Few minutes after crash
Onika Maraj
I woke up a little disoriented.I honestly didn't know where I was till I felt my head to blood on my hands.
I then looked up to see the man from the grocery store looking dead at me as he got back in his blacked out car.
-----
My short ass can't reach my favorite bag of chips.Where's bey when you need her?
"Excuse me ma'am?"
"No thank you" I said expecting him to be one of the many man who hit on me today.like y'all don't see this babybump?
"I uh just wanted to ask if you needed help?"he said about to walk away
"Wait please?"I said politely now talking about the chips.
"Here you go your all set."he said passing me the chips
"Thank you"I said grateful because my baby wanted these chips.
"No problem"he said walking away.

Why would he-wait my baby.I looked down to see a huge shard of glass in my stomach.I tried to scream but I couldn't.Why can't I feel my stomach?Is my baby ok?These thoughts ran through my head as I once again passed out.

"B calm down something will come up somebody will call you."chelle said as I called her freaking out.
"Somebody left my wife for dead.What about my baby?What if they took my child?"I said hiding my emotions
"Let's just hope for the best"she said As I got a call and told chelle to hold on.
"Hello?"
"Yes is this ms.Knowles?"
"This is she"
"I'm calling to let you know we have an onika maraj at the memorial hospital your her emergency number"
"Is she okay?"

16 hours
Thats how long my reasons for living were in surgery.That exactly how long I was lost in my thoughts.I blame myself for this.How can one ruin there family for trying to protect it?
I watched as everyone's doctors gave info to families who loved ones past.
I couldn't help but wonder if that would happen to me.Sooner or later there doctor came out.I stood up.
"How are they?"
"Well good news is Ms.Maraj is fine but suffered minor injuries that will be fixed over time."
"And my baby?"
"Thats where the bad news comes in....."
