And the Feeling Goes On...

"Safaree I wanna see my Barbs." Nicki was sitting in the game room with him watching him play dance central on the kinect. She felt like she had been neglecting them even before the Melanie fiasco. Now she didn't want to tweet because she didn't want them to get all worked up about the situation. She looked up to see him rolling his body to Bell Biv DeVoe - Poison. "Hey did you hear me?"

"Yes I heard you babe."

"Well?"

"Well What?"

"Think of something."

"Why do I have to think of something for you to do with your fans?"

"Hey they love you, don't try and play them." She said putting another 100 calorie Oreo in her mouth. "I want to see them before I have the babies because I won't be able to do much after with them for awhile."

"Well I think of something."

"Thank you." She looked at his shirt and it was soaked. She began laughing. "You got dance fever. Like why are you sweating so hard?"

"Girl you don't see these moves, I got skills girl." he started singing along with the track.

"Oh so since you can do the hard routine you think your a regular Michael?"

"Michael ain't got nothing on me." he started dancing harder, which made her laugh harder.

"Stop! Please." She wiped her tears away. "I can't breath." He looked back at her with his Dead face.

"It's not that funny." he really thought he was doing well.

"Aw babe don't be mad." Nicki said trying to keep her composure but failed and began laughing even harder.

"Man forget you." He walked out of the room.

"No Safaree wait. I'm not laughing at you I'm laughing at the dance steps." Even she didn't believe that lie. He was gone anyway. "So sensitive these days. I'm supposed to be the pregnant one." She tried pushing her self off the couch a couple of times but failed, she huffed. "SAFAREE!" She yelled. "SAFAREE COME HELP ME!" still no answer. "Onika you and your big mouth. Learn to be quiet sometimes." She spoke to herself trying to figure out how to get up. "Why did we get this big deep ass couch anyway." she sat and thought. "Because it's comfortable that's why." she answered her question. "Whoa I'm talking to myself now, I need to find a hobby." She slid to the floor then rolled over on her knees and pushed herself up to her feet. She smiled big feeling accomplished and waddled out the door to find Safaree.

Safaree had went into the weight room to pump a little iron. Nicki heard ESPN blaring from a T.V. and knew he had to be in the weight room because that is the only place he watched the show. Safaree looked up and seen her coming into the room and chuckled a little.

"What you laughing at?" she said walking up to him.

"You waddle now." he said watching her still.

"I do not waddle." She planted a kiss on his lips once she made it to him.

"If you say so." he laced up his shoes tighter.

"Well I do say so. Are you about to get sexy for me daddy?" she checked out his backside as he bent over. Safaree looked back at her.

"Stop oggaling me. And stop calling me daddy, you know I like that now get out of here i don't want you to trip on anything and hurt your self." Nicki rolled her eyes.

"Well if you clean up every once and a while, it would be nothing for me to trip over." She looked around the room.

"It's not messy it is just in centers. See over here i have my dumbbells for when I do my curls. Over here is the treadmill, in that corner bench press."

"And what's this machine do?" She asked sitting down on it. He turned around.

"Oh that works my triceps. I hit that up on the days I wanna get a little freaky in the bead room, I can't be dropping my baby." She smirked. She looked up at him.

"You play to much, why would you even bring up that topic knowing you are playing games."

"That's my fault." he went to start his arm curls. "Are you going to watch me?"

"Yes. I don't have anything else to do. I don't want to talk to the barbs because they will want a full explanation of what happen and I'm not ready to talk about it yet. So I'm stuck with you."

"Oh gee thanks for the love." he said with no emotion while trying to concentrate on not straining his muscles. Nicki giggled as she leaned over to pick up the three pound dumbbell and started Mimicking Safarees movement while she sat.

"Babe think of a hobby for me to do." She staring out the window into their big backyard.

"Why do i always have to come up with things for you to do. Use that big brain you say you have and figure something out. I still have to think of something for you and the Barbs to do when we get back from New york." Nicki furrowed her brow still looking out the window. Safaree looked at her again and noticed she had a weight in her hand. What are you doing back there sweetness?"

"I'm trying to get buff too." She said in a small but cute voice smiling. He switched hands as did she. "I want arms like Janet, you know muscular yet still feminine." There was silence between them; the only thing that could be heard was the anchorman on the television. "I got it."

"Nicki I doubt you got Janets arms that quickly." Safaree said putting the bell down then shacking his arms out. Nicki put hers down as well.

"No not that, my hobby. I know what I want to do."

"Well tell me it is." He walked over to the treadmill.

"I want to make a garden in the backyard."

"A garden Nicki." she shook her head yes.

"What do you think?"

"If that's what you want I say go for it."

"Yeah. I mean we aren't doing anything with the land beyond the pool area." she walked to the window trying to envision the garden.

