“ Easy Heath don’t strain let it out, and your not going to kick his ass brother….Bro I am going to when we make sure he is alright” Adam says as I turn to look at them both
“ Sorry.” I say as they both look at me intently
“ Is…is he alright guys?” I hear Jasmine ask crying not realizing that she had gotten to us
“ Yeah he will be lets give him some room.” Adam says as he and Jack stay to make sure
I slowly sit up with their help. I hear talking behind me as I get to my feet.
“ Hey bro take it easy man you just drowned you need to relax.” Adam says as I look in his eyes with a nod
I turn around to see Chris, Selena, Tiffany crying. Tiffany is bracing herself with Selena, Jasmine who looks pissed with tears as she holds the little girl and boy I saw last week while Lil Greg is holding her leg with tears. I look back at Chris and with what strength I have left I rush him giving him a thunderous spear sending both of us to the ground . Once he is on his back upon the sand I straddle him hitting him with what energy I have left.
“ WHY?! WHY DID YOU BETRAY ME?! I LOVED YOU AS A BROTHER YOU FUCKING BASTARD! YOU FUCKING BAS….” Is all I get out before all light goes out
=====================================================================
Chris POV: Minutes Earlier
We are heading to Heath’s house. After being ejected from the office Heath works at I called My parents for support…the only support that I was given was from my mother and that was either make it right, or face castration upon my return to California. As we drive to his house I pray that he has cooled down a little so Karen and Little Heath can see the man I call my brother just as we have always described him.
I know once he sees Karen’s beautiful blue eyes he will realize who her daddy is and I hope will not turn her away for the sins of her mother and myself. Karen and Little Heath talk about meeting the twins and playing with them and growing up together and I PRAY THAT MY UNCLE IS WATCHING OVER MY BROTHER AND WILL HELP REASON WITH HIM. We pull into the driveway and see a beautiful house. We get out and walk around the house looking for signs where our brother my be. The kids run to the otherside thinking we are playing tag. I look and see Heath…but he is walking towards the ocean.
Heath what are you doing? I yell to no avail
Selena looks out and sees him.
“ Heath please come talk to us.” She yells as he doesn’t respond
Tiffany, Selena and myself walk quickly towards him and he goes into the ocean like a man possessed. We scream louder but he just looks back…his eyes are empty. We see two lifeguards start running towards us as Heath takes a final plunge and disappears beneath the water. I scream thinking I COULDN’T HAVE WATCHED MY BROTHER DIE. The two lifeguards dive in and pull him out. They start CPR, but he doesn’t respond. They work on him as if he was their brother who had died and they weren’t going to give up.
They continue to work on him as I hear a woman scream. I look back and her comes the girl my mother told me was called Jasmine and she has Little Heath and Karen in her arms and Greg is riding a pitbull like a pony. She gets to us and stands looking at the man she loves just lay there unmoving. About that time I hear a cough and turn back to see Heath coughing up water and I send a prayer upstairs thinking his guardian angel. After a couple minutes Heath looks at me and before I can react he tackles me and starts throwing haymaker and all I can do is curl into a ball and hope he stops. He goes to throw one more and he stops in mid swing and collapse on top of me……..
===============================================================
Jasmine’s POV:
Heath yells that he is going outside as I finish cleaning two of my boys. I love them but good help me they are in so much trouble. I get them out and dry them off before we head back to the kitchen to finish dinner. I hear Lil Greg ask me what’s on the floor and see a letter…I look at it and read it. I think to myself,’Oh shit let Heath be ok.’ Batman starts barking ballistically and I hear a light knock on the door. I run to it carrying my son. I open it to see two little kids.
The little boy looks to be about four and the little girl maybe a year older but her eyes catch my attention…..they are like my sons and how Heath’s looked in highschool. It’s the little girl that gets my attention when she speaks,’Excuse me ma’am, is my daddy home? My uncle Chris said this was his house.’ I start to cry knowing that Heath has another child. Batman grabs my skirt and starts trying to pull me outside. I tell him to stop but he continues on. I look at him and know something is wrong and that it’s Heath.
I pick up the two new little ones and tell Batman to get Lil Greg and take me to Heath. Batman squats as Lil Greg saddles up and Batman takes off with Lil Greg riding him like a horse. I run to catch up, making my way to the beach. I see Heath on the sand as Jack and Adam work to save him…OH MY GOD NO HEATH WHAT HAPPENED BABY.
