Road to Recovery...

*Enjoy everyone.*

Safaree was back home with the babies a couple days after Nicki slipped into a coma. It had been a week and a half and still no change in Nickis condition. Safaree kept himself busy with the babies, or they were keeping him busy. The girls were okay but Ethan seemed to be irritable every since the left the hospital. Safaree felt helpless. His mom and Nickis mom and everyone for the matter had been there to help him but no one could seem to keep Ethan happy.

"Mama Carol I'm going to head to the hospital to check on Nicki, do you need anything?"

"No go and make sure our girl is still doing good."

"Alright I'll call you if there are any changes." he walked over and kissed the girls and Ethan then left.

Safaree drove the all to familiar path to the hospital. If he never had to drive it again it wouldn't phase him. He wanted Nicki to be home with him and their kids. He pulled into a parking space, then hurried inside.

"Hey Mr. Samuels."

"Hey Jake, you keeping this place safe for my girl?" he asked the security guard, pushing the elevator button.

"You know it. Maybe today is the day sleeping beauty wakes up."

"Let's hope man. I'll catch you later." he hoped on the elevator to the 6th floor.

Getting off he went to his right and down the long hall. Nicki was located in the last room on the left. Safaree walked in and saw her laying in her bed with a nurse standing over her. From the back it didn't look like April nor Nacy he just figured it was a new girl.

"How is she doing today?" he asked. The nurse turned around and swiftly walked passed him and out the door, quickly stating she had been fine. He looked back, then just shook his head. "Strange people in this world." Walking towards Nicki he braced himself, it was still hard to look at her with the tube in her mouth.

Safaree felt her hands, they were sort of dry. He walked over to her bag and grabbed her lotion out of the side compartment. He started with her hands then worked his way up to her elbows massaging the lotion onto her skin. He knew if she woke up and felt her skin all dry she would yell at him for not taking care of her. He chuckled at the thought. He then moved to her feet, she was in need of a touch up on her pedicure but he didn't mind. Safaree began massaging her feet with the lotion. He thought back to the day he gave her a pedicure and the look on her face when he said he was going to paint her toes. Safaree let out a laugh then realized he had tears streaming down his face.

"Come on baby you have to pull through this. I need you, we need you. You are not done with this life yet, you have a million other things to accomplish Nic. You have so many dreams that haven't come true yet. Our kids need their mommy here for them." He got up moving to her side. Safaree was so confused and felt so alone. Rubbing her cheek, "I know you can hear me, I know you are trying your best to get back. I won't push you, I know you hate that." He kissed her forehead. "I have to go now. I left Mama with all three of the babies, so I need to get back. I think Ethan is moody because your not there, he is so cranky when it gets close to bed time, I wonder where he gets that from." he smiled. "See you later Nicki." With that he left.

Nicki heard every word.

Three days later Safaree got a phone call around five a.m. He was tired, aggravated, sad, and mildly depressed all balled up into one.

Groggily he picked up the phone, "Hello."

"Hello Mr. Samuels?"

"Yes this is him."

"This is Nancy from St. Josephs Hospital." his stomach dropped.

"Yes is Nicki okay?" he sat up in his bed.

"She's awake." That's all he heard be fore he hung up the phone. He raced to get his clothes on. Safaree ran into the room his mother was in.

"Mom...Mom wake up."

"What Safaree? Does one of the girls need changing? You know you are really going to have to get over the whole "they are girls thing, it's weird!" they are your children."

"What? No mom, Nicki woke up. I just got the call, I need you to listen for the babies. I'm going to take Mama M. with me."

"Praise God. Go go! I'll be alright. Call me and let me know what's going on."

"I will." He ran into Mrs. Maraj room and woke her up telling her the joyous news. She got up and put on her clothes and they were out the door heading for St. Josephs.

Safaree practically ran off the elevator and was heading for Nickis room when he was stopped by Nacy. He was ready to plow through her to get to Nicki.

"Wait Safaree there is something you need to know before you go in there."

"Well what is it? I need to see her." he was antsy.

"She has lost some of her memory." he looked her in her eyes.

"How much?" Mrs. Maraj asked.

"She remembers up until the kidnapping but she doesn't remember being pregnant during it though. When I tried to tell her about the babies she got all hostile and yelled "BITCH IF I HAD KIDS I THINK I WOULD REMEMBER THEM!" then asked for you and kicked me out." Nancy explained.

Safaree closed his eyes and prepared himself for this  talk with Nicki, he knew it wouldn't be an easy one.

"Thanks for the heads up Nacy, we have it from here." He took Mama M. by the hand and walked towards Nickis room. Safaree stopped right in front of it trying to get himself together.

"It will be fine SB. We just have to help her remember." Mrs. Carol reassured him. He took a deep breath and pushed through the door. Nickis eyes lit up.

"Safaree!" she held out her arms for him. He rushed right in to them. Nicki seen her mother once Safaree hugged her. "Mommy." She started to tear up. "What happen to me you guys?" she pulled away from Safaree and he wiped her tears away then looked back at her mom.

Mama Carol walked to the other side of Nickis bed and sat beside her. Taking Nickis hand in hers she started to explain.

"Nicki I need for you to pay close attention to what we tell you okay baby. We would never lie to you, do you understand me." She said in a gentle voice.

"Yes ma'am."

Her  mom went on explaining what had happen over the past couple of weeks, with Safaree filling in as they went. When they were done Nickis cheeks were drenched with tears.

"Why can't I remember my children Safaree?" he hugged her.

"It's okay baby, we'll help you remember. I won't stop reminding you until you remember everything." he kissed her cheek. "I've missed you so much Nicki, I thought I had lost you. I know one little person that is going to be ecstatic to see you."

"Who?" she asked.

"Ethan, he is already a mamas boy. He has been missing you crazy."

"Ethan? That's our sons name, right?"

"Yeah Nic."

"And Zaria and Daria are the girls names."

"Yes. Do you want me to get them here so you can see them?"

"No, I want to get better first. They shouldn't have to see me like this, all messed up in the head. When I woke up and talked to the doctor they said I can get out in a couple of days after the monitor me and make sure i'm okay to be at home. I hope everything is okay because I need to get back in the studio. OMG my Barbs, they must be going crazy."

"They are okay. I've been tweeting them regularly letting them know your progress. But I do think you should tweet them and let them know you are awake. That tweet will make them happy." he rubbed her hair.

"Don't you think you should worry about your family first Nicki before you hop into recording?" he mom asked.

"Mom I need to work."

"But--"

"MOM! I need to write, I need to put out music and get back to the Nicki I was before all this BS happened."

"Fine Onika, do what you want." She got up. "Safaree can you take me back to the house. I'm glad your awake Onika."

"Mom don't leave, I'm sorry I didn't mean to yell."

"No, I need to get back and help with the babies. Get some rest." Mrs. Carol kissed her on the forehead and left out the room.

"Tell her I said I'm sorry. Are you coming back tonight?" Nicki held his hand.

"Yeah I'll be back as soon as I make sure the kids are okay and have everything they need." Nicki sighed. She wanted to care more than she did about the babies. She figured she would just have to put forth more effort.

"Give them a kiss for me."

"I will. Do you want some food?"

"Yeah I want you to cook that chicken pasta stuff you always make."

"With the sausage?"

"Yeah, that with the bread sticks."

"Damn you making a coon cook for real. I was hoping you would want Burger King or something."

"No I want  a good meal."

"If that's what you want then I'll make it for but that means I won't be back for awhile."

"If that's the price I have to pay for a good meal, I guess i'll just have to deal."

Laughing, "Still the same Nicki. We just have to get you back on course a little."

"Do you think I'll ever remember Faree?"

"Yeah you'll remember because I won't give up. By the time I'm done you are going to have crystal clear memory."

Nicki pulled him into a deep kiss. She loved him so much and was sad she couldn't be there for him for the past couple weeks. Safaree was a crazy coon but she knew the man deep within and he was caring and at times sensitive.

Safaree had missed being able to hold her in his arms and let her know that he will always be there. He pulled away from her.

"Stop you know we can't do anything for another couple of weeks. So stop the temptation now." Safaree stood up from the bed.

"Can't blame a girl for trying. Hurry back with my food."

"Okay I should be back around noon. Make sure you get some sleep, and tweet the Barbs when you wake up so they will stop hounding me."

"Okay." He walked towards the door. "Safaree." he turned around. "Take a picture of them for me."

"I will." Safaree left out. He didn't feel like he thought he would, seeing her awake and all. It hurt him that she didn't remember the three things that were once so important to her.

--

"Wayne what do you mean?" Nicki was getting more and more pissed by the minute.

"I'm saying I don't think it will be healthy nor a good business venture for you to try and rush an album out by Valentines Day."

"So you're saying you don't believe in me?"

"Nicki you know that's not what I'm saying, so stop. You just came out of a coma not five hours ago and your already talking business. In the last hour that me, Birdman, and Slim been here I haven't once heard you say anything about your kids. Don't you think that's something you should be concerned with?"

"I am concerned, but they are not here right now and I need to get back to work, so can you just give me clearance to start production on the next album."

"Barbie, you need to get better first." Birdman stepped up.

"I AM better. Stop babying me please, it's making me sick."

"We are not babying you, it's called we care. You are not just an artist to us Onika, you're family." slim said. She got quiet. "Listen I'm going to talk to the doctor and If she says it is okay for you to start back then we will TALK about it, but if she says no then the idea is out the window. We all know your work ethic Nicki, you go some days on just two ours of sleep. If we let you back into the studio for this album you have to promise to take better care of yourself."

"I will slim if you want me to put it in writing I will. I just need to be back where things are familiar, and the booth is what I know will keep me sane right now."

"Like he said we will see what the doctor says." Wayne said. He really did like that idea either but it was her career and life so he'd meet her halfway on this. "We got some things to handle, you get your rest and try and start remembering. We'll talk later."

"Bye." When they opened the door Martin was there. He had waited until they finished talking. "Hey Martin."

"What's up Nicki!" more of a greeting then an actual question. "I have all the things you asked for: Mac, your account book, and iPod. Anything else?" he asked.

"Why does it seem like you're in such a rush, you have another job you need to be at?" she eyed him.

"Well Safaree needs me to go get something for the babies." she rolled her eyes. If she heard one more thing about those damn babies she was going to scream.

"Fine goodbye Martin. I'll call you if I need anything." he left quickly. Nigga ain't never moved that fast for me she thought.

Nicki went over her account book making sure everything was being payed and checks where going to the right places. There were no bills due in the time that she was in a coma, so everything was how she left it. She had an accountant but she was no fool, she was the only one allowed to sign off on checks. Her dad in her later teen years, taught her to always know what's going on with your business that way you can't get screwed over.

Nicki was flipping through the book one last time, when a couple of pictures fell out. It was of her and the babies the day they were delivered. She studied her face, she looked so happy. She moved to another picture, it was of Daria. She had Nickis nose and fingers. Nicki held the picture of Zaria side by side with her sister and smiled.

"Their beautiful." she said out loud. She pulled Ethans photo out of the book and ran her hand across it. He looked so much like his daddy. "He definitely has Safarees head." she chuckled then put the photos back. "Why can't I remember them?" she held herself. She would never deny they were hers but she just felt nothing when it came to them.

Two Days Later


Nicki was back home and doing well in her eyes. She still had no contact with her children, the doctor said it was best not to force them on her until she was ready. If they did it wouldn't be good for her or the babies. She did pump her breast so they could eat, she had heard that Simalac had killed two infants in December and didn't want that for the triplets.

Right Now Ethan was screaming at the top of his longs, while Nicki was trying to write and it was pissing her off. He had been crying off and on since she got home.

"SAFAREE can't you keep him quiet?" Safaree entered the room with Ethan on his shoulder, scowling at Nicki.

