“How are you doing?” Déjà asked kneeling down next to Jade.
“I feel like somebody is ripping out my insides,” she said wiping sweat off her face with the back of her hand.
“Jay what did the doctor say?” Déjà asked.
“They said not to bring her in until the contractions are five minutes apart” he answered pacing back and forth.
“How far are they?” Déjà asked, looking up at Jay.
“Quit pacing boy and sit down,” demanded Déjà.
“They were nine minutes apart,” he said stil pacing.
“Let’s time them again,” Xavier said, looking at his watch.
After timing them again, Jade’s contractions were now six minutes apart. “That’s close enough, let’s go!” Xavier and Jay said in unison. They arrived at the emergency room at 4:30am. Xavier and Déjà said they would wait in the emergency room with the Rivera’s and the Jones’s who were already there waiting when they arrived.
After checking Jade’s cervix and estimating that she was about seven centimeters dilated she was transferred to a private room in the birthing center. After another five hours she was stil seven centimeters dilated. Jay had never been so scared in his life. He sat in the corner of the delivery room next to her bed. Jade was throwing things at the nurses. She never thought anything could be this painful.
“Jade we need you to push,” said the nurse while checking the heart monitor.
“I’m trying!” Jade screamed at the nurse.
“Baby, just push” Jay said from in the corner next to her bed.
“Shut the hel up, you push!” Jade yel ed at Jay.
“Jade look at the baby’s heart rate,” said the nurse, showing her the heart monitor. “The baby’s heart rate in fluctuating and that’s not good.”
“I’m trying to push!” she cried out.
“Push on your butt like you’re having a bowel movement,” said the nurse, checking for the baby’s head, “I can feel the head mama.”
Jade tried pushing for what seemed like forever but nothing was happening. Jade had gotten so frustrated that she snatched out her IV. Blood shot out her hand. Jay was trying to be supportive, but Jade began cursing him out and hitting at him. When he tried to touch her, she would push him away. The nurse reinserted the IV then left the room.
“What is taking so long to get this baby out of me?” Jade screamed through a contraction.
“Only way we can get the baby out is if you push,” said the nurse.
“Can’t y’al use those things that pul the baby out?”
“We only use those if we need to and you don’t need them. You’re ful y dilated, so we just need you to push.”
“I can’t!” she screamed through another contraction.
A door on the side of the room opened. About five doctors began pouring into the room including her Doctor.
Doctor Patel came over pul ing a cart that carried a lot of sharp objects. The nurses took off the bottom half of the bed and told Jade to scoot to the end of the table. They propped her feet up and raised the table so that she would be in the air. Jay was now petrified. He had no clue as to what was going on. Dr. Patel covered himself in blue gear with the help of the nurse. He picked up a syringe with a long needle attached to it. He stuck her in her vagina area with it and she didn’t budge. He stuck Jade with the needle about 12 times. Jay was stil at her side.
“Aw, hel no,” Jay said when Dr. Patel picked up a long blade and went toward Jade private area with it. The nurses laughed at him. A few minutes later the nurse was holding a sweet baby girl.
“Where is the dad?” asked Dr. Patel, looking around the room.
“He was about to pass out, so he asked if he could step outside the door,” said the nurse that was cleaning the baby.
Jay must have heard the sweet sound of his baby girl. He came walking through the door. The nurse took the baby over so he could see her. He was looking and talking to his daughter when he looked up and saw the doctor pul some kind of bloody bag out of Jade.
“What the hel is that?” said Jay. “Man, let me know when y’al done,” he said, stepping back out in the hal .
Jade fel right to sleep after Doctor Patel sewed her up. She had twenty one stitches and was unable to sit up straight up for about a week. Jay felt so sorry for her. He wanted her to have his baby, but he didn’t know it would be like that. He hated to see her in pain; he was real y hurt to see her hurting and there was nothing he could do to take the pain away. Jade said she didn’t want any pain medicine, but she ended up getting statol which made her drowsy. She stayed in the hospital for two days before being released with strict rules so she wouldn’t irritate her stitches.
