Narrator's POV
Nicki: "Excuse me, did you say Keisha? Like the same Keisha that you was fucking? The same Keisha that caused me to...to lose my baby," she said getting choked up.
"How did she even know we lost the baby Meek? Are you still talking to that bitch?"
Meek: "No, fuck no! I don't know how she found out."
Nicki: "And what did she mean by you're going to be a dad again. I swear to God Meek if you got her pregnant..."
Meek: "She can't be. I wrapped it up!"
Nicki: "You sure ?" she stated with an unconvinced expression.
Meek: "What, you don't believe me?"
Nicki: "I find that quite hard to do."
The door opened and in walked Nurse Mary.
"Woah, what happened here," she said eyeing the broken flower vase.
Nicki: "Damn, are yall going to keep coming in every five minutes?" she asked annoyed.
Mary: "Well I'm under orders to administer you...," she looked at her chart, "some pain medicine for that wound and some induction meds."
Nicki sighed loudly to express her discomfort as she rolled her sleeve up giving the nurse access to her IV. After giving Nicki her medicine, she proceeded to leave the room.
"I'll send someone in here to clean up that mess," she assured as she exited the room.
Meek: "Just for the time being, to make this process as easy as possible, can we get through it without arguing. Since we're dealing with the loss of a child, I think we should at least stick together for right now until you know what."
She nodded her head and wiped her fallen tears as Meek walked over to the bed and took off his shoes. He climbed behind Nicki and wrapped his arms around her waist, kissing her hair. "I'm so sorry baby," he said before they dosed off for the night.

THREE DAYS LATER
Nicki and Meek were preparing to leave the hospital. After being there for almost a week, Dr. Burke allowed her to go home to continue recovery. Her chest wound was healing nicely and Dr. Burke had taught Meek how to give the injections at home.
Dr. Burke: "Here are your discharge papers, Onika. And here is my card. This is my personal on call number so if anything happens, you can reach me directly."
Nicki: "Thank you Dr. Burke. You've been a great help throughout this entire thing."
Dr. Burke: "No problem Onika. Stay strong and see you soon."
Meek walked in the room. "Baby, I pulled the car around. I'm ready whenever you are."
Meek helped Nicki in the wheelchair as he pushed her out of the hospital and to the car.
Nicki: "Thank you Meek, for helping me."
Meek: "Don't thank me. You're the love of my life...I'm supposed to help you and be there for you."

Later That Night
Meek: "Okay so I'm going to give you your shot, then I'll run your bath water so you can take a bath."
She nodded as Meek laid her on the bed and slowly took off her sweat pants and underwear. His hand traveled down her thighs very sensually as Nicki's heart fluttered.
