Can't Believe This Shit [Continued]

Draya sat next to Wayne comfortably with their hands in locked on the table. Nicki felt sick as she thought about her friend, Candi and how she was feeling right now. It washed away when she saw Candi coming to the table with a puffy face and a sad look on her face. Nicki and Safaree both looked confused as they walked up to the table. Nicki waved the waiter over to bring her a baby chair for the kids then turned back to them.

"What's.. What's going on?"

"Nicki, I'm sorry... I really am.. I miss you, so much and you know I love you."

"What did you do? Did he hurt you? Why is he here..."

"Nicki, baby.. Let them explain. Wassup, yo? Why you got me here?"

"Look, Safaree... I just wanted..."

"Mrs. Carter, your guest Mr. Wadley is here."

"Send him over."

"MRS. Carter? MRS?"

"Draya, what?"

Safaree asked confused with his eyebrows furrowed. Draya sighed before her lawyer came over with paper and a brief case.

"Wait, should we call our lawyer because..."

"If you want to, but it isn't necessary for this."

The lawyer intervened behind Draya could talk.

"What the fuck is going on?"

"Mr. Wadley could you step to the side for a minute."

Draya asked as the waiter came over with a joint baby chair. Nicki placed Alana and her seat cover in the right side and Akinu and his seat cover in the left side. Safaree watched Draya watch Nicki with her face fixated on Akinu. She looked away then over at him as he stared at her.

"Candi isn't married to Wayne... I am."

"WHAT?"

"SHH.."

"We got married as soon as you guys got the divorce. He knew you guys were sleeping together before I knew... I didn't want to believe him because I loved you..."

She whispered the last part as she fought back tears. She pulled herself together then began talking again.

"When I found out I was pregnant with your child and that you were cheating on me, I wanted to kill him, but I didn't... I thought I could love him and not hate him because of you, but I couldn't stop seeing you in him."

"And that's why we're here... And him."

Wayne interjected pointing to Wadley. Safaree mugged him and he sat back in his chair. Safaree's jaw was clenched as tight as his fist was that was around the back of Nicki's chair. 

"Why is Candi here?"

"I paid her to lie to you... She needed the money, but her good ol' friend wouldn't lend her any even when she told her, her son was sick."

"You wouldn't allow me! Don't you dare!"

"You always listen to what a man..."

"Not really, seeing as I didn't listen to you when I took our vows or those nights you begged me to come home because you knew.."

He clenched his jaw then nodded his head at Nicki spiting him. Draya waved over the lawyer and he quickly walked over and passed the papers to Safaree then one to Draya.

"Draya is giving up all her rights as a parent to Akinu and giving you full custody."

"What? He's your son.. Draya, what...?"

"I don't want him just as much as you didn't want me."

"Don't do this to him... Please.."

"He looks happy to me where he is and Nicki..."

"Wow. I can't believe I loved someone like you.."

"Like me? I didn't cheat on you, ever! You cheated on me the entire time we were together!"

"I didn't, but that don't matter... Where do I sign?"

"Here and here..."

He sat back and read it from top to bottom then again... He lifted up the paper and red the lighter pink side to make sure they matched and then he red the fine print and shook his head no. He passed the paper back to the lawyer and pointed to the bottom where it stated he had to give them ten thousand in emotional damages.

"I don't owe you shit."

"You caused this, you do!"

"We weren't married, so fuck you!"

He pushed back from the table and slammed the chair up to it. He picked up Alana and kissed Akinu, who held his arms up to him as he walked off.

"Let's go Nic."

"But... I'm not leaving him."

"Come on... I'll figure something out, but let's go."

He demanded but she stayed in her spot in front of Akinu. He walked back over to her and handed Alana to her. She placed her hand on Akinu's wet face as he cried out for him. She wiped at his tears and placed Alana in front of him. He kissed her face as squealed seeing him. He smiled big and goofy.

"Sign the paper, Faree."

"I'm not giving them ten thousand dollars."

"You won't have to because I will."

"No you're not... They fucked up your friendship just to get back at us..."

"Wait, you said there was no other parties involved?"

"No.. No.."

"What? Talk bro."

"They can only file an emotional damage claim if the only party that suffered was themselves, but they tried to handle it themselves... So..."

"It was me.."

Candi finally spoke up. She looked over at Nicki, who looked away from her as she stood to her feet with napkin from the bathroom stuck to her face because of how soft it was and her overflow of tears.

"I'm sorry, I betrayed you.. I needed the money. Twelve thousand is a lot of money to pass up and Naz needed it for his treatments."

"I know what he needed, you could've came to me, you didn't need them! You were trying to hurt me because I hurt you... You were my girl."

The lawyer got a black marker and blanked out the bottom part then handed it to Safaree. Safaree quickly signed it and the handed it back to him. The lawyer locked it in his brief case as Draya cried out and Wayne stood to his feet mad. Safaree grabbed Akinu and Nicki grabbed Alana and they left.

"I can't believe them?"

"Me either, but calm down Nicki."

He pointed to the kids sleeping in the next room. She let out a loud sigh as she walked over to the door and they were still napping. She turned around to him and looked up at him with sad eyes.

"What?"

"You were going to give up on him."

"Nicki, I wasn't... But I'm not gone give no ho my mo!9ney to be splurging with her nigga."

"You could have that back in a week."

"Two days, but that don't matter... That ho was out her mind. Can't believe I had feelings for her.."

"You really didn't.."

"What that mean?"

"Who's bed were you in most of your nights?"

She smirked pulling him towards her. He smirked pulling away from her. She grabbed his shirt and pulled him back towards her, but this time, he didn't pull away. She puckered her lips and watched as he pecked her lips.

"Did you just lay them down?"

"Yeah, why?"

"Let's get into our own fun while they're sleep."

"Oh, like what?"

"You down or nah?"

"Nope, I'm not gone be used and abused."

He stated crossing his arms and placing them on her head. She swatted his arms before they both started laughing. 

"Let's go watch movies."

"We haven't been to the movies in forever, yo."

"Let's watch Salt."

"Again? Why can't watch the Purge 2?"

"Safaree, I'm not watching no scary shit."

"But... Whatever. Let's go watch Salt."

She smiled grabbing his hand and pulling him towards the small home theater. He chuckled watching her walk in front of him. She smirked catching him staring when she went to see what he was laughing at. 

"Don't stare, take a picture."

"I am, a mental one."

She laughed letting his hand go. She went rummaging through the DVDs for the movie. He sat and thought about their convo earlier and their visit to the doctors late that afternoon of the meeting day.

"Yo, what if he ain't my son?"

Nicki turned around slowly and eyed him for a minute before seeing the look of sadness on his face. Nicki threw the few movies in her hand on the floor and walked over and sat in his lap. She wrapped her arms around his neck and kissed his lips.

"He'll always be our son, no matter what the test says."

Safaree and Nicki sat at the table a few days later staring at the large tan envelope that was addressed to them both. She looked up at him and he frowned finally placing his hand on the envelope. They both looked towards the stairs where Alana could be heard crying. Nicki stood up and touched his hand before walking away to get Alana. He sighed loudly before pulling the paper out of the envelope. He skimmed over it expecting to see his worse nightmare happen before him. 

He read it again and nodded his head happily as he read 99.9% DNA Match for Akinu Lloyd Samuels. He pushed away from the table and rushed over and up the stairs. He went to the kids' bedroom but they weren't in there. He rushed to their bedroom, but they weren't in there either. He looked confused until he saw the bathroom door open and the light on. He nearly ran into her as she walked out in her bra and shorts. He picked her up and kissed her. 

"He's mine. Baby, he's mine."

She laughed then pecked his lips again as she wrapped her legs around him. He walked back into the bathroom where Akinu and Alana lay in their baby bath tubs. He placed Nicki on the sink next to them and kissed them both. Alana squealed then held her hands out to him. 

"You know you have to pick her up if she see you do it to someone else."

"You done bathing them?"

"Yeah, I was going to get their clothes."

He picked Alana up then Akinu. Akinu reached out for Nicki as she hopped down from the sink. She laughed at the sour look on Safaree's face as she took Akinu from him.

"What I do?"

"Yelled at him, earlier."

"He'll get over it.."

"And so will you."

"Don't take up for him."

"My little Safaree."

"Whatever."

She laughed as they dressed the kids in matching colored outfits. She put her hand under his chin and pulled his face towards her and kissed him. 

"I told you."

"You were right."

"I get my prize right?"

He chuckled at her licking her lips and looking him up and down. He picked up Alana and looked at her. He looked over at Nicki then back at Alana.

"Don't be like your mom and take a man for his goods."

"Safaree! Don't tell her that!"

She laughed punching him in the arm. He kissed Alana cheeks before they continued to get ready to go out for the day. Nicki had a meeting before she met back up with Safaree at the kids' appointment with their doctor. 

"Safaree don't forget to pinch the nipple on the bottle got Lani."

"I got it written down on my mental notes."

"Don't forget to feed Akinu those snacks... No McDonald's, Faree."

"But..."

"Not even for yourself, I'm cooking tonight."

"Oxtail babe."

"What about Gumbo?"

"Alright."

