- Ray Ray

I guess it wasn't the best of days, nor had it been the best week.. Full of mourning and tears. Phone call after phone call it was all a rush of sudden scare.. for All of us.

Sophia was staying with my mother, the doctor called and requested me and Jesenia at the hospital.

It was pushing 7 AM when we got there..

"Something wrong?" I inquired

"Paris would like to speak to you all.." he aid sternly

We nodded and walked on down the hall.

"What could it be." Jesenia said softly.

"No idea baby...no idea." I sighed.

We walked into her room, and I looked at her peacefully laying on the bed.

"Hey Paris.." I said.

She slowly looked over at us and smiled.

"Sit" she said in a raspy voice and a smile.

I sat in the chair and Jesenia sat on my lap.

"You too... are really happy together." she said and looked at us..

"Y.yeah... I guess we are." Jesenia smiled at me.

"Sophia... will be happy living with the two of you." Paris said. "I'm trusting the both of you to watch my baby. Ray with you being her father, you're the closest thing... protect my baby girl, Jesenia... be the best mother .. you can be you hear?" She said with a cough.

"You have my word" Jesenia said.

"I promise... of course." I nodded.

"I'd ... like to talk to Ray in private please." she said

Jesenia nodded and stood up and walked out.

"Ray... I'm sorry that I wasn't the best lover to you, or the best mother to Soph... But I know that you and Jesenia will take care of her.. I don't want Sophia to know anything of my existences, as far as Soph and everyone else is concerned.... Jesenia, IS her mother... you hear me"

I looked down and nodded.

"Don't you dare cry.." she said as her voice cracked.

I stood up and leaned over her and hugged her.

She wrapped me in her frail arms and rubbed my back.

"Ray it's gonna be okay.." she said softly as i cried.

I cried so hard that I had no words.. I couldn't speak..

"Ray your-"

Before she could finish her sentence I meshed my lips on hers and she lightly kissed back.

I pulled away and sat my forehead on hers.

"I'm sorry.." I cried and wiped my face.

"It's ok...its ok... send Jesenia in ok.."

"Ok..." I nodded "Paris..."

"Yes."

"I love you ... so much ok?"

"Thank you Ray... I love you." she smiled .

I walked out the door and Jesenia was standing there.

I sighed.

"You heard the kiss and what I said and -"

"Ray, she's dying... she needs as much comfort as she can get... im not upset."
