Chapter 9

Nicki walked up to the desk with LJ holding Zuri on his hip. She signed her name on the visitors sheet with her kids name also. The woman at the front desk peeked over the chart then pointed to the area that read "visiting who". Nicki sighed antsy to see him as she wrote his name. The lady grabbed the board then smacked her lips. Hell wrong with this bitch? Problem? She typed in the computer then smirked.

"He doesn't have a visit scheduled until two weeks."

"What? Why?"

"That's the plan for him."

"I need to see him right now."

"You can't."

"Mommy, come on we'll just..."

"No, Zuri... Go sit down."

Nicki pulled her phone out and dial Dr. Wilson. Two weeks, I can't do it. These folks have me all fucked up. I'm not with this, he could of did this at home. She pressed the buttons to be transferred to him then waited for him to answer.

"Hi, Dr. Wilson, this is Nicki.."

"Yes. I know and that's what I'm calling about. I need to see him today."

"Um huh, well had you not told him not to tell me then I wouldn't..."

"Okay."

She smirked at the lady behind the desk then pointed to the computer. She hung up and snapped at the behind her at the kids as the woman smacked her teeth.

"Go behind the double doors and down hallway A and his room is the second one on the right."

"Thanks.."

"Um huh."

She mumbled as they walked towards the double doors. Nicki pushed open the doors and waited until she saw him come into the family visitors room.

~~~~~~

SB jumped up when someone tapped on his room door. He sat on the edge of the bed and looked towards the door.

"Wassup?"

"Yo Coon B, you got visitors."

"What? I thought..."

"Coon, take it."

"Who is it?"

"I don't know, but Rob says its a fine ass lady in the family room."

"What? Must be my sister."

He got up excited about his early visitor. Maybe she brought some of mom's food. He walked through the hallway and looked over at Natalie.

"Wassup Nat."

"Hiiiii, Sexy Faree."

"I told you bout that."

"Hmph... Chocolate ass."

She thought she whispered, but he heard her. He laughed to himself at her thirst and then pulled the door open and smiled big as he saw Zuri standing on a chair shouting from the top of her lungs.

"Hey my name is Zuri, YEAH, I love.... DADDY!"

"Daddy?"

"Missed you guys yo."

"Dad! Come home man."

"Can't lil dude, kind of busy here."

"Okay."

"Don't look so sad son, where's ya mom?"

"Went to get something to eat."

"That's why you on that chair like that."

"The wild things come out when Mama not around."

Zuri said in a country voice. He laughed with LJ as she walked around like a gunman in western time. She stopped and smiled at them as she bowed.

"Is this where you'll be for two weeks?"

"Yep, so now you don't have to worry about where I'm at."

"You okay in here?"

"Yeah Amore why?"

"Its so quiet & that man looks scary."

She stated pointing through the glass window. Earl stood there, but he wasn't looking at them and SB knew this. He got up and went to go talk to him and then the man left as he came back in.

"He's a nice dude just some issues guys."

"Like what?"

"Can't tell you that."

"Can't tell them what?"

He looked up to see Nicki with four plates in a bag in one hand and a cup holder with four drinks in the other. She sat it on the table as she waited to hear what he had to say.

"Nothing, why would I say it in front of them if I said I can't tell em' Nic?"

"Point taken. Well they're about to go in the lobby with Nancy when she gets here."

"Oh, you hired her back?"

"She was never fired."

"What?"

"Come sit at this table you two and eat."

They walked over and sat at the table as she popped the lids of the plate and handed them their food. Zuri smiled at her plate and started singing like she always did when she was excited about something.

"Thank the LAWDT for this gewdt foodt I'm bout to put in my tummy yummy unmmy!"

"Shut up, Zur Zur."

"My brother is a pain,,. Don don don.... OHHH Yess he's a pain!!"

"Zuri?"

"Yes motherrrrrr? I'm bout to say the prayerrrrr!"

She smiled up at her mother then over at her father who was cracking up at her coonish ways. She stood up and grabbed for his hand. He walked over and grabbed her hand and because he was standing next to Nic he grabbed hers as she prayed. He looked at her and she stared back. He rubbed her hand then pulled her close as he leaned forward and kissed her. She pulled back and stared down at the floor biting her lip.

"Amen, Good God lets eat!!"

"Come on Zuri & LJ"

They all looked back to see Nancy. They smiled at each other then she walked over giving SB a hand shake. She was frightened of him. She stepped back and followed the kids out the room.

"Sit down, I bought you some food."

"I'm good, we get..."

"Why didn't you tell me?"

"I told my mom..."

"I said you, not your mom."

"I didn't want you coming up here, but I see that didn't stop you."

"I missed you. I love you. Why won't you let me help you instead of doing it by yourself?"

"I've done enough to hurt my family, I don't need you guys in this matter besides being on the sideline for support. Nic, let me do this for me."

"What about US?"

"When I get myself together then I can work on us."

"Whatever... Sounds selfish to me."

He sat back against the chair and put his head on the wall with his eyes closed. She stuck some chicken in her mouth and stared over at him. He acting like he can't do this from home. He just want to be up here away from home. Who does he think he is talking to?

"How long is the visit?"

"Bitch at the front told me 2 hours after you got in here."

"Oh, okay."

"Why? You ready for us to leave?"

