Drunk In Love

Onika's POV
Knowles Household
February 25

Mama T had been looking after me since she found out I was pregnant. The more kids her kids had, the happier she was.

I was glad to be contributing to her everlasting happiness. At this very moment, she was brewing up a morning sickness remedy.

She made sure my feet were elevated. Ensured I was comfortable on the couch and I had water with me. She even had my favourite show playing: RHOP.

"Onika?!" She called from the kitchen.

"Yes?"

"Wait, never mind. I'll give you both." She replied.

I sighed knowing she was about to give me lots of food. She was so happy to be really cooking for me. Especially since she only had one kid to cook for in her house now.

Maybe except Destiny who always came home for some food.

"I made you a lemon and ginger shot to really clear your system." She placed the shot on the coffee table. "Then here are some sliders. I've been really experimenting with those recipes you gave me."

"These look so good." I did a little happy dance in my seat.

"Take the shot first." She lifted it and brought it to my lips. I sighed before taking it. I scrunched my face for a second at the initial taste. "Good job, sweetie pie."

"Do not call me that." I chuckled, wiping the corner of my mouth. "Sweetheart is so much better."

"Ok, sweetheart. Eat your mini burgers. I need a review." She got comfortable next to me and unpaused the television.

I took a bite of the burgers and melted into my seat. They were so good and the look on her face confirmed the effort to she put into it. I continued eating until I finished half of the sliders.

"These are delicious."

"I added a little Houston twist." She cheesed. "Try it with this sauce I made."

"Ok." I mumbled as I dipped my next one rink the sauce. When I took a bite, I hummed in satisfaction. "It just gets better."

"While you're pregnant, I'm going to cook everything for you." She said whilst tapping my knee.

I ate the remaining sliders as we watched tv. I had her hooked on this show. She normally didn't like any drama shows at all. She only watched older films and shows.

Halfway through our watching, she went back to the kitchen and came back with another shot. I drank it because she made me. She was hellbent on maintaining my health-I was very grateful for that.

After the shot, I started getting sleepy. I was full from the food and she even brought me a blanket. I felt like a little kid taking their nap.

"Can I keep watching?" She asked, referring to the show.

"No." I laughed as my blinks began to slow down. She switched the channel to one of the shows that she loved.

"Ok, sweetie pie." She stroked my hair back before fixing the blanket on top of me.

I instantly fell asleep.

I started tossing and turning in my position. I kept replaying the day at the mall when I saw Nasir. I imagined him walking up to me but I could see bullet holes in him. When he got to me he told me that he wanted to see our daughter.
