Chapter forty-three

July 31, 1983

"We've been so happy about this pregnancy even through our arguments and disagreements. We wanted this to work so we could start a new chapter in our lives" I took a shot and poured myself another and one for Antonio

"I get it..when me and Gina broke up in January we planned a lot of stuff together but eventually that didn't last" Antonio shrugged taking a shot, he grabbed the bottle and poured another one and one for me as well

Antonio looked at me as if he were going to cry again "I can't lose my sister. I just can't..if I could choose i'll pick my sister. It'll hurt her deeply to lose her kids but it's just not her time"

I looked down at my hands still remembering the blood on me when i carried her out the bathroom. "I understand" I said lowly

I completely understand. I don't want to lose her either but I also didn't want to lose my children, I couldn't deal with the pain of losing them and having Angela walking around depressed blaming herself. If i lose Angela the kids will be left without a mother, they won't know her at all not even being held by her. All they would have is her music playing and pictures of her around the house.

I just can't..I just can't..I just can't.

"So many things been running through my head..did we do something wrong? I know it's a common situation but why does it have to happen to us?" I poured the liquor into a much bigger glass

I held it up to my lips taking a few sips "We didn't even know we were having triplets and lost one" I shook my head chugging the rest down, I scrunched my face feeling the burning sensation

I groaned slamming the glass down "I didn't even know and yet i'm hurt about losing one of my children!" I stood up from the chair "I'm gonna be outside" I said leaving money and tip on the counter

It was already night time, the moon and stars were visible and shining up the dark sky. I sat down on the bench looking up the stars, the brightest one caught my attention the most.

I closed my eyes and put my hands together to pray "God it's me Michael..I know that i'm not the best person but please help Angela and our children. They need your saving so please help.  I don't know what I would do without her..she's been my best friend for years. I watched her grow into a wonderful woman she's the purest human being i've ever laid eyes on. She's actual an angel." My eyes were getting hot against

"Her family doesn't deserve this burden on them. They've gone through enough so please let them survive." I pleaded, I opened up my eyes looking at the stars shine on me

Antonio had walked out the bar with his hands in his pockets looking at me "Ready to head back to the hospital?" He asked, I nodded since we've been here for two hours

"I'll drive Mike" He insisted, I gave him the keys and got up on my feet looking back at the stars while making my way to the passenger side.

When we made it back to the hospital the waiting room was filled with our family as we waited for the results on Angela. Antonio went over to his parents, they stood up to hug him since Angela was his other in his life.

"Move Mikey! I can feel you breathing on me! anywho back to what I saying. Here I am baking a strawberry cake since i've been craving it..well WE have been craving it haha"

"Mommy is very tired baby..your daddy is already sleeping. See he's sleeping on my chest like a baby"

"I got married!!! shhh it's a secret though! your grandparents, uncles, and aunts will be very upset"

"Hey baby when you get here I promise to be the best mommy to you and your future siblings i love you lots. Mikey hey! are you zooming in on me?"

I heard clips of Angela on the camcorder we use to document her pregnancy journey. Hearing her voice, her vibrant personality, and laugh just hurt me. "She's going to pull through Michael" My mom said rubbing my back

I sat down next to her with glossy eyes "Is she though?" I asked "I don't know baby but keep praying" She kissed my forehead pulling it close to her chest to comfort me

"I should've never told her that she wasn't my sister..my selfishness wanted happiness but the only happiness i had was right in front of me" Erika whimpered rubbing her face messing up her makeup "I just can't take it back" She cried

Tina sat between Randy and Erika quietly looking at all of the clips of Angela with a small smile on her face. "She's such a vibrant girl" She giggled softly as she sniffed a bit

"She really is." I mumbled smiling
