The Boy's Children

Chapter 42

Anastasia's POV
"I'm going to sedate her. I called her brother. He's on his way."

I saw them putting something in my IV.

"Look at me. Just keep looking at me. Breathe."

He pressed our foreheads together.

"You're safe. I'm right here. I'm not leaving."

My breathing started to slow down.

"There we go."

He put his hand on my stomach. I winced. He moved his hand over. He started rubbing my stomach.

"It's okay. They're okay. You're okay. The three of you are okay."

I shut my eyes.

"I'll see you when you wake up."

He kissed my forehead. He laid down next to me. I felt him running his fingers through my hair. I started to get cold a bit. He took off his sweater and laid it on top of me. I found his bracelet and started spinning it around his wrist.

Malakai's POV
She's already starting to get a black eye.

My baby...

Someone ran into the room.

"Bro what the fuck?!"

I sat up.

"Shh! She just fell asleep like three minutes ago."

"My mom was here?"

"Yeah."

I explained to him what happened.

"She already has a black eye."

"What?!"

He ran over to the hospital bed. He looked at Anastasia.

"Jesus Christ. Was my dad here too?"

"No."

"I wish you didn't meet Eliza."

"Me too."

I ran my fingers through Anastasia's hair.

"I've never seen her as happy as, she is when she's with you. I-I appreciate it. She's starting to go back to how she was."

I got kicked out of the hospital. I wasn't happy. I walked into my house and saw Roxana with a boy.

"Hey Kai!"

"Hey Rocky. Who's this?"

"This is my friend Parker."

"Be careful with her."

Raven's POV
"YOU CAN'T CATCH ME!"

"YES I CAN!"

I caught up to my daughter and picked her up. She started giggling. Marionette walked out of my room.

"Hey MJ."

"Hi mommy!"

"Hey you two. What're you doing?"

"Nothin. Just running around. How's Ana?"

"Her mom hit her. Malakai got kicked out of the hospital right after Colton got there. My sister has a boy over."

"Oh no. Has Malakai killed this boy?"

"Nope. He actually didn't. He warned him to be careful with her. That's all. He doesn't seem like him."

"Really?"

"Yeah."

"He's probably worried right?"

"Yeah."

We went to check on Malakai. Novalyn immediately ran over to Simba. She started petting him. Malakai ran downstairs. He started hugging Marionette.

"I'm so worried!"

"I bet."

He was freaked out until, Anastasia went home. He was more happy. He basically went back to normal. I finally found courage to ask Onyx this one question.

Okay.

Just walk up to him.

Just say it.

Don't stress.

Her father is just 6'4 and 230 pounds.

It's fine.

It's okay.

I took a deep breath.

"Hey Nyx?"

I started walking around. I found him outside playing basketball with Roxana and her friend Parker.

"H-hey Onyx? C-can I ask you something?"

He walked over to me.

"You look like, you're about to throw up. You good?"

"I-I really love your daughter an-"

"Fine. Break her, and I break you. Got it?"

"Y-yes sir."

"Alright. Welcome to the craziness that's the Jericho family."

"T-thanks."

"Hey Ven! Wanna join?"

I went over to them and started playing basketball with them.
