My eyes slowly opened making me look and adjust to my surroundings. My face scrunched up. Ion get it. Lincoln Blvd. "Bout time ya big doofy ass woke up."I heard an all to familiar voice making me turn my head.
"Pimp?" I asked in surprise. He smiled putting out his blunt on the roof of my car. I smiled widely by it quickly faded once I realized he was dead so that meant had to be to.
"Chill lil nigga you ain't dead yet."He said helping me up. "I would ask if this was heaven but I know god wouldn't let you smoke up there."He laughed. "You bout dumb as shit."He coughed making me laugh with him.
"Nah my nigga this...is the after life.You forgot we gonna wait for Jesus to come back from his baecation before we can go up there."He rolled his eyes making me do the same and huff. The game I was played by.
He laughed. "Aye at least that means I'm not going to hell...yet."He said making me laugh. I suddenly got a sharp pain in my side making me hiss and hold it.
I began to panic as I felt my now flattened stomach. "Where's my-" "Chill he straight."He said pausing immediately afterwards. The smile on my face became so wide I could barely see.
"It's a boy."I squealed. He cursed under his breath as he rubbed the bridge of his nose. "Look I ain't say shit and I'm not confirming shit."He said as I jumped on him giving him a big ass hug. "You gave me enough information."
He chuckled softly as I got off of him. "Aye hold on to that joy. That motivation is what you need to get outta here."He said getting serious. I nodded.
"I'm serious nick he needs you.. they both do."He said the last part a little more softly. I looked him in his eyes absorbing the emotion then looked down.
"Come on we got somewhere to be." He patted my back and began to walk ahead making me follow.
Omniscient
"How's it coming along sir?"A resident asked. "Almost done but he needs blood stat."The head surgeon said carefully closing the wound around mirs uterus. "Patient's O negative...sir."The circulating nurse hesitantly said.
Then entire operation had gone successful except for the fact that he was losing blood by the pint. O negative is a rare blood type and can be given out to any other blood type,but can only receive the same specific blood type.
The doctor began to semi panic. "If he doesn't get that blood within the next 72 hours both him and that child will die."A moment of silence corrupted around the room as the head nurse and surgeon shared a look of communication. The doctor nodded and picked up his tools once again to finish closing up the wound.
Once he finished he began to wipe his hands. "You two, make sure his vitals are regulated and move him up to room 103 on the second floor."He said pointing to two residents. "Get me his parents records of blood work and check all banks to see if there's any that can be shipped right away."He ordered. Taking a break from his straight 5 hour surgery.
Every body started to scatter around doing everything in their power to tend to the boy who was low on blood.
•back in the waiting room•
All of their heads picked up as soon as he said Mirs name and they quickly walked up to meed the doctor.
"He just finished surgery but he needs a blood transplant badly. The problem is he has a rare blood type. Now, my team is checking every blood bank in this county but I checked the parents blood records and his fathers a match."
Tay and his mother in law, O'shai(Ohh-Shay) shared looks. Hers looked more of panic because she knew her sons father didn't want anything to do with him or her so why would he give his blood up? "What about the baby?" Zion spoke.
"Well he's 12 weeks pregnant and luckily when he was shot the child moved out of the way so he wasn't affected-" "He?" Tays face lit up and he smiled from ear to ear.
The doctor smiled lightly and nodded. "We took a blood test to determine his gender but we will also take a ultrasound to see if he has the same condition as his farther."
"Though we did find some female hormones in his blood stream, it could be because of his fathers female and male hormones."He spoke lowly about the subject because he knew it was rare and sensitive.
They both nodded. "If we can't get the blood..how long does he have?" His mother asked softly. She didn't even want to say those words but she knew there was a 90% chance he wouldn't give the blood.
The doctor sighed. "Roughly...about 72 hours."Shai's heart dropped as she shook her head. Tay rubbed her back pulling her closer to him. He refused to give up on his lover and child. He didn't care if the man refused, he was gonna make him give up the blood dead or alive.
"He's in room 103 on the second floor when you enter you'll have to be very quiet because he may react to any noise and it will throw off his vitals. We'll check up on him every two hours and fill you in on the progress."They all nodded.
Back to Nick
"How long until we're there."I complained rolling my eyes. We were walking through a deep ass corn field. It lowkey scared me. He laughed.
"Chill we here."As if on cue I looked up and it was a house. A white one with a fence around it and a pretty garden on the side. There were flowers all over the place giving off a warm and comforting vibe. I looked around. The corn field still endless making me scrunch my face up in confusion.
He started to walk through the little gate that bonded the fence together so I followed. "Maaaa!"He yelled as soon as we walked in. "Oh yeah I forgot she died."I mumbled softly.
