*** Naomi's POV ***
My son taught me the importance of life. I had to watch fighting to survive each single day. One day, he's feeling well and the other one, he's suffering. I wished I could take the pain away from him. Last time, in Sasha's birthday party that turned out into a wedding proposal between her and Jeffrey, I realized something extremely important. No one who is healthy should be leaving unhappily. For my son, I had to fix the relationship between Gabriela and Cashmere. I've seen how they looked at each other. I've seen the sadness in their eyes. It hurt because I screwed up their relationship. I put their love in question. For my son, I had to fix it. I would never be happy with myself or with Lucky if I crossed my arms, watching these two suffering quietly.
I begged Lucky to help me find the address of Gabriela's place without asking Cash. I didn't want him to know just if things don't go well with her. Lucky couldn't succeed. I had to ask to Sasha then. No other choice. I called her number.
-" What is-it you want from me, Naomi?" That was her way of saying hello. I took a deep breath.
-" Hey, Sasha. I feel guilty that your bro is now single. I was thinking of going to visit Gaby and beg her to take him back. Can you please give me her address?" I asked. I was hoping that she would just let out the address and keep her nasty comments for herself. Well, that was too much to ask from Sasha.
-" You want her address so you can go mess up everything some more? Plan failed. Not going to happen." She said. Ugh. Calm down, Naomi. Take it easy.
-" Sasha, all I'm asking is for the address. I'm not going to do anything other than talking to her about getting back with him." I was trying to stay nice to my son's aunt.
-" You do not know what guilt is, Naomi. You never showed that you regret anything. I know what you're about. I'm not going to give you that address. Period. Good bye." She was about to hang up.
-" Do you know what guilt is, Sasha? Do you regret sleeping with Jizzy on Jeffrey? If you did, you wouldn't take that expensive ring from. I know you haven't tell him. If you did, he would've never propose to you." I said.
-" That's none of your business." She said.
-" My life, my mistakes are no business of yours either. Give me that damn address before I do something that you might feel sorry about. Don't push me." I really was tired of hiding shit for her.
-" I'm not scared of you. I'll give you the address and you need to lost my number after that." I sucked my teeth. I wrote down the address and hang up without saying thank you. My sister came to visit, so I let Andrew with her and drove to Gabriela's place. I knocked at the door and she opened it after a good two minutes. She had a big leather jacket and a white short.
-" What are-you doing here?" I was ready to hear scream, mad and everything, at me. But, she was calm. Way too calm for a woman who found me with her man.
-" We need to talk." I said. She put her hands on her hips. Not like a way of giving me attitude. She looked in pain. Actually, she looked pale.
-" It's a bad time. I'm busy." She said.
-" I know you don't want to see me but I need you to forgive me so I can breath again. I feel so guilty. Please, go back in Cash's house. I'm not living there anymore. He needs you...." It looked like she wasn't listening. Her eyes were almost closed. I asked: " Are-you okay Gaby?" She couldn't answer me because she was about to fall on her face. Thank God I had time to catch her before she did.
-" I'm feeling dizzy." She said.
-" What's wrong with her?" I turned around and saw a tall, very handsome guy walking toward us.
-" I don't know. We were talking and she almost passed out. She said that she's dizzy...." I explained. The guy's eyes widened and he ran to hold her.
-" There's blood in her shorts. We need to go to the hospital now." He screamed. I looked down and saw that the front part of her shorts were turned red from blood and it was running down her legs.
-" It's nothing. She's having her period." I said. All she needed to do was clean herself and put on some pads. Guys. *Shake my head*
-" No. She's pregnant." The guy exclaimed. What??? Gabriela is pregnant? I thought she was sterile. Oh my gosh! We really needed to go to the hospital now. She's having a miscarriage.
-" I fell on the stairs when I was running to find a jacket to wear so she wouldn't see my belly. Carlos, I don't wanna lose that child. Please." Gaby cried on his chest.
-" We're going to the hospital. You're not going to lose the baby. I promise." He said. Promise was a huge word. I didn't want her to lose the baby because she might being carrying my son's little hero.
-" I'll follow you guys." I said. I hopped in my car and trying to drive as fast as the guy.
*** Cashmere's POV ***
The guys and I met again but this time it was at Lucky's place. I didn't want to stay in Atlanta any longer. I had to finish one time for good with Mike and all the Ghost Shadows members so I can go back to Dallas to my people. I couldn't stand seeing Gabriela every single days at school and not talk to her. If looks could kill, I would be dead by now. She was no sweet angel like before. I knew that she hated me. There's only so much a guy could take. I was going to take those niggas on a trap. They'll curse the day that their mothers brought them into this world. I presented the plan to my guys. They agreed to be a part of it.
