"Push!"

I shut my eyes tightly and pushed as hard as I could.

"That's it, he's almost here." The doctor cooed.

I laid my head back on the pillow with sweat dripping down my face and closed my eyes, feeling like I was about to pass out.

"Janaee." Cameron panicked and tapped my arm.

"No, no, no!" The doctor yelled. "I need you to push!"

I-I can't." I said faintly.

"Yes you can ma, I promise you almost done."

I felt another contraction coming along, so I gathered up all my strength and pushed as hard as I could.

"AAAAAAAH!"

"Come on, just one more."

this baby better b cute .

I laid back on the pillow again, breathing heavily and Cameron took a cold towel and dabbed my forehead.

"Janaee! Push! If you stop now, he might not make it!"

"I can't!" I cried.

"Yes you can, just one more."

just one more .

I took a deep breath and mustered all the strength I had left before squeezing Cameron's hand and pushing as hard as I could.

"There you go." The doctor cooed softly, and a few seconds later a loud cry filled the room.

The doctor and nurses cleaned my baby off and did everything else they had to do before carefully handing him to me.

"He's here." I cried and rocked him softly to soothe him. "Hi stink, I'm ma-ma and that's da-da."

Cameron held his finger out for him to grab and he grabbed it, holding onto it tightly.

"Hey Mini Homicide."

"We'll give you a moment with him before we take him for his hearing test." The doctor smiled and grabbed her clipboard before walking out the room.

"When they take him, go with him." I looked at Cameron. "Cause when doctors say that in movies, they don't bring the babies back."

I looked back down at my baby and smiled in disbelief, still in shock that I'm a mother.

"He look just like the both of us." Cameron smiled.

"You wanna hold him?" He nodded his head yes and held his arms out in response and I carefully placed our son in his arms.

"I can't believe we really made him." Cameron said in awe. "He so calm." He rocked the baby softly as the nurse approached us, coming closer to the bed.

"He's very adorable." She smiled. "Did you guys pick out a name yet?" 

"Yes." I nodded my head. "Jaydyn Ziad Coleman."

She wrote it down on her clipboard and looked up at Cameron.

"Alright, and this is the baby's father. Correct?"

"Yeah."

"Great." She moved to her computer and printed out the birth certificate before briefly showing it to us. "Here's the birth certificate, you can pick it up from the front desk whenever you're discharged."

"Thank you." I said faintly as she exited the room and I heard soft cries from Jaydyn.

"Here, I think he want you." Cameron carefully placed him back in my arms and I kissed him softly on the forehead.

"You finally here stink, everybody been waiting on you."

"Now we can start working on giving you a sister."

"You finna see yo da da get cussed out for the first time too." I eyed Cameron. 

"My son said he don't wanna hear that right now." He huffed. "He said he want peace."

I rolled my eyes, ignoring him and looked down at Jaydyn, who just laid there wide awake but peacefully in my arms.

I held my finger out and he grabbed onto it tightly, instantly bringing tears to my eyes.

"I love you mommy's boy, and I promise to try my best to protect you from any and all bad things in this world. You're mommy's first priority."

Cameron wrapped his arm around my shoulders and stuck his finger out and Jaydyn grabbed it tightly with his other hand.

"You're our first priority." He corrected me. "I'ma sacrifice any and everything I have to to make sure y'all straight." He looked at me. "Since we know how we felt growing up, we gotta raise him differently and make sure he never feel how we did. We gotta show him different and remember that we the ones that made it out."

————————

"Hey TT baby."

"No Lexi, he needa look over here." 

"If y'all don't take them flashes off my son." I scrunched my face up. "Y'all gon make his eyes hurt."

"I'm sorry but look." Lexi handed me her phone and showed me the pictures she just took.

"You can't tell me my nephew ain't sexy." 

"That's yo nephew but he my boyfriend." Kennedy stuck her tongue out at Lexi and I took the chain off Jaydyn before fixing the hat on his head.

"My son said you too old for him." Cameron mugged her.

"Who the hell put this chain on my baby?"

"Me." Lexi said proudly. "It went with the fit so I was like, why not?" She shrugged and I sighed.

"Since that's yo boyfriend, be ghetto and sleep on the couch tonight." Teezy mushed Kennedy head and came closer to my bedside.

"Best, let me hold my godson."

"Teezy, don't drop my baby." Cameron warned him and I carefully placed him in his arms.

