Jelani jogged swiftly up to the front door. He was sure nobody else was home, he had been watching the house for a good hour and a half. Like a predator stalking it's prey. Before Drake had chance to close the door, Jelani shoved his foot in it to stop it from shutting.
"Dude, what the fuck?!" Drake argued as he tried to shove the stranger back out. But he was no match for this guy. Safaree admittedly was a struggle, but Jelani was something else. He felt helpless as he was rammed back into his own house and pinned against the wall with intense force.
"I hear you been messin' with my baby sister! Then I hear you fuckin' laid your hands on her, that right boy?!" He sounded crazed but calm and as he was only inches away from Drake's face it kind of freaked him out a little bit.
"What the fuck are you talkin' 'bout? Damn crazy ass nigga!!" He knew he probably shouldn't have answered back like that. Not to mention acting like he didn't know who Jelani was talking about. He tightened his grip around Drake's shirt and shoved him harder into the wall, the veins in his neck looked as though they were about to pop out and his eyes had a deranged look in them.
"I'm not 'bout to stand here and listen to yo' lame ass excuses! But if you go anywhere near her again..." He sucked air through his teeth before gritting them and talking again. "...You won't live to see another day! Got it?!" Drake was hesitant to nod but the force behind Jelani's grip on him increased causing him to nod ferociously. He let go of him an watched him fall into a heap on the floor gasping for breath. "You pathetic piece of shit!" He shook his head as stepped over him and left as if nothing had happened.
***
Danika was stood looking out of the front window. It was almost dark. "Where the hell are you Lani?" She whispered to herself as she felt someone stood next to her.
"He'll be here soon, don't you start worrying too! Onika's sat bouncing her knee waiting on him!" Mama Carol laughed as she put her arm around her. "Thank you for doing all of this for her, we all really appreciate it." Danika smiled at her.
"It's really no problem! I love doing stuff like this! Besides I'm really happy for Nic, she's gon' be a great Mom." She nodded her head in Nicki's direction, she was sat with everyone in the lounge room playing with Caiah. Mama Carol sighed, she still couldn't believe her baby was about to have her own baby.
"I know she is. Now come on let's go check on this food of yours! It smells delicious." They both disappeared back into the kitchen.
Nicki looked around for minute, she couldn't see Safaree anywhere and guessed he must be in the bathroom so she went and checked. Nothing. After searching almost everywhere she finally found him in his room on his laptop, he hadn't heard her come in or close the door quietly. Tiptoeing over to him, she put her hand on his shoulder making him jump.
"Nic, shit you scared the fuckin' crap outta me!" He held his hand on his chest as he tried to regain his breath.
"Aw, I'm sorry." She said as she pouted and squished on to the bed next to him. "What are you doin' in here anyway? Don't you wanna be out there?"
"No, I was just...looking up on some stuff, thas all." He shut his laptop and turned to face her.
"What kinda stuff Faree?" She tilted her head, which he found adorable.
"Kay, I'll tell your nosy ass...but promise not to laugh?" He looked at her sternly, whilst she tried to look serious and nod her head. "Well, I was lookin' up info about nestin' and shit." He tried to play off his answer by shrugging and acting like it was nothing before talking again. "Y'know it says that sometimes it's a sign that you 'bout to go into labour?" He looked at her, now laying down, and moved so that he was slightly over her.
"Forreal? So....I could be, like, goin' into labour soon?" She sounded a worried and he didn't want her to start stressing.
"Ion know....you still got....like three months left.....so don't worry." He said in between kisses as his answer turned into a whisper, he felt her breathing quicken as she lay under him.
"Mmm, Faree." She moaned quietly into his ear as he started sucking on her neck. Being pregnant had been making her feel super horny as of late so she wasn't about to turn down this proposal. He moved down to her clavicle, then her bare breasts as he unbuttoned her blouse. Nicki's breathing got even harder and quicker as he got lower and lower. She snapped her head up quickly feeling him stop.
"Faree, why'd you stop?" He felt bad as she sounded quite hurt by his actions.
"I'm sorry...I just can't, it don't feel right while you're, y'know?" He motioned to her bump as she lay her hands on either side of it protectively. "But I'm not against other things..." He trailed off as he leaned over her once again, taking complete control. Their little make out session was interrupted about ten minutes in by Danika knocking on the door.
"Safaree, you in there? We can't find Nicki, please tell me she's with you?"
"Yup...we were just...looking up some more baby stuff on the internet, you can come in." They had both fixed themselves up at this point and placed the laptop in front of them to cover their lie. Danika just looked at them both and smiled.
"Okay, well Lani's home and the food is gon' be ready in, like two minutes and then...." She clapped her hands together and squealed. "Nicki is gon' open all of her presents!" She grinned even more before turning to leave, with one last comment.
"Oh and Nicki? You might wanna do your blouse up babe, we don't wanna see your baby feedin' tools hangin' out, kay? She winked at a blushing Nicki, who was fumbling around with her buttons, before shutting the door behind her. She looked as Safaree smirking.
"Oop!" As she said that they both burst out into a fit a giggles until she pulled forward, wincing in pain.
"Nic? What's wrong?" He sat upright quickly as she just shook her head.
"Nothing, just felt a little tight, thas all." She smiled as he kissed her forehead and they both made their way back out to sit with the others.
*** Six Weeks Later ***
The baby shower was a highlight of Nicki's pregnancy and having everyone there, except her father and Drake, made it all the more special. Jelani and Danika had gone back to Florida and even though Nicki was sad to see them go she knew that had to leave. Everything seemed to be looking up for them now, Klara had done another ultrasound on Nicki at her last appointment and confirmed that the baby's heart beat was getting stronger and more regular now, so Nicki and Safaree were ecstatic. She was a little bit apprehensive though, she was now seven and a half months pregnant and she had an eerie feeling. She just didn't know what about.
"Faree, can you bring me the painkillers and a glass of water on your way through?" She was laying on the couch after Safaree ordered she have a rest. He had found her at midnight in the kitchen scrubbing out all of the cupboards and placing all of the items back in neatly. The night before that she was folding and re-folding all of the tiny clothes in the baby's room. He wasn't alarmed though, he read that it would be something she might do.
"Here. Why'd you need it, are you hurting bad?" He asked whilst sliding on to the couch with her.
"No....well, yeah, my back is just aching like bitch and my head is pounding." she looked at his worried face and shrugged. "Probably because I was on my hands and knees cleaning for too long, and not had enough sleep." She pecked his lips after swallowing the pills. "Imma try and have a sleep now, I wanna be awake when you leave." She wriggled around finally getting comfy on her side, resting on his chest. He had to go to work in two hours, he didn't want to leave her though especially not now he knew she was in pain but he knew he had to, there were bills to pay.
Strangely Nicki woke as Safaree was about to leave, he saw how peacefully she was sleeping and didn't want to wake her. "Hey, you leavin' without a goodbye?" She pouted as he made his way back over to her and kissed her, for what seemed like ages before moving down to her growing bump and kissed it too.
"I'll be back at about eleven. Don't open the door for nobody, right?" She just nodded as he acknowledged her and left the house. She was about to drift off again when her phone buzzed, warning her it was low battery. Safaree had urged her to keep it charged as the house phone was broken, so if she needed help her cellphone was the only thing to contact anyone quickly on. Slowly getting up to grab it she felt an intense pain rip through her as she struggled to steady herself on the coffee table.....

