Life As A Single Mom

Chapter One

I kissed my nine year old daughter Imani and my six year old daughter Chloe before they ran away inside of their school. I got back into the car with my newborn daughter Destiny and drove home. I was hoping Drake would come and see his daughters after leaving me when he found out I was pregnant with Destiny.

My neighbors have been fed up with me. Destiny crying and waking up people in the middle of the night. It's not my fault. I wasn't planning on getting pregnant again but I did. I just couldn't handle being a single mom with three kids to look after. It's hard especially when their father wants nothing to with you or the kids.

I beeped the horn at the lady in front of me. It was a green light and she was still sitting in the same darn spot. She stuck up her middle finger at me. I put my car in park and got out of my car. I knocked on her window and she rolled it down. 

"What?" She yelled.

"I honestly don't know who you giving the finger to? But I know well that it wasn't me! You're just sitting here like a lump on the log while there's a green light!" I yelled at her.

"Get somewhere you low down dirty hoe!" She yelled back at me.

I grabbed her hair and slammed her head off her steering wheel. "You've got the wrong one!" I then walked away and got into my car. I swerved around the lady and started driving home.

I had just finished pumping milk for Destiny. I had to go record a song in the studio so I called my Mom to come and watch Imani, Chloe, and Destiny while I went to recording studio. I heard the doorbell and I raced to go get it. Only to find out that it wasn't my Mom.

"Oh, so look who decided to show up", I said looking at Drake.

"Mommy, who is it?" Imani said from the top of the stairs.

"Nobody, Imani! You and Chloe go back and play!" I yelled.

I then heard feet running down the stairs. "See look what you did, deciding to show up."

"Daddy!" Chloe yelled running to Drake.

"Hey, Chloe and Mani. Have you both been good for mommy?" He asked them.

"No", I muttered.

"Yes, Daddy", They lied.

I then heard Destiny crying. I walked away from the girls and Drake and went to go see what was wrong with Destiny. I saw her laying in her crib kicking her arms and legs as she cried. I picked her up and started rocking her but she didn't stop. So, I grabbed her and pulled my shirt and bra down and put her mouth to my boob and fed her.

After Destiny went to sleep I walked into the living room with Destiny and sat down on the couch. Drake came and held money in my face. "What's this for?"

"For you and the girls", Drake said looking at me.

"Now, you want to be in their life. I bet you didn't think about that when you left me when I told you we were having another baby. Now were you?" I said.

"C'mon, Nicki. Don't start with me. Just take the money. I want you and the girls to be happy. I know your gut is probably telling you not to take it because you hate me but your heart is telling you to take it because you still love me", Drake said before leaning down and kissing me.

"Uh-uh! I know you ain't just come up in here kissing all on her like that! What in the world? Who is you?" The girl I beat up in the car earlier said. "Wait! You that girl that slammed my face onto my steering wheel and then left!"

"My name's Onika but everybody calls me Nicki and I'm Drake's baby mama", I said.

"You ain't tell me you had no baby mama! Lets go! Right now!" She yelled.

"Shut up, Shaquela! You get on my nerves!" Drake yelled at the girl who was supposedly Shaquela (pronounced Sha-kwee-la). "Bye, Nicki."

I couldn't believe that he just came up in here sweet talking to me and kissing all over me when he had her in the car that whole time. And then she just walk into my house like that. I bet you it won't happen again but for now, I've got mysef and three kids to worry about. Not Drake because the last time I checked I was the only one raising these kids.
