand that was turning cold and held it.

"Man Ariana I'm sorry for all the s**t I did to you man I should've never let T'mesha come at you the way she did I should have shown you respect". I said taking a pause when my voice started to crack.

"What am I supposed to tell our daughter man she gone be so confused". I said looking off to the side at nothing in particular.

Hearing a knock on the door I quickly wipe my face and sit up.

"Damn this s**t actually happening". Ashton said walking in staring at her lifeless body.

"You know what this s**t mean right". He asked taking a seat on the couch.

"That nigga dead on my kids". I said shaking my head with a sigh.

"Oh fasho we on his ass". He said nodding when another knock came to the door.

"Hi, we need to know who's going to be taking the baby". The nurse said holding a clipboard.

"I'm his father". I said and Ashton looking at me crazily.

"Great I need you to sign the birth certificate and give this little guy a name". She said just as a nurse rolled in the baby bed.

Taking the clipboard from her I sign my name and gave him the name kaelan before handing her the clipboard back.

"What a beautiful name we already ran his tests and everything he's good to go". She said and I nod giving her the okay.

"Dude you can't be seriously thinking about taking this child in as yo own". He asked as soon as the door closed.

"I did all that bad s**t to Ariana so I want to make it up and give her son a good life". I said staring at him and he looked so much like her but you can definitely tell he was my father's son.

"Do you think he r***d her because I know Ariana and she would not ever f**k him willingly". Ashton said and I nod in agreement with him.

"That's got to be the only explanation but let's get outta here I can't see her like this no more". I said standing up and placing kaelan in the car seat Ari had me go get from her car earlier.

Kissing her lips I then kiss her forehead and place mines onto hers.

"I'm gone take care of him I promise ma and our son gone be good". I whispered before standing up and grabbing his car seat.

Walking out the room I barely got out the room before I broke down in the hallway.

"Bro she wouldn't want you to be crying like this you got to be strong for yo kids man if they see you crying what you think they gone do". He said squatting down.

"I can't handle this s**t man". I said shaking my head.

"Get up and let's go". He said standing up and I do the same grabbing the car seat.

Walking out of the hospital I walk over to her car and lean against it while Ashton buckles the kids in.

"I'll send somebody back to get her car". He said closing the door.

Turning around I place both hands on top of the car putting my head down and when I looked up inside the car there was an envelope with my name on it with a tape recorder beside it. Opening the door I grab the envelope and tape recorder.

"Yo let's go". Ashton said from behind me and I nod getting in the car.

"Where we headed". He asked starting the car up.

"Back to the hotel". I said laying my head back.

~Hotel~

Getting out of the car I put the envelope and tape recorder in my pocket before going to the back and grabbing the car seat while Ashton grabbed iris. Walking in we go on the elevator pressing the button to our floor.

Getting off the elevator I take my room key out swiping it and walking in.

"I'm about to go lay them down". Ashton said and I nod walking to the living room taking out the letter and tape recorder and sitting on the couch.

Opening the envelope I pull out the paper opening it before reading it.

Dear Kane,

If you're reading this I just wanted to say you're a punk ass nigga that need his ass whooped but that's not what these letters about. I wrote this just in case something happened to me. I'm pregnant by your father and it was never consensual he sent a guy my way made me believe he liked me and then he beat me and your dad came and r***d me. About a few months ago he found out where I was and he's been beating me ever since. He's tried to hit iris a number of times but I would never let it happen. I called out for you whenever he would do what he did in hopes that you would be my savior but it didn't work out that way. Why couldn't you just believe me and stick up for me out all the people I thought you would be the one to stand beside me. But enough about me just make sure my kids are straight as a way to repay me for all the f****d up s**t you did to me. The tape recorder has answers to everything you need to know about your dad.

                                                     Much love

                                                            Ariana

Laughing I wipe my eyes putting the letter down before picking up the tape recorder pressing play.

"you're going to have my baby". He said as soon as the recorder started.

"I'm not having s**t you can go back and have a baby with yo wife". She said.

"f**k her I want you I've always wanted you I'm leaving her so that we can be together". He said.

"You remember the day you came to stay the night and Kane forgot to come home and you came over looking for him". He asked causing me to mug the recorder.

"I told you don't bring that s**t up to me again". She said and I heard her voice crack.

"You were going to have my baby you need to hear this". He said.

"I was f*****g thirteen". She said.

"but your body was already ahead of your age". He said and I staring tape recorder.

"Are you f*****g sick in the head or something you kept me in your basement my whole pregnancy after Kane disappeared I even had Iris in there how do you think he's going to feel when he finds out his daughter was born in his parent's basement". She said to him.

"I did what was best for my son". He said and I shook my head not believing what I was hearing.

"AND WHAT WAS BEST FOR HIM HUH". I yelled back and by then the tears were falling.

"HE WASN'T READY FOR A f*****g BABY". He yelled.

"BUT HE WAS READY FOR A BABY WITH THAT b***h". She asked and I leaned back into the couch.

"she's what's best for him and you're what's best for me he's moved on". He said and the recording stopped.

Shit about to get dark...