He replied as he grabbed both full carseats. Akinu waved his hand at Nicki, who was waving hers at him. He placed his hand over his mouth and blew her a kiss. She did the same back to him as they walked to the truck. He placed Alana on the back seat then pushed her over to the passenger side then placed Akinu in and strapped him in. He walked around and strapped Alana in and she reached for him. He kissed her cheek and squealed with a big toothless smile on her face. Akinu lifted his head and looked over at her with his two front teeth in his mouth.

"I make some beautiful ass kids."

Nicki reached for the Starbucks building door and stepped in with her sunglasses still on her face. She scanned the room with just her eyes and caught her waiting guest watching her with nervous movements. She walked up to the table and sat down without a word to her guest. Which technically she was the guest, but she was the one asked to come. She cleared her throat as the watery eyes stared at her with a black bang nearly cover the eyes. She pulled her hand back when the person tried to touch her.

"I'm giving you five minutes to explain the then I'm leaving."

"Nicki, stop acting like we don't have his...."

"Save the past talk for someone because you just like I know, know we had history. You should've thought about that before you crossed me. Four more minutes."

"Really? I'm trying to fix our friendship.. The least.."

"Three minutes."

"Onika, please. I'm sorry, I fucked up our friendship. I know.. But I'm willing to do anything to save what's left of it."

"There isn't anything left. You chose where we stand when you did what you did, but for it to be all fake and for money? It's crazy."

"I gave the money back... All of it. I rather have you in my life than money..."

"You should've kept it. Our friendship is over and good luck with Nas, I hope he gets better."

She stood up and began to walk away from the table when Candi grabbed her arm. She placed her other hand in Nicki's and pushed a piece of paper in her hand. Nicki let it drop to the floor then turned around yanking her hand away.

"You'll miss me."

"It's better than having someone fake in my life."

They both shouted across the room. Candi huffed as she sat and watched her ex best friend walk out of the door. She reached over and picked up the paper and sighed. It was the check from Draya and Wayne that she now ripped up. She didn't know how and when she would be able to get back into Nic's life, but she had to be there and she needed her forgiveness more than anything.

Can't Believe This Shit

Nicki rubbed Alana down with baby lotion as she watched Akinu sit in front of the TV watching spongebob. He looked back once he heard the door open and in walked Safaree. He smiled big then pushed up on his legs and waddled over to him.

"Hey, man..."

"Dadda."

"You ready?"

He asked Nicki as he picked up Akinu. She nodded her head in response as she clothed Alana. They were just leaving her mother's house after the Sunday dinner which ended rather early for everyone after they left the table. Nicki was currently in her feelings because Draya had contacted Safaree and he had responded even though she told him not to.

"Here, take her to the car while I put on my shoes and... I'll be right there."

"I wish you would talk to me instead of having this attitude."

"You don't listen to me anyways."

He nodded then walked out the room with both kids on his hips. He knew if they didn't argue it out that this would continue. He just didn't feel like arguing with her, but he didn't want her attitude either. He placed Akinu in his chair then reached over and put Alana in hers. He looked over his shoulder to see Carol and Nicki hugging then she walked down the side walk to the car. He stopped her before she got in and she huffed crossing her arms over her chest. 

"Before we get in this car, talk to me."

"No, I'm ready to be in my bed."

"Nicki.."

"Safaree, does it matter what I say?"

"I wouldn't be asking if it didn't."

"I'm mad at you... You know exactly why she called."

"It's our son... I know how you feel about him Nic, but what can I do? I don't have no rights."

"You could if you fought for him."

She mumbled looking into the car at the kids. He knew the day was coming, but he hadn't expected it to be so soon. He hit the top of the car like a drum then walked around to his side as Nicki got into the car. He waved bye to Carol as she stood by the door waiting for them to drive off.

Nicki woke up in her bed with Akinu and Alana next to her. She picked them up and placed them in their bed that was near their bed. She looked towards the bathroom where the light was peeking through the bottom. She grabbed the handle and pushed it open to see Safaree taking a shower. She stepped inside and watched him as he hummed to the music that was currently playing. She sat up on the sink and turned the music down. He turned to her and sighed then turned back to his shower.

"I got us dinner... I fed Alana and Akinu. Oh, and I took the trash out and clean..."

"What happen with Draya?"

"Nothing.. Really."

"Safaree."

"She hasn't come yet, I have to meet with her in the lobby down town in an hour."

"Is that why you're in the shower? Getting all clean and fresh for your bitch?"

"Nicki..."

"Save it."

"Yo, chill the fuck out and listen to me."

He stated with bass in his voice before she could get down. He rinsed off and walked over to the clothes basket that was in the large bathroom. He showed her his ripped shirt and his now dirty and kind of ripped pants.

"I went to the dirt bike park with Steve. I fell off my bike and just got here to clean up and take a shower. That's it."

"Oh."

She offered a smile, but he just shook his head as he placed the clothes in the trash can. He walked out into the bedroom and that's when she noticed the long cut on his arm. She grabbed his arm and winced in pain.

"Did you even clean it?"

"Yeah, when I got in the shower."

"Safaree, that's not what I mean... Come here."

"It's fine, Nic.."

"Safaree, that thing is like six inches long and a inch deep. Come here."

"You really bugging, it's not that bad.. But whatever."

He stood by the sink and let her doctor on his arm. She poured almost half the bottle on the cut which was from his elbow down to half of his arm and wasn't that deep, but deep only near his elbow. She then told him to brace himself as she poured alcohol on it. 

"Shit! Shit! Fuck!"

She quickly blew on it as she wrapped some bandage around it. She wrapped it around his arm a good four times before grabbing a towel and wrapping it around it.

"Can I get dressed now?"

"Go."

Nicki sat in the back seat with the kids as he drove them to the lobby downtown. She had decided last minute that she was going with him and he had to wait another hour for her to get dressed after the hour bath which she had suckered him into getting in with her. Then she wanted to put on a too sexy dress as if they were going on a date, so he made her change and she came back in a sexy dress and he still didn't like it. She currently had on a pencil skirt with a sheer top that she wouldn't part with and some pasties. He helped get the kids out then held his hand out for her. She placed her hand in his and pulled her up.

"Is she already here?"

"Yeah, we're the ones late."

"Good, let's get this over with."

"I wish you'd put on my jacket."

"Give it to me. If that'll make you feel better."

He quickly took it off and handed it to her. She pulled it on and liked how it fit even though it was still big on her. He walked up to the host table until she caught his eye. He shook his head and waved as they walked over to the table. They both gasped as they walked to the table and couldn't believe what they saw before their very eyes.

[I was asked to update this.. So I will & I just did]

[Yes, it's a cliffy & yes, I'll get you the other part soon... Just let me know if you really want this updated. :/]

Clear The Air II

Nicki sat in the doctor's office after having a pain in her stomach for a week. Safaree sat next to her rubbing it. Only two weeks before Alana's due date and she felt like she was going in labor. He was trying to soothe her through the pain, but nothing was getting to her besides the pain. Alana please be good for mommy. Nicki thought as the pain now increased and her voice came from deep down letting out a long scream.

"Dr. Santiaga, Mrs. Samuels needs a room now. I think she's in labor."

"You think?"

She shouted back coming down the long hallway. As the nurse helped Nicki to her feet, her water broke and a contraction hit soon after. The nurse swiftly placed her gloved hand between Nicki's legs and realized that it wasn't her water that had just broke, it was piss. She swiftly moved over to Safaree and then stepped back rushing to the doctor. Nicki was already in full labor with Alana's head coming through as she stood. Safaree picked her up and carried her through the hall after the nurse.

"Faree, what's going on? Is Alana okay?"

"Are you okay?"

"I'm in pain, but that's it's what's going on with Alana?"

She asked voice shaking now. It wasn't Alana with the problem, but Nicki. They placed her in a room and hooked her up. Dr. Santiaga walked in with four nurses behind her. Nicki was laid out exhausted as the pain died down for a few seconds before starting up again. She sat up and let out a painful scream that caused the room to suddenly stop. Safaree looked at the horrific look on her face and noticed she looked washed out. The doctor noticed too.

"Call Onika's primary care physician and Summer."

"Yo, what's going on?"

"We're about to prep Onika for delivery now! I'll show you as soon as we get her legs up and open and her monitor on. The monitor you hear now is Alana's."

"It's fast."

"Because Onika is panicking."

"Do you want..."

"Try to, get her to stay calm.. She has been in labor what looks like three days."

"THREE DAYS?"

"As long as she didn't push or reach ten centimeters, she wasn't going to deliver."

He went over to a tired Nicki and began calmly talking to her. He spoke to her about their future plans and how beautiful Alana will be. As he talked Alana's heart beat slowed down and the doctors were ready for her to deliver. She looked down then back up at Safaree, who smiled then kissed her deeply. She smiled then pushed hard as her doctor had told her. 

Safaree sat next to Nicki, who was holding their six pound baby in her arms as she breast fed her. She was the most beautiful being that they had seen. Her eyes were shut tight as she sucked pure life out of her mom. Nicki looked up at him and smiled at the dried tears on his face. 

"She's beautiful like you."

"Awwww."

Was all she could muster without crying. Nicki had caught an infection sometime during the week, so the doctors had to treat her for that and keep Alana from swallowing any fluids around her face as she came out. They successfully treated the minor infection and delivering Alana, naturally. She looked down into her child's pretty face and smiled.

"Alana Mei Samuels, our pretty baby girl, is here Faree!"

