"I'm so happy you're okay, mommy. You made me really sad!" Royalty ran over to her and said

"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to." She said and kissed her cheek.

"Hey, love. I couldn't wait until you woke up." I said

"You ready to hold her?" I asked

"Damn right." She smiled and sat herself up

The doctor walked  in just in time.

"Be careful to not bump your stitches, it may hurt." He said

"Where are the stitches at?" I asked

"Her lower stomach."

"And that's called a—"

"C-section. I thought you knew because you didn't question the term earlier." He said

I didn't know that's what it was though, that's what she had in my dream.

The doctor laid the baby on India's chest.

"She has no reason to be this beautiful!" She smiled

"I named her." I joked

"Really? What did you name her?" She asked, though she seemed a bit disappointed.

"Toronto." I smiled

"Chris... why would you—"

"I'm playing." I said and kissed her forehead.

I sat in a chair and watched as India and Royalty interacted with the baby and talked to each other.
It was perfect.

"Did you come up with a name yet?" The doctor asked

India smiled, then looked to me, then looked at her, "Ai'marie Sincere Brown."

"Do you like it?" She asked me

"I love it." I smiled

"Ai'marie it is" the doctor nodded

"Write out the spelling here on this line." The doctor instructed her

"Here's the birth certificate, dad, ready to sign it?" The doctor asked

"Hell yeah!" I said

I signed where I was instructed to and India signed as well.

Everyone eventually came in and we brightened the mood even more by laughing and talking.

"Chris, you came in here high as hell." George laughed

"Hell yeah, I end up smoking right when I got my blunts. I wouldn't have even got high had I knew this was gon' happen, I'm surprised I'm not still high because these were one of the moments I needed to be awake the most." I said

"Yeah, you slept most of it off within those two hours. You was in a deep sleep, we told you India got in an accident and you was worried but you worried yo' self to sleep." He chuckled

"Y'all, I'm starving. I been sitting in that waiting room worried and I done worried myself into hunger— anybody hungry?" Lauren asked

"Starving actually." Rose said

"Yes!" Royalty said

"I want a uh— gimme like a chicken sandwich, wait where you goin'?" George asked

"I'm hungry as well." India said

I didn't speak up because I can get my own food, but plus I didn't have an appetite.

Lauren looked astounded, "I mean I thought maybe Royalty and Indi was just gone say some but since the rest of y'all hungry we might as well all go get something as a group, give Chris and Indi some alone time." Lauren said

"Yeah, you're right." Rose said

"Come on, Ro." Lauren said and took her hand

They walked out and the baby was asleep on India's chest.

"I been waiting to get to you." I said to her

She smiled, "Yeah, I couldn't wait to see you! I had a crazy ass dream, I thought you went to jail and when I woke up I was so relieved." She said

My eyes got big, "Are you serious?!"

"Yeah, is something wrong with that?" She asked

"Yeah, I mean— no! It's just crazy because I had a dream similar."

"That's crazy, when?"

"Today, I fell asleep in the chair while I was waiting on the doc."

"And for some reason I feel like Sabrina did this. Like, I didn't see the car or anything because it hit me in the opposite direction, but in the dream I seen her face and her car, you know, the one she always has." She said

"The black SUV, right?"

"Right."

"This is some supernatural crazy shit, I had the exact same dream." I said

"That's a sign, especially since we both had the dream. I think she may be the one that did it..."

"I know she was." I said

"How are you so certain?" She asked

"She been textin' me from different numbers, stalkin' me, threatening you." I said

India raised her eyebrows, "And when were you gonna tell me this?"

"I mean I didn't wanna stress you while you were pregnant, plus I thought she was just all talk."

"I know Sabrina isn't all talk and I barely know her, so how did you think she was?" She asked

I shrugged, "I don't know..I just did. I thought she just really wanted to get to me. She even texted me today from an unknown number."

"Saying?"

"How's the baby, but knowing her she wasn't literally inquiring about the baby. It meant so much more... wait until Lauren get ahold of her."

"Lauren? You keep forgetting I'm not pregnant anymore and I've been waiting to get to her for a while." She said

I don't like goin off and ranting, but I'm not gone stay silent either.. so excuse me.