"What? No, I'm just trying..."

"To get rid of us."

"That's not what I'm doing! If you just let me talk... Fuck it."

He stood up and slammed the chair into the table. Nicki jumped up and grabbed his arm. He snatched away from her, but she grabbed him again.

"I'm sorry, talk to me baby."

"So you can interrupt?"

"No, I'm listening."

He looked her over and stared into her face. She pulled him back to his chair as she kicked it out. He sat down and watched her grab her plate and sit in his lap. He knew what she was doing.

"I'm not gone get up baby."

"And I'm a make sure."

"I need to see your face, I've missed it."

She turned around and straddled his lap. He shook his head. Well I asked to see her face and I see it. He watched her eat as if she was eating for a family of five plus. She smiled with food in her cheeks. He sat with a stone face. No motion. No emotion. No blinking. Nothing just staring.

Her face was glowing as her cheeks moved up and down as her mouth curved, lips poking in and out. Her eyes were big and bright as she talked to him about how much she missed him, about the kids and when he was coming home. He leaned forward as he grabbed her chin and kissed it. He slowly moved along her jawline to her neck. She placed her hand without the chicken on to his shoulder and ate with the other as she moaned both at the sensation he was causing with his lips and the goodness of the chicken. God I'm too hungry and the way he's sucking on my neck... I hope he's ready to eat.

"Faree, where's your room?"

"Why?"

"I need the dick."

"It's only been..."

"Too long lets go."

She stood up and looked at him. He looked up her as if she was crazy. She put her finger up and left out the room. I'm not having sex with her in this place, she tripping. Damn, trying to take a man goods. He started to follow after her when LJ and Zuri came rushing into the room.

"Bye Dad!"

"Bye Daddy, kiss?"

"Huh, where..."

"Going with Nancy to the ice cream shop."

"Kiss?"

He picked her up and kissed her then dapped up LJ and ruffled his hair. They ran out the room as Nic stood by the door eying him. She smirked and walked up on him. He backed up until he hit the back door. She smiled seductively as she reached into his sweats.

"We not doing this here."

"Where's your room, Faree?"

"You can wait two weeks."

"Welp, I'm taking you right here."

She pushed her hands back in his pants and grabbed his penis before he pulled her hands out. No draws? Oh. She stroked him causing him to lean his head back. She pushed his pants down and smiled at him being rock hard.

"Why don't you have on draws? Who you free bawling for?"

"Washing my clothes."

"Um huh."

"Since you not letting up, come on."

He pulled his pants up and grabbed her stuff off the table then lead her through the double doors. Nat wasn't there so he hit the button and let them in. She walked down the hall and found his name then pushed the door open. Small, but roomy. Cute. She looked behind her to see him talking to some guy. She pulled off her shirt and bottoms then cleared her throat. He looked back and his eyes went buck then he faced his friend and said something then shut and locked the door.

"Yo, what's up with that? Don't do that shit no more."

"You have an hour and ten minutes. Lets go."

******

"Nicki!"

"What?"

"You didn't need it that bad."

"Yes I did. He gave it up."

"I can't stand your ass."

"What I do?"

"You stay raping that fool and he just go with the flow."

"My dick."

Lauren frowned then howled out at the serious look on her face as her friends asked what went day a few days ago. She spilled the beans after they forced her by pinning her to the floor and beating her with their fist.

"Nic, are you pregnant?"

"Huh?"

"You heard me!"

She smirked a little as she looked down at the cheese pizza she was engulfing like it was going somewhere. They're eyes got big as they figured the answer was yes. She started crying as they hugged her tight.

"Why are you crying?"

"I didn't tell him."

"What? Why not?"

"It's his baby right?"

"Of course, but the doctor said he might not make it."

"He? Wait, Nic how far along are you?"

"Six months."

"Bitch, what the hell?"

"Shhhhh.."

She pulled up her shirt and showed them her visible stomach. It was out enough to know that she was pregnant, but small enough to think she was just bolted. They all rubbed it as she looked down and rubbed over it. She had been to the doctor and knew it the second month of conceiving. She bit at her bottom lip as they all sat back, Lauren, Candi, Tyesha and Iesha, looking over her.

"What's going on?"

"He isn't growing or eating much even though I'm eating a whole two houses."

"What the doctor say?"

"Stress..."

"Safaree?"

"Stress."

"Because of Safaree Nic don't keep acting like it isn't him."

"Us."

"Nic you're only stressing because of him don't blame yourself."

"But he wouldn't be this way had I not been so pushy with him coming home."

"Nicki, are you fucking serious? You know what let me get out of here because I won't sit here and listen to you blame yourself because he's too caught up on another bitches cuchie who fucked him over and taking it out on the people he say he loves. You didn't do shit, but love the dumb ass fool, taking his back and forth and confusion. Ha! I never would of thought I'd see a weak Onika and over a man."

Candi shouted stuffing her arm in her jacket and grabbed her keys. Nicki sat staring a hole in her back. No-one understood and she was done trying to explain to her friends. She pushed up off the seat and left them in the living room.

"I'm going to take a nap before my babies come home."

