Enough Crying....

*Not to much going on but it's ONIKAFAREE so they cute and you will love whatever they talk about!*

It was the day before Nicki and Safaree were to be released from the hospital.  They had gotten the hospital to move Safaree down on the floor Nicki was on because he refused to let her out of his sight. They sat in the room playing speed and Nicki was losing badly. Everyone sat around just watching them and laughing at Nicki trying to guilt Safaree into letting her have the last win because he "cheated". Safaree wasn't falling for it.

"No Nicki I didn't cheat. It is not my fault you are slow at this game. Why would you pick a game called Speed if your not fast."

"Safaree shut up. I don't want to play with you any more."

"Aww baby girl play nice." Her father said.

"Daddy but he is cheating."

"No he is not. I can't believe you still pull this. You use to do this to Jelani when you two were younger." Mrs. Carol said.

"Mommy he cheated too. They never play fair."

"Onika stop it." her fatherr said. Safaree sat back laughing at her being scolded by her parents. Nicki glared at them all and proceeded to tell Safaree off. Christina walked in the room while Nicki and Safaree were going back and forth with each other.

"Okay you two stop. Is this all you two do HB? Every time I walk in here yall going at each other."

"Hey Barb no we don't. But he started it this time." Safaree snapped his head back towards her.

"WHAT?"

"Shut up." Nicki said pointing at him.

"Well I need to check your blood pressure again Nicki and Safaree I need to change your bandage." Christina said.She moved around their makeshift bedroom. There was food containers, soda bottles, water bottles, and takeout menus everywhere. She didn't care as long as they cleaned it up when they left. She went to Nicki first and checked her pressure. She looked at the machine then to Nicki. Nicki new that look.

"Nicki what have you been eating?"

"Nothing barb." Nicki said smiling.

"Don't give me that Barb crap. Mrs. Carol what has she been eating?"

"Just the salads that I've been giving her and the Salmon she has been craving?" Christina eyed Nicki, but she wouldn't make eye contact back. Christina looked over at Safaree.

"You!" she pointed.

"Me?" he said pointed at himself.

"Yes you."

"What I do?"

"Did you give her any of that god awful Baconator sandwich you had yesterday from Wendys?" Safaree was never a good liar. Nicki rolled her eyes and sucked her teeth.

"No." he said.

"Your lying." she turned to Nicki.

"Nicki that is not turkey bacon."

"I know Tina but it smelled so good. It was just one bite." It was now SB turn to suck his teeth. Nicki  ate half of his sandwich last night. Nicki rolled her eyes and giggled.

"I bet. Don't eat anymore." Pop! Safaree grabbed the back of his head and looked back.

"What was that for?' he asked.

"For giving her that burger." Mrs. Carol said. Everyone broke out into laughter. Christina walked over to Safaree and gave him an evil eye.

"What?" he said. She said nothing just pulled the tape off his shoulder to change the bandage. The room fell silent. They all made Safaree the center of their attention. Seeing his wound was a reminder of what had taken place not many days ago. Nicki started having flashbacks, while silently letting tears fall. Safaree looked over at her then looked away.

"Can we close the curtain." Christina looked up, then around.

"Oh. Sure." She did as asked. She mouthed the words "Sorry." to Safaree. Nicki put her hands on both sides of her face and began rocking back and forth trying to get rid of the mental pictures she had of Melanie and the gun. Her father got up and wrapped his arms around her while reassuring her it would be alright.


Later that Night after everyone had gone Nicki lay in the bed with Safaree as comfortable as they could. She kept staring at his bandage which was ticking Safaree off. He didn't want her thinking about it, he couldn't wait for it to heal.

"Will focus on something else please!" He said. She looked up at him.

"I'm sorry but I just can't help thinking it's my fault. I shouldn't have taken you from her."

"I will not let you sit there and beat yourself up over this. It's Melanies fault only. Don't dwell on it Nicki."

"Okay it's forgotten babe. Lips." he bent down giving her a slight peck. But leave it to Nicki to turn it into much more than what he was going for. Their tongues did a dance around each other. The longer they went the hotter it got and the more Nicki craved Safaree.

"Nicki stop."

"Why?" she whined.

"I'm not having sex in a hospital bed, plus I'm not having sex period while your pregnant. You already had a scare with bleeding a couple days ago. I can't and won't."

"Safaree it has been close to eight months since the last time we have had sex. Are you telling me you don't miss me?"