She stated excitement in her small voice so she wouldn't disturb her. Safaree kissed her then kissed Alana's small forehead full of hair. She stopped eating then started again. Nicki smiled them laid her head on Safaree's shoulder.

[One Week]

Alana lay screaming at the top of her little lungs alerting her happy parents that she was in need of something. Nicki and Safaree both entered the room as they looked around for bottles and a diaper just incase. Alana never cried unless hungry or wet. When they looked in the bed, she had her thumb in her mouth. Nicki pulled it out and replaced it with her nipple. Alana latched on and began drinking as Safaree went for a warmer bottle. He passed it over to her, but she shook her head no. He shrugged then left out to open the now buzzing doorbell. He looked out the peephole, but there was no-one there. He pulled the door open cautiously with his bebe gun and pointed it out the door when a cry broke him from his protective stance. He looked down to see a pair of beady light browns and his face in small form. He pushed the toy bat off the doorbell and handed it to the little boy, who instantly stop crying. The little boy sat on a blanket staring up at him. He picked the boy up and there was a note placed neatly in his back pocket. He pulled it out then grabbed the boy's toys and bag. He placed the things on the floor as he carried him to the bedroom where Nicki sat on the bed burping Alana. She sat up as she watched Safaree place the little boy on the bed and he stared over at Nicki. 

"Who is that?"

"Lloyd."

"Lloyd?"

"Akinu Lloyd Samuels."

"What? Safaree answer me."

"My son, Draya dropped him off with this note."

Nicki placed Alana in the crib then walked over to see what he was reading. Nicki read it as Safaree sat in a daze not knowing what to do next. Nicki frowned then wrapped her arms around his neck and sat on his lap facing him. She pecked his lips repeatedly until he pecked back. He frowned then looked back to see Akinu standing on the side of the bed over Alana's crib staring down at her as his curls fell over his eyes.

"I can't believe she just dropped him off, he's a baby for crying out loud."

"She said she can't look at him without seeing me."

"I know, but she'll just have to get over it. So what are we going to do about him?"

"What you mean? I'm going to raise my son."

"Oh."

Nicki answered sadly going back over to Alana. Akinu placed his small hand between the crib rails and poked Alana's small tummy then smiled a toothless smile as she squirmed then turned on her side. He frowned deeply then began crying. Nicki rolled her eyes as Safaree came over and craddled him tightly in his arms. She rubbed Alana's stomach then stared up into Safaree's loving eyes as he soothed a whimpering Akinu.

"Father of the Year."

"Nicki?"

"Whatever, me and Alana are going to the guest room so you and your "son" can bond."

She stated sarcastically before picking Alana up and walking out the bedroom. He shook his head and followed behind her as made her way to the guest room and laid down with Alana next her. He laid down beside them with Akinu and Alana next to each other. He reached over and touched her warm face as she stared at him not blinking.

"She isn't coming back to get him?"

"Don't seem like it, but does it matter?"

"It kind of does. We already have our hands full with Alana.."

"It's two of us.."

"We're about to both go back to work tho. Then who will be watching them?"

"We could hire a baby sitter or..."

"No."

"Why not?"

"I don't need another woman around my man or my home. Raising my daughter."

"Okay, your mom and my mom? They'll love it and you trust them."

"I don't want to be a burden on their lives."

"Well, Nic.. With our careers going back to full speed what do you want to do?"

"Slow down, take care of this.. We can always do business from home."

"Alright, well he's staying until Draya comes to get him."

"Fine, but we're getting rid of the guest room."

"Why?"

"He needs his own space."

She stated pushing off the bed and looking over the two sleeping babies. He watched as her eyes jumped from one to the other then finally landing on him. She smirked then crawled over them and straddled his lap.

"They look just like you when they're sleep. Stretched out and needing a body to cuddle."

"That right?"

"Accurate and true."

She smiled laying down on him with her head facing the little bodies next to them. They both were stretched out with one hand in their hair and the other next to their face as they faced each other. Nicki lifted her phone to take a picture and posted it on IG. She laid it down and fell asleep on her husband.

Nicki pushed the double stroller in front of her as Safaree held on to the single stroller that had all their shopping gifts in them. She had talked him into taking all three of them on a shopping spree. She even picked up some stuff for him, but didn't let him see it as she slipped it in her clothes. Akinu needed new clothes and Alana just got extra stuff that Nicki wouldn't part with and pouted over hundred times in three hours to get her way. 

"I'm a go in the shoe store, get them some shoes and a pair of slip ins."

"Slip ons, Faree and neither of them are walking."

"So, it's..."

"No. You just want to get you some shoes."

"So? It's my money."

"Our money and don't be an ass about your little money."

"Little? Oh.."

"Yes, little."

She stated with a smirked. She squealed as he walked up on her and pulled her close. He put his lips on her neck and sucked on it. She moaned giving into his display of affection. She wrapped her arms around his neck and pulled. He pulled away and pushed her back towards the shoe store. She held on to the stroller as she backed up with a big smile on her face.

"Faree, stop."

"What I do? Big Money?"

"I said no and I have a big ass hickey on my neck!" She complained looking in the reflection of her phone screen. "Akinu.."

Akinu looked back over the side of the stroller and furrowed his eyebrows like Safaree after she called his name. She pointed to the spot on her neck then pointed to Safaree.

"Get daddy."

"Dadda"

Safaree looked towards Akinu, who had his little fist up then aimed it towards his father. They both bust out laughing at the silent threat he did everytime Nicki told on Safaree. And he was good on his threats too. As soon as he got the chance he'd go after him. He sat back as quickly as he came.

"I can't believe you taught him that son."

"You gone learn, play boy."

She smirked leaning her body into the back of the stroller then pushing forward towards the kid's footlocker. She glanced over her shoulder as she heard Safaree smack his lips.

"You said you're getting shoes for them."

"Yeah, Yeah."

"Nicki!"

They both turned to see Candi and Lauren walking up behind them. Nicki hadn't spoken to Candi in over a month and didn't care to. She quickly turned away and continued on her route to the shoe store. Safaree followed suite as they entered into the store, Candi walked over and blocked Nicki's way. He frowned deeply as Nicki looked away from her and down into the stroller.

"You never let me come see her, she's beautiful."

"Thanks and you know why."

"Nicki, he shouldn't come.."

"Candi, it's not about him, fuck him. You! Tore our friendship apart by pursuing my ex. I would never."

"You didn't want him."

"And I don't want you as a friend."

"Over a guy?"

"If you think it's over him, then we obviously were never friends. Now, my family and I have shopping to do. Goodbye."

"Nicki.."

"You can run behind her Lauren."

Nicki pushed the stroller around them and continued shopping as if nothing happen. Candi stood staring at her in disbelief. She ignored it as she pulled on Safaree's shirt and pointed to the pink and white shoes for Alana.

Akinu waddled over towards Nicki as she cleaned up Alana's poop diaper. She looked up and he held out a bag of cookies to her. She smiled and pushed him down onto the pillow palet they had laid out on the floor. He giggled then stood up and grabbed her shirt and pulled himself up. In the two months, he's been there, they taught him how to walk and to signal when he wanted or needed something until he could fully speak.

"Dadda, Ma?"

"Yes, baby, go get em'."

She said egging him on. He fastly waddled over to the door as Safaree stepped inside the house. He looked exhausted, but instantly a smile came through seeing his son's happy face as he held up his arms to his dad. He picked him up and walked into the direction that he pointed. He knew exactly where to go and who he was going to.

"Mama!"

"Hi, Babe."

"Wassup?"

"You look tired, do you want to rest before this Sunday dinner?"

"Nah, let's go. I can go up to the guest room and me and Lani can take a nap."

"Okay, what about Akinu?"

"He hasn't taken his?"

"No, he told me no and been up since then."

"Akinu."

"Huh?"

"Nap."

"Dadda."

"What did your Ma say?"

He laid his head on his dad's shoulder and closed his eyes. Nicki laughed quietly to herself as he pretended to be sleep then popped his head back up. He smiled at Nicki, who smiled back and was met with a glare from Safaree.

"That's why he don't take his naps."

"He's so sweet and he doesn't get into anything."

"Whatever, you argue his defense all the time."

"Faree!"

She whined as she picked Alana up and handed her over to him. He smiled big at his little girl, who's light browns stared down at him as he held her over his head and kissed her jaws that were big and soft. Akinu clapped then grabbed Nicki's boob and squeezed. She pulled him back and stared into his goofy face. She frowned deeply as Safaree laughed at the look on her face. 

"That's not funny, it hurt. Asshole."

"He doesn't do anything."

He mocked as he walked out the door, grabbing the babies' bags and Nicki's purse. He pulled the door open then shouted back into the house.

"Get your shoes Nic and grab the bottles."

"I got them."

Safaree woke up next to a sleeping Akinu and Alana. He picked Alana up and placed her comfortably in the crib then picked up Akinu and laid him on the other side inside the crib. He looked down and put a blockage between them then left out the guest room. He crept slowly down the stairs towards the voices that he figured were in the living room. He stepped on the last step then turned back towards the kitchen. He picked up his pace and stepped inside the kitchen. He smiled seeing Nicki leaned against the sink with a smirk on her face. He walked over to her and leaned into her body. She put her chin into his chest and looked up at him.

"Finally, Sleeping Beauty."

"Whatever yo. Opening up a shop in just two months is tiring."