~TWENTY-FIVE~
Déjà hadn’t been home in weeks other than to check her mail. She was spending the day with Jeremiah while Xavier attended a business meeting with a possible buyer for the barbershop. She took him to the park and out for ice cream. Jeremiah loved being with Deja.
“So what do you want to do now?” Déjà asked Jeremiah taking a seat on a park bench.
“Um, I don’t know,” he said licking his ice cream cone.
“You know that new kid movie is out, do you want to go see that?” she asked.
“Are you my new mommy?” he asked Déjà ignoring her question.
Déjà was caught off guard. “No baby, your mommy is Latasha and no one can change that,” she said.
“I don’t want her to be my mommy, I want you to be my mommy” He said with his head hung.
“Why would you say that, Jeremiah?” she asked picking him up and sitting him on her lap.
“She never take me anywhere like you do, she be having scary men over at our house and they be mean to me. She be leaving me in the house by myself, and sometimes when I tel her I’m hungry, she would hit me and tel me to get out of her face,” he said hanging his head again.
“She said she didn’t want me and it was my fault that daddy don’t live with us,” Déjà just sat and listened, “When I say I want my daddy, she would start saying a lot of bad words,” Déjà was now in tears. “I want you to be my mommy; I want to live with you and daddy. Can you be my mommy, please?” Déjà hugged him and told him everything wil be okay. She was heartbroken.
He fel asleep on the ride home, so she dialed Xavier.
“Hel o,” he answered
“Hey babe, are you stil in your meeting?”
“Oh no, I just finished up.”
“Where are you now?” She asked with sadness in her voice.
“On my way home, is everything okay?” He asked hearing the hurt in her voice.
“No, baby I just had a talk with Jeremiah and I’m annoyed about what he told me. I’m close by the house, so I’l talk to you about it once I get there.”
“Okay I’l be there in a few,” he said.
“Okay, bye.”
“One,” he said hanging up.
Xavier was outraged about what Déjà had told him about Latasha. “He isn’t going back” he said.
“If I have to hire a nanny to tend to him then I wil , but he isn’t going back over there. Déjà had tears in her eyes wondering who can mistreat their own child because of a failed relationship with the father.
“She is his mother Xavier. They’re not going to just let you take him without taking her to court,” She said trying to make him think this out, “I don’t want to get in the middle because I’m just your girlfriend, but I love him as if he was my own child, so I’m taking this just as personal.” She said leaning against the dresser.
“Xavier he begged me to be his mommy; I did not know how to respond to that without breaking his heart?” she said.
“Aw, he’s attached to you!” he said, hugging her and kissing her on the forehead, “Thanks for being there for him. I had no clue he was being mistreated by that trick, but I be damn if I sit back and let it happen.”
“What are you going to do?”
“Honestly, I don’t
know, but I do know that he isn’t going back with her.”
“Wel , I need to get home to finish up some paperwork, but I have an idea,” she said, kissing him. “You know situations like this, is what I do for a living. Let me see what I can do. I’l cal you later.”
~TWENTY-SIX~
Jade and Jay had been in the house since the birth of their daughter Jania. Jay and Xavier invited the girls out for open mike night at the club. Jade and Déjà were hanging in one of the VIP booths when two women walked over and took a seat next to them. They were talking about fucking some dude and how he made her cum al over herself.
“He wil never get enough of this pussy…I let him hit this shit just last night,” said one of the girls.
“Women now-a-days have no self-respect,” Déjà said whispering in Jade’s ear.
“What are you talking about?” asked Jade in a whisper.
“These two ladies sitting next to me,” she said, leaning over toward Jade.
Jade looked over at the two women, “oooh, I’ve been looking for this bitch!” Jade said, taking her earrings out and sticking them in her handbag.
“What?” said Déjà. “Who is that?” She asked.
“That’s that bitch Mona that had her little brothers run up in my house. The same bitch that spray painted ‘Bitch’
on my damn door,” she said.
