pulled up to the address Lakey gave me and I had to admit that I was fucking impressed. I called him and told him I was outside.
“I’m on my way down.”
Five minutes later he walked out and came to my car.
He got in and sighed. “Okay look, there is somebody up there that I know you don’t want to see but I need you to know that they are more useful to us alive than they are dead, especially now knowing this new piece of information I just found out. So when you get up there please try to keep it cool and don’t react too fast.”
“Who is it?”
“You’ll see when you get in. second, Neicey cannot know you are here until it’s time to reveal that. I don’t want her crazy ass going off on me and putting a bullet in my ass.”
I laughed. “Cool, man let’s just do this.”
We walked up to his condo. As soon as he opened his door I saw who was sitting on his couch and damn near pulled my gun on this bitch. I just stood there mugging this nigga and he had a smirk on his face.
“So we meet again,” he said smugly.
I snapped. I punched that bitch right in his jaw. I kept punching him, letting all my frustrations out on his ass. He better be glad I left my fucking gin at home.
“Alright, enough Kell! Chill out man,” Lakey yelled.
That bitch was wiping his mouth off looking like he wanted to kill me when his phone started ringing.
“Why you ain’t tell me this nigga was here?” I snapped
“Yo! Lakey we need to go, the baby is on the way,” Kamil said before Lakey could answer.
“Oh shit, come on y’all.”
Twenty minutes later we pulled up at Mercy Hospital. I was confused as hell about what was going on but I went for the ride anyway.
Lakey ran ahead of us and went to the nurses’ station. He ran into a room and I sat in the waiting room. Five minutes later he came out to come get me.
“Come on Kell.”
I looked at this nigga like he was crazy. He laughed, “Nigga just come on.”
I followed him to the room to see a very pregnant Neicey cussing the doctors out.
I looked at Lakey and he smiled. “Nigga will you get over there and help deliver yo baby?”
I didn’t say anything, I just walked over to Neicey her eyes damn near popped out her head when she seen me.
“I hope you didn’t think you was having his baby without me,” I said grabbing her hand.
“Tell Lakey I’m going to kill him,” she said breathing hard.
The monitor Neicey was hooked up to started to flat line.
“Diane! Go get the doctor and tell him we need to deliver this baby now! We’re losing her,” one of the nurses said.
I felt my heart drop in my fucking stomach when I heard that.
“Wait, what’s wrong with my baby?” Neicey said panicking.
“Keep calm Ms. Peake, right now you just need to push and push hard,” the nurse said.
I stayed quiet silently praying that my baby would make it. Hell, I didn’t even know I was about to be a dad again until a few minutes ago.
“AHHHHHH!” Neicey screamed while pushing. My hand was going fucking numb from all that squeezing she was doing. The doctor ran into the room and took the nurse’s place.
“Okay, one more big push,” he