"What do you mean miss you I'm with you now."

"NO! I mean Miss me." She placed his hand on her breast while kissing his neck and slipping her hand under his gown and into his boxers.

"Oh shit Nicki." Her hands were warm and wrapped around him so nicely. "How are your movements all quick when it comes to this but when we were playing cards earlier you were as slow as molasses in January?" She smiled while sucking on his earlobe.

"Shh. Let me have him." AS hard as she was making him and the situation he couldn't. He moved her hand.

"I can't Nicki. Your just going to have to wait until after those six weeks are up."

"Just know that when I get all cranky and you get all pissed off about, remember you could have avoided it all." She got out of the bed.

"Where are you going?" he gripped her waist.

"You asking me to stay here in this bed after being deprived of sex is like asking a person that hasn't eaten in two months not to touch the buffet in front of them. It ain't gonna be a pretty sight for the buffet." she got out the bed and climbed into hers.

"You still love me?" he said.

"Of course I do you big doof. You love me?" He shook his head yes. "No I want to hear you say it out loud."

"I love you."

"How much?"

"More than all the rhythms, in all the rhymes, in all the raps, in all the world."

"Awww your such a cornball, and I love it." Nicki said cheesing hard.

"Whatever, go to sleep dwarf." He got more comfortable under the comforter Candi brought them from home.

"I can't wait to sleep in my own bed tomorrow night."

"Yeah this bed sucks balls."

"Safaree don't say that." Nicki said. She was dozing off quickly.

"Sorry I take it back." He hit the button to turn off the lights on his remote.

The next morning Nicki was dressed and ready to go. She was sitting by the window speaking with Christina. They had been talking for some hours. Christina got there a couple hours early to say goodbye to Nicki. Yeah she was a a nurse but when it came to Nicki she was a Barb first. She didn't know when she would see her again.

"I want to thank you for being such a professional for our stay here."

"It's no problem Nicki, but trust me it was hard. I wanted to hound you with so many questions." She smiled.

"Well here is your pass Tina ask me anything." Christina rolled somethings around in her head then looked back at Nicki.

"HB most of it is idle gossip that I don't want you to have to hear so It's okay. Oh I got one, what are you going to name the babies?"

"You know what barb if I knew I really would tell you but that is something me and Safaree have yet to talk about. But how bout this when I figure it out and I tell my parents and close friends you will be the first Barb to know. How does that sound?"

"That sounds amazing Nicki. Thank you." She pulled Nicki into a hug.

"You mean when WE figure the names out." Safaree said standing up out of the bed and stretching. They looked his way and Christinas jaw dropped. Nickis eyes grew wide and her hand flew to cover Christinas eyes.

"Safaree." Nicki said.

"What?" he looked at her then followed her eyes. "Oh shit." he ran into the bathroom.

"Shout out to morning wood." Christina said. Nicki Gasped.

"Barb, you saw nothing."

"Girl if that's nothing then I need a "Nothing" in my life." She did air quotes. Nicki squealed.

"Your a mess. Do you have a boyfriend Christina?"

"Yes." Nick looked at her waiting for more.

"Well what's his name?"

"Darnelle."

"I'm trying to have girl talk here and your clamming up on me."

"Oh! Well he is 5'11, deep waves, milk chocolate skin. He has the brownest eyes, I get lost in them at times. Deep waves and  the body of a God. I call him choir boy, he can sing his butt off Nicki. He doesn't do it in front of people often but when he sings for me" she sighed. "It's like a little piece of heaven." Nicki smiled at the excitement that took over Christinas face when she spoke about him. Safaree came out of the bathroom and She looked his way and frowned.

"Why don't you sing for me Faree?" She asked. He looked her way.

"It's not my thing. I like making you sing." he said wiggling his eyebrows and grinning.

"You ain't been making nothing sing while you trying to front." His smile disappeared quickly.

"Don't start." he said grabbing his clothes and heading back to the bathroom to shower.

"Well you shouldn't have brought it up."

"Yall are true lunatics. Well HB I have to go make my rounds but I will be back later with your discharge papers.

"Okay Christina sounds like a plan."

@ Nickis House


When they walked in the house three hours later Nicki was hit with an aroma of smells. She knew her mother was there because it smelled like pine-sol and white tea Lilly air freshener. Along with the smell of her mothers beef stew. Safaree took her bag and went to put it in her room, while Nicki headed towards all the laughter in the kitchen. She poked her head in the room.

