Sickness & Health

(Jay) 

Bey dried him off and put lotion on him. He was still crying like crazy. I can tell Bey was worried about him. She was trying hard to hide it. I was worried too. She took his temperature and it was 100'. Bey started to tear up. I knew Jayden was sick because he didn't want his pacifier. Bey sat on the bed while I got dressed. I told her to get him dressed so that we could take him to the ER. She put him in his footie pajamas, socks, and his beenie. She wrapped in him his blanked. I told my mom what was going on. We all got in the car. Bey sat in the back holding Jayden.

Bey: Jay, did you call his doctor. I don't wanna wait in this waiting room. 
Jay: No. Did you see me on the phone?
Bey: Alright. Goodness. I just asked you a question. 
Jay: Well, we're just gonna have to wait then. 
Bey: *sighs* Can you drive faster?
Jay: If I drive any faster we'll get pulled over. I'm going as fast as I can. We're almost there. 


*They reach the hospital 5 minutes later*


Bey: Jay, can you come and open the door please?
Jay: Yeah. *gets out and opens Bey's door* 
Bey: *gets out* Thank you. Can you grab his diaper bag? 
Jay: *grabs his diaper bag* 
Mama Gloria: Lets go in here and see whats wrong my  grandchild. 


*They walk in the hospital.*


Jay: Bey, you can sit down and I'll handle it. 
Bey: Okay. *goes to sit down* 
Jay: *goes to receptionist* 
Receptionist: Hello. How may I- Oh my God. You're-
Jay: Shhhhh!.....Listen. My son has a high fever and he's throwing up-
Receptionist: What's his name? 
Jay: Jayden Corey Carter. 
Receptionist: Can I see some ID please?
Jay: What? 
Receptionist: Sorry, its standard per-
Jay: Ight. Ight. Ight. *pulls out wallet and grabs ID* Here. 
Receptionist: Thank you. *Does her job* His doctor is seeing another patient but he'll be with you shortly. 
Jay: Thank you. *sits next to Bey*
Mama Gloria: What'd they say son?
Jay: Nothing. Just gotta wait for the doctor. 
Jayden: *whines* Ma-Ma.
Bey: *rocks him* Aaaaw, You said mama. *kisses his forehead* I tried to tell your daddy who you love more. He doesn't understand. 
Jayden: *starts to cry*
Bey: Jay, hand me his pacifier. Please.
Jay: *grabs it* *puts it in Jayden's mouth*
Bey: Thank God he wants it. I do not need him to be screaming and hollering in here. 
Nurse: Jayden Carter. 
Bey: *stands up* Come on Jay. 
Mama Gloria: Y'all go ahead. I'll be right out here.
Bey: *mumbles* Apparently. 
Jay: *sides eyes Bey* 
Nurse: Follow me. 


*They walk into the room* 


Nurse: Your doctor will be with you momentarily. *leaves*
Bey: Only one chair. 
Jay: *sits down* Just sit on my lap. 
Bey: *sits on his lap holding Jayden* 
Jay: At least he isn't crying and hollering. 
Jayden: *starts to cry*
Bey: Spoke to soon. Nice.
Jay: My bad. 
Bey: *stands up and rocks side to side* Shhhh, Its okay baby. 
Jayden: *whines* 
Bey: I know mommy's baby doesn't feel good-
Jay: *stands up* Huh babe, sit down. I'll stand up. 
Bey: Thank you. *sits* 
Jay: What do you think is wrong with him?
Bey: *sneezes* Excuse me-
Jay: Bless you. I hope you aren't getting sick too. 
Bey: Thank you. But its probably just my allergies. 
Jay: I hope so. No one has time to be taking are of two sick babies. 
Bey: Oh hush. *giggles* I'm fine. 
Jay: Better be. Aye babe, I was thinking since lil man can walk now. I was thinking that him and I could get matching tuxedos for the wedding. 
Bey: *sneezes* Excuse me. But that would be so cute. You're trying to make me cry even more. 
Jay: I think that would be so dope. He can wear Nike Dunks or something. 
Bey: Babe, my son will do no such thing.
Jay: Man. He's gone wear them and you gone like it.
Bey: Mm. Am I? 
Jay: Damn right. *chuckles* 
Bey: If you say so. 
Jay: So about this bachelorette party..
Bey: Yeah, what about it?
Jay: You heard me when I said "no strippers" right?
Bey: Mhmm. I heard you. 
Jay: I'm serious, Bey. 
Bey: I heard you, Jay. 
Jay: Mhmm. You think I'm playing. 
Bey: *giggles* Do I ever take you serious?
Jay: No. But you gone see. Just wait. 
Bey: Right. I'm sure of it. 


