185 Its time (1/2)
Mrs Victoria and Jenna succeeded in sending Neto home for the night.Mrs Onome watched Jenna through out the night as she kept on checking on Sky, even with the nurse around. Mrs Onome couldn't hold it anymore so around 6:00am, she went into Sky's room to check on her daughters.
”This is why I don't allow you spend the night here. You knowthe nurse is here right? You don't have to check on her all the time.” Mrs Onome placed her hand on her daughters shoulder. She looked at Sky's hands in Jenna's and smiled bitterly.
”I know Mom, I just don't want to miss her waking up or if she moves her fingers or something.”looking down, Jenna avoided her mother's face.
”Jenna ....” Mrs Onome called out. She tried to control the tears that was almost out...she couldn't bear to see her daughters like this.
Jenna couldn't hold it in anymore. She released her breath and let the tears fall. ” It's been two weeks mom, yet no improvement. I have been hoping mom but I am tired. All she does is lay here lifeless.” Jenna said in a shaky hand as she squeezed the hand she was holding. ”Sister Mena please wake up, I beg you. I'm going crazy sist. I don't know what i'll do if you don't wake up.”
Jenna stood up immediately, startling her mom. She bent down and held Sky by the shoulder and started shaking her. ” If you are in there please show me a sign. Please just let me know it's going to be alright.” Jenna said as she weeped bitterly.
Startled, Mrs Onome quickly hugged her last child from behind and dragged her out of the room. ” Jenna! Jenna! calm down. I know how you feel but you will only end up hurting yourself and Mena. She'll wake soon dear...we just have to keep praying and hoping.”

Mrs Onome carried her weeping daughter out of the room, she didn't want to wake the babies so she signalled the nurse who was in the nursery, letting her know she was stepping out for a bit.
After thirty minutes of receiving fresh air. Jenna felt better. She washed her face and her teeth and went back to the nursery to meet her mom and the babies.
Mrs Onome and Jenna were feeding the twins around 7:00am when they heard noise coming from outside. It sounded like a bunch of people running. She exchanged questioning look with her daughter but Jenna shrugged. Curious, Jenna dropped the food and stood up with the Sky junior in her arms, she was almost at the door when her mother stopped her.
”Jenna, hold on. It seems like they are coming this way. Don't go close to the door.” Mrs Onome was about to phone Doctor Titi when the door opened.
”I won...” Chiamanda said smiling and panting. She put her hands on her knees for support.
Dwayne and Anton came in next with Kira and Mavis.
”Woh! we really are going to get chased out of the hospital. Why are you all running and why are you here so early?” Jenna asked surprised.
Before she could ask another question. Brianna, Jim, Tega, Femi, Zino and Bones walked into the room.
”How can a girl run that fast, especially on those shoes Chiamanda, are you on drugs?” Anton said panting as he entered with Kira.
”That's cause she's my woman” Bones said in a calm voice.
Everyone couldn't believe their eyes, so they all turned to look at Bones who turned red immediately.
Seeing that the kids were quiet, Mrs Onome used the opportunity to speak. ” Alright now I need you all to keep it down. Remember this is a hospital, we don't want to scare anyone to death. And why are you all here together? Did something happen?”
”Nothing, Mrs Victoria. We met at the hospital entrance so we took the elevator and came up here. We are just visiting.” Femi said, scratching his head.
The rest of the group looked away, avoiding Mrs Onome's eyes. Mrs Onome cleared her throat to get everyone's attention.
”Well ma'am, the thing is since we heard that Mr Neto finally spoke to the boss, we decided to come see if she's awake.” Chiamanda said smiling wryly.
”Mom you know how it is in the movies.” Jim said as he walked up to his mom, took her shoulder and led her away from the group.”When the coma patient finally hears from the person she wants too, then she or he will wake up. We just want to know how she is.”
Mrs Onome shook her head after her son finished explaining everything to her. ”Well you see, this isn't a movie. You can see her but you can't go in together. Let's divide the group into three, so pick your partners.”
Mrs Onome paused as she watched the kids pick their partners. Then she continued ” I know you all want her to wake up. She will, so please don't loose faith.” Mrs Onome handed the baby to Brianna and carried her grandson Tega who was lying in his father's arms quietly. The boy was too quiet for her liking, it's unlike her grandson. ”Hey little man. How are you doing?” She placed a small kiss on his cheek.
It was around noon by the time everyone left leaving Brianna, Tega, Mrs Onome and Aidenn in Sky's room.