"Boy quit all that yelling and come get you something to eat."She yelled back. He smiled and began to follow her voice so I followed him.
We went to the kitchen. She was a young woman dressed in 90s attire with a bandanna tied on her head. When she saw me her light hazel eyes brightened along with her smile. Her skin was so beautiful and a smoothly rich brown.
It made me sad for minute that she actually died and had to watch her kids grow up from the sky. If tay would've seen her smile- "Nick right? Or would you prefer Nahmir?"
I couldn't take my eyes off of hers making my breath hitch. "U-um
M-Mir."I answered nervously. "Aww."She said with a little pout. She examined my face caressing it a bit. Her hands felt soft and warm. They gave me comfort.
"There is no need to be nervous."I slowly nodded as her eyes pulled all of my worries away. It was like she was examining my soul. She smiled and pulled me into a hug. I let out a breath I didn't know I was holding in.
"Well now that your here lests eat."She smiled.
[time skip]
"And this is him when he was seven during the Obama campaign."She said showing me pictures of tay.
"Ma he don't wanna see none of that."Pimp groaned making me laugh. "If you don't mind me asking how old are you?"I asked. She smiled.
"See I like you. Real respectful and sweet.But I died when I was 19 I would've been 36."I nodded. She rubbed my knee. I looked down to my flattened stomach.
"Hey don't feel sad. Your gonna make it outta here. And your gonna be an amazing father."She smiled caressing my faces. I wanted to ask so much but I didn't want to over due it.
"Ight enough of this soft shit." Pimp said getting up.
"Ant watch your mouth boy."Miss René hit him upside the head making me laugh.
I gasped remember something that I was wondering. "Pimp who killed you?"I asked as I followed him to the kitchen.
He sucked his teeth. "Mauun ion even know."He shook his head. "All I remember was me walking to the trap to get the two black bags cus I forgot em. Tanna was trynna come with me but I ain't no bi-hoe so I wanted to go by myself."He stopped himself from cursing causing me to chuckle.
I was already on the verge of laughing because of the way he tells stories.
"Tanna like"maun all you gotta do is go in and imma just drive you" I "I can do all that by myself you always wanna follow me round n shit" He "Ight fine if you get trailed by 12 don't call me fa bail" I "tuh" and dipped."
"Curtis James Jackson the fourth if I catch you in here cussing again imma go to work on that ass you hea' me."She said through grunted teeth pointing her finger at him.
"I wonder where I got it from."He mumbled making me laugh.
"Anyway back to the story. I walked in and got the bags but I wanted a fruit snack. You know dem little sponge bob niggas on the gummies right? I had a whole box put up so I went to go get em but as soon as I step foot in the kitchen shots went off."
"At first I thought it was the roaches at war till I felt that bi- I mean bullet hit my side then another hit my chest."At this point I was in tears.
"Next thing you know I'm waking up in the same spot wit the same gummies in my hand."He said shaking his head.
"Chile don't be laughing at his foolishness."She came all the way in the kitchen laughing.
"How about you ma cuz you ain't never tell me now that I think about it."He said taking a seat.
She sighed moving over to wash the dishes. "I never told you because I didn't want you to veiw your father differently."
"Wait I thought you died of birth complications?"I asked confused. "My grandma told tay that because he wasn't old enough to remember her and she didn't want him growing up wit beef wit my pops."
"Ain't no beef wit him in my part but that's only because I had to see first hand what he was dealing wit."He said.
I just nodded like I knew what was going on.Miss René chuckled at my actions. "Ok imma tell you guys the whole story."
She sat down taking a seat close to pimp. "It was a Thursday night. I had tay wit me because I didn't want my friend justice to worry about a two year old and a 6 month old so I just left lil Cj with her. I was on my way to the store to get some more similac when it happened."
"Me and Curtis had an argument a couple of days before because I wanted him to leave the game. I mean could you blame me we had two babies and the shit was getting dangerous. I didn't want to have to keep worrying about him every night."
"But back to the story. We were angry with each other so I took the kids and left to stay with justice. It was just gonna be for a couple of days though not much long. But I knew he and Gucci-" "Gucci? As in Gucci Mane?"
I asked in shock. I knew he was known and grimy but not for this long. "Yes. Him and 50 had been friends since junior high."She smiled.
"Him and Gucci were like partners in this like gang thing but it was more like a business or a cartel. They started right before I got pregnant wit CJ."
"But something happened and they were going at it wit some people. From what I heard they were dangerous but I guess we both forgot about the situation."
"It was drive by. I was getting tay out of the car in the parking lot when they started shooting."She paused as she started to tear up.