 "Hello everyone." Sporadic "Hey's" filled the room.  "He mommy." She walked up and hugged her.


"Hi Onika." She handed her a bowl and a spoon, then scooted her towards the table. "Vincent let her have this seat dear." He grabbed his bowl still feeding his face and moved to the stool. Safaree walked into the kitchen and looked over all the people.


"Why are all yall here?" he said walking towards Mrs. Carol giving her a kiss on the cheek.


"Mama Carol said she was cooking, so we decided to stay and help her get rid of it since we know you don't like left overs." Mrs. Carol smiled at him.


"I eat leftovers." Vincent looked at Lauren.


"Lauren I thought you siad Nicki said that she always cooking because he don't--" Lauren kicked him and mouthed "No." "Ow! What did u do that for?"


"Shut up you talk to much." She said in a hush tone. Safaree looked over at Nicki, she just stuffed her mouth with more food and smiled. He rolled his eyes and went to go get food.


"Maybe I don't eat her leftovers because they don't taste as good as Mrs. Carols." He said so only Mrs. Carol could hear. She giggled.


"What did he say mama?" Nicki asked.


"Nothing Onika finish your food." She winked at Safaree then handed him his bowl of Stew. She put another spoonful in her mouth giving both a funny look. Safaree went to sit next to her but she put her foot in the chair.  "Onika!" She looked over at her mother then moved her foot.


"Why are you being rude to me? See if I rub you crusty feet tonight." He blessed his food then began to eat.


"Okay I'm sorry don't mean to me i'm carrying your kids."


"Don't use my kids to get what you want." He laughed. It was now just them in the kitchen. Everyone had finished eating and Mama Carol had put the dishes in the dishwasher, then went to join the rest in the living room.


"Scooch closer to me Faree." Nicki said in her baby voice. He moved closer to her and she leaned her head on him. "I'm happy to be home."


"I'm happy your here too babe. I'm ready for us to get back to our lives." He kissed her on her forehead.


"Ewlll why was your kiss so juicy boy?" She wiped her head.


"I got big lips." he smiled.


"Mhhmm and I love those lips." a big roar of laughter filled the air. "I love my family but I want my house to myself."


"Well get ready to see them a little while longer because we have to go to New York for your appointment with Dr. Reynolds on Wednesday."


"That's in two days." She sighed she knew she had to go. "I'm not ready to deal with the press about this."


"Well you have to address it Nicki. And put that punk ass nigga in jail." Safaree said getting heated again.


"Calm down babe. Drake may have been wrong for being in on it initially but he wasn't trying to harm me Safaree." She got up to put her bowl in the sink.


"Are you trying to tell me your not going to press charges against him Onika?" He got up with his blood boiling.


"He didn't want to hurt me Safaree." She said bracing herself on the sink with her back to him.


"Fuck the Bullshit Nicki. Why do you always want to protect him?"


"I don't want to protect him, I--"


"Yes you do, It's like he has an hold on you." Safaree interrupted her. Everyone had heard them arguing. Mrs. Carol asked everyone to leave so they could have their privacy. Her and Mr. Maraj took the rental they had and left as well.


"It was Melanie who orchestrated the whole thing. That psychotic bitch is the one that had me kidnapped."


"Don't try and act like he didn't know. He could have easily warned you what was going to happen."


"Safaree I don't want to do this with you okay. Let's talk about this later please."


"Yeah maybe we should because for some reason I don't think your thinking clearly. You need to go to sleep and try it again. He was in on something that put your unborn children in danger Nicki" He left her standing in the kitchen. Safaree couldn't look at her.


Nicki did not know what she wanted to do. She could never forget what Drake had did to her. He was wrong in every sense of the word, she thought they were family. She had been thinking about this for days now. She wanted Melanie in jail for sure but with Drake she just didn't know. She sighed and tried to put it to the back of her mind for right now. She walked and tried to go find Safaree. She was tired of their relationship going through all these emotions, Nicki just wanted to be happy. She found him in the theater staring at the blank screen in the front row.


"Safaree." She said. He looked up the stairs at her then turned back around. She grabbed the rail and made her way down to him. She needed them to work and she knew that that means talking out their problems even when she did not want to. "Safaree." She said standing in front of him but he looked off to the side. "I know you hear me." She moved his arm and sat in his lap.

"Nicki just leave me alone." he tried putting her in the next seat but she wouldn't budge.

