"What you mean CAT scan?" I frowned, confused.

"Just to check a few things." Amber assured me.

Closing my eyes, whispering a silent prayer.

"We gonna wheel you down to the x-ray center." Amber interrupted, as one of the nurses came in with a wheelchair.

Getting of the table, I fixed my hospital gown before sitting in the chair.

"Hey mama's baby." I smiled at Liyah as she greet me at the door as I walked into August's Mama house. "Heyyy!" I picked her up.

"Ma ma ma ma."

"Where daddy?" I asked as if she could talk back.

"Da da da da." Liyah responded.

"Yea Da da." I nodded exhaling.

"Hey Nikki!" Most of the family yelled at me as I walked threw the living room.

"Hey everyone." I laughed. "Hey mama." I kissed her cheek.

"Hey baby. He upstairs." She referred to August taking Liyah out my arms.

Walking up the stairs, going to August's room, he stood in the mirror trying to tie his tie.

"Need help?" I walked in.

"Yea." He looked as if he was frustrated but stayed clam.

"Nervous?" I helped him out as he rest his hands on my waist.

"Nah, it's the same as high school." He spoke calmly. "You good? I ain't seen yah all day."

"I had another doctor's appointment. I thought I told you?" I frowned guessing I forgot.

"Probably did with da otha' million thinks a nigga gotta remember. My fault." He sighed.

"Black folk don't know how ta' act." August shook his head, taking a gulp from his beer, laughing.

"Mannn college boy shut up." Korey, one of August's cousins, slammed a domino on the table.

"Technology a young bull is a working man as of ta'day. I mean yah high ass did see me walk across da stage. Right?"

"You know dat nigga can't remember three seconds of his life if don't gotta do with weed, money, or pussy." Pee Wee, another one of August's cousins laughed.

I laughed, point to one of the dominos in August hands, letting him know to put it down.

"Dat one?" August mumble, I slick nodded as he put it down.

"Fuck you." Korey said flipping Pee Wee off. "Aug, nigga go."

"See what I'm talkin'?" Pee Wee shook his head, pointing out. "Nigga he just went it's my turn dumb ass."

"Oh oh my fault." Korey chuckled.

"Why dis nigga had ta be my partna'?" Pee Wee try to mumble.

Everyone laughed at him as he got agitated, rubbing his temple.

"I be back I'm goin' to the bathroom." I whispered in August's ear, before pecking his lips.

August nodded, removed his grip around my waist. Getting up I went threw the kitchen to the bathroom in the hall. After handling my business, I washed my hands and fixed my hair. Running my hand threw my wavy curls, clumps of hair followed as I brought my hand down.

"Shit." I mumble as my heart sinked to my stomach.