“I sure did and I’l do it again!” said the light skinned chick with fire red hair.
“Yeah and next time your ass wil end up six feet under just like your little brothers,” Jade said, getting up in the girl’s face.
Déjà stepped in the middle of the two, pushing Jade back into her seat. “This bitch wil get hers. You just had a baby, relax.”
“Bitch, who you cal ing a bitch?” she said, walking up on Déjà. When Déjà turned around Mona punched her square in the face. Jade jumped up and went Holyfield on Mona. Déjà and Jade kept kicking and punching her in the face and upper body until security lifted them both in the air.
They were stil kicking and fighting. By the time he got to the elevator to send them upstairs to Jay’s office, Xavier and Jay were exiting.
“What the hel happened down here?” Xavier asked looking at the girls, the bouncers Smoke and Bear.
“Your girls were over in VIP stomping the shit out of some broad,” said Smoke.
“Mona bitch ass…she had the nerve to bring ass up in here after what she did,” said Jade.
“Mona?” said Jay.
“Yes, Mona!” said Jade.
“Yo, Smoke, where that bitch at? I’ve been looking for her,” Jay said checking his clip.
“That’s the chick that was responsible for them motherfuckers running up in my crib.”
“Oh yeah!” said Smoke now making sure his clip was ful .
“Take them upstairs and don’t let them leave,” Xavier said to Bear.
Mona was stil wiping her face when she came out the ladies room. She froze when she seen Jay, Xavier, and Smoke leaning against the wal holding their pistols.
“I have nothing to do with this,” her friend said brushing pass them. Jay grabbed Mona by her hair and dragged her into the backroom.
“So what, your punk ass going to kil me in your own damn club?” she said with a devilish smile plastered on her face, “You’re dumber than I thought!”
That pissed him off. He popped out the clip and pistol whipped her. She cried out in agony.
“You hit like a bitch,” she said spitting out blood.
“Oh yeah!” he said. “You tuff huh, I guess I underestimated you” he said laughing. He knew there was one thing that used to make her cringe.
“Smoke, word on the street is that you have a colossal piece on you,” he said staring at Mona.
Her face turned red because she knew where Jay was going with this. He knew she fucked with a lot of dudes, but one thing she couldn’t handle was taking it up the ass.
“Wel man I don’t want to toot my own horn, but beep…beep,” Smoke said giving daps to Xavier who was getting some rope. Jay snatched her by the arm and bent her over a table. She tried fighting him off, but he overpowered her. Xavier tied her legs to the legs of the table then tied her hands. She screamed out so that people could hear her but the room was total y sound proof.
What she didn’t know was that there was steel behind the drywal . Jay lifted her skirt and smacked her plump ass.
“Aight Smoke, go head dawg, tear that asshole up!” Xavier said. She was screaming and crying at the top of her lungs when she saw what Smoke was working with.
She had never seen a dick so big. Jay snatched her panties off.
“This is what you sent your brothers to do to my girl, so let’s see how you like it.”
“You could have kil ed my unborn child. You couldn’t possibly think I’m going to have any sympathy for you!” he said in an irate tone. She was trying to kick, but her legs were tied tightly.
She began screaming when she felt his extra-large penis on her asshole. He was about to enter her anus when she started begging for forgiveness and crying.
“I’M SORRY JAY PLEASE, DON’T DO THIS
PLEASE, PLEASE” SHE YELLED.
“Why should I stop my man here from making you use a shit bag for the rest of your life?” he was now in her face.
“I’m sorry Jay, I’m so sorry, I wil leave town you’l never have to see me again I swear…please!” she begged.
Jay and Xavier laughed.
“A’ight Smoke you can put it away dawg, I think she got my drift,” Jay said tapping Smoke. She was hysterical but relieved.
“Don’t bring your ass back in my club,” Jay said pushing her out the back door.
Xavier and Jay were laughing so hard at Mona as they rode the elevator up to Jay’s office.
Jay walked over to Jade and kissed her.
“Why are you down there fighting and you just had a baby?” Jay asked while nibbling on her neck.