The Time Is Nearing
*Not a very dialogue filled chapter, sorry guys :/ Hope it's ok for you all*
Nicki and Safaree just lay on the couch completely stuffed after their meal out with Jelani and Danika, who had now gone to see Mama Carol before they went to a hotel for the night.
"I can't believe how much you ate!" Safaree laughed as he turned to face her. She just pouted at him before getting up and heading to her room, she returned about 5 minutes later in a baggy t-shirt that used to be Safaree's and a pair of pink boy shorts. Nicki hated the cold normally and ever since she got pregnant the hate became so much stronger so the house was constantly heated to keep her happy.
"Move over we need more space." She placed one hand on her bump and flicked the back of his head making him hiss and immediately start rubbing the area she hurt, he did as she said making enough room for her between his legs. Carefully she climbed into the gap and made herself comfy. "That's better!" She sighed happily in his arms with her back resting on his chest, she knew she should probably just go to bed because she'd fall asleep as soon as she shut her eyes, which is exactly what she did. Safaree wasn't tired yet so he just let her sleep while he watched the TV, Nicki wasn't easily woken so he figured it would be ok. She did keep fidgeting though so he quickly muted it thinking that the noise was disturbing her, when he noticed her brow was furrowed. What he saw next was really strange. As he sat there staring he moved his hand to Nicki's bump and gently rested it there and surely enough he could feel what he was seeing. The baby was moving, he guessed that's why Nicki was squirming around with an uncomfortable look on her face. It felt so weird, no wonder she looked angry in her sleep. He was pulled out of his thoughts by Nicki's hand unconsciously coming down to hold her stomach, he moved out of her way and continued watching TV.
***
Nicki woke up at about midnight in her own bed. She looked around trying to remember how she got there when she realised Safaree must have carried her to bed. She felt cold and lonely so she made her way out of her room and gently opened Safaree's door only to see him sleeping wild. She closed the door as quietly as she could behind her and carefully crawled up under the covers and into the tiny little space near his back. She watched him for a while, not in a creepy way...just admiring him as he inhaled and exhaled steadily. She tried to get closer, feeling the cold all of a sudden, finally finding the right place to settle where she drifted back off to sleep in no time.
The next day Safaree woke up to find the covers completely snatched away from him and bundled around a tiny shape next to him, he could see it rising and falling slowly. Shaking his head he trudged quietly out to the bathroom to proceed with his morning duties. He had a lot planned for today, and it made things a lot easier knowing that Nicki was asleep.
***
Again, waking up after midday, Nicki decided that lounging around didn't really suit her so she showered and got dressed before making her way in to the lounge room. After feeding herself a plentiful amount she had the intense urge to clean, she hated cleaning but this was just something that she felt like she had to do. Without questioning her desire she got to work, scrubbing, vacuuming and dusting the whole house from top to bottom until it was absolutely pristine. Heading into the only room left, which would eventually be her baby's, she almost dropped all of the cleaning objects in her hands. She stood with her mouth gaping open, walking in slowly trying to take in all of the surroundings. The whole room had been decorated and furnished. The walls were painted a pastel blue as well as the carpet and a small rug in the centre of the room, which all went well with the little white crib in the corner near a set of drawers. She moved over to the rocking chair, which was sat near the crib, and made herself comfy on it. She was so caught up with the room right at that moment, she didn't even hear the front door open. Safaree and Danika were watching her from the doorway when she looked up at their smiling faces.
"Guys! When the hell did y'all get time to do this?!" She stood up slowly as she went over to them.
"Actually, all I did was buy and pick out the clothes..." She looked at Safaree. "He did the rest...anyway, I'll go make us a drink." She smiled and left them to have a moment.
"Safaree, I don't even know what to say!......Thank you so much, I love it." She reached up on her tiptoes and kissed him lightly on his lips before grabbing his hand and leading him out of the room.
"Do you like what I did?" She stood proudly next to him as he Danika and looked around in awe at how clean the house was.
"Onika? Cleaning? Forreal?" She playfully hit him on the arm and made herself comfy on the couch.
"Aww, Nicki's nesting!" Danika squealed on her way through to the lounge room. Safaree started laughing before looking at them both staring at him. "It really happens y'know?" Danika looked at him seriously. "And it's gon' get a lot worse than just cleaning." She looked back at Nicki who was now giggling at Safaree's confused and worried face.
"Why d'you gotta make her sound like a bird or somethin'?" He rubbed his head and sat down next to Nicki. Danika just cackled at his question.
"No, dumbass! That's what it's called! She's preparing the house for the new arrival." She put her hand on Nicki's bump as Nicki just nodded at Safaree, who now looked even more confused.
".....Anyway, Candi and Lauren are coming over later. Lauren was rambling about having to give you a present for the Bump's six month birthday or somethin' like that." Nicki's eyes widened.
"Oh yeah! I'm officially six months pregnant today!" She beamed, grabbing both of their hands and pushing them on to her bump. They just laughed at her being all excited.
"Hey? Where's Lani?" Nicki looked at Danika questioningly. Honestly she didn't really know either.
"I dunno, he said he had some business to take care of before he came here. But he'll be here later don't worry!.....Your Mom and Caiah are coming too, I'm gon' cook for y'all as like a liddle celebration!" She grinned, Nicki loved how carried away Danika got with things like this. That's why she couldn't wait to go and look at all of the clothes she had picked out for her baby boy. She knew they'd be super cute.
They continued to converse and laugh amongst one another until Candi, Lauren, Mama Carol and Caiah arrived. It was like a casual baby shower. At that moment Nicki couldn't have been any happier.
***
Jelani looked at the address once more as he sat in his car outside of the house. He was at the right place, no doubt about it as he saw Drake making his way in through the front door.
"Found you." He said to himself before opening the car door.....
*DON'T YELL!! I'm sorry I really did mean to make this a MUCH longer chapter but....I left it too late :/ sorry! Anyway I have a different idea, Imma just keep going until Nic has the baby and then maybe do two chapters after that to explain a name an alladat blah blah blah and THEN I will fast forward a year...or two but I'll decide that when I get closer to actually being there, kay?? Hope this was okay, was a little slow but...yeeaah :/ Muuah and THANKS FOR COMMENTING ALL OF YOU WHO DID!! ^_^ *

Someone To Confide In (Full Chapter)
Safaree woke up early the next morning, slightly more tired than usual partly because of how late they were out waiting on Drake's ass and partly because of how much Nicki was moving around and mumbling in her sleep. He looked down in his arms to see her still wrapped safely against his chest. He looked over to the alarm clock which read 8:17am, it was still dark in Nicki's room because she had blackout blinds instead of curtains, she hated to be woken by the sun and always said it was Mother Nature being rude. He sat and thought for a while about how he was going to get out of bed without waking Nicki and decided to swiftly but gently pull away from her, shockingly it worked she did stir slightly but that was it.
