“If she said she was sorry and ain’t gon’ do the background check, what you worried about?”

Shauntae had hardly slept. She dreamed that Darla had come into the house smiling and being really nice, but then she reached in Shauntae’s belly, ripped the baby out, and then pushed her out the front door. Shauntae banged on the door, crying and asking for her baby back. Gary, Darla, and the girls all came to the door, dressed in matching blue, preppy rich people outfits. Darla was holding her baby and he was dressed in the same outfit the whole family had on. Even though they opened the door and were standing there smiling at her, there was an invisible wall and Shauntae couldn’t get past it. She banged and screamed and all they did was stand there and smile. They looked like one big happy family and she was stuck on the other side of that glass, unable to get back in the house.

She had woken up in a cold sweat. Shauntae kept her hands on her belly, like she was protecting the baby from being stolen from her.

An hour after she woke up, Gary rushed in her room, said he was going to pick up the girls to take them to the hospital, and left. As soon as she heard the door slam, Shauntae had called Sherice.

“Shauntae, the ex-witch ain’t gonna send you to jail. What’s the problem?”

“If Gary gets married to her again, what happens to me? What if they try to take my baby?”

“He ain’t gon’ marry her. Remember you said they can’t even talk to each other without arguing.”

“She’s different after waking up from the coma. He said she’s like she was when he fell in love with her.”

“That ain’t gon’ last. She’ll be back to her evil witchy self in no time. That be happening to folks all the time in the movies. They wake up all wonderful like they done seen Jesus or something. And then, after a while, they go back to being whoever they was before.”

“You think so?”

“Yeah, girl. You worry too much. What kind of car you think he gon’ get you?”

“I don’t know. I ain’t worried about that right now. I want to get off bed rest so we can get to the justice of the peace.”

Sherice didn’t seem to hear her. “When you get them new wheels and that credit card, make sure you stop by my house before you go to the mall. We gon’ tear it up!”

“Sherice, I can’t be spending a whole lot of money. I’m broke and Darla got her own money and plenty of it. I can’t empty his pockets right now. I gotta make sure he marry me first.”

“Yeah, you pro’ly right about that. You need to lock him down before you drain him. Dang! You cain’t even have sex because of the bleeding.”

“Exactly. So what do I do to lock him down?”

“Sounds like you been doing a good job having some good conversations and asking him good questions.
