A Day With the Barbs...

*Enjoy you guys*

Nicki woke up with out Safaree next to her in the bed. She got out of the bed to take her shower and get ready for the day. She was excited to spend the day with her Barbs, the girls gave her so much life yesterday. They wanted to know everything about everything. She waddled down the stairs to the girls rooms and peeked in both rooms. Tara was sprawled out all over the bed with her hand on Lesleys face. Muny was sleeping peacefully through Tonis soft snoring. Nicki giggled and went to go find Safaree, he had to be in the house because he wouldn't leave her side for more than 20 minutes since the incident. She looked in the kitchen but no SB. She heard voices coming from the backyard, so she made her way there.

When she looked she seen Safaree and Martin in jumpers both holding a side to a piece of paper arguing. She couldn't make out what it was about. She looked at the area where they were working on the garden yesterday, the ground was turned. She slid the door open which caught the attention of Safaree.

"See nigga you woke her up with all your nonsense." Safaree scolded Martin.

"If you would just listen instead of running them soup coolers you call lips she wouldn't have heard shit." Martin said back.

"Neither one of you woke me so hush. And what is all this you guys?" She walked further outside.

"It's your garden Boss." Martin said. "Well the beginning stages anyway." he looked back at the land and all the dirt.

"Um Martin can you go can you go snap some pictures of the girls sleeping for please?" Nicki asked.

"Uh sure." He walked to the door and took off his boots as to not trail the dirt in the house.

"So are you happy?" Safaree asked looking at her face take in the scenery.

"Yes, I'm very happy." She went to hug him. "How long have you two been out here?"

"Me since six and Martin since seven. This shit got a coons arms aching." he moved his arms back and forth.

"I'll give you a rub down later on to show my thanks." Nicki said leaning her body into him and looking up at his face. Safaree raised an eyebrow.

"A rub down eh?" Nicki shook her head yes. "I'm looking forward to that." he pecked her lips and she grinned.

"Can we start the flowers now Faree?"

"You don't want to wait on your Barbs?" he asked.

"Well I don't think they are really into it, I don't want to force them to do this."

"You should leave some for them to do just in case they do babe."

"Okay but can we do some together before the wake up. Just me and you." Safaree drew his bottom lip in his mouth then let it go.

"Yeah come on." He lead her over to the front row and helped her onto her knees.  He went back towards the door and grabbed her a pair of gloves. "Which flowers do you want in the front on that side?"

"I want the chrysanthemum's to go over here." Nicki stated. She dug her nails into the dirt picking some up then letting it fall from her hands.

"Whatttt you getting your precious little hands dirty." Safaree walked back towards her while she glared at him with a smirk on her face.

"Don't make fun." She said in her little girl voice as he sat next to her and handed her the gloves.

"So this is what your gonna do baby, your gonna take the seeds since Me and martin already stitched the grass."

"What does that mean?" she asked.

"We used that thing over there--" he pointed. "and we ran it over the soil to make wholes for the seeds."

"Ohhh okay." she nodded.

"So all you have to do is spread the seeds over the soil like this." He showed her how but when she did it she just let them go and they fell into one spot. "No baby like this."

He took off his gloves getting behind her and pouring more seeds into her hand. He ran his hands down her smooth skin to meet her hands, he kissed her cheek. He grabbed a hold of her hand and shook it gently making the seeds scatter. She looked at the side of his face smiling and listening to all he was telling her.

"How do you know all this SB?" she asked.

"I called the lady at Home Depot and asked her a million questions so my baby could have the best garden ever. Nobodies is going to be fucking with yours. Beleedat." He said moving his left hand from hers to her belly and began rubbing it.

"I like when you take interest in the things I like Faree." He moved his head to look at her.

"You listen to all the things I want to do no matter how much you think there dumb." She smiled. "Do you have the hang of it now Nic?"

"Yessir." He backed away from her but she grabbed the hand that was on her belly and stopped him. "That doesn't mean I want you to move." Nicki said never breaking her concentration from what she was doing.

"Baby I smell."

"Not that bad. You just smell like a man." she smiled and held out her hand for more seeds. He pored them for her them wrapped himself around her waist.

"Babe you have to put some down there too."

"Well scooch down there then." They moved their right leg together then their left leg.

"Yo we corny." SB said.

"So! What's wrong with corny? We cute." Nicki said spreading her seeds around again. Safaree leaned into her and took in her scent. She smelled like her kloe perfume and her Carols Daughter Black Vanilla Herbal Shampoo mixed with the hair butter. He loved her so much and it scared him at times. "Why you get quiet on me?" Nicki asked. He came out of his thoughts.

"I'm sorry baby." he kissed her head.

"I like you calling me baby."

"I call you it all the time." Safaree said.

"No you call me babe, it's different." She sat on her butt because her knees were beginning to hurt. She leaned to the side still in his arms.

"Oh, well I'll call you that if it keeps that smile on your face." he swiped his index finger over her nose knocking a couple of specks of dirt off. He went in for a kiss but was interrupted someone clearing their throat. They both looked up to see Martin with the girls by on both sides of him with big smiles on their faces.

"We hungry HB." Lesley said.

"So Safaree stop trying to tongue down my HB and let's go inside." April said. Nicki laughed.

"Barbs come help me up." she extended her hands. Toni and Tara walked over and helped her up. "What do you ladies want for breakfast?" All four girls rambled off their orders with Nicki trying to catch it all.

---

The girls were in Nickis room on the floor sitting in front of the chase lounge Nicki was on. The girls wanted to ask her about the incident but didn't want her to get mad or feel bad. Nicki could feel they had something on their minds.

"Talk to me Barbs."

"We are talking silly." Tara said.

"You all seem like you have something on you want to talk about." the girls looked around at each other. Muny spoke up.

"Well we want to know about...about the whole kidnapping." the room fell silent with Nicki looking back and forth at their faces.

"Why do you want to know about that?" Nicki laid her arm across her belly.

"See I told you we shouldn't have asked." Lesley whispered. Nicki looked at her.

"I never said I wasn't going to spill." she sighed and went on to explain to them leaving out a few details once she saw the tears streaming down their faces. She made sure to leave the part about the gun being put to her head out and Melanie slapping her, also Drake being involved. The media hadn't found out about him being involved. They already looked ready to commit murder from the minor details she had given. "But I'm fine now so dry your tears. No sense in crying over spilled milk right ladies?" they nodded wiping their faces. "Come to mama Barbs." She raised her for them to enter them. "Everything will be fine. Let's go harass Safaree, that will be fun."

