All I Want Is That Hood Love 2 by Mercedes G

LABOR!!!
                  Oh shit!!! I didn’t have time to check anything else. I ran and jumped in the shower. I washed my dick damn near five minutes straight trying to get Mrs. Debra’s fluid off of me. I was trying to make sure it was all the way gone. I felt filthy. About ten minutes later, I was on the highway with my emergency lights on heading to Albany. I had the pedal to the floor. Nothing or no one was going to stop me from seeing my first born enter this world. I called Taysia’s phone damn near ten times but she didn’t answer. Fuck it! I hope by the time she calls back, I have my lie together, because I was about to be MIA for a while.

Chapter 14
    NATAYSIA
     
    I felt sorry for MeMe as I watched her have contractions back to back. She wasn’t fully dilated, so the nurses were constantly in and out of her room checking her cervix. I wanted to take pictures of her but I had left my phone in my car. MeMe didn’t want me to tell Mega that she was in labor because she felt like Mega and her baby daddy might run into each other if they both showed up. I wanted so badly to ask her where the hell her baby daddy was and why wasn’t he here with her holding her hand instead of me, but I kept my mouth shut. It saddened me to watch her go through this alone. I wish JaMel would try some shit like this with me. I knew a part of her was hurting because her baby daddy wasn’t here. I watched her through my rearview mirror on our way to the hospital, call him numerous of times but he wouldn’t answer. MeMe and I were the only two in the room. Mrs. Mildred and Meme’s friend, Shay was in the waiting room.
                  Kira had reached out to everybody and informed them that the baby shower had been cancelled until further notice. I looked at the lines on the monitor and saw that MeMe was about to have another contraction. I rub her hand gently as she squeezed the shit out of mine and screamed.
                  “OHHHHHH! GOD!!!! JESUS!!!” she cried out. “I WANT THE EPIDURAL!!!! Please go get my nurse and tell her to give me the epidural!” MeMe was crying hard as hell. I buzzed Meme’s nurse and she came in right away to check her cervix.
                  “Mrs. Banks, it looks like you are making progress. You’re at five and a half centimeters now, are you sure want to get an epidural”
    “Oh Lord....well how long is it going to be...I can’t go any longer!!” MeMe whined to the nurse.
    “Right now we’re on the baby’s watch. You’re making great progress so the baby should be out soon.”
                  “Okay. I think I can go on without it,” MeMe said. I know she had been telling me that she wanted to have a natural birth.
                  With that being said, the nurse removed her blue latex gloves and threw them in the trash. She stuck her hands under the hand sanitizer machine on her way out and closed the door.
                  “Taysia, look in my bag and get my phone for me. I need you to call my baby daddy and tell him to bring his ass!!!!”
    “Ok, what’s his number?” I asked.
    “Press send....he was the last person I called. He’s stored under baby daddy.”
    “Ok.”
                  I pressed send and I saw where MeMe had called ‘baby daddy’ damn near a thousand times. I pressed send again and my heart stopped when I saw my husband’s face pop up on her screen. I was not prepared for this shit!
                  “OH MY GOD! THIS…THIS IS MY HUSBAND MEME!!!!” I yelled at her. My entire body went numb as I fell to the floor with Meme’s phone in my hand.

                  When I finally regained consciousness, I was in a room down in the emergency department. They had started an IV, and the blood pressure machine was wrapped around my arm. I replayed the events in my head and I was still in disbelief. There was no way possible that my husband was