"You have a shop in BK. I don't know why you want one in Upstate?"

"More business, More money."

"Whatever, kisses."

"Nah, these lips only for Alana."

"I'll fight my own child for you."

She laughed wrapping her arms around his neck and pulling herself up. He lifted her up on the counter and they began to make out. He instantly got hard as the kiss intensified and Nicki's soft hand wrapped around his shaft. She tugged then squeezed.

"Onika and Safaree."

Safaree looked back to see Jelani and his wife staring at them. Nicki laughed pulling her hand out of his pants. He went soft as quickly as he had gotten hard.

"That's why you guys got Alana now."

"He seduced me, I just wanted a kiss."

"I seduced you? Alright."

He chuckled then leaned into her and whispered in her ear. "Wash your hands." She smirked then put two of her fingers in her mouth and wrapped her lips around them sexually and smirked as she pulled them out. He turned away and walked out the kitchen quickly. Jelani shook his head as she leaned over the sink and washed her hands.

"What?"

"My little sis is a freak. Who made you like this?"

"Safaree.."

"My bro is a good guy, don't blame him for your sins."

They both cracked up as she jumped down from the counter and followed him into livingroom. Nicki immediately felt annoyed seeing Candi with Wayne as she approached the room. She swiftly avoided them both and sat on the other side not looking in their direction. Safaree came in the room and motioned for her to follow him. She sighed of relief and quickly ran up behind him. He let her go ahead of him as they went to the guest room.

"Nic."

"Daddy?"

"Go up the stairs yo."

He chuckled trying to keep his focus as she rubbed her back side against his front. She stopped and pulled him close and whined into him slow. He sucked in a breath and closed his eyes as she continued to seduce him and his penis was at attention. She pulled him up the stairs planning on giving him the business, but when she saw Akinu laid next to Alana with his arm wrapped around her body, protectively, she awed too loud waking them up.

"I'm a go to the bathroom and take care of this."

"No! I'm a take care of them then you."

"Nicki, not in your mom's house."

"That didn't stop us in high school."

"Nic, that was years ago and an accident."

"Sleeping with me was accident? So you getting in my bed and screwing me until the morning while my parents were gone was an accident."

"Baby, that's not what I meant... I mean sleeping in your parents house."

"Whatever."

She stated feeling some ways about what he said. She picked up Alana and then let Akinu latch on to her. Alana stared into the side of her face with her little eyebrows furrowed still in a sleepy state. She walked over to the bed and got in laying Akinu down then pulled out her boob and let Alana grab tight of it and began feeding her face. Safaree got up and changed into his sweats and a blue T-shirt. He got in next to her and looked over to see Akinu sleep on her thigh. He looked at her then down at her round breast that were calling to him. He lifted her shirt over her other boob and suck on it. She moaned before she could say anything. She was confused by the love and innocence of her baby girl and the wetness her husband was causing between her legs. She leveled her body then tighten her lips to stop the moans from escaping her lips. He pulled away then looked in her eyes as he stuck his hand up her skirt and rubbed her clit lightly then put it in his mouth.

"Faree, get Akinu."

"Alright."

He grabbed his little a then his body and laid him between them. She stared at him with lowered eyes as frowned at the heat vibing between her legs. Alana leaned away from Nicki and rolled over onto her back. Nicki pulled her shirt down and got out of the bed. Safaree got up following behind her, but turned around and pulled some pillows from the top and placed them around Alana and Akinu. He turned and followed where he saw her go. She finger waved him over to her father's den. He followed her down the stairs, she pushed open a side door and he crotched down and into the space. She closed it back and pushed him towards the wall. She lifted her shirt over her head then pushed her skirt to the floor.

"What is this?"

"Safe room."

She answered pulling down his pants as he stared around the room that had a camera for most of the house in it. He lifted his arms for her to take off his shirt. She turned around and leaned back against and stared at the screen where their kids lay sleeping still. He grabbed her swollen breast and massaged them. Nicki turned and pulled him down on her as they fore played. They hadn't had sex since Alana's birth and Akinu made it an even more distance activity since he wouldn't sleep in his own bed without Safaree, so Nicki stayed up plenty of nights aching for him, but when he got back all he did was go to sleep.

"Faree, why are you so big?"

She asked helping him enter into her. He chuckled then sighed into her ear as her warm tightness took him in.

"Why you so tight?"

"Hmmm.."

Dinner was finally being served at eight around the same time as Alana's last feeding, so Nicki sat at the table eating and feeding her baby. Safaree sat feeding Akinu pieces of Mac&Cheese as he talked across the table to Jelani and Robert.

"You and Nic been sleeping a lot, kids wearing you down?"

"We enjoy them, work is the problem."

"You back working again?"

"Yeah, just a little travel from home to the city, but that's about it. Nicki been getting some more designs for her maternity collection.."

"The cutest designs.. I'm starting a little girls line too, but it's a Mommy and Mini Her line. Dress the little girls to match like their mother."

"So you and Alana are going to be twins?"

"Yes, Mommy's baby will be."

"Nicki can I speak with you?"

Nicki rolled her eyes at Wayne's interruption. She didn't acknowledge them the entire night and didn't plan to until her mother spoke up.

"Onika, stop ignoring that man."

"What do you want?"

"Alone.."

"Anything you have to say, you can say it right now or it's not important."

"Onika."

"Mommy."

She stated not looking her way. Carol shook her head.

"I'm sorry about this."

"You aren't and neither is she and I don't know why you worthless ass people are here. You guys are no family of mine."

"Onika!"

"Nicki, I'm sorry.. I can't help who I fall in love with."

"You slept with him when he was with me, so your intentions were very clear in hurting me."

They both sat quietly.

"At least I didn't sleep with your best friend."

She stated getting up from the table. Safaree let Akinu down and he wabbled behind her up the stairs. The room was quiet.

"Faree.."

"Candi just eat. I really don't got nothing to say... Nah, I do. You trifling yo and that's crazy. You even had him come back to her, to make it not obvious. That's fake, bro."

He got up and followed behind Nicki. The dinner was quiet and sour as everyone still seated at the table ate in silence.

Surprises

"Safaree, button them back up! You're always touching stuff that doesn't belong to you."

"What? You saying... And this does belong to me. You interrupted my make out session with my wife!"

"Unbuttoning MY wife's pants don't have anything to do with her.... Faree you are so nasty!"

Candi shouted realizing what he was talking bout. He laughed buttoning up a very horny Nic's pants. She frowned grabbing his arm and looking up with her puppy dog eyes. He read her lust filled eyes behind the pout face. He kissed her to hold her off then kissed her stomach. She still didn't let his arm go.

"Yes, Nic?"

"Stay."

"But your girl..."

"Do what your wife says boy."

He chuckled then sat back down next to her. Candi looked over at Nicki then down at her belly that was now showing because she had lifted it up so that Safaree could rub it. He was whispering and kissing it as Alana placed her hand up.

"Nic, have you decided which crib you're getting Alana? I already placed an order for the walker and bouncer."

"No, Faree hasn't looked at it yet."

"I did too, I picked the all white with the pink bed.. Remember?"

"Oh yeah, that one looked so comfortable and big."

"Have you guys thought about the wedding?"

"Yes, we'll have it in June after Alana is born."

"Why not before?"

"She can come anytime soon and I don't want to risk it."

"What about waiting until next year so you have it more planned out... I mean your mom thinks..."

"Candi, why are you really here?"

Nicki interrupted sensing the run around the real issue talk. Candi sighed then looked off then back at Nicki. Nicki sat up seeing the long look on her friends face. Safaree leaned back then groaned as Nicki put pressure on his manhood not paying attention to where she placed her hand.

"Nic!"

"Sorry, baby.. What's going on Candi?"

"Don't get upset, but I kind of invited Wayne to the baby shower." She rambled off trying to read their body language. Nicki chuckled as Safaree nervously rubbed her thigh. Nicki placed her hand on his thigh then kissed his ear and whispered something she couldn't hear into his ear. He stopped rubbing and looked at Candi coldly. "Nicki? Faree?"

"Whatever, he's not invited."

"But you said..."

"You dating him?"

"No, Nicki! He's a good friend."

"So yawl friends? That's cute."

"Nicki."

"Whatever, Candi."

She stood up with his help and walked out the living room. She looked back towards Safaree and looked at him and raised an eyebrow as to why he wasn't following behind her. He smirked then got up and followed behind her.

"I don't know what yawl got going on, but I hope you not bringing drama to my Baby's Shower, Can man."

"I'm not.. He's cool."

"He isn't and if you bring him, you aren't invited either."

Nicki stated coldly pulling Safaree behind her. He turned into the room behind her. She pushed the door closed and began stripping down to change so they could go to dinner for Part two of Welcome Home Alana. Safaree walked into the closet and grabbed her dress with the matching flats. He laid them on the bed and watched as she rubbed coca butter onto her stomach to keep them from appearing dark.

"I can't believe her. Inviting him when he tried to take half of everything I owned like I owed him."

"Kind of Shady.

"What?"

"Nothing."

He said putting on a small smile for her. She held out the lotion to him and turned around. "Don't forget my ass. Rub it down good."

"Hm."

"Hurry up!"

"We're already late."

"So that doesn't mean leave them waiting!"

"You can lotion your own ashy ass."

