Nicki&thePips

Chapter 75

"I can't believe they did this . . . How the hell did they do this?" Nicki was sitting in the back of a limo with Garvin, Sophie and Chloe who had become a sort of personal assistant. "Oh my God. I am the worst mother on Earth! They went to London! And I didn't know until I woke up in the morning." She shook her head in frustration.

"To be fair Nicki you were exhausted after completing your last show." Chloe tried to calm her down.

"Chloe I didn't hire you to kiss my ass." Nicki snapped.

"Sorry . . . I wasn't trying to . . . It's just true." Chloe mumbled.

"Nicki you shouldn't beat yourself up about this. It's not your fault. The kids are far more brilliant than they let on." Sophie said in a soothing tone.

Nicki took a deep breath and nodded. "You're right Sophie. Thanks for that."

"But I just . . ." Chloe started then trailed off shaking her head.

"Where are they?!" Nicki yelled as she burst throught the doors at Greystone Institute for children with mental disorders.

"They're in the visitors' . . ." The receptionist didn't even have time to finish her sentence. Nicki and her small ontarrage stormed through to the visitors' room, accompanied by a stiff guard.

Nicki entered the room ready to yell at the pips to show just how disappointed she was in them. But as soon as they all spotted her they were out of their seats and crowding around her talking excitedly –all except for little Perrie who was in her own world as she sat and stared at the wall.

"Mom you're here to save us!" Roc Royal yelled as he attempted to climb onto Nicki.

"Yeah Mom we have to get Jesy out of here –and Princeton too." Prodigy said hugging her legs.

"Mom I missed you soo much!" Princeton said trying to take her hand.

"Mum I'm gonna live!" Leigh-Anne said. "I've got Jesy back and I'm never letting her out of my sight."

"Mummy are you real? Is that you?" Jesy was asking. She and Leigh were slower than the other kids and weren't actually grabbing at her.

It was about six a.m and they looked both exhausted and adorable to Nicki. She melted. "Aww babies. Mommy's here now. Everything is fine." She picked Princeton up off the floor and kissed him all over his face. "I missed you too Princey. How are you?" She asked.

"I'm good . . . I guess." Princeton said as he pressed his face to hers.

Nicki spotted Jesy and put Princeton down to lift her instead. "Aww baby. You've been gone for six days and you've managed to lose weight. What have they done to you?" She cooed as she kissed Jesy's cheek.

Jesy started feeling Nicki's face. "Are you real?" She asked.

"Jes you are messing with Mommy's makeup. What do you mean 'am I real?' Of course I am Jes." She was confused as to what was wrong with the little girl.

"I'm sorry Mum. Jesy's just having a hard time believing that she's really free. These horrid people had her locked in a white room! The poor thing!" Leigh-Anne said.

"Aww baby. I'm so sorry. But I'm here now. It'll all be fi –wait a minute! I am mad at four of you!" Nicki said. "Leigh-Anne, Perrie and Prodigy and Roc Royal! How dare you sneak out of the hotel and fly the private jet to another country! That is not okay! I wanna know what the hell y'all were thinking!" She yelled. She still had Jesy in her arms as Jesy pressed her nose to Nicki's face.
