Annie looked over at Maze and reached out her other hand for Maze to take it. Maze walked over to Annie’s bedside and took hold of her hand.
“Mama, why did you want all of us here?” Maze asked.
“I needed everyone here because there are some things that I need to tell the three of you,” Annie replied.
“Mama, what is it that you need to tell us?” Blaze inquired.
“Maze, I’m sorry that you felt that I loved Kimberly more than you. You are my baby girl and I love you more than anything,” Annie stated.
Maze didn’t know what to say, so she just looked at Annie.
“I love each of you equally. I may not have been the best mother, but I did the best that I could.”
“You were then and now the best mother anyone could have,” Blaze stated.
“I love you, auntie, and I thank you for taking me in when my parents died. If it wasn’t for you, I don’t know where I would have ended up,” Kimberly said.
“Life would have been better for me,” Maze mumbled.
“I wish I would have done things different, because it really hurts me that the two of you are at each other the way that you are,” Annie stated.
“Mama that’s not on you,” Blaze spat.
“It is on me, because I didn’t’ handle things right, but I want to now,” Annie replied as she coughed.
“If they can’t get over whatever their problem is, then mama there is nothing that you nor I can do about it,” Blaze stated.
“It’s some things that you all don’t know, and maybe should have known years ago,” Annie coughed again.
“Maybe we can wait on all this until you get better auntie,” Kimberly said in a concerned tone.
Annie shook her head no, as she tried to stop coughing.
“Yeah mama, let’s wait on all this,” Blaze agreed.
“No, I have to do this now. I have to get this out,” Annie spoke softly.
“What is it mama that you just have to tell us?” Maze asked.
Annie couldn’t say anything because she was coughing so much. She started coughing up blood which caused Miracle to run and get the nurse. When the nurse came in, she rushed over to Annie’s side to help her. The doctor came in and told them that there was really nothing that they could do. It was just a matter of time. Maze was starting to get emotional about her mother’s condition. Miracle tried to comfort her, but Maze really wouldn’t let her.
“I have to tell you something,” Annie blurted out in slightly strong voice.
“What is it mama?” Blaze asked.
Annie asked for Maze, Blaze and Kimberly to come closer and they did.
“Maze, please forgive me for making you feel that I loved Kimberly more, because that is not true. Kimberly please forgive me for not telling you the truth sooner,” Annie stated before coughing again.
“What are you talking about auntie?” Kimberly asked confused.
“I’m your mother. Maze, Blaze, Kimberly is your older sister,” Annie said as she closed her eyes.
“What?” Maze yelled.
“Huh?” Blaze blurted out.
“Say what?” Kimberly spat.
Annie didn’t say anything. She was just lying there with her eyes closed.
“She’s resting,” the nurse said. “The meds we just gave her put her out. You all should come back later.”
Everyone just looked around at each other in disbelief. The words that they had just heard were too shocking.
“I don’t believe this shit,” Maze spat at she stormed out of the room.
“Maze, hold up!” Blaze yelled out.
“I got her,” Miracle stated.
Blaze nodded in a way of saying okay. Kimberly just stood there in shock for a few minutes before she left out the room.
“Kimberly!” Blaze yelled following her out the room.
“Yeah,” Kimberly said turning around to face Blaze.
Blaze wasn’t sure of what to say, but he knew he had to say something. Kimberly just looked at Blaze. She didn’t know what to say either.
“I’ll see you tomorrow cousin I mean…” Kimberly said.
“Yeah.”
Will Maze accept the fact that Kimberly/Kilo is her sister? How is it that Kimberly is Annie’s child? How will Kimberly/Kilo handle the news that she was just given?
