Today is Tyrek’s sentencing. Even though I haven’t seen or talked to him since he got locked up, I wanted to be there for this. Despite all the shit he put me through, I still love him. I would never wish this on him, but Marcus is where my hearts at. Since Tyrek been in jail, it gave me a clear vision on where I want to be. I will always love Tyrek, because we were more than lovers, we were friends. However, I’m in love with Marcus. Marcus is everything I ever wanted in a man, he’s who I deserve.
As I walked in the courtroom with Mrs. Huggins, I looked at Tyrek, who looked like he’s been through hell. He had a full beard, he needed a haircut, and he looked like he hasn’t been sleeping. As we sat down behind him, he looked back, mouthed …show more content…
“You may be seated. Case 230567 please stand.” Both Tyrek and his lawyer stood as the judge said, “How do you plea?” “Not Guilty your honor.” The judge then looked at Tyrek and said, “By pleading not guilty, you are taking this case to trial. Once this case goes to trial the sentencing stipulations will change from a minimum of five years to a minimum of ten, do you understand?” As Tyrek’s lawyer proceeded to answer, Tyrek stopped him and whispered something in his ear. Minutes later the lawyer requested a minute to brief with his client. The judge granted the requested and the lawyer and Tyrek got in a huddle. As they talked his mother and I moved in closer so we could hear, “How sure are you that we can win,” Tyrek asked his lawyer. “Like I said in the beginning, if this goes to trial, we will not win. The evidence against you is too strong. The fact that they found cocaine at the scene doesn’t look good and giving your history.” Tyrek sat back in the chair as he think. A few minutes later, the judge called the lawyer to make a decision. Tyrek whispered in his ear and then the lawyer …show more content…
The doctor then told the head nurse to prepare for delivery. Five minutes later the nurse came back with a gown. I changed into the gown and they wheeled me to labour and delivery. Once I was set up, Marcus walked in. He held my hand as he stayed by my bedside. Another nurse walked in and said, “Hey Ms. Pierce, I’m nurse Molly. I’m going to start you on a morphine drip; it will help with the pain.” “Thank God,” I replied in relief. A few minutes later she returned and said, “How do you feel?” “It’s starting to work. Thank you so much.” “No problem, now I’m going to induce you.” As she pulls out a syringe and stuck it in my IV, she then said, “I’m going to start you on an IV infusion of Pitocin. This will help you go into labor.”
Three hours later, I was ready to deliver. Dr. Williams checked my cervix to make sure I was dilated. He then looked at me and said, “You’re ready to deliver. I’m going to count to three and I want you to push as hard as you can.” I then looked at Marcus with fear. Marcus looked at me and said, “I got you, you can do this.” The doctor then looked at me and counted to three. Once he got to three I pushed as hard as I could. After the push, the doctor pulled the fetus out. While he held it in the palm of his hand, he
