Previously-
Meek
"It's not your fault. I'm sorry but I can't be with you anymore." She finally spoke and my heart dropped.

"Onika Tanya Maraj. Tell me you lying. What am I doing wrong?" I asked and she looked away.
"I love you so much. But I'm putting everyone in so much danger. It's my fault that my mother almost got shot. He's looking for me." She said and I sighed.
"You don't want to leave me your just afraid. Baby lets just go in the house and talk in my office and we'll handle this." I said and she nodded and we walked in the house to see Carol and Papi sleeping on the couch and the movie cars was playing. I saw Nicki faintly smile and we walked in the office and shut the door. I sat in my big chair and she sat on the couch.
"Why do you want to leave me?" I asked her and she looked down.
"You know I love you and our kids but I'm putting everyone in danger." She said and I walked to her.
"No your not. You see I'm trying hard to fix everything and it'll all be alright." I said and she laid her head on my chest.
"I'm scared Meek. I'm so scared, I don't know what to do." I continued to rub her back as I thought of something to say.
"I know baby. Everything is under control okay? I promise you I'll keep you and the baby safe okay not one thing will happen to anyone because y'all safe." I said and picked her up taking her to the room. I laid her down and I thought she needed some sleep so I left. I closed the door and ran into her mom.
"Is it a good time to go in?" She asked and I shook my head.
"I just left her alone because I think she need some rest and I can tell she doesn't want to be bothered because she's tired." I said and she nodded.
"Is she talking?" I nodded and Carol let out a sigh of relief.
"I miss how she-" Nicki walked out just as Carol was about to say something.
"Nika you hungry? I'll make you something real quick." She thought about it for a second and I looked at her.
"Yeah I'm hungry." She said and I smiled.
"Whatever you want I'll make." She said and Nicki was still thinking but Carol grabbed her hand and brought her downstairs. I went in Papi's room to check on him and he was up.
"I thought you was sleep lil man." I said sitting on his bed.
"What's wrong with mommy? She never talked to me... Daddy is she going to leave us? Don't let her leave." He said and I hugged him.
"She's not leaving. I promise." I said and let go of him and he laid back down.
"Okay, I want to see her. Tell her to come here." I went downstairs and got Nicki.
Nicki
"You need something baby boy?" I asked sitting on the side of his bed. But without saying a word he hugged me really tight.
"Be careful the baby is in there." I said giggling as I rubbed his back still hugging him.
"I love you and the baby." He said and I smiled and kissed his cheek.
"We love you too." I said and noticed Meek's nosey ass was standing in the doorway.
"Alright I want you to take your nap okay?" I said and he nodded laying down and I pulled the covers up on him.
"Babe get out the doorway so my baby can sleep." I said and he walked out and so did I then I shut the door. I was about to go back downstairs to where mother is at but Meek pulled me into a kiss. He deepened it an I put my hands around his neck.
"I'm in love you. You made me the better man/ father I am today. So thank you my love." He said hugging me and I pulled away.
"Uh, your welcome. But come eat with me baby." I said and he came downstairs with me. I sat down and my mom instantly came out with food and sat it in front of me.
"You want anything to drink?" She asked and I nodded.
"I want some-"
"Water." Meek said cutting me off my mom laughed.
"Meek hush. Baby you want some juice or something?" She asked and I nodded. I honestly wanted a Pepsi but all the caffeine isn't good for the baby. She got me some cranberry juice and I laughed because Meek was all salty.
"Let her have some juice. The glass is small." My mom said walking past Meek and he laughed.
"You need to drink some water." He said.
"The baby wanted some juice though Meek." I said giggling then eating my food. He reached over and rubbed my tiny bump.
"That's daddy's baby... not mommy's." He said and I slapped his hand away that was on my stomach.
"Stopppp." I dragged out, pouting my lips.
"Alright, alright I'm sorry." He said and I finished eating.
Meek
"Nicki get in the bed." I said because she's been looking out the window for the past 10 minutes. She locked the windows and closed the blinds. She got in bed next to me quickly.
I held her and rubbed her stomach until she fell asleep. Then soon I did as well.

It was almost three o'clock in the morning and I heard soft sniffles from the bathroom. I knew it was Nicki because she thinks Jamal is out trying to get her and she's just really been paranoid. I opened the door and she was sitting on the edge of the tub crying but when she saw me, she quickly wiped her tears.
"Im, I'm sorry baby." She said and I picked her up and put her back in the bed. She scooted away from me and curled up and started digging her fingernails into her skin and started scratching violently.
"I hate myself! Why am I so fucking stupid?" She said and I grabbed her hands to stop her from scratching. She looked in my eyes crying.
"Baby don't blame yourself for anything. You did nothing wrong." I said pulling her close to me. Her hands were shaking so I held them together. I tried to kiss her but she moved her face.
"Why do you let me make your life so miserable? Babe just let me handle this on my own." She said and I sighed.
"You make my life... So amazing, words can't explain my love for you. Your carrying my child and you always make me so happy. Your going through a hard time in your life right now, I could never make you go through this alone." I assured her.
"I'm sleeping in the guest room tonight. It's not you, I just want to be alone." She said and I nodded and kissed her forehead.
"I love you, try and get some sleep." I said.
In the morning
When I woke up I instantly thought about Nicki and went to check on her. I slowly opened the door and she was groaning in pain and holding her stomach.
"Baby you okay?" I asked and she looked at me and shook her head no.
"No my stomach hurts really bad. I can't take this." She said and I saw she was sweating so I took the covers off her and noticed she was bleeding.
"Baby we have to get you to the hospital." I said and picked her up.
