Chapter 31: THE NIGHT SHE DOESN'T REMEMBER

Damian had not slept in thirty hours.The private wing of Lenox Hill smelled like money and disinfectant. It was the wing Mr. G had insisted on because Mr. G had torn up a $5400 rent increase notice in Flatbush Apt 1B, framed it, wrote FREE RENT FOREVER on it with a Sharpie, and told the nurse at the front desk, "My tenants, they have eleven. I pay for private wing." Then Chioma had shouted, "Oga, na twelve!" and Mr. G had gone back to the frame and added "FOR TWELVE" underneath.Damian stood in the middle of that hallway in a charcoal suit that had not been charcoal for hours. It was stained with water, with sweat, with palm oil that Chioma had brought in a small container because Mummy Lagos said palm oil stops contraction. He held two little girls who looked exactly the same but were not.Lila, age three, was on his left hip. Pink dress. Unicorn socks. Hair in two puffs that Chioma had packed that morning before anyone knew they would end up in Lenox Hill. She had four pieces of pan

Just Jasmine.She was wearing a hospital gown that was too big, and underneath the hospital gown she was wearing nothing from Yaba market because Dr. Patel had said no Ankara inside OR area.

Not gele. Chioma's black bonnet that Jasmine had borrowed since March when she started working as Damian's nanny.

On top of the black bonnet, Dr. Patel had put a blue hospital cap because Dr. Patel said bonnet is not sterile for OR area. So bonnet under hosp

Chapter 36

Jasmine's hands were shaking. Not from the cerclage, not from the fluids, but from envelope 26th sitting on her belly.Damian was standing beside Bed 7, suit ruined, holding Lila on his left hip. Lila was holding her pancake Tupperware like it was a briefcase. She kept staring at Jasmine's bump.Inside envelope 25th had been Genevieve's video — 47 seconds, dark hallway, bonnet on the floor. Jasmine had watched it with Damian's phone. That bonnet was Chioma's. The same one she borrowed in March and never returned. The same one she was wearing now under the hospital cap.Mr. G came inside the private wing holding his framed notice. The one that now said FREE RENT FOREVER FOR SIXTEEN. He looked at Jasmine and Damian and said he had been outside that bathroom too on January 15th."I recorded audio," he said. "Two minutes. I was drunk. I thought the joke was funny so I pressed record."Genevieve cut in, "Play it. Let them hear it."Jasmine opened envelope 26th. Inside was a QR code and a t

Chapter 37

Jasmine didn't open envelope 27th immediately.She held it on top of her bump. The six were kicking. Especially the one at 129. The first one. The January one. The accidental that wasn't accidental anymore.Damian was still kneeling beside Bed 7, holding her hand with the $5 plastic ring. Lila was asleep now on his shoulder, pancake Tupperware still in her hand, unicorn socks dirty.Genevieve stood by the window in her white pantsuit, cracked iPhone in hand."Do you want me to play it or do you want to play it?" she asked Jasmine.Jasmine said, "I will play it."Mr. G was leaning against the wall holding his framed FREE RENT FOREVER FOR SIXTEEN like it was a baby. Chioma was outside the door holding the burnt jollof cooler, not shouting for once. Mummy Lagos had finally sat down.Jasmine scanned the QR code inside envelope 27th.Audio part 2 started. Same bathroom. Same party music far away. But this was one minute later. 11:48 PM. The bonnet was still on the floor. You could hear it

Chapter 38

Damian held envelope 28th but he didn't open it.He looked at Jasmine on Bed 7, 22 weeks, bonnet under hospital cap, bump with six inside, $5 plastic ring swollen on her finger, Ghana-Must-Go bag by the bed with her Ankara gown folded inside. He looked at Lila asleep again on the chair, unicorn socks dirty, pancake Tupperware empty now because she ate all four pieces while everyone was shouting.He had just heard his own voice from January. Drunk. In a Queens bathroom. Promising a girl in a bonnet that he would hire her in March, that he would leave the door open in Flatbush Apt 1B, that free rent forever wasn't a joke.He didn't remember saying it. But he remembered the feeling. The feeling of being alone with a three-year-old who thought she was CEO and fired him every morning if he burned the pancake.Genevieve was by the window, white pantsuit, cracked iPhone. She was the one who had recorded everything that night. Not because she was evil. Because she was at that party too, drunk

Chapter 39

Jasmine held the photo from envelope 29th. Queens bathroom wall, lipstick, drunk handwriting from January 15th. Two handwritings — his American, hers Nigerian — both writing the same thing at 11:50 PM after promising each other: FLATBUSH APT 1B - MARCH - FREE RENT FOREVER - LILA + BONNET - PROMISEShe had forgotten she wrote on a wall. She was drunk. Bonnet on floor. Ghana-Must-Go bag by door. She remembered promising to take care of Lila like her own. She remembered promising never to lie. She broke the second one for seven months.Damian held the other side of the photo. He didn't remember writing on a wall either. He was drunk too. But he recognized his own handwriting. The way he wrote A. He always wrote A with a sharp top. That was his A.Lila was between them on Bed 7 now, looking at the photo."Daddy, you wrote on wall? Mommy says writing on wall is bad," she said, CEO voice."We were drunk, baby," Damian said. "We shouldn't have."Jasmine looked at Genevieve standing by the wi

Chapter 40

Jasmine didn't let Lila move her hand.Lila's small hand was still on her bump, right behind where Dr. Patel had pointed, right behind accidental at 129 bpm, the first baby from January 15th, Queens bathroom, bonnet on floor, months before nanny job March, the one only Jasmine knew was Damian's for seven months while she worked as nanny in Flatbush Apt 1B, the one she lied about saying it was her ex in Nigeria.Behind that baby, something kicked.Dr. Patel had said fibroid does not kick. Fibroid is muscle. Fibroid does not have feet.Lila felt it kick again. She was three. She thought she was CEO. She fired Damian every morning for burnt pancake. She wore unicorn socks. She ate four pancake pieces while everyone was shouting about free rent forever. She was not a doctor. But she knew kicking."Mommy, something kicked behind brother," she said again, hand still on bump.Jasmine looked at Damian. Damian was standing beside Bed 7, charcoal suit ruined, holding envelope 29th yellow paper