He squinted as he made his way into the lounge area and the light hit him before he was ready. He really needed to talk to someone about Nicki, he was worried about her and the baby. What if Drake had done something to her? He wouldn't know because she wasn't talking about it. He sighed again thinking about the night's events and decided to take his mind off of it by making himself and Nicki a massive cooked up breakfast, knowing that as soon as the smell hit her she would be out of her room in a flash. Quietly getting the pots and pans together he carried out his breakfast plans and plated the food up once he was finished cooking. He sat pondering whether or not to wake Nicki, she still hadn't emerged from her room. Before he could act on that thought the phone rang out from across the room, but as always Nicki hadn't put it back where it belonged and he guessed it was somewhere buried in the couch. It went to answering machine andhis voice spoke slowly and quietly, Safaree was riled up again and quickly snatched the phone out from underneath the pillow when he found it.
"What the fuck do you want?!" He could no longer hold his anger in. Just like last night.
"....I just...I want to speak to Nicki." Drake answered shyly but with underlying attitude.
"And you, you think Imma just hand the phone to her?! Get it into yo' damn head, she don't wanna talk to you asshole!" And with that he slammed the phone down hoping he actually hadn't woken Nicki up.
Catching a glimpse of the calendar he suddenly remembered.
"Ahh shit!" He mumbled as he looked around the room, the place was a mess and Jelani would be home in hour. Scrambling around he tidied as best he could and scoffed his food which had now gone cold, he put Nicki's back in the oven and left it for when she wanted to re-heat it when she was hungry. Literally just as Safaree was taking the trash out Jelani and Danika were making their way up the steps to the house.
"Hey man! What's good?" The guys greeted one another before Safaree turned his attention to Danika, who he had only met a couple of times.
"And good morning to you future Mrs Maraj." He laughed as she flashed her ring hand around jokingly and giggled.
"I'll think you'll find it's now afternoon!" She smiled as she looked at her watch.
"Oh, my bad..anyway come on, come in it's fuckin' freezin' out here!" He said whilst rubbing his hands together.
Once they were all inside Jelani pointed out and praised how clean and tidy his house looked.
"Wow, I see you kids are really tryin' huh?" He motioned to the sparkling kitchen. Safaree nodded proudly. Danika was first to break the silence.
"So where she at? Huh? I wanna see how big my liddo nephew is!" Jelani had told her about Nic being pregnant and she was always there for the weekly chat when he called her to check up on them. She and Jelani looked at Safaree waiting for him to talk.
"Actually, she's still sleeping....there was a bit of...drama last night.." He rubbed the back of his neck and trailed off as he led them to the lounge area to sit.
"What?! What happened, is she ok?" Jelani was talking a mile a minute as Danika grasped his hand in worry. He knew Nicki would be pissed at him for telling her brother but he desperately need to talk to someone about it.
"Firstly, she's fine I think, but Imma call Klara and ask her to make a home visit later on today. Secondly you must promise not to kick off because that's the last thing she wants or needs for that matter and besides...I think I did enough last night." Jelani and Danika were relieved that Nicki was ok but as Safaree continued to tell them about the father of Nicki's baby and what went down las night the look on Jelani's face was furious.
"Ohh my poor baby!" Danika gushed as she stood up from the couch. "..is it ok if I go see her?" Safaree nodded he thought she might open up to her seeing as they both liked to talk about girly shit and guys. She made her way over to Nicki's room and opened the door quietly making sure to shut it behind her. Her room was pretty dark but she made out the small shape in the bed and tiptoed over to her. Noticing that it was almost 3:00pm she was a bit concerned as to why she was still asleep but figured she was just tired with staying out late and being pregnant.
"Nicki?" She smoothed her hand over her arm as she whispered to try and wake her. She didn't move. "Nic? Come on, I know you're playin' sleep." She giggled as she carried on tickling her arm which would usually make her start laughing and give away the fact that she wasn't really asleep. "Nic, girl I'm not about to drag yo' lazy pregnant ass outta here by your damn hair!" Her smile faded as she realised Nicki still wasn't responding. "Shit Nic, you're scarin' me now..." She started shaking her more roughly but not enough to hurt her. Still nothing. Danika jumped off the bed and ran to the light switch flicking it on quickly before turning to look at an unamused Nicki glaring back at her.
"What'd you go put the damn light on for, hoe!" She cracked a smile as she said it but Danika wasn't impressed.
"You had me over thinkin' you was unconscious or some shit like that!" she picked up a pillow and threw it in Nicki's direction. "Bitch! don't do that again, you scared me!" Nicki just laughed lightly at her reaction.
"So...how is everything?" She moved back over to the bed and sat where she was before.
"....amazing." Nicki sighed as she looked at Danika.
"Don't be sarcastic, it ain't cute! But really though, what happened last night?" She kept her eyes fixed on Nicki as she questioned her.
"Me and Drake had an argument...thas it." She started to play with the tassels on her pillow feeling the conversation becoming uncomfortable. Danika picked up on her mood and decided to change the subject.
"Lani's out there y'know? He sounded like a kid on the way over! Chattin' 'bout how much he's gon' spoil this nephew of his!" They both laughed at the thought until Danika stood up.
"Come on! I'm not lettin' you lay in here and rot! Get up, go for a shower and come out to see us in some decent clothes, Ion want your brother seeing you in a pair of teeny tiny boy shorts...he'll hit the roof!" She was right, Jelani hated to think of her being a teen now.
"Allrrriiight, but I'm tellin' you now I'm not gon' be very good company! I feel like shit, I'm really tired and NOTHING fits me anymore!" She dramatically threw the covers off of herself and stormed over to her wardrobe to find something to wear. Danika just smiled at her diva-like attitude.
"Well, me and Lani are in town for a week so how 'bout I take you and your friends out shopping? My treat?" She made Nicki's bed as she waited for her to respond.
"Thanks, I need to get outta here for some time with the girls." She looked down as Danika moved closer to her.
"I'm here y'know? If y'ever wanna talk?" She pulled her into a hug before moving away. "Now go shower! And be quick about it!" She left the room shutting the door behind her. In a way Nicki was kind of glad Drake acted like a jerk last night, she was rid of him and there was no way in hell she was going to let him be around their baby if he was like that. She wanted for her baby to have what she didn't...although now their was no father-figure around. As of yet, she did need to speak to Drake whether she liked it or not.
A good hour later Nicki was sat on her bed in her underwear rubbing lotion all over herself, making sure to put more on her bump than anywhere else. She was paranoid she was going to get stretch-marks. Without warning her door opened causing her to jump.
"Oh shit!! I'm sorry Nic, I didn't know you were..y'know...in you-"
"In my underwear Faree?" She was getting impatient with his stammering. By now she had pulled her robe on and stood up from where she was sat. "I'm good now, you can turn around." She showed him a small smile before walking over to him. It was now or never.
"Faree I need to talk to you....can you please shut the door?" He nodded unsurely as he heard the door click shut and walked back over to Nicki, who was now sat back on the bed.
"So, is this 'bout last night? Cause I think we really need to talk about that." He raised his eyebrow and positioned himself on the bed next to Nicki. She sighed and looked away. Maybe this was a good thing though? That way she could explain what happened with Drake and tell Safaree how she really felt about him. She was scared though, if she made things awkward now when she needed him the most she would regret it. However her Mother's words echoed through her thoughts and she decided to just go for it.
***
Safaree felt himself getting riled up again after hearing what Drake did, he was brought back from his angry thoughts by Nicki clutching at his arm.