He stated staring into the back of her head. She groaned throwing her head back. She turned sideways to look at him and smiled feeling his warm hands rub the lotion into her skin. She placed her hands on the bed and watched as he massaged under the cuff her ass then down her thighs and back up to her ass. They both stared into each other's face as he finished up at the top. He kissed her left cheek then her right. She pushed his face back then stepped over his lap.

"Later, let's go, Faree!"

He smirked then walked out leaving her to get dressed. Her mouth dropped then she walked to the door and shouted for him. She scolded seeing his head pop out of Alana's room. He chuckled then disappeared back into the room and shut the door.

"Get back in here & help me!"

Nicki shifted side to side as tried to get comfortable in Safaree's lap. He pushed her up a little to fix himself. She smirked feeling his hard on pressed against her middle. He raised an eyebrow at her and she giggled rotating in his lap again. He popped her arm and leaned forward whispering in her ear.

"Stop man."

"This is fun."

"You play too much, knowing I can't push you off." She smiled knowing her mom and his mom would go off if he pushed her. They were all sitting in chairs at the table in the party hall room where her dinner was being held. Her mom and his mom sat on the table on either side of them. Nicki had been up under him all night and wouldn't let him go ride his bike with his guys, so he was kind of in his feelings but she was slowly changing that. "Nicki."

"Onika, stop whatever you're doing to that boy."

"I'm not doing anything. He's just being dramatic."

"No, Ma could you tell your daughter to sit in her own chair."

"Nooooo, stop Faree! I want to sit here."

"Onika."

"I want to sit here." She frowned towards her mother, who cracked a smile. Nicki leaned back into him and put his arms around her as she buried her face into his neck and whispered against his skin and suck on his neck. He closed his eyes and fought the sensational feeling going through his body. "Faree don't be mean to your fiancé."

"Can we play some music and games?"

"Yeah, dinner won't be served for another hour and most of everyone is here besides Candi and her date and Draya."

Safaree's eyes popped open and Nicki sat up looking Lauren's way. Lauren leaned back in her chair as they both looked her way. Then Safaree chuckled nervously and rubbed the back of his neck. Nicki darted her eyes towards him, knowing that chuckle anytime it came from him meant he did something wrong. She stood up and walked towards the exit with him following close behind.

"We'll be back, start without us."

As soon as they stepped out and closed the door, Nicki slapped him across the face. She paced back and forth trying to calm down, but the heat was rising inside her from the anger.

"Nic, hear me out."

"You promised."

"She called me..."

"Why? Huh?"

"To talk.."

"About what? Spit it out! I don't even understand why you took the call?"

"I was at work when I got the call, but Knico wanted to see me."

"You're so stupid! That's just a way for her to see you!"

He stood quietly now thinking about it. He chuckled again as Draya and two little boys walked up to them. Nicki stepped back into him as she glared at her. Nicki grabbed his arm and pulled him into the room where everyone was dancing. He waved her into the room and she followed behind them. Nicki looked back and rolled her eyes as she made her way over to Lauren.

"Why didn't you tell me before hand?"

"I made a promise..."

"With Safaree?"

"No, Candi."

"What?"

Nicki turned to see Candi and Wayne coming in hand in hand. The sight made her want to throw up. She swallowed hard as they made eye contact and she walked towards them. Safaree stood back and waited for things to turn for the worse.

"Whats this? Huh?"

"Nicki, I can explain!"

"Explain.. I'm Listening cause if you confirm..."

"Nicki, Wayne & I are married."

Candi blurted out causing the room to grow silent. The wind hit hard against Nicki's chest as gravity betrayed her feet. She dropped to the floor on her knees and began crying. Safaree rushed to her side and rubbed her back as he whispered into her ear to calm her. She shook her head then grabbed his hand after nodding. The dinner hadn't started and it was over already.

"I'm a drive her home and we'll be back to finish celebrating, sorry."

Safaree stated helping Nicki to her feet then they began walking out the door as the kids started playing when the little boy who came with Draya came up to them and pulled on Safaree's pants leg. Safaree smiled then dapped him.

"Knico, I'll be back later son. Alright?"

"Okay."

He frowned as he watched Safaree leave the party. Safaree shruuged then placed his arm around him and pulled him out the door towards the car. Nicki sat in the car quiet as Safaree and Knico talked and talked.

"Pop, I got a little brother.. He's one in a have."

"It's one and a half."

"Oh, but yeah.. He don't really talk much just makes baby noise."

"Oh, your Dad had..."

"No, mommy had him after you guys break up."

He confessed placing his toy in the window. He titled his head when he heard Nicki gasp then a long winded noise escaped her. Safaree didn't even turn look at her because they both knew why. In that moment, you couldn't tell who was more angry. Nicki quickly got out of the car and rushed towards the house.

"Nicki.. Calm down."

"Today couldn't get any worse."

"Knico go to that room over there and go in the closet and there's some toys."

"Yay!"

"She had your baby!"

"I know."

"You knew?"

"I just found out with you!"

"You knew she was coming.. Why to my baby..."

"I didn't invite her to this! That was Candi! She just told me this morning that she wanted to tell me something."

"I'm not going back. Let me call my mom."

She left out the room and headed towards their bedroom. He turned away and picked up his phone and dialed Draya. She didn't answer none of his calls, so he called Candi who instantly answered.

"Faree? You guys okay?"

"We good, is Draya still there?"

"No, she left right behind you guys."

"Shit."

"She had your baby, you know?"

"Yeah, I just found out."

"He's so cute.. Looks just like you but light skin."

"Wow, why you all buddy buddy with them? You married Wayne just.."

"Draya is cool, I felt bad for her... You did her wrong, but Nicki's my girl and she gets what she wants. As far as Wayne, he came to me and we connected that's just it. I'm not here to hurt Nicki, but I'm not going to fuck up a good thing because of her."

Candi stated sadly. He nodded slowly thinking of what she said. He looked towards the door when there came a rapping at the door. He slowly made his way over as he hung up on a quiet Candi. He pulled the door open to see Draya and his light skin twin. She avoided his eyes as she looked around for Knico.

"Um, you could've told me you were taking him..."

"He's mine."

"Who? Oh.."

"Is he?"

"No, he's mine. You didn't want us."

"Draya.. He.."

"Safaree, what is she doing here?"

"I just came to get my son. I'm leaving."

"He deserves to have me in his life."

"You should've thought about that before you cheated on me with Miss Ass on her shoulder."

"Look, bitch..."

"Nicki." Safaree sternly spoke up before she got started. She looked upside his head and rolled her eyes. She placed her hand on his back and the other one on her stomach. "Draya, can I hold him? You didn't even allow me to be there?"

"You were too busy being her muse to even notice me. Just can you send Knico, so I can go."

"Knico.. Come on."

Nicki shouted staring at the baby in her arms. He looked like Safaree and that was no lie. He had his big head, nose, beady eyes and full lips. He was laid in Draya's arms holding tight to her breast as he stared at them. Knico came into view and smiled at his mother before hugging Safaree's leg.

"Come on, Baby.. Dylan is waiting on us at home."

"Draya, seriously son?"

"This isn't the time. I'll call you or whatever."

She spoke over her shoulder as she walked down the driveway. He looked down at Nicki who was crying. He stepped in and wrapped his arms around her. He shut the door with his foot and sighed into her hair.

"I'm sorry."

"Nicki?"

"I broke your family up just to have my own.. Now he won't have a dad because of me."

"No, baby... Don't blame yourself for this. I did this, but I don't regret being with you at all... I should've been careful."

"We should've been.."

"We'll get through this.. Don't cry alright."

"Okay."

He kissed her lips then her cheeks. She smiled small then kissed him back deeply. He rubbed her stomach and kissed her lips again. She lifted her head and grabbed his face. She smiled and kissed him deeply with her tongue massaging the inside of his mouth. He picked her up bridal style and sat her on the kitchen counter as they made out. Today, had been full of too many surprises for the both of them.

All Good

Febrauary 28

Nicki looked up at the clock as she pulled the lap top onto the counter top and sat in front of it. She looked over the other side for her cup of olives and frowned at them being on the other side of the kitchen. She stood up and as quickly as she could walked over to the other side of the kitchen to retrieve her olives when she heard the now familiar sound of the Skype ringer. She increased her walking speed and gliding across the screen and clicked answer while trying to catch her breath as she sat down in front watching him work out in the hotel, he was staying at.

"Nic, what you doing yo?"

"I had to get my olives."

"Alright, what you doing, baby?"

"I miss you, you should come home."

"Nicki, you tell me this every day.. I'm trying to handle business out here."

"I know." She pouted staring into the screen as he walked up to the screen with a hard on. She licked her lips then blushed hard as she watched his face appear with a frown on it. "I'm sorry."

"You frustrate me yo, for real." He laughed as she put on a fake pout then began laughing. She had took a picture of herself in the mirror naked to show him her belly and to tell him that Alana missed him, but he had enjoyed it a little too much. "I zoomed in to treasure."

"Faree, stop being nasty."

"The freak in me is missing you a lot."

"He better calm down because i don't want to have to fuck you up."

"Man, he got a friend."

He said waving his hand. Nicki smirked as she rubbed over her seven month stomach. She looked into the camera to see him staring down at his phone. He kept his eyes on the screen then slowly shrugged before grabbing something, which she quickly found out was a pen and a stack of sticky notes. He glanced between the phone and sticky note as he wrote something down. He looked up then pulled the sticky note off and showed it to her. She smiled then put her fingers together and made a heart shape.

