Surviving the Hood

K A R M A

-Ray's P.O.V.-

I looked at my baby.She laid there lifeless in a coma.A deep one too.The doctors say it could be days weeks even months before she wakes up.They don't wanna touch her or nothing so they don't know if the baby is still living.I hope it is.I know if she lost the baby her heart would break.I sighed and just laid in the bed with Kaka.I wish she would wake up.I can't blame this one on Issa.Kaka always had a short temper.So she wasn't gone let that shit slide Red pulled with her.I knew she was gone do it.I should have stayed away from her.If I told Kaka she probably would kill me.I strokes her cheek."Baby please wake up.I miss you.Please don't die on us.You have family and friends.Everybody loves you please wake up."

Nothing.I sighed and went to sleep only wishing she would wake up.She been through so much through this pregnancy.Her or the baby don't deserve none of this.

*3 weeks later*

I couldn't eat sleep or think.This is kinda of my fault.I slept around with Red.She said she wanted to be with me and will do whatever it takes to get Kaka out of the picture.She wanted her spot on the basketball team too.I woke up and got ready to visit Kaka.The doctors still saw no progress.Jayla dropped off Rachelle since she had to work.She ran in the room with her clothes on."Daddy where are we going again?"

"Remember I told you Kaka was still in the hospital?"

She nodded "We going to see her today."

"When is she coming home?I miss her"

I smiled a little something I aint done in three weeks "I don't soon u hope.I miss her too"

-Kaka's P.O.V-

I woke in the hospital.Nothing new.I tried to breathe and started choking.I saw Issa run to the door.I smiled a little when I saw him.The nurses and doctors came in and took the tubes out my throat but put them lil things in my nose to put oxygen but in my system.The doctor smiled."You're finally awake.How are you feeling?"

"Ehh..okay.My side hurts.Is the baby still alive?"

"I don't know.We can do an ultrasound and see if we can find its heartbeat."

I nodded and waited for them to come back.Once they set up.I heard my baby's heartbeats.I smiled.

"Its a fighter.Most babies would have died going this long with food or water.They're a fighter"he wrote something down and walked out.So did the nurses.I sighed and started to cry.Issa rushed over to the bed and comforted me."Why?!Why does all this bullshit keep happening to me?!Is this karma from all the people I killed when I was younger?I wanna die!" I cried harder.

"Don't say that."his voice cracked a little

"I'm dying slowly!Every 2 weeks I'm in the hospital.Why don't God just kill me right now?And stop playing with my life."

"Stop talking like that.God just has his ways."He hugged me tight.Then Ray walked in with Rachelle.I quickly wiped my eyes.

"Hey Chelle!"she smiled and jumped on the bed

"Hey Kaka!How is your booboo?"

I laughed a little"Its better."Ray walked over to me and kissed and hugged me.

"When did you wake up?"

"This morning."

"How is the baby?"

I sighed "Still fighting.I'm ready to go home."

"I know."he laid down with me.Rachelle was talking Issa's head off.He said he was gone take her for some ice cream.I laid my head on Ray's shoulder."Why does all this keep happening to me?"

He shrugged"Stuff happens for a reason."

I sighed "But to me?I understand I did a whole bunch of shit when I was younger.But why does karam have to come and bite me in my ass now during my pregnancy?Its like something took over me in my body.My astham has never been this bad.A demon is inside of me or some shit.God don't have to punish my baby.Just punish me."I started to cry again.Ray wrapped his arms around me.

"Baby don't cry."

"Can somebody just kill me?I should've told Issa just let me die."I cry harder and harder

"Baby don't talk like that.Everybody loves you."

I sighed and cried myself to sleep.
