You Saved Me: An Omeeka Story

Chapter 12

Nicki
"Mom, why is he here?" I said and my mom nervously looked back at my dad.
"You know your father loves you Onika. Don't deny it." She said and I screwed my face up at her in confusion.
"Mom... I knew it! This was all a fucking set up or some shit! Why the hell are you backing him up? I shouldn't have ever let you back into my life because now I know that was a huge mistake." I said and tears welled up in her eyes and she held them back.
"Meek let's go. Papi come to mommy, we're going home." I said and he walked over sadly and we walked out and got in the car. I laid my head on the window and wiped my tears that we're starting to fall.
"We'll talk about it when we get home." Meek whispered and I nodded.
At home
I put Papi to bed after trying to explain to him what happened. Meek was laying down on his phone and I got in the bed and he instantly held me.
"You okay baby?" He asked rubbing my stomach trying to sooth my nerves.
"No, I know my mother... Somethings not right." I said and Meek nodded.
"You think it's him?" He asked
"Yeah, he's probably threatening her... telling her things." I said and he nodded. He was right.
"Nic, I'll tell you this. Call her over and have her pack her things and she can stay here till I find her a new house. Everything paid for." He said and my eyes widened.
"Meek you don't have to do that... a house? That's crazy, I could take care of that." I said and he shook his head.
"I ain't broke. I can pay for a house probably in the neighborhood next to ours which is probably 20 minutes away." He said and my eyes widened.
"Meek, those are million dollar houses. You don't have to do all-"
"How much you think this house cost? I got it under control don't worry about it and call her." He said and I kissed him.
"I love you so much and thank you." I said and he smiled rubbing my stomach.
"You welcome and I love you too. I can't wait for the baby to show a little more. I mean you got a tiny bump but that's it." He said and I giggled.
"Just give the baby some time to grow. I'm two months Meek." I said looking at my stomach.
"Ight but I got something else in mind before going to sleep." Meek said moving his hands down to my pants but I grabbed his hand.
"Do you think it's safe for the baby?"
"Yeah if I say it is." Meek said continuing.
"No Meek I'll check with the Doctor next week. So no sex." I said and his eyes widened.
"Nic, you playing right?" He asked and I kissed his lips.
"Baby just until next week. You'll be fine. Goodnight." I got up and turned the light off and laid back down. He wrapped his arms around me and kissed my shoulder.
"Goodnight baby."

"Can you get breakfast because I'm picking up my mom." I asked and he nodded as I left out the house with my keys.
When I got there my mom was sitting on the porch. I got out the car and walked to her.
"Mom come with me. We're going to my house." I said and she looked up at me.
"Nika-"
"Nope, just come one because Meek's getting breakfast." I said and she followed me back to the car and got in the passenger side.
"I'm sorry baby girl. I didn't mean to say all that. He made me-"
"I know. I figured that" I said and she sighed.
"I'm sorry Nika..." She said and I nodded.
"It's okay. Let's drop it, just think it never happened because I can't be stressed out like this. It's not good f-never mind." I said and she looked at me and smiled.
"Something you want to tell me? What were you about to say?" She asked and I glanced over at her.
"Um... I was about to say uh, it's not good for m-my hair. Yeah I don't want gray hair now." I said and she sighed.
"Oh, that's it? Nothing else you want to tell your mother?" She asked and I shook my head.
"Nope, not a thing." I said and she nodded sighing as we pulled up in my driveway.
"Oh wow. This is a very nice house Onika." She said as we walked inside.
"Thank you mom. Meek! Baby were home." I said and he came down the stairs.
"Hey ma." Meek said giving her a hug and she smiled.
"Hey baby." He said and started to rub my stomach but I pushed his hand off.
"I didn't tell her." I whispered.
"Sorry." He said and my mother turned around noticing the situation.
"What's wrong?" She asked and I smiled.
"Nothing, nothing's wrong. Just go asks the chefs over there for anything and they will make it. Just make yourself at home." Meek said and I walked upstairs with him.
"How come you didn't tell your mom you pregnant!" He said soft enough so she wouldn't hear downstairs.
"She's going to be mad at me. I just come back in contact with her and she just met you. Then I tell her I'm pregnant? She's going to be so disappointed." I said and tears welled up in my eyes and Meek hugged me.
"She won't be upset. How about we tell her over breakfast?" He asked and I nodded in agreement and we walked back downstairs. I sat at the table and one of the chefs sat a bowl of fruit in front of me.
"Here you are Mrs. Williams. Robert requested that you have fruit so you could stay healthy." He said and I smiled.
"Thank you and call me Onika." I said and Meek stood behind my chair rubbing my shoulders.
"Would you like a bowl of fruit as well, Robert?" He asked and Meek thought for a minutes.
"Yes, thank you." Meek answered and the chef nodded.
"Very well sir." He said and went back in the kitchen.
"Okay mom. Meek and I have something to share with you." I said as Meek sat down.
"Okay." She said giving us her full attention and I looked at Meek and he nodded.
"Meek and I are uh...never mind." I said and bursted into tears as I ran to the closest guest bedroom and cried on the bed.
"Onika, what's up? You can tell me anything, I'm your mother." She said closing the door behind her and sitting in the bed next to me rubbing my back in circles.
"I missed you so much. I missed having a mother..." I said quietly and she kissed my cheek.
"I will be here always when you need me for now on. I promise." She said and I let out a breath getting myself together to tell her about my pregnancy.
"I don't want you to be disappointed in me because I know we just got back in contact and you met Meek only three times..." I said and she looked at me and shook her head.
"Your everything I wanted in a daughter, we always had ups and downs. It's okay to talk to me." She said and I sighed.
"I'm, I'm pregnant." I said looking away and I heard her sniffles.
"Oh my god. This is the moment I always dreamed of, my daughter telling me that she's carrying my grandchild... congratulations!" She said and I let a weak smile string across my face.
"How far along are you?"
"I think two months." I said and she kissed my cheek.
"I don't know why you thought I would be mad because this is just so amazing." She said rubbing my stomach in circles.
"You wanna come back and eat so you can feed my grand baby?" She asked and I nodded and giggled a little bit.
"Yeah I don't want to starve my child." I said and we walked back to the kitchen.
"I knew you got her pregnant. I could feel it while I was in the car with her." My mom said and Meek laughed.
"Look at her stomach." Meek said and my mom looked at me as I turned to the side, showing my bump.
"Oh I do see a little something there." She said and rubbed my stomach.
"Wow I'm so happy right now." My mom said and I laughed.
"I'm just a little nervous." I said and my mom smiled.
"Everything's going to be fine. Don't worry if anything you should enjoy your pregnancy." She said and I nodded.