-" I have to take that phone in private." Lucky said and walked out of the room.
-" Am-I the only one suspecting that dude?" Jizzy asked. That guy had suspicions on every damn soul.
-" He looks cool to me." Jeffrey said. That was trust. I gave him as my best friend, brother-in-law to never trust no one. I told him not to even trust me that been by his side since we were toddlers. He failed many times.
-" What are-your suspicions?" I asked. It was never a crime to get more informations.
-" He doesn't answer phone calls in front of us now. I think he's hiding something." Jizzy said.
-" It might be Naomi calling him. He wouldn't want Cash to hear their conversation. It's already a big thing to be friend with the guy who smashed your girl." Jeffrey said. He had a point. Not until my phone rang and it was Naomi. Who was Lucky talking to then? I hesitated before answering her call. Maybe, something is wrong with my son.
-" Hello? Is-everything okay with Andy?" I asked.
-" Andrew is fine. The one who is not okay is Gabriela." She said. I jumped on my feet.
-" What's wrong with Gaby?" I asked with worries.
-" I just found out that she's pregnant. We're running to the hospital now because she's bleeding. I think she's a miscarriage." Naomi said. My heart stopped beating. Gaby is pregnant. Why didn't she tell me? Oh my gosh! I'm going to be a Dad again. That's a miracle. Wait! Naomi said that she's bleeding. I needed to go to the hospital now. I asked Naomi what hospital she was in and ran out without even saying a word to the guys. I didn't have time to. I just hoped everything is okay with her.
I got to the hospital in like ten minutes. Of course I didn't follow speed limits. I just hoped I didn't find a dog trying to cross the road or a police car. Naomi got on her feet once she saw me. They told me what room Gaby was in. It wasn't difficult for me to find it. I stopped before entering inside. I was scared.
-" Oh my gosh!" I heard an unfamiliar voice said. I was nervous.
-" What is-it doctor? What's wrong with my child?" I heard Gaby asked. She might be really worried. Maybe, I should wait a little more. I didn't want to agitate her more.
-" No, the baby is fine. I'm just surprise that I can already see the sex of your baby. Do you wanna know?" She asked. Both Gaby and I sighed.
-" Of course, I wanna know." She said.
-" I can see a little penis. Right there. You guys are having a boy." She said. I jumped in happiness. I was having another champion. Wait, did-she say guys? What does-she mean by that? I pushed the door opened and walked in.
-" Actually, he's...." Gaby stopped talking when she saw me and her mouth stayed open. I looked down at that belly then at her shocking face impression. That guy stood by the head of bed. He didn't say a word.
-" What is-that guy doing here?" I asked with a serious tone.
-" The question is what are-you doing here? Oh! I know. Naomi had to open her big mouth." Gaby said.
-" I'm glad she did your work for you. When were-you going to tell me that you're carrying my damn baby? My son?" I asked. She looked at her tummy then at me.
-" I better leave you guys alone for a while." The doctor said.
-" Please stay, Doc. He's the one leaving. He doesn't have any reasons whatsoever to be here." Then she turned her head to stare at me. She added: " It's not your baby. It's mine."
-" And mine." The guy next to her finally opened his mouth to say some bullshit. His baby? He wished.
-" Carlos..." Gaby began but he interrupted her.
-" It's okay, mi amor. He would've find out sooner or later." He said to her. Then to me: " Can you please leave now? We need to talk to the doctor in private."
-" Not until Gaby told me that it's all a big lie. Tell me he's just crazy, babe." I took a step forward. He took her hand into his.
-" Carlos is not crazy, Cash. It's not your baby that I'm carrying. It's his." Gaby said, putting her head down. I felt like punching that guy so hard that he passed through the wall. I chose to be a decent man instead.
-" Okay. Okay." I only said and walked out of the room. I heard Gaby sniffing. Oh please! I felt like yelling at her or even beat her up. But, I wasn't that kind of guy when it comes to dealing with women. One thing for sure is that I didn't want to ever lay my eyes on her again. I would love to hate her in that moment.
Naomi smiled when she saw me.
-" How things went?" She asked.
-" It happens that I was a fool for listening to you and come here." I simply said. She looked like she was confused.
-" You guys didn't make up?" She asked. I ignored her question and walked out of the hospital. I was going to used that rage inside of me to defeat my enemies.