~~~~~~

Nicki rolled over to feel hair all over her face. She sat up and peered down at Zuri who was sprawled out over the sheets. She looked towards the end of the bed at LJ and Iris on the floor. She crawled to the end of the bed to see then drawing on a large paper pad. She laid on her stomach and watched them as Iris pointed to places he messed up or she liked. He smirked when she touched his curls then laid down her head near his leg. It was like they were speaking through actions and she thought it was the cutest thing.

"Awww."

They both jumped and looked back at her. She sat up and slid of the side of the bed into her slippers. She looked them over then headed out her room door. LJ and Iris were right on her trail. She walked down the stairs to smell food and hear talking.

"Hey little miss sleepy head."

"You guys are still here, Awww!"

"Yep, decided we'll make sure you stay stress free and our nephew gets better."

"Why you didn't tell us mom?"

"Cause I don't know if he'll live or not."

She stated feeling sad all over again. TT sensed her mood changed and hurried over to her rescue.

"Look, today we're all going to relax and watch movies.. Eat snacks and stuff."

"Yay! Come on Iris."

******

Nas pulled up and stepped up to Nicki as she held her arms out to him. He hugged her tight taking in her smell. She smiled stepping back and taking in his presence. He walked with her into the coffee shop. He looked over her combed hair that was in a ponytail. She smiled at him as he reached for her hand.

"Thanks for meeting me here Tanya."

"That's what friends are for right?"

"Yeah, right."

"So wassup?"

He paused then looked her in the eyes. They flashed gray as they pierced his soul. She became uneasy at the stare down he was giving her. She shifted in her seat, but kept her eyes on him and slowly pulled her hand out of his hands. He licked his lips then slummed into his chair.

"I need some closure, Onika."

"We've been over for five plus years Nasir, so..."

"And I haven't gotten over you since then."

"Well what do you want me to do?"

"Be mine."

He stated aggressively. She squinted her eyes at him to see if he was serious. She breathe in slow then out. She bit at the side of her lip then stared him in the face. His balls are getting too big. She stood up and shook her head.

"Bye Nas."

"Where are you going?"

"Back to my shop. I'm not dealing with your shit right now."

"Answer me now!"

"Nas let go of my hand, so I can leave."

"Onika, answer me dammit."

"NO NAS! I DONT WANT TO BE WITH YOU!"

"Why?"

He whined. Nicki rolled her eyes in disgust. He better not start acting like a little bitch nigga. As soon as the thought sunk in, he got on his knees and began begging for her to take him back. She stepped around him and rushed out the door.

He stood outside the car door pulling it. Nicki sat in the seat trying to calm herself down for the baby's sake, but nothing was working. She stepped out the car and walked up to him and jabbed Nas in the face.

"Get the fuck off my car and leave me the hell alone."

"Nic, I love you."

"Then let me go and be happy."

"Ma'am are you okay?"

"Yes, I just need to get him off my car so I can go home."

"Sir can..."

"No, she hit me, look!"

He looked over the ring print in the side of Nas' face. He looked back at Nic and shook his head.

"Do you want to press charges sir?"

"What? Really! This fool has been holding me hostage out here and you're asking does..."

"Naw, she can go."

The police officer stepped back and let her get in her car. She got in and as she pulled off she shoot them both a bird then sped off. I wish that fucker would pull me over. She looked in her rear view mirror. Assholes.

"If I ever run into that bastard again when I'm not pregnant I'm going to fuck him up."
