Be Thankful...

*Okay so pretend like I never said the afternoon line in the last chapter. I thought about it and came to the conclusion that I didn't wanna do that to you guys just yet. My bad. But I hope you like this chapter tho.


Thursday (Early Thanksgiving Morning)
"Nicki?"

"Hmm?"

"You sleep." Nicki smiled.

"No I'm awake."

Safaree snuggled closer to Nicki and reached around her now full waist rubbing her belly. It was five in the morning and neither could sleep. Both thinking of their future with the other.

"Are we okay baby?" Safaree asked near Nickis ear, she turned over. She wasn't sure how to answer the question.

"Why do you ask that?"

"You know why, all we do is argue lately. One minute we are all hugged up and happy, then we are at each others throat over something small. I don't want us to be that way when the babies are here. They deserve better and if we can't give them that as a couple then we need to go back to just being best friends Nicki."

"Safaree." She sat up in the bed and intertwined their fingers. "We are going to be fine. We...we are just going through a ruff patch, as all couples do. We are both stressed about making sure everything is right for when our children are born." Nicki placed her hand on the side of his face. "I love you Safaree and I never want to live in a world where I can't call you mine. No other man has ever and I don't believe will ever love me the way you do. Please just don't give up on us." Nicki dropped a tear that Safaree wiped away.

"I'm not giving up I just want to be clear on where we stand. I love you as well and I want to always be here by your side. At times it just feels like we are drifting apart and I don't won't to look like a fool fighting for something you don't want. But if you are sure about us then I won't question it." He kissed away her tears and held her until she drifted off to sleep.

Safaree rose out of the bed an hour, later to take a shower and to get ready for his sisters arrival. He walked around the bed.

"Where are you going?" Nicki asked staring at him through the slit of her eyes.

"How do you always know when I get up? I would think you wouldn't feel a thing with all that snoring you were doing." He laughed.

"I don't snore. When you get out of the bed i'm not as warm as i was when you were there." Nicki rubbed the sleep out of her eyes.

"Come shower with me." he stuck his hand out. Nicki scooted to the edge then stood grabbing his hand.

"I have to pee first." Safaree went and turned on the shower making sure the water was a comfortable temperature for both of them. Nicki took scorching hot showers and Safaree couldn't get with it, so he made it as hot as he could stand. He heard the stole flush and the sink turn on. "Babe I want to get a different shower."

"What's wrong with this one?"

"Nothing but I seen this really cool shower in better homes and garden." She took off her clothes and stared at her body in the mirror.

"What's so cool about it?" he stared as well.

"It's a sauna and a shower." she leaned over the sink to get a closer look at her skin, while leaning over milk squirted from her full breast. Safaree bucked his eyes.

"That's weird." she looked at him through the mirror.

"Yeah it happens a lot lately."

"How long is that going to happen?"

"I don't know Safaree, you are the one who reads all the books so you tell me."

"I'll look it up later, now come on and hop in the shower funky." She lifted her arm and sniffed walking passed him.

"I don't stink." Safaree stepped in after her. He pulled her scrunchy off her ponytail. "No Safaree." she turned reaching for it.

"Stop I like when you're hair is down." He pulled her small frame as close as possible to him, her swollen belly bumping his. "It's getting longer and shinier. But that is what the books said it might do."

"Oh really is that what it said?" Nicki gave him a sarcastic look.

"Yes smart ass." he tickled her sides.

"Okay stop before I fall." Nicki wrapped her arms around his torso, kissing his left pectoral. "I still can't believe you got this tattoo." She traced the name that was on his chest with her index finger.

"I was in love with her." He said as they just stood under the water.

"But what a bout now Safaree?" she looked at him in the eyes. He loved her eyes. It was like they bore a hole through him to his soul.

"I'm even more madly in love with her." smiling she looked back at the tattoo that read 'Nicki' with an heart over the i.

"Why can't you be like this all the time?"

"Like what?"

"All sweet and mushy. You always act like a buffoon in front of others, they never see this side of you."

"You trying to ruin a coons image. They like seeing me talk about all the ignorant shit and flashing my jewels."

