Safaree dropped to his knees and sobbed. He didnt know what was wrong with Nicholas but but he knew it was something horrible and he didnt want to tell Nicki. Just then the doctor walked out.
"Sir are you the father?"
Safaree stood up and wiped his tears.
"Yes sir, whats going on?" He asked
"Your son's heart seems to have failed. He has a hole in his heart. We have put him on life support but he is brain dead. We will allow you 72 hours to say good bye to him and have any family come and see him before we take him off, Sir I am very sorry."
Safaree could feel his knees giving out. He sat on the floor and put his head in his hands.
SAFAREE POV
God, what have we done to deserve this? I am sorry for everything and I ask for forgiveness on me and Nicki's behalf. Please God help me to find some way to tell Nicki and please help her to be strong. I love you for the life you have given us and I am not being unappriciative. If it is your will God please save my son. If not, just make sure that his mommy and daddy love him very much and give him a very special place in Heaven. In Jesus Name, Amen.
Why me? He thought.. I dont know how I am going to tell Nicki that her son will be dead befor the end of the week. How am I even gonna take this? We have all the baby stuff at home and we're not going to have a baby there. Safaree started to feel sick.
"Um Sir, your son is in the ICU nursery and you can go see him. Then you can bring his mother."
"Thank You Doctor"
Safaree jumped up and ran to the nursery where he saw Nicholas hooked up to a lot of machines. He picked him up and sat down in the chair.
"Hey Nicholas... I think you can hear me, but I am not sure. I just want to tell you that I know I am not your real daddy but I wanted to be. I wanted to take you home and take care of you. I bought you a whole bunch of stuff, I loved you when you were still in your mommies tummy. I know you havent seen your mommy yet but I am going to bring her in here. I just have to warn you that she is going to be very sad to see you hooked up to all these machines. I prayed and asked God if maybe you could stay with us. I dont know what he is going to do yet I have to wait and see. But just know that daddy and mommy love you ok?"
With that he put baby Nicholas down and started what he felt like was the longest walk of his life.
When he got to the room Nicki was already standing up.
"Safaree what.."
"Nicki you need to come see your son" He cut her off.
"Whats wrong" She asked concerned
"He has a hole in his heart and he is allowed to be on life support for 72 hours then they have to take him off." Safaree started trying to hold back his tears
"My son is going to...die?" She sobbed.
"Nicki please hold yourself together until you say bye...Please"
He grabbed her hand and took her to the nursery. She ran to her son and picked him up. Safaree stood to the side to give her privacy.
"Baby, hi, its your mommy. You're gonna be ok. You're just sick right now. You'll get better for your mommy though right? I love you so much. We have so many toys for you at home. Your aunties Lauren and Candice are waiting on you! Oh, and you are making your daddy really sad. I have never seen him cry before. That shows me how much he loves you. You have his middle name. Its Lloyd. I love that name. He didnt want your first name to be Safaree because he wanted both of our names to be a part of your name so we chose Nicholas Lloyd. I have a big feeling that you will get better because mommy loves you. I am going to talk to the doctor and see what he says. Mommy will be right back and Daddy will be with you though."
She kissed his forehead and layed him down.
"Safaree I am going to talk to the doctor. Stay with Nick please." She said.
"Ok." He said kind of surprised.
Wow.. She doesnt think that he is going to die. Its going to hit her so hard.
"Hi Mr Johnson, I am here to talk to you about my son Nicholas Samuels.."
"Oh, Hi Ms Maraj. Your son has a hole in his heart so he is on life support. He can stay on for 72 hours. After that you can take him home and keep him there. He should be able to live for 3-4 days. After that I am afraid his heart will give out. It will be too weak."
Nicki started to sob.
"Can we take him home today?" Nicki said through her sobs.
"Sure. I will get the paper work ready." He grabbed her shoulder. "You can do this, you're a strong woman"
She thanked him and walked to her room. She knew Safaree was with Nicholas so she went in her room and put on her clothes to leave. She grabbed Nick's diaper bag and carseat. She walked to the nursery.
"Nicki what are you doing?"
"The doctor said we can take him home. He will be with us for 3-4 days.. I just dont want to be here."
LATER
Safaree pulled up to the house. He did not want to bring Nicholas home because they would both get attached. He could already tell Nicki was because she wouldnt let him do anything. She fed him, changed his diaper, and buckled his car seat. Safaree just watched. Nicki got out of the car and quickly went to the other side to get the carseat. Safaree stepped in front of her.
"Let me get this Nicki." He said sternly
"No Safaree I got it."
"You cannot be lifting things, I will get it."
She moved out of the way and Safaree got their son.
They went inside to live the next 3 days like they were their last. Safaree couldnt believe this was happening to them. She was 18 and he was 23.
Wow you guys... Emotional. Comment and let me know what you guys are thinking and what you want me to do. Love yall :) 10+ comments!
LAWWWWWWWWWWWWWD I KNOW I DIDN'T WANT HER TO HAVE IT AT FIRST, BUT NOW THEY ARE SO ATTACHED AND IF THEY ARE WILLING AND TRYING TO MAKE THIS WORK. I DNT SEE WHY THERE CAN'T BE A MIRACLE RECOVERY FOR BABY NICHOLAS. SMH I HOPE IT ALL TURNS OUT FOR THE BEST CUZ IF NOT SMH I KNOW THAT'S GONNA BE HARD ON BOTH OF THEM.
ReplyDeleteFor dramatic effect I say let the baby die. Their first child should be one they conceived together but if you want to keep the baby i think it would make for a good story line as well. Keep up the good work Christine.
ReplyDeleteOmgoodness I hope a miracle happens! This is adorable. They're so passionate in what they do...wow. I know how God works and he work in mysterious ways. :) great chapter Christine xoxo
ReplyDeleteaww :*( my poor baby gotta.go through thiS..

AWWWWWW I KNOW THE BABY was conceive wrong but this is too sad :"( like noooooooo her & Safaree are already attach to baby Nicholas but i guess God has plans! this was an wonderful chapter Christine <3
ReplyDeleteOMG, im so confused as to what i want now. The baby dying probably would be the best thing because it will have such difficulties in life and i want Nicki's first baby to be Safaree's but at the same time i know Nicki will just crumble when he eventually goes. I hope the next 3 days will be good ones where they can have memories with their son. This was a good chapter post soon xx
ReplyDelete:( i understand why he had to die but come on this is the saddest thing i ever read in my life.... i wanna hurt nicki's dad for doing this to her .... i have faith in them they can pull threw this
ReplyDeleteAwww so sad:(( I wonder how Nicki is going to go on after these 3 days are over...and is she goin to tell her parents about this? Hmm can't wait to see what happens!! Plz post soon xo
ReplyDeleteNaaaaaaa. No death. Even if it is dramatic. This is dramatic! Ima need a freaking miracle. I can't deal. This is bad enough. He cannot die. Don't do it!
ReplyDeleteGood chapters though. You have me hooked! Keep up the brilliant work ! xo
DeleteIf this is a story that's going to be similar to Nicki's life then the baby has to die , but if it's gonna be different then don't let baby Nicholas die.