About this time he starts to cough up the water and the boys help him. After a couple minutes Heath starts to stand…and he tackles Chris and proceeds to wail on him. Then Heath stops and collapses on Chris with no warning. Jack is making his way over as Adam pulls out his cell phone for I guess to call 911. I go over to hand the two kids on my hips to Selena and Tiffany. Lil Greg goes to Adam who picks up my crying son. Jack has Heath off Chris to check on him.
“ What’s wrong with him? Why did he collapse like that?” Tiffany asks as I look at her with anger
“ It’s his heart he can’t have any kind of excitement or stress.” Jack says as I go to my love
“ Is he?” I ask as Jack shakes his head
“ No he is breathing sis. He just passed out in mid hit.” Jack tells me as I sigh in relief
It’s not long that the paramedics show up to get Heath ready to take him to the hospital. Adam hands me my son who has sadness in his eyes.
“ Is daddy going to be ok?” He asks in a sad tone
“ Yes honey your daddy will be just fine.” I answer as he nods
“ I wish my bubby was here.” He tells me as I nod as Adam hands me his phone
“ Call Diamond and Hannah they will want to be at the hospital.” He tells me as I dial her number
I call Diamond seeing the little girl and boy look at Heath intently with tears. Tiffany is looking at me as is Selena. Diamond picks up on the 4th ring saying hello until she hears Lil Greg’s tears before asking what is wrong. I tell her what happen to Heath as the paramedics start taking him to the ambulance. She tells me they are on their way telling me she loved me as I tell her the same before we hang up. I hand Adam his phone back before making my way to the house, but not before looking at the three that hurt my man.
“ If you excuse me I have to get my son to go see HIS daddy.” I say as Adam follows me up to our home
After getting Lil Greg dressed and his baby bag. Jack, Adam, Lil Greg, and I followed the ambulance. We were followed by Chris and the sluts to the hospital. Once to the hospital I watched as they rushed Heath in. We made our way inside to the ER to wait for any word. The jerks that caused my baby to faint stay and try to talk to us, but I inform them to shut up or I will make them.
They sense my hositility and decide to backdown for now. After about two hours Heath’s doctor Catherine Halloway came out to tell me she has him in a private room. She said he is stable, but needed rest before having visitors. I nodded as she also told me that he didn’t need any kind of drama what so ever while here. I agreed with her as did my brothers.
As she left Adam made a few calls one to momma Faye and to Kaye. I let him fill them in while I tried to calm my son down. It was around 9 that night when Diamond, Hannah, and Dakota arrived. She came straight to us by passing Chris and the girls who were talking amongst themselves. The kid’s names were Karen and Lil Heath. I learned their names from listening to the sluts talking with them,were sitting in silence except for the tears that fell down their cheeks.
“ Where is our baby honey?” Diamond asks me as I look in her eyes
“ They have him stable in a private room. His doctor made it clear that he can’t have any drama.” I tell her as Hannah and Diamond nod agreeing
Diamond turns to Adam taking Dakota to him.
“ Little bro can you watch your nephew while I see Heath?” She asks as he looks up with a nod
“ Sure sis come here kiddo.” Adam says as Dakota goes to him
“ Uncle Abs is daddy ok?” My other son asks as Adam nods
“ How do you know Heath?” Tiffany asks as Diamond, Hannah, and I turn to look at her
I watch as my beautiful girlfriend goes over to Tiffany who stood up at that moment. Both were eye to eye almost.
“ I met him and Jasmine as will as the others one spring break. I put the tattoo Jasmine has on her. Why is it any of your business anyway?” Diamond asks as Tiffany gives her a lok of disgust
“ Just wondered if it was in a strip club with that name.” Tiffany says as I watch my lover show anger
I watch as Diamond raises her hand pulling it back before I stop her from slapping the bitch. Diamond turns to look at me as I shake my head. I pull her and Hannah to the side to tell them who they are and the kids with them especially who Tiffany and Karen are, and how I had my suspesions on who Karen’s dad was. They looked at me as I told them to look at her eyes. They both look over at the sad little girl who is crying with her head lowered. They turn back to look at me before sighing and nodding. We go back over to sit in chairs as I watch Lil Greg and Dakota talk as they do. It’s not long before Lil Greg and Dakota make their way over to Karen and Lil Heath. I poke Diamond in the ribs softly to get her to watch.
“ You ok?” Lil Greg asks as Karen shakes her head
“ No my daddy is hurt.” Karen says as Dakota and Lil Greg look at her intently
“ He our daddy too.” Dakota says as Karen looks at them both
“ I know, do you want to be my brothers?” She asks as they look over at Diamond and I