"Don't you think if I could I would?" just then Ethan got louder.

"Just give him here." she threw down her pen and pad.

"Not if that's going to be your attitude with him."

"He's my son Safaree now give him here."

"Now your all of a sudden claiming him after you said what you said yesterday?"

"I said I didn't mean it Safaree. I was just tired. Now hand him here please."

"Nicki I don't kn--"

"I would never hurt my son." She had a look of hurt on her face. Safaree looked at Ethan then back to Nicki.

"Be careful okay." He walked over and handed him to her. She cradled him in her arms, she felt his face and it felt hot but she figured it was from him crying so long.

"Calm down little one." he began to calm himself. "See there is no need for all that fussing your doing." he placed his hand on her breast and she seen him stick his small tongue out. "Your hungry?" she pulled her breast from her bra and he latched on immediately. Just then Nicki had a flashback. it was of her and Ethan In the hospital and she was breast feeding him for the first time.

"You're so beautiful Ethan and I love you and your sisters so much. I'm gonna try my best to be the greatest mommy to you three. I know I'll make mistakes along the way but I'm learning. I'm going to give you a good life. Just remember that mommy will always love you no matter what, okay?" he just laid there in her arms staring back then grinned.


"Oh my God Ethan." she looked at his little body. "Mommy so sorry." he looked up at her with his eyes wide.


"What's the matter Nicki?" Safaree asked.


"Nothing, it's just I had a vision or flashback of  me and Ethan sometime in the hospital." he put her hand over her mouth. "I'm such a bad mother, for not remembering him."


"Don't say that Nicki, It's not your fault. I'm not going to let you blame yourself, this is just something that happened." He looked to see Ethan was dozing off. "He's ready to be burped and put to sleep." he rubbed his arm.


"I'll do it." Safaree placed the cloth over her shoulder and watched as she burped their son. He went and got his camera and snapped some photos of her and him. Ethan spit up a little then fell asleep.


"I'll take him to his room." Safaree put the camera down.


"You finished his room?" She handed him over.


"You remember that his room wasn't done?"


"I guess I do." she smiled. "I'm remembering Safaree."


"I told you it was nothing to worry about." he left the room.

"Safaree I'm bout to go down to the studio."

"No you're not you have another customer." He put Zaria in her arms. Nicki sighed.

"Motherhood."

"Yep, welcome to it." She put her pen and pad back in her dresser, she knew she wasn't getting any work done anytime soon.

*Hope you liked it. Tell me your predictions on where you think the story is going.*

Ethans Room

INTER fuckin LUDE 2

*Here and when I say interlude I MEAN interlude*

Safaree was sitting in the Nursery with the babies. He was paying close attention to Daria, they had gotten her temperature down a bit but she was still warmer than she should be. He was super nervous about Nicki, they had been in the O.R. for over an hour and no one had come to tell him anything. He had been talking to God since they rushed her in the room. He didn't know what else he could say to the man upstairs, Safaree had spilled his guts to him. He just decided to leave it in his hands and tried to stop worrying about it, but he knew he was going to keep thinking about her until he seen her. That was the love of his life in there on the operating table. He was really kicking himself because he kept replaying over what the last thing he said to her. "NICKI JUST GO!" Now she might be gone forever and that's the last thing she heard come from him, not I love you Nicki. He held his head in his hands, he couldn't sit here and do nothing.

"Mama." he nudged her a little. She had fallen asleep in the chair next to him.

"Hmm?"


"I'm going to go see if I can gets some answers about Nicki. Will you watch Daria and make sure she's okay?"

"Sure baby, go." She sat up and stretched.

"Alright." he got up and went to the desk out front.

When Safaree walked up to the front desk there was no one there. He looked around and saw no one in sight. He was getting pissed off, the one time he did need the nurse she was nowhere around. He walked toward the way they took Nicki. Safaree walked up to the door and seen Nickis face through the small window. He seen the tube down her mouth and panicked. He went through the first set of heavy metal double doors. He was about to enter the second set then realized it was a sterile room. Safaree had seen enough episodes of Grey's Anatomy, thanks to Nicki, so he retrieved the soap they used to sterilize their hands. He washed up to his elbow. He then put on the robe then the gloves. Safaree smiled at him getting ready all by himself. He pushed the doors with his back and entered the room.

Safaree seen Dr. Reynolds taking off her gloves and surgical mask. The nurses were getting all the instruments together. He looked at Nicki and saw April covering up her body.

"April what are you doing?" she looked up at him with a tear rolling down her face.

"Safaree you're not supposed to be in here."

"FUCK were I'm supposed to be April, what's wrong with Nicki?" he already knew the answer but didn't want to accept the reality. "She's just under heavy anesthesia right?" he had tears on his cheeks. "She'll wake up in a couple of hours, right?" he looked at her. "Dr. Reynolds? You fixed the bleeding right?" he looked to her in the corner.

"I'm sorry Safaree. I stopped the bleeding but something else went wrong and we couldn't figure it out. She's gone."

"No. She can't be. Come on Nicki baby get up." he pulled her limp body from the table and into his arms. "NICKI WAKE UP. YOU CAN'T LEAVE ME." he was bawling his eyes out.

"Safaree she's gone."

"No you shut up. Get out. GET OUT NOW." he clutched her body against his.

"Come on everyone, out." Dr. Reynolds instructed. "I tried everything I could Safaree." she walked out after everyone.

Safaree ran his hand over her cheek, it was becoming cold to the touch. He pushed her hair off her face and buried his face in her neck crying.

"Baby please come back to me. I'm sorry for yelling at you. I need you Onika, please." he leaned her back staring at the face he loved do much. Safaree laid her back down on the table and kissed her lips one final time. He backed up to the wall and slid down to the floor just staring at her lifeless body. Tears uncontrollably fell from his eyes still, it was to the point he couldn't see through them. He leaned his head back and closed his eyes.

"Safaree...Safaree." His mother nudged him. "Safaree." she popped him on the arm. He jolted up from the rocking chair he was sleeping in to his feet. "Boy what's wrong with you?"

"Nicki, where is she? I have to check on her."

"Nicki is fine now. You've been sleep for about two hours, they figured out that once they stopped the bleeding she had a blood clot travel through to her lung. They did emergency surgery and removed it."

"Thank God. I need to go talk to her."

"Wait Safaree, there's one more thing."

"Please don't tell me she died, I can't handle that." he said.

"What? No, stop being dramatic. She is in a coma, and they are not sure for how long. They don't know How she slipped but she did. She is on a breathing machine now, I wanted to let you know before you walked in there. Go ahead and go see her now, they say she can hear us so don't go in there and freak her out."

"Yes ma'am."

"Now I'm about to go on home and get some rest. I'll come by tomorrow." She left out towards the elevators and he went the opposite towards Nickis room. Safaree took a deep breath and prepared himself before he walked through her door.

He went in and walked to the side of her bed and looked at her. She looked like regular Nicki to him, "thank God." he said to him self. She looked like she was getting some rest, rest that she deserved. He just hated that she had to get it under these circumstances.

"Nicki if you can hear me know that I love you okay. Come back to us, we need you." he didn't want to say to much, so he just sat by her bed holding her hand in his.


*Well now you know she is kinda okay, do I get credit for that? 0__0 So tell me your reactions to the beginning scene? I think I forgot to put Italics so you guys would know it was a dream....My bad! I seriously don't know when the next chapter will be up, so don't hound me. It will be up when it's freaking UP! Smooches*

Prayers Go Up...

*I left some things unanswered from previous chapters so I chose to start addressing them. And I know I said this would be done Mid December but things came up and I wasn't able to write as much as I needed to for that to happen so IDK when this is ending but hopefully before February starts! *

When Safaree arrived at the hospital both grandmothers were there fussing over the babies. Ms. Samules had Ethan and Mrs. Maraj had Daria, Zaria lay in her crib sleep.

"Yo this coon is always sleeping." He picked up Zaria. She opened one eye and looked at her daddy then shut it back. "Hey ma, hi Mrs. Carol." he put her close to his chest.

"Hi Safaree." both said.

"Hows Nicki? I didn't plan on being gone that long."

"She is in the room with her brothers." Mrs. Carol said sitting in the rocking chair.

"So Makiah got to see the babies?"

"Yeah, he said Ethan had your head." his mom laughed at the comment.

"The kid gets no love." he kissed Zaria and put her back in her crib then went to go see Nicki.

When he walked in the room the three siblings were playing the card game Bullshit on Nickis tray table. She was smiling hard so he figured Jelani was letting her win. She turned to see who came in the room.

"well well, look what the cat done drug in. What happen to I'll be back in a hour baby?" she mocked his voice.

"Yeah yeah shut up." he leaned over and kissed her.

"I'm just playin, did you rest well?" she turned and reshuffled the cards.

"It was good. What up Jelani?" he nodded towards him.

"I'm good. Congratulations on the rugrats."

"Thank you."

"Don't call them that." Nicki interjected.

"I heard you were talking bout my head man." he put Makiah in a head lock.

"All lies." he burst out laughing.

"Naw I think you said it."

"Hey you two calm down." Nicki said.

Just then two men walked in the room in suits. They flashed their badges to let them know they were cops. Nicki sat up in the bed and Safaree stood next to her.

"Can we help you?" SB asked.

"Yes I'm detective Baxter and this is my partner detective Kepler. We are here to speak with Ms. Maraj."

"That's me." Nicki spoke up. "What's going on."

"Well we need to speak with you on two matters: one being a Mr. Aubrey Graham and the other a Melanie Trotter."

"Jelanie can you take lambchop out to mommy please."

"Yeah sure, lets go Makiah.' they both got up and exited the room.

"What's going on with Melanie?"

"It seems she has escaped the Sunny Rise Psych facility she was in." Nickis stomach dropped. Safaree reached over and grabbed her hand.

"How did this happen?" she asked.

"It seems it was the doing of a careless worker." Mr. Kepler stated.

"I told you you should have had the bitch put in jail." Nicki snatched her hand away from him.

"Excuse me for thinking of someone else mental stability, she needed help Safaree." NIcki rolled her eyes.

"Well a lot of good that did."

"Where is she know?" Nicki ignored his last statement.

"We are still looking for her ma'am. There have been no sightings of her around her but we needed to let you know just in case she popped up."

"I appreciate the warning."

"We are going to have surveillance on your house round the clock, until we believe she is no longer a threat to you. Now on to Mr. Graham, we need to know his involvement in this whole matter."

Nicki got quiet which pissed Safaree off.  He knew what she was about to say which was starting to make his blood pressure rise. Nicki noticed his leg starting to shake and looked away.

"Ms. Maraj can we get your statement?" Mr. Baxter asked.

"Yeah Onika give them your statement." Safaree looked over his shoulder at her. She rolled her eyes looking back at the detectives.

"Mr. Graham had nothing to do with the situation you are speaking of." Safaree got off the bed and left the room.

"So your telling us that he at no time showed up to the location you were being held hostage at?" Mr. Kepler asked trying to clarify.

"Yes that is exactly what I am saying." Nicki turned and looked out the window.

"Well if that's your story then we have no further questions. Congratulations on your new editions."

"Thank you." The two men left the room.

Safaree went back into the nursery to calm his nerves. He just didn't understand her actions. He was furious with her at a time when they should be the happiest.

"What happened baby?" his mom asked standing beside Ethans crib. He was starting to get fussy all of a sudden.

"She won't press charges against Drake. After what he put her through, us through and she still wants to protect him."

"Safaree you know when Nicki makes big decisions she never does it hastily, so she has to have some reason behind it."

"What explanation mom? He had her kidnapped and she finds it okay. He put her children in danger and in the presence of a psychopath and she finds it okay." his mother remained quiet letting him vent out his frustrations. Him and Nicki had talked about what she was going to do months back and she was unsure then but he never thought she would fix her lips to actually keep him out of jail. He deserved to do time for what he did, he needed to take responsibility.

