" Ma, I'm bout to head back to the hospital. " I yelled downstairs to my parents. I just finished packing an over night bag so I stay at the hospital with Deja. Getting the news that she was in a coma and there's no telling when she'll wake up was devastating. I can only blame myself. If only I had been honest and told her before all this happened. She doesn't deserve this, not my angel.

" Son, slow down. I just talked to the coach. He said take all the time you need. " Pa said as I ran downstairs towards the front door. In moments like this, I'm glad I'm the son of team owner.

" Thanks dad. I gotta go " I said running into the kitchen tryna find my phone.

" Y'all seen my phone " I said urgently looking for it.

" Son. Calm down. We need to talk " Ma said calmly.

" I need to be there for my wife. I'm sorry Ma . I don't have the time for this right now " I brushed her off.

" Now time and time again I told you to tell Deja about Mia. Now see what has happened. " Ma scolded. I don't have time for this shit. I already know I fucked up.

" Ma I know. " I said.

" Well if you knew, you should have told her from the beginning. " she said.

I took a seat at the island.

" Now as your parents we love you and we love Deja like a daughter. Do you know how hard it was to keep this secret. I could see the pain in Deja's eyes every time she miscarried and all I could do is support her knowing my son , her husband has a child already. " Ma said teary-eyed.

" When were you gonna tell her son " Pa asked.

" I was I just didn't know when. I never wanted to hurt her. I love her so much. I was selfish and worried about my needs. " I said.

" This whole family had to keep your secret us, your brother and his wife " Pa said.

" I know I'm sorry. " I said.

" I'm sorry son. Sorry isn't good enough. Your wife is in a coma. You got a child with another woman. " he said.

" I'm grateful y'all stepped in to help me with Mia. I'm sorry I put y'all through this " I sighed.

When I told my parents about Kayla being pregnant, they were disappointed. Ma cursed me out from Atlanta to California. Pa was upset. They love Deja. We been together since high-school. My brother was pissed rightfully so, his wife is my wife's best friend.

" Kayla is a good mom, I will always have and respect for when it comes to that but, she's not Deja. Son you screwed up. What will happen to your marriage if Deja wakes up " Pa asked said shaking his head looking at me disappointed. I never meant for this to happen but, I don't regret my daughter.

" There's no if , she will wake up " I said irritated. Deja is a strong woman. We can get through this, I just need my baby right now.

" Son, you know what I meant. I'm just saying... " Pa said just as the doorbell rang.

" Let me get the door, it might be your brother and sister-n-law " Ma said walking towards the door. 

" Daddy " I heard what sounded like Mia's voice from the living room.

I bolted in there surprised to see Kayla holding Mia on her hip.  

" Mia baby...  what you doing here Kayla " I said I grabbed my daughter from her. 

" I wanted to come over and tell you the surprise, were moving to Atlanta " She said smiling ear to ear.
