Getting into the car Rio roughly rubbed his hands over his head before banging his hands against the steering wheel.
I knew he was hurting. CJ was the only person he truly loved.
"I can't fuckin' believe this." He mumbled to himself.
"Baby, you have to make sure he's alright." I said speaking for the first time since we'd left the hospital.
"He's not my son Lauren."
I could hear the hurt in his voice.
"Your all he has." I said trying to convince him.
Alaina's mother walked out of the hospital over to the car knocking on the driver's window.
"Mario." She said through the glass.
Turning towards the window he rolled it down.
"Please don't leave--I know everything that's happening is messed up but--be here for Cameron."
Taking in a deep breath he shook his head in disagreement.
"Please." Her mother said begging.
Killing the engine he opened the car door and stepped from the car.
"She bet not say shit to me." He said closing the door behind him.
Getting out of the car I followed the two back into the hospital.
Rio walked over to the reception desk and requested his room.
"What is his name?"
"Cameron Johnson."
She flipped through her notepad on her desk before returning her eyes back to Rio.
"He's just been moved to room 120."
Rio grabbed my hand holding it tight as we walked towards CJ's room.
Alaina's mother walked in before us. CJ laid in the hospital bed hooked to a machine watching cartoons.
Alaina stood by his bedside holding his hand.
Her mother walked up to her and whispered into her ear causing Alaina to turn around giving Rio an apologizing look.
"Daddy?" CJ asked sitting up from his bed.
Rio looked Alaina up and down as she walked pass us leaving us alone with CJ.
Letting go of my hand Rio made his way over to his bed staring at him.
"Daddy's here." He said softly while rubbing his hand over CJ's hair.
A tear fell from his eye but he quickly wiped it away.
"Spongebob Dad." He said pointing towards the TV.
Bending down Rio kissed CJ on the forehead.
A nurse walked into the room and Rio directed his attention to her.
"I'm sorry--you are?" She asked stopping in the doorway.
Rio hesitated before responding.
"I'm Cameron's father."
She smiled and walked over to the machine to read the numbers off of it.
"I'm Nurse Scott." She said while writing in her notepad.
"What's his condition?"
Folding her notepad she tucked it under her arm.
"The doctors are in the process of finding a donor for the transfusion." She said making her way towards the door. "As soon as we're able to find a donor of his same O blood type the sooner you'll have your little boy back." She added before leaving the room.
My eyes widened as I heard her say that.
Remembering when I gave birth to Nicholas the doctor's told me my blood type was O.
I stared at Rio and his head hung low. He couldn't take his eyes off of CJ.
"I have his same blood type." I said cautiously.
Turning towards me Rio's light brown eyes lit up.
"What? for real?"
Nodding my head slowly a smile formed at his lips.
Alaina's mother walked back into the room with tears in her eyes.
"The doctors are having a hard time finding a donor."
Rio looked at me.
I was nervous about giving my blood because I was fearful of needles.
Rio pulled me close to him and I could feel his heart racing.
"I need you more than I've ever needed anyone."
I could see the hurt in his eyes.
Alaina walked into the room and for the first time she didn't say anything to me.
"Okay." I said looking into his eyes.
A look of relief came over his face.
"Thank god!" Alaina's mother yelled as tears fell from her eyes. "You are truly heaven sent."
Rio smiled and he kissed me.
Alaina still didn't speak. She wore a blank expression the entire time.
Her mother left the room to get a nurse so I could start the donating process and Rio left with her.
"Thank you for this." Alaina said sincerely.
Rolling my eyes I turned my back to her.
"I know what I did was wrong and I was wrong for comin' at you the way I did."
"Now you wanna apologize because you were caught--miss me with that." I snapped.
She wiped the tears that fell from her eyes.
"Just don't get too attached to Rio. In the end your gonna be the one hurt."
I turned to face her looking at her sideways.
"Aren't you the one that ended up hurtin' him?" I frowned.
"You don't know the whole story."
Interrupting our conversation Rio walked back into the room looking at Alaina.
"You foul as hell--I should choke the shit outta you." He said low so CJ couldn't hear him.
"I said I was sorry." Alaina cried.
"Fuck them tears. You betta go do what I told yo ass to or--." He stopped mid sentence when he saw I was looking at him. "You not pinning another child on me."
Tears continued falling from Alaina's eyes.
Her words about Rio replayed through my head.
Was she just saying this to get to me or was she being truthful?
Nurse Scott walked back into the room with a folder.