“I owed her one that’s why?” She said rubbing his neck.
“Let’s go to my office and give them a little privacy,” Xavier said taking Déjà’s hand. As soon as they stepped on the elevator Xavier began gril ing Déjà.
“What happen to your face?” He asked referring to a bruise of her left cheek.
“That bitch swung on me. That’s why she ended up with a wel whooped ass,” she said.
“Yeah, y’al fucked her face up!” he said pul ing Déjà close to him.
She tongued him down causing him to instantly get a hard on. Xavier pushed the stop button on the elevator.
“What are you doing Xavier?” she asked with a smile plastered on her face.
“What do it look like?” Xavier said pinning her against the wal while tongue kissing her neck. Xavier lifted her skirt over her hips and pul ed off her black thong. Déjà screamed out in ecstasy when she felt his hot tongue on her clit. He prompted one leg up on his shoulders and stuck his tongue deep inside her.
“I’m…cuuuumming…babe,” she said trying to put her leg down but he had a tight grip on her thighs. Déjà’s body was vibrating uncontrol ably by the time Xavier released her from his treacherous tongue. He turned her around so that she would be facing the wal and stuck al nine and a half inches in with one thrust. Déjà moaned “aw baby…slow…down!” she said through moans.
“Take it baby…Take that shit,” he said going in deeper. “I’m. Cuuummming” she sang out as he pounded against her g spot. “Come with daddy!” he said into her ear as their bodies began to tremble. They both fel to the floor breathing hard and unable to move. Déjà had never cum that hard, her body was stil trembling. Xavier hit the emergency release button as he heard his office phone ringing. As soon as the doors opened, he helped Déjà over to the sofa then answered the phone.
“X Spot,” he answered into the receiver.
“What?” He yel ed into the phone startling Déjà, “I’l be there in twenty minutes,” he said hanging the phone up.
It was just pass 10pm when Xavier and Déjà arrived at his parent’s house. There were two squad cars parked in the driveway next to Latasha’s Chevy Impala. They rushed into the house damn near knocking down one of the officer’s. Jeremiah was crying and hiding behind Mrs.
Jones. He ran over to his daddy when Xavier came through the front door.
“Daddy, please don’t make me go with her,” cried Jeremiah, hugging his father tightly.
“You and this bitch done turned my son against me!” Latasha screamed, trying to snatch Jeremiah out his arms.
“No, Daddy. I don’t want to go,” he cried, holding on tighter. “I want to stay with you and Déjà.”
“Give me my son!” Latasha yel ed at the top of her lungs, pul ing him once again.
“You better let him go before I knock your damn head off!” Xavier said through gritted teeth.
“Okay that’s enough guys,” said the black cop while separating Latasha from Xavier and Jeremiah.
“Officer, she been gone for weeks,” said Déjà rubbing Jeremiah’s back, “She hasn’t cal ed or anything.
She’s using this baby to benefit herself.”
“Bitch shut the fuck up! This has nothing to do with you,” she said walking toward Déjà, “You took my man, but you wil never take my son.”
“I’m not your man,” Xavier said, handing Jeremiah to Mrs. Jones.
“I see what this situation is al about, but we can’t stop her from taking him unless y’al have some kind of paperwork showing guardianship,” said the white cop “Do y’al have that?”
“No, we don’t!” Xavier said with anger.
“Wel , I have no choice but to give him to her.”
“Now, I have things to do so let’s go Jeremiah,” she said snatching him out of Mrs. Jones arms.
Déjà and Mrs. Jones were in tears as Latasha carried a screaming Jeremiah out the house. Xavier was furious. He began gnashing his teeth. That was something he did when his blood was boiling. Jeremiah kicked and screamed as Latasha put him in the car. She turned to the family that was standing on the porch and stuck up her middle finger with a devilish grin on her face.
“You know man, I’ve seen this a mil ion times in the last twenty years I’ve been on the force,” the black officer said approaching Xavier, “get you a good lawyer, and get your son man.”
