Page 99 of Quasim III: King Inferno

“Yes.”

“On Tamoxifen?

“Yes.”

“Have you made an appointment with your oncologist, and informed them that you’re pregnant?”

She squeezed my hand. “She made an appointment for all that shit, but things happened, and we never got to make those appointments.”

“It wasn’t too long ago that we found out she was pregnant.”

“When?”

“A little bit before we went and got married.”

He screwed her face up as he looked at the files. “She’s well into her second trimester. Which means she was more than likely at the end of her first trimester when you both found out that she was pregnant.”

“My breasts were really sore and tender, and I thought it had to be the cancer returning. That was what happened when I found out I had breast cancer the first time.”

I kissed the back of her hand. “Tamoxifen will alter your cycle for sure. The longer you take it, the more your cycle will change. That is probably why you didn’t know you were pregnant.” Ramos continued to read her file.

“I’m going to call your oncologist and get you in to see him before you both move to Ashbourne. The bleeding, while I’m not completely sure, could be from doing so much activity. You’ve been on go since Quasim and Quameer were shot.”

“It’s a baby girl,” the sonogram technician blurted. It was like she was in her own world when she was tapping around on that machine. She looked around. “Was I not supposed to yell that out?”

We didn’t pay her attention as I looked down into Anjo’s eyes and she had tears. My tears fell onto her face, as she reached up to wipe them away. “Harley told me.”

Her eyes became wide when she realized what I had said. It all made sense when she whispered to me that Harley said it. Weboth had experienced my daughter at different times, and she told us about her sibling she sent to us.

“A baby girl.”

She smiled through her tears. “A daughter.”

Elijah leaned his head on my arm, and I pulled him into me. “Izayah Rose.”

The name flew out my mouth like word vomit. As if I had no control over my own mouth and thoughts.

“You won’t hesitate when it comes to naming her… I placed it right there.”

The words Harley told me came into my mind and I smiled, tears burning my eyes as I thought about my first daughter. “You thought of that on your own?”

I wiped my face and looked at her. “Nah, I had some help.”

She reached up and hugged her arms around my neck as I smothered her in kisses. The tears wouldn’t stop as I pulled Elijah in the middle of us and kissed him. “I’ll walk through fire for any of you… it’s us five against the world.”

Elijah smiled. “Harley.”

My faith had always been strong, but it had become even stronger. Knowing my baby was up there pulling strings and putting people in my life had me fucking emotional. “We’re Infernos… shit doesn’t tear us apart. I’m never leaving you or Anjo again.”

“Promise.”

I kissed his head. “I promise.”

When Menace sent an automatic text message to all of us, and told us to look outside, I wasn’t expecting the shit I saw. He had gifted each of us a Rezvani Vengeance.

The crazy shit was that Menace probably had all of them ordered while taking a morning shit. We were being transported to Ashbourne in that tank, without the Gods following us. We didn’t want to make it obvious with the Gods following us and giving them any reason to look into me not being dead.

This week had been busy with us going to different doctor appointments. I couldn’t go with Anjo, but I was on that damn phone like I was in the office with her. Her oncologist wasn’t directly concerned, but he wanted to keep a close eye on her.