"HB you are the only one that finds enjoyment in irritating him." Toni said.

"What's your point?" Nicki gave her a blank ditsy stare. Toni just walked out the room.

"I can't with her right now." She said giggling. "Safaree wherever you are HB is coming to harass you so I suggest you hide." She yelled out.

"Who's side are you on?" Nicki waddled her way out of the room. "That's why you can't come play with us in the game room you big headed little girl." Nicki said following behind her down the stairs. Toni turned to say something but Nicki pointed at her and cut her off. "Say something slick I dare you." The others snickered at her. They walked into the kitchen and found Safaree pulling out cake pans.

"Coon you bake?" Lesley asked.

"A coon has some skills." Safaree said. "This is what you wanted right?" he held up the pan.

"Yes." She nodded her head. "Okay Barbs we are going to make Bake Pops."

"You would be the one to buy that Nicki." Tara said sitting on the stool.

"What is that?" April asked.

"You haven't seen that commercial? The pan has little circle compartments you put the cake batter in, then you put the other pan on top, then put tit in the oven. When they are done they are little circles of cake and you put a stick into it like a lollipop." Nicki explained. "Safaree  where is all the stuff we put on them?" she looked around.

"I must have left it in the car, I'll be back." he ran to the car.

"So what kind of cake do you want chocolate or vanilla?"

"Chocolate." They all said.

"So Vanilla it is." She smiled showing her dimples. Safaree entered the kitchen with two bags. They were filled with sprinkles, Oreo's, chocolate and white chocolate drizzle, candy coating, and powdered sugar. "Let's get to baking."

---
Nicki let the girls mix the batter and pour it into the cake pans. They put them in the oven for 30 minutes that was 25 minutes ago.

"Tara can you get three of those deep small bowls out of the cabinet over there?"

"Sure." She went and did as she was asked.

"Muny hand me those bags." Just then they heard a loud crash. Nicki turned around to see Tara with her hands over her mouth looking at the broken glass.

"I'm so sorry Nicki. It was to far back and I accidentally tipped it over but couldn't catch it before it the ground." She rambled off quickly. Safaree went to the closet and grabbed the broom and dust pan.

"It's okay hunnie but back away from the glass I don't want you to get cut." Safaree picked up the big pieces with his hands then swept up the scattered smaller ones.

Tara went and sat in the living room because she felt bad. Toni went to go check on her.

"Where are they going?" Nicki looked towards the front room.

"Toni is seeing if she is okay because she started crying. She thinks your going to be mad at her." Muny said nonchalantly.

"Oh my Gawd, my Barbs are so dramatic. I break those things like every week, that's like our third set."

"Look who's calling someone dramatic." Safaree said. Nicki punched him in the arm.

"No one asked you." Just then the two girls walked back into the room. Nicki held out her arms for Tara and she went. "I'm not mad so calm down. Come help me with the candy coating." the timer went off for the bake pops so Safaree turned off the oven then pulled them out sitting them on the cooling racks.

"Let's play never have i ever later on you guys." Nicki said. Tara looked up from the melted candy coating.

"What is that?"

"Well it's a drinking game but since none of you are 21 and I'm prego will figure something out. But you say Never Have I Ever then you say something you haven't done or you have done before and whoever has done it has to drink or what ever we decide."

"I'm down. Can we ask anything?" Muny asked.

"Mmhmm. Come on yall start dipping your balls into the coating before it get's hard again." Everyone looked at her.

"Pauz." they all yelled out.

"Yall so nasty."

"That's not to sweet is it Nicki?" Safaree walked up behind her placing his hands on her hips. She swiped some off her cake and stuck her finger in his face. Safaree inserted her finger into his mouth, then slowly licked it off. Nicki looked at him while mouthing "Don't play with me." He smiled and let her finger go.

"No Yall so nasty." Toni said. "So when are we playing this game?" Nicki looked over at her.

"We can play in a few." Nicki said looking over at Safaree was leaning on the counter staring at her. "What the hell are you looking at?"

"My baby mama." Nickis jaw dropped.

"Don't call me that Safaree."

"Okay I'm sorry. I'm looking at my baby." he tried kissing her but she moved her face.

"I don't want ya funky kisses."

"Don't do me like that. I'm sorry." He kissed her on her shoulder and up her neck. The Barbs had big goofy smiles on their faces.

"Okay now stop." She looked up at the Barbs and smiled back at them.

---
"This is why you asked us to bring this?" Lesley asked taking the bag.

"Yeah I don't want to eat this." Muny threw the bag out in front of her.

"If you wanna play this game you will. Now gather round the table so we can play." Nicki had sent them questionnaires asking them different random questions one being 'What is your least favorite candy?'

"I can't believe you asked them to bring candy to give to another knowing they don't like it." Safaree said. "And then have the nerve to have a mixed bag of candy for yourself." He walked over to the fridge.

"Well believe it and come sit down." Safaree came back with a bowl, then took Nickis bag of candy and sat the bowl in front of her.

"What is this? No I don't want this." Nicki reached for her bag. "This was why I was mad at you the other day."

"What happen?" Toni asked.

"She got caught sneaking junk food at three in the morning in her closet. I took it all and she got mad." The girls broke out into laughter.

"It's not funny."

"Now your apart of the game just like them." Nicki stared at the bowl of carrots in front of her. "Now I'll start the game. Never have i ever smoked weed." SB started.

"Don't judge me barbs." Nicki took a bite of her carrot and the Barbs laughed.

"Never have i ever skipped school." Tara said. Everyone took a bite of their candy.

"Never have I ever passed out from drinking." Safaree said. Nicki glared at him them ate a carrot.

"Never have i ever crashed a car." Muny said. Nicki was the only one to take a bite.

"Never have i ever kissed someone on the first date." Lesley said. Safaree and Nicki took a bite.

"And no it wasn't with each other Barbs, so stop thinking it." she rolled her eyes at them.

"Nobody was thinking it guilty." Muny said.

"Never have i ever been in handcuffs." Toni said. Safaree and Nicki both took a bite. The girls gasped.

"Well we know SBs had to do something with his job, so what did you get in trouble for?" Toni asked. Nicki looked up.

"Who said I was in trouble Barb?"

"Ewww." they all  said then laughed. Nicki felt Safaree looking at her.

"What?" she asked.

