48. Big Boy

Nicki- oh my god!

Meek- it hurts?

Nicki- yessss" I whined

Meek- calm down baby" he said to the baby inside of me.

We watched as our baby did a complete 360 in my belly. It was my first to experiencing this. Razah moved a lot but he did shift his whole body all at once. You could see its little feet and arms through my skin.

Nicki- it must be almost time for me to give birth because the baby's turning

Meek- yeah what we got, 2 more weeks?

Nicki- yep, and I can't wait because I'm so over this shit. No more babies until I turn 30.

Meek- that's fine with me, I ain't in no rush.

Nicki- ouch Meek! Rub it!

Meek- ok, just don't cry.

Nicki- I can't help it" I whined

Meek- you been crying every 10 minutes Nicki. You gotta chill.

Nicki- because I'm just uncomfortable and I'm ready for this baby to get out of me.

Meek- it's gone be out soon baby just don't think about it.

Nicki- I can't not think about a human that's about to tear my vagina open.

Meek- you ain't have to say all that Nicki.

Nicki- I'm just want you to understand what I'm about to go through.

Meek- I understand, and Ima be right there.

Nicki- I know. I don't mean to be cranky Meek I'm just scared.

Meek- its ight, I'll deal with it for now but when the baby come out its gone start being consequences for that attitude you be havin.

Nicki- is that right?

Meek- I can show you better than I can tell you.

Nicki- I just bet you can

I turned on my side facing away from Meek while he rubbed my lower back. One thing I liked about being pregnant was the attention that Meek showed me. The endless massages and affection was something that I couldn't get enough of. Not that he didn't show affection on the regular, it was just the fact that he understood and sympathized with me that made it feel different.

Nicki- can you go get my baby?

Meek- no Nicki, he still sleep.

Nicki- I know but can't you just go get him anyways?

Meek- no. Why you just can't chill with me for a minute? What's wrong with me?

Nicki- nothing baby, I just miss him. You know I love chillin with you though.

Meek- mhm

Nicki- give me a kiss

He did and then he laid his head on my belly while I rubbed his head.

Nicki- what are we doing today?

Meek- we can't really do much. We can't go out or nothin so I guess we can just chill in the house.

Nicki- I'm tired of being in the house tho

Meek- I know but we don't want you to go into labor early.

Nicki- you know what I wanna do right after the baby comes?

Meek- what?

Nicki- I want us to go to the beach

Meek- the beach? Why the beach?

Nicki- because, it's just a calm, beautiful place and it makes me happy.

Meek- well if that's what you wanna do then that's what we'll do.

Nicki- ok

He moved his head down to my lap and placed kisses all over the bottom of my belly while resting his hand at the top. For some reason he was obsessed with my belly button which I found to be disgusting.

Nicki- did we ever decide on a name?

Meek- no because you don't like my names and I don't like yours

Nicki- it's not that I don't like yours, it's just I like mines better.

Meek- well I like mines better than yours

Nicki- how about if it's a boy you can name him and if it's a girl I get to name her.

Meek- what about the loser gets to pick the middle name?

Nicki- ok

..

We've been in bed all day just talking and cuddling with our two babies. Razah was laying on my belly like always drinking his bottle while I rubbed his hair. It seemed to be him and his dad's favorite place to lay, but I didn't mind one bit.

Nicki- can I ask you something?

Meek- no..

Nicki- Meeeeek

Meek- I'm playin, go ahead.

Nicki- how come I never met any of your friends?

Meek- because I don't have any

Nicki- yes you do

Meek- none that I think you should meet.

Nicki- why? I would like to meet some of your friends.

Meek- you will one day

Nicki- I just wanna meet someone close to you.

Meek- ain't nobody but me and ma and you talk to her over the phone all the time.

Nicki- oh..

Meek- oh what?

Nicki- nothing, I just wish our kids had more family to get to know.

Meek- yeah, but they cool. At least they got two parents that love them to death.

..

Nicki- baby, I think the pool is here

I walked to the front door with Razah on my hip and opened the door for the men. They followed me up to our bedroom and put the pool on the side of our bed. It was still in the box but the box was still big.

Nicki- thank you!" I said as I walked them back to the front door.

I went back upstairs and Meek was coming out of the bathroom.

Meek- that's it?

Nicki- yep

I put Ra down and he crawled over to it and pulled himself up on the box. He banged on it like a drum trying to figure out what if was.

Meek and I started having a conversation about our labor plans and after birth. We didn't hear Razah banging on the box anymore so I looked over and he was walking towards the bed.

Nicki- oh my god!" I yelled swarming him and making him fall

Meek- what?

Nicki- he was walking baby! He did it,

We both hopped out of bed and I picked him up off of the floor.

Nicki- walk to daddy Ra, come on baby.

He stumbled trying to catch his balance and when he did he took of towards Meek, falling into his arms when he got there.

Nicki- yaayyy baby!!! Mommy's big boy!!

He clapped along with me not even realizing what he had just done. I couldn't help but cry. I walked over to Meek and cried on his shoulder as he held me.