"Are you ready?" She asked smiling.
Looking at Rio I grabbed his hand. He was by my side the entire time.
The process didn't take longer than an hour.
After the transfusion CJ laid in his hospital bed holding an Incredible Hulk toy.
"What up lil dude."
CJ's eyes lit up.
"Hey Daddy."
"I want you to meet somebody." Rio said to him.
Picking him up from the bed he held him in his arms.
"This is my girlfriend Lauren--Say what's up."
"What's up." He said clearly.
Laughing I took his little hand in mine. "What's up."
Rio smiled as he put him down allowing him to stand on his own.
Alaina walked into the room holding his coat.
The doctor's said his condition wasn't severe and he was able to go home after the transfusion.
"Come on baby." Alaina said getting CJ's attention.
Her mother walked over to me pulling me into her arms.
"Thank you again."
"No problem." I said patting her back.
Pulling away from the hug she walked over to Rio hugging him as well.
"Bye Daddy." CJ waved as they left the room.

Pulling up to the house he killed the engine turning towards me.
"I don't know how to thank you." He said grabbing my hand. "You've been the only person I can trust."
Hearing him say that made me smile but I couldn't stop thinking about what Alaina said.
Getting out of the car he walked over to the passenger's side helping me out.
My feet were killing me and I couldn't wait to get in the house.
Rio opened the front door stepping in.
Walking into the bathroom I wiped the makeup from my face.
Exhausted I flicked the light off in the bathroom and walked into the bedroom.
"Can you help me with my shoes?" I asked.
He sat on the edge of the bed with his head in his hands still dressed in his dress shirt, boxers and socks.
"Yeah." He said clearing this throat and standing up.
Taking a seat onto the bed he bent down unbuckling the straps while helping take the shoes off of my feet.
Pulling his shirt off he tossed it in the dirty clothes hamper.
I could tell he still had CJ heavy on his mind.
"He's going to be okay."
Rio shook his head.
"All I ever wanted was to be the best Dad I could be to my son and that bitch took it away from me--I still can't believe he's not mine."
He clenched his jaw together.
"Damn." He said under his breath.
"Your still his father Mario."
"I wanna stop thinkin' about it." He said dismissing the conversation and getting into the bed.
Standing up I slipped off my dress and tossed on a oversized tee before joining him.
Opening his arms he motioned for me to come towards him.
Bringing me into his warm embrace I buried my face into his chest inhaling his cologne.
"Thank you for bein' here." He said rubbing my back.
Looking into his eyes he leaned his head in and kissed me intensely.
Taking his lips from mine he began kissing off the side of my mouth slowly making his way to my neck and gently sucking.
As much as I wanted Rio I couldn't stop trembling as his hand wondered my body finding its way inside my boy shorts.
Pulling them off my hips he entered one finger into my wetness, then another before returning his mouth to mine causing me to moan into his.
His low breathing turned me on as I grabbed at the sheets.
Removing his fingers from me I propped myself up onto my forearms.
He pulled my shirt off before returning his lips back to mine while unsnapping my bra.
Taking my breast into his mouth he licked and kissed both before working his way down my body.
My body tingled at his touch.
Skipping over my vagina he kissed my inner thighs before spreading my legs and diving into my sweet juices almost sending me up the wall. My moans filled the room.
Pushing him farther into me I arched my back as I neared my climax.
Not being able to take anymore I tried to push away but the hold he had on me forbidden me to move.
Unable to hold back anymore I reached my peak grabbing ahold of his arm and squeezing it.
Rio didn't stop there he kept going, gently nibbling and licking causing me to climax again.
Trying to catch my breath he came up for air kissing my stomach while inserting another finger into me.
Helpless, I moaned uncontrollably.
Taking a minute he slipped out of his boxers.
His member stood at full attention.
My heart raced as I looked at his size. He was going to rip me apart I thought to myself.
Returning back to the bed he wrapped my legs around his waist as he kissed my neck distracting me to slowly ease himself into me.
Clawing at his back he started at a slow pace giving me a chance to adjust to him.
"You okay?" He asked kissing my neck.
"Uh huh--don't stop." I instructed.
After awhile his thrusts became quicker as I felt his lips on my chest moving up to my neck and on the tip of my chin.
His breathing deepened with every stroke.
Wrapping my legs tighter around him he went deeper while still planting kisses on my body.
Rio made love to me for an hour before his body tensed up causing me to tighten around him.
Coming together he didn't bother to pull out. We decided to lay there in each other's arms.
