****Indigo vanity p.o.v****
After getting off the phone with Lexi i quickly grabbed my keys that i had thrown on the table and rushed out to the garage. As i got into my car i began dialing Corahn's number to let him know I'm on my way to get him. The dial tone rang a couple of times before he answered.
"Hello?"He said slowly.
"CORAHN LEXI IS GOING INTO LABOR!" I yelled exaggerating.
"What..?
"You know what Corahn! I do have time to explain this shit to you, i coming to get you, and we are going down to the hospital to see her."
"I have my car though." He began laughing.
"You know what your high right now and i really don't have time for you to be acting stupid so i coming t get you in like 3 minutes so bye." I hung up the phone and pulled out f the garage. On my to Vinny's house, my palms were sweating and my heart was pounding of excitement. I was excited that little baby Corahyn was coming into this world to light up her parents lives and in hopes to make things better between them. But then again.. i was nervous. I knew that Julian may be up at the hospital and its been a week since i seen him. I could still see the hatred in his eyes by the way he glares at me. I just want to make things right between us. We don't have to be together but at least we can be on good terms. I pulled into the driveway of Vinny's house and quickly jumped out with out taking out the keys. I ran up to the front door and knocked on the door. Nobody came to answered it. I twisted the nob to find that it was unlocked. I opened the door and walked inside the house. Tyga blasting from upstairs was what filled the house. I walked towards the music witch led me to Vinny's room. I opened the door and the grey smoke smacked me in my face. I could barley see. It made no since for two people to smoke like that. Finally i regained my vision and spotted the two slumped over coughing and laughing on Vinny's couch.
"BRO!" Vinny laughed.
"Wassup?"Corahn replied.
"Who is that?" Vinny pointed in my direction. I walked towards them so they could get a better view of who I was.
"Indi?" Corahn said standing up.
"We gotta go!"I said grabbing corahns hand pulling him up.
"I don't want to go!"He yelled standing there.
"What the fuck you mean you dont want to go!" I let go of his hand and turned toward him.
"I don't want to go to that damn hospital!"
"who in the hospital?"Vinny asked.
"Lexi went into to labor." I replied.
Vinny gasped and then struggled to stand up.
"Corahn bro you gotta go.. You cant miss the best thing in your life." Vinny said slowly.
Corahn looked at me and then looked Vinny and began walking out the room.
"Thanks Vinny." I said giving Vinny a hug.
"Your welcome, but can i go to?"
"Of course!"
"cool."
I walked out the room, down the stairs, and out the front door. Vinny was behind me locking the front door. I hopped in the drivers seat and closed the door behind me. I looked over at corahn who was knocked out. I wasn't sure what his mood was but i just knew that once that highness warred off of him, he would be the happiest man ever. After Vinny got in the backseat i pulled out the drive way and began driving to the hospital where Lexi was.
*30 minutes later..*
Parking was a hassle. There was no close parking spaces and on top of that i had to pay 5 extra dollars for a far ass parking space. After parking i took the key out of the ignition and woke the two boys up.
"We are here." i said shaking corahn.
"alright, alright, alright I'm up." He said rubbing his eyes and opening the car door. Vinny was already out the car waiting for us to get out. I got out the car and walked towards the hospital with Corahn and Vinny following behind me. From a distance i could hear Vinny asking "You ready bro?"
"Nah." Corahn replied.
I shook my head and walked into the hospital doors. I told Vinny and Corahn to sit in the waiting room while i went to the lady in the front desk.
"Hi what room is Lexi gains in?" I asked standing among the front desk.
"Shes in room 114." the lady at the front desk said pointing towards the room.
"Ok thank you."
I quickly rushed to the hospital room where lexi was placed. Once i got there the whole Goings family was piled in the room either sleep or looking at TV. I knocked on the door and then walked in.
"Hey.." I said walking slowly towards Lexi.
"Hey wassup?"Everyone replied. Well everyone BUT Julian.
"Nothing much."
"Uh i gotta go handle some business i will be back in like 20 minutes." Julian said getting up from his chair and leaving the room. When he left he gave me a hard glare and brush my shoulder with his.
