(Chapter 16)(just in time)

(BG's p.o.v)

Momma called me I picked up
She told me to hurry to the hospital as fast as I could and that journey needed me.
What the hell had happened I was scared to death .
I was at the hospital now and I ran to the front desk,
"Journey Kidd". I say .
"Two floors up, room 324
Delivery ". She says.
"And you must be Brantley, congratulations ". She says.
"Thank you". I say confused.
I hurried to the elevator went two floors up and found room, 324.
I burst in.
Mom rushed over. "Shhh quiet dear you'll scare them". She says. "Scare who?" I say.
I walked further into the room and saw Journey sitting there in the hospital bed with two babies in her arms.
"What, but you, huh?" I stuttered. She laughed.
"Their yours, it was the surprise , or surprises." She says. Her eyes fell to the one that was unmoving. Tears started to fall.
Mom was crying now .
I took the moving one. "That's your daughter". Mom says. She was pretty but I feared for the other. "And this was your son". Journey says her tears falling onto the stillborn baby's face.
My heart hurt for my son.
I sat down in the chair holding my daughter.

It's been a while I had laid my daughter who we had named Laken in the baby cradle thing that the hospital provided. I looked at my stillborn son that we had laid in his little cradle. I sighed. We had named him anyway. Ryder, that was his name. I had prayed to god the moment I held my unmoving son. For him to live, but maybe god had something in store, he knew how to do that to me. Mom had went to get some food cause Journey had refused to eat, but needed food in her system for Laken.
Journey was asleep, she was exhausted . She slept. I watched Ryder. I saw his lip move. My heart started racing.
He moved his nose. Then his chest began to rise and fall.
He was breathing !!!
Thank god. I woke Journey.
"Baby Ryder's alive !! " I say. She smiled. I scooped up my son and handed him off to his mother. She kissed him, "you are just like your daddy scared me to death, thank god your okay." She breathes. Thank god. I kissed her.
Laken started to fuss. I picked her up. She was as beautiful as her momma but had my green eyes. And Ryder looked like me, the poor thing, but had those pretty brown green eyes of his momma.
"I'm sorry I missed their birth, ". I say to Journey. "No, you came just in time". She says snuggling Ryder. Yeah he was gonna be a momma's boy , big time.