"What type of garden do you want?"

"I want a flower and a vegetable garden."

"When do you want to start this hobby of yours?" he was running now.

"I guess when we get back. Maybe the Barbs could come and help me." He saw the wheels turning in her head.

"Nicki you do know what your saying right?"

"What do you mean?" She asked him still in deep thought.

"You saying you want to bring them to your House." he put emphasis on the word 'house'.

"I'll get the Barbs I know I can trust." She waved him off.

"Don't get all testy with me, you came in here." She looked at him.

"I'm sorry babe. I'll leave you to yourself." she turned to leave.

"I didn't mean I wanted you to leave Nicki."

"I know but I'm going to go out back for awhile." Safaree had a worried look on his face. "Calm down I'll just be right outside." She smiled showing her dimple.

"Yeah last time you were just down the hill, then poof no more you for a week." Nicki rolled her eyes at his dramatics.

"Babe you'll be watching from the window so I'll be fine right? Your gonna come get me if you see something going wrong right?" Nicki said with full confidence.

"Yes."

"Well then can I go?" He looked at her.

"Why do you wanna go out there, its cold." he said.

"Safaree I have a coat, so I'm going." She turned around and left the room. He was hot on her trail. "Don't try and stop me Safaree."

"I'm not, I'm going with you." She shook her head.

"I don't need a babysitter. I'm a grown woman." When she got to the bottom of the stairs she walked over to the closet to retrieve her coat.

"Where are you going Nicki?" Mrs. Carol asked.

"To the back yard mom." Safaree handed Nicki a scarf. It was not that cold but she took for the sake of an argument.

"May I ask why?"

"I'm going to start a garden."

"Today?"

"No when we come back from New York." She walked through the kitchen to the back hallway and opened the door to the backyard. Their pool was covered with a blue tarp, and the chairs where folded and in the back shed. It was bare out back. She walked around the pool into the grassed area and stood envisioning her garden. She wanted the vegetables to be in the middle and the flowers to grow around them. Safaree walked up next to her and stood.

"So this is going to be your garden eh?"

"Mhmm. I want roses, chrysanthemums, lilies, orchids, all the pretty ones. No ugly flowers in my garden."

"Babe I don't want to discourage you but do you tink they will grow in the winter." Nicki looked at him.

"Oh, I didn't think about that." she got sad.

"I'm sure there are flowers that grow in the winter. I'll help you find some so you can start your garden, besides we live in L.A. so it shouldn't get that cold." He wrapped an arm around her shoulder and kissed her forehead. "Let's get my kids inside."

"Our kids." she said.

"Yeah our kids that's what I said." They laughed.

Next Day @ Dr. Reynolds Office

Safaree opened the door to the waiting room and Nicki walked in and up to the receptionist. She was on the phone so Nicki stood silently waiting, while Safaree took a seat. He was excited because they were again going to see if they could find out what the third baby was. No matter how many times he was disappointed, Safaree was always excited to try again.

"I'm sorry Ms. Maraj for the wait. How are you today." Leah said.

"It's fine Leah I'm just wanted to let you know I was here. Do I need to sign any papers today before I go back?"

"Let me check." She pulled up Nickis records on the computer and looked over them. "No your all up to date. You can have a seat and I'll let April know your hear."

"Okay."

 Nicki went and eased into the chair next to Safaree. He was reading Parenthood magazine.

"What are you reading about?"

"Which formulas are not good for the baby."

"I'm breast feeding SB." Safaree looked at her.

"When did you decide that?"

"I was always going to breast feed."

"I didn't know that but okay." He kept reading the article because he knows Nicki will change her mind in a minute. They sat there in silence while waiting on April to come get them. Safaree thinking about the sex of the babies and Nicki remembering that they still hadn't picked out baby names. They had a little less than a month before she had to have the babies.

"Safaree we still haven't picked out any names for the girls. I think we need to start figuring them out." She reached for his hand and he accepted it.

"I have a half a notebook full of names I thought of already." he turned the page in his magazine.

"Since when?"

"Since like a week after you told me about them. I have a girl name section and a boy name section. The boy section is not as long because I don't know what the last one is going to be and I have a feeling it's going to be a girl."

"Why haven't you shown me the notebook before Faree?"

"I honestly don't know Nic. I'm sorry I'll show you when we get home."

"I feel bad now that I really haven't put much thought into the names yet."

"Well with all you have been through and trying to get other things ready for the babies, I can understand that."

"You have been through things to Safaree and you still made time to think of names. I feel like a bad mother already." She pouted. Safaree closed the magazine and turned to look at her.

"Your a great mother Nicki. You have been doing everything you can to make sure they are safe and healthy  until they come into this world. Some women can't and won't do that before or after they give birth. So I won't let you make yourself feel bad about not thinking of a name. The names will come to us in no time, so calm your nerves."