'That boy just dont know how to let things go!" Ms. Tammy exclaimed throwing her hands up.
"RIGHT!" Brian exclaim out of his sleep.
"Shut up and go back to sleep."
I walked over to Lexi's bedside. She was sleep and all you can here is her babies heart beat. I smiled at her sleeping face and rubbed her soft butter tone hand.
"Um i will be right back."I said remembering that Corahn and Vinny were out in the waiting room sleeping. I knew what could get them over there highness quicker -- FOOD AND SOMETHING TO DRINK! I walked over to the vending machine and got two sprites out the soda machine and two honey buns from the regular vending machine. As i walked over towards them i got strange looks from most of the people in the waiting room. Maybe its because i have this short dress on these killer pumps. When i say killer i mean that they are murdering my feet. I walked over to the boys and woke them up holding their drinks and food in front of them. Corahn was the first one up, rubbing his eyes and yawning.
"Thanks." they both said taking the items out my hand.
"No problem, in a few minutes i need t take yall home so we can all change because you guys smell like straight weed and sweat and my feet are killing me."
"Alright." Corahn replied.
"Oh shit i really don't feel like re parking." I replied trying to think of a different soltion. But there is no other solution so i just had face it take my car to go home. After 15 minutes of just sitting in the waiting room with Corahn and Vinny we finally got ready to go home and change and then comeback. Hopefully by the time we come back she doesn't have the baby.
*Lexi P.O.V*
My eyes shot open to the sound of my phones alarm clock. I cant be 6 am already. I'm still dilating but i wasn't in pain. I wasn't sure how far i was dilating but i knew that i was close to having this baby. Knowing that baby Corahyn was coming brought out the excitement in me. Having her was what i was nervous about. I'm not ready for the pain, sweat, and maybe tears. I looked around the room to see indigo in her Oklahoma hoodie, sweat pant, and Jordan's. I also say balloons that says its a girl and pink roses right next the hospital bed side. I wasn't sure who else was here nor did i really care. I grabbed my phone off the night stand and cut off the alarm clock. I also had 20 text messages from people at school saying "Good Luck!" "God Bless you and your child." and so on. How did they know i was at the hospital? Maybe someone who was here posted it on facebook. One text message that stood out from the rest of them.It was Ant.
Ant:Wryd?
Lexi:At the hospital.
Ant:YOU HAD THE BABY!?
Lexi:Not yet and how you didnt know but everyone else did?
Ant:Deactivated my Facebook.. but im on my way.
Lexi:Alright..
*End of convo*
I cut off my phone and placed it back on the nightstand.
"You slept good?" My auntie Tammy asked.
I nodded because i didn't have the strength to say anything.
"Corahn is here, you want me to go get him?" Indigo said standing up.
"I don't care.." I said with my raspy voice.
"OK." She walked out the room.. waved and came back in with Vinny, Corahn, and Ali.
"HEY!" Ali said running over to me and hugging me tightly.
"Damn." I replied smiling.
"Hey beautiful." Vinny said hugging me next.
"Hi vin."
After him was corahn. But i didn't get a hug nor a kiss i just got a "Wassup?"
"Wow Corahn.. that's how you feel?" I said rolling my eyes.
"oh my god Lexi what are you tripping on now!" Corahn said huffing and puffing.
"if you dont want to be here you can leave."
"I never said that."
"actions speak louder than words." I said.
"No they don't!" He said walking over towards me and plopping in the seat next to the hospital bed.
"Shut the fuck up."
"Lexi can please stop acting like that!"
'Actting like what! Your the one who came in here with a stank attitude."
'That's where your wrong.. I didn't have and attitude."
"You did!"
"Alright think what you want." He slumped down in the chair and put his hands over his face.
"Alright maybe we all need to give y'all some time to talk so everyone out." Auntie Tammy said. She walked out the room with everyone following her. Someone closed the door behind the mob and left us in silence.
"Do you really want to be in this relationship?"I asked my voice still raspy.
"i don't know.." He replied.