"Boy you have no image, so hush." she looked down noticing her hair. "My hair is all wet babe."

"You're a beautiful sight, did you know that?" She blushed and put her face to his chest.

"Okay I'ma stop. Let's hurry up and get out of here, I'm starting to prune."

10:00Am

Safaree was sitting in the bed with Nicki in between his legs, as she added the newly developed pictures to the baby book she purchased. Right now there were only pictures of her doing things while she was pregnant. In some she was smiling and happy, others she was pissed because Safaree had the camera in her face, some she was in really deep thought. Safaree had snapped pictures of her sleep during different trimesters, showing her change in physical appearance. She didn't appreciate those but kept them for the babies to see.

"Safaree why did you take this picture?" It was her smashing a couple plates of seafood. He leaned over to look at it and laughed.

"Yo you were not playing with those plates that day. I thought I was going to lose a finger when I reached for one of your crab legs." he put his hands on both side of her belly. "I like it when you eat like that, I don't want no bony woman. I like my women like I like my steak, thick and juicy." he kissed her shoulder.

"Mhmm." she picked up her phone and read her time line. The Barbs were getting restless and wanted new music. They were whining in her mentions and DM's.

@NICKIMINAJ
You will get your music calm yourselves. So spoiled, geesh. *walks into booth*

Safarees phone dinged. He read her tweet.

"Why did you tell them that? You don't have no studio time booked."

"I have my own or did you forget?" she said trying to pull her sock up on her foot but was loosing the battle. Safaree lifted up and pulled it for her. "Thank you."

"Welcome, you don't have an engineer."

"That's why I have you." he rolled his eyes.

She continued to lurk on her time line. Someone was talking about the BC ustream and she began to laugh.

"What happen?" she pointed to the tweet while he read.

"I haven't bumped that song in awhile."

"Yeah let's keep it that way." he gave her the dead face but she wasn't paying him any attention. "They talking about how I was a little drunk."

@NICKIMINAJ
I wasn't drunk, just a little tipsy. I see you. :P


@NICKIMINAJ
OH...HO HO HO!!!! HAPPY THANKSGIVING! *kisses & hugs all u wonderful people* May God Bless u with Gratitude & Humility this day.

"That was a fun night. And it got even better if I remember correctly after everyone left." she looked at him then looked away. "Don't act like you didn't have fun that night playing Doctor and Patient." She kept scrolling trying not to smile.

@SCAFFBEEZY
Someone's not letting me be great.

@NICKIMINAJ
Sorry guy!

@SCAFFBEEZY
Ask her how she feels about Doctors. 0__o

@NICKIMINAJ
They could do their job a little better.

@HairsOnly1Me

Yeah I agree with @HairsOnly1Me

@SCAFFBEEZY

@NICKIMINAJ
@Hairsonly1me @Candi_2 Nobody is being nasty so get yall  minds out the gutter! lmaoooooooooo

@NICKIMINAJ
I plead the fifth. I'm out Barbs. Muah <3

"You trying to front in front of ya little friends, but that's okay." He got out the bed and stretched. "See the next time I role play with you're kinky ass."

"Aw baby don't be like that." she yelled as walked out the room. "Bring me some apple juice."

"Get ya own damn Apple juice." He slammed his door for dramatic effect. She giggled and scooted out the bed. Nicki walked by his door and hit it.

"JERK! I hate you." she made her way to the kitchen when she heard Safarees voice come through they intercom.

"Oh you Love me." she shook her head and grabbed a glass from the counter. Safaree had put them there because he was tired of her breaking them because she couldn't reach the second shelf in the cabinet.

"Whatever Nigga." she said to herself.

"What you say?" she looked up buck eyed at him, then smiled because she got caught talking shit.

"Nothing." she poured her juice and turned to put it back in the fridge.

"That's what I thought." Nicki turned around to see him putting her glass to his lips.

"No Safaree." He had already began drinking it. When he pulled it back down half of it was gone. "You get on my nerves you long throat mutha--"

"Watch your mouth." he said.