"Thank you Safaree. I needed that."

"That's what I'm here for Nic to be your support system." Nicki leaned over and pecked him on the lips.

"Onika." April called out. Safaree and Nicki stood and walked to the back with April. When they reached the room and were behind closed doors April pulled Nicki into a hug.

"Oh my God, I heard what happen. Are you okay?"

"Yes April I'm fine. Other than a couple of scratches and a bruised cheek, I'm fine. So you can stop squeezing the air out of me." April let go of her.

"I'm sorry, I was just worried about you when you missed your appointment. Then Dr. Reynolds informed me on what was going on and I've been nothing but a bundle of nerves ever since." Nicki smiled at her.

"Well you can calm yourself. You see me and I'm in good health." Nicki used the step stool and sat on the table.

"Ow." Safaree yelled out. "What did you hit me for?" He looked at April.

"Where the hell where you when it happen?" Nicki chuckled.

"I was getting candy." he looked at Nicki. "Ow." April hit him again.

"You left her alone for candy?"

"She said she was okay." She raised her hand again. "If you hit me again I will toss your little ass out that window." She lowered her hand glared at him.

"You two are a trip." The door swung open and in entered Dr. Reynolds.

"Hows my favorite patient doing?" she asked with her southern accent.

"I bet you say that to all your patients." Nicki said twisting her lips to the side.

"Now darlin' you know I never say anything I don't mean." She sat on her stool and grabbed Nickis hand. "How you feellin' baby girl?"

"I feel as well as to be expected. I haven't had any problems with the babies."

"That's good to hear." She picked up the folder April had on the counter and noticed that she hadn't taken her vitals yet. "April what have you been doing in hear if you weren't doing what I pay you to do?"

"Beating me." Safaree spoke up. April mouthed the words 'Shut up' behind Dr. Reynolds back while she laughed. "I'll do it April. I need for you to go down to Mrs. Hills room and draw some blood."

"Yes Dr. Reynolds." April exited the room closing the door behind her.

"You know the routine." Dr. Reynolds said. Nicki stuck her arm out, then lifted her tongue for the thermometer. Dr. Reynolds waited for both machines to get done, while writing in her folder. Safaree went and got two tongue depressors  out of the jar. He walked to the mirror and tried to look down his throat.

"Safawee wha are you dewin? Stowp that." Nicki tried saying with the thermometer in her mouth.

"You hush back there and worry about you." Dr. Reynolds looked up and smiled at Safaree all in the mirror. Beep Beep! Beep Beep! Both Machines went off.

"Both look good Nicki. Are you keeping your stress to a minimum?" She asked.

"As much as this will let me." Safaree looked at her through the mirror with his dead face. Nicki smirked and looked away.

"I'm sure he is not that bad."

"He's alright."

"I'm not here for you." Safaree said.

"Do you want to see if that last child of yours is going to let you know what it is or not?"

"Now that I'm here for." Safaree said sitting down next to Nicki. She rolled her eyes and lifted her black and white snoopy shirt and lowered her black BeBe sweatpants. She awaited the cold gel and grabbed SBs hand, he kissed the back of her hand.

Dr. Reynolds got to moving around the probe looking to see which kid was which. She pushed on Nickis stomach a bit trying to get them to move around.

"Well there are the two girls. Oh look it looks as if they are holding hands." Nicki and Safaree stared at the screen. "Last time one had her elbow in the others side." She moved to the other baby and frowned. "I don't know what it is with this one. It has it's legs crossed now, last time it's hip was towards the probe and he wouldn't budge." She sighed. "Seems like you won't find out what this one is until the day the arrive. We can try again the next time you come in two weeks." Nicki and Safaree were sad about the news.

"Babe don't get down about it okay?" Safaree said to Nicki. She nodded and waited for Dr. Reynolds to finish wiping the gel off her stomach and pulled up her pants.

"Well we are all finished here, are you taking your vitamins regularly Nicki?"

"Yes ma'am." Nicki sighed.

"Alright well I will see you in two weeks."

"Um Mrs. Reynolds may I have a moment with you alone?" Nicki looked at Safaree. He knew what it was about so he went and waited outside the door.

"What's on your mind?"

"I just want to apologize for the way I acted towards you a couple of weeks ago. It was disrespectful and totally out of line.I wasn't raised that way."

"Well thank you Onika. I know it took a lot for you to come and say those words. I never held them against you sweetie. You were upset, as I figured you would be when I made the call. I have been called way worse then what came out of your mouth. I'm a tough old bat, I can take the hits." She smiled at Nicki; Nicki smiled back and hugged her.

2 Days Later back in L.A.


"I have a surprise for you." Safaree said walking into Nickis woman cave A.K.A. her study.

