"So, how long do I have to wear this?" Jahseh questioned, looking down at his arm cast.

"Well, your arm was severely damaged, so it'll take some months for it to heal. But, if you take care of your cast then the healing process probably will be quick." The doctor told him and he nodded his head.

"I'll be back to give you your pain medicine. If you need me before then just let me know." He nodded his head again just as the door opened.

"JAHSEH!" Tootie shouted running in the room with Wesley and his aunt, Jayla, behind her. A smile grew on Jahseh face seeing his little sister. She climbed on the hospital bed then hugged him tightly.

"Hi Jahseh!" She exclaimed, Jahseh hugging her back as best as he could.

"Hi pumpkin." He kiss her cheek and she smile.

"Look what I got! It look like me!" She said showing him her black Barbie doll.

"I know and both of y'all are very pretty." He told her, kissing her cheek again. Jayla walked over to him and place a kiss on his forehead.

"Hi baby." She greeted him.

"Hey auntie."

"So, what did the doctor say?" Wesley asked sitting in the chair.

"It's bad like really bad and I'm going to have to wear this cast for a few months." Jahseh answered while Tootie traced her finger over his cast.

"Does it hurt bambam?" Tootie asked him.

"A little, but I'm okay." He answered.

"So, that means no more football?" Jayla asked and he nodded his head. "I'm sorry about that hon."

"It's fine though. I didn't expect it to end like this, but it's cool." He muttered, shrugging his shoulders. He just had to ignore his pain yesterday and still play.

"Did your dad come like he said he was?" Wesley asked, Jayla roll her eyes crossing her eyes. As sad as it was to say, Jayla disliked her brother and hated the way he treated his nephews and niece. The two siblings were always going at it with each other nonstop as kids. Now, that they were grown up, the hatred sparked up.

"He should be here regardless." She remarked, shaking her head.

"He came by to talk to the doctors then he said he would be back. That was almost two hours ago." He mumbled the last part to himself, but his aunt heard him.

"Excuse me, you said two hours?" She asked, raising her brow. "He haven't been here for two hours?" she repeated herself.

"Jayla..." Wesley warned, already knowing she was about to go off. He understood her anger towards his son, he just didn't want it to be around Miracle.

She scoffed, tossing her hands up. "I'm sorry, but you have got to be kidding me." She said, shaking her head.

"We all know how Apollo is towards them and that's-"

"And that's why I'm taking Miracle." She cut her dad off, Jahseh raising his brow at them.

"Your taking Miracle?" He asked, Jayla put her attention on her nephew. He stare at his aunt and grandfather, they could see the hurt in his eyes. To hear his sister was going to be taken from him was disappointing.