"Somebody need to drop you." Teezy mumbled while mugging Cameron as Papa, Myla, and Von walked in with gifts and balloons.

"Hey Peanut." Papa came over and kissed my cheek.

"Hey Papa." I smiled. "Where Asia and Dboy?"

"Asia got held up at the salon and Dboy there with her." Myla told me. "These gifts from them though, they said they sorry they couldn't be here."

"It's cool."

"Gimmie my damn grandson, caucasian!" Papa snapped at Teezy and his eyes got wide.

"Papa don't yell." I told him. "You know Teezy get nervous when you yell at him and ion need him dying cause he dropped my son."

"As long as you know them the consequences." Cameron said.

"Why y'all talking bout me like I'm not right here?" Teezy scrunched his face up. "And shut up cause ain't nobody dropping this big head ass baby."

"Not too much on my son though."

"Ion know why you talking." He looked at me. "His head big cause of you." I smacked my lips.

"Okay cause my head not even big so don't do too much."

"Just give him here." Papa held his arms out. "One grandson please."

"You stay doing that." I laughed and Teezy gave Jaydyn to Papa.

"Y'all just passing my son around like a blunt, ion like dat."

"Right, he don't even like y'all like that." Lexi added and Jaydyn started whining softly.

"Papa what you do to my baby?"

"Nothing he jus—" Jaydyn started crying louder and Papa held him out to me. "Just take him." I took him and he instantly stopped crying.

"Look." Cameron shook his head. "This why I need a daughter cause he a mama's boy already." 

I smiled at Jaydyn as Tyler, Slim, and Chief walked in the room holding food and stuffed animals.

"Here bae." Tyler sat a bag of food on the small table beside me. "There go a sub and some fries cause I know hospital food nasty."

"Got my lil sis in here eating Jell-O."

"Hey lil man." Slim cooed at Jaydyn.

"This shit crazy man." Chief shook his head. "Killa, he look just like you when you was a baby."

"I know." Cameron smiled. "Me and Kennedy said the same thing."

"Friend." Teezy stale faced Tyler.

"Yes Mr.Caucasian sir?"

"You ain't bring me no food?"

"No—"

"And why didn't you?"

"Cause you able to get yo own food."

"But why would I get my own when you coulda got it for me?" He motioned to my bag of food. "You got my bestie some, why you ain't get me none? I thought we was friends."

"Becaus—"

"You know what? ion even care no more bruh." He held his hand up. "This is ghetto and I'm replacing you cause you don't love me."

"I see why y'all besties." Papa mumbled to me. "Y'all both dramatic as hell for no reason."

"Bae, it's okay we gon get you some food when we leave."

"But I'm hungry now Kennedy, fuck I'm supposed to do til then? Starve?"

"Nigga said he want eat eat now."

"He said you shouldn't be able to see his rib cage."

"He said he tired of losing weight and poptarts and helping him gain nothing."

"I'm finna kick y'all out if y'all don't leave my best alone." I mugged them.

"Period best call security and have them walked off the premises cause I'm tired of the harrassment."

"Y'all finna have to get out anyway cause my son about to go to sleep." Cameron said and I looked down at Jaydyn as his eyes started to close.

"Here best." I carefully reached over and got my fries out the bag. "You want my fries?"

"Thank you bestie." He beamed and took them. "Told y'all she the only one who care about me."

"Boy, I told you we was gon get some food when we leav—"

"Unt unt, ion wanna hear a word outta you Kennedy." He threw a fry at her. "Not a fucking peep."

"What about a whisper?" Cameron butted in and Papa laughed.

"Y'all a damn mess."

"Sis, we finna head out." Lexi came and gave me a kiss on my forehead. "I love you and I love you too nephew." She kissed Jaydyn softly too.

"Aight, we gon see y'all." Sheed hugged me and gave Cameron dap. "Call us if y'all need some."

"Fasho."

"We finna leave too friend." Myla hugged me. "See you later lil man."

"Bye guys." I waved and smiled.

"We finna roll out too cause my food in the car and ion want it getting cold." Chief came over and hugged me.

"Aight y'all."

"Bae you know Lexi and Sheed our ride." Kennedy said. "We finna have to go too."

"Fuck you, I'm staying with bestie and both the Homicide's until visiting hours over." Teezy mugged her and she mugged him back.

"I'ma just Uber home cause Chief, yo car still smell like Family Dollar cologne."
