(the night he woke up in the hospital )

I woke up to the pungent smell of hospital disinfect, invading my nostrils.I felt powerless and heavy. I could not move my hand, my head or my body.

The room was silent apart from my heavy breathing and the beep beep sound you often hear in hospitals that indicates you're alive. I slowly opened my eyes, squinting in attempt to sharpen the blurred images before me. I glanced around and took in the deserted, blue and white color schemed hospital bedroom.

How long have I been here? I shut my eyes, trying to remember what had exactly happened. Then it all hits me with a bang. The memory of it all starts to occupy my thoughts.
I remember me getting beaten with a bat by some girl I remember her face but her name couldn't come to mind, I started visioning the whole scene the last thing I saw was the girl beating me with me bat then getting hit in the head with some glass.

I looked down at my leg to see it in a cask, so many thoughts ran through my mind 'why was that girl beating me and who hit her with the glass?', 'was the girl trying to save me?" I asked myself multiple questions but they were shortly interrupted by a doctor coming in the room

"I see you're awake how do you feel?" he asks, "I'm good doc how long have I been here, "you don't remember anything do you?", "I mean I remember my friends and my pregnant girlfriend and I remember getting beat up with a bat and that's it" I explained. "Well you've been in here for 2 weeks and you popped a blood vessel in your brain because you took a bad hit to the head with the bat and had a lot of brain damage but we fixed that," he says
I nod in response "well get you some rest" the doctor says before turning off the room light and leaving.

INDIA
The next day

I woken up happy as ever, "Baby boy, your daddy's coming home soon," I said happily rubbing my stomach as the baby kicked, I did my daily morning routine and got dressed making my way to the hospital

AT THE HOSPITAL+
I went inside Trays room seeing Dev and him talking "Yo look who's here" Dev said pointing at me. "Can you give me and him some time?" I ask, "Yeah, I'll catch you later bro," he said getting up from the chair dapping him up. He then walked out of the room as I sat in the chair that was next to Trays bed.

"How are you holding up" I adjusted my seat, "I'm good my leg is feeling good, how's my child doing" he says sitting up a little, "He's doing good" I smiled."He? We're having a boy?" he said as a big smile grew across his face, "Yea wanna feel?" I ask as he nods. I grabbed his hand and placed it on my stomach, the baby started kicking "Hey little guy can't wait to meet your gonna be just like me" Tray said rubbing his hand all over my belly

I don't know about all that I thought to myself

In the mix of Tray rubbing his hand on my stomach, the baby started kicking very aggressively. "Alright move your hand he's going crazy," I say, Tray then moves his hand "So you got any names for him I was thinking De'Andre Tracy Billingsley," I say rubbing my stomach a little. "Nah how about Josiah Tracy Billingsley I like that better" he smiles

"Yeah that's better, when did they say you could get out the hospital," I asked playing with my nails a little. "They said I can go home today"."For real let's go right now" he then nods

A couple minutes later
I signed Tray out the hospital, we were currently in the car driving to our house."So what happened" he asks out of nowhere, "what do you mean" I question him back. "I mean how did I exactly get in the hospital?, I remember getting beaten with a bat by some girl but do you know who did it?" he asks

"Your ex-wife, Jennifer she did it," I say paying attention the road, "Where is she?". "Shes dead" I respond as I felt a big knot in my chest. "How did she die?" I knew this question was coming, "If I tell you who did it and how you have to promise you won't get mad" I say turning to look at him as he nods, I turn my attention back to the road  "I killed her Tray, when she was beating you with the bat I hit her in the head and beat her to death, I buried her body. I only did it for you to keep you safe" I say crying a little, "Don't cry India you only did what a loyal down girlfriend was supposed to do to, just gives me another reason why I should marry you"He smiles placing his hand on my stomach 

"You wanna marry me?" I questioned him , I've never had a guy that I was dating mention marriage ever. Usually guys just wanted me for sex and just because I was a stripper, This was all different to me.  "Yes I do wanna marry you it's gonna be soon, real soon" he says making me blush a little

We pulled up in front of the house, I got out the car first and helped Tray out because of his leg. He held on to my shoulder for support as we walked inside the house, I sit him down on the couch a long with his hospital bag before locking the house door, "So did the doctor give you any meds to take or anything" I ask sitting next to him, "Yea they gave me pain killers why?" 

"I was just asking because I seen some pills in the bathroom cabinet, when were you going tell me that you had  a Bipolar Disorder" I say "I mean did I have to tell you? it was pretty obvious because my mood swings". "I guess your right Tray but shouldn't you be taking the pills" I say 

"no I'm good I don't need them India, seriously" He says smiling a little

"I guess" I laughed nervously
