59.

"Black, and it was going really fast." She said

Wow. Dreams can be some decent ass wake up calls.

"Family of India Varma." A Doctor said

Everybody jumped up, especially me.

"What's the word, bro?" I asked

"Excuse me?" The doctor asked

Rose nudged my arm, "How is she? How is the baby?" She asked

"India is asleep, still. She suffered from a mild concussion but she's fine. We had to give her an immediate C-section because if we would've allowed her to wait until she turned another month, the baby wouldn't have made it. The impact of the car sent her into labor as soon as she got hit. But, safe to say you all have a safe baby girl waiting on you. Should we wait until the mother wakes to name her?" The doctor asked

"Yes, please." Rose said

"When can we see the baby??" I asked

"Well, you're the father— I'm assuming, so you can go first. The rest can follow after." The doctor said

I walked alongside him. I couldn't wait to see our babygirl.

The doctor told me some sanitary procedures I needed to do before I held her. I followed his instructions then waited for him to pass her to me.

"I thought she was going to be premature because she wasn't carried to full term— but she's a healthy weight. You have a beautiful babygirl, congratulations." The doctor said as he laid her in my arms

I couldn't stop smiling, I damn near wanted to cry. It felt how it did when I first saw Royalty.

She was asleep in my arms, but it was the best feeling. I searched her face to see who she looked like but I couldn't tell by her features just yet.

She was so lightweight and small, I could stand here forever.

I rubbed her cheeks and spoke a few words to her.

"Yo' mama gone name you a foreign ass name like a Jeep or some shit, but I wanna name you something simple like... Treasure. Too simple though, right?"

I brushed my hand across her cheeks once again.

"We're going to move her in there with the mother now that we got all of her measurements written down. We're going to put her into this bed as we walk down the hall and you can follow behind us, and you can finish your time in there." The doctor said to me

"Okay, cool." I said

I let him place her into the bed and followed him down the hall.

When we walked into the room India was still asleep. My baby, she still looked beautiful. I'm so happy she's okay, and that my dream wasn't real because she was so hurt. I felt the pain for her.

They laid the baby's bed in a far corner and I went over to it and finished holding her. I could do this all day.

Shortly after, Rose and George came in, then when they left in came Lauren, Royalty came in last.

"Look, baby.." I said to her as I kneeled down so she could see her.

She gasped, "She looks like me!" She smiled

"So that means she look like me then." I chuckled

"No, she just looks like me." Royalty said

I laughed, then I heard an extra laugh, I looked over and it was India.
