Bey POV
"Ma How Much You Spent On That?" Corey Asked
I Laughed "I'm Not About To Let You Have My Grand Baby In Walmart Onesies , You Know That's Not How I Roll"
"Well That's How I Roll Until I Can Afford Better Clothing...So How Much?" He Said
"Only $50 " I Said Nonchalant
Corey Shook His Head As I Snapped A Picture Of Amaya. "When Are You Talking To Kelly?" I Asked
"On The Twentieth"
Corey Had Set A 'Meeting' With Kelly Through The Social Worker. I Don't Think He Should Do It , Kelly Has Like 30 Years In Prison There's No Reason For Him To Communicate With That Woman. But He's A Young Adult And He Feels Like He Needs To Ask Her What Was The Deal With Just Dropping Amaya On Him Like That.
"Hmmm" I Said Picking Up Amaya Going To The Living Room.
"I Know You Don't Want Me To See-"
"Ya Damn Skippy" I Said
He Chuckled "I Have So Many Questions-"
"No , You Still In Love With Her And Now You Have A Reason To See Her" I Said
He Let Out A Sigh "I'm With Nuria"
"Since When Do Relationships Stop People From Going After Someone Else?"
"Like You Did With Micheal" Corey Whispered But I Could Hear His Ass Clearly.
"But Don't Me Jump Over This Damn Coffee Table" I Said
"Mom...I-" I Got Up Quick To See Brooklyn Running Out Of Her Room Crying Her Eyes Out.
"What's Wrong Baby?" I Asked Handing Amaya To Corey As We Looked At Brooklyn Confused.
"My Face Hurts So Much , I Can't Deal With This Pain. I Thought It'll Go Away" She Cried
Jay Was At Work And The Twins Were In The Baby Room With My Mom. Every Time I Have A Baby My Mom Always Frequently Comes Over To Help Me Out.
"Okay Get Your Things Come On" I Said As I Grabbed My Keys.
My Mama Peeped Out Of The Twins Room "What's Going On?" She Asked
"Something's Going On With Brooklyn , Ima Take Her To The Hospital" I Replied Putting On My Tory Burch Flip Flops.
"Okay , Corey Help Me Put Zayden To Sleep While I Change Xania Pampers" My Mama Said
Corey Walked Into The Twins Room And Brooklyn Came Out Of Hers. We Walked Out The House Getting In The Car.
After About A Hour
The Doctor Walked In And I Could Tell By His Face It Wasn't Good News.
"Okay We Figured Out The Problem...Since You Say Your Face Hurts When You Brush Your Teeth , Speak And Even Brush Your Teeth. Brooklyn You Have Trigeminal Neuralgia" The Doctor Said
"What's That?" Brooklyn Asked , My Baby Was So Scared.
"A Chronic Pain Condition Affecting The Trigeminal Nerve In The Face" He Said
"Is It Curable?" I Asked
"No But Treatment Can Help With The Pain" He Answered
"Am I Gonna Die?" Brooklyn Asked As She Began To Tear Up.
I Walked Over To Her "No , But If You Take Your Medication You Should Be Just Fine With The Pain Aspect"
Brooklyn Began To Cry , I Embraced Her Into A Hug "It's Okay Baby...Everything Will Be Okay" I Said
"We Need To Keep Her For Observation For A Couple Weeks Just To Make Sure The Medication Works Because There Are Many Different Medications We Can Use For This Rare Condition "
I Nodded "Thank You Doc-"
Jay Busted The Door Open Immediately Embracing Brooklyn Into A Hug. "Are You Okay ?" He Asked
Brooklyn Just Cried Her Little Eyes Out "Im Scared" She Simply Stated.
"Mr.Carter , Can I Have A Word With You?" The Doctor Said. Jay Kissed My Forehead And Got Up Following Him Outside The Room.
"Calm Down Brook , You'll Be Fine" I Said Rubbing Her Tears.
"Its Not Fair...I Don't Want To Be Taking Medication For The Rest Of My Life Like I'm Old" She Said
"I Know Baby , But It Will Help And Relieve The Pain Your Gonna Have To Take It" I Said
She Looked Down , "How About You Get Some Rest Okay?"
She Nodded Laying Down "Lay With Me Please?"
"Of Course Baby" I Said Laying Next To Her As She Laid Her Head On My Chest Wrapping Her Arm Around My Body. I Kissed Her Head.

"This Is The Fourth Surgery Beyoncé, They Said They Wanted To Hold Her For Three Weeks For Medication Reasons Not Surgery...They're Not Telling Us Something" He Said
"Well The Doctor Said That Surgery Will He-"
"By The Fucking Fourth Time?! Our Daughter Is Suffering And You Just Wanna Listen To What The Doctor Is Saying ?!" He Yelled
"Yes! He Knows What He's Doing!" I Snapped
"All These Fucking Surgeries Are Fucking Up My Bank Account!"
"This Is For Our Daughter Shawn ! The Least You Can Do Is Be-"
"No The Least You Can Do Is Go Back To Work! Maternity Leave Been Over For You But You Wanna Use Our Sick Daughter As A Fucking Excuse Are You Shitting Me?! You Need To Fucking Help Out Before We're Out On The Damn Street!" He Yelled
"I'm Not The One That Moved Us Out Her Into This Expensive Ass House That You Want To Be Built! I Ain't Ask For This Shit!"
"You Can Go Right Back To L.A In The Crack Head Ass Apartments If Your Not Happy With The Shit I Tried To Make You Happy"
"Can Y'all Stop Arguing...Malaki Is Crying" Corey Said As He Stood By Our Bedroom Door.
"You See What The Fuck You Do!" I Yelled Walking Out The Room Past Corey.
I Heard Jay Suck His Teeth. "Man Fuck This Shit" Jay Said I Saw Him Grab His Keys And Leave The House. I Picked Up Malaki Comforting Him.
Corey Looked At Me Sympathetic, I Knew He Had Questions But I Wasn't About To Answer Them.
Jay POV
I Sped Down The Streets Heading To Work , I Wad Hella Late Anyways. I Parked Got Out And Stormed Into The Building Going Straight To My Office.
Once I Sat Down I Seen Gabriel Walk In "Everything Alright Partna?" She Chuckled. She Was The New Chick On The Block I Thought She Was Cool And Funny. We Got Along Great.
"Shit At Home" I Said Shaking My Head.
"Awww Damn, What Happened? And How's Your Daughter?" She Asked
"Not Well , Bey Won't Go Back To Work. So I'm The Only One Working Holding Down The Bills Taking Care Of The Twins And My Young Son While She Stays In The Hospital With Our Daughter She's 13 Not 5 , These Surgery Bills Is Expensive And Bey Is Not Giving Two Shits About It" I Said
"She's Just Being A Mother, Sometimes Life Gets Hard. Things Will Work Out" She Smiled
I Licked My Lips "I Doubt That Shit , We Had A Huge Fight And Our Son Was Crying. I Have Stress All On My Damn Back"
She Got Up Walking Over To Me Rubbing My Shoulders "How Does This Feel?"
"It Feels Good" I Said , That's What I Liked About Gabriel She Was Always There. Anytime I Wanted To Talk She Was There.
I Looked Up At Her "Thanks, Your Always Down For A Nigga"
She Laughed "That's What Friends For" She Said Softly. As I Laid My Head Back Closing My Eyes.