Staying like that for a while he finally worked up enough strength to pull out of me rolling over on his back.
I laid on his chest as we fell asleep together.

Waking up the next morning I was still in Rio's arms. Kissing his lips he slowly opened his eyes.
"What's up shorty." He said in a raspy tone.
"I put yo' ass to bed." I joked.
He chuckled and rubbed his eyes.
"You definitely did."
Sitting up and tossing my legs to the side of the bed I stood up finding my shirt on the floor.
"Where you goin?"
Picking the shirt up I made my way over to the hamper.
"I have to shower and you have to start breakfast."
He laughed out loud.
"I can do that." He said standing up from the bed.
My eyes landed on his member as he slipped on his shorts.
He was still a nice size when he wasn't at attention.
"Don't take all day in the shower--you know what you be on." He laughed before slipping on his Nike sandals and leaving the room.
Rolling my eyes I walked into the bathroom and started the shower.
As usual I took a long hot shower and by time I walked into the kitchen Rio had the plates made and was pouring orange juice into the glasses.
Just as I was taking a seat at the island Celia walked into the kitchen.
"What's this?" She asked raising her eyebrow. "I know Mario didn't cook this."
Rio ignored her comment and took a seat next to me.
I could sense the animosity he still had towards her.
Sighing Celia pulled a plate from the cabinet and lined it with the rest of the food.
"I would have rather discussed this with you in private but--it seems I will never get that chance." Celia spoke.
I knew she was referring to me always being around.
Not responding Rio listened as she talked.
"Son I wish our relationship was better than it is--."
"What relationship?" Rio asked cold heartily cutting her off.
She looked him in the eyes.
"Ima let y'all talk." I said standing up from the chair.
Rio grabbed my arm.
"Nah, you can stay."
I slowly sat back down.
"I've tried to trust you but what you do? You let me down every time." He frowned.
"I'm trying to make up for my mistakes Mario!" Celia yelled almost in tears.
"By still messin' around wit Mark?
"There is a such thing as forgiveness." She said.
Mario waved her off and a fed up Celia left the kitchen.
"I got too much shit goin' on to be dealin' wit this." He said shaking his head.
Pulling his phone from his short's pocket he looked at the display screen.
"Black, what up?" He said into the phone.
Standing up from the island he walked towards the sink.
"Who came to the shop?"
His tone changed.
I listened to his conversation as I ate.
"I'll be there in a minute." He said before disconnecting.
Looking at me he sighed.
"I got some business to handle."
"I figured." I said disappointed.
Walking around the island over to me he wrapped his arms around me.
"I'm sorry shorty."
"It's okay. Go handle yo' business."
Kissing my cheek he walked out of the kitchen.
Finishing my food I turned up my glass of orange juice emptying the cup.
Picking up my plate I walked over to the sink washing it.
By time I got to the room Rio had already left.
Deciding to enjoy the day to myself I got dressed and left the house driving to the mall.
Pulling into the parking lot I killed the engine and grabbed my purse from the passenger's seat before getting out.
The mall was crowded. Almost every parking space was filled.
Strutting to the entrance I walked through the food court and up the stairs towards my favorite store.
"Hello." The owner greeted as I walked through the door.
Smiling I made my way over to a rack flipping through its clothes.
"You lookin' for anythin specific?" He asked joining me.
Looking up, my eyes landed on him.
His skin was of a caramel complexion and his hair was freshly cut.
He was dressed from head to toe in True Religion.
"I'm fine." I said walking away to another rack.
"I know that." He said smiling and following me.
He just wasn't getting the hint that I wasn't interested.
Picking up a dress I held it against my body.
I loved its fabric and I'm sure it would feel good against my skin.
"I could see you in that."
Placing the dress back onto the rack I turned towards him.
"I'm sorry but I'm not interested."
"I am." He said licking his lips. "I've seen you come in here a few times and I been wanting to say somethin' to you."
Rolling my eyes I started towards the exit.
"I'm sorry." He said grabbing my wrist. "Let's start over--I'm Teddy."
"I'm not interested."
Chuckling he shook his head and removed his hand from me.
"Damn, all you hoes the same."
"Excuse me?" I frowned.
"Y'all don't know a good nigga when you see one."
This nigga had a lot of nerve.
Turning to leave my eyes widened as I saw Rio walk into the store.
"Rio what up?" Teddy said dapping him. "What up lil mama." He said greeting the girl that stood next to Rio.