*Doctor walks in* 


Doctor: Hello. Looks like little Jayden isn't feeling too well. 
Bey: No. Not at all. 
Doctor: Well lets take a little look and see whats going on. 
Bey: Sounds like a plan. *stands up* 
Doctor: Lets lay him down and take him out of the blanket. 
Bey: *lays him down and uncovers him*
Jayden: *whines* *reaches for Bey*
Jay: *puts his arms down* Shhh, lil man. You are okay. Chill. 
Doctor: I'm going to listen to his heart beat first.
Jay: Ight.
Doctor: *tries to listen to Jayden's heart beat* 
Jayden: *squirms around*
Bey: Jayden, please be still for mommy.
Jayden: *squirms* *whines* 
Jay: *deep voice* Jayden. 
Jayden: *calms down* 
Bey: He doesn't feel good. Be nice to him. 
Doctor: *listens to his heart beat*
Jay: Thats why he needs to be still so we can see what wrong with him. 
Doctor: His heart beat is just fine. We know he's allergic to apples. Has he had any?
Bey & Jay: No. 
Doctor: And you said he threw up. How many times?
Bey: Just once. He was drinking his juice and he just threw up. I took his temperature and it was 100. 
Doctor: Yeah he's definitely very warm. I want to take his temperature again. Lets unbutton his pajamas just enough to get to his under arm
Bey: Okay. *unbuttons his pajamas* 
Jaydens: *whines* 
Bey: I know baby. Its okay...Mommy's gonna get you something to make you feel better.
Doctor: *takes his temperature* Its the same. Too high. I want to check his throat and his tonsils. So you might want to sit down and hold him. 
Jay: I'll hold him. *picks him up and sits down* 
Doctor: Beyonce, can you get him to open his mouth please?
Bey: Jayden, say ahhh. 
Jayden: *shakes his head no* Mmm mmm. 
Bey: Do like mommy. Say "ahh" for mommy baby. *opens her mouth* 
Jayden: *shakes his head no* 
Jay: Mommy's gonna give you candy if you open your mouth and say "ahh".
Jayden: *opens his mouth* Aaaahhh!!
Bey: Good one Jay. 
Doctor: *checks his throat and tonsils* They're a little red and sore. I'm going to run some other test. Just be on the safe side.
Bey & Jay: Okay.
Doctor: *does doctor stuff* Okay, well he has a stomach virus. Im going to prescribe some medicine for his fever, sore throat, and for his stomach. He'll be back to normal in 2 - 3 days. 
Bey & Jay: Alright. 
Doctor: I'll be back. *leaves* 
Bey: *picks Jayden up* Aaaaw, my poor baby is really sick. *sits down* 
Jay: He's gonna be fine. All that medicine. Boy gone be drugged up. *chuckles* 


*10 minutes later*

Bey: Thank you. *smiles*

*They go to the waiting room*

Jay: Are you sure that you're okay, babe?
Bey: Mhmm. I'm fine. Lets go get his medicine. I'm sleepy. *yawns* 
Jay: Ight. C'mon. 


*They go get his medicine and go home. Jay says good night to his mom. Bey, Jay and Jayden go into their bedroom*


Jay: Is Jayden sleeping in here with us?
Bey: Duh! Hand me his medicine please. 
Jay: *hands her his medicine* Why? He's sick, babe.
Bey: Which is why I want him to sleep in the room with us. I won't have go all the way in his room to get him.
Jay: If I get sick, I know something.
Bey: Please! You won't know anything. 
Jay: You right. *undresses* *sits next to Bey*
Bey: *gives Jayden his medicine.* 
Jay: He took that very well. I'm surprised.
Bey: Why? He's a good baby. 
Jay: I thought he would have put up a fight. 
Bey: Nope. Turn on Elmo, babe. 
Jay: Elmo? You see what time it is? I'm not watching anyone's Elmo.
Bey: *grabs remote* Anyway. *turns Elmo on* 
Jay: You really got me watching Elmo?
Bey: He'll be sleep in 5 minutes. 




