**NICKI POV**
I woke up still cuddled up with Londyn, she was sleeping peacefully with her hair going every which way. She was so beautiful.
I sat up slowly and built her a pillow fort on the bed so she wouldn't roll around too much.
I walked into bathroom and undressed slowly, thinking of all the happy times I had with Aubrey. Two more days.
I stepped into the shower and quickly washed my body and my hair. I stood, letting the water pour onto my face and run down my body. No matter how it all plays out.. Its still me and her.
I stepped out of the shower and wrapped myself in a towel.
I stared at my reflection as I brushed my teeth and combed through my wet hair.
About an hour or so later Londyn and I were on our way to the prison to visit Drake for the second and possibly final time. The guards let us into a different room this time. There tables with prisoners sitting on one side and visiters on the other.
As I walked in through the metal detector that was by the entrance something set the alarm off on me.
"Ma'am we are going to have to check you and your baby." The guard said sternly.
I had to hold Londyn out while they ran the hand held detector around her briefly.
"She's clear"
"I know. I'm the one who dressed her" I rolled her eyes. He made me sit Londyn down so I could put my hands up against the wall and be patted down.
I've never been patted down, so the procedure was.... Awkward.
Afterwards I turned around just in time to see Londyn stand shakily and unsteadily hobble two little steps towards Aubrey and fall down.
"Oh my God!" I was so overwhelmed.
"Has she-?" Drake looked up at me.
"No that was her first." I informed as the tears of joy approached.
"Great job Londyn." Aubrey smiled at her.
"My baby girl took her first steps!" I was so excited I hadn't realized i had attracted the attention of everyone else until there was a round of applause.
"Yayy Londyn!" Aubrey joined in.
Londyn looked around and laughed adorably as she joined the clapping.
I picked her up and sat across from Aubrey as everyone calmed back down.
"Hey" he smiled.
"Hey." I smiled back, "I-I'm sorry we're just getting back here again."
I clutched Londyn in my arms.
"Its funny how clear your inseparable bond is with her." He said reaching his arm across the table.
I lifted Londyn so that her hand could rest in his.
"She's my little angel. She keeps me sane." I replied. "She's my diary most of the time. I just tell her everything even though she usually has no clue what I mean."
"Thats adorable." He grinned, "I just hope I wont be the third wheel when I come. I want to have that same close bond with both of you."
"Don't worry," I touched his free hand, "you will. Everything will work out."
3 months later we were getting ready for Londyn's 1st birthday party which was being shared with Jennifer and Jordan.
"Why couldn't she have her own party. I mean, 1st birthdays are important." Drake protested.
"She wont even remember it. Besides Jade-" I stopped myself from bringing up the past "She'll probably sleep through it."
"What were you about to say?" he asked.
"Nothing.." I replied.
"It was something." He shook his head and dropped the topic.
"I was gonna make her a personal cake though." I added.
"What kind?" he asked.
"Any kind you want babe," I replied pulling out the supplies.
"Well.. I know what kind I want, but I don't see how that will benefit Londyn at all." He smirked and wrapped his arms around my waist.
"I can't stand you" I laughed.
"Cut me some slack its been over a year since I've had some Niccake." He said squeezing my ass slightly.
"Maybe tomorrow night?" I offered.
"Tonight?" He asked.
"Fine." I gave in.
"Both?" He raised an eyebrow.
"Don't push it." I snickered as he kissed me.
"I love you Onika."
"I love you too Aubrey."
We shared a passionate kiss for a few moments until I could faintly hear Londyn calling for me.
"Londyn's up." I said pulling away.
"How come you can always know she's up without her even making a noise?" He shook his head, smiling.
"You were just too busy kissing me to notice." I teased.
"Can I try getting her up again?" he asked. "Lately she's seemed to be getting used to me."
"She's your daughter too, you don't have to ask. I want her to warm up to you." I replied.
**DRAKE POV**
I walked upstairs to Londyn's room.
"Hey Londyn." I said approaching the crib.
"Nooo!" She screeched. "Mama"
"Londyn calm down. Mama is downstairs I'm gonna take you to her." I explained.
I reached for her but she threw herself around in her crib so I couldn't grab her.
I heard Nicki say something in Spanish from behind me.
**NICKI POV**
"Niña ¡Pare!" I said entering the room.
She obeyed and stopped screaming.
I leaned against her crib, "come here"
She crawled to me and stood up.
"Mama." she smiled. "T-amo"
"Te amo muy niña but I need you to listen to me okay? Escuchar." I said sternly.
"Daddy is here with us now. He loves you very much, and you need to be nice." I explained.
She poked her bottom lip out. "T-amo mama"
"Go to daddy." I told her.
She looked at him and cried, "no. Wan mama"
I used my thumb and pointer finger to slightly pinch her cheeks together. "You are making Mommy unhappy. And daddy is sad when you do this."
"Senno" she poked out her bottom lip again and it quivered.
"Come on out, we have a big day." I picked her up and she squeezed me tight.
"T-amo"
"Te amo niña. Buenos días y feliz cumpleaños."
"Ben-das" she replied.
I love her broken Spanish. I changed her diaper, I kept peeking at Drake who had stayed with his back to us the entire time. Please don't make this morning any worse. I could imagine his anger coming out because of this.
QOTD: how old are you?
Aotd: 15 lol. (how old did you think I was?)