"Is that really what you think Safaree? That I think it was okay?" Nicki walked into the nursery where they were standing. She picked up the crying Ethan placing him on her shoulder, all his crying ceased.

"That's what it seems like to me Onika." he wouldn't even look at her.

"I'm going to leave you two alone and go find Carol. Remember this is a hospital, don't get to acting crazy and getting loud in here." she walked out.

"Listen I'm not asking for you to agree with my decision but I am asking you not to crucify me for it." She put Ethan back down. "This is supposed to be a happy time in our lives, please don't let this ruin it." She intertwined her fingers with his.

"I'm not crucifying you Nicki but I don't agree with what you just did in that room and I won't hide the way I feel." he pulled his hand away from her and walked over and stood by Darias crib. He ran his hand over her cheek and noticed it was unusually warm. "She's hot." he walked to go get a nurse and came back into the nursery. Daria began crying when the nurse tried taking her temperature. A nurse by the name of Nancy entered, noticing Nicki holding her abdomen.

"Nicki didn't we tell you to stay in the bed as much as possible?" Safaree looked back at them.

"Why can't she be up?" he looked back at them confused, then back at Daria. Nancy looked at Nickis gown and seen a red stain.

"This reason right here. She keeps bleeding. Come on we have to get you cleaned up and back in the bed until thd doctor can look at you."

"I'm not going anywhere until I know my baby is okay." Ethan began crying.

"Nicki just go, you being here is not making anything better." he rushed over to pick up Ethan to try and sooth him. Daria was still screaming at the top of her lungs.

"I'm not--"

"NICKI JUST GO!" he yelled. She gave him the dirtiest look but she eventually left. He sat in the rocking chair with Ethan."Hey little man you gotta stop crying. You gotta be tough for your sisters." he held Ethan in the span from his hands to his elbows. Ethan wasn't trying to hear any of that, he continued to cry. Safaree sat there rocking him but it seemed not to have much of an effect on him. Nancy rushed back into the Nursery and grabbed one of the male nurses and in a hushed tone said something in his ear. They both rushed out the room. He heard voices in the hall way and wen to see what it was. That's when he saw Nicki passed out on the floor with a puddle of blood between her legs.

"What is wrong with her? What happened?" he said in a panicked voice. Ethan was crying even louder.

"She is losing to much blood we need to get her to the O.R." they brought a gurney around and lifted her onto it."

"Ethan You gotta stop crying for daddy, please." he pulled him closer to him. He walked back into the nursery because he was being pulled in his heart to go follow Nicki but he realized she was no longer his main focus anymore. He had three children now and they needed him. He could comfort them but he was no help to Nicki at this point. He sat back in the chair and prayed that both her and the babies would be able to leave the hospital soon and be healthy. "Ethan what's the matter little man? You must know something is wrong with mommy huh? She'll be okay, she wouldn't want you all worked up like this. Calm your little nerves." Safaree put his finger in Ethans tiny hand. "Everything is going to be all right son." Ethan squeezed his finger and slowly calmed down. Safaree wiped Ethans tears away, then wiped his own. He was really worried about Nicki, he didn't know what he was going to do if she didn't pull through this.

Mrs. Carol, the boys, and Ms. Samules walked back into the room, Mrs. Carol felt that something was wrong.

"Safaree what happened?"

"I don't know, she was fine one minute then she was laid out on the floor out there."

"Nicki? Where is she now?" Jelani asked.

"They rushed her to the O.R. I need her to pull through this, I can't do this by myself."

"Stop thinking like that." His mom said. "Nicki is a fighter, she is going to pull through this Safaree. We just have to pray for her, and keep the negativity away. This is when she needs you the most, you have to stay strong for her."

"There was just so much blood."

"BLOOD?" Makiah shouted.

"Hush." Mrs. Carol said. "Let's just pray, that's the best thing we can do for her until we know what's going on." They all gathered in a circle and Mrs. Carol began to pray.

In the O.R.

"I can't figure out what's going on down here?" Dr. Reynolds worked fast to stop the bleeding but then something happened and Nicki stopped breathing.

"Come on Nicki you can make it through this." she said under her breath. Nicki currently had a tubes connected everywhere on her. She currently had a endotracheal tube down her throat helping her to breath.

*Oh you guys know how I love my drama. Well what do you think my next move is? Huh? Can ya guess? I don't think you can! HA! Well go rack your brain over what's going to happen next.

In the Car

"Call Dr. Reynolds Safaree." Nicki was trying her best to deal with the contractions and count the minutes between them. There was heavy traffic so it was taking them twice as long to reach the hospital. Safaree grabbed his phone, pressed seven and hit talk. Dr. Reynolds picked up on the third ring.

"Why Safaree this is a nice surprise, how are you doing today?"

"Um I'm fine--" He was cut off by Nicki screaming from another contraction. He looked at her helpless, Safaree didn't know what to do to help her.

"Safaree what's wrong with Nicki?"

"Her water broke like 30 minutes ago, I'm on the highway and there is heavy traffic because of an accident. She's screaming every 15 it seems like, and I don't know how to comfort her I didn't make it that far in the book that I just bought." To say he was scared shitless would be an understatement.

"Okay listen to me forget everything you have read son, this is the real deal things are not going to go as planned. You need to get on the shoulder and ride down until you get pulled over. Tell the officer what's happening and he will give you a police escort to the hospital. I will be there within the hour."

"Yes ma'am." he hung up the phone. "Okay baby I'm going to get you there as soon as possible." He grabbed her hand and she squeezed it.

Safaree pulled onto the shoulder and speed down it. Dr. Reynolds was right, five minutes later a trooper pulled behind Safaree and pulled him over. Safaree rolled down the window and waited.

"Sir do know that not only you were doing 80 but you were doing it on the shoulder? I should take you to jail right now." the officer said.

"Officer look my girlfriend is in labor and I need to get her to the hospital." The officer ducked down and looked over at the passenger seat to see a very pregnant and very angry Nicki staring back. He quickly broke eye contact.

"I'll get you there, stay close behind me." he rushed back to his squad car. He flipped on his sirens and pulled off in front of Safaree, with him hot on his trail. 30 minutes later they pulled up in front of the hospital. The officer called it in so when they got there there was a nurse waiting with a wheelchair for Nicki. Safaree ran around to help Nicki out of the car and into the wheelchair.

"Ill be right behind you babe."

"Safaree don't leave me." She reached out for him.

"I have to park the car, I'll be right behind you." He kissed her forehead and turned leaving her in the care of the nurse.

Once he did park the car he called his mom and Nickis mom to tell them what was happening. It was their job to let everyone else to know what was happening. As he was walking up to the hospital doors a black Porsche whipped into the unload zone and Dr. Reynolds hopped out the passenger seat. He caught a glimpse of the side of the drivers face and noticed it was Dr. Crawford.

"Hey doc."

"Where is she?"

"They took her back 10 minutes ago."

"Alright let's get your babies here." they rushed in and made their way back. Dr. Reynolds went to go change and Safaree went to check on Nicki. When he got in the room he learned that she refused the epidural. So she was just sitting there looking evil out of pain. Dr. Reynolds walked in five minutes later.

"Well I don't hear her cussing. If she's not cursing then she's not ready." Dr. Reynolds put on her gloves. "Okay I'm going to check your dilation darlin', you're going to feel a bit of pressure." She stuck two fingers into Nickis vagina, when she was done she was able to get four fingers meaning she had only gotten to 4cm. "Okay you are not to  10cm yet which is fine. You will just have to wait until you are. Beside the contractions are you doing okay? No other pains?"

"No ma'am." Nicki was holding Safarees hand.

"Alright well I'll be back in a bit to check on you."

"Okay." Dr. Reynolds left the room. Safaree went to the bag and pulled out the camera.

"So Ms. Maraj how are you feeling?"

"Pregnant." She chuckled.

"Are you nervous?"

"A little." She was laying in the bed with her eyes closed.

"What are you nervous about?"

"The delivery, i want it to go smoothly. Us as parents." it was a slight pause. "Do you think we are going to be good at this?"

"Yeah I think we got this. It's like taking care of puppies." Nickis eyes shot open.

"Safaree the one puppy you did have died. Oh God who did I choose to have children with?" She put her hand on her head. He laughed.

"Calm down I go this. I'm gonna be like freaking super dad." She reached out for his hand.

"Promise?"

"Yeah I promise." he leaned over and kissed her on the lips.

14 hours Later (3am Jan. 2nd)
There was a great deal of commotion coming from the room. Doctors and nurses were running around trying to prepare the delivery zone. Nicki was in a great deal of pain and she made sure she let everyone know.

"GET THEM OUT OF ME NOW!" She screamed holding her stomach.

"Baby you have got to calm down." Safaree said catching this all on film.

"GET OUT OF MY FACE SAFAREE! I SWEAR I WILL NEVER HAVE ANOTHER CHILD BY YOU!" she pushed the camera away while he just laughed.

"Okay Nicki it's time to push." Dr Reynolds said lifting the sheet from draping over Nickis bottom region. "Safaree hold her hand and don't let go."

"Didn't plan on it Doc." he gripped her hand.

"Okay Nicki I want you to push when I say push, If I don't say it you don't do it. Do you understand?"

"Yes ma'am." She was crying.

"It will be over in a few babe." He kissed her forehead. Her hair was all over her head and she was sweating.

"Okay Nicki dawlin' push." Nicki bore down and pushed as hard as she could then let up catching her breath.

"That was good give me another big one." She gripped Safarees hand and pushed once more.

"Ahhhhhhhh." she screamed out.

"Your doing good baby."

"Another and we will have this one out." Nicki pushed as hard as she could, then she heard her baby crying.

"One of the girls." Dr. Reynolds handed her off to one of the nurses to get cleaned up. "Okay two more to go."

"I can't do it."

"Yes you can Nicki, I'm right here with you."

"I can't Safaree." She cried.

"I'm right here. Look at me." She turned her head and looked him in the eyes. "I'm right here, we are almost there."

"Okay." she said.

"Alright give me a big push baby girl." Nicki pushed as hard as she could. "I see a head full of hair, give me another one." She pushed gritting her teeth.

"GET IT OUT!" She yelled.

"Calm down Nicki, you are almost there." Safaree said.

"One more honey." She pushed again she heard her baby crying. "We have our other baby girl." She handed her over to April.

"Baby you're doing so well, one more to go and we have our three blessings. Are you ready?"

"No it hurts so bad, I can't do that again."

"You got this babe, you have come so far."

"I don't want to hear that Safaree, you're not the one in PAIN!" she shouted.

"If I could do this for you I would but I can't so bare through it and get the last baby here."

"Hold on don't push." Dr. Reynolds said. Both looked at her with concern.

"Why what's wrong?" Safaree asked.

"It hasn't dropped down from its position, this might be one of the rare moments in pregnancy."

"What does that mean?" Nicki asked.

"I think it might of fell asleep."

"It can do that while in active labor?" Safaree questioned.

"Well wake it up." Nicki said through her gritted teeth. Dr. Reynolds took off her gloves and placed her hands on both sides of Nickis stomach and shook it really quickly. Nicki felt a weird movement in her stomach then felt something pressing against her bladder. "I think it's down." the doctor put on more gloves and went back down.

"Okay push." Nicki gripped Safarees hands and pushed. "Again." She gave it all she could then heard her baby crying. "Half way out, I just need a small push." She gave her what she asked for and the final triplet had made it into the world.

"What is it?" Safaree asked anxiously.

"Say hello to your baby boy." Safarees jaw dropped. he went down and looked and sure enough he had a son.

"Nicki we have a baby boy."