"No Safaree we need to talk. If we don't tension will just build and that's not good for us. So talk to me with out yelling and I'll do the same."

"Your not going away are you?" She shook her head no. "Nicki I love you with all my heart, that man put my children and you in harms way and you don't want to punish him for it. And i'm failing to see why!"

"Before this incident Drake was family. When your family messes up do you crucify them for their actions Safaree?"

"No Nicki but this is not a little fuck up and you know it."

"Safaree I hear you. I will take everything you said into consideration but I won't make a decision out of anger."

"Your sending Melanie to jail."

"Melanie is going to jail for more reasons than my kidnapping. She physically attacked me Safaree as well as held a gun to my head more than once while I was there. She was going to kill me so yeah you damn right she is going to jail. But her herself said Drake just wanted to talk to me."

"I'm done fighting with you on this. It's your decision to make at the end of the day. I just really want this to go away."

"I do to. If your thinking that he will be around then get that out of your head. He will never be in my life after this."

"Thanks for easing my mind about that."

"No problem. Babe we have to stop arguing it's not going to be good for us in the long run. Like when we get married I won't have this." She stared at the big screen and made a mental not to have her maid service clean it the next time they come.

"What did you say?" Safaree asked. She turned back around.

"I said no more arguing."

"No after that." She smiled.

"When we get married." She started smiling.

"You want to marry me?"

"Eventually. I'm not going through all this bullshit for nothing. I love your crazy ass and all that Comes with you." She rubbed the back of his head laughing.

"That's good to know."

"But babe don't ask anytime soon we are so not ready for marriage."

"Don't worry I will know when the time is right." She side eyed him.

"How?"

"I'm a man, we just know these things."

"Oh Gawd. Let's go back upstairs. Carry me Faree."

"I'm not trying to call you fat or nothing but Nic your not as light as you were."

"Ugh fine." she turned around and started towards the stairs. All of sudden her feet left the floor. Safaree picked her up in his arms and headed up the stairs. "Thanks babe." When they made it back to the living room they noticed that they were the only ones there.

"Guess we forgot we had company."

"They probably heard us arguing." She called her mom. "Hey were are you guys at?" she listened. "Oh okay, well see you when you get back."

"What she say?"

"She said we needed our privacy so her and daddy went out for awhile."

"Well I'm bout to go outside and wash the cars."

"Why don't you just go to the car wash?"

"Hey you have your therapeutic stuff and I have mine."

"If you say so."

"Go read or whatever it is you feel." He hit her on her butt.

"Hey what did I tell you. If your not going to hit it properly then don't come near it." She said giving him a cutesy look.

"You know I hit right every time. Wait till you drop that load it's over fah that ass."

"Looking forward to it sexy daddy." she giggled and left into the game room.

Later that Night



Nicki laid next to an exhausted Safaree and laid her head on his chest. She wanted pillow talk.

"Safaree."

"Hmm babe?"

"Are you excited about the babies, their almost here?"

"Yes. I can't wait to meet them." Safaree said slowly falling asleep.

"Are you gonna hold them all the time and never let them go?"

"Mmmhmm."

"Are you going to buy them ponys, unicorns and all that stuff when they ask for them."

"Yep." he rubbed his face and sunk lower into the bed.

"Are you going to kick all the boys butts that try and talk to the girls?"

"Damn right I am." he said. She giggled.

"Are you--"

"Nicki.'

"Huh?"

"Go to sleep."

"I'm not sleepy."

"Well let me be then woman i'm tired."

"Fine I'll just go somewhere else."

"Stay on this side of the house where I can here you."

"Yes masta." She said in her slave voice and got out the bed. "You wanna kiss your kids before you go to sleep. He reached out his arms. She walked around the bed and lifted her shirt. He sat up and grabbed her tummy and kissed it three times, once for each baby. She left the room and went to the library and found a Zane book to read again. Since she wasn't getting any she decided she need to read about someone getting the pipe. She picked Addicted and began reading. Twenty minutes later Safaree came into the room she looked up.

"What are you doing up?"

"I can't sleep without you there."

"You want me to comeback to bed?"

"No. What are you reading?" He tilted the book. "Why are you reading this freak book?"

"Because you won't let me be great." She said continuing to read.

"Read out lout to me." He said laying his head in her lap.

"Why you wanna hear freak book?" She asked.

"Just read." She picked up where she left off. And read to him until she heard him snoring then silently read until she fell asleep.
