Ashley POV

"Come on bubby..." I rock a hysterical Aiden. He is currently screaming at the top of his lungs which is scaring the hell out of me. It's currently 2am and he has been at it for about 45 minutes. Ive checked his body to see if any strings are cutting him or anything and i find nothing. I then feel his body is warmer than usually.

I go ahead and find the thermometer which was in his bathroom and took his temperature. As it beeped I felt my heart speed up in my chest. He had a fever.

"Okay Ash calm down" I say to myself as I sit him back down in his crib so I can pack him a bag. I'm not taking any chances so I'm taking him to the hospital. I pick up my phone and quickly dialing Izzys number.

"What the fuck" I call him again which he does not answer. I call him a few more times, all of which go to voice mail. At this point i am trying not to panic. I am under a lot of stress right now so I decide to go ahead and call my mom.

"Hello" I hear her say through the phone. I can tell she was sleeping by the way she answered.

"ma I'm taking Aiden to the hospital can you meet me there" I say picking him up from his crib once again and going to my room.

"I'm on my way" she says before hanging up the phone.

"Have them bring the car around" I tell smiley before going into my room and slipping on some jogger pants and some slides. I dont care what i have on right now honestly i just want to make sure my baby is okay.

As I am walking out of the house I call Israel again and it goes straight to voicemail. He usually answers the the phone even when he is sleeping just to make sure we are okay so im getting a little annoyed.

I put my phone down as I buckle Aiden into his seat and climbing in before buck drives us to the children's hospital. I was very stern on going there rather than a normal one because I know they'll have us in quickly other than waiting 4 hours. Im actually glad that i dont have to drive because i want to keep an eye on my baby and im am a little too anxious to drive.

Me : Baby, Aiden has a fever.

Me: I'm taking him to the hospital

Me: Call me

I text Izzy getting no reply. I dont know why i expected him to answer text rather than calls but idk. As we get the hospital I get out heading straight to the desk. I dont wait for the lady to talk before i begin rambling

"Hi my son has a fever of 100.5 and has been screaming for about a hour now" I say looking down to a still crying Aiden. He has calmed down some but you can still hear his whining.

"Okay mom everything is going to be fine I just need you to fill these out and we will get you in as soon as possible" the lady says handing me A clip board.I take a the closet seat before sitting down and beginning his paperwork as quickly as possible. Im glad i remember his insurance card and stuff because i was honestly rushing out the house.

I hear the door open and look up to see my mom and Alek walking through. My mom still has her head scarf on her head with a sundress on.

"What's going on" my mom asks taking Aiden out of his carrier

"I'm not sure. He started crying but he's never cried they hard before so I took his temperature and here we are." I explain signing the papers. My mom manages to get him to calm down some as we wait to be called. I check my phone periodically seeing Izzy hasn't texted or called me back. It began to frustrate me so i called him again still no reply.

"Aiden James" a nurse called out causing us to get up. Alek who is still half sleep, dressed in some night pants a hoodie and slides grabs the bag and car seat as we follow the nurse to a room.

Over the next span of a hour we find out Aiden has a cold and we get him to fall back asleep.

"You did the right thing by bringing him in mom... You can administer him Tylenol to help the fever but just watch him over the next few days. If the fever doesn't break or he doesn't get better please do not hesitate to bring him back" the doctor says to me as I hold Aiden. Shortly after we are dismissed are able to leave if we'd like.

By the time we left out I still hadn't heard from Israel and I am heated. I know it's not much he can do since he is all the way across the country but goddamn I was about the have a panic attack worried about Aiden.

I ended up riding back home with my mom and Alek since they decided they would stay and help me. I was grateful since that meant I wouldn't be alone with a him struggling. I pretty much watched Aiden the entire car ride home. When we got back i put Aiden in my bed before showing my mom and Alek where they would be sleeping.

I set them up in two of our guest bedrooms so they could get some sleep since it was like 5 in the morning. But I pretty much stayed awake trying to keep an eye on Aiden as he slept. I couldn't help it but I wanted to watch him to make sure he was okay.

I watched the sun begin to come up as my eyelids got heavy. As I began to fall asleep my phone rang loudly causing me to grab it. I sucked my teeth before answering it

"Yes" I said rudely

"Hey is he okay ?" Israel asks concerned before I roll my eyes and get out of bed walking into my closet so I don't wake Aiden up.

"He has a cold Israel." I state with a attitude.

"My bad Ash i was at the club with king them for somebody birthday" he says making me more upset

"Israel your son was in here screaming his lungs out WITH A FEVER and you were out at the club when I thought you was sleep are you serious?!" I try to keep my voice down. This nigga has lost his mind. I don't care if I'm overreacting. For one, he told me that he was going to bed since he has a photoshoot in the morning and two his son is in here sick.

"Ash I said my bad. It was a last min thing I thought you was sleep and I ain't even get the messages or calls till I got back to the hotel. Calm down" is this nigga a fucking idiot.