"I heard." She said crying happy tears that she had brought all three in with limited complications. The baby boy was handed over to get cleaned up. Safaree went back up to Nicki who looked drained.

"You did so good today. Thank you." He kissed her on the lips.

"For what babe?"

"For giving me our kids."

"Go look at them, tell me what they look like."

"Okay."

Safaree Looked around the nurse with his video camera. He marveled at the little lives before him.

"Do you want to cut the umbilical cords Safaree?" April asked.

"Sure." He took the the scissors from her hand and cut one of the girls first, then he moved to the next one, April handed him new pair of scissors and he cut the second girl. He moved to the little boy, he was fascinated because he, unlike the girls, had stopped crying and was calm. He grabbed the new scissors and cut his.

"Are they funny looking Safaree?" Nicki asked.

"No they are beautiful, like you." Nicki smiled at his comment as Dr. Reynolds finished up on her below, she had just got the afterbirth out and was now stitching her up. She would repeatedly keep checking her fundus (the top of her Uterus) to make sure it stays firm and also check for bleeding. Safaree couldn't take his eyes off the babies.

"Faree go tell everyone their here." April had gotten the girls dressed and settled.

"Okay, give me a minute." He filmed them a little longer, then walked out into the waiting room for the expecting family. "Their here." The room erupted with cheers and applause.

"What is the third baby Safaree?" Mrs. Carol asked. The room fell quiet again.

"I have a little coon to raise." The room went crazy again. His boys were dapping him up and the grandmothers were crying.

"Carol you go on back and check on Nicki." Ms. Samuels said.

"Are you sure?"

"Yes go check on your baby." they hugged each other then she walked out the room.

"My baby has his own babies now." she started to tear up.

"Mom please don't start the water works. They are so beautiful mom, I can't wait for you to see them. My little man is handsome like his daddy."

"Let's just hope he doesn't have your head."

"He just might because Nicki screamed the loudest pushing him through." The room erupted in laughter. "Well I'll be back, I have to go check on the fam." he kissed his mothers cheek then left out the room. He walked back and seen Mrs. Carol getting her gown put on. He waited then walked in with her. Nicki looked up and smiled at the sight of her mom, then her mom burst into tears which made her tear up.

"Mom I'm a mommy now." she choked out.

"I see Nicki." She walked up and kissed her on the cheek

"Okay daddy, which one do you want first?" April asked.

"Safaree can I hold my grandson?"

"Sure mama Carol." He walked over and picked up the sleeping baby and handed him over. April handed one of the girls to Nicki and the other nurse gave the other girl to Safaree. The two surrounded Nicki so Nicki so she could see them all.

Safaree held her little body close to his."Hi baby girl." She nestled into his chest. "You're so beautiful." He whispered. Nicki took in the scene before her. She had never seen him this way not even with her. April picked up the camera and got it on film. Nicki was in awe that she was holding her baby girl.

"He is a handsome little one." Her mom said playing with his fingers.

"I can't believe he gave me another boy." Nicki said not meaning to say it out loud. Safaree and Mrs. Carol locked eyes but didn't address it.

"Nicki I hate to interrupt but I need names for them so we can get them into the system and everything."

"Oh your fine. Um Safaree which girl gets which name?"

"Just pick babe." He never took his eyes off his baby girl.

"I want to call this one Zaria Chanel Samuels."

"Okay." April put a pink band around Zarias ankle. "And that little one over there?"

"This one here is Daria Rea Samules." Safaree said. April put a purple band around her leg.

"And the little man?"

"Ethan Lloyd Samuel." Mrs. Maraj Said.

"Alright, well I leave you now. Congratulations Nicki."

"Thank you April, for everything." April left out the room. It was quiet as the three marveled at the babies. Mama Carol looked up and studied both Safaree and Nicki.

"Look at you too. It seems like only yesterday you two were seating in my front room going on about your lives after you graduated, now look at you, you're parents." she smiled. Nicki and Safaree looked at each other. Just then a couple of nurses came into the room.

"Okay It's time for the mother to get her rest, so we are going to take the babies into the nursery with the others. Once it's time to feed them we will bring them back one at a time."

"Oh okay. By babies." Nicki gave each one a kiss before they were whisked away."

"The rest of your family can come look at the babies through the window if they would like." one of the nurses said.

"Okay, well I'll go tell them and let you to have some privacy. Congratulations baby girl." Mrs. Carol kissed Nicki on the cheek.

"See you later mom." she watched her mom leave the room. "Come lay with me babe." Nicki scooted over and made room for him, he eased in beside her. Nicki was exhausted from her 15 hours of labor.

"I'm so proud of you. It was amazing watching you bring new life into the world. It was one of your most beautiful moments." He wrapped his arm around  her and she nestled into his arms. "They are amazing already babe."

"I know Faree." she quietly stated, she was drifting off.

"Today was crazy."

"Mmhmm."

"Are you gonna give me more babies?"

"Mmhmm." she was slipping deeper into her sleep.

"Get your sleep babe." he kissed her forehead and laid with her.

"Adian? Aidan?"


"Mommy? Mommy where are you?"


"Here, I'm here Adian."


Nicki walked into the all to familiar room but this time Adian was standing next to a man. She couldn't make out the mans face.


"Aidan who is that?"


"Don't worry mommy, I'm going with him now."


"But Aidan--"


"Let me go mommy, everything is going to be fine."


A light appeared above Adian and the man, the man pulled Adian toward him.


"WAIT!"


"Let go mommy, everything will be fine now. Tell my sisters and brothers I love them."


"Aidan." she cried out for him.


She watched him and the man slowly disappear into the air and the light fade.


Safaree watched and listened as she mumbled Adians name.

"I love you forever baby." she said then snuggled closer to Safaree.

Two Hours Later
Both Safaree and Nicki had rested and were now siting in the room with Zaria and Daria. All babies had been cleaned and bathed. Zaria cam in at 6lb 8oz 18in long. Daria came in at 6lb 11oz 15in long. And Ethan came in at 7lb 10oz 21in long. Nicki was feeding Daria while Safaree tried to wake up Zaria.

"Leave her alone Safaree."

"I just want to see what her eyes look like. Sorry guy."

"Let my baby rest."

"Fine." He sat back further on the couch and turned on the television.

'There are reports that rapper Nicki Minaj has just given birth to her triplets. This birth was more anticipated then Beyonce and Jay-z birth." the reporter said into the camera.

"How did they find out?"

"People saw you come in so they probably called everyone they knew, you know word travels fast." he said poking Zaria on the low trying to wake her without Nicki seeing.

"Turn it please." he turned until he found Law & Order, it was slowly becoming Nickis obsession. "Okay this one fell asleep." She covered herself back up and wiped Darias mouth. "Can you go tell April to bring me Ethan?" As Safaree was getting up April walked through the door with a screaming Ethan.

"He is hungry and is not shy about letting us know." Safaree put Zaria in her crib and took Daria from Nicki. Once Ethan was in his mothers arms he quieted down and latched on to her breast.

"You were hungry man?" she spoke to Ethan. He had his eyes slightly open and she could tell that he had a lightish brown eye color. "Oh I see I'm going to have to beat these girls off you." she smiled and he gave a small one back.

"Why you say that?" Safaree asked.

"His eyes are pretty." Safarees jaw dropped.

"Hey you." he poked Daria. "Why can't you open your eyes like your brother over there? What tip guy?"

"Hey don't poke her." Just then Mama Maraj and Mama Samules walked in with Candi, Nina, and Lauren. "Hi you guys." Nicki said.

"Hows the new mommy?" Nina asked.

"Tired but I'm having fun bonding with the kids."

"Bonding? All they do is sleep." Safaree said.

"Shut up SB." Candi said.

"Look at this one over here." Nina was staring at Zaria. She had her hand by her head and it look like she was striking a pose in her sleep. "Oh she is going to be a D.I.V.A. like her mama." She snapped a picture.

"I'm nobodies D.I.V.A." Nicki said. Ethan had stopped eating but was looking up at Nicki.

"Well we just wanted to come and tell you we were leaving but would be back in a couple of hours." Ms. Samules said picking up Daria out of Safarees arms.

"Sure, yeah go. You have been here since yesterday go get some rest. We will be fine for a couple of hours with out you."

"I'll bring your brother back, he was throwing a fit because he hasn't seen you yet but he fell asleep so daddy took him home."

"Aww lambchop."

"So see you in a few."

"Alright. Bye you guys." Safarees mother put Daria in the crib next to her sister then left.

"Safaree--" she stopped when she noticed he was nodding off. She new he needed to get some rest. "Safaree!" She shouted.

"Huh? What, I'm up. What's wrong? The babies okay?"

"Yes they are fine. Why don't you go catch up with them and get Nina to drive the car back so you can get some sleep."

"I'm good Nicki, I don't want to leave you."

"I will be fine, go get some sleep. Do it for me and my peace of mind."

"Okay, but I'll be back in a hour." he stood up stretching.

"That's fine." she knew once his head hit that pillow he would be out for hours. He kissed her and the babies, grabbed his coat and left.

"Welp I guess that just leaves me and you little man. You seem to be the only one that can hang, your sisters eat and go right to sleep like their daddy." she put her finger in his hand and he squeezed it. "You're so beautiful Ethan and I love you and your sisters so much. I'm gonna try my best to be the greatest mommy to you three. I know I'll make mistakes along the way but I'm learning. I'm going to give you a good life. Just remember that mommy will always love you no matter what, okay?" he just laid there in her arms staring back then grinned. "You're so goofy." she laughed. She sat there talking to him until he fell asleep.

*They are finally here you guys. Well what do you think about the names? Like I said I don't know much about the whole birthing process so I might have skipped some stuff but you know what GET OVER IT! lmaoooo I really want comments on this one, tell me how you think I did. I'll put pictures of them next chapter. Remember Comment on here on in my DMs NEVER on the TL for you new readers.*

Little Things...

*Not as long but you will deal. Enjoy!*

Nicki, Safaree, Nina, and Quentin made there way back to Nickis home around five that morning. They kept her a couple more hours just to make sure that gas was really the root of her pain. Quentin drove Safarees car back, while Nina drove Safaree and Nicki back in the phantom. Safaree put Nicki to bed, making sure she was comfortable then went to go find Quentin.

Safaree knocked on the door to where Nina and Quentin were sleeping, Nina answered.

"Hey big bro, is Nicki alright?" She asked leaning against the door frame.

"Yeah she's fine, probably knocked out. Can I speak to Quentin real fast?" Nina wasn't expecting that to come from him.

"Uh yeah sure, Quentin." Quentin emerged opening the door more, still dressed in hiss clothes he had on the night before.

"Yeah." he looked at Safaree.

"Can I talk to you in the living room." He didn't wait for an answer, just walked away. Quentin followed behind him. When he entered the room Safaree was sitting in his lazy boy, Quentin sat on the couch diagonal from him.

"So what's up?"

"I wanted to say thank you for getting me to Nicki, you didn't have to and you did."

"It was nothing Safaree." There was an awkward silence. Safaree really didn't know what else to say to him.

"Well I'll let you get back to Nina, I'm pretty sure she is sitting on the bed racking her brain over what we could be talking about."

"Has she always been nosy?" Quentin asked laughing.

"She's a female, it's in her genes, I'll see you in the morning."

"Night." Then men departed to there rooms.

Safaree slid in the bed with Nicki and began rubbing her belly, praying she didn't have gas through out the night. Nobody that small and beautiful should ever have such a foul smell come out of them like she did earlier.

Three weeks later

"Safaree did you pick up all the train tickets?" Nicki was finishing packing her bag. She had six bags already packed around her, she was seated in the middle of them all.

"Yes Nicki, all four. Will you stop worrying."

