*Saylor started to get fussy*
"Here. You can feed her, I need some air." Odell said walking out.
At the doctors office
"She hasn't stopped crying since she got here. I think she knows dude." Duke said.
"Man shutup. You're an idiot. She's fine.. just sleepy." Odell sighed and said.
"Okay.. who do we have here today?" The doctor said walking in.
"This is Ms. Saylor." Odell said smiling at her.
"Hi Saylor." She said cooing at her. "She's so cute."
"Are you dad?" She asked pointing to Odell. "Or is it you? Or are both of you dad? I don't want to discriminate."
Odell chuckled and said "None of the above. I'm her uncle, her current guardian. This is Duke, also her uncle."
"Okay well it's nice to meet you both. So what are we getting done today?"
"Well we're here for a two month check up but I'm sure y'all gone poke her again."
"You think we like to poke sweet little angels like this one?" She asked tickling her.
"I don't know what to think.. y'all do it so often. Ever since she was born.."
"I know I'm not her normal doctor so let's check her charts... she might be lucky today."
The doctor pulled up her chart on the computer.
"Okay so last month she got her hepatitis, polio, and tetanus. So today she's looking at PCV and RV."
"And that is?"
"Pneumococcal conjugate and rotavirus."
"See I told you man. That's why she was crying."
"No nigga it's past her nap time."
The doctor chuckled and said "I see she was a premature baby so do you guys have any questions before I send the nurse in?"
"Yeah I do actually. You got a number?" Duke asked.
"A number? Like my license number or something?"
"Nah ma like a phone number."
She chuckled and said "Im flattered. Of course I have a phone number but I did mean do you have any questions about her development? If you do you can contact the office and they'll redirect you to me."
"What if I wanted to contact you personally? What's your cell phone number?"
"Oh.." She said chuckling softly. "I'm not looking for anything right now."
"Give me a chance to change your mind. You see what kind of man I am... I'm here at the doctors office with my niece."
"Okay fine.. You can come back after my shift to get the number. If I don't see you then no chance ever."
"Deal."
"Okay. I'll send the nurse in. You guys have a great day."
"You too ma. See you later."
"That's your plan?"
"What?"
"I get everyone grieves differently but this is the eighth girl in two months."
"I know it's been hard since she's been gone but you can't keep hurting these women because your hurt."
"How do you know I've been hurting them? What if we just wasn't compatible? Look man, you got the better end of this shit. You got my niece. All to yourself and she loves you. I don't have nobody. She's gone so don't tell me how to grieve." Duke said sitting back in the chair.