"Calm down? Calm down? Did you just really tell me to calm down? I don't know what to be mad about first the fact you was out when you told me you was going to sleep and you was out at the club or that you was FUCKING M.I.A THE THIRTY TIMES I CALLED YOU" i yell causing Aiden to wake up crying.

"Bye Israel" I hang up the phone walking back into the room placing my phone on do not disturb so I don't see his calls. I hear a small knock on the door before it opens revealing Alek. He walks over to the bed.

"Give me him." His rude ass reached out "you haven't been to sleep yet" he grabs Aiden and his pacifier.

"I'm good" I say reaching back out for him to give me Aiden.

"He's fine ash go to bed" he walks back to the door before leaving and I cover my face with my hands. I can't believe Israel. I convinced this nigga lacks common fucking sense. I really dont even know what to be mad about first, honestly.

I lay down on my side feeling a little weird. So i toss and turn until i find a comfortable position to fall asleep.

Izzy POV

I spent my whole morning trying to call Ashley. But she dead ass not answering at all. I realize I should've told her about me leaving but I really thought she was sleep and I didn't want to wake her up. Then Santana got a cold so im really worried cause she aint telling me nothing.

"Smiley" I hear the call go through

"Sir" he says

" where is Ashley" I ask

"I believe she is sleeping. She was up all morning until her cousin came and got the baby" he answers.

"Where's my son at now"

"In the guest bedroom" he says

"Ight" I say before hanging up. As long as they are okay. Im gone go ahead and go to sleep since I got a photo shoot in a few hours but I still don't like the fact she ignoring me. Ill call Alek in the morning if she keeps ignoring me .

Ashley POV

I wake up to the smell of food cooking. I know that's common for me but it's no better way to wake up. I check my phone seeing that it is already after 12. Damn I was tired.

I get up and walk to the guest room before opening it. I walk in to see the humidifier on as well as Alek asleep with Aiden on his chest. My poor baby sick.

I turn back around and walk out the room before walking down the stairs. The smell of food cooking gets stronger as I get closer. When I walk into the kitchen I notice a large tulip flower arrangement on the counter.

"They have a note" my mom says noticing me analyze the pretty arrangement. I pick up the note before reading it

I'm sorry about last night ash. Call me so we can talk. -Israel

"Fuck yo sorry" I toss the note before rolling my eyes.

"What'd it say" my mom asked

"Just that Israel was sorry for last night blah blah blah" I say sitting down.

"Well have you talked to him?" She asks

"Nope because if i do im going to cuss him out" i state bluntly picking up a banana. My mom just stays quiet as she flipped the food. I can tell she wants to say something but is closing now to.

The door bell rings unexpectedly making me rise from my seat. I can see through the glass doors that it is another large arrangement. Why does this nigga keep sending flowers like its going to do something.

I open the door taking the arrangement from one of the guards whose name is unknown before sitting it on the table near the door.

"basic ass flowers" i state taking the note from the regular ass red roses.

"For a beautiful woman, see you soon" is what the note reads confusing me. This nigga doesn't come back for another 2 weeks so unless he bringing his ass home today he can shut the hell up.

"really izzy? you couldnt do better...wack ass" i say walking away from the flowers. This nigga really irking my spirit.

"who was at the door" my mom asks as she sits a plate full of food infront of me.

"more flowers..." i say before picking up my phone seeing a message from an unknown number.

Maybe: Jas : hey Ashley. It's Jas I just wanted to apologize for everything and was wondering if we could talk?

How the hell she got my number. I let out a breath locking my phone before digging into my food. Everybody just wants to fuck up my mood today. I still feel off about what happened at Ms.Sharon house the other week and don't really know how to go about it. Like was Jas being sincere or was that another sceme.

"you know you have to talk to him..." my mom says breaking me from my thoughts. "he is going to want to know how his son is doing ash"

"i know ma" i say not taking my eyes off of my food. She had made some cheese burgers and her delicious cheese fries. I really didn't want to talk about him right now since I'm already a little heated.

I finished my food just in time as Aiden began crying. So i placed my dish in the sink and hurried upstairs to find Alek trying to rock him. I shook my head watching his big ass try and calm Aiden down which was barely working.

"do you want money? maybe a car?" he says thinking that will work. I swear Alek is a damn fool.

"he might be hungry" i say taking Aiden from him feeling his wet diaper. "and a new diaper" i say taking him back to his room. I removed his onesie before wiping him down and changing his diaper. I also went ahead and got the snot from his little nose before giving him some natural medicine i had here as well as some baby vicks on his chest. After he was all clean and medicated i took a seat on the rocking chair that was in his room and began to feed him.

"Im sorry bubby" i say to him while he looks up at me. " i wish i could make you feel better...and your daddy annoying mommy" i get a little smile from him. I hate seeing my baby sick. Im so used to seeing him being so active its killing me to see him so weak.

By the time he finished he was back asleep and i laid him in his crib turning on the baby monitor so i could hear him when he wakes up. As soon as i walk in the hallway i feel a little dizzy.

"the hell" i say to myself as i lean over. I decide to take my ass back into the bed because ion think i feel too well. The whole time i walked to the room i felt more and more dizzy like i was going to pass the hell out

And let me tell you...