"I didn't go instantly.And it didn't even hurt. What hurt the most was the thought of not being able to take care of my babies. Tay was crying so hard. I wanted to just hold him but I couldn't."She sniffed.
"I just rocked his car seat until I couldn't anymore."I wiped my face imagining the scene. "Where there people in the parking lot."I asked.
She nodded. "Most of them were white so of course they didn't come to my rescue."She chuckled. "But it was this lady who tried to help. She tied her shirt around me to stop the bleeding and it worked. But I just asked her to help me with tay."
"She said she was going to school for nursing. She looked at me. I'll never forget your mom mir." My eyes widened. "She tried her hardest to help me stay with her but I died during surgery."
"She stayed at the hospital with tay until 50 came and took him. After that he took y'all to my moms house. I missed him more than anything but to see him cry-" She paused and sighed.
"He blamed himself every day. And after a while when he couldn't go on not being able to raise his kids he decided to leave."
"But there's only two ways people leave the game. You die or you rot in a cell. He thought just because him and Gucci were closer than close and that he had a kid too he would understand and just let him go. But Gucci being the grimy nigga he is set him up wit the feds."
Pimp sniffled. We both looked at him in shock. "What. It ain't like y'all ain't never seen a real nigga cry befo."He said wiping his face making us chuckle.
"Awww."She said getting up and hugging him. "Ma stop I-I'm good. I'm straight."He said aggressively crying. I couldn't help but laugh.

𝚃𝚊𝚢𝚖𝚘𝚛 𝙼𝚌𝙸𝚗𝚛𝚢𝚛𝚎
(The next day)
We drove all through East LA until we got to a pinkish coral colored house with a crimson tiled roof.
She parked in the driveway. "This is Mirs grandmas house so you need to be on your best behavior and try to give a good first impression because she don't play about her Nicky bear ok?"I nodded.
We got out and she knocked on the door. It didn't even take a second before she opened it. "Shai I was waiting all day come in."She spoke with a heavy accent.
"Eh who's this?"She asked pointing at me so I introduced myself. "My name is Taymor McIntyre. I'm Mirs Boyfriend."I said holding my hand out.
She pulled me into a hug. Of course I hugged back. "My Nicky bear didn't tell me anything about you baby face."She smiled. I couldn't help but to chuckle at the nick name she gave me.
"You should've came sooner. I called Nando and he said he would be here any minute."Ma nodded her head. "So as soon as he gives up the blood he's going to be ok?"She asked.Ma nodded.
"That's what Rodgers said. And I trust him he's the head surgeon on the field. I-I just hope he gives him the blood."She nodded. "You know I had a son like Nicky. That's why I'm so protective of him."
"Nando had a twin brother named Felipé."She smiled. "He was such a happy baby a happy kid too. I knew I was supposed to have two boys and it was something my great great grandfather had so when he was born I wasn't surprised."
"But my husband was furious. He said that it wasn't right and it was my fault he was born that way. I didn't care though. It was nothing he could do or say to make me give him up."
"I loved him with everything I had in me. When he was around three Jesus,my husband started to beat on him. I couldn't stand it so I just took the beatings. I knew they would never stop because he was a heavy drinker. He loved beer."
"But one day I come from work and he wasn't there. I asked Jesus where is he you know. He wouldn't tell me. I started to scream at him and hit him."She said wiping tears.
"He finally told me he was gone. I said what do you mean. And he said he took him for a drive. I was gonna leave him right then and there. I was even in the mindset for murder but then Fernando would have no parents. But the police came an took him the same night."
She wiped her tears. "I tell you this to be grateful of Nicky. He's a blessing to all of us."I nodded my head in agreement. He really is the best thing that ever happened to me.
Just then the door opened. "Mamá I-" the man paused looking at ma Shai. "Abuela!" A familiar voice came in yelling. "Manny is that you."Mirs grandma smiled with her arms out to hug him.
The man walked closer in the house towards the area where we were sitting. I watched his every move with my hand by my waist if he tried something.
"Wassup Tay."Manny dapped me as I returned the greetings. Manny was one of the niggas that helped me get rid of bodies aka the cleaning crew.
I didn't even think to connect him and Mir even though he spoke of a cousin Manny often. "Whatchu doing here." He finally spoke after starting holes in her skin.
"Uh Manny come I have sweet choros in the kitchen."Their grandma said dragging manny away.
He watched as his mom dipped then putting his attention back on us. "What's this about."His voice was deep and he had many tattoos most where the number 60.
"Mir got shot. A-And he's pregnant."She said with a shaky voice. His eyes darted to me. "Is it yours?" I nodded. He nodded his head looking down.
"So he's dying."