"I love you too."

"Candi told me you guys are going out today." He said knowingly then looked her over as she sat smiling with a nervous grin knowing she had been snitched on. "Keep it up."

"That's not fair, you just believe her!"

"Nicki, I know you and that sounds just like you! You got two to three months left and you can eat and dress however you want. You complain all day about your feet hurting and still wear heels when I'm not around and expect me to come home and rub your dogs."

"Faree, you love my feet and it was for a special occasion!"

"Going baby shopping isn't.."

"It is!" She interrupted defensively. This is our first baby and he says buying her stuff isn't special enough for heels. She frowned deeply causing her eyebrows to furrow.

"Don't get upset, I'm sorry.. No heels, Nicki and no seafood."

"Alright."

"Go have fun and kiss Alana for me."

"Bye."

"Nic?" She looked up in to the camera and smirked at his lips being puckered into the screen, she leaned forward and kissed the screen. "Love you."

"I know, hurry home."

March 2

Safaree pulled Nicki out of her sleep and swooped her up in his arms. He liked the weight she put on and it made him feel good to carry her and their child as one. She wrapped her arms around his neck and kissed his jaw after his familiar scent tickled her nose. He always smelt good to her and the cologne he wore only made it better. He placed her on the guest bedroom bed while he looked for her sleeping clothes. He didn't too much care for the three bedroom house that Nicki finally pursaded him to move in with her. He pulled open the closet and grabbed a blue onesie then threw it on the bed next to Nicki's sleeping body. He pulled her leggings down as she pulled each one of her legs up as he took them off. He slipped her foot into them and pulled it up over her waist. Safaree pulled her shirt open exposing her bare breast and stood over her staring at them. Nicki frowned at the coldness across her chest and pushed her hand in his face, knowing what he was doing.

"Faree!"

He chuckled then pulled her close to him and hugged her to keep the cold off her chest. He pulled her arms out of the shirt then pulled the onesie up and zipped it quickly over her body. He started to pick her up, but she crawled into the bed and curled up with the pregnancy pillow being pulled between her legs. He frowned then got into the bed on the other side and after cutting the light outs. He held her as she slept, but couldn't fall asleep himself. He was thinking and planning for the morning when she woke up. 

Nicki frowned when she woke up in the blue onesie she hated. She pushed up off the bed and twisted up at the smell of breakfast. She walked as fast as she could across the room and pulled the door open to the living room full of pink and gold balloons and decorations. She looked at her clock on the top of the shelf to read seven fifteen. She then jumped as she heard awes coming from the patio. Her mother, his mother, her friends and cousins came rushing to her. She frowned at them all being dressed in white with pink aprons.

"What are you guys doing here?"

"Safaree invite us." Her mother smiled rubbing her belly. Alana began moving around and placing her small fist where ever her grandmother's hand went. "You don't seem excited to see us like he expected."

"No, I was a little scared when you guys walked in but I'm happy to see yous guys."

"Good, because this is your Breakfast Baby Shower."

"Huh?"

"Safaree's idea. Part one of welcome home Alana."

"Where is he?"

"Riding his bike. He organized this part just for us ladies. So go sit and we'll bring you some things."

The women sat around Nicki as she stuff her face with strawberries covered in chocolate. Something Safaree wouldn't let her eat but once or twice every two weeks. He made her stick to her diet that the doctor told her she should follow for a healthy baby and a natural birth. She looked like a little kid in the candy store when they brought out all the goodies, but first she had to eat atleast two beef sausages and some wheat toast with sunny side up eggs.

"So what type of birthing are you doing?"

"Natural."

"That's what you say now until you feel that pain."

"What if things come up are you prepared for a C-section?"

"Yes, me and Faree have looked it up and figured out everything even though he thinks it would be better to have a water birth."

"So did you guys agree on the natural birth or you Nicki'd him into agreeing?"

She cracked a smile at Candi and they knew the answer. Safaree was weak for her pouts and batted eyelashes. She put more chocolate into her mouth as the women talked about the beauty of giving and holding life. She zoned out into her own day dream:

Mommy, I'm pretty just like you and a goofy mess just like daddy. When you see me, you'll cry because I'm beautiful like Granny and a fighter like Uncle Cai was. You'll smile because you did it and daddy will be right by your side like he promised G-Daddy when he got clean and talked him for the first time. That's our secret.

Nicki blinked then focused in on her cousin, Miracle who was upright against her chair and making pushing and breathing noise as if she was having a baby right in the chair. Nicki frowned up then her eyes grew wide as threw money over Nic's head. They all laughed as she clutched her hand over her heart then smiled at the one she picked up with it's a girl and her face on th bill. It was just a sticker, but it was the cutest and it was pink.

"Let's talk about marriage." Carol chimed in. Nicki looked down at her now chocolate covered fingers. She began to wipe them on the pink napkin then looked up to meet her mother's gaze on her. "Have you guys..."

"No, we're comfortable with and like how we are."

"We? Or You?" Her mother asked giving her a stern over look. The truth was, they hadn't talked about marriage at all since getting together, but she knew she wanted to be his wife. Did he feel the same? Did he want to make her his wife? She silently began crying at the thought of him not even considering it. The women crowded around her and held her trying to soothe her and left the conversation at that.

Around lunch time, for Alana anyways, Safaree came back with the smell of outside, gas and rubber burning on him. His friend, Jay, following behind him as they talked about the events that happen today. He placed his helmet on the table in the living room where all the decorations and balloons sat on the table in a neat pile. He motioned for Jay to sit as he checked the place out and looked for Nicki. She looked towards the door with a bowl of salad and chicken breast in front of her. He smiled seeing her but she didn't smile back like she usually did. Alarm one. He walked over to her and placed a kiss on her moving lips, but she didn't respond back like she normally did. Alarm two. He looked at her and she looked swiftly at him before planting her eyes back on the TV. Alarm three. He walked out the room and over to his friend that was seated on the sofa.

"Yo, I got to handle some things, I'll hit you later."

"Alright, Be easy." 

Jay let himself out as Safaree went back to the room with Nicki, who was now laying on her side watching TV not even acknowledging that he in the same room with her. He walked over to her and rubbed her stomach that egan moving around because of Alana. She smiled a little, but it quickly went away when their eyes connected.

"Wassup, yo?"

"Nothing.."

"Nic, who you lying to?"

"It's nothing."

"It's something, got you acting funny and shit."

"Don't cuss at me." Was all she said before her water works spilled over onto her cheeks. He sighed then crawled over her and laid  close to her as he could. He kissed away her tears then grabbed her hand and kissed the palm of it as her breathing grew quiet.

"Talk to me."

"Would you marry me?"

"Why?"

"Answer me."

"Of course."

"Why?"

"Answer me first."

"Because I want to know."

"I will marry you, we will be getting married when the time is right."

"When...?"

"I'll let you know, don't worry."

She smiled then pulled him close and kissed him passionately. He rubbed her belly as the kiss got heated up with in minutes. He put his hands down under her blanket and up her gown that she had changed into after most of the party left. Nicki opened for him then moaned into his parted lips. He rubbed his finger over her pearl as she clamped her legs closed tightly over his hand. He pulled the blanket off her lap when he felt the warm, sticky cum on his fingers. She watched him as he went down and cleaned her up.

"We good?"

"Yes."

"You sure?"

"Yes."

"Good."

He swooped her up and carried her to their bedroom. He laid her down and pampered her until she fell asleep.

March 7

Nicki frowned at the pain in her stomach. She quietly talked to herself as she sat in a chair in the mall. I should've just let Faree come with me like he wanted to. She had been having cramps in her side and lower stomach that morning, but she wouldn't tell him and she thought she could handle coming to the mall by herself, but it was looking like a different story as the pain slowly rippled threw her body. She looked up when she heard the familiar fatherly tone that took over his voice when she was about to be scolded, but their eyes met and he instantly pulled her close.

"I knew you couldn't handle this by yourself. I don't know why you don't tell me when you are in pain? You know I can tell."

"Cause I didn't want you to worry and think I couldn't do a little shopping on my own."

"Nic, you can't keep trying to do everything alone."

"I know, but since you're here could you rub my tummy?" She smiled as she relaxed on the bench and let him rub the pain away. They both laughed when she let out a loud fart. He shook his head at it being gas that was causing her pain. "I stink."

"That's no lie."

"Faree."

"But I love you through all your funk."

She lifted her head up and kissed him. She pushed up and stood to her feet as she let another one slip. She frowned feeling shame and embarrassed even though it was only him and her in the part of the mall. He walked behind her and continue to massage the gas out of her stomach until they could make it to the house and he could give her something for her upset stomach. They walked around the mall a good thirteen minutes before Nicki wanted to go, so he picked her up and carried her to the car. A woman awed as they passed her and rubbed Nicki's belly. Nicki frowned feeling like a pet as the woman awed her and asked her what she was having.

"You two are gorgeous together, married?"

Nicki sadly shook her head to the woman's question. Safaree smiled an awkward smile then continued towards the car. He pulled the door open and it flew up then placed Nicki down in the car and squatter next to her. She placed her hand on his chest and pouted at the smirk on his face.

"Nicki, stop... I told you."