"Well I've never taken a train before Safaree so I just want to make sure everything goes as smoothly as possible. I don't mean to keep hounding you babe." Nicki said zipping her bag.

"Quentin said he was gonna take me too see his friend who has this Dodge Tomahawk Motorcycle sometime while we up there." Safaree said with excitement on his face.

"Oh so you and Quentin all buddy buddy now? That's ya boy, ya ace boon coon?" Safaree gave her the dead face.

"Ow!" Nicki yelled a bit.

"What happen? What's wrong?" Safaree knelled down beside her.

"Your long ass babies is what's wrong. One of them has there foot on my back!" She rubbed her back.

"Babe they can't put there foot on your back, they can't reach that far."

"Thank you mister 21 facts. Get out my face." Safaree stole a kiss. "No, go away." she wiped her lips.

"Did you just wipe my kiss away?"

"No."

"You did too you little liar." She giggled. "Give me another and then I'll massage your back for you."

"How bout you just give me the massage and no kiss?" She tilted her head to the left, scrunched up her face,  only looking at him through her right eye.

"What do I get out of that deal?"

"The pleasure of touching my sexy ass body." She said as a matter of fact. He made his face like hers was a minute ago.

"Naw I'll pass." he got up off the floor.

"Faree pwease?"

"Come on butterball." he reached out for her hand, pulling her up. Once she was on her feet he took her by her chin. Nicki knew what he was trying to do so she clamped her lips shut and shook her head. It didn't hinder Safaree on bit, he took the tip of his tongue and ran it along her bottom lip. Her lips parted like Moses parting the red sea. Him doing that always made her tingle in more spots than one. He tongued her down for a quick minute then pulled away then walking to the side of the bed cocky.

"That's it?"

"Look at them skills, got you wanting more don't I baby? Yeahhhhh." He nodded his head grinning.

"Oh shut up that's why I don't like you, you ugly boy!" She laid in the middle of the bed on her side.

"Yeah that's why you're about to have my kids because you don't like me, oh okay." he said sarcastically. He went and grabbed her aroma therapy massage oil out of the cabinet over the bathroom sink and came back into the bedroom. "Let me help you take off your shirt." Nicki sat up and Safaree pulled the shirt up and over her head staring at her bare back, she eased her way back down onto the bed.

Safaree rubbed his hands together making his hands a little warmer, then squeezed a good size amount onto his hands, putting the bottle on the nightstand.

"Where does it hurt babe?"

"Towards the middle, and babe be careful it's kinda tender."

"Nicki are you sure keeping them was the best, she said this would start happening." He rubbed in circles on her back. She winced with pain but he couldn't see.

"I'll be fine Safaree, it's not that serious." He pushed her back a little harder and she yelped out in pain.

"What are you doing?"

"Not that serious huh? I'm calling Dr. Reynolds and making an appointment for Thursday."

"Fine just don't do that again." He continued to massage and kneed her back the best he could. He figured that if the results of the x-ray came back the way he thought the were, Nicki would be on bed rest until her water broke.

"Nicki does your back feel better?" She didn't answer. "Babe. Nicki." Safaree leaned over to see her sound asleep. He went and got a towel to wipe the excess oil off her back. Pulling back the bedspread on her side he lifted Nicki and put her under the covers. Afterwards he took all their bags down to the foyer, so when the drivers got there tomorrow they could save some time. Safaree made his way into the kitchen and ate the rest of his chicken salad sandwich then headed back upstairs to get some shut eye.

The Next Day


@NICKIMINAJ
Not that TM found me at the train station. Y'all are lowkey some stalkers.

Nicki was 30 minutes into her train ride to New York and was growing restless by the second. She was ready to see her family again. She knew her mom was cooking up a big dinner for her when she arrived and couldn't wait to get to it.

@NICKIMINAJ
3 days on this train! I should have kidnapped some of y'all so you could entertain me. *Sigh* I won't get home until Christmas morning.

@NICKIMINAJ
OOP! Y'all remember EVERYTHING! lol RT @MalaMinj Do we look like fucking entertainers?

Nicki pulled out her Dora fruit snacks that one of the Barbs gave to her in a bag full of other things. She pulled out a Boots character from the small bag, just when she was going to put it in her mouth Nina took it out her hand and into her mouth.

"Ugh, go to your own cabin." Nicki rolled her eyes.

"No I want to be with you sis."

"Hand me that bag over there." Nina picked up the tote that read "Cute as Hell" with a girl on it and gave it to Nicki. Nicki looked through it and found crayons and a Tinkerbell activity book. Her eyes lite up, she loved these.

@NICKIMINAJ
Thanks to the barb that gave me the tote with the snacks and Activity book in it. I'll color you a picture. =)

Nicki cracked open her fresh pack of 64 Crayola crayons and found a picture to her liking. Nina sat next to her staring at her coloring. Nicki felt like she was being watched, she figured Nina wanted to color too but if she didn't ask she wouldn't get the chance. Like she was reading Nickis mind Nina spoke up.


"Can I color one please Nika?"

"I figured that's why you were boring a whole in my face." Nicki flipped through the book and found a picture for her and tore it out. She placed the Crayons in between them on the table. Safaree entered the cabin and sat on the opposite side of the table.

"Let me get a page babe." he said. She stared at him then rolled her eyes.

"Ugh can't never have nothing to myself." She flipped through the book again trying to locate a picture she didn't mind giving up.

"Why do I get all the attitude?" Safaree asked.

"I don't have an attitude Safaree." she she said snidely handing over the picture. He just shook his head and picked out the green crayon. "Where is Quentin?"

"He said he was tired so I came back over here so he could go to sleep. Can I see your pink Nic?" she handed it over, picking up the yellow.

"Yeah he didn't get much sleep last night because he thinks he bombed his last final then he drove all the way up to yawls place."

Nicki looked from her picture to Safarees then frowned. She began shading lighter on the inside of her picture. Her alarm on her phone went off alerting her that she needed to take her vitamins. Safaree reached over into her purse and fished around for her pill holder then grabbed her bottle of Disani and handed them to her.

"Hows your back?" Safaree asked.

"It feels better." She lied putting on a smile. Nicki didn't want them babying her the whole trip so she was sucking up the pain.

"That's good. Do you want your heating pad, it never hurts to be precautions, if the pain comes back?" Safaree asked.

"Sure I'll take it." She mentally sighed, she thought she had left it at home. Lord knows she was in need of it badly. He got up and reached in the over head compartment for his LV backpack to retrieve it for her. He plugged it up and sat her pillow behind her with the heating pad in between. She relaxed and let the heating pad work its magic.

"Safaree why do you color so girly?" Nina asked.

"What? How do I color girly?" he darkened the profile of the outfit Tinkerbell was wearing with the green crayon.

"You are all inside the lines. Making it perfect and ish, men don't pay attention to detail like that." he looked at the picture to see what she was talking about. He had to admit it was perfect but he didn't think it classified it as girly.

"It's not my fault I paid attention in art class growing up. Sorry guy." He colored the stars and was finished with his. Nicki had finished hers and was now working on a word search that was in the book. Safaree lined all three pictures side by side and took a picture then tweeting.

@SCAFFBEEZY
Who's coloring do you like better? Tweet 1 for Iridessa, 2 for Tinkerbell, and 3 for Fawn. I will tell who's is which after.

Nickis phone vibrated receiving his tweet, she laughed.

"I did 1 right?"

"Yeah." he spoke. He watched on his phone as the votes varied. He was laughing at the comments made on them.

@SCAFFBEEZY
So the verdict is in you guys liked.....2 the most, that's mine. Hahahaha @NICKIMINAJ is going to be salty, y'all dissed hers so bad. She was 1, my sis 3.

@NICKIMINAJ
:''''''''''( Last time I share my artistry with y'all!!! lmao

"I'm going to go check on Quentin I'll check on you later Sis." Nina got up.

"Okay."

"What about me?" Safaree said pretending to be offended.

"Yeah you too." She waved at him over her shoulder.

"Damn the kid gets no love." He dropped his head. Nicki smiled.

"Aw come here give me kisses." She puckered her lips. He leaned over and pecked her lips. "I wonder what moms doing right now?"

"You should call her."

"She said she would be busy all day, so I don't want to bother her."

"Well you'll be with her soon enough. Just go lay on the bed and rest."

"I want to sit here and look out the window, could go get me some orange juice please?"

"Sure." He got up and went to the food cart a ways down the train.

Nicki stared out the window enjoying the industrial view. Living in the city all her life she never got the chance to witness peace in her surroundings. Everybody is always rushing and going so fast in the city. The countryside reflected the personality of Onika, not to complicated, peaceful, and beautiful. She just sat back thinking of all she went through to get to this point in her life.

@NICKIMINAJ
Don't be pushed by your problems; Be led by your dreams Barbs. =)

Safaree entered the cabin with a big bottle of orange juice and a long straw. He untwisted the cap and stuck the straw in handing it to her.

"How much calcium do you think I need?"

"have you seen how much orange juice you drink lately? I'm not about to keep running back and forth." She sipped from her straw and peered over at him.

"Thank you." She said after she swallowed.

"Welcome." there was a couple minutes of silence. "Can I ask you something without you getting all mad?" he looked over at her sipping her juice. She shook her head yes. "Do you have that dream anymore, you know about Aiden? You haven't really talked about your sessions with Dr. Livingston, you had these pass couple weeks."

Nicki had finally agreed to go get help after Safaree witnessed her last episode of waking up in a cold sweat screaming and crying. He hit the roof and said he had had enough. She had to admit that it was really helping her.

She placed her hand on her stomach and shifted in her seat.

"I've had it twice since the sessions have started. They never go all the way to the point where I see him anymore but yes I still have it."

"Okay. And your doctor, you like him because if you don't we can find you another."

"No, I like him. He doesn't push me on the subject and I like that. He always eventually gets the answer out of me somehow during the hour we have together. he told me that he would meet with me anytime because he knows i have an hectic schedule. So I'm pretty comfortable with having him as my doctor." she rubbed her belly feeling one of the babies move around.

"Alright I was just making sure." he looked out the window.

"Come lay with me on the bed." she raised from her seat steadying herself because of the movement of the train. Safaree laid down first then she slid in next to him. Within a matter of minutes she was sleep.

Christmas Day

"Mommy!" Nicki shouted when she entered the kitchen of her mothers home.

"Onika, hi baby." Mrs. Carol smiled and embraced her daughter. "Whoa you've gotten bigger since I seen you last." She rubbed her belly.

"Yeah, I'm as big as a house." Nicki got a waft of the aroma coming form the oven. "Is that baked macaroni?"

"Yes dinner is almost ready. Your brother should be here any minute, so should Candi, Lauren and Safaree your mom and sister should be here as well."

"Okay." he said.

"Now go say hi to your father and brother Nicki, you go to." She pushed Safaree out of the kitchen and into the living room.

"Hi daddy, hi lambchop."

"Hey Onika." her father said getting up to give her a hug. "My baby is getting big." he rubbed her belly. "Can't wait to see my grand babies." one of the babies kicked, both smiled.

"Seems like they can't wait to meet you either. Give me hug lambchop." he got up and gave her a big hug. "How are you?"

"I'm good, what's up SB?" he dapped him up.

"Hey. Hi mister Maraj." He shook his hand.

"Hey Safaree, where is your sister you were bringing with you?"

"Oh she went to my moms once we made it in, I went with Nicki to the house here to put out things away and freshen up. She will be coming with my mom." The door bell rang. "That might be them there." Mama Carol went to answer the door. It seemed everyone arrived at the same time.

"Well As soon as everyone gets settled dinner is served." Nicki had already made her way to the dining room and began picking at one of her mothers homemade rolls. "Onika we haven't even blessed the food yet.

"I blessed my roll on my own." She said wide eyed.