"Faree?" He turned to look at her.
"Did you hear anything I said just now?!" He hadn't realised that he had completely stopped listening as soon as she told him Drake had lay his hands on her, meanwhile she had poured her whole heart out to him.
"Sorry, I'm just...I'm so mad." He balled his fists up again only to have her gently grab hold of his hands and hold them tight, he gladly returned the gesture. "Please..continue, repeat what you just said." She rolled her eyes and sighed.
"I said....I think...well I don't think, I know that..." She kept pausing and blushing. "...there is something between us Safaree, Ion what it is but I sure as hell know that this isn't just a normal friendship. Y'know what I'm sayin'?" She desperately wanted him to catch on and take control of the conversation. His heart felt like it was about to beat out of his chest, as did hers.
"Actually, I do know what you mean." His response was extremely calm considering his stomach felt like it was doing somersaults. "I have had feeling's for you for the longest time Onika...and I 'm just hopin' that's you was 'bout to tell me, right?" He suddenly panicked thinking maybe she wasn't intending it the way it had sounded. Nicki's body collapsed as she started crying.
"Fuck's sake! Look at me crying...AGAIN!" She was sick of crying and feeling like an emotional wreck all of the time. Safaree just pulled her closer to him and held her tight, he shivered when he felt her talking softly against his neck. "...You are right though, that is what I was 'bout to tell you..." She trailed off before sniffling again. He gently pulled away from her so that he could look her in the eye, both staring for a few seconds before moving closer and closing the gap. He brushed his lips against hers lightly, sending the most intense tingles through her whole body, things got heated pretty quickly as she parted her lips to let his tongue enter and he had no option but to pull away when she moaned into his mouth at the feeling of him, she was craving this kind of attention so understandably she pouted when he stood up.
"You're brother is right outside of this door Onika, so get some clothes on! He's takin' us out to eat." Nicki's stomach churned as he said that, she was starving and wasn't about to pass up on a free meal out.
*Don't be mad if it's a little short :/ I am trynna get things wrapped up but Ion wanna rush so y'all will just have to be patient! And those comments guys? I was cryingggg XD It was like 4:00am when I was reading them, had to put a damn pillow over my face to muffle the laughter! Connette...stay away from my parents kay? You got your chapter >____> hahaa and there will be more drama in the next three chapters! :D :D Well hope it was alright for you all!! THANKS FOR COMMENTING!! Oh and pleease excuse any typos :/ Muuuah*
He squinted as he made his way into the lounge area and the light hit him before he was ready. He really needed to talk to someone about Nicki, he was worried about her and the baby. What if Drake had done something to her? He wouldn't know because she wasn't talking about it. He sighed again thinking about the night's events and decided to take his mind off of it by making himself and Nicki a massive cooked up breakfast, knowing that as soon as the smell hit her she would be out of her room in a flash. Quietly getting the pots and pans together he carried out his breakfast plans and plated the food up once he was finished cooking. He sat pondering whether or not to wake Nicki, she still hadn't emerged from her room. Before he could act on that thought the phone rang out from across the room, but as always Nicki hadn't put it back where it belonged and he guessed it was somewhere buried in the couch. It went to answering machine andhis voice spoke slowly and quietly, Safaree was riled up again and quickly snatched the phone out from underneath the pillow when he found it.
"What the fuck do you want?!" He could no longer hold his anger in. Just like last night.
"....I just...I want to speak to Nicki." Drake answered shyly but with underlying attitude.
"And you, you think Imma just hand the phone to her?! Get it into yo' damn head, she don't wanna talk to you asshole!" And with that he slammed the phone down hoping he actually hadn't woken Nicki up.
Catching a glimpse of the calendar he suddenly remembered.
"Ahh shit!" He mumbled as he looked around the room, the place was a mess and Jelani would be home in hour. Scrambling around he tidied as best he could and scoffed his food which had now gone cold, he put Nicki's back in the oven and left it for when she wanted to re-heat it when she was hungry. Literally just as Safaree was taking the trash out Jelani and Danika were making their way up the steps to the house.
"Hey man! What's good?" The guys greeted one another before Safaree turned his attention to Danika, who he had only met a couple of times.
"And good morning to you future Mrs Maraj." He laughed as she flashed her ring hand around jokingly and giggled.
"I'll think you'll find it's now afternoon!" She smiled as she looked at her watch.
"Oh, my bad..anyway come on, come in it's fuckin' freezin' out here!" He said whilst rubbing his hands together.
Once they were all inside Jelani pointed out and praised how clean and tidy his house looked.
"Wow, I see you kids are really tryin' huh?" He motioned to the sparkling kitchen. Safaree nodded proudly. Danika was first to break the silence.
"So where she at? Huh? I wanna see how big my liddo nephew is!" Jelani had told her about Nic being pregnant and she was always there for the weekly chat when he called her to check up on them. She and Jelani looked at Safaree waiting for him to talk.
"Actually, she's still sleeping....there was a bit of...drama last night.." He rubbed the back of his neck and trailed off as he led them to the lounge area to sit.
"What?! What happened, is she ok?" Jelani was talking a mile a minute as Danika grasped his hand in worry. He knew Nicki would be pissed at him for telling her brother but he desperately need to talk to someone about it.
"Firstly, she's fine I think, but Imma call Klara and ask her to make a home visit later on today. Secondly you must promise not to kick off because that's the last thing she wants or needs for that matter and besides...I think I did enough last night." Jelani and Danika were relieved that Nicki was ok but as Safaree continued to tell them about the father of Nicki's baby and what went down las night the look on Jelani's face was furious.
"Ohh my poor baby!" Danika gushed as she stood up from the couch. "..is it ok if I go see her?" Safaree nodded he thought she might open up to her seeing as they both liked to talk about girly shit and guys. She made her way over to Nicki's room and opened the door quietly making sure to shut it behind her. Her room was pretty dark but she made out the small shape in the bed and tiptoed over to her. Noticing that it was almost 3:00pm she was a bit concerned as to why she was still asleep but figured she was just tired with staying out late and being pregnant.
"Nicki?" She smoothed her hand over her arm as she whispered to try and wake her. She didn't move. "Nic? Come on, I know you're playin' sleep." She giggled as she carried on tickling her arm which would usually make her start laughing and give away the fact that she wasn't really asleep. "Nic, girl I'm not about to drag yo' lazy pregnant ass outta here by your damn hair!" Her smile faded as she realised Nicki still wasn't responding. "Shit Nic, you're scarin' me now..." She started shaking her more roughly but not enough to hurt her. Still nothing. Danika jumped off the bed and ran to the light switch flicking it on quickly before turning to look at an unamused Nicki glaring back at her.
"What'd you go put the damn light on for, hoe!" She cracked a smile as she said it but Danika wasn't impressed.
"You had me over thinkin' you was unconscious or some shit like that!" she picked up a pillow and threw it in Nicki's direction. "Bitch! don't do that again, you scared me!" Nicki just laughed lightly at her reaction.
"So...how is everything?" She moved back over to the bed and sat where she was before.
"....amazing." Nicki sighed as she looked at Danika.
"Don't be sarcastic, it ain't cute! But really though, what happened last night?" She kept her eyes fixed on Nicki as she questioned her.
