Don't Hide From Me

All Better

Toni's POV:

My eyes fluttered open. I looked around the room, noticing that I was in a hospital bed.

"Toni?"

I looked to the side, seeing Chresanto. He stared at me with reddened eyes. I sat up and motioned him to sit next to me. He stood up and sat down, facing me on the bed. We stared at each other in silence, until-

"They gave you stitches for your scars," He told me.

I lifted up the hospital robe that I was wearing and looked at the stitch marks scattered all over my stomach. I touched one of them and flinched. Chresanto pulled my hand away and held it. I looked down and played with his hand. He watched, smiling slightly.

"I'm sorry..."

I looked up at him.

"Sorry for what?"

"Not believing you at the wedding..."

I looked down, then back at him.

"It's okay..."

He looked at me. I shrugged and smiled.

"I was never mad at you sweetheart," I told him, "I love you too much..."

He smiled big and pulled me into a hug. I grunted.

"Okay, you're hurting me!" I mumbled against his shoulder.

Chresanto let me go, "Sorry."

"I didn't say I didn't like it!"

I jumped into his lap and hugged him. He chuckled and hugged me back. I looked at him and smiled. He smiled back and stared into my eyes. My smile disappeared as I got lost in his gaze. Chresanto pulled me close and kissed me passionately. I kissed him back and slipped my tongue into his mouth. He did the same to me and slipped his hands under my robe.

~~~

"Ooooh, Chres!"

I arched my back and groaned as Chresanto pumped his fingers into me. He watched my faces change and my body squirm everytime he switched up the pace of his fingers.

I grabbed onto his arm, "I'm gonna cum!"

Chresanto pumped his fingers as fast as he could, pushing them in deeper. I clawed at the sheets with one hand and pushed at his arm with the other. That only made him pump harder and rub my clit with his thumb. His fingers brushed against my g-spot.

"Aahhh! Fuck!"

I came onto his fingers. He pulled them out and licked them clean. I looked up at him and breathed heavily. Shortly, there was a knock at the door.

"We'll finish later," Chresanto leaned down and kissed me.

I kissed him back, then put the hospital robe back on as he walked to the door. He opened it and Jason and Craig walked in. Jason was carrying Amaya and Craig held Trey on his shoulders. I sat in the bed, pulling the sheets over my legs.

"Hi, Mommy!" Trey called out to me.

I smiled big, "Hey!"

Jason walked over to me, "Amaya is the cutest thing!"

"Okay, okay!" I giggled, "Gimme my baby."

He handed her to me.

"How you feelin'?" Craig asked, sitting Trey down on the bed.

"I feel better!" I told him, "I barely feel my scars now.."

"That's good!" He smiled.

"I just don't get it! Why would Ray do some twisted shit like that?"

"I dunno... But it makes me sick to my stomach!"

"I mean like.. Why hit on a girl? Matter of fact; why hit on Toni?!"

"Did you even know that they were together?"

"No! I didn't find out until earlier today! I can't lie and say that I wasn't worried at all."

"And then he told me. I showed him the photoshopped picture and compared it to the original that I got out of it..."

"That's smart."

"Did YOU know they were together?"

"Yeah. He told me about three days after the wedding. I didn't know he was hitting on her until yesterday.. And I didn't tell because he threatened me."

"Well! That's interesting!"

I sat back and listened to the boys go on and on about Raquan. Then I looked down at Trey, who was playing with the loose thread of the sheets. I waved my foot at him and he looked up. He crawled up to me and laid his head on my arm. I smiled.

"Guys?" I called out to the boys.

They all stopped and looked at me.

"Is Ray already in jail?" I asked.

Chresanto nodded, "Yup! They called and told me before you woke up. Don't know why, but yeah..."

"Which one is he at?"

"LAX Prison Center... Why?"

"Just asking..!"

They all gave me a confusing look.

~~~~~~~

"Henderson!! You have a visitor."

After brushing off his orange jumper, Raquan walked out into the visiting area. He stopped in his tracks at what he saw.

Raquan's POV:

Toni?!?!

What the hell?!

She stared at me blankly. I hesitated before walking to her table and sitting down in front of her. With the same expression, she sighed. I clasped my hands together and smiled at her.

"Hi, Toni," I said to her.

"Hi," She said coldly.

My smile was wiped off of my face, "Umm... I missed you, sweetheart..!"

"I didn't..."

Fine, fuck you too then!

Bitch...

I sighed and pulled at my braids. She looked away, then back at me.

"Toni. I'm sorry about what I did to you."

"You're sorry?!"

"Yes! I'm sorry!!"

She stared at me angrily, then sat back and chuckled. I gave her a confusing look.

"Sorry don't mean shit... Sorry won't make my bruises and cuts disappear, Ray!! Sorry won't make me change how I feel about you! Sorry won't erase what happened in the past! And sorry sure as hell won't get your ass out of here. You beat me, raped me, and enslaved me. And you expect me to forgive you?! Oh hell no, buddy! That shit will not fly with me!"

"Well what do you want me to do?! I can't really do anything else!"

"Just sit in this hell hole and rot! That's what I want you to do!!"

I stared at her. She crossed her arms.

"Y'know, I almost feel sorry for you.."

"What do you mean?"

"I'm pregnant... And yes, it's your baby."

Excitement took over and a smile stretched across my face.

"But I'm not keeping it..."

My smile and my heart dropped.

"Y-You're not keeping it? Why?!"

"Why would I keep a child whose father put me through hell and misery..? That's stupid..."

"Toni, please! Atleast wait until I get out of here! Then I'll come and get my child!"

"Wait?! Ray, by the time you get out, that child with be 16... He or she won't want to have anything to do with you by then... And I don't want them thinking that Chresanto is the father."

"So an abortion is all you can think about?! What about an orphanage?!"

"I might as well keep it if I do that! Basically, I'm not bringing a child that I don't even want into the world... Not gonna do it!"

"Because of me..?"

"Because of you..."

We stared at each other in complete silence.

"TWO MORE MINUTES FOR VISITING HOURS!"

We still stared at each other.

"Toni.."

"What?"

"Please don't kill that child... Please! Just wait for me."

"Why should I..?"

"Because when I get out, I'll get my child and you'll never see me again... That I can promise you."

She stared at me.

"Please..."

She sighed and shook her head.

"Fine..."

I sighed and smiled in relief.

"Thank you..."

"Whatever."

"VISITING HOURS ARE OVER! ALL INMATES REPORT BACK TO YOUR CELLS!"

Toni stood up from her seat and walked out the room. I watched her.

"C'mon Henderson! Back to your cell!"

I stood up and followed the Warden back to my cell.

The End...?