"I wanna know who had you in handcuffs because I know I haven't." Nicki looked at him wide eyed.

"Oop. Um Never have I ever kissed in the rain." Muny said trying to get Nicki out of the hot seat. Tara and Lesley both ate a piece of candy. Safaree let it go for now.

"What are you two doing kissing period?" Nicki looked at them.

"She never said who you kissed. I've given my mother a kiss on the cheek while it was raining before." Lesley said.

"Mmhmm quick save."

"Never have i ever experienced love at first sight." Nicki said. Safaree popped a Milky Way in his mouth.

"Aww who was it?" Tara asked. He nodded towards Nicki. "Yall cute."

"I know right he alright when he wants to be." Nicki said. They played the game for another hour until Taras last Never have i ever. Safaree had to leave to go get something from the store.

"Never have i ever gotten freaky while others where in the house." Tara and Nicki made eye contact.

"I gotta pee." Nicki got up.

"No either say you haven't or you take a bite." Tara said smiling. "Your not supposed to lie to us HB. About anything." Nicki kept waddling away.

"Did you guys see that hickey on HBs neck?" Tara asked smiling.

"Who could miss it, its about the size of Texas. She is not doing a very good job of hiding it. Safaree must have got some last night." Muny said swirling her hips in a circular motion laughing. "Ain't that why you asked the question?" She shook her head.

"She wouldn't do that why we are here." Toni said frowning.

"You only saying that because you are one of the still delusional Dricki fans." Lesley said.

"Whatever no I am not heffa." She said back.

"Don't get mad at me because it is Onikafaree. And you still writing that blog on Dricki as if it is ever gonna happen." Muny laughed at both of them.

"What are you laughing for yours started out as Dricki." Toni said. She felt like they were ganging up on her.

"Key word 'Started' but was never going to finish as that because I knew what it was."

"Well what about the all Dricki one you wrote." she raised her voice which caught Aprils attention.

"Who the hell you yelling at first of awl? And secondly I wanted to please my fans." She flipped her hair and walked over to the fridge and got a soda.

"What is all this yelling? You know I don't like when my Barbs fight." Nicki entered the room with a worried look on her face.

"Yall two chicks need to keep it cute. Got my Nicki all worked up." Lesley said. "Nobody cares about yalls story this weekend."

"What stories Barb?" Nicki asked them. April and Toni looked at the other two daring them to say something. Nicki saw this. "What STORIES?" she asked again. "Oh so all of a sudden you are fucking mute, that's okay I'll figure it out I always do. Come on and start getting ready for the party. You can open your pink and yellow bags now." Nicki told them. They ran to their room and dug through the bags. Nicki had bought them all a pair of Loubitons and and outfit to go with them. "So shower and everything and then come to the front in about an hour so Terrence and Day can get you together." The girls Squealed.

"Bro Bro is coming here? To this house?" asked April.

"Yes and he is especially excited to see you, so I suggest you hurry up." Nicki rushed her into the bathroom. "Okay ladies I'll see you when I'm done getting ready."

4 Hours Later


The party was in full swing with all of Young Money there excluding Drake. Which made Toni sad because she was looking forward to seeing him. Also just friends of everyone were there. The Barbs were having a great time mingling with the celebs and common folks. Nicki made sure to keep an eye on them because she knew how the guys got. She didn't want them making the girls feel uncomfortable nor wanted them to try anything with them. The Barbs were instructed not to leave the main room. Tara was in the corner talking to twist but she was his age so Nicki didn't worry to much. April was on the dance floor dancing with Mack Maine. Lesley was smashing a plate of food, while Toni conversed with a boy.

"Hey Mack you make sure you keep your hands above the waist." Nicki pointed at him.

"I got you sis." he laughed.

"Come here." Safaree said sneaking up behind Nicki and hugging her from behind. "have you feed my kids yet?"

"Our kids and no not yet. I wasn't sure what was up there that you would let me eat." she laughed.

"Very funny. Well come on before Lesley pulls up a chair to the buffet table." Nicki looked at her.

"She not playing bout that barbecue." he led her to the spread of food. Nicki looked it over. "Faree I don't want any of this."

"You sure? Weren't you craving potato salad earlier in the week and barbecue baked beans?" Nicki turned her nose up at the sound.

"Yeah but it doesn't sound appeasing right now." she scanned the table again. "Well they have fruit, I think I want that." She went to the end of the table and loaded her plate with pineapples and strawberries, then they headed to a table. Safaree sat close to her and draped his arm around the back of her chair while watching the people dance and have a good time.

"If you want to go dance you can Safaree I won;t be mad." Nicki said placing another pineapple in her mouth.

"No I'm fine right here with all four of my babies." he ran his hand over her stomach. "How are the pineapples?" She put one up to his mouth and it disappeared quickly into his mouth. "Yo them are sweet." He looked at her plate and seen they were almost gone. "I'm going to go get you some more." Nicki nodded her head and watched him walk away.

"Why are you not up enjoying yourself HB?" Muny said walking up to her with the rest of the girls.

"I am, see." She showed them her plate. "And besides you girls got here and forgot I existed. You three were all up in boys faces and this one was making love to her food." They all laughed.

"We could never forget about you. I'm sure Twist is happy I'm out his face because all I did was talk about you." Tara said.

"And Mack Maine is to dam...I mean he is just to old for me." Muny said correcting herself.

"Ooo you almost cussed in front of HB." Toni teased.

"Yall four are something else i tell ya." Nicki looked around. "Where is Safaree with those pineapples?" she spotted him by the food table with some girl all in his face. "Now who is this bird?" The girls looked in his direction.

"We got this Nicki." Toni said.

"Don't get ratchet over there." She wanted to see what they would do so she let them go. The girls surrounded both the girl and Safaree. SB looked as if he was explaining himself to the girl which made Nicki smile. Then they turned their attention towards the girl. Lesleys neck and hands were working overtime to let the girl know something. They all put they arm in the air and pointed to the left  and the girl hauled ass getting away. They all came back to the table escorting Safaree like they were his bodyguards. "Did you lose your way?" She asked Safaree.

"Man baby I was on my way back and the girl--"

"Ion wanna hear all that just hand me my Pineapples man." she reached for the plate cutting Safaree off. The song changed and the dj played Too Much Booty In the Pants by 2 Live Crew. Nicki grew excited. "Come dance with me barbs. They went to the dance floor and watch Nicki spazz out to the song. Martin came through with his camera and caught it on film. This was a rare moment and he knew Safaree and everyone else would want to relive. Nicki wasn't doing to bad for carrying triplets. Safaree came and got behind her while she was dancing.