"What is it Safaree?" Nicki said dryly still down about the third baby and not knowing what it was. Safaree pulled out a package wrapped in pretty pink wrapping paper. She reached out for the package, Safaree handed it to her. She unwrapped the package slowly, then stared at its content. "What's this Faree?" She ran her hand over the Bound leather book with their initials stitched into it.

"Open it." She stared at him then opened the book. Her eyes lit up at the photos she looked over.

"Faree." She flipped another page. "When? How?" she asked. He moved behind her and reviewed the pictures along with her.

"Well I was going to ask one of the staff members to do it when we arrived there but when I ran into Martha there I felt like she would be more suitable for the job. Come to find out she had a minor in Photography and her camera was way better than the one I had. That's why she was able to get such close up pictures of us from such a distance." Nicki looked up.

"So that's the girl that I kept seeing? You knew who that was all along and had me going nuts thinking our vacation had been ruined y the paparazzi!"

"Well I wanted all the candid and intimate moments we had to be documented." Nicki gasped. "What?" he looked then laughed.

"What all did she see that night?" Nicki looked wide eyed.

"Nothing, nothing!" he was still laughing. "She said ass soon as she seen what was about to go down she snapped a couple pictures and when you started to kiss all on my body she took off for the night. She said she didn't want to see her HB get down like that." Nicki let out a sigh of relief.

"These are really good pictures, I have to send her something to show my thanks."

"I already did that."

"So, that was for you. I want to send her my own gift busta." SB nudged her and she giggled. "Babe I love this. Thank you for giving me this even though...well you know."

"Don't worry about it Nicki. I'm glad you like it so much. I have another surprise."

"What?" She said looking up at him.

"Come with me." He took her hand and lead her to their bathroom. Safaree had lit aroma therapy candles all around. She looked and saw her favorite chair. How did he get it from her New York apartment to here with out me knowing, she thought.

"What is this Safaree?" he sat her in her chair then removed the bottom part of the chair.

"Well I heard you say how you wanted a pedicure but didn't want to go and get it nor did you want anybody in your house, so I have been looking up some things and I figured I would give you one myself."

"Really?" Nicki looked at him with an uncertain look on her face.

"Yeah, you don't think I can do it?"

"Ummm..."

"Be quiet and just sit back and relax and let me do my thing. You believe in me?"

"Of course!" he leaned up.

"Lips." She kissed him.

"You got my blue sand hoe?" She smiled.

"I got my own shit." he brought out the foot bowl. And went and grabbed his foot soak. He boiled some water then let it cool down for 10 minutes, then added lavender and vanilla oil with some Epson salt. He came back and pored the mixture into the foot bowl. He added white and pink rose petals for a spa feel. He slipped Nickis feet into the water. "Is it to hot for you?"

"No it's perfect." she sighed and laid her head back.

"I'll be back in a minute." he got no response. He went to gather the rest of the things. 15 minutes had passed by the time he came back. Safaree stuck his hand in the water and it was still warm. He picked up Nickis foot which startled her because she had dozed off. "Sorry."

"It's fine." She watched as he got his foot scrubber. She didn't have callouses bad but they had started to form from the long period of time she had been without a pedicure. He added an exfoliating foot scrub then began scrubbing her right foot. She loved how attentive he was. He didn't miss any part of her foot. When he was finished with scrubbing both feet, he turned over the scrubber and smoothed out the bottom of her feet.

"This feels good babe." Nicki said. Safaree broke his concentration and cheesed at her.

"I told you I had you." After drying her feet off he added some peppermint lotion to her feet. He remembered that when she usually gets her feet done they lotion all the way up to her calf', so that's what he did. He massaged the lotion in really good making sure not to be to ruff with her.

He attached the bottom part to her chair back to the rest. Safaree went and dumped the water and threw the flower petals away.

"Don't move."

"I hadn't planned on it sir." he went and grabbed the basket full of O.P.I nail polish he purchased, then headed back to the bathroom.

"Choose one." She opened one eye and looked at what he was talking about.

"Your gonna paint them too?" he sat the basket in her lap. She looked through them all and decided on Strawberry Margarita, then sat back. She figured he couldn't mess it up to much. 20 minutes later Safaree had nail polish all over his hands but he was finished.

"I'm done." Nicki tried looking but her belly got in the way. "Hold on." he went and retrieved his camera and took a picture of her feet, then showed her. To her surprise it wasn't half bad.

"Aww Faree thank you for my pedicure, your so cute babe." She looked at the picture again. "You treat me so good. What did I do to deserve you?"

"I don't know, you just lucked up I guess." They both laughed.

"Hand me my flip flops out of the closet."

"There right here." He pulled them from the side of her chair. He slipped her feet into them and she stood.

"I love you."

"I love you way more." Safaree said.