"You're a mess. Everyone come on before this child eats it all."

1 week later
Nicki and Safaree were in the entertainment room playing American idol on the Wii. Nicki was currently hunched over in laughter listening to Safaree belt out I'm Every Woman into the microphone. They had been playing for about 30 minutes and he has butchered every classic there is on the game.

"Wait I can't take this. Stop please." she wiped the tear that escaped her eye.

"What's funny?" he asked giving her his dead face which only made her laugh harder.

"You. I need some water." She put her feet in her pink ugg slip ons and headed for the door. "I'll be back in a minute."

"Hurry up, so you can fail at trying to beat my score on Crazy in Love." he laughed sitting on the couch. She proceeded downstairs and into the kitchen of her double level condo. She went to the fridge and grabbed her bottle of Evian then grabbed a glass to pout it in. Nicki turned around quickly to look in the fridge because she didn't see her cheesecake where she left it last night which meant Safaree had eaten it in the night. She felt water running down her legs. "Damn i knocked the bottle over." she thought then looked back at the counter to find the bottle sitting up right. "What the hell?" She said out loud looking down at her grey soaked sweat pants, then it clicked. She carefully went to the intercom.

"Um Safaree?" she took her finger off the button.

"Yes beautiful."

"Either at 28 I just pissed my pants or my muthafuckin water just broke." She bit her lip waiting for his response but it never came. She seen him round the corner a few seconds later.

"You lyin." He said looking at her pants.

"Look at the puddle on the floor." he came around the counter and saw the clear puddle.

"ALRIGHT DON'T PANIC. NOBODY PANIC." his voice went high and squeaky which made Nicki laughed.

"Nobody is here but me and you. Step ya voice up."

"Okay, okay, don't panic."

"Stop telling me that I'm calm, you stop panicking."

"Okay I need to get the bag and call everyone."

"When you're done I'll be in the car in labor, but take your time we'll wait." Nicki waddled to the coat closet to grab her big coat. Safaree ran upstairs to get all the things he thought they needed. he grabbed her bag, the babies bag, car seats and a lot more. "Safaree grab me another pair of sweats and underwear I can't go outside in wet pants."

"Okay here I come." he went back into Nickis room to grab the pants and undies out of her drawer. He somehow managed to carry three car seats, two bags, and a pair of underwear and pants down the stairs.

"Only if I had the camera for this Kodak moment." Nicki said pulling her leg out of the pants she had on. "Safaree the babies are not coming home anytime soon you don't need the car seats, so drop them and hand me my pants." he put them down and handed her the pants. Safaree grabbed his coat out the closet, then heard a shriek come from Nicki.

"Are you okay?" he ran to her side.

"Ahhhhh...No. I think I just had a contraction. Damn that hurt, get me to the hospital now." she zipped her coat. He helped her out the house and into the car. He put everything in the back of the Range Rover then they were off with Nicki screaming the whole way.

*O..MY..FUCKING GAWDDDDDDDDDDD. *RUNS IN PLACE WITH A BIG SMILE ON MY FACE.* they are almost here....lol...Sooooo How ya feeling right about now?? They cute.

Silly Moments...

*Enjoy Barbs! And make sure you read the part after the chapter ends!*

They lay in silence just staring at each other, neither wanting to break eye contact. Legs and fingers intertwined tightly. Nicki noticed that their breathing had fallen into sync with one another. Both knowing Safaree needed to get ready to go.

"Why do you always do this?" Safaree said not losing eyes contact.

"Do what?"

"Lock me into staring at you?"

"No I don't."

"Yes you do. You did it yesterday when we were in my study." Nicki thought back.

"That's because you didn't have a shirt on and I was thinking things."

"Don't start that again."

"I'm not, you have made it very clear since the last time we "did it." she made air quotations. "that you felt very weird. So i'm not forcing you to do anything you don't want to do, but that doesn't mean I can't think things. Especially when you walk around half naked."

"Yeah okay. That is a reason for yesterday but what about the day before that, I had a shirt on." Nicki blushed and put her face in his chest.

"I like to know you are thinking about me, there I confessed." Safaree smiled.

"What?" he brought her face to where he could see it. She had no make-up on, just like her liked her, Natural.

"I like to know when I'm on your mind."

"Nicki you are on my mind constantly through out the day."

"But I like knowing thee exact moment."

"Well what do you think about when you are staring at me?" He brushed a piece of her hair back into place.

"I don't know, stuff." Nicki coyly stated.

"What kind of stuff?" he tickled her under her arm, causing her to break out in a fit of giggles.

"Okay, I'll tell you. I've been thinking about you being a daddy. I have these images in my head of you playing with our kids. Like the other day I had this scene play out where you and the girls, they are about three, you guys are making me dinner. I know how you are in the kitchen when you cook, everything has to be cleaned as you go. But the girls had the kitchen a complete mess and you still had the biggest smile. They were feeding you chocolate chips from the bag. The way they said daddy was so adorable. Safaree they had your eyes, nose and ears. Their hair was french braided in two pigtails, the braids went past their shoulders a ways. They were such gorgeous girls Safaree. I wish I knew what the last one was, so I can envision them all."

"Wow that was a vivid day dream. I can't wait for them to get here." he kissed her hand which was still in his.

"Yeah." Nicki said softly. She peeked over him to look at the clock, it read 10:15pm. "Babe you have to get dressed. He had showered an hour earlier before their little staring contest.

"Babe I don't want to go, I never did. Tell me about some more of your day dreams."

"No Safaree you have been under me for the last couple of months, it's time for you to go out and have some fun of your own with your friends."

"You know how I feel about leaving you alone ever since the whole Melanie situation, I don't think this is a good idea." he caressed her shoulder.

"I will be fine. Lauren and Candi are coming over for a girls night with me, so I won't be alone. Nina and Quentin will be back from their little dinner date any moment. Me and the babies will be here safe and sound when you get back. Just don't get crazy tonight, I don't want to have to beat a bitch ass pregnant Safaree."

"Butterball you would get winded after the first punch." He rubbed her belly.

"Well that's what my girls are for." They heard the alarm system announce that the front door had been opened. Safaree turned the TV to the channel where he could see all the security camera footage. He saw Nina and Quentin entering the house, Nina all over him like an animal in heat.

"This nigga needs to go home. I can't believe you let him stay here and in the same room with her." Nicki looked away not wanting to start this argument all over again.

When Nicki broke the news that Quentin was staying a couple of extra days with Nina, Safaree hit the roof. Yelling all kind of obscenities. He had made it through the whole Thanksgiving dinner okay, not saying anything too rude to him but when that news came he wasn't trying to hear it. It took Nicki, Nina, and Candi an hour to get him to calm down and agree.

"Well she is a grown woman Safaree, you think she is still your innocent Nina? She is a 19 year old, and attractive. You are going to have to learn how to let go and stop being so over protective."

"No I don't, Jelani still hasn't let go of you."

"He needs a reality check just like you do. Why don't you just get to know Quentin, take him out with you and the Vaks."

"Hell naw, I thought you said you wanted me to have a good time." Nicki sighed.

"Well it's either you take him with you or leave him here with a very willing Nina." They looked back at the cameras to see the couple leaned against the front door still tongue tied.

"Fine he can go. But I'm watching his ass, If he as so  much as looks at another girl I will fuck up his world."

"I'm sure you will." Nicki patted his chest.

"I will." He said trying to get his point across.

"I know, your my big strong man, that don't take no shit."

"Damn right." Nicki rolled her eyes.

"Well you get dressed and I'll inform Nina that her plans are changing." Safaree got up and helped Nicki off the bed, then walked into his room to get dressed. Nicki walked to the top of the stairs and cleared her throat. Both Nina and Quentin stopped movement, they looked up and saw Nicki. Nina sighed hard thanking God it wasn't Safaree. "Must have been a great dinner."

"Yeah." Nina blushed.

"Can I talk to you Nina?"

"Yeah sure." she turned to Quentin. "I'll meet you in the bedroom babe." she said then whispered. "Don't take your clothes off I want to do that." She smiled and kissed him on the lips, then made her way up the stairs to Nicki.

"Goodnight Nicki." Quentin said.

"Night Quentin." The two made there way to the door leading into Safarees room. They saw him walk back into his closet. "So Safaree has agreed to take Quentin out with him and his friends."

"Really." Just then Safaree walked out of his closet spotting the two women. Nicki gave a slight wave with her fingers. He smiled then looked at Nina and scowled going back into his closet to pick a different shirt. She rolled her eyes.

"Are you sure that's such a good idea. He is not the biggest fan of me and Quentins relationship. I don't want Q to get out there and Safaree act a fool towards him. And besides I kind of had other plans for him tonight."

"Ew don't make me vomit, besides Safaree needs to see him as just another guy and not the guy that's all up under his sister. Let them go out and be men." Nina looked towards the closet, then back to Nicki.

"This better not go bad or I'm holding you responsible." Nicki smiled. Nina walked into Safarees room and entered his closet. "You better not make him feel not wanted Safaree." She pointed her finger in his face.

"Girl I'm a grown man you better get out my face." Nina punched him in the chest.

"You heard what I said Safaree. I like him a lot, so don't fuck this up."

"Whatever, and you betta stop hitting me before I toss yo little ass." She punched him in his arm.

"Tell me you'll be nice Safaree."

"I ain't sayin--" She drew back her fist. "Alright damn, I'll be nice." she put her hand down.

"Thank you." She kissed his cheek and turned to leave. Nicki was sitting on the bed half reading one of Safarees magazines and half listening to their conversation. "You so nosy." Nina said walking past Nicki and out the door.

"What I do?" Nina didn't answer. Nicki walked in the closet and found Safaree putting on his shirt. She pulled him into a very sensual kiss. Safaree wrapped his arms around her hips and pulled her closer. Nicki put her hand under his shirt running her nails across his abs lightly. She pulled away.

"What was that for?" Safaree asked.

"For being the bigger person in this situation. I'm gonna let you get ready, OK?"

"No stay and talk to me while I get dressed." He grabbed his big comfy folding chair and helped her sink into it.

---

"I'm going where?" Quentin yelled sitting up nearly knocking Nina off his lap.

"Shhh! He wants you to go out and hang with him and friends." She pushed him back down on the bed still straddling him.

"Since when? I don't trust it." he shook his head making Nina laugh.

"Q you will be fine. Just be yourself and he will have no choice to like you. Right now he sees you as the guy that is probably fucking his sister. When you go out he will see you as just another one of the guys."

"Probably fucking his sister?" he raised his eyebrow and grabbed her ass.

"Stop babe, you have to leave in a few so don't start nothing you can't finish." she leaned over him taking his bottom lip into her mouth.

"Well stop trying to seduce me." He kissed her back, placing his big hands under her shirt and onto the small of her back. Nina slipped her tongue into his mouth, this was turning into something she didn't think she could control. She reached for the bottom of his shirt pulling it over his head then began their kiss again. As he went for her shirt there was a knock on the door.

"Quentin Safarees almost ready." Both Nina and Quentin groaned.

"Okay thank you Nicki." He replied. "See I told you to stop."

"I'm sorry babe." Nina giggled still on top of him.

"Got me hard as a brick. Get up so I can go." She rolled off him, watching his every move as he found a new shirt and changed his jewelry. Nina went to the restroom and when she came back Quentin was dressed and ready to go. She was ready to tear the clothes off him and hold him hostage in the bed.

"Who you trying to look good for nigga?" she said in her NY accent.

"Shit girl I can't help genetics." He gave her a GQ worthy pose.

"Mmhhm don't make me have to beat a bitch ass." She grabbed his hand and walked him to the front. Safaree was standing in the middle of the foyer with his shades on checking his watch with Nicki by his side.

"Okay well you guys have fun." Nicki grabbed Safarees hand and gave it a squeeze.

