Savior laid his head against the foot of Raseem's bed without a word while Armani soothed Kaori. Both the babies didn't know what had happened but they knew that he was hurt.
Savior was seemingly the most sad due to the fact that Rah had barely said a word since being out of surgery. Raseem ate and sometimes spoke before he returned to silence. Rightfully so, the incident had scarred him and made Armani solidify her promise, she was coming after Officer James and his entire family.
Nasir and Armani had gotten on the phone with the best lawyers in New York—her father, and were working on taking Officer James to court along with the entire police department for emotional distress, excessive force, assault, and lastly defamation of character—since it had been going around that Officer James had been going around trying to slander the names of the Carter family. Armani had calculated her chances in winning along with the recorded evidence footage from Jamarcus and chances came into be a 75% chance. It was rare for Armani's father to lose one of his cases, and she highly doubted that her father would allow the team to lose after they tried to kill his grandson. Thus pushing her chances up to a total percentage of 80 and improving her confidence.
Armani and the family had spent every day for the past week and a half at the hospital with Raseem, and they hardly ever left his side. As expected Raseem had developed PTSD and suffered from nightmares for three nights straight, and protest had broken out all around in the streets.
There had been a total of two riots since the shooting of the boys and three protest day in and day out in the streets of Chicago. The people of Chicago swore there would be no peace, and if justice was not served to the boys, they'd turn the city upside down.
"Momma," Raseem said snapping Armani out of her thoughts making her look over to him.
"Yes baby?" Armani asked making Nasir eyes flutter open and he looked over at the two.
"Morning rah, how you feeling?" Nasir asked stretching his back due to the nonsensical uncomfortable cushion on the hospital couch.
"Im okay, did I have a nightmare again?" He looked over at Armani
"No baby you're getting better, last night was your second night with no night terrors or night mares." Armani smiled at him. "Are you hungry?" Armanis mommy mode activated as she stood to her feet placing Kaori down beside her.
He nodded his head then looked at Savior who was looking at him sad.
"Come on Say, I'm straight, you know they cant take a nigga out that easily." Raseem said attempting to make his little brother feel better.
Savior reached up to be lifted then looked over at Armani almost as if to ask if it was okay.
"Yes baby, just don't move too much." Armani said as she helped him onto the bed.
"Can you bring me some food from somewhere else? That oatmeal was not it yesterday." Raseem made a face at the thought. "Did somebody tell Piphany what happened to me? She okay?"
"Yes baby, Epiphany knows and shes attempted to buy a ticket a total of three times." Armani chuckled. "She said to tell you that she loves you and you got this."
Raseem chuckled feeling around his neck for the familiar chain, he frowned when he noticed it was missing and looked over at the two.
"Oh right, they took it off during your surgery." Armani said as she took the chain out of her purse and handed it to him. "Chickfila right?"
"Yes please." Raseem nodded his head.
"Alright babies, yall want the chicken minis and tators?" Armani asked looking at them nod their heads.
"Shikken minis." Savior repeated making Armani nod her head and grab her bag.
"Kay baby stay or go with mama?" Armani asked looking down at her.
Kaori reached for her signaling that she wanted to go so Armani picked her up and the two left. They took an Uber to and from Chick-fil-A and came back with all the meals. Armani thought about uber eats but she really didn't trust strangers with her food, especially due to the fact that she had small children and anything could get them sick.
Once they got the food, they returned to the hospital room and saw that Aria, Karizzy, Tee tee, and Kamala had joined in visiting. They had visited him three times out of the week.
"I still can't believe the bitch ass police shot my lil nephew." Azari said on the phone with Armani.
"I can't either." Armani shook her head.
"My poor baby," Aria pouted touching his cheek only for him to jerk away.
"Girl get back." Raseem frowned. "Aint you pose to be my cousin."
"If King Von can date his sister, why cant I dare my cousin?" Aria casually said making the family look at her.
"I knew something was gon fuck up in your head when momma dropped you." Tee tee said.
"If that Nichole TV youtubing 101 pound ass can beat bitches ass, what makes my girl unable to beat yours?" Raseem responded making Aria stutter as she thought of a rebuttle.
"Damn girl he said his girl gon whoop yo ass." Karizzy laughed. "You gon get whooped on sis?"
"Hell na she not cause we jump bitches when it comes to family, period." Tee tee said.
"As y'all should but dont be surprised when I lay every single one of yall out coming like you crazy." Raseem said.
"Thats Nasir son for real." Armani heard Monty say in the background.
"Nawl but deadass." Ant agreed.
"And you saying all this from a hospital bed?" Tee tee said making Armani cut her eyes at her.
"Alright now watch it Tee tee, you stay talking like you don't be getting your ass handed to you." Kamala said making tee tee mouth drop.
"You do be getting your ass whooped no cap." Karizzy snickered. "Aint no amount of jumping can stop that whooping, remember when ole girl kicked you in your face."
"Oh shit I forgot about that." Aria snickered. "I was mad they did it but I was even more mad you just laid there."
"Who said that shit bout my nephew? Whoever that was watch how you coming cause I fight kids, preteens, teens, adults, elderly people, and toddlers." Azari said.
"Yeah, dont make auntie have to whoop your ass cause somebody child wanna get slick in the mouth about mines." Armani said.
"Yeah! we jump too." Savior bucked at the three girls.
"This nigga for real my mini me." Chuckled Raseem. "Thank you momma." Raseem said taking the bag of food from Armani.
"Kaori come eat, say come eat." Armani says patting beside her. "Nas heres your bag." Armani held his bag out for him to grab.
"How are you feeling?" Kamala asked Raseem making him shrug.
"Im straight, I just miss my girl and my niggas back in Brooklyn." Raseem said. "This shit fucked up that this happened to us, did somebody go check on LJ?"
"Yeah he's okay." Armani smiled. "His mother is doing much better now that he's up and talking. That cop who did the shit wont be though, I meant it when I said Ill ruin his entire life."
"His kids innocent though, they aint do nothing." Tee tee said.
"I dont care, they came from a trash ass white specimen who tried to kill my son, and now they'll pay for it." Armani said. "I'm coming after the entire family and department and with the evidence and records I have, guaranteed they'll never forget the name Carter."