"This is probably how you got knocked up in the first place." Wayne yelled out causing the circle to erupt in laughter. The girls and Nicki danced a couple more songs until Nicki grew tired and had to sit down. She watched the girls dance to their hearts content.

"I'm going to miss them Faree." she laid her head on his shoulder.

"I know but you will see them again I'm sure."

"It's going to be hard putting them on the airplane in the morning." She sighed and tried to push the thoughts out of her mind. She would enjoy the rest of the night and worry about tomorrow then.

"So you want to turn the ground your self?"

"Yes Safaree, how many times are you going to ask me that question?" Nicki said as they walked down the gardening aisle at Home depot. It was a sunny Wednesday morning in November. The pair went early, as to avoid to many people.

"Your 6 months pergnant, with triplets and if I let you do it then you'll think its to hard after a while then I'll be the one doing this garden. That's why I keep asking." Nicki stopped and stared at him.

"Your so dramatic."

"This coming from the Queen of dramatics."

"You not funny." She said picking up a gardening fork and putting it in the basket. "What else is on the list?"

"Um you need a water hose with a sprayer." she looked around. "It's to high Faree."

"Sounds like a you problem and not a me problem."

"Faree." she pouted.

"Oh put ya lips up and move." She smiled.

"Thank you. And back to what we were talking about, I'm going to have the Barbs to help me so you can keep your ugly self inside for all we care." She poked his chest.

"I'll remember that when they get here Friday. We can go get your flowers now."

"Yay." Nicki did a little jig.

"You better stop before you shake my kids--" Nicki looked at him. "our kids out to early."

"What's the difference between now and three weeks from now." Nicki said rounding the corner to the flower section.

"I thought you came to terms with that babe?" Safaree had been trying to keep her mind off of her now early due date.

"I have but that doesn't make me not sad." Nicki walked up to the counter and rang the bell. "I don't want to talk about this right now SB." She turned toward him and gave him a look.

"Fine but we will when we get home." a girl came from the back.

"Hi may I help you?"

"Hi I'm looking for these flowers." Nicki handed the young lady her list of flowers.

"Okay now do you want them already potted or do you want the seeds?"

"I want the seeds please." The girl nodded.

"Alright I'll be right back." She walked off.

"What do you think about Cassandra?" Nicki asked SB.

"Naw I don't like that name. What about Monique?"

"Nope." Nicki leaned on the counter. They had been trying for two days and still had no name for the babies, she was starting to get discouraged.

"Stop all the huffing." He turned her around putting his arms around her waist and made a pout face making her laugh. "I like this face better."

"Stop trying to be all cute with me in public, then when we get home I can't get you to touch me." Safaree smirked.

"That's because when we are at home any contact with you equals you trying to rape me. See now that we are in public I can hold you and you can't molest me."

"Oh yeah you must not know who you messin with, do you not know my last name nigga?" she said cocky and ran her hand down his chest and stopped when she made it to his thang-thang! She gripped him.

"Whoa! Your so freaky, let me go. And your last name is Maraj." He pried her hands from his semi erect penis.

"Your no fun any more, tell me when spontaneous Safaree comes back." She turned to walk away.

"Where are you going? These are your flowers."

"My feet hurt I'm going to the car."

"Ain't this about a bitch." Safaree mumbled as the girl came back to the counter looking over the content in her hand.

"Here you go ma'am." She looked up. "Where did she go?"

"She claimed her feet hurt." he reached for the packets.

"Hey don't try Nicki, if she said her feet hurt then her feet hurt." she gave him a funky look. He just stared at her as she walked away.

"This is some bullshit, ain't nobody ever on a coons side." he said to himself taking the cart to the front register to pay. When he got outside he put the bags in the back then hopped in the passenger seat.

"Mhmm so you said your gonna do what now." Nicki said then smiled. "Ooo that sounds nice." Safaree looked at her licking her lips. "You want me to call you daddy, I can do that." Safaree snatched the phone.

"Hello? Don't get quiet now nigga." Nicki was cracking up at this point.

"I was just joking!" she couldn't stop her giggles. "It was a joke Safaree calm down." He went through her call log and saw that Jalani was the last person she called 30 minutes ago.

"That shit is not funny Nicki." he put the key in the ignition.

"Well if you gave me my Lollicock then I wouldn't be so sexually frustrated." she said seriously. SB just shook his head.

"I'm still over you for naming it that." he pulled into traffic. "If you want it that bad I'll give it to you." Nicki side eyed him.

"Don't play with my hormones Safaree, I will take you in this car right now." She pulled out a piece of gum and popped it in her mouth.

"I'm not playing. I'm tired of being molested by you, and you catching a attitude with me when I don't give you what you asked for. So you win I'll do you."

"Well you don't have to say it like it's a chore." She looked out the window.

"It's not, but get ready for tonight girl." Nicki rolled her eyes.

"Yeah I'll believe it when I feel it."

Around 2 @ the house


Safaree walked into the bedroom to find Nicki siting in the middle of the bed indian style looking through his notebook. She kept it with her at all times reviewing his notes. If the name had a meaning he would write it next to it with his thoughts about it. Feeling his presence she looked up at him pushing her glasses up on her face. Just then it seemed that all the babies moved at once. She gripped her belly and looked. It seemed like something out of a horror movie. Lumps appeared all over her belly then it smoothed out again.

"What in the hell was that?"

"They have been doing that for the past hour." She picked up her phone and tweeted.
@NICKIMINAJ
0__0 Barbs I Think The Babies are Transforming or something in My Belly! *Side eyes them*


@NICKIMINAJ
Go That away Barb -----> RT Fetchtorious: @NICKIMINAJ How are you side eyeing them from above?

"What about the name Brook?" Nicki asked.

"Yeah I like that one." She placed a star next to the name so she would remember it was an option. They crossed out the names they knew they didn't want.

"Have you looked at the boy names?" She moved her eyes to look at him then just shook her head no and continued.

"You do know there is a possibility it could be a boy and he is going to need a name." Safaree didn't understand why every time he brought up the boy name she never said anything or would change the subject.

"I know that Safaree." she bit the inside of her lip and remained staring at the notebook. "What about Leah?"

"Nicki no i want to talk about boy names." He was getting frustrated.

