"Two weeks Macey... you got this." I had to boost myself. I'm big as shit and all I do is eat, piss, sleep, and waddle around this room. I haven't seen daylight in weeks.

"Kaelee baby your killing me..." I mumbled. She loves to kick the shit out of me, and when she moves she does not give any fucks on wether or not my skin can stretch that damn far.

I have two weeks until my due date. I've made my decision but I wish I didn't have to make it.

I turned my tv on and watched spongebob. I started feeling pain in my lower back. I felt this last week but I don't think it means anything.

I sighed. I want her out but at the same time I want to keep her so I have more time with her. I still don't understand why they'll take her only a week after I give birth. I find that humanely stupid. A baby, a newborn at this, needs its mother for at least two to three months in my opinion. You never know I might have to breastfeed or something.

I want to get out of this room... out of this city and this state.

I'm still working on a plan to get Maverick back. Nubia most likely told him I abandoned him. I'm sure she did by now. Maverick would be broken.

We have never been separated in our life. I've took care of him since he was born. When our dad died he was really clinging to me more than he did before. He was young. Our mother showed no love so he found it through me. I taught him everything he knows. I know he'll take what Nubia is telling him very hard.

"Ouch..." I felt that sharp pain again. It wasn't strong but I felt it. This time it was coming up the side of my stomach.

I stood up but immediately sat back down. It happened again but this time it was stronger.

"No no no Kaelee not today..." I panicked. I can't be going into labor today. I'm not ready.

Maybe if I just relax and lay down it'll stop.

I lied...

"Fuck..." I winced.

I carefully got up and helped myself reach the door by grabbing onto nearby things. It was becoming hard to walk.

I opened it and I heard feet rushing. It was Tee. He told me his na-

I don't give a fuck your about to be in labor!

I almost fell but he caught me. "Shit..." He said. He got out his phone and called someone.

Let it be 9-1-1

This was becoming more unbearable. The pain is awful but I'm not even at the peak of giving birth.

"Owww..." I whined. Tears almost pricked my eyes. This is deadass painful.

"Momma!" He yelled through the phone.

"Nigga call 9-1-1 fuck your momma!" I yelled clinging onto his shirt.

"I'm on my way! Lay her back down and stay there with her!" I heard Renee yell.

He did as told and I laid back down.

Another sharp pain came from no where, "Shit!" I grabbed my stomach.

"Look my mom is coming to take you to-"

"Nigga Shut Up!" I yelled at him. I don't want to hear his voice right now it's making me mad. Being pissed off while in extreme pain will drive me nuts and have me taking somebody life while giving one.

The door flew open and there stood the stepmother and the ugly ass step sisters.

She rushed over to me touching my stomach by I pushed her hand back, "Don't touch me.." I growled.

She grabbed my arm instead and helped me up. She wrapped her arm around me as Tee walked behind me and so did the other girls. They were all over Snapchat...

"She's coming!"

"I'm about to be an auntie y'all!"

And all that other shit.

Bitches man

They helped me to the car and we got in. Renee helped me with breathing. She held my hand and let me squeeze it when the pain surged.

I was crying. I was really crying. I've never been in this much pain.

Tee sped to the hospital and when we got there all types of people rushed over to the car.

I don't understand the fame of his family. He leads a drug cartel and sex ring and they own million dollar companies.

They never said what kind of companies

"This is our private little hospital for family and close friends. No one knows you're here." Renee said. One of the Sister's ran inside and on the way back out nurses and a doctor with a gurney ran out. Renee got out and they helped me out the car.

They put me on the gurney and rolled me inside yelling all types of shit.

We got into a room and it was really nice in here.

They laid me down and started stripping me of my clothes. I felt so weird.

They stuck me and got an IV started. I've only been to the hospital God knows how many times.

"Shit I pissed myself!" The nurse laughed at me.

"Fuck is so funny?! Get me to a restr-"

"Sweetie calm down-" she chuckled, "Your water broke. You didn't pee yourself.." She assured me.

I still don't like that feeling.

"Are you ready to be a mom?" She asked. My face dropped. Reality hit. I'm really about to have a baby.

"I-I don't know.." I got out.

"Don't worry the best feeling is knowing that you have someone to love you forever, especially since you created them." The nurse smiled.

"...I wouldn't know." I mumbled, but Renee heard me since she was standing right next to me. She gave me a sincere look but I know deep down she doesn't care.

"Let's get ready..." the doctor said.

2 hours later

I heard her cry for the very first time.

A sigh of relief released from my mouth as she cried. Hearing her cry made me cry.

I don't know if it's because of joy or because I immediately felt like she was crying for me and I don't want her to ever cry for me.

The nurses cleaned her, weighed her, and wrapped her. They cleaned me up and I laid there awaiting to see who I've been carrying for eight months. She was quiet which made me grow worry.

"She's beautiful.." The nurse said bringing her to me. I was hesitant but I grabbed her and held her. I've never seen so much beauty in my life. She was perfect.

"She is..." I whispered smiling. I softly ran my finger against her smooth skin. Her color is starting to settle in. She has yet to open her eyes. Sleep is what I wanted but I'd rather spend all my time with her.

My daughter

My baby girl is finally here... but I have a week with her. A whole fucking week.

Before I gave birth everyone had to leave the room. I didn't want his family in here while I gave birth.

"Would you like to bring your fam-"

"They're not my family..." I mumbled. "But yes.." I said.

She left the room and came back with all four of them and some more people. Only four was allowed. It's their hospital so I don't see why they made those rules.