Between Aiden waking up every hour or so and me not feeling good, it was a disaster. Alek ended up having to go handle some business but my mom stayed and helped. I didn't tell her i was feeling bad because i thought I'd begin to feel better.

I ended up calling Bri letting her know i was feeling bad and she came quick as hell. I heard a knock at the room door before she came in with a large bag.

"hey mama" she says closing the door back and walking into the room.

"hey bri" i say to her sitting up on the bed. She then sits the large bag on the bed and begins to pull things out.

"okay so i got some gingerale and crackers just incase, some nausea medicine that should help you, a heating pad because your period might be coming on" she pauses. "and when was your last period?" i think in my head when my last period was.

"about two months ago" i say to her as her eyes go wide. I watch as she goes through the bag again pulling out a box and handing it to me. "No" i say trying to hand it to her

"yes Ash. The way you feeling and the fact that you haven't had your period are all signs" she says to me.

"aint no way im pregnant Bri" i say pushing my hair back.

"well it doesn't hurt to make sure" she says

"im not taking it today Bri. Im already very anxious and i just dont know" i feel myself begin to hyperventilate.

"Ash..." she moves on the bed pulling me into a hug. "its okay girl. Im not going to force you, if you want to then you can and if you dont then dont worry about it" She says trying to calm me down. I know Israel and i haven't been being smart but i really dont know if im ready for another baby. Aiden is still so young and we have so much going on.

We stay in that position for a minute until my stomach growls which makes us both laugh.

"ash you know if you are you have a great support system so please dont stress yourself out. I know you had a plan but sometimes things dont always happen on schedule" Bri says as i nod my head

"thank you Bri" i say hugging her again. "alright lets go eat" i laugh getting out of bed before we head to go eat. I stop by Aidens room seeing him still sleeping before i head downstairs.

"Ash I brought some fried ravioli..." I hear Alek come to a halt in his words as he comes in the kitchen. I turn around seeing him looking at Bri and her trying to look away.

"Uhh.. I gotta go make a call" he says before sitting the bag of food down and leaving out.

"Bri..." I say crossing my arms and leaning against the counter. "What was that?" I say smirking

"I don't know what you are referring to" she says picking at her long nails

"I wasn't born yesterday Briana. Y'all back fucking around" I say as she looks up slightly blushing causing me to squeal. "Ahhh" I say causing her to shush me

"Be quiet ash" she says

"I been knew it. I was just waiting to hear it from the horses mouth" I state opening the bag of food and god it smelt good. "So are y'all back together or..."

"No we are not. We are just going with the flow right now" she says

"Right..." I say sarcastically

"Don't say anything ash. We don't want to jinx anything" Bri says taking a ravioli from the plate.

"Got it. I won't say anything" I hold my hand up.

"What y'all in here talking about" my mom walks into the kitchen going towards the fridge

"Alek and Bri" I say back smirking

"ASHLEY" Bri whines

"Oh baby I already knew. Alek can't hold water around me" my mom says laughing before taking a water bottle and walking out the kitchen.

"I can't stand you" Bri says smacking her teeth

"Good thing you sitting down" I run out of her sight as she begins to chase me. I run into the bathroom trying to close the door but she was fighting to keep the door open.

"Okay I'm sorry stop" I laugh uncontrollably

"Then open the door" she replys still trying to get in

"Okay on three. One...two... three" we both let go and I open the door before pulling her into a hug so she couldn't do anything.

I'm not going to lie. By the end of the night I felt better than I had did before and Aiden was breaking his fever.

I decided to stop being petty and pick up my phone and call Israel. I chose to FaceTime him so he could see Aiden. After the second ring he picked up

The phone

"Hey..." I say lowly

"Why are you ignoring me Ash" he says calmly

"You know why I was..." I look at him sideways

"My bad ash I should've told you what I was doing and been able to answer when you took lil man go the hospital." He says running his hand over his face

"Yeah... I was stressed out" I tell him pushing my hair behind my ear.

"I figure you was... but aye let me see him" he says before I put Aiden in the camera

"Hey Santana" he starts talking to him "I'm sorry you sick. I know ma gone take care of you till I get back. I love you" he says making me smile.

"Ash" he calls out

"Yeah" I pull the camera back enough so that he can see us both.

"I miss y'all" he states

"We miss you too.. two more weeks right?" I ask making sure

"Yeah ma" he says licking his lips

"Alright well ima get him situated baby" I tell him

"Ight" he says before I hang the phone up and spend some time with Aiden. I wanted to tell him that I may be pregnant but I didn't want to get his hopes up. I know that Israel loves kids and wants more

Soon so I wouldn't want to hurt his feelings if I weren't.

That night I pretty much didn't get any sleep again due to my mind racing.

"Could I be pregnant?" I thought to myself. Like all the signs are pointing to it but I just don't know. Like am I ready for another child yet? Izzy and I really just became official like I'm not trying to think negative things but what if we aren't together that long?

I ended up thinking so much I don't even remember falling asleep.

Authors note