"For what Safaree it's more than likely going to be a girl anyway, so why waste time. It is not common to have mixed triplets." Nicki said. She really didn't want to argue about this but felt that it was about to become one. And she was right.

"Damn it Nicki why can't you just go over boy names with me. Why not be prepared. It's uncommon to have triplets and we have them so it just might happen that we have mixed triplets. I don't get you sometimes, just talk to me." Safaree raised his voice at her.

"I've been down that road Safaree." Nicki said in a low voice. "It hurts me to even think of having a son, when i carelessly just gave up the last one I had." Tears were starting to streaming down her face.

"Shit." Safaree said under his breath. He had forgot all about that. They had only talked about the situation one time years ago and It was never brought back up again. He felt like the ass of the century. "Nic...I'm sorry we don't have to talk about it--"

"NO! You wanted to know and I'm going to tell you." She said through her tears. "I gave up a one of the most precious gifts given to me because of other peoples opinion. I wanted him..... I really did Safaree." She stared off in a trance."They told me I could never raise him at my age alone. Javon had just been killed in a car accident two weeks before, My father was fuming mad at me." She got quiet for a minute. "Aiden....that was going to be his name." She said smiling but it left quickly, Safaree just stood there listening. "With all those people in my ear telling all that I couldn't do, I never took the time to think about all the things I could do. I could have been a good mother. I would have loved him with everything in me. But i'll never get the chance. How did they know what I was ready to do Safaree? I don't think god will ever give me back what I gave a way so recklessly. I'm such a bad person, I shouldn't have done that to him, it wasn't his fault." Nick broke down crying hysterically. Safaree climbed in the bed and just held her in his arms.

"Baby I'm so sorry you had to go through that. Your not a bad person, don't say that. You made a mistake but nobody is judging you for that. God wouldn't have blessed you with three babies if he thought you were some evil person. I'm sure Aiden knows his mommy loved him very much and did what she thought was best for him. You can't dwell on the past baby. It happened now you have to learn from it and move into your future." Nicki had calmed down but tears still fell. She sat there in his arms just thinking of all the what ifs. What if she would have told everyone fuck you and your opinion and kept the baby. Would she have done a good job. Would she have messed up both her life and his. She buried her face in Safarees chest trying to make all the thoughts go away.

"I'm sorry Faree. I don't mean to bring this into our relationship but I have never really come to terms with it." Nicki said muffled.

"It's fine this is why I am here, to help you through times like this. I want you to calm down and get your breathing under control."

"I'm sick of crying all the time. These babies are making me soft." they chuckled.

"I try to keep a smile on your face, but a good cry is needed every once in awhile. Are you hungry?"

"I'm always hungry these days."

"What do you want so i can make it, then i'll get things ready for tonight." SB said wiggling his eyebrows.

"I want a snicker and a Oreo shake. And I told you I will believe you about tonight when I feel it."

"You will not give our kids that sugar rush."

"Fine I just want my cranberries & almonds."

"Okay I'll go get that for you." he kissed her lips and left to go to the kitchen. When he hit the stairs Nicki got out the bed and went into her closet to find her shoe box full of sweets and junk food. She pulled her Snicker with almonds out hurrying to open it. She bit the snicker and sighed. This was a basket someone gave them both for her and Safaree. She knew Safaree was an overnight health freak and wouldn't let her eat the food so she hid it from him. When he asked what happened to she told him she didn't remember ever getting one.

"I'm such a fatty for this." She mumbled before taking another big bite. She heard a cabinet close downstairs and threw the snicker back into the box and got off the floor walking quickly back to the bed. She chewed fast trying to swallow the contents in her mouth. She crawled back on the bed back to her spot. Safaree entered the room and looked at her then made a funny face. "What?" Nicki asked. He looked around the room.

"What were you just doing?"

"Nothing baby. Hand me my snack." He walked over to the bed then sniffed the air and looked at her. "Why does it smell like chocolate in here?"

"I don't smell chocolate." She tried giving him the most innocent look she could which only let him know she was lying. She took the cranberries from his hand and placed them on her leg then reached for the almonds but SB pulled them away out of her reach.

"Let me smell your breath."

"What?....No... Safaree just give me my almonds." he narrowed his eyes at her. "I can do that too you weirdo." She mimicked him then smiled.

"HA! You have chocolate on your teeth." Nicki quickly closed her mouth and licked her teeth.

"No I don't Safaree." He snatched the cranberries off her lap.

"Let me smell your breath." Nicki rolled off the bed to the other side.

"Stop Safaree."

"Where is it Nicki?"

"Where is what babe?" she sounded innocent.

"Whatever you were eating on."

"I'm telling you I don't have anything." Safaree jumped on the bed and Nicki took off towards the bathroom but was to slow and he caught her by the arm. "No Safaree." he turned her around but she wouldn't open her mouth.

"Oh so you not going to open your mouth?" Nicki shook her head. Safaree placed his lips against hers. She couldn't resist his lips, and Safaree knew this. He kept giving her closed kisses and with each one her resistance fell. She put her arms around his neck and tongued him down. SB broke the kiss. "Where's the snicker?"

"Are you serious right now?"

"Very." She rolled her eyes and pushed him.

"I told your ass I didn't have anything." She walked back to the bed and picked up the notebook. "What about Casey?" They made eye contact and then both shook their heads no. Safaree was still thinking of how to get her to give up the location of her goods. "Stop staring at me and go cook like you said you were." He just turned and left. Nicki let out a sigh of relief, then fell back on her pillows. A couple minutes later the babies were at it again. They weren't hurting Nicki but it was a weird feeling. "I swear 'foh gawd if yall don't stop moving. What are you trying to do crawl out, be still." she placed her hand on the side of her belly breathing deeply. The settled down a couple minutes later. Buzz! She picked up her phone.

My Love
Baked Chicken, Greens, Baked potatoes?


She grinned.

My World
We voted and it was a split decision. See two off us wanted it, but the other two weren't feeling the BAKED potato. So we wanted to know if you would compromise this one time and make them LOADED mashed potatoes? Take your time, we'll wait.


He shook his head.

My World
Oh and to let you know I wasn't on the side that wanted the Loaded mashed potatoes. *Smiles*


My Love
The lies. If that is what my OTHER babies want then I can't deny them.


"Yessss." Nicki said a little to loudly then covered her mouth.

"I heard you." Safaree said into the intercom in the kitchen. Nicki giggled.