*2 minutes later*


Jayden: *snoring lightly*
Bey: See. I told you. It hasn't even been 5 minutes. 
Jay: What the hell type of medicine? He is knocked out. 
Bey: That's good. He'll just sleep through his little pain. Now lay behind me so I can go to sleep. 
Jay: Say please.
Bey: Now. 
Jay: That works too. *lays behind Bey* 


*The next morning*


Bey: *in the bathroom* *throwing up* Jay!
Jay: *waking up* *sleepy voice* Oh shit! *gets up*

Bey: *death stare*
Jay: You look good, baby!
Bey: Suck my left nut. Liar. 
Jay: Alright. How about this. You brush your teeth and then take a hot shower. While I make you something to eat. Sound good?
Bey: I'm wit it, boo. 
Jay: *chuckles* Ight. *leaves*


(Bey) 
I brushed my teeth and then I got undressed. I got in the shower. Turned the water knob. My stupid self turned on the cold water. "Ohh shit!" I yelled. It was cold as shit. I hurried and turned on the hot water on. I took a hot shower. I hate being sick. My head is throbbing and pounding. I washed my body and got out. I put on Jay's sweats and tshirt. I climbed back in the bed with Jayden. He's still sleeping and snoring. He looks so cute with his mouth slightly opened. With his arms and his legs spread out wide. Just like his daddy. I kissed his forehead and laid down underneath the covers. Jay came in with some food on the bed tray. 


Bey: Whats that babe? 
Jay: Soup, bread sticks, oranges, and tea. *puts tray on her lap*
Bey: And this is suppose to help?
Jay: Yeah. *feels her head* You're warm. How's your throat?
Bey: Its sore. 
Jay: You gotta head ache?
Bey: Yeahh. Very bad. 
Jay: Ight. Eat that. I'll get you something for your head ache. 
Bey: Thank you, babe. 
Jay: No problem. *goes to the medicine cabinet* 
Bey: *starts to eat*
Jay: *comes back* Here. Take this after you eat. 
Bey: Okay.
Jay: *lays at the edge of the bed* Have you touched the remote?
Bey: Um, no. Why?
Jay: Because I'm not trying to get sick. *turns TV on* 
Bey: Oop. *takes pill* Babe?
Jay: *still watching TV* Yeah. 
Bey: Can you come up here, so that I can lay my head on your lap. Please.
Jay: Bey, you gone get me sick babe. 
Bey: Please. 
Jay: *sighs* Ight. *lays at the top of the bed* 
Bey: *lays on Jay* Thank you. 
Jay: Anything to make you happy. *covers her up* 
Bey: You're the best. *coughs* 
Jay: Was the soup good, baby?
Bey: *eyes closed* Mhmm. Thank you. 
Jay: No prob-
Mama Gloria: *knocks on the door*
Jay: Its open. 
Mama Gloria: Son, can you give us a minute?
Jay: Sure. Baby, get up. 
Bey: *rolls off of Jay* 
Jay: *stands up* You want me to take Jayden?
Bey: N-*coughs* *clears throat* I'm losing my voice.  No. *coughs* *holds chest* Ouch. 
Jay: You sure?
Bey: Mhmm. 
Jay: *shrugs* I'll be in the living room. *leaves*
Mama Gloria: *sits at the edge of the bed* Listen Beyonce, I think I should I apologize for what I said the other day. You're right, he's your child and how you and my son choose to raise him is between he and yourself. I shouldn't have tried to control his birthday party. I'm sorry. 
Bey: *raspy voice* Thank you. I appreciate that. I'm sorry for snapping the way-
Mama Gloria: Don't worry about it. Save your voice. Have you taken any medicine?
Bey: *shakes head no* 
Mama Gloria: Do you have anything to take?
Bey: *shakes head no* 
Mama Gloria: *feels her head* I know just what you need. I'mma head to the store. 
Bey: *raspy voice* Okay.
Mama Gloria: *leaves*
Jay: *walks in* Everything okay?
Bey: Mhmm. Come lay down please.
Jay: *lays down* What happen?
Bey: *lays on him* Nothing, everything is fine. *closes eyes*
Jay: Y'all coo? *covers her up* 
Bey: Mhmm.
Jay: Good. *holds her*


(Jay) 
Im glad that my two favorite womem are coo again. Them not talking would have caused too much chaos. Baby girl is sick just like Jayden. I have no idea how I'm going to take care of them both. But I'mma man so I'll be ight. Jayden was still knocked out. He sleeps just like me according to his mama. Like how does she know how I sleep. I bet her creepy ass probably watches me sleep. Werido ass. She was falling asleep. Just as she fell asleep. Jayden woke up crying. I guess he was hungry. I tried to get up without waking Bey up. Didn't work.


