That Night
Cori
I couldn't believe that I had triplets with the love of my life. I'm in awe and shock all of the times the doctors told me I couldn't have kids. I remember that time when I went to the doctors office and she told me that I wouldn't be able to. I remember how sad I was and how I drunk the pain away. And then the next thing I know Chres was right by my side helping me get myself together and we weren't even dating.
Flashback
I went to the doctors for a check up because I wasn't feeling well. I sat on the stretcher waiting for her to come in. A few minutes later she walked in placing her clip board to the side.
"Hello Miss Cori" she smiled shaking my hand.
"Hey Doc" I said nervously
*she says nervously*
Dr: How are you feeling lately?
I've been feeling horrible lately, sleepy, no energy, headaches all of the above
Dr. E: Well I'm going to be very honest with you. I looked at your blood work and it doesn't look good at all. You have a decrease in the number of platelets, a condition called thrombcytopenia. If the number of platelets in your blood gets too low, excessive bleeding can occur. I'm sorry Miss Cori but since your medication isn't responding you are going to need to get your spleen removed.
"Another surgery, I'm already insecure about all these surgery marks I have to get another one. I whined
Dr. E: I'm sorry Cori, I know you are tired of this
"Very"!
Dr: But you are one of the strongest patients I know * smiling*
Dr. E: Well I'll give you some time to yourself
"Wait, Dr .E I know I'm only 21 but by me having lupus will that have an effect on me having kids in the future? I asked
Dr. E: *sighs heavily * I wouldn't recommend it because it can lead to kidney failure. It could harm the baby and I think that's a little selfish don't you think?
"Selfish"? I asked giving her that look.
Dr. E: Oh Cori! I am Sorry I didn't mean it like that. I am truly sorry I'm just thinking what's best for you
"You know Dr. E , All my life I had to just agree when it comes to my health. I just had to suck it up and keep it moving and I'm tired of it. Have a nice day... I'll see you in a couple of weeks." I said grabbing my purse and leaving
I swear I can never get a break I just feel all by myself in this my mom is in jersey. And my friends are there but they will never understand what I'm truly going through because they're not sick.
I just couldn't take it anymore and out of no where I began crying on the steering wheel *
I just really don't want another surgery this will be my fourth one and home girl is tired.
Later that night
Chres
I was on the phone coming in from work when I saw Cori sitting outside of her door. Her makeup was smeared and her hair was all poofy. I was so shocked I didn't know what to do.
"Aye Chres do you even hear me? He asked.
"My bad bro it's just Cori is sitting outside knocked out" I explained
"Yo is she dead? He chucked.
"No probably not you know what I'll call you back"I quickly hung up the phone and bent down towards her. I wiggled her arms and she moved to the side.
"Cori"? I asked
"Cori"? I called
"I'm here lover boy"she said seductively.
"Are you drunk? I asked laughing while I held her up.
"I never get drunk"she said. "Sure you don't" I said Helping her inside the house until she stumbled on the floor.
"Damn girl! You are done" I chucked
"I'm not dumb" she shouted. She felt the urge to puke so she ran to her bathroom and began throwing up. I felt so bad for her it was usually a turn off to see a woman sloppy drunk but I like her so I cut her some slack.
" I went to the doctors today and she said everything's getting worst.I swear I can never get a break BLUHHH "she said continuing to puke.
"Everything is going to be okay, I promise you" I promised rubbing her back
" No it's not Chres * she says crying
"You know what's crazy I asked my doctor if I could have kids in the future and she said
I DON'T RECOMMEND IT, YOU COULD PUT THE BABY IN HARM; IT WOULD BE A HIGH RISK PREGNANCY, KIDNEY FAILURES. OHH THEN SHE GONNA SAY DON'T YOU THINK THAT'S SELFISH OF YOU. AND DONT GET ME STARTED ON RYAN" she sobbed mocking her
"That was a low blow , but I don't think she meant it like that" I said
Damn I never knew she had so much on her plate. I guess that's why she acts like she doesn't need anyone. She 's pretending to be strong when she's not all. Poor girl is broken, she just needs somebody to love her .