The door bell rung saving him from a string of curse words Nicki was about to lay on him. When Safaree opened the door he saw a slender woman standing with her back towards him. She stood 5ft3 with  light brown hair. The woman turned around and took off her sunglasses.

"Big brother." A smile spread across her face as she leaped into his arms.

"Nina." He wrapped his arms around his sister. "You're not supposed to be here for another couple of hours." he put her down.

"My last class got canceled so I left right after my eight o' clock class so I could spend more time with you."

"I'm happy you're here. Nicki come see who's here." Nicki sat her glass down and rounded the corner.

"NINA BUG!" She yelled with a big smile on her face.

"NIKA, look at you all pregnant and glowy. Give me my hug sis." They embraced each other. Nicki and Nina have had this incredible bond since they were both younger. Nina was the little sister Nicki never had. When Safaree and Nicki would get into it with each other most times it would take a talk from Nina to calm her down and hear him out. Nina loved Nicki and would do anything for her, so when she called and asked her to paint the decorative part of the nursery she didn't hesitate.

"How have you been?" Nicki asked.

"I've been wonderful."

"School?" Nicki put on a serious face. She didn't play when it came to school.

"Well my anatomy class is kicking my butt for the second time around."

"Why didn't you tell me you were having trouble the first time Nina, I could have gotten you a tutor?" Nicki said linking arms with her leading Nina up the stairs.

"Well I had a tutor but it didn't help much."

"Oh I'm not standing here!" Safaree said picking up Ninas bags carrying them to her room.

"Well I could have gotten you a tutor that was worth a damn."

"I didn't want to ask Safaree for any money." Nicki stopped her in her tracks.

"I said why didn't you ask ME Nina. You know I don't ever mind helping you especially if it has to do with school and neither does Safaree. When you get back you find a good tutor that knows what they are talking about then call me and tell me how much. Do you hear me?"

"Yes Nicki." Nina said feeling silly for even thinking either would mind helping.

"Okay." They proceeded into Nickis room. Safaree knew nothing was going to get done until they got done catching up, so he went into the entertainment room and watched the sports highlights from last night.

"So any boys in face?" Nicki sat on her bed while Nina sat on the chase.

"No boys but I do have a man."

"Oop well excuse me. What's this mans name?" she put emphasis on Man.

"Quentin, he is a chocolate god Nika. He is so muscular and sweet. He treats me so good." Nina was in a dreamy daze.

"Well I can tell you like him a lot. Why am I just now hearing about this Quentin?" Nina looked at her.

"Because you date Safaree, you're obligated to tell him things now." Nicki gave her a blank look.

"I am not married to him, so I'm not obligated to tell him a damn thing. And even if I was married to him, if you didn't want me to tell him I wouldn't just like I haven't for all these years."

"I'm sorry Nika, don't be mad at me." She gave her a pouty face.

"Oh tuck ya big lip in nobody is mad at you." Nina smiled.

"So what has been up with you sis?" Nina walked into Nickis closet.

"Nothing much just knocked up."

"Well are you excited? I'm ready to spoil my nieces and Nephew." she yelled.

"How do you know it's a boy?"

"I know these things, that last one is a little boy."

"If you say so." Nina came out the closet with a couple of pairs of Nickis jeans. "There you go stealing my clothes."

"It's not stealing if you know ahead of me leaving the premises." Nina stuck her tongue out at Nicki and unfastened her pants.

"That sounds like something a thief would say. Look in the back of the closet and grab those three garment bags." Nina stopped pulling up the new jeans and grinned at Nicki.

"You saved me some dresses didn't you?"

"I don't know, go get the bags and see for yourself." She fastened the pants and quickly walked back into the closet and came back out.

"They are so heavy." he opened the Versace bag first. "OMG Nika these are from the new line." Nicki gave her a funky look.

"Of course you think I would give you last seasons shit."

"Shut up I'm just in shock." Just then Safaree walked in the room.

"Really Nicki, why couldn't she do this after she finished the room?" Nina looked at him while rubbing the dress against her face.

"Why can't she do it now?" He just walked back out knowing he wasn't going to win this argument. "Open the rest."

