*Milan

My heart was pounding out my chest as I stared at the empty pill bottle.

I sat the pill bottle back on the table and went in to shake her. She didn't budge, open her eyes or say nothing.

"Zion..." I said shaking her a lil harder

Still nothing.

"Baby please..." I said tears were now falling
"Don't do this to me.."

I turned her over and I heard her let out a snore.

I let out a sigh of relief as my closed my eyes. I dropped down to the floor and cried a lil harder. I heard her move in the bed and she yawned. I quickly wiped my face and my ass started sniffing.

"Baby..." she said softly

I quickly wiped my face again and stood up.

"What you doing on the floor??" She asked looking up at me

"Nothing..." I said softly
"Can I get a hug??"

"Yeah, come here..." she said

I leaned over her and hugged her very tightly.

"Ow Milan..." she said

"Sorry..." I said loosing my embrace

I hugged her for a long time before a tear fell. She lifted me up and looked at me.

"What's wrong??" She asked

She shook my head while looking at her.

"Baby..." she said

"Zion..." I said

"Tell me what's wrong..." she said pulling me into her

"I seen the empty pill bottle when I walked in and how you were laying. You wouldn't wake up. I thought you took all your pills cuz I said I didn't want a baby with you..." I said as more tears came

"Baby no. I was in the shower tryna bathe and my arm started hurting. I went to grabbed the pills to take. They fell over on the bathroom floor, and I took the ones that was left in the bottle. And it's okay if you don't wanna have a baby with me..." she said

"How many was left??" I asked

"Two..." she said

"About the baby, it's not tha—..." I started

"I mean you don't have to explain again. You made it every clear before you left out. We don't have to talk about it again..." she said

Hurt was all over her face when she said that but mask it with a emotion of nothing. Then she looked away from me.

I gently grabbed her face and made her look at me.

"Zion, that question really triggered me and I didn't mean to blow up on you like that or hurt you. I shouldn't have talk to you in that way. I'm truly sorry baby. I didn't communicate what I meant completely. I don't want you to think that I don't ever wanna have a baby with you because I do. But I'm this moment, I'm not ready. In the future I would love to have babies with you, but as of right now, I can't go through that..." I said honestly

She looked in my eyes for a few seconds.

"Okay..." she said

"I'm sorry for the miscommunication..." I said

"Come here..." she said

I moved closer to her. She wrapped her good arm around me and pulled me on the bed. We were facing each other.

"It's okay. I understand..." she said rubbing my lower back

"I love you..." I said

"I love you more baby..." she said

I grabbed her face with both of my hands and kissed her. I pulled away and pecked her lips 2 more times.

"How's your arm??" I asked

"It's better than it was when I was bathing..." she said

"I'm ready to go home..." I said

"Me too..." she said

I reached back and grabbed my phone.

"I'm bout to look for some flights so we can go home..." I said

"Okay..." she snuggling into me

I texted mom and told her I was bout to book us a flight home. I started looking and found some for tomar at 5am. I sent it mom and Terry. I booked Zion and mine. Mom booked hers and Terry booked his.

I laid and hugged up with my baby for a while. She started snoring so I know she was sleep. I laid down a few more minutes before getting up and started to put our things up. I put our dirty clothes in my duffle bag. Left our our hygiene things for in the morning. I got her pain pills off the bathroom floor and put them back in her pill bottle. I put up my hair things, my makeup bag, and my other stuff. I made sure I got everything put up before I got in the tub. Once I got out, I moisturised myself before putting up my body wash and Shea butter up. I took us out some clothes to put on in the morning.

After that, I put our phones on charger and laid down. Zion pulled my shirt to come closer to her. I came closer and she slid her hand under me, inside my pants, and to my ass. Her face was planted in my chest as I rubbed through her hair. I closed my eyes and slowly went to sleep.

___________
4:10am

The alarm went off. I rolled ova and cut the alarm off. Zion pulled me back to her.

"Baby get up..." I said hugging her

"Whyyyyy??" She whined

"So we get on the flight back home..." I said kissing her forehead

"We going home??" She asked

"Yes..." I said pulling the cover off us

I got up and help her up. We went to the bathroom, used it, then did our hygiene things. I helped her out on her clothes then I put on mine. I put the rest of our things up. I was sliding on my crocs when there was a knock at the door.

"Who is it??" I said going to the door

"It's me sweetie..." I heard mom say

I opened the door. Her and Terry came in.

"How you feeling champ??" Terry asked Zion

"I'm fine just ready to go home and get in my bed..." she said
"Baby you got my medicine??"

"Yes I did. I put in in my suitcase last night..." I said

"Uber is down, so come on..." mom said

Terry got our bags cuz he had already took his and mom's. Once he got them in, we got in the Uber, and headed to the airport.