"Me and Drake had an argument...thas it." She started to play with the tassels on her pillow feeling the conversation becoming uncomfortable. Danika picked up on her mood and decided to change the subject.
"Lani's out there y'know? He sounded like a kid on the way over! Chattin' 'bout how much he's gon' spoil this nephew of his!" They both laughed at the thought until Danika stood up.
"Come on! I'm not lettin' you lay in here and rot! Get up, go for a shower and come out to see us in some decent clothes, Ion want your brother seeing you in a pair of teeny tiny boy shorts...he'll hit the roof!" She was right, Jelani hated to think of her being a teen now.
"Allrrriiight, but I'm tellin' you now I'm not gon' be very good company! I feel like shit, I'm really tired and NOTHING fits me anymore!" She dramatically threw the covers off of herself and stormed over to her wardrobe to find something to wear. Danika just smiled at her diva-like attitude.

*Sneak Peek* Someone To Confide In
***starting where I left off last chapter***
Safaree woke up early the next morning, slightly more tired than usual partly because of how late they were out waiting on Drake's ass and partly because of how much Nicki was moving around and mumbling in her sleep. He looked down in his arms to see her still wrapped safely against his chest. He looked over to the alarm clock which read 8:17am, it was still dark in Nicki's room because she had blackout blinds instead of curtains, she hated to be woken by the sun and always said it was Mother Nature being rude. He sat and thought for a while about how he was going to get out of bed without waking Nicki and decided to swiftly but gently pull away from her, shockingly it worked she did stir slightly but that was it.
He squinted as he made his way into the lounge area and the light hit him before he was ready. He really needed to talk to someone about Nicki, he was worried about her and the baby. What if Drake had done something to her? He wouldn't know because she wasn't talking about it.

Splitting The Triangle - Part Three (Final Chapter)
*Kay, I know I'm late posting and it's short but it's here now...I'm not too happy with this one but I just need to get it out of my way so I posted it, also I really struggled with this one cause I've never written a fight scene before :/ I been a busy bee but I'm baarrcck! Hope this chapter is ok for y'all*
***Starting where I left off last chapter***
She felt the wall make contact with her back as the air was knocked out of her tiny body. A look of rage was painted all over his face as he leaned in close to her own face. The panic kicked in as his grip on her got firmer the more she struggled.
"Don't you ever undermine me or embarrass me in front of my boys like that again, YOU HEAR ME?!" He grabbed her face and then relaxed a little when she nodded out of fear. She didn't know why she froze up like that, usually she would have flown at anyone yelling in her face. She felt sick and wasn't sure whether or not it was the smell of alcohol and smoke on him or the fact that she was completely shit scared of him at this point, after all she was in no condition to try and fight back. He noticed the frightened look on her face and the way she was shaking uncontrollably.
"Hey, it's ok baby...now you know not to do it again, yeah?" He just looked at her and smiled sickeningly as he said it, swaying from side to side. Nicki scoffed at him as she regained a bit of courage to answer him back.
"What the ACTUAL FUCK Aubrey?!" Immediately she regretted asking when he quickly closed the gap between them making her let out a small whimper, she felt well and truly trapped and she desperately wanted to yell out for Safaree but was paralysed with fear.
"It's ok babe...I-Imma jus' let you make it up t-to me." He slurred as he started running his hands up and down her thighs and rested his head in the crook of her neck. Without thinking she just went crazy and started hitting and slapping all over him, causing him to stumble backwards slightly in shock.
"Get..your..fucking hands..off...OF...ME!!" She kept on yelling between slaps, mainly aiming at his chest and face. Unbeknownst to her Safaree had heard her screaming and without warning the front door flew open. By now she was completely breathless from crying and her all out slapping attack on Drake who was still shielding himself from her at the bottom of the stairs. Swiftly removing his arms from his face he was met with a surprise when Safaree knocked him into the stair railings with his fist.
"DIDN'T I TELL YOU NIGGA?! HUH? I SAID IF YOU EVER HURT HER I WAS GON' FUCK YOU UP!" Safaree was in no way whatsoever holding back. He kept punching until he himself was breathless, he knew he wasn't the violent type but he really lost control this time. Mentally arguing with himself to stop he pulled away from Drake's coiled up body, laughing at the sight of a bloodied up Drake now looking as helpless as Nicki probably felt before. He turned to rush over to Nicki only she wasn't there. Hearing men in the other room he decided that now would be a smart time to leave, he could only assume Nicki had bolted out of the front door in a panic so he quickly followed in pursuit.
***
She didn't know where she was going, or even why she was running, she had gone straight past Safaree's car and just kept walking. Attempting to run or at least jog part of the way but slowing down when she felt like she couldn't breathe anymore and her tummy became unbearably tight. She couldn't hold it in any longer and as she leant over trying to regain her breath she felt the familiar feeling of stinging in her eyes. Letting the tears roll down her face she perched herself on the edge of the sidewalk and rocked herself in the cold. She was trying so hard to breathe normally again but it was more difficult as she was sobbing so much. Just as she was about to try and stand up she felt a hand on her shoulder and a jacket drape around her, she jumped a little but then calmed down when she realised it was Safaree.
"What the hell happened back there?" He asked quietly as he sat himself down next to her, she was freezing and he could tell so he wrapped his arm around her gently pulling her closer to him. It felt weird though, usually she would relax into him but this time she remained tense and tried to shakily shrug out of his arms.
"Nic, It's me Safaree..and you know damn well I ain't gon' do anything to you."She felt so bad at how hurt he sounded as he said it.
"Can we please j-just go?" If he weren't as close as he was he wouldn't have heard her for how quiet she was. He sighed and helped her stand up.
"Course we can, come on I left the car back there." He started leading her back towards the car but she stopped moving and slowly stepped back.
"There's now way in hell I'm goin' back that way! Are you outta your mind?." She had planted herself stubbornly to the ground.
Safaree gripped her hand and made her look at him. "I am NOT gon' let him hurt you Onika...and that's a promise." He squeezed her hand re-assuringly and she hesitantly let him lead her to the car.
***Back Home***
The car ride back to the house was really quiet apart for Nicki's stifled breathing. She wouldn't talk to him and Safaree knew the more that he pressed the issue the more she would bottle everything up and he really didn't want that. When they made it back in to the house she headed straight for her room without a word and shut the door. He had no idea what to do, what to say even. He walked slowly over to her bedroom door and hesitated before knocking, there was no answer so he bravely let himself in.
"Nic? Nicki?" He whispered loudly, her room was dark so he guessed she was under her bed covers. He knew he was risking being verbally abused by climbing on to her bed but he wanted to make sure she was ok, especially because of how strangely she was breathing in the car on the way home. As he got closer to the lump in the bed, which he was assuming was a curled up Nicki, he was surprised when she didn't say anything. Unsurely climbing under the covers and wrapping his arms around her he was prepared for rejection again but she didn't move and after about thirty seconds he felt her shifting backwards to get closer to him. He gladly let her move in to him, her uneven breathing was still worrying him but he just figured if he stayed with her she would eventually calm down.
"...Thank you Faree." It was the smallest, quietest whisper he had ever heard but he did hear it and to show her he had he held her even tighter. They stayed the same way until the morning light cracked through Nicki's bedroom window.