"I'm sure we'll have loads of fun."

"Be nice." Nicki said under her breath.

"I am being nice." Nina gave him a death glare. Quentin enclosed her waist with his arms.

"I'll be fine Nina."

"Okay babe." She gave him a hug and he walked towards the door.

"I love you." Safaree said to Nicki.

"I love you too. Not to much drinking tonight, okay?"

"Alright. I should be back at around five at the latest."

"Okay take your time. Tell the boys I said hello."

"Will do." He kissed her with that he was on his way with Quentin behind him.

Candi and Lauren were pulling up as the boys were pulling off, they honked at each other. The girls brought the food and everything else they bought into the house. Nina grabbed a couple of bags from Lauren but when Nicki tried to grab something from Candi she was shooed away.

"Why can't I help."

"Safaree won't be beating my ass because you pulled something trying to carry a heavy bag." Candi said continuing into the kitchen.

"Okay for the pregnant lady we have Orange chicken, red hots, a Asiango ranch chicken club from Wendy's, and a root beer float." Lauren handed her her on bag. Nicki took it.

"I'm starving."

"You really gonna eat all that Nika?" Candi elbowed Nina. "Ow!" Nina rubbed her side. Nicki looked at her while putting a fry in her mouth. "Never mind."

"Nina we didn't get you anything because Nicki said you were going to dinner but If you want I could run out and get you something real quick." Lauren offered.

"No I have food from dinner and If I want anything else, It will be an excuse to drive my sisters new phantom."

"Girl I haven't even let Safaree drive that car, so what makes you think I would let you?" Nicki said opening her honey mustard.

"Because i'm your Nina bug and you love me and never tell me no." Nina gave Nicki her puppy dog eyes.

"That's your problem now, you're spoiled."

"You say it like it's a bad thing." Nina stole one of her fries.

"Yall are crazy. So what is first on the agenda for our girls night in?" Candi asked putting a Twizzlers in her mouth.

"Ooo you have Twizzlers, give me one." Nicki said holding out her hand.

"Again Safaree is not going to kill me. He is already going to kick Laurens behind for getting you all that unhealthy food plus red hots. Nicki stuck her tongue out.

"You're no fun." she took a bite of her orange chicken.

"Well I'm going to go shower and put on my pj's." Nina said.

"A cold one I bet." Nicki said sipping her water.

"Whoa, Ms. Nina and Quentin are doing the do?" Candi asked.

"Damn near about too?"

"When?"

"Right before him and Safaree were supposed to be leaving." Nicki spilled.

"Nika shut up." Nina turned a red in the face.

"Oh these hoes ain't nobody."

"Why we got to be all that?" Lauren said snatching the bag with the rest of Nickis food in it.

"Wait! No, I'm sorry." Nicki said changing her tune real quick.

"Yeah that's what I thought. Nina go take your shower, we will discuss this when everybody is settled in." Nina hurriedly walked back to her room.

"Nicki why did you do that to that girl? You know how she is about people knowing her business." Lauren asked.

"I honestly didn't think she would care if yall knew. Sex was going to be a topic of discussion anyway, it always is. So she would have had to spill at some point."

"I guess. Am I still braiding your hair?"

"Yes. I'm going to go take my shower too. Don't eat my food Candi." Nicki pointed at her.

"Mhhm." She said already reaching for a fry.

"If yall wanna shower you know where the other ones are, yall are not guest so do what you feel."

Nicki went into her room and picked out some "girls night" appropriate pajamas. She could be in a thing and t-shirt around her girls. She picked out her leopard printed maternity onsie, then hopped in the shower and washing her hair.

Meanwhile Candi and Lauren sat in the game room fumbling around with the controllers trying to play Madden.

"You a cheatin ass bitch." Candi yelled.

"How the hell am I cheating when I don't know what I'm doing?" Lauren shot back.

"I don't know but heffa you are. I don't want play no more." She dropped the controller.

"Well I never wanted to play in the first place." Lauren turned the TV to HBO and caught the end of Zane: Sex Chronicals. "Damn I missed my show."

"Today is Saturday ain't it? They will play it again."

Nicki was getting out of the shower and almost slipped but she grabbed the sink in time. She steadied herself and stood up correctly. Nicki wiped her feet on her rug then went back into the bed room. She dried her hair then put some coconut oil in her hair, to keep it soft. Nicki went and got a pair of Safarees boxers out of his drawer, he would be pissed because it was a new pair. She put her coco butter oil all over her body then slipped into her PJ's.

"What room are you girls in?" she spoke into the intercom. Candi ran to the one in the game room and told her their location.

"I'm still getting dressed." Nina said into hers.

"All right well meet us in the game room."

"Will do."

"What y'all watching?" Nicki asked walking into the room and sitting in between the two, letting out a gust of air. She seemed to be getting more and more winded these days.

"Zane:Sex Chronicals." Lauren said with her eyes never leaving the screen.

"There's a show for that?" Nicki yelled eyes getting bigger.

"Shhhhhhh." They both said in unison.

"Sorry guy." Nicki looked at both of them and noticed that they were wearing the onsies she had bought them awhile back and started to laugh. Candi glanced at her then back to the screen.

"What's so funny?"

"Us." she continued laughing. "Look at our grown asses in these one piece footed pajamas." Laurens was pink and had little ducks on hers and Candis was pink and had paw prints on hers.

"Hey this thing is comfy and warm. I be at home passed out with the hood on and everything. One of the good presents you have given." Candi said.

"Girl all my gifts are good gifts." Nicki rolled her eyes. Nina entered the room in her PJ's, she had on a long sleeved grey shirt with a dog on it, some blue leopard colored pants, and blue furry flip flops.

"So what's on the agenda first ladies?" Nina asked.

"Facials." Lauren said turning off the TV. Let's go downstairs so I can make the mask." Everyone headed downstairs and watched Lauren.

@NICKIMINAJ
Girls night in. Phase I: Facials! And not like that NASTY! Why y'all always thinking I'm sayin something crazy! ;)

First Lauren crushed the avocado with a fork then dissolve the sweet honey into the water and add it to the yield.

"Okay whos first?"

"Me." Nina said throwing her hand in the air. Nicki rolled her eyes and shook her head. Lauren came around the island and sat the bowl down. She scooped up a lot of the mask and placed it all over Ninas face. She proceeded to do the same with Candi and Nicki, then Nicki put the rest on Laurens. Candi snapped a picture of this.

"Why Candi?" Nicki asked.

"So you can tweet it, give the Barbs something to talk about tonight."

"I guess, let's take one of all of us." Nicki set up her professional camera and put the timer on and waddled back to the group. Candi, Lauren, and Nina put their hands on Nickis belly. Ten minutes later it was time to take off the mask.

Lauren took a pic of Nickis hair all over her head then gave her two french braids to the back, while Nicki finished her orange chicken.

"There you go hun." Lauren wiped the coconut oil off her hands onto Nickis towel.

"Thanks L boogie."

@NICKIMINAJ
Phase II: Girl Talk.

Attachted to that tweet was a pic of Nicki with her hair braided.

"So any new boo's you two?" Nina asked Lauren and Candi.

"I have a little chocolate drop but we are just friends for now." Candi said.

"For right now?" Nicki said raising her eyebrow.

"Yeah, hes not my required height. I'm short already I need someone who I can literally look up to. He is like a few inches taller."

"Those aren't the inches that matter." Nicki made a gesture towards Candi, then they all busted out laughing.

"Is that all you think about you freak?"

"Yes. When You not getting any you think about it."

"But I thought he gave it up." Lauren said.

"That one night then he said he felt weird, so I told him we didn't have to do it anymore until after." Nicki rolled her eyes.

"Okay new subject because I don't need to hear about my brothers sex life." Nina blurted out.

"Fine, let's talk about yours." Lauren said. All eyes turned to Nina. She looked from each face blankly.

"I don't do those type of things."

"Lies but I won't make you talk about it. How bout we look at the old photos of us, I think all the photo albums are in my study. Come ya"ll." They followed

--
Safaree and Quentin pulled up to club Lotus with the rest of the guys in a black SUV behind them. There was paparazzi everywhere and they all began yelling Safarees name and asking where Nicki was. He posed with a couple of fans then made his way inside the establishment. VIP had their section ready and stocked for them when they arrived.

"Damn look at the booty on that one." Rex said pointing at a red bone girl dancing with her friends.

"Might have to holla at her." Vincent said.

"Nigga I seen her first."

"It don't matter because she is leaving with me." Mack Maine said.

"Dis Nigga." the other two said in unison then kept walking.

"Yo Quentin you see anybody you like?" Martin asked. Safaree looked at hi mbut he couldn't tell because SB still had on his shades.

"Nae I got what I want back at Nicki house." He poured him some Ciroc and pineapple juice, more Ciroc then anything.

Safaree semi scoffed at him and went to the banister to check out the people below. It was thick inside club Lotus. All the pretty girls had on their best and were working what the lord gave them. The dudes where out in droves looking for their lay of the night. Safaree felt a hand on his back, when he looked up it was Vincent.

"Here man relax, Nicki is okay so get her out the back of your mind." he handed him a rum and coke.

"Alright man."

"Okay now we got mad ladies over here choose one and chill."

"See now you trying to get me killed. If Nicki even catches wind that I let some girl be all in my face, she will beat my ass then find the girl and beat hers. I'm good, I value my life and relationship."

"She ain't gone mind you talking to someone." they sat on the couch. "You just talking, she told you to have a good time."

"But she didn't really mean it. That meant go out and have fun with your boys and stay clear of all hoes." he sipped his drink. "Damn where is the coke in this thing?" He took another swallow.

"A couple more of those and you'll be talking. Well you stay here and be boring, I'm going to find me a Yamp."

"Who still uses that word?" Safaree laughed. he looked around and spotted some girl trying to push up on Quentin. He wanted to see how he would handle her. She was very attractive tall, long hair and it looked real but he could never tell these days. She had a curvaceous body and skin that looked like it had been kissed by the sun. She was running her hand up and down Quentins thigh, he didn't move it until she tried to move into his inner thigh.

"Listen I told you I have a girl now go be desperate with some other dude."

"But like you said she ain't here." she smiled. "Hoes ain't shit." Safaree thought.

"Get yo trifling ass away from  me. I wouldn't touch you with a ten foot pole." He got up and walked over to where Safaree was sitting and sat down, not next to him but in his general vicinity. Safaree nodded his head in approval of what had just went down, he knew what happened wasn't a show for him. He still didn't like him.

"Hey miss can I get another rum and coke?"

"Sure, I'll be back in a sec."

Safaree watched his boys run game on the girls in the VIP section, but it didn't look like they were giving them the time of day so they told the bouncers to let some other girls into the area. Safaree just shook his head.

"Here you go sir." She handed him his drink.

"Thanks." He handed her a 50 dollar bill.

"No thank you." She walked away.

"So what you in school for?" Safaree looked over at Quentin.

"Mechanical Engineering." he kind of screamed over the music. Safaree gulped down half of his drink.

"It pay good?"

"As high as 72,000 a year. So yeah it pays good." Safaree looked back over at Rex and saw he had a girl on his lap. "How is it working for Nicki?"

"It's not really work, I wanna be there." Safaree finished off his drink and just as he was about to flag down the waitress she was right there with another. "Thank you." He sipped it.

"I think you should slow down man." Quentin said.

"I think you should mind your own business." He got up and walked away. Quentin put his drink down and ordered a soda. He saw the fellas getting out of hand and knew someone needed to be in their right mind.

Safarees phone buzzed, it was twitter. Nicki had tweeted a picture, he thought it was another one of her and the girls. To his surprise it was one of him as a little boy and he looked ruff.

