"It's my time..." I gently laid back in the grass as I stared up at the moving clouds above me.

The sun gazed down on me as I soaked in the ambience of what was called "the middle place", I knew all to well where I was, because I've been here before.

I heard a faint giggle coming from the far left side of me, so I sat up and looked in that direction.

"Mama?" I questioned with a wide grin.

"Hey baby," she embraced me in a hug and gently kissed my cheek, "I'm worried about you, this isn't the place to be, again." She cupped my face and studied my expressions.

"It's like, something keeps pulling me back to you. I don't want to leave my family down there but, everything all comes back to you Ma." I sniffed and flexed my jaw bones as I looked away from her, not wanting her to see me cry.

"Just because you don't see me everyday, or talk to me everyday doesn't mean I'm not in your life, I'm still watching over my babies, and I'm still with you every step you take, don't give up on them." She whispered.

I took a deep breath and shook my head, I don't think I can keep going through this, or putting Lyric and Monique through this. But then again, what type of man would I be to leave my my girl, my baby and soon to be child all alone in this world.

I made eye contact with my mom as she watched me, giving me the "you know what to do" look.

"Ight ma," I laughed and playfully nudged her, "I'll head back, I was really just waiting to see you."

"Well now you saw me, get on back to my grand babies and daughter in law. Don't come back here okay? Let me visit you sometimes." We shared a laugh and stood up. "I love you son, forever. And even when you think I'm not there, or think you're alone, just know mama's got you."

I engulfed her in a hug and wiped the tears that fell, I kissed her cheek before we departed ways. She disappeared into the foggy distance, and I returned to life...

Beep beep beep beep...

"We have a heart beat!" I heard a female's voice announce.

"Grab the defibrillator and lets not let that heart rate slip again!"

I shot up and looked around the room, "I don't know what a defibrillator is, but I guarantee I don't need it, I'm good. Can I just see my family."

"Well sir, you just woke up from a seven hour coma, with serious injuries, I think it's best if you just rest right now." The lady nurse said with her hand placed on my shoulder.

I looked at her hand, then back to her. She quickly removed it and went back to her clipboard, marking off some things on the paper, and asking me a series of questions.

"What's the date?" She asked another annoying ass question.

"January first, two thousand sixteen." I stated, clearly agitated. "I'm ready to see my peoples, can y'all speed this up."

"You need rest Mr. Watts, do you understand the amount of blessedness you have upon you, Mr. Korie, I hate to be a stickler, but I don't know how you're alive."

"I understand all of that, but I'm good, can I just see my family.

"Sure." The nurse answered before the doctor could and walked out.

"You know, you're pretty lucky son."

"Not even the least bit," I winced in pain as I tried to adjust my body in the bed.

"To pull through after four gun wounds, barely missing major arteries, is quite lucky. There are some officers outside who would like to talk-"

"No, I don't wanna talk to no damn pigs, I don't remember nothin'. They can leave cause I refuse to talk to 'em." I turned in the uncomfortable hospital bed and reached for the water that sat next to me.

"I'll let them know, you just rest and try to stay comfortable. The meds you're on should be wearing off soon, and the pain will start kicking in, but just hit the button and the nurse will bring you something for it, okay?" I nodded my head as I caught a glimpse of my two phones on the far table.

"You mind handing me my phones doc?" I pointed to them and watched as he grabbed them for me.

"Hit the red button on the bed remote if you need anything." And with that, he walked out, gently closing the door behind him.

Incoming call... My Loveβ€οΈπŸ”

"Hey bab-"

"Don't you hey baby me! Why are you at the hospital, and why haven't you answered the phone since last night!?" She cut me off.

"It's a lot to explain baby, I'll update you on everything when they release me." I listened to the other end of the line, afraid by what her reaction might be.

She took a long deep breath and exhaled before speaking, "Okay Korie," the line went dead, "should I come up there and get you?"

"Nah, imma have one of the guys come and get me, I don't know when I'll be released, but I'm coming straight to you when I do. How the baby doing, where's Lyric, everything alright?"

"Yeah, the baby is fine, and Lyric is still asleep with Dijah. I've just been worried sick. I haven't even been to sleep, you just don't know what was goin' on in my head. I tried calling everybody, but it was no help."

"Well you know I'm good now love, go ahead and get you some sleep, I'll be home before you know it."

"Okay baby, I love you."

"I love you too, oh and one other thing!" I stopped her before she hung up the phone.

"Yeah."

"Happy New Year my love, and I hope to spend the rest of them with you, for eternity."

"Awww, baby." I heard sniffling on her end of the line. "That was so sweet, I totally forgot it was the new year, happy new year to you too baby, I love you forever."

"Ight get some rest, I'll talk to you later."

We said our goodbyes and ended our phone call.

I felt bad for putting Mo through this, especially since she's pregnant, this is adding a lot of unnecessary stress to her life. I need to start thinking about my family first, before I make decisions.

"Knock, knock nigga." Antoine walked in with a huge grin across his face.

"Wassup bruh!" We dapped each other up, careful not to put too much pressure on anything. "I'm ready to go, you know hospitals ain't my thing."

"I can't tell." We shared a laugh and the room grew quiet.

"So, you prolly know the question I'm thinkin'." I broke the silence and shifted myself in the uncomfortable hospital bed.

"Nah, I ain't no mind reader." He flipped through the channels on the tv.

"What happened to Carmen, Michelle, and Tasha? All I remember is getting shot in the hip, hearing multiple gun shots, and then everything went black."

"Oh them, they gone." He shrugged.

"What you mean they gone nigga, elaborate."

"I don't think talkin' about this here and now is the best idea." He tilted his head and gave me a look, basically saying shut up.

The room fell silent again, and all that could be heard was the faint sound of the tv, and these annoying ass machines beeping every few seconds.

"So, where yo moms?"

"She went to get some food, she should be back soon, I guess." He brushed the question off.

"You don't seem too excited for someone who thought they lost their mom and she here with you nigga."

He turned in his seat and looked at me, "Man, how could I be? This is more weird than anything. Part of me wants to just hug her and never let go, but the other part of me is full of resentment and confusion." He played with the zipper on his jacket.

"How you gonna tell Trinity?"

"Man look, all I can do, is be there for support on Trin's behalf, but it's up to my mama to come to her and explain everything. Shit, I'm still lookin' for answers my damn self.

I nodded my head in understanding, and unlocked my phone. It was blowing up with notifications from Instagram, so I decided to just scroll down my feed.

I locked my phone and rested my head against the pillows, I was exhausted and very uncomfortable.

"So when do y'all figure out what Mo havin'?"

"Two weeks, our next appointment actually. I'm so nervous bruh, I want a boy so bad, but I think I'm stuck with girls."

"Oh well, at least yo' sister having two boys, you can raise them up like lil' kings." He reassured.

"Yeah but they got a pops, I ain't tryna step on Trey toes, that's all them."

"Another girl won't be too bad."

"Not at all, I kinda just want one boy, like any dad ya' know, but I'm glad with whatever."

"What Mo want it to be?"

"She don't care, but I think she lowkey want it to be a girl, cause lately she been sayin' she when referring to the baby."

"Let us plan the reveal." He leaned up in his seat.

"Who is us?" I jolted my head.

"Me and the guys."

"Hell no!" I shouted.

"Come on, let me prove to you that I can get something right. Y'all don't think I'm