Jay: Sorry babe, I didn't mean to wake you up. 
Bey: Its okay, are you getting him something to eat?
Jay: Yeah. Same thing you ate. You want something?

Bey: Can I have some more oranges please. *grabs Jayden*
Jay: Sure, anything else?
Bey: Ummm. No. 
Jay: I'll be back. 
Bey: Wait, I wanna go in the living room. It's hot in here. *gets up*
Jay: Ight, but you need to put some socks on your feet. 
Bey: I hate wearing socks.
Jay: That's only way you're leaving this room. 
Bey: Babe-
Jay: I'm for real. You wanna stay sick? 
Bey: *sighs* 
Jay: Alright then. *gets her some socks* Here. *grabs Jayden* 
Bey: Stupid socks-
Jay: Please stop talking babe. 
Bey: *putting the socks on* You saying that I sound like a man?
Jay: Nah. I'm just saying that you should save that beautiful voice box of yours. That's all. 
Bey: Mhmm. *stands up and grabs blanket* 
Jay: *walks towards door*
Bey: *follows* 


(Bey) 
I laid on the couch with Jayden, while Jay got his soup. I turned Clifford on, on one of the TV's. Jay brought Jayden's high chair in the living, with Jayden's food on it. Jay grabbed Jayden and put him in his high chair. Jay sat in front of the high chair and he began to feed him. I put my feet on his lap.. To my surprise Jayden sat there and ate. He gave Jay no problems. He had a little more energy than he did last night. Which means he's getting better. Jay's mom came back with some medicine. That made Jay happy. She brought back like 3 different medicines. The first two were disgusting as hell. It made my body shiver. I smelled the 3rd one. "Eww! What the-". I said. "Its gonna work. Trust me. Just take it" She replied. So I plugged my nose and took it. Surprisingly it was good. Weird. "Thank you." I said in my dry and raspy voice. "Don't worry about it. Now I gotta get outta her. Shawn, you take care of your family now." She said. "You already mama. I got this." Jay replied. She said her good bye's and left. 


*2 Days Later* 


Jay: *driving* See, Jayden. Ya mama is always doing some stupid shit!!
Bey: Shut up, Shawn!! Don't tell him stuff like that!! He doesn't need to hear us fight and argue!!
Jay: *still driving, looking at her* Who the fuck are you talking to, girl??
Bey: I'm talking to your stupid ass. Who do you think?? You don't even know why you're mad. You just wanna argue with me.
Jayden: *cries*
Jay: See what ya stupid ass did. *focuses on the road* 
Bey: You have one more time to call me outta my name and I'mma slap the dog shit out you. 
Jayden: *cries* 
Bey: *looks back at Jayden* What's wrong baby? Is it your stupid daddy? He gets on mommy's nerves too.
Jay: Beyonce, don't make me slap you. 
Bey: *looks him up and down* Nigga, please. Ain't nobody scared of yo mark ass. You talkin all that noise. 
Jay: *flinches at her hard* 
Bey: *jumps* 
Jay: *stares at her* Scary ass!
Bey: *rolls eyes* *looks forward* SHIT JAY THE LIGHT IS RED!! STOOPPPP!!
Jay: SHIT!!!!


(Jay) 
I didn't slam on the breaks in time. We ended up in the intersection. A loud thud. An SVU smashed into us. Hit Bey's side. We spun around about 4 times, but it felt like 50 times. The airbags deployed. Jayden started hollering as if he were dying. We stopped spinning, finally. I coughed. "Beyonce? Are you okay?" I asked. I didn't get a response. I was light headed, head was pounding. Jayden was still screaming. I looked over at Bey. She had blood coming from a cut on her head. I got of the car. I had to check on my son. I opened the door. He looked okay. He had a few cuts on his arm. Other than he was fine. I grabbed him outta his car seat. Went to see about Bey. Her eyes were closed. She looked lifeless. My heart was beating extremely fast. I placed my fingers under her chin to see if she was alive. Thank God she was. I was about to call 911, I heard the sirens. They pulled up and went right to work. They grabbed Jayden from me and checked him out. They asked me if I was okay and touching me and shit. "Yeah yeah yeah. Im good. My wife, my wife. In the car." My tears came. They got Bey out of the car and put her on a stretcher. Put her in the ambulance. I grabbed everything that I needed from the car. Jayden's bag, and Bey's purse. I got the ambulance with Jayden.