By the time Nina got done raiding Nickis closet she had two extra suitcases worth of Nickis clothes plus two of her suitcases.

"Thanks big sis." She kissed her on the cheek.

"It's never a problem. And don't think I didn't see you sneak those McQueen shoes in your bag after I told you no."

"Huh? I have no clue what you are talking about."

"Mhhmm. Let's get you to this nursery before your brother has a brain anurisim."

"Has he been giving you an hard time?"

"Not more than usual. We have been arguing a lot more than we ever have though." Nicki walked her to the room.

"I'm sure it will get better, just give it sometime. It's probably just stress on both sides."

"That's what I told him." Nicki sighed. "Well this is your canvas, go nuts." Nicki sat in the glider.

"Well I need to go change, I don't want to get paint on these clothes. What are you about to do?" she asked Nicki.

"I'm going to watch you paint."

"Nicki you can't stay in here with all these paint fumes. Are you trying to kill my babies?"

"Oh, I guess you're right. But I don't have nothing else to do. I don't want to hang out with your stupid brother." Safaree entered the room.

"Well damn, Nina gets here and you just have no love towards the kid."

"I was just kidding, give me lips." she puckered hers.

"No keep your crusty lips to yourself." He turned and walked away.

"Why you hurtin my bro bros felling like that. You know he's sensitive." they giggled.

"I need to stop before my ass is sleeping alone tonight. Well have fun with this, how long do you think it is going to take?"

"Three days tops."

"That's not bad well I'll leave you to it. Safaree where are you?"

"Somewhere where you're not." she heard coming from the game room.

"Oh you're so sensitive." She looked over at Nina and winked. "Come here baby, I love you!" She waddled towards the room.

---

"Dr. Reynolds said meet her at the doctors office on 119th and Metcalf."

"There is no Doctors office over there and what happened to her coming here?" Nicki said.

"It's a private practice. Unless you are a patient you wouldn't know. Her friend owns this place and agreed to let her use a room there so you would have all the proper equipment."

"Oh okay, what time?"

"She said she was already there so I told her we would come right away."

"Okay just let me put on my shoes." Safaree went to go warm the car up. "Nina do you want to go with us to the doctors appointment?" Nicki said walking in the nursery.

"No its fine, you guys go ahead besides i'm not presentable." Nicki looked her over. Nina had on a pair of two size too big sweat pants and a big UCLA sweat shirt. She had paint spots on her face and clothes.

"Yeah you're right."

"Heyyyy."

"I'm just sayin."

"I need you to drop those kids quick because Pregnantnika is mean."

"Nicki are you ready?" SB yelled.

"Yes." she screamed hurrying off to her room to find her Uggs.

"Liar." Nina said turning back to the wall.

@ the Doctors office


They entered the doors of the small doctors office. It was cozy and warm in the waiting area. It had brown leather chairs for the patients to sit in. There were two 32' inch flat screens on both sides of the room. One turned to Ellen the other on ESPN. Nicki figured the ESPN one was for then men. A variety of magazines were spread over two tables, none out of place. The waiting room was empty. They were greeted by a small older white lady named Abigail.

"Welcome to Dr. Crawfords office. You must be Ms. Maraj." She said standing and walking around to the door. Nicki and Safaree took off their coats and hung them on the coat hanger by the door.

"Yes I am and this is my boyfriend Safaree."

"How do you do sir?"

"I'm fine ma'am."

"That's good. If you would follow me I will show you to Dr. Reynolds."

Abigail lead them through the short hallway to a closed door and knocked. They heard shuffling around then a baritone voice say come in. Abigail opened the door.

"Ms. Maraj is here."

"Thank you Abigail." She nodded and smiled at Nicki before heading back to the front.

Nicki looked around the office and noticed files sprawled on the floor behind Dr. Reynolds. She looked up at Dr. Crawford. He was about 6ft4 and about two-hundred and twenty pounds of solid muscle. He had a shaved head, light brown eyes, with milk chocolate skin. He looked to be around, if not a year or two older, than Dr. Reynolds. Nicki looked at Dr. Reynolds and noticed her lip stick was a bit smeared.