*Mkaay, like I said I'm not too happy with this one :'''( I really felt the pressure this time..I don't know why, I think it's cause I have more readers now and I feel you were all expecting some amazing chapter and I got all nervous and I'm scared I will have disappointed you all :((( hopefully it was ok though? Thank you for all of the amazing comments :D They actually make me smile when I read them, that's no lie! XD But cheeaa hopefully you enjoy it and for those who weren't fans of my annoying cliffhangers, this one hasn't got one hahaa ^_^ Chow for now Muuaah*
***Starting where I left off last chapter***
She felt the wall make contact with her back as the air was knocked out of her tiny body. A look of rage was painted all over his face as he leaned in close to her own face. The panic kicked in as his grip on her got firmer the more she struggled.
"Don't you ever undermine me or embarrass me in front of my boys like that again, YOU HEAR ME?!" He grabbed her face and then relaxed a little when she nodded out of fear. She didn't know why she froze up like that, usually she would have flown at anyone yelling in her face. She felt sick and wasn't sure whether or not it was the smell of alcohol and smoke on him or the fact that she was completely shit scared of him at this point, after all she was in no condition to try and fight back. He noticed the frightened look on her face and the way she was shaking uncontrollably.
"Hey, it's ok baby...now you know not to do it again, yeah?" He just looked at her and smiled sickeningly as he said it, swaying from side to side. Nicki scoffed at him as she regained a bit of courage to answer him back.
"What the ACTUAL FUCK Aubrey?!" Immediately she regretted asking when he quickly closed the gap between them making her let out a small whimper, she felt well and truly trapped and she desperately wanted to yell out for Safaree but was paralysed with fear.
"It's ok babe...I-Imma jus' let you make it up t-to me." He slurred as he started running his hands up and down her thighs and rested his head in the crook of her neck. Without thinking she just went crazy and started hitting and slapping all over him, causing him to stumble backwards slightly in shock.
"Get..your..fucking hands..off...OF...ME!!" She kept on yelling between slaps, mainly aiming at his chest and face. Unbeknownst to her Safaree had heard her screaming and without warning the front door flew open. By now she was completely breathless from crying and her all out slapping attack on Drake who was still shielding himself from her at the bottom of the stairs. Swiftly removing his arms from his face he was met with a surprise when Safaree knocked him into the stair railings with his fist.
"DIDN'T I TELL YOU NIGGA?! HUH? I SAID IF YOU EVER HURT HER I WAS GON' FUCK YOU UP!" Safaree was in no way whatsoever holding back. He kept punching until he himself was breathless, he knew he wasn't the violent type but he really lost control this time. Mentally arguing with himself to stop he pulled away from Drake's coiled up body, laughing at the sight of a bloodied up Drake now looking as helpless as Nicki probably felt before. He turned to rush over to Nicki only she wasn't there. Hearing men in the other room he decided that now would be a smart time to leave, he could only assume Nicki had bolted out of the front door in a panic so he quickly followed in pursuit.
***
She didn't know where she was going, or even why she was running, she had gone straight past Safaree's car and just kept walking. Attempting to run or at least jog part of the way but slowing down when she felt like she couldn't breathe anymore and her tummy became unbearably tight. She couldn't hold it in any longer and as she leant over trying to regain her breath she felt the familiar feeling of stinging in her eyes. Letting the tears roll down her face she perched herself on the edge of the sidewalk and rocked herself in the cold. She was trying so hard to breathe normally again but it was more difficult as she was sobbing so much. Just as she was about to try and stand up she felt a hand on her shoulder and a jacket drape around her, she jumped a little but then calmed down when she realised it was Safaree.
"What the hell happened back there?" He asked quietly as he sat himself down next to her, she was freezing and he could tell so he wrapped his arm around her gently pulling her closer to him. It felt weird though, usually she would relax into him but this time she remained tense and tried to shakily shrug out of his arms.
"Nic, It's me Safaree..and you know damn well I ain't gon' do anything to you."She felt so bad at how hurt he sounded as he said it.
"Can we please j-just go?" If he weren't as close as he was he wouldn't have heard her for how quiet she was. He sighed and helped her stand up.
"Course we can, come on I left the car back there." He started leading her back towards the car but she stopped moving and slowly stepped back.
"There's now way in hell I'm goin' back that way! Are you outta your mind?." She had planted herself stubbornly to the ground.
Safaree gripped her hand and made her look at him. "I am NOT gon' let him hurt you Onika...and that's a promise." He squeezed her hand re-assuringly and she hesitantly let him lead her to the car.
***Back Home***
The car ride back to the house was really quiet apart for Nicki's stifled breathing. She wouldn't talk to him and Safaree knew the more that he pressed the issue the more she would bottle everything up and he really didn't want that. When they made it back in to the house she headed straight for her room without a word and shut the door. He had no idea what to do, what to say even.

Splitting The Triangle - Part 2 (Full Chapter)
Nicki pressed play and listened to the message on the phone, it was Drake.
"Bae, it's me Drake. I'm sorry I wasn't there to see your beautiful face when you woke up this morning, I had to go..y'know school and alladat" She smiled as she listened to his smooth words, although it was hard to hear him over all of the noise in the background on the message..which didn't really sound like school. She could hear older men yelling, laughing and cussing. "..anyway I was just ringing to ask if you could come pick me up later, I know you can't drive...but SB can and I don't really feel like I can ask him...s'ok if you can't but get back to me soon. Bye baby" and with that the message was over.
Nicki was a little confused but just shrugged it off and texted him asking what time he wanted to be picked up. When he texted back she did a double take "11:00pm! What in the hell? I'm gon' be sleep at that time!" she huffed and shook her head "Whatever, not like I have to get up early". She finished her texting session with Drake and let Safaree know that they had to go get him. Then she called her mother to make sure they had got home ok, which to her relief they had. Finally she settled herself back on the couch and called Candi and Lauren.
"Heeeeyyy Nic, s'goin on?" Lauren was always so chirpy.
"Hi Laur...well nuttin'! That's the problem!" Nicki pouted as though Lauren could see her. Then she heard some yelling in the background.
"Hold up Nic, Candi's bin a loud ass" Nicki heard Candi's muffled laughter and started giggling herself.
"Annyywaaaays I want y'all to come 'round to mine, y'know for a girls night?"She played with the ends of her hair waiting for them to answer.
"Sure, we dying to see you, plus we got lots to talk about missy!" Nicki cringed, she hated been interrogated by these two, they were relentless.
"Damn Laur! so you go about interrogatin' pregnant girls in yo' spare time?!" The girls couldn't help but laugh at her ratchet talk.
"Shuush child! We on our way over, make sure there's food! We starvin' over here." She ended the call and shook her head and started to get everything ready.
She had finished showering up and was sat on her bed in her underwear pasting body lotion over herself. "I ain't livin' with no stretchmarks cause of you liddo one!" As she continued to talk to her baby she could feel him continuously kicking and wished Safaree was here to see it. "See?!" she thought to herself "Why do I think of him first?...Drake is the father, not Faree." Her internal argument was interrupted by someone annoyingly holding the doorbell down. "Candi, seriously Imma slap the shit outta you!" She muttered and threw her robe back on over her underwear, and went to let them in.