"I know."

"Act like it."

"No, you do it."

"Later."

He stated sternly to let her know that the conservation was over. He stood up and closed the door then made his way over to his side of the car and got in. He closed his door swiftly after putting on his seatbelt and looked over at Nicki, who was staring out of her window. He grabbed her face and stared into her eyes as she stared back. He leaned forward and rubbed his lips against her.

"Later. I promise."

He kissed her and she kissed back. He pulled away and headed towards her parents house. They were having Sunday dinner with his people and her people just to catch up with everyone and what's going on in their life if they shared. Of course, Nicki and Faree were open books right now because of Nic's emotions. They pulled up to the house and he helped her to the door with his hand on her lower back and her hand in his other hand. His mother opened the door with a big smile and hug for them both. Carol quickly showed her face then hid it behind a blind fold over Nic's eyes. Nicki frowned not liking surprises especially when her whole family knew and she didn't.

"Mommy?"

"Help her inside, Faree, it's all set."

"Alright."

Nicki jumped a little feeling her feet leave the ground. She wrapped her arms around his neck and pulled herself close. She suddenly felt a soft cushion against her back side and knew she was being sat down. He pulled back then stood in front of her with both their families behind him. He sighed then sighed a few more times looking her over.

"Boy, do it! No cold feet now!"

"My feet are warm, a coon nervous."

"I'll do it!"

Elijah, his Godson, shouted excitedly. Nicki grabbed at her long ponytail becoming nervous as she sat with her eyes still covered. He laughed with everyone else. Nicki wasn't amused and was growing impatient.

"Faree!"

"Okay." He replied quickly before getting on one knee in front of her. He scooted between her legs and kissed her stomach. "Remember our secret Alana? You didn't tell mommy? Good." 

They all laughed and awed as her little hand pressed into the spot where his lips had been. Nicki was all smiles as she listened to the happy room. She heard Safaree sigh then felt his hands moving around in her lap then one quickly reached up to her blind fold. He leaned into her and whispered.

"I love you no matter what."

He pulled the blindfold down and there before her was her family, his family and a big sign in cursive with a small hand print at the end. Nicki smiled huge reading "Onika will you marry me?" and "Say yes, Mommy - Alana" in a smaller font but still big enough to see. Nicki looked down into the pink box that held a nice size diamond ring in it that he pulled out the box. He grabbed her hand and looked up at her.

"We got history, you know this. We've been friends too long, I've enjoyed being your man now it's time for me to step it up and move into the next stage of our life and be your husband and Alana's father, so... Will you marry me?"

"Yes! Why wouldn't i?"

She sequealed falling into his leg as she placed her lips on his and suffocated him with her passionate kiss. He tried to pull away, but got lost in the heat of things as everyone clapped and awed. Nicki pulled back and looked at the confused look on his face as he tasted his lips.

"Damn, Nic, what was that?"

"I'm happy."

"I'm glad you two finally got it together."

"Me too. I was so sick of them in high school."

"High School?"

They both asked in unison. Their mothers nodded with smiles on their faces. Mama Carol tapped her nose as Mama Shirley winked then they walked off guiding everyone to the dining area to eat and celebrate.

Over It All

Nicki crawled in the bed with Safaree as he sat up reading an email about natural birth. Nicki wanted him to be there throughout the birth and to know what was going on. Nicki chuckled thinking about how he came in the room one night while she was responding to emails and such and began rubbing her vagina causing her to buss. He cleaned it up with his tongue then looked up at her with the saddest eyes. She asked him what was wrong and all he said was sorry. She later found out he had read about how her vagina would open up ten centimeters and that the baby's head was actually wider than that and all the pain she would go through. She assured him that she would be alright.

"What you laughing for?"

"At you."

"I know you not still laughing at me..."

"Yep, that was so cute and felt so good."

"You just laid there letting me rub it too."

"Why stop you when you won't touch me any other time?"

"You did taste sweet."

She smirked as she looked into his lap as he replied to a text saying that he missed someone too and that they should hang out soon. She looked up and over at him as he placed his phone down and began reading again. Nicki kept staring at him until he looked her way. He smiled at her and she squinted back.

"What?"

"Who were you texting?"

"When?"

"Safaree don't play with me."

"I'm not... I just replied to like three messages."

"Who do you miss and trying to go see?"

"Oh, umm.... Draya."

"Really? You still talking to her?"

"Yeah, she's my friend..."

"No she isn't! She's your ex! Cut her off, now!"

"What? Yo, chill out!"

"Don't tell me to chill out, you fucking chill out!"

"I'm not cutting her off, she's just a friend."

"Who you loved? Who's to say you won't fall back..."

"Nicki, she is just a friend. What..."

"I was just a friend too."

"I see where this is headed and I'm not going there with you. Chill out."

"Fuck it, I'm done."

"Done? What?"

"You're always talking to her! I saw your texts to her and her replies. It's like you're here with me and dating her."

"Here with you? THIS was your call until your divorce was final! Don't try and put how this relationship is on me."

"I'm not, but you can't talk to other girls either."

"I'm.... Go to sleep Nicki."

"You what?"

"Nothing, go to sleep yo."

"You don't tell me what to do Safaree."

He put his laptop on his night stand then turned over with his back to her. She pouted then laid next to him and wrapped her arms around him. He turned back around to face her and wrapped his arms around her neck and stared into her big slanted eyes.

"Look, I'll cut back on the texts to her, but I'm not cutting her off and you can't keep trying to keep me at a distance then getting mad when I move on."

"I know and no, Faree.. It's us or her."

"What?!" He shouted sitting up and snatching away from her. He stepped out of the bed and stood against the side of it looking at her with confusion in his eyes as she sat calmly against the head board. "What the fuck you just say?"

"Us or Her?"

"Us? What the fuck you mean "us"?"

"Alana and I."

"WHAT YO?" He screamed the bass in his voice almost echoing in the condo bedroom. He chuckled then walked out the room. He was extremely pissed because she had brought their child into a petty argument. He picked up his phone and dialed a number as he grabbed his workout bag. "Yo, I'm bout to come through."

"Faree."

"You.." He pointed a finger at her as he held the bag in his hand. "Don't talk to me. I'll be back."

"Faree!"

"Yo, I'm sorry, but I really need to get in the gym."

"FAREE!"

"Nic, I'm not in the mood for your shit anymore."

"I'm sorry, don't go please."

"You always sorry after you say some fucked up shit, but I'm not forgiving you this time. Go to sleep and I'll see Alana in the morning."

She frowned as he walked out the door with his bag in hand and phone on his ear. She walked to the door and watched him get on the elevator. She walked back in and closed the door then made her way back to the bedroom. She grabbed her phone and texted him. She knew he wouldn't reply, but he had to know she was sorry. She stepped up on the step stool and got into the bed and laid awake, waiting and hoping he'd come back in the next hour. She grabbed the remote and turned on the TV. She pulled his pillow close and watched TV and the door.

He pulled up to Vak's gym and Lauren was sitting in the car waiting on Vak. She rolled down her window seeing him alone. He looked her way, but continued inside the building. She looked back and forth then rolled the window up, grabbed the keys and got out. He went into the punching bag area where Vak stood waiting for him. He dropped his bag, bent over and grabbed his boxing gloves. He looked at his phone ringing again and became even more angry at it being her again. He was over it and her, mostly.

"Wassup, bruh? It's late."

"I know, but Nic really just pissed me off yo."

"What happen, now? Yawl be arguing a lot lately."

"Just these passed two weeks. It's like, she blaming me for her divorce or something." He stated punching the bag a good few times causing it to hit Vak's body. "But just now, she got mad about me still talking to Draya. Acting like I'm cheating on her."

"Nicki wilding, what she say?"

"Telling me to cut her off. I just told her I wasn't and that Draya is just a friend. I haven't even seen her since me and Nic trying to do this, whatever this is."

"Yawl need to really talk, bruh."

"Nah, she want to bring my kid in this, talking bout it's her and Alana or Draya? You know, I wasn't mad until she said that. I thought she was talking bout me and her when she said us or her....." He began beating into the bag as his tears came down. He stopped and held the bag as he hit it a few more times.

"SB, come on. You know she was just upset."

"That's low."

Lauren sighed standing outside of the door listening. She pulled out her phone and dialed her. She answered on the first ring in a small voice.

"Nicki, seriously?"

"I know, I said I was sorry! I didn't mean it!"

"You are really messed up for that."

"I know, I know! He there still?"

"Yeah, he's beating the life out of this bag."

"I'm on my way, don't tell him."

"He's going to kill you. You know he doesn't want you driving."

"I know, but I want to work it out."

"Hurry up, it's a Bash Nicki Party going on."

Lauren laughed hearing Nicki chuckle. They talked as Nicki got dressed and made her way to the gym. In all of twenty minutes after thirty minutes of her getting dressed she was at the gym. She walked into the gym and over to the the punching bag area where Safaree was. She walked over to him and stood off to the side as Vak left them to stand by Lauren's side. Nicki watched him at first not saying a word just watching him. Her presence made him mad and he began punching the bag even harder.

"Faree, stop!"

"Nicki, leave."

"I'm sorry, okay. Can you calm down and listen to me."

"I can hear."

"Faree..."

"What?" He asked stopping the bag with his fist. He pulled off the gloves and threw them in his bag. She stood closer to him as he searched his bag for his water and muscle relaxer. "Talk man."