" Who says that shit!? HOW AM I SELFISH FOR WANTING TO LOVE AND HAVE A CHILD LIKE THE REST OF THESE WOMEN? BUT BECAUSE I HAVE A DISEASE IAM SELFISH ... I JUST WANT TO NURTURE IT AND LOVE IT WITH ALL MY HEART AND I WANT IT TO LOVE ME BACK I ALWAYS WANTED TO BE A MOTHER ..... IT ISN'T FAIR CHRES" she cried throwing up some more
"Damn Cori ! How many drinks did you have? I asked
" Like 5" she said innocently
"You light weight but don't worry about it you're going to have a lot beautiful babies and they're going to be just as beautiful and funny as you.
" Really? She asked
"I promise you" he smiled
"Why does life have to be so hard? I have to get another surgery" she's cried harder
I pulled her into a hug letting her cry on my shoulder.
" It's Okay , it's okay great things are gonna come your way"
End of Flashback
I got out of my flash back and continued to play with Cloe, I finally put Carmello and Chance to sleep but I knew Cloe would be a night owl. Just like me she stays up all night.
"Hey Clo Clo" I smiled picking her up and placing kisses all over her fat cheeks. Words can't describe how happy I am I live for my children just thinking about going in a coma for a week bothers me, I try not to think about but I almost died and I pray it doesn't haunt me or anything. It's just scary thinking about my kids not growing up with me of leaving my husband behind. And I was extremely tired but I don't want to go to sleep you guys should see the bags under my eyes. All of a sudden she started crying I didn't want her to wake her brothers up because once she starts crying they all start crying.
"Shhhhh" I tried rocking her to sleep. She doesn't like when I sang to her the boys only fall asleep when I sang to them . I heard Chres come up the stairs with her bottle. "Is my princess crying? He asked. I gently handed her to him watching him hold her made me so happy but just a tad jealous.
"Oh she's such a daddy's girl it's crazy" I chucked. She stopped crying instantly with his touch. "You are too"he winked at me.
I playfully rolled my eyes and crossing my arms watching her fall asleep. He placed her in her crib and pulled her pink blanket over her. "Just imagine when's she like 16 you're gonna spoil her rotten" I laughed.
"I'm supposed to silly but I'm tired baby I'm about to hit the hay sack. You should too" he yawned pulling my arm. I let go of his arm "No, I'm not I'm fine I'll just stay in here" I said trying to hide my arm. Even though it's been 4 months since the delivery and coma I'm still afraid to go to sleep. I just don't want to miss anything.
"Are you sure ? He asked wrapping his hands around my waist. "Yes I'm fine honey go get some sleep" I ordered. "Okay night babe" he said kissing my cheek and walking away. "
Chresanto
I got in the bed I was so tired I had a long day working and training and I needed to sleep. It was raining which was a plus because it helps me fall asleep.
2 hours Later
Later I woke up in the middle of the night and looked over to see that Cori wasn't by my side. Every since the coma she barely sleeps and if she does its only for a short period of time. She thinks I doesn't know but I do, I picked up on her new habits a while ago hoping it would go back to normal. I got up and pulled the covers off of me and walked to the nursery room where she was. I opened the door to see her on the rocking chair on her phone.
"Babe it's 3 in the morning you aren't tired yet? I asked
"I'm fine just go back to sleep" she said quietly.
I sighed taking a breather I stared at her looking helpless. Her hair was all over the place and the bags under her eyes were huge. "Baby, come here" I said
"No I'm fine I just wanna be alone" she yawned
"I know you're avoiding sleeping you try to get out of it every night now come on" I said
"I'm scared" she said looking over at the crib. I walked over and grabbed her hand she got up but stopped she looked over at the triplets giving me a look of unsureness. "They're fine" I said. "Okay"she said innocently. I laid down waiting for her to lay down with me but she just stared at the bed.
"It's okay" I said pulling her arm she finally sat down on the edge of the bed. She turned around and climbed to the top of the bed with me. I pulled her on top of me staring in her eyes.
"You trust me? I asked
She nodded her head. "You know as long as you're with me I'm not gonna let anything happen to you" I said. She nodded her head again and I kissed her forehead. She finally laid her head on my chest. And I was happy because I knew for sure we both would get some rest.
Aww Cloe is spoiled already, why do you think he has a more closer bond with her?
Poor Cori is a little traumatized
I need a Chres in my life man lol