Candi and Lauren barged through the door as soon as it was opened, being careful not to knock Nicki over at the same time.
"Do you have any idea how damn cold it is out there?!" Candi exaggerated as she shrugged her coat off. Nicki just laughed as she went to hug Lauren and then did the same to a pouting Candi.
"I've missed you two so much!!" She squeaked as she did a little skippy run to the kitchen to get snacks, Lauren and Candi just shook their heads at her trying to run as carefully as she could.
"We missed you too Nic! Or should I say both of you!" she patted Nicki's tummy. "So how is our little nephew?" Lauren had gone over to help Nicki carry things over to the lounge area whilst Candi had helpfully spread herself on the couch and seized the TV remote.
"He's ok, yeah." Nicki said with a small smile. She hadn't told them about his heart, that was what she planning on doing when she invited them over, that and to talk about the Drake and Safaree situation.
"Just..ok?" She looked concerned as she continued to rub her friend's bump. Nicki looked up with a sad face.
"Let's just get these in to the lounge area and I'll tell you everything." She sighed as she said it, every time she thought or talked about it she would get upset all over again but she wanted to have a positive outlook on the situation so she started taking her medication and vitamins like Klara had said and was determined to give her baby the best start in life.
Candi and Lauren were almost in tears as Nicki explained what might happen to her baby if his heart didn't get better.
"He's gon' be so little...but if he's a fighter like his mommy is, he's gon' get through it easy." Candi nodded her head in agreement with what Lauren was saying.
"Thank you guys, you always make me feel better that's why I love you!" She rewarded them with one of her best dimpled smiles.
"Don't be think' you're gettin' out of our questions we wanna ask you!" Lauren said as she crossed her arms and tilted her head with attitude.
Nicki just looked at them and thought to herself "Damn I thought I was gon' get away with that!"
"Uuuugghh fine!! what are yo' stupid ass questions anyway?!" She huffed loudly and sank further into the couch.
Lauren looked at Candi and smirked "Ohh you know just stuff about.." she paused whilst shrugging and playing with her hair "..you and...DRIZZY DRAKE!!" Nicki almost jumped out of her skin at how loudly they both yelled and side-eyed them.
"Yeaah...what 'bout us?"
"Oh, so there is an US?" Candi emphasised the word 'us' as she stared intently at Nicki.
"Y'know what? Imma need you nosey asses to mind y'own business, kay?" She couldn't help smiling as she said it, she thought it was funny how desperate they were to know.
"Actually...come to think of it, you never even told us who the father of this liddo one is!!" Lauren was now spitting chips everywhere as she talked with her mouth full.
"First of all, stop sprayin' food all over my gatdamn livin' room and second of all...I was going to tell you that tonight..."She trailed off before piling a handful of popcorn into her mouth.
"OhMyGawd, it's Dwight ain't it?!" Candi sounded shocked at her suggestion, as if it were actually true.
"Umm No!" She looked between the two of them before continuing "......It's Drake." Their gasps were as loud as one another's.
"When in the HELL did that happen?!" Lauren crawled closer to Nicki and climbed up on to the couch with her.
"At that stupid senior's party, y'know the one I told y'all I didn't want to go to?" She put more emphasis on the word 'didn't'. Both of her friends looked beyond shocked.
"So thas why you were so desperate to leave?" Nicki just nodded and looked at Candi, he didn't realise that I was only fifteen at the time, but now-" She was interrupted by Lauren.
"Wait, what do you mean 'but now'? You ain't tellin' us that you still with him..are you?"
"Well yeah I am but, thas kinda what I asked you 'round here for, Ion know if it's just me or my hormones or what...but I don't feel the same way about him as I did....and I think I may be catching feelings for Safaree." she speeded the last part of her sentence up and tried to quickly stand and walk away to the kitchen but Candi and Lauren grabbed a hand each and pulled her back..but gently of course.
"Hoooold up a sec! You, you like Safaree that way?!" Candi sounded disgusted seeing as they are all his best friends and nothing more.
"Thas what I'm trynna say! Ion know if it's actually the way I feel...I mean the other day I had hold of his hand and it just felt..right and he came out of the bathroom with just a towel 'round his waist and I swear I had to go change my panties!" They all laughed at the last part of her comment.
"But seriously though, you think you have feelings for him? Cause I know for a fact that nigga has had a thing for you since the first day he met you!! 'Bout time somethin' is gon' happen about it!" Nicki was relieved to be hearing all of this come from Candi and Lauren, but a little worried about what she was going to do about Drake.
"Ok, Imma talk to him 'bout it but I need to talk to Drake first." She looked over at the clock on the wall. "Faree should be home soon, then we gotta go give Drake a ride home so I better go get dressed huh?" She looked down at her robe, she felt like she had been living in it for days even though it had only been one day and she was glad to be getting out of the house.
"Yeah, we gotta go anyways, two assignments due tomorrow...trust us you ain't missin' anything at school 'part from ridiculous deadlines!" Candi cackled as she hugged Nicki goodbye, followed by Lauren.
"See you soon Nic, we'll come 'round on Saturday....and our lil nephew is gon' officially be a six month old bump!" Lauren squealed excitedly before blowing two kisses, one for Nicki and one for the baby. The house grew silent as soon as they shut the door behind them, leaving her with her loud thoughts.
***Two Hours Later***
Nicki was sat fully dressed waiting for Safaree to get home, it was almost 11pm and she had missed a text from Drake at 7pm when she was showering. All that was in the message was the address of the place he needed picking up from, nothing else. No 'love you' or a little 'x' like he usually did and this made Nicki moody.
"I'm stayin' up and 'wake for his nigga ass, and thas all I get!?" She muttered angrily to herself as she repositioned the way she was sitting, she was finding it hard to sit, lay or sleep comfortably anymore, her bump was just getting in her way. She exhaled slowly as she felt a tightening across her bump."Calm, Onika. Be calm." She slowly rubbed her tummy and tried to soothe away the feeling and it actually worked causing her to smile proudly.
"Wuchoo grinnin' at?" She turned and saw Safaree coming through the front door, dumping his bags at the foot of the frame.
"Oh, just somethin' Lauren said earlier." She lied, not wanting Safaree to stress about the feeling she just had, Klara had already told her she would experience them so she was prepared.
"Yo, you ready to go then or what?" He walked over towards the couch Nicki was half laying, half sitting on.
"Gimme chance, coon! It's gon't take me at least two minutes to get up off of this damn couch!" Safaree extended his arm out to help her up and she willingly took it.
"Thank you sir." She replied in her British accent causing Safaree to chuckle a little and shake his head.
"Oh yeah and guess what?!" She had almost forgotten to tell him. The were now sat in the car on their way to the address Drake had given them when she remembered.
"What?" He didn't look at her as he was watching the road, he didn't like driving in the dark especially with a pregnant Nicki sat in the passenger seat.
"My Mom visited today." Safaree whipped his head around to look at her, for only two seconds before looking back to the road.
"Seriously?! What happened?" Nicki spent the remainder of the journey, which to their annoyance took almost thirty-five minutes, telling him about how surprisingly well things had gone with her mother and how happy she was to have seen her and Caiah again. Once she had finished the car dipped back in to silence as Safaree concentrated on the road signs, before recognising the one he needed and pulled on to the neighbourhood street.