Later that Evening


"You ready to eat dwarf?" he said into the intercom. Nicki climbed out of bed then down the stair to the kitchen.

"Whatever happen to saying dinners ready you jerk?"

"That's not me." He pulled out her chair for her.

"Well make it you." she put her napkin in her lap. "Mmm this smells good Safaree."

"You doubted my culinary skills woman?"

"No, just stating facts." Safaree made her plate then sat it in front of her. She stared at the potatoes with all the fixings on them butter, real bacon bits, sour cream, and cheese. He mouth watered just staring thinking about how they would taste. Safaree sat next to her with his plate, they prayed then dug in to their plates. Nicki picked up her fork and made a beeline to the mashed potatoes and stuffed them in her mouth. "OMG Faree these are so good."

"I hope the BABIES enjoy them, since you wanted the baked potato." he put a piece of chicken in his mouth. She opened her eyes and looked at him.

"They do. Pass the hot sauce for my greens."

"No spicy anything for you. Deal." He sprinkled the hot sauce on his.

"Your so rude. Can you at least get me my grape juice please." he put the bottle down and went to the fridge and Nicki picked up the bottle and put hot sauce on her greens then mixed them really well. She put the bottle back before SB turned around and came back to the table. "Thank you."

"No problem. So are you excited about your Barbs, they will be here in two days?"

"Yes. Do you think they will really help me with my garden?" She asked putting a fork full of greens in her mouth and chewed.

"You know they will do just about--" Nicki started to cough and hit her chest. She grabbed her juice, she put to much hot sauce. "Slow down there is more."

"I'm good, keep talking." She barely said above a whisper.

"Yeah like i was saying you know they will do just about anything you ask them to do."

"I hope so. I really want this garden to work out and for them to be apart of it."

"It will go fine. Yall should have fun out back digging through all the worms and things."

"You say it like your not going to be out there."

"Oh i'm not. Remember you said you didn't need my ugly self, so I could stay inside."

"I said that?" Nicki asked pointing to her chest.

"Yeah it was you." he pointed at her with his fork.

"Oh...your so serious, I was just playing babe. You know your a cutie pie."

"Don't try and butter me up now short stuff." She laughed with a mouth full of potatoes. "Ew that's not attractive Nic."

"Your supposed to think I look sexy no matter what I look like SA-FAR-EE." she leaned her head side to side with every pronunciation of his name. "Kiss me." she poked out her lips with butter and sour cream all on them.

"No."

"If you loved me you would kiss me." he stared at her then leaned over slowly and placed his lips on hers, she giggled. "I can't believe you did it."

"The list of things I do out of love for you keeps getting longer." He wiped his mouth and continued with his meal.

"Oh so your keeping a list?"

"Not really but I know it's a lot of things that I have done, that if it wasn't for the fact that I love you I wouldn't have done it."

"I love you too."

They sat for an hour or so just talking and laughing about random things. Safaree figured out Nicki put the hot sauce on her food by the number of times she kept choking on the greens.



"I wish you would wake me up talking about some heartburn." Safaree said putting the leftovers away.

"You will too, why you frontin?" she sitting at the table still with a toothpick in her mouth and her feet elevated on the chair next to her. Safaree walked over to her and got eye level.

"No I'm not. I'ma get on top of ya, do my business the roll off and go to sleep." He said in his Mrs. Celie voice which made Nicki do her obnoxious laugh.

"Your a lunatic." He laughed. "I'm going to go hop in the shower."

"What about desert?" SB pointed to the oven.

"Is that why it's so hot in this camp?" Nicki lifted her shirt fanning herself. "Is it pie?"

"Yeah apple. I have some ice cream in the freezer. I figured since you are already eating unhealthy today."

"I didn't have a snicker." Nicki said again lying. That was her story and she was sticking to it.

"Guilty! I was talking about the potatoes." Nicki just walked away.
---

After her shower she went and looked at herself in the mirror. Her belly had gotten huge she thought as she put her towel-robe around it. She walked out to her chase lounge and picked up the container of Tummy Butter and rubbed it all over her belly. She proceeded to lotion the rest of her body, she heard Safarees shower cut off. Five minutes later he entered her room in nothing but his black towel. His chest still had droplets of water still on it, Nicki unconsciously licked her lips and Safaree saw.

"You must like what you see." he sat at the foot of the bed picking up his mens Vaseline lotion.

"You alright." she sat there staring at him lotion his body.

"Girl you know you want my sexy body." He said rubbing down his stomach biting his lip.

"Be quiet." She went and sat on the bed. He shook his head no and climbed up the bed towards her.

"There will be everything but quiet in this room in a minute. Come here babe."

"Safaree don't start something and then don't finish because that shit will get you fucked up."

"I'm not playing with you now come give daddy a kiss." she leaned over and kissed him. It started off as pecks but turned much more passionate. Nicki had been waiting for this moment for months. She had so much pent up energy and it was about to all come out tonight. Safaree undid her towel and made her sit back against the pillows. He trailed kisses down her body, and her body was picking up every sensation he was giving her.

"Mmm your so soft. I love kissing your skin it feels like soft flower petals against my lips." Nicki smiled looking at him. "Hes so cute when he wants to be." she thought. He made it to her center and kissed her mound. Her center folds were soaked so when he pulled back to look at her he had her juices on his lips so he licked it off. "I almost forgot what you taste like." Nicki bit the corner of her bottom lip.

"Well go get reacquainted with the flavor." she said with a lustful voice.

"My pleasure." Safaree went to work on her, showing her no mercy. She just kept cumming until he had his fill ten minutes later. He leaned over a breathless Nicki. "You still want me because you came like six times, quick." She just nodded her head yes. Nickis cell phone went off but she was to spent to search for the phone. Safaree leaned over and opened the drawer and silenced it. He was about to close the drawer when something caught his eye. He picked it up. "Nicki what is this?"

"What is what baby?" she had her eyes closed.

"This!" she opened one eye then the other one popped open.

"Give it here Safaree." She went to snatch it from him but he pulled it away. "Ugh fine I don't care."

"Why do you have this?" he asked twirling it around.

"Be smart Safaree." Nicki said.

"And what is it attach to he followed the cord. "Your iPod? Hahahaha what sings to you?"

"No it vibrates with the beat. Now put that away and come take care of me." Nicki kissed down the arm that was supporting him.

"So you have used this?" he ignored her.

"Yes Safaree, I have needs and they were not being met."

"So this met your needs?" he looked down at her.