"Hello Dr. Reynolds."

"Hello Nicki this is Dr. Crawford." He extended his hand and she accepted it.

"Hello Nicki, we were just talking about you. Sheryl has told me good things." Nicki side eyed him.

"You two were talking about me? Just a minute ago I was the topic of discussion?" Dr. Reynolds could see Nickis brain working and had to move her along before she embarrassed her with her questions.

"Yes you were child now come on so we can get you all checked out." She grabbed a smiling Nicki by the arm and led her out the room. Nicki turned around and got another glimpse of Dr. Crawford, he was checking out Dr. Reynolds figure as she walked away. "Luther you said I could use room 3 right?" He continued staring until SB nudged him.

"Yes, room three." Safaree shook his head and laughed.

"I don't blame you, Dr. Reynolds is pretty stacked for older woman."

"Ain't that the truth." he admitted licking his lips. Dr. Reynolds opened the door for Nicki to enter. Both Her and Nicki looked back at the men, then Nicki giggled making Dr. Reynolds nudge her into the room and close the door.

"Oooo you have a boyfriend." Nick taunted.

"Hush." she said with her southern twang.

"That's why he didn't mind letting you use his office, hes trying to win brownie points so he can get that good southern lovin." Dr. Reynolds ignored her. "Is he a good kisser?" Silence. "Come on you can tell me. I know you kissed him because your lipstick is smudged."

"ONIKA stop. I was not kissing him." She looked in the mirror on the wall. "I must have gotten smudged when I was eating earlier and Luther is too much of a gentlemen to tell me." She looked down smirking.

"Oooo Luther, that's a sexy name." Nicki made a cute face at her and Sheryl rolled her eyes. "Well you do like him I can tell, so don't try to deny it ma'am. Spill the tea." Nicki stuck her arm out for the cuff.

"You are so nosy child."

"Sure am now spill, I want to know everything." Nicki giggled while kicking her legs.

"Well his name is Luther Crawford and we met my freshman year in medical school, it was his sophomore. I could tell he was a charmer from the minute I laid eyes on him. All the girls would go crazy over him." She smiled at the memories. "He took an interest in me but I told myself I wouldn't get involved with him. Said Luther Crawford would never be able to say he had me." She flipped her hair for dramatic effect. Nicki snapped her fingers. Sheryl kept working while telling the story.

"Well I can see that didn't happen." Nicki said.

"Who is telling the story, you or I?"

"Sorry. Continue."

"Now where was I, oh that's right. Well when he got wind of my proclamation he made it a duty to get me to like him. He began waiting for me outside of my class, and bringing me flowers ever so often. Luther would stand under my dorm window and play Al Green. He asked me to give him a chance to show me that he wasn't what I thought he was."

"Did you let him?"

"Yeah I did. It's one of my biggest regrets." Her face saddened.

"Why? What happened?"

"Back then black and white couples still weren't accepted in the south. One night me and Luther went out on a ride. Well the company got so good we weren't paying attention on where it was we were driving. Before we noticed we had head lights beaming on us from the rear. A pick up full of young, drunk and stupid white boys ran us off the road. That night they beat him and made me watch. Told me that I didn't need to be keeping the company of some..." She looked up at Nicki. "Well you can figure out what they said. "Once they left I helped him into the car and drove him to the nearest hospital that would take him. They called my parents and let's just say they didn't like it to much to find out that their daughter was dating a colored man. I have never forgiven myself for that night. I should have been more careful." Nicki had tears in her eyes. "My parents forbid me to ever speak to him again and his parents transferred him to a different college out of state. Every time I look at the scar under his eye it reminds me of that night. When we are together he tries to make me forget about it but the guilt is still there."

"I'm so sorry. How did you two meet again?" Sheryl chuckled.

"The power of social networks. He found me on Facebook a couple years back and asked me out to dinner for old time sake. He flew me out here and we have sparked up our friendship ever since then."

"It wasn't your fault, you can't keep blaming you're self for what happened. The way he was looking at you when we came in let's me know he wants to be with you. Why won't you let him?" Dr. Reynolds looked up at Nicki, and smiled.