"This nigga's just lucky I ain't gotta be up early!" He looked around as he pulled up to the house. "Nic, Ion know about this area...it don't seem too safe, you sure you ok to go in alone?" Nicki looked around nervously before answering him.
"....Yeah, and if anything happens I know you're out here, right?" She looked at him hopefully.
"You bet yo' pregnant ass I am!" He answered as she hopped out of the car. She walked up the pathway, careful not to trip on anything and knocked on the door unsurely. All she could hear was loud music blaring and lots of voices....it kind of sounded like a party.
"What do you want kid?!" A husky voice asked aggressively as the door swung open. She shifted uncomfortably.
"I'm lookin' for Drake, he wants a ride home..." He squinted at her and stepped aside to let her in.
"Oh damn, Drizzy was right 'bout that ass of yours!" He tapped her ass as she walked past and she turned around quickly.
"Excuse me?! Get yo' damn hands off me nigga!" She spat in rage.
"Hell, he was right about the attitude too!" Was all she heard as he slumped back off in to another room laughing. At that moment she saw Drake walking, or stumbling more like it, towards her. She was so pissed off with him, she felt the fury building up inside.
"Hey baby...I'm soo g-glad you came, I wan' you to come meet some pals of mine." He was slurring so bad she could hardly understand him and his eyes were glassy and bloodshot. Before she could protest he had grabbed her hand and pulled her into a lounge room packed with stoned guys, there were bottles and cans all over the place and she could only just make out peoples faces because of the thick smoke lingering in the air.
'Errbody..this, this is Nicki!" He stood her in front of him and everyone turned to look at her, they all looked like a bunch of perverts the way they were staring at her with their mouths gaping open.
"Drake! Let go of me you fuckin' asshole, I shouldn't even be in here with all of this smoke and shit!" She motioned to the polluted air around her and marched towards the front door. All she could hear was the guys 'oohing and aahing' at her bitch moment. Before she could get hold of the door handle she was pushed sideways forcefully and rammed into the wall next to the door with her back pressed against it....
*Dun Dun Duuuuuuun!! Like I promised....Safaree has returned...only for lil bit though sorry!

"Bae, it's me Drake.

"But seriously though, you think you have feelings for him? Cause I know for a fact that nigga has had a thing for you since the first day he met you!! 'Bout time somethin' is gon' happen about it!" Nicki was relieved to be hearing all of this come from Candi and Lauren, but a little worried about what she was going to do about Drake.
"Ok, Imma talk to him 'bout it but I need to talk to Drake first." She looked over at the clock on the wall. "Faree should be home soon, then we gotta go give Drake a ride home so I better go get dressed huh?" She looked down at her robe, she felt like she had been living in it for days even though it had only been one day and she was glad to be getting out of the house.
"Yeah, we gotta go anyways, two assignments due tomorrow...trust us you ain't missin' anything at school 'part from ridiculous deadlines!" Candi cackled as she hugged Nicki goodbye, followed by Lauren.
"See you soon Nic, we'll come 'round on Saturday....and our lil nephew is gon' officially be a six month old bump!" Lauren squealed excitedly before blowing two kisses, one for Nicki and one for the baby. The house grew silent as soon as they shut the door behind them, leaving her with her loud thoughts.
***Two Hours Later***
Nicki was sat fully dressed waiting for Safaree to get home, it was almost 11pm and she had missed a text from Drake at 7pm when she was showering. All that was in the message was the address of the place he needed picking up from, nothing else. No 'love you' or a little 'x' like he usually did and this made Nicki moody.
"I'm stayin' up and 'wake for his nigga ass, and thas all I get!?" She muttered angrily to herself as she repositioned the way she was sitting, she was finding it hard to sit, lay or sleep comfortably anymore, her bump was just getting in her way. She exhaled slowly as she felt a tightening across her bump."Calm, Onika. Be calm." She slowly rubbed her tummy and tried to soothe away the feeling and it actually worked causing her to smile proudly.
"Wuchoo grinnin' at?" She turned and saw Safaree coming through the front door, dumping his bags at the foot of the frame.
"Oh, just somethin' Lauren said earlier." She lied, not wanting Safaree to stress about the feeling she just had, Klara had already told her she would experience them so she was prepared.
"Yo, you ready to go then or what?" He walked over towards the couch Nicki was half laying, half sitting on.
"Gimme chance, coon! It's gon't take me at least two minutes to get up off of this damn couch!" Safaree extended his arm out to help her up and she willingly took it.
"Thank you sir." She replied in her British accent causing Safaree to chuckle a little and shake his head.
"Oh yeah and guess what?!" She had almost forgotten to tell him. The were now sat in the car on their way to the address Drake had given them when she remembered.
"What?" He didn't look at her as he was watching the road, he didn't like driving in the dark especially with a pregnant Nicki sat in the passenger seat.
"My Mom visited today." Safaree whipped his head around to look at her, for only two seconds before looking back to the road.
"Seriously?! What happened?" Nicki spent the remainder of the journey, which to their annoyance took almost thirty-five minutes, telling him about how surprisingly well things had gone with her mother and how happy she was to have seen her and Caiah again. Once she had finished the car dipped back in to silence as Safaree concentrated on the road signs, before recognising the one he needed and pulled on to the neighbourhood street.
"This nigga's just lucky I ain't gotta be up early!" He looked around as he pulled up to the house. "Nic, Ion know about this area...it don't seem too safe, you sure you ok to go in alone?" Nicki looked around nervously before answering him.
"....Yeah, and if anything happens I know you're out here, right?" She looked at him hopefully.
"You bet yo' pregnant ass I am!" He answered as she hopped out of the car. She walked up the pathway, careful not to trip on anything and knocked on the door unsurely. All she could hear was loud music blaring and lots of voices....it kind of sounded like a party.
"What do you want kid?!" A husky voice asked aggressively as the door swung open. She shifted uncomfortably.
"I'm lookin' for Drake, he wants a ride home..." He squinted at her and stepped aside to let her in.
"Oh damn, Drizzy was right 'bout that ass of yours!" He tapped her ass as she walked past and she turned around quickly.
"Excuse me?! Get yo' damn hands off me nigga!" She spat in rage.
"Hell, he was right about the attitude too!" Was all she heard as he slumped back off in to another room laughing. At that moment she saw Drake walking, or stumbling more like it, towards her. She was so pissed off with him, she felt the fury building up inside.
"Hey baby...I'm soo g-glad you came, I wan' you to come meet some pals of mine." He was slurring so bad she could hardly understand him and his eyes were glassy and bloodshot. Before she could protest he had grabbed her hand and pulled her into a lounge room packed with stoned guys, there were bottles and cans all over the place and she could only just make out peoples faces because of the thick smoke lingering in the air.
'Errbody..this, this is Nicki!" He stood her in front of him and everyone turned to look at her, they all looked like a bunch of perverts the way they were staring at her with their mouths gaping open.
"Drake! Let go of me you fuckin' asshole, I shouldn't even be in here with all of this smoke and shit!" She motioned to the polluted air around her and marched towards the front door. All she could hear was the guys 'oohing and aahing' at her bitch moment. Before she could get hold of the door handle she was pushed sideways forcefully and rammed into the wall next to the door with her back pressed against it....