"It could never do what you do or make me feel the way you make me feel babe." He threw the sex toy back in the drawer.

"I don't want you using that any more, especially not why you are pregnant Nicki."

"Mkay."

"I mean it Nic."

"Okay now give me my loving please." she squirmed under him. He entered her slowly. "Sssssss." Nicki closed her eyes at the feeling she missed so bad.

"Whoa it is like the freaking Deep Blue sea down here. And your tight as hell."

"All this you've been passing up for no reason." She moved her hips to meet his. A couple of pumps later she came all over him but she had a lot more to give and that's exactly what she did. Safaree had know idea what he was in for that night.



Friday


Nicki and Safaree waited in the limo for the driver to return with the Barbs in tow. Nicki was so excited so see them. She talked all day yesterday about all the things they were gonna do to Safaree. He was happy they were here so she could talk their ears off. The driver was to instruct the Barbs to remain calm until they were all in the limo, she didn't want her presence to be known. This was L.A.X., paparazzi basically lived there.  They were parked a ways down with the hazard lights on away from the bust terminals. She was staring out the back window, while Safaree leaned against the door. All of a sudden Nicki started bouncing up and down on her knees hitting Safarees shoulder.

"Here they come. Here they come Safaree." She squealed out.

"Okay stop hitting me."

"Aww look at them thinking they cute with they big glasses and heels on." She smiled then moved to the other end of the seats so they wouldn't have to climb over her and her belly. Steven opened the doors for the girls and they climbed in quickly and he closed the door before putting the bags in the trunk. Each girl was allowed one bag. Steven got in the car and pulled off. The back of the limo was really quiet. Nicki looked from each girl to the next watching them look at each other.

"Why yall being so quiet. I can take yall back if you don't want to be here." Nicki said giving them a playfully stank look.

"The driver said not to be all hyper HB." April said.

"Muny that was just while we were AT the airport."

"OH!" The girls said together then began talking really fast all at once to Nicki.

"Wait wait wait one at a time." She giggled. "Let me see if I can get your names right." She turned to the Barb to her left. "Your Muny real name April."

"Yep yep."

"Your SoPinkBarbie real name Tara." she pointed to the Barb sitting next to Muny.

"In the flesh." She smiled. Nicki turned to her right.

"Your Barb_theBad real name Toni."

"Mhmm." Toni said. She looked over at the last Barb sitting next to Safaree.

"So that means you have to be ilalaLOVENICKI real name Lesley."

"Well aren't you the brightest crayon in the box." She giggled. Safaree busted out laughing.

"Coooooonnn." He dapped her up. Nicki rolled her eyes at Lesley.

"Lesley I will put you out on the side of this road."

"No, calm yaself. I'm sorry HB." She said smiling. Nicki twisted her lips to the side.

" Mhhmm anyway, Barbs I'm happy you guys accepted  my invitation to spend the weekend with me."

"Like there was any other option HB." Toni said.

"Yeah, If we would have said no we would have been the biggest fools." Tara said scrolling through her blackberry.

"Give me that Tara." Nicki said holding her hand out.

"Give you what?" she asked.

"Your phone. No phones this weekend, everyone's parents has the number to the prepaid phone we bought. And we told them to call whenever to check on you. So everyone hand over the phones." Everyone looked dumbfounded while handing over the phones. "Oh pick up your jaws you will survive two days. Safaree hand me the baggy." Safaree pulled out a small long black bag and they passed it down to Nicki to put the phones in.

"What are we doing this weekend HB?" Muny asked.

"Nosy! You'll find out when we do it."

"So rude." Muny laughed. Nicki stuck her tongue out at her.

"Safaree why are you so quiet?" Lesley asked. He looked down at her.

"I'm thinking."

"You do that?" she said with the straightest face. He gave her his dead face.

"I thought we were going to be friends this weekend."

"No, I told you you have no friends this weekend." Nicki said.

"You still mad about that?"

"You damn right I am." Nicki said rolling her eyes at him. The Barbs looked at each other. Steven knocked on the divider letting Nicki they were getting close to the house. The girls were talking among themselves now. "Ooo let's do this thing Lauren did to me the other day. Okay close your eyes Barbs." Safaree just shook his head. The girls did as they were told. "Okay I want you to think about anything in the world. You can think about a boy or a place you really like going. You can think about anything you want except a pink elephant." Aprils right eye popped open.

"What?" Nicki popped her leg.

"Close your eye." She did as told. "Are you guys thinking about the pink elephant?"

"Yes." they said laughing.

"Well keep your eyes closed until your not." Nicki looked at them. The car turned into their neighborhood and proceeded to their block.

"HB all I can think about is NOT thinking about the pink elephant which is thinking about it." Toni said with her eyes still shut. The car came to a halt then Safaree snapped a picture of them with.

"I can't believe you made them do that." He said out loud. They all opened their eyes.

"Well I couldn't let them see how to get here. Sorry Barbs." Nicki said.

"You could have just given us blindfolds." Tara said.

"Yeah but this was much more entertaining for me." She clapped her hands. "Out the car ladies and into the house." they climbed out and were met at the door by Martin. He led them to the right while Nicki and Safaree went left up the stairs.

"Whoa whoa whoa...why we not going that way with them?" Muny asked martin. Nicki turned around.

"I have to check on somethings I'll see you in a minute geesh." Nicki turned and continued walking up the stairs.

Martin leads the girls to the opposite wing of the house to their rooms. They got to the rooms there were stars on the doors. April and Toni's stars were on one door and then Lesley and Tara's stars on the door across from theirs.

"In your rooms you will find a bag filled with things you will need." Martin said then turned to leave.

"Wait need for what?" Toni asked but he just kept walking.

"What tip guy?" Lesley said. They entered their rooms and found Nicki had all kind of goodies for them on the dresser but had a big sign over them reading DO NOT TOUCH UNTIL INSTRUCTED OTHERWISE! -HB 


They looked on the bed and seen bags saying OPEN ME! They tore through the bags and pulled out black jumpsuits and black lace up boots that the people in the army wear.

"What are these for?" April asked.

"Yeah!" Lesley yelled from across the hall. "Wait, 'hol up. Look at the bottom of the bag." she yelled. April dug deep into the big bag and pulled out a folded up piece of paper and opened it up.

