priority. You simply cannot leave your bed.”
    I cut up like a true project chick up in there.
    “This baby is your fuckin’ priority!” I screeched. I was spitting mad. Sweating bullets and slinging hot tears all over the room. “My priority is Gino ! Y’all can’t keep me away from him! You don’t have the right to keep me away from him! Gino needs me. I need him. I don’t care what I have to do. I’m seeing him!”
    The cop who was posted outside my door stuck his head inside, and ignoring the doctors, asked me if everything was okay.
    “Oh, it’s about to be okay!” I snapped, wiping my nose with the end of the sheet. I struggled to sit up in the bed and winced in pain as I tried to slide my legs around. “’Cause I’m getting the fuck outta here!”
    “You can’t be serious,” the male doctor said.
    “Oh, she’s serious,” Renata answered.
    I grilled both those damned doctors down.
    “Bring me my papers! Bring me my mothafuckin ’ papers! I’m signing myself out! ”
    That got their attention.
    By the time I scooted my naked butt to the edge of the bed and my feet were dangling down about to touch the floor, everybody in the room understood that I was not bullshitting! The nurse rushed over to my side, and both doctors started backpedaling, eating all the words they had just spoken.
    “Okay, okay,” the surgeon said. She put her arm around my shoulder and lifted my legs back onto the bed. “Don’t do this,” she said softly. “Please don’t hurt yourself like this. We’ll take you to see Gino. Let me get the staff to bring us a wheelchair and I’ll have an attendant get you seated in it safely.”
    But the ugly man-doctor still wasn’t having it. “I don’t advise that,” he said sharply. “The fetus—”
    The female doctor shut him down with just one look. “It doesn’t matter what you advise. Her fiancé and the father of her child is upstairs fighting for his life. He’s fighting for their lives. Do you have any idea what this must be like for Juicy? To have to lie in bed helplessly while Gino fights his battle alone? We’re taking her upstairs. In my personal and professional opinion, by his side is exactly where she needs to be.”
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     

 
     
    CHAPTER 6
     
    My whole body hurt as they placed me in the wheelchair, but I took the pain without even flinching.
    While Renata had been downstairs with me, Frank had been visiting Gino, so she jetted upstairs to tell him to leave so that I could go in. She told me there was a cop posted up to guard Gino too, but since Gino was up there with the critically ill patients he could only have one visitor every other hour.
    “Are you cold?” the hospital attendant asked me kindly. He was a heavy-set, freckle-faced white guy, and I was thankful that his hands had been so gentle and compassionate when he lifted me off the bed.
    I waved away the blanket he was offering me. I was shivering and goose bumps had popped up all over my skin, but there wasn’t but one thing on my mind, and that was getting close to my man.
    Gino needed me. This I knew for sure.
    I could feel him calling out to me with his heart, and every ounce of me was focused strictly on getting up there and answering that call.
    The attendant turned the wheelchair around cautiously, and pointed me toward the door.
    “Can you move a little faster?” I asked him. Both doctors gave him a look, and I got even more pissed off when they both shook their heads, no.
    I waited while they signed the papers giving me permission to leave the floor, and then we bounced.
    My police guard walked behind us as the attendant pushed me down an endless hall and through several sets of double doors. When we got to the elevators I saw we were on the third floor. Renata had told me the intensive care unit was on five, and if I could have jumped up outta that chair and ran up those two flights of stairs I would have.
    Finally, the elevator came