@SCAFFBEEZY
Word? Team Minaj I got y'all when I get home. BabyNika will be exposed and she know which picture I'm talking about.

Nickis phone went off and she broke out laughing.

"We got to hide all these photo albums before he gets home."

@NICKIMINAJ
OOP!

"Okay let's put these up because he will not play me."

"I told you not to do it Nika." Nina said taking a hand full of red hots. Nicki snatched her box.

"Nobody asked you."

"Nicki, can we see the nursery?" Candi asked.

"No, its not finished yet." Nicki rubbed her stomach. "Can you see if there is any more Ginger ale in the fridge?" Candi went.

"Are you okay?" Lauren looked at her concerned.

"Yea I think I'm good."

"No there is none in there."

"I'll go get you some." Nina said with a big smile.

"You just want to drive my car."

"I'll go, I need to get something from the store anyway." Lauren said.

"I want to get some ice cream so i'll go with you."

"How bout we just all go?" Nicki offered.

"You sure you want to get out? We don't have the guys if you get spotted."

"I'll be fine." They went and gathered their coats and Uggs.

"Here Nina." Nicki handed her a set of keys.

"Really?"

"Hurry up before I change my mind." Nina ran toward the garage and hopped in the driver seat. Lauren and Candi sat in the back so that left the passenger seat to Nicki. "Be careful."

"I will." She opened the Garage and backed out slowly so Nicki wouldn't freak out. She let the door down and was off towards the nearest Wal-Mart. "You know it's going to be all over the blogs tomorrow that you were in Wal-Mart tonight."

"Yeah I know. They will find the footage of it too. My Barbs are going to go nuts." Nicki turned up the heat.

"How do the Barbs feel about the babies?"

"Happy and pissed at the same time. They are happy because I'm happy but they think I won't spoil them anymore because of them. I love them so much."

"I can tell. They will understand."

They pulled into the parking lot 10 minutes later and got out. They tried hiding Nicki as much as they could but just brought more attention to themselves. Lauren went and got some laundry detergent, trash bags, and Windex.

"Not that this one is in here really shopping." Nicki took a pic on her phone. She liked to keep memories like this because she won't be able to do it again anytime soon.

"Hey I'm usually a Target girl but I'm here so I might as well get my things." She stuck her tongue out at her.

"Whatever I'm going to go get my Ginger Ale."

"Wait until I'm done so you don't have to go alone."

"There is nobody in here, I'll be fine." She turned and walked down the center aisle looking for the soda.

"HB?" Nicki looked down from the signs and smiled.

"Hello."

"What are you doing out?"

"I need some Ginger ale for my tummy." She made a pouty face.

"You're going in the wrong direction." the boy said.

"Well iff you know so much smarty pants take me to it."

"I will." He held out his arm for her and she took it.

"So what are you doing out this late, you look like a lambchop?"

"I was up and my mom need something so she sent me, I just got my licence."

"What's your name?"

"Lance. And here is the aisle you are looking for." He gestured to her right.

"Thank you lance. You wanna walk around with me until my peoples are ready to go?"

"I'm actually on a time limit and i'm behind so I have to get going but I wish I could."

"I understand, here lets take a pic so your mom will know you weren't out joy riding."

"Okay." He took his iPhone out and set it up.

"There you are, I've been looking all over for you. I thought that chick got you again." Lauren laughed.

"That's not funny." Lance said with the most serious face.

"Oop. Down lambchop." she giggled. "Take a picture of us." She handed her the phone. Lance put his face on top of her belly and she placed her hand on top of his head, then made a crazy a face. Lauren snapped a couple of pictures then handed him his phone. "Thanks for the help and tweet the pictures so I can see them. What's your name on twitter if you have one?"

"@Minajeh_That."

"Okay. Well I'll see you on Twitter." he gave her a hug and was off.

"I swaer they find you anywhere you go."

"There my Barbs, what do you expect?" They walked pass the toy section and Nicki found some toy swords. "Come on let's fight." Nicki picked up a green one.

"I'm not about to fight you Nicki." Nicki hit Lauren in the arm with the sword.

"You scared?" She hit her again. "Come on."

"No." Nicki hit her in the head. "Fine you want to play let's play." Lauren picked up the purple one and hit Nicki in the leg. They started to do their own version of fencing, making noises and every thing.

"On guard." Nicki yelled in a French voice then giggled. Lauren stabbed Nicki in her side then Nicki bent over like she was dying, she was doing the absolute most. "Ahhhhh." She yelped out.

"Okay Nicki quiet down before you get us kicked out of here." She put the sword down.

"Ahhhhhhhh."

"Nicki shhhhh." Lauren looked over to see Nicki down on one knee. "Nicki?"

"Lauren it hurts."

"Are you having contractions?" She rushed to her side.

"I don't know...Ahhhhhhh." She screamed. Lauren took out her phone and called Candi.

"What up hoe?"

"There is something wrong with Nicki we need to get her to the hospital."

"Meet us outside we will bring the car around." She hung up the phone.

"Come on Nicki we are going to the hospital."

"Call Safaree."

"I will once we get into the car." Lauren put her arm around Nickis waist and helped her to the front of the store. Nina was hopping out the back to help Nicki in, when they made it outside. Spectator were staring and pointing now noticing that it was Nicki Minaj that the girls were helping into the car.

"Call Safaree please." Nicki was crying from the pain and she was scared.

"I've been calling him since Candi told me I'm not getting an answer. Let me call Quentin." She dialed him and he picked up. "Quentin You have to get Safaree and meet me at the hospital okay something is wrong with Nicki." there was a brief pause. "I don't know just get him there." She hung up.

"What did he say?"

"He will get him there as soon as possible. You just worry about breathing okay?"

"Okay."

---

"Safaree man we got to go." He grabbed his arm.

"Nigga get your hands off me." Safaree somewhat slurred his words. He had had one drink to many, he wasn't white boy wasted but he was in no condition to be driving or doing anything for that matter.

"Something is wrong with Nicki we have to go."

"If something was wrong with Nicki she would have called." He pulled his phone form his pocket and saw he had 25 missed calls , all from the girls. "Oh shit Nicki. I can't drive though and I don't want to leave my car."

"I'll drive you let's just go." Safaree let the fellas know what was going on and everyone jumped up and left out the club.

---

"We need help!" Nina screamed as she entered the doors of the hospital. She heard Nicki scream and turned to see her clinching her stomach again.

"Get her into the wheelchair." A nurse said. Then started asking questions. "How many months is she?"

"Almost eight months."

"What was she doing when she started to feel pain?"

"We were playing in a store with these foam swords then she just started to scream." Lauren rambled off really fast. "I told her I didn't want to play." She was an emotional mess.

"She is pregnant with triplets." Candi offered up.

"Okay one of you can come back."

"I'll go." Nina said. "Can you hold my purse?" Candi took it while Nina followed the nurse.

Safaree kept yelling at Quentin to go faster but her was already doing 85 in a 60, so he was't about to push his luck. They pulled up to the hospital 20 minutes later. Safaree sprinted into the hospital.

"Um where is Nicki--" he shook his head "Onika Maraj?" the nurse checked her roster.

"She is still in the back, the doctor is in with her now. Are you family?"

"Know but I'm the father of the babies."

"Go ahead and go back. She is in the last curtain on the left." she hit a button and the door opened.

"Thank you." He rushed back and found her. She was still having pains. "Nicki?"

"Safaree!"

"What happened baby?" he stood by her side and grabbed her hand.

"We went to go get me some Ginger Ale then we were just playing and the pains just came."

"You'll be fine Nic. What is the doctor saying?" He kissed her on her forehead and rubbed her stomach.

"He just left, all he did was ask some questions then left."

"He just left? Naw i'll get some answers, what does he look like?"

"He has on glasses and green scrubs." Safaree walked out and surveyed the room and spotted someone who fit the description. He walked up to him and tapped his shoulder.

"Yo my man are you Onikas Doctor?"

"Whos asking?"

"Yo I'm asking the questions, do you know what's wrong with her yet?"

"You need to calm down sir."

"Don't tell me to calm down just tell me what i asked." He raised his voice. Security started walking towards them but the doctor put up his hand for them to stand down.

"Onika is fine. More than likely she ate something she wasn't supposed to, she has ingestion mixed with a little gas. I'll give her something to make the pain go away." Safarees face softened.

"I'm sorry i didn't mean to get loud with you its just those are my babies she's carrying."

"I figured that. Tell her I'll bring her something for it in a minute." He moved around Safaree and went into another room. Safaree went back into the room with Nicki.

"Nicki." She was squirming around on the bed.

"Huh?"

"Open your eyes and look at me." She slowly opened her eyes. He bent down and was eye level with her. "Tell me what you ate when I left." She closed her eyes back. "No open your eyes and tell me."

"Safaree leave me alone." she said. Nina tried slipping out the room but he caught her.

"Get back here." she stopped. "What did she eat?" Nina looked over at Nicki who was staring at her with one eye open, silently telling her no. Then she looked back at Safaree.

"A lot."

"What's a lot?" Nicki sighed.

"Orange chicken, some burger from Wendy's, red hots, and a root beer float."

"Nicki!" He raised his voice.

"Don't yell at her Safaree can't you see she is in pain?"

"Its her fault and Candi and Laurens because I know one of them gave it to her. She getting exactly what she deserve. i told you about eating all that junk." he sat in the chair by her and held her hand. "You'll be fine, he is bringing you something for it." Just then the doctor entered the room with Candi and Lauren.

"Look who I found?" he said in a chipper voice.

"Are you okay?" Lauren asked. Candi looked at Safaree who was giving her the death glare.

"She wouldn't be here if you two didn't bring her all that food." Safaree said through gritted teeth.

"So the babies are fine?" Lauren asked.

"Yes the babies are just fine. One looks like any day now it will be turned all the way upside down." the doctor said. "Onika here drink this and the pain should subside in about 15 minutes." he handed her the cup. Nicki sat up in bed and took it from him. She smelled it and pushed it back his way.

"Ew that stinks."

"I never said it was going to be good but you have to drink it to feel better." He pushed it back towards  but she pushed it back his way. He looked towards Safaree for help. Safaree stood up and took the cup.

"I got it doc thanks."

"She has to drink it all. I'll be back in a few." he left out the room. Safaree sat facing Nicki on the bed.

"Come on baby you have to drink it." She shook her head no. "Come on butterball do it for me you know I don't like to see you like this." he stroked her cheek.

"It stinks Faree."

"I know but you have to take it to feel better. The quicker you drink it the faster it will go away." he put the straw up to he lips. It took a minute but she eventually put the straw in her mouth and drank it. "See it's not to bad. A little more you're almost done." She pushed it away and swallowed what was in her mouth. "You have two more mouth fulls and it's over." She took the cup and gave the straw to Safaree and just drank from the cup. She got it all down in a matter of seconds.

"Here." he took the cup and threw it away.

"I bet you won't eat all that bullshit again."

"Leave me alone." He sat back in the chair. Then looked at the girls.

"Y'all actually went out in public with those on?" he laughed.

"Shut up Safaree." Nina said.

"Yall the ones who look like the three stooges." he laughed harder.

"You not funny." They all laughed but Nicki. All of a sudden the room got quiet and all you heard was a loud Frrrrrrrrrppppppppppp! They all looked over at Nicki.

"Did you just?" Lauren couldn't even get the rest of the question out because the smell hit her. "Ewww Nicki you stink!" She covered her nose and left the room.

"What crawled up you and died?" Candi followed Lauren. Nina had no words she just left. Safaree shook his head.

"Feel better?" she shook her head yes but frown up her face.

"I stink." he laughed then she farted again.

"You damn right you do." he got up and left the room as well.

"Safaree don't leave me." she will giggle and continue to pass gas. She sat with her hands across her stomach in flatulent heaven.