"What do you know?" She stood up and tapped her on the nose, then wiped her tear stricken face.

"I know that look, just give him a chance. You always call me stubborn but look at you. If it doesn't work then It doesn't work but at least you tried. And besides..."

"Okay Okay, stop pleading his case. If it will get you to hush then I'll give him a chance. Are you happy?" A smile spread across Nickis face.

"Yes I am."

"Good." She grinned. "The babies heartbeat seem normal. Are you sure you don't want to know the other babies sex?"

"No. we agreed we have went this long what's another week." Nicki got off the table and Dr. Reynolds looked at her belly.

"Hmm."

"What?" Nicki looked at her.

"You are not carrying as low as I predicted. Be honest with me Nicki have you had any back pain at all lately?"

"No ma'am I haven't."

"Hmm."

"Stop all the Hmm's and tell me what you're thinking."

"Well if there are no back pains and no discomfort of any kind...wait do you have any discomforts?"

"No."

"Well I'm thinking you can keep the babies until they are ready to come out." Nickis jaw dropped at the sound of the news.

"Seriously?"

"Yes, I don't predict you going all nine months but it won't be a problem for you physically or the babies, if you still want to keep them longer."

"YES YES I want them to stay longer. Oh my gawd thank you Ms. Sheryl." Nicki hugged her.

"No thanks needed. Go tell Safaree the good news."

"Okay." She left the room searching for Safaree. "Safaree?" he popped his head out of Dr. Crawfords office. They had been in there chatting it up with each other over various topics.

"Yeah?" Nicki walked into his arms and hugged him. "What's wrong?"

"Nothing is wrong, she said I could keep the babies until they are ready to come out." he looked at Nickis face in disbelief. Safaree looked over at Dr. Reynolds for confirmation and when she nodded her head he let out a sigh of relief.

"That's wonderful baby." He hugged her tightly. "So everything is fine?"

"Yes. No get out of here and go tell your families." She said.

"Alright. Thank you once again Dr. Reynolds. Hey you?" She called to Luther. "You treat her right, you have a gem in your hands." she pointed to him. He grabbed Sheryls hand and kissed it softly.

"Don't I know it." He smiled back at Nicki.

"I'll call you to check on you. Happy early Thanksgiving."

"Same to you." Safaree said opening the door to the waiting room. They walked out putting on their coats.

"Happy Holidays to you two."

"Thank you Abigail, same to you." Nicki said with a big grin on her face. They left out and headed home. Nicki tweeted.

@NICKIMINAJ
Be thankful...

@SCAFFBEEZY
...for the little things.

"Don't tweet while you driving." Nicki scolded. "But that was cute." she smiled.

"You are forever yelling at me."

"You know I wonder sometime which one of us is pregnant because your hormones." She side eyed him.

"Don't even try to compare my hormones to yours. You win by a landslide." they both broke out laughing.

"Forget you SB." Nicki received a text message.

Back @ the house


"Nina guess what?" Nicki shouted. Nina walked barefoot out to the steps.

"What happen sis?"

"The doctor said I could keep the babies."

"Really? That is amazing you guys, i'm happy for you."

"I have to call my mom." Nicki walked into the kitchen.

"Safaree some company came by with a whole bunch of food."

"Oh yeah I ordered us a thanksgiving meal because Nicki couldn't cook and I wasn't about to try and cook a whole Thanksgiving meal by myself."

"It's sad that we couldn't get both the families together this year."

"Yeah with Nickis family in Trinidad, Mom hosting the dinner at her house this year, and Nicki not being able to travel, it just wasn't going to happen. But next year for sure." They heard a squeal come from the kitchen and figured Nicki was on the phone telling everyone she could. "Candi, Lauren, Terrence and the Vaks will be over a little later."

"Um Safaree I invited someone to dinner." Nina said biting her lip nervously.

"How are you just going to invite someone over to our house and not ask? You know Nicki doesn't like for people to know where she lives."

"I texted her when you guys were gone and she said it was okay." He looked at her.

"Fine if she said it was fine then i'm cool. Which one of your little bird friends you invite this time? Teisha? You know Rex always did like her."

