Forever is Perfect

Chapter 31

**NICKI POV**

"You bought us a new house!?" I exclaimed after he showed me the pictures of it on his phone.

"Yeah, do you like it? Its in a gated community." He explained, "I was hoping everything would be finalized by yesterday but it had to wait until today."

I hugged him, "I love it." he wrapped his arms around me and kissed my forehead.

I pulled away, "I'm gonna go get Londyn from Thembi's. Can you get us all packed up while I'm gone?"

"Yeah sure. You sure you dont want me to ride with you?"

"Nooo no. You can't come. I was supposed to LEAVE you remember. I have to tell her that I changed my mind." I explained. Thembi HATES Drake now, I just hope she'll still be my best friend.

I knocked on Thembi's door, taking a deep breath as she opened it.

"How'd it go?" she asked.

"I'm not leaving him." I blurted out.

"What?"

"I love him too much, and he loves me. We have to stay together for ourselves and for Londyn."

"That sounds like a bunch of shit he told you to convince you to stay."

"We're moving too."

"Oh so he bribed you?" she cocked an eyebrow at me.

"No, he didn't bribe me. He told me about it after I decided to stay with him." I informed.

"Nicki why are you doing this to yourself?"

"He's my husband!" I protested.

She took a deep breath, "you need help."

"You know what, maybe I do. Its just a shame that I can't get that help from my best friend."

"I tried to help you." she replied, "You think I like seeing you get hurt?"

I shook my head in an effort to ward off tears.

"I came here to get Londyn, not to argue with you about my relationship." I stated, calming myself down.

"Nic, I'm just trying to look out for you."

"Londyn do you like our new house?" I asked her as we stepped inside.

"Its gigantic!" she exclaimed and ran off towards the livingroom.

"How do you like it?" Drake asked putting his arm around me.

"I love it." I replied.

"Great."

Months later I was out shopping with Bri when I started feeling sick.

"You okay?" she asked.

"Yeah I think I'm fine." I replied.

She pulled me towards the restroom and I immediately vomited into the toilet.

She giggled.

"Why is this so funny to you?" I rolled my eyes, jokingly.

"Some things never change."

"What do you mean?"

"You found out you were pregnant with Londyn when I first met you. And you were throwing up in the hospital restroom." she explained.

"Except I'm not pregnant this time."

"I beg to differ." she replied.

"You had two kids, over a decade ago. You can't be an expert on pregnancy."

"What makes you so sure that you're not?"

"Well, for starters, I would have had to have sex in order to become pregnant." I said as I began standing up.

"Mm.. I guess you're right. But there's only one way to find out." She smiled.

At the hospital we sat in the examination room after they had ran their tests.

"I'm so excited." Bri said squeezing my hand.

"Did you call Drake?"

"No, but I'll text him now."

The door opened as the doctor walked in, "Congratulations."

"What?" I asked, confused.

"Nika you're pregnant!" Bri exclaimed.

"What? H-how far along am I?" I asked.

"4 months." he replied.

March, February, January....

December.

"Can I leave now?" my head was spinning.

"After we set up your next appointment." he stated.

"Set it for whenever. I just want to go home." I protested.

I started to sit up, but it just made me more dizzy.

I woke up to Drake standing over me, I was in a different hospital room now.

"Hey," he said softly, "are you okay?"

I nodded as tears rolled slowly down my cheeks, "I think so."

"What happened?"

"Are we alone?"

"Yeah its just us." he replied.

"Did they tell you?"

"That you're pregnant?"

"Yeah I'm 4 months along." I looked into his eyes, "four months ago was December."

"Yeah.."

"When's the last time we had sex in December?" I asked, hoping he would figure it out.

"What do you mean?"

"This baby is from when you raped me on my birthday babe, we haven't had sex since then." I explained.

"I-I'm sorry babe." he held back tears, "I'll get help."

"Babe," I reached my hand out to touch his face, "relax. I'm not angry or upset or anything. It just struck me by surprise, that's all."

"I love you." he smiled, "but how can you always be so forgiving?"

"I don't know, maybe its me that needs some sort of help" I shrugged "I just know that, you're my husband and I love you. And I know that you love me."

"I couldn't ask for a better wife." he leaned forward and kissed me.