"I admit, I was trying to hurt you, but it hurts when you talk to her and then you said you wouldn't stop talking to her."

"You really hit me in the heart with that shit. Don't bring my kid into our arguments."

"Okay, you forgive me."

"No. As far as Draya goes.... I'll dead it for my baby not you." He looked down at her small frame as she smiled. "Whatever."

"Forgive me, I don't want..."

"I'm not mad, just not ready to forgive you. You're fucked up for saying that."

"I know, but I was mad."

"Why? I don't understand why me talking to Draya.... Gets you so worked up."

"Because you were going to marry her. You loved her and plus, I'm your girl now. You can talk to me."

"My girl? When..."

"Tonight. I can't imagine myself wanting to fuck and fuck someone up at the same time like you or loving someone other than you. Be my boyfriend?" She smiled. "Please."

"No."

"What?"

"After I forgive you, we'll try again."

He laughed getting up and grabbing his bag. He wrapped his arm around her neck and kissed her cheek. She grabbed his hand and placed it on her stomach as Alana moved around. She pulled him behind her as she grabbed his bag from his shoulder with her free hand. He stepped behind her and followed her out of the door. He dead faced the back of her head as her car came into view.

"Lauren drive Nic's car to your place and I'll come pick it up tomorrow."

"Alright, you guys good?"

"We cool, sorry to wake you guys."

"You fine, bruh. Go put your girls to bed."

He nodded and helped Nicki into the car. He looked at her smiling sheeplike knowing he was going to say something, but he just smirked back. He closed the door and went around and got in. He pulled out of the lot behind their friends then looked over at her sound asleep. He rubbed her stomach then grabbed her hand and held. She groaned at the feeling of Alana moving around. He placed his hand back on her stomach and she placed hers over his, so that he wouldn't move it.

Safaree looked out the garage window as he worked on a picture that he was going to hang in their bedroom. Nicki had made it her business to up size their home and he had no say in it besides selling his condo. So they both were now in their feelings as they both separated and Nicki went home. He was now thinking about the fights they had been having for the passed month and how she would get mad anytime he didn't agree with her. He didn't know what was wrong with her, but he wanted to know and she wouldn't say anything just get quiet. He looked down at the picture and pulled out a light blue color pencil and colored in the space he missed then grabbed a black fine pen and wrote his signature at the bottom. It was a picture of of him and Nicki standing on the beach and he had kissed her stomach and watched Alana's little feet and hand appear. He drew that moment on the paper and smiled at the drawing coming out perfect. He grabbed his phone and entered his code for someone trying to enter the gate to the condos.

He looked outside the garage window which was right across from the condo and watched as Nicki got out of her car. He shrugged then went back and sat down admiring his work. He pulled open his artwork folder and put in the file cabinet with the other ones. He stood up and pushed the chair underneath the desk when he felt her arms wrap around him and she sighed heavily. He could tell she was exhausted by the long groan that came right after. He lifted his arm and pulled her around with his other one. She stepped around with her face in a frown with her eyebrows furrowed. He looked confused as to why her face was screwed up until he noticed Draya standing behind her. 

“What’s going?”

“I just came over to see you when Nicki showed up. I’ll just go…”

“No, you stay, Faree.. I’ll see you later.”

He grabbed a hold of her hand and pulled her back towards him. She looked up at him and leaned into him. He leaned down and kissed her cheek then looked over at Draya who was smiling. She walked over into his now open arms and hugged him tight. 

“I missed you, why haven’t we talked since…”

“I called you over to talk to you and Nicki.” He motioned for her to sit in the chair across from him and Nicki. Nicki got comfortable in his lap. He laid his head on her shoulder as her ass rubbed up against his now semi-erect penis. She smirked feeling it and went to move, but he held her down before continuing. "Look, Draya... Um, you're a good friend, but it's best we don't talk at all because I'm trying to build my family and in order to keep the peace with my girl.. It's best to cut off our relationship."

He looked over at her as she sat now frowned up. She stood up and shrugged her shoulders. 

"I guess, you guys have a great life or whatever."

"Draya..."

"No, Fareekinz... I'm done being embarrassed by you and your actions. You win, Nicki. If you wanted to hurt me more than once, then you've accomplished it and as for you Safaree, you've always been in love with her and her the same. I'm just dumb, to even fall for someone like you."

She let out as the tears rolled down her cheeks.

"I now don't regret my decision."

"What?" He asked rubbing his hands over Nicki's thighs. "What decision?"

"That isn't important is it now?"

She stated grabbing her purse and walking out of the garage door. He helped Nicki up and walked out behind Draya who was sitting in her car. She pulled the door closed and locked it. She pulled out of the lot and down the small road towards the exit. He went to his car and saw a piece of baby with a sticky on it. He picked it up and saw it was an ultrasound picture of a baby that said boy. He looked in the direction that Draya sped off in. He chuckled feeling a bit angry with himself. It was from a year ago when they were together by the date. Nicki walked over to him and looked down at the paper in his hand then back up to him. She reached out for his arm and pulled on it causing him to look at her with a wry smile on his face.

"You okay?"

"Better than ever."

He answered sadly with a hint of sarcasm. She grabbed the paper out of his hand and frowned deeply looking over it.

"This her?"

"Yeah."

"Yours?"

"Yeah."

"What? How come you..."

"That was her decision that she was happy about."

He stated leaving her there to put the two together. She twisted her up then pushed them to the side as she thought about it. She still didn't get it, but made her way up to the condo to cheer him up. She walked into the condo and went into the bedroom, but he was in the shower. She peeled off her clothes and walked into the bathroom and stepped into the shower. He moved over towards the side of the shower and let her stand in front of him as the water beat his back. His hand rested against the wall and the other beside his side. She grabbed his ass and pulled him close. He chuckled as puckered her lips like he did her when she was upset. He pecked her lips and she deepened it. He wrapped his arms around her and picked her up in his arms.

Nicki placed her hand on the side of his face as he lay staring down at her breast that were leaking milk as he squeezed it wanting to taste it. She watched him pull her tit out of her tank and licked the milk off of it. She laughed at the look on his face as if he had found the fountain of youth. He pulled it back into his mouth and sucked on it. She squealed as he coughed after the milk squirted down his throat.

"Faree, really?"

"What? It tasted sweet."

"Save some for Alana."

"I might, we might have to trade milk."

"Move, thirsty freak."

She giggle as she pulled her tit back into her tank. She laughed as he put his hand on her boob then looked down at her stomach.

"Tell your mom, you ain't selfish like her. You'll share with me."

"Get off me."

She sat up on the sofa watching a few movies until Safaree came in messing with her breast. She looked up into the TV as another episode of I Didn't Know I Was Pregnant came on. She lifted her hand up and slapped his hand down off her breast again. He laughed then stood up and moved in front of her.

"What?"

"Are you going to buy me some chocolates and flowers for Valentine's Day?"

She laughed at the serious look on his face after asking her the question. She put her hand on his leg and pushed him to the side. He moved over to the right then moved back in front of her.

"Faree!"

"I asked a question."

"Sure as long as you buy me a big hummer and a motorcycle."

"Naw."

"Then naw, you aren't getting any chocolate or flowers."

"I don't care."

He said snapping his fingers in her face and walking off. He looked down at his phone and was taken back by who was calling. He looked back over his shoulder towards Nicki then answered the phone.

"Hey, Wassup?"

"Hi, thought you didn't want anything to do with me."

"Draya, it's not that, but Nicki and I trying to build a family...."

"The family we should've been building, but you were to busy getting your dick wet with her."

"I'm so..."

"It doesn't matter now, what do you want?"

"What happen to my son? Why did you do it?"

"I aborted him when I realized you were sleeping with her behind my back."

"What? Why over that? Things could've..."

"Could it have, Safaree?"

"Stop cutting me off." He stated stepping outside the condo and into the hallway. "And yes it could have."

"No, it couldn't have! You were in love with her and still are. You'd choose her over me any day! Stop trying to play me and yourself!"

"Draya, I'm sorry."

"How long were you guys cheating on us?"

"Hmm."

"Don't act deaf now."

"Two years..."

"The entire time we dated." She chuckled. "Bye, I hope you guys have a nice life."

She hung up before he could talk. He turned to see Nicki standing in the hallway. She frowned watching him walk up on her. She stepped back inside and watched him move into the livingroom.

"Just can't stop talking to her."

"Nicki, not right now."

"When then Safaree? Huh?"

"It's not that serious man... Okay."

"You said you weren't talking to her anymore, you liar."

"Nicki, I needed to know, okay. My last time contacting her ever, chill."

"Chill? You always go back on your word or do something I don't like and want me to chill. Fuck you!"

"You getting worked up for nothing."

"My boyfriend talking..."

"Nicki, dammit... I'm over this! Over this all. I don't want to deal with bullshit everytime I talk to another bitch. She aborted my son, I think I have a right to know why and the fact she knew about us, got me feeling like shit. So just chill out."

She grabbed her purse and walked out of the door. He shrugged not in the mood to chase after her. They were both hurting from the passed and this new relationship they were trying to build around their baby and work wasn't working only causing them stressed. They both were over the other, but didn't want to be with anyone else but each other. He stood and went after her knowing she went to the building top garden to fix things before everything went left.