I'm not complaining though...

"Oh my goodness!" One of the Sister's cooed. I rolled my eyes. They irritate my soul.

"She is beautiful!" The other sister said. They snapped pictures but their mother stopped them.

"Please my daughters... We will dress her properly." She snapped her fingers and a woman came in with a bag of clothes.

Oh my god.

"Then we shall have photos taken and we will release them. When it is time for her to come home we will throw a welcome home party."

Another woman came in behind her. What happened to the four people rule?

She stood behind Renee with a phone and a clipboard. I'm guessing this is her assistant.

"Call up the press tell them to meet us outside. Also call my party planner and tell her to set up our home on 24th and park for a welcome home shower for the baby. Her name is Empriss."

My head snapped, "What?! No it's not! You said I could name her!"

The baby was sleeping so I immediately lowered my voice. I had the nurse put her in her bed and roll her to the nursery of the hospital. Since the room was being bombarded by people.

"I dare not name my child after your sloppy, violent, and murderous, convict ex! She is growing up to take on business not a damn court case!"

"Fuck you! Her name is Kaelee!"

"We can strip you of your rights and have you put in jail just for what you've done..." She threatened.

"My son told me everything and I keep files and things you can't even think of." She said. What a bitch. She's going back on her word.

"You said I could name her whatever I wanted as long as she had Ricky's last name." I between gritted teeth, "Hell, you should be lucky I didn't fucking abort her when I had the chance because her sick fuck of a father wanted to-"

"Shut up!" She screamed.

"You have no choice now. This baby will be staying with us and will be under the care of our trusted nanny."

"No! You can't do that!" My eyes watered.

"I can and I will," She said.

"I still have to sign her damn birth certificate!" I said. I requested it and they have it to me along with a pen.

"If you dare put that inmates name on there we will have you in jail and you will never see Maverick again!" She threatened.

A tear fell. This took a turn for the worse and now being thrown in jail is at stake. Curse this woman and her family. This is all because of Nubia. She's living it up while I'm having to throw away my rights to raise my child. I probably won't ever see her again.

I looked at the paper. The NAME line stares at me nakedly.

Just do it.

"Her middle name can be whatever but her name is Empriss." She mumbled.

As if that helped..

I stared at the line. I took a deep breath and threw away my pride.

Empriss La'Reign Davis

Mother- Macey Bowen

Father - Ricky Davis (deceased)

I looked away mad as ever but I couldn't do anything about it.

"You will spend 2 days here with her. Afterwards she is coming home and you will be escorted to a vacation house of your choice."

I shook my head, "I have to at least spend one to two weeks with her. She needs me! Her mother!" I spat.

"She is fine. She doesn't need your breast milk. There is a certain and healthy formula she is able to drink."

"That's not right.."

"It is.." She said.

"Like I said, say your goodbyes in these last two days. We will send you pictures and every weekend we have agreed to let her stay with you on the weekends. Friday morning to Sunday evening."

At least I still get to see her. But it's not like raising her. I want her there every night. She'll wake up in the middle of the night crying and I'm going the first person she wants. One day she'll have a night mare and she'll wake up to come sleep on the ed with me. I'll keep her safe. It's so much I want to give her that my mother never gave me. It may not be money but it's love.. emotional support. A shoulder to cry in and someone to confide in.

"The baby opened her eyes and she is absolutely stunning," Some random ass lady said.

Why the fuck is she looking at my baby?

"Can I see her?" The nurse nodded and went to go get her.

"Can you please leave the room,"

"This is my hospital," Renee said.

"And this is my baby.." I said.

"Not for long," She grimaced.

I bit my lip to keep from lashing out on her. I can't stand that bitch and I don't have the power to fight against her. I'll end up in jail, she'll have my baby, and Nubia will have Maverick.

I'm bound to be all alone again.

I guess it's true saying you were born alone and you'll die alone.

But I still won't let that happen. I'll fight to get them both back if not one.

The nurse brought her back as soon as everyone left the room.

"I over heard and I'm sorry for what you're going through." She said softly.

I looked at her helplessly. "It's ok.." I sighed.

"I knew Ricky. I was an ex. That's why I was assigned to help you." She said. I don't know if that was suppose to make me feel better...?

I notice every nice person I meet they know Ricky. I still can't get away from him even though he's dead.

"We were suppose to have a baby but I lost it." She looked down. "Her name was going to be Empriss."

I furrowed my eyebrows. "Then why would she..."

"I know Renee. She is a spiteful woman and I hated her... still do." She said. Did she name the baby after this woman's child? How dare she? That's disrespectful.

I shook my head, "Why do you stay here and work for someone you hate?"

"She loves me... and it's good money." She chuckled. "But I don't think what she's doing is right. I never knew the other side of Ricky. I'm very sorry that he-"

"It's fine.." I said. I picked up my baby and her eyes opened slowly. They were a chocolate color and I fell so in love with them.

"She is absolutely beautiful..." She smiled.

"Your complexion.. but she'll get a little darker within the month," She said.

I nodded, "I have a friend. She is a lawyer and if you ever need help you let me know. I hate what they're doing to you. " she said. "When they're gone I'll give you my number and my address."

I nodded. I'm not sure what her lawyer friend can do but from what me and Renee argue about she can't do shit. Maybe but I don't think so.

"Thank you.." I said.

"No problem... I'll leave you alone." She said before leaving the room.

I looked down at her and she yawned. I laughed a little. I adore babies. Now I have my own.

"Momma Loves you with all her heart..."