"No you have never met this friend."

"Well what's her name and what is she like? She's not a ratchet chick is she, you know Nicki hates those type."

"Well Quentin has manners and is very nice Safaree." She just stood there waiting for his reaction.

"Who the hell is Quentin?" He scrunched up his face.

"He is a friend I told you."

"Nicki."

"Yeah Ma hold on." she began walking towards Safaree with the phone still to her ear.

"You knew she invited a boy to dinner and didn't tell me." Nicki did a quick about face and walked back in the direction she came. She was not about to get in the middle of that argument.

"Safaree just be nice please." Nina pleaded.

"He better be just a friend."

"Don't worry he is." she lied.

"Mhhmm I'll figure it out don't worry."

"Safaree he will be here any minute so be nice. I'm going to shower, if he get's here before I'm out yo better--"

"Be nice. I heard, go shower."

The doorbell rang ten minutes later. Nicki was tyring to stall from getting grilled by Safaree, so she kept her mother on the phone longer. Safaree had his baseball bat in his hand and went to go answer the door.

"Who the fuck is it?"

"It's us nigga, open the damn door it's cold." Safaree unlocked the door and everybody rushed in. "The fuck you doing giving us the third degree for?" Vincent asked.

"Nina invited some knuckle head boy to dinner."

"Aw she has a little man boy." Lauren said.

"The hell you say aw for? It ain't cute." he furrowed his brow.

"Aww look at the cute big brother trying to run off the man child after his sister." Candi made a cutesy face at Safaree grabbing and shaking his chin.

"Get off me." He pushed her into Martin.

"So we doing him like we used to do the rest of em back in the day?"

"Hell yeah." Safaree said giving Vincent the BC handshake. Nicki heard this and walked up to SB.

"Give me the bat." She held out her hand.

"What?" He shouted. "Naw."

"I said give me the bat Safaree."

"Nope!" He he twisted his lips and put the bat against his shoulder.

"Safaree give it here." She said slowly in a cold voice. he looked down at her face.

"Ugh here take the stupid thing." He walked away mumbling. The guys laughed and clowned him. Nicki smiled and hugged Candi and Lauren.

"Let's go see what Nina is doing." They walked down the hall to the guest bedroom. They entered the room without knocking, Nina was used to it because when she was younger they did the same thing andd she heard them walking down the hall so she covered up.

"Nina Bew." Candi said walking in first.

"Hey Candi. Hey Lauren."

"Hey." Lauren said sitting on the bed. "We heard you got man folk coming over."

"Yes, is he here yet?"

"No. I had to take this from your brother." Nicki said tossing the bat onto the bed.

"Really he still trying to pull that move. I told him we were just friends."

"Oh so if he is cute I can holla then right?" Lauren asked raising an eyebrow.

"Girl you don't even bat for his team."

"Touche."

"Oh but I can talk to him though?" Candi asked.

"You go near him and I'll kill you." Nina said.

"Why do y'all always mess with my Nina Bug? Y'all know she sensitive like her brother."

"Well she shouldn't be lying. If that's your boo don't deny him."

"I just don't want Safaree over reacting as usual."

"Girl that's your brother, he will always act that way." Just then the doorbell rang and they all looked at each other.

Safaree and the boys went to the door.

"You Quentin?" Safaree said with his best thug face on, looking him up and down like he was short but in reality was taller than him.

"Yeah." said the muscular, deep voiced guy. Vincent walked up to Safaree .

"Damn nigga why you ain't tell us he was this big? Might want to let this one slide man." He whispered.

"Come in." he said rudely. Quentin walked pass Safaree then stopped and smirked at him, then kept walking.

"Who the fuck he smirking at." The guys held Safaree back.

"Quentin." Nina said running towards him and jumping in his arms.

"Hey baby."

"BABY?" He fought harder to get to him.

"Safaree calm down." Nicki said walking up beside him. "Just get through this dinner for your sister please?"

"Fine." Safaree shrugged the guys off and walked into the living room. Nicki felt it best not to tell him that the boy was staying for a couple of days.