"Ok Corahn since you don't know, then i could just pack my shit up and leave! Its no problem!"
I could hear him sigh and then rub his eyes. When he removed his fingers from his eyes I could see a clear tear roll down his face. I couldn't believe he was crying.
"The last thing i want is you to leave with my child. But then again.. i think its best that you move back with your family but i want us to still interact and date and be a family."
I nodded in agreement.
"I don't want to be free from your love Lexi because i really do Love you!" Corahn said connecting his green eyes with mine.
"Don't seem like it ." I said coldly.
"What do i have to do to prove to you that i love you?"
"Stop acting like a dumb ass."
"Alright.. i'll do it. What else?"
"Take care of your responsibility."
"Alright."
"That's it."
"Ok." he nodded in agreement.
"L:OK im sor-"
"OMG ITS COMING!" I suddenly began to scream in pain.
"Whats coming!" Corahn said standing up in confusion.
"THE BABY! GET THE NURSE!" I yelled.
"Alright!" He began to panic and run down to the front desk to call for a nurse. When he came back in he had the Doctor, three nurses, My auntie, and indigo. I couldn't take the pain! It was like being stabbed in the stomach and cut in the vagina three billion times.
"OK honey I'm going to need you to calm down and take deep breaths." One nurse said stroking my hair back. I did what she told me and opened my legs so the doctor could take a look.
"You are defiantly fully dilated!" He getting up to put on his gear. He put on the hair cap, the face mask, a blue backwards coat to cover his shirt, and latex gloves. He gave Corahn the same thing to put on and i got ready to have the baby.
"Ok i want you to count to 5, breath after every number, and push." The doctor said giving me directions. I nodded in agreement and prepared to do so. My auntie was holding my right leg, Indigo was holding my left leg, and Corahn was all dressed up standing next to the doctor recording the action on his phone.
I began to count and breath, count and breath, count and breath, and PUSH
"AHHHHHHHHH.!"I let a scream that would leave you deaf. I did the method a couple more times holding on the metal bars on the side of the bed. With sweat dripping from my fore head down to my face, i felt like almost giving up and asking for a C-section but the main moral of life is to preserver through pain and that's what I'm going to do. I took one last push with all my might, lifting up from the pillows i laid on, and holding on to the metal bars until my hands hurt. Once i did that i felt a pop and then i herd a cry. My heart nearly jumped out me chest. I did it. I finally accomplished something. I closed my eyes a fell back on to the pillows on the hospital bed. When i opened my eyes i seen my beautiful bad, with her pale with skin, and her loud sobs that cried out out for my love. I looked around the room to see smiling faces minus one. Corahn was not in there.
"Wheres corahn?" i asked.
"He went out to get some air, he was so pale he looked like he was going to fall out any second." My auntie said smiling.
I nodded and closed my eyes again. I was tired from all the pushing and the first thing i needed was a couple of minutes of rest. I thought of the numbers 5/5/12 the numbers i will cherish for the rest of my life. At 6:37am My baby girl Corahyn Kaydence Lockridge was born at 6lb and 8oz. I opened my eyes once again and my baby girl was placed on my chest.She was so warm and her skin was so soft. Many of my friends and family came rushing into the hospital room. With smiles slapped on their face.
"Congratulations!" They all said coming up to have a closer look of the baby. I rocked her back and forth stroking her think curly hair. I kissed her soft little lips and embraced her. I loved when she smile a little and then go back to a calm peaceful sleep she was in. Finally after an 1 hour of being gone Corahn came back in the room and walked slowly towards us. He began to stroke my cheek and leaned in for a long passionate kiss. After our lips departed he looked down at Corahyn and smiled.
"She kind of looks like me." He said.
"Yeah she has the nose and the lips, just imagine what her eyes look like." I replied back.
"its probaly going to be green."
"I actually think its going to be like a different color than ours."
"True." he shrugged.
5/5/12 Is the day that changed my life... Things wont get easier i know. but if i preserver through pain, struggle,and hurt i know that i will survive as an independent women. This is my new life.... this is a whole new world.
