Newborn cries filled the room, Milani's eyelids flickering open to the bright room. The sweet image of daylight. She close them again, yawning as she sat up. "Shhh Alana y'all wake your mommy up, I know you won't understand me yet but I really like your mom. Maybe the first person I've very felt this way about in years." The corners of Milani's lips rose upwards resulting in an ear to ear grin. "I'm already awake, no need to tell her to shush. Good morning chris and goodmorning to you too my beautiful baby."
He turned slowly Milani could tell he was embarrassed that she heard all that. "Oh yeah um goodmorning Lani, how'd you sleep?" he plastered a smile on his face. "It was fine, probably the best sleep I've had in a while. Alana wasn't giving you any trouble right." Amusement glowed in his eyes, as Milani hovered over him holding onto Alana's tiny fingers. "No she was a perfect angel just like her mom." Nibbling on her bottom lip Milani reached over the crib to pick up Romeo.
Tiny fingers curled around her pinky. Milani watch the newborn pierce through her eyes at what he must of thought was a strange person after living life in the womb for nine months. Then he began to fuss and cry, everyone told Milani how annoying that was going to be, but it was so precious to her that it almost made her cry. This was a person that she'd created, and she was already filled up with love for them.
Milani didn't even realize the doctor came into the room until he spoke. "Good morning Milani, whenever you're ready you can start breastfeeding them."
Around Fifteen minutes later they got their own family-bonding moment. Jasmines returned with her mom, sister, dad and some of their family friends. They all got their chance to hug Alana and Romeo and observe them as they slept. They were so happy, especially Marie. She was so excited when she first entered to room. She stared at Chris and Milani with those big hazel eyes that Chris also had. He was the splitting image of his mom. Alana instantly attached herself to Marie, causing her to cry with joy.
The doctor and their family left, except for Jasmine and Chris. Three hours had gone by and it was time for a trip to the bathroom. Another nurse came to help Milani breastfeed. By the time evening came, Milani was still feeling pretty tired, but was happy. Milani settled down to sleep again, Chris and jasmine sat on the couch, and Romeo and Alana laid in their bassinets. The doctor stopped by to see how Milani felt, checked her body, and everything needed to know after birth. To be honest it was exhausting to her, She just wanted to sleep.
After a while of sleeping she decided on tooking another shower, and felt grateful that the pain in between her legs was slowing down and that her muscles felt more relaxed under the warm water. She put on a clean nightgown and got ready to spend the rest of the night sleeping while she still had the chance.
Milani was walking in the woods. Why was she in the woods? Milani didn't remember discharging from the hospital. Two men in black robes soon rose into her view. The taller of the two guys stroked her arm as he pushed Milani against the tree. She could feel her body pressing against the tree between the both of them. She can't see any features, he bent down next to her ear whispering words she didn't want to hear. I'll find you and I'll take my kids away from you, one way or another. You'll be mines again Mrs. Michael. A grim laugh echoed through her mind as she struggled from the dream mans grip. Her body was sweaty and trembling. The lights beamed from the sun showing his wretched face.
Don't get riled up Lani, It's just the dream. She reassured herself as she looked directly into his eyes. But soon the cold began seeping through her nightgown, making her chest freeze up until she finally shivered. Minutes passed with only the sound of the man huffing and puffing. Breathing on her neck and her desperate attempts to wake up before the next stage of the dream. It felt real enough that Milani's conscious became to whimper.
Milani scrunched her eyes at the bright light seeping through her closed eyelids. Slowly she started to blink away the dream. She have no idea why she had dreamt a dream like that, but she hoped it wouldn't come true, god knows what she'd do without her beloved little babies. But onto important news, today was the day Milani would finally allowed to get discharged with her beautiful children, she can't be anymore happier.
The sudden hollow sound of knuckles taping on the door broke her out of her thoughts. The metal rattling of a knock on the door ranged from soft to mild. "Hm? Who is it?" Milani said opening her eyes but instantly closing them again as the light was too overwhelming. A second later Chris walked into the room. "Hey Lani! How are you? His eyes sparkled. "Im all right, I can't wait to bring these little suckers home. What about you?" Milani sat up on the bed studying her boyfriend. The corners of his mouth slid upwards. "Oh nothing just excited to see the most beautiful woman I've ever laid eyes on. You're smile really is contagious, everywhere you go it lights up the whole room and it makes everything seem so alive." Milani blushed at the compliment as she watched Chris leave the room, leaving a bouquet of roses on the table next to her. Milani sat there, deeply flustered and red. "I think I love you." Let's be honest who wouldn't. "I've never been so flustered in my life!" Milani growl.
After taking a quick shower Milani picked up Romeo from his sweet slumber while Jasmine took Alana as they headed towards the discharging Area. As they watched into the room Milani felt a sudden rush of anxiety. What if she wouldn't be a good mom for these beautiful babies? What if she couldn't provide for them?
That's when she saw something in the distance, or rather someone. It was a figure she know all to well. The talk figure was Mason Michael, or should she say Caesars brother. Mason was always a handsome man with a built form and a muscular jaw. She wonder what he was doing there. Gulping Milani tried her hardest to hid her face. She wasn't prepared to face him. Please don't let him see me, Milani keep repeating in her mind. Too late, she signed as their eyes linked.
As Milani stepped outside the waiting room Mason came closer, she could see the large sickening smirk on his face. "Nice seeing you here Milani we all thought you ran to a different state or something. It's very ironic that we bumped into each other. Now I can get answers as to why you cheated on Caesar," Mason bellowed, in a rough tone. He slammed his fist against her chest, with the force of 5796 bunnies. "I frigging hate you, Milani Kekoa. You're the definition of a whore. You ruined my brothers heart, you ruined me and my brothers relationship. I mean seriously who cheats on their husband with an unknown". He looked with pure hatred at Chris' form in the background.
"You were only with him because of the money. We should have known I mean look at you. Who's kids are those? Did you really get knocked up by that bastard and have bastard children? I thought you'd be smarter than that and get an abortion. Pathetic if you ask me." Milani looked back, even more disgust and fed up with his sudden outburst.
"Mason, you know what I'm tired of the disrespect you're handing me right now. It's a thing to disrespect me but you will never and I mean never disrespect my kids, or so help me god I'll murder you myself. So instead of grilling me for something I didn't do go grill your cheating fiancée." Milani replied viciously. They looked at each other with problematic feelings, like two powerful, muscular pit bulls fighting over the very last bone. Milani studied Masons large fist and muscular jaw. Eventually, she took a deep breath. "I'm tired, now please leave me and my kids the fuck alone. You're lucky they're sleeping and sensitive or else I would have went hammer on you. I actually feel sorry for you tsk." Milani explained, in a pitying tone. She inched looking up seeing Masons clenched jaw, his body clenched like a hard bag full of cement.
Milani could practically hear Masons body shatter into 3400 pieces. Then the frustrated coward hurried away into the distance. Oh shit what did I just do. Milani panicked looking as his retreating figure. "Lani, I don't think he knew his fiancé was cheating." Lani looked at Jasmine with horror, Oh double shit.