Dear Barbs,


If you are reading this that means you found the first part to the scavenger hunt I have set up for you. You are paired with who you are rooming with. You have 30 minutes to find all the things on the list attached to the side of the bag. There should also be a map of the house there as well so you know where places are and so you don't get lost. Also you have the other teams list as well *Side eyes SB* to make the game more interesting. Have fun and may the best team win. REMEMBER I SEE EVERYTHING! Love, HB.


"What does she mean she sees everything?" Tara asked.

"Who knows with that crazy lady." Lesley said. All four girls put on the clothes they were given and started.

Meanwhile Nicki and Safaree were in her room going over last minute things for the weekend. Safaree helped Nicki in to her large men's jumper, she didn't want it to be really tight.

"So you got all the movies I asked for right Safaree?"

"Yes Nicki for the thousandth time. I got everything on the list that you asked for. Stop hounding me."

"You don't have to get all nasty with me, I just want to make sure everything is together." She walked out the room and went to the security room. She turned on the lights and sat in the chair roaming her eyes over the screens. She saw April and Toni in the front yard grabbing the water hose. She grabbed her pink pen and scratched it off their list that was sitting in front of her. Safaree came in and sat in the chair next to her and kissed her cheek.

"I didn't mean to snap at you like that. I'm sorry." Nicki didn't say anything she just marked gardening fork off of Tara and Lesley's list that Safaree was supposed to be checking and went back to watching the screen. "Babe I'm said I'm sorry, don't start that silent treatment stuff. I didn't mean it, forgive me." he rolled her chair closer to him putting his hands on her belly. One of the babies kicked on the spot he had his hand on. "You got my coons mad at me to? That ain't even right." Nicki tried but couldn't hide her smile. She looked over at the monitors and seen that Toni had picked up the bag of gloves, Nicki went to check it off but noticed that it wasn't on their list. She leaned over to see it on the other teams.

"What is she doing?" She watched as she put the bag in a different spot, so when the other girls figured out their riddle and looked for them it wouldn't be there. "She is such a cheater." She laughed.

"Fine stay mad at me then." Safaree picked up his red pen and stared at the monitors as well. Nicki looked over at him and smiled. She leaned over and grabbed at his chin but he pulled away. She did it again and caught it this time making him look at her. Nicki imitated his face.

"Stop being mad." She said.

"It's okay for you to be mad but not me." He checked an item off the list.

"I wasn't mad you jerk. You assumed I was mad."

"So your not made at me?" She shook her head no then pulled him by his ears to meet her lips. She snaked her tongue into his mouth and he accepted gladly. "You were mad at me." Safaree said  breaking the kiss.

"Nuh uh" She pulled him back into the kiss wrapping her arms around his neck. He moved down to her neck sucking and biting on it. "Safaree...Mmmm....Faree that's my spot."

"I know." He went back to her spot. She giggled but it was cut off by a moan.

"Don't leave a mark Safaree." he kept going and the wetter she became. She kept squirming in her seat which made it twist a back and forth a little. She was rubbing her legs together.

"Stop moving Nic." he said against her neck. But it was causing friction down below and she was coming close to the point of no return.

"Uhhhhhhhh..Mmmmmmm...Ssssssss...Yessssssssss." Safaree leaned back and looked at her.

"Did you just?" he looked down at her. She looked at him bashfully. "Wow." Buzz! Safaree pulled his phone out.

Martin
Where are yall????


Safaree looked at the screen to see the girls standing in the backyard with all their things off the list.

"Oh shit the Barbs." Nickis gasped.

"See look what you did, no telling how long they have been done."

"She starts the kiss and it's MY fault she says." he opens the door for her to walk out.

"Safaree I have to go change my underwear first." She waddled to the stairs.

"No I'll get them you stay hear and start undressing. If i let you go it will take forever."

---

Safaree and Nicki made it to the back yard 15 minutes later.

"So who made it here first?" Nicki asked.

"We did HB." April said doing a Ta-Da stance with a big goofy smile on her face.

"We would have but for some reason we couldn't find the gloves." Nicki new why. "Are you sure you put them by the bar because we did figure out the riddle.

"They weren't there eh?" Nicki said staring at Toni who was looking off in a different direction.

"Nope."

"Do either of you know where the other gloves could be?" she looked at April and Toni.

As innocent as they possibly could they answered "No HB."

"They probably found them and hid them." Tara said.

"Nuh uh. We won fair and square." April said.

"What's your definition of  'Fair and Square'?" Nicki asked them.

"We made it back to Martin first." said Toni. Nicki shook her head.

"You did hide those gloves. Martin go look behind the plant in the den. I think you might find something out of place." Both girls eyes grew as big as saucers.

"I told you we shouldn't have done it." Toni looked at April.

"WHAT? You will not put this on me. It was all your bright idea." Both girls started going back and forth.

"Hey I don't care who's idea it was, you both lose for cheating." the girls rolled their eyes at each other. Martin came back with the gloves.

"So are you girls ready to help me with my garden?"

"What garden?" all four replied.

"The garden we are going to start."

"When?" Asked Lesley.

"Right now."

"I don't do dirt or soil or whatever you call it HB." Muny said.

"So you trying to tell me that you are not going to help me April?"

"I mean I didn't say all that, I'll hand yall what you need." She had a very serious face.

"Girl take these gloves you're helping me." she passed out the gloves and they got to work.

---

"Major Payne or Set It Off?" Safaree said holding up the two movies.

"Set It off." three out of 5 said.

"Set It Off it is." he walked and put the dvd in the player. The girls were scattered in the mini theater seats. Nicki and Safaree sat up top.

"Okay the popcorn is done popping come and get it." Nicki was standing by the popcorn stand she had. "There are seasonings if you want them." Everyone eventually got settled into their seats and watched the movie.

"I really enjoyed today." Nicki whispered to Safaree.

"I'm glad. Martin got some really good footage of you guys in the backyard trying to turn the dirt." he whispered back. Nicki giggled. About an hour into the project everyone gave up. So there are patches in one section of the grass. He pulled her closer to him and she wrapped her arms round his waist taking in his sent. When they looked down they seen 4 sets of eyeballs staring back at them.

"ONIKAFAREE!" 3 sets yelled out laughing. Toni was Dricki even though it CLEARLY wasn't.

*OMG this chapter was....It just WAS okay!!! More with the Barbs next chapter. Those kids should be coming any day now.

Oh and I want to just thank you guys for sticking with my story. Okay well tisall*

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.

The Color Nail Polish. (Sorry bout the toes Ewlll) lol

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.
