Dear Hazel Lo,

Mommy and daddy weren't always nice. We worked things out we gave each other advice. We kissed we loved we came back as one. We made a beautiful creation and we named her Hazel Lo. We smiled , we fought , we laughed, we cried but love kept us strong. At first we didn't know what to do it all happened so fast but we knew no matter what we were keeping you. Now your almost here and I cry every time I think of you. You haven't even taken your first breath and I'm already madly in love with you.

I'm gonna tell you right now life isn't easy. Every question you ask won't always get a yes or no response. Every guy you fall in love with won't always deserve your heart. Every argument you get into won't always be worth it. Everybody's advice won't always be right. People are gonna try to tell you what love should look like , feel like , be like but only you can know who's right for you. The person that makes you smile the brightest, laugh the loudest and cry the hardest is the right one. You can't have a relationship without any fights but you can make your relationship worth the fight .

When I first met your father I thought there were rules to love. I thought there was a such thing as a perfect man. Turns out nobody will think he's perfect but you and that's okay. Listening to "They" will always cause arguments. Listening to your heart and God will lead you the right way.

                         Love Mommy

    Nicki signed, and sealed the pink letter into the fold of the baby book and placed it on the table. She looked over at Meek who was passed out on the chair sleeping with his long legs hanging over the edge. He clutched a bear that wore a chain that read "LoLo". Papi was laid on the couch by the window seal.

The Nurse came creeping into the room with a smile on her face. "Hi Williams...how you feeling sweety?"

Nicki: "I'm good... I can't feel anything"

Nurse: "great that's exactly what we want you to feel... These guys finally getting some rest huh?"

She said pointing to Meek and Papi.

Nicki: "yes... They been up all day and all night"

Nurse: "well I'll bring some food in for you and some more blankets for the guys"

Nicki: "that'll be good.. Thank you"

Nurse: "no Problem at all.. The doctor says he's about an hour away, so I'll start contacting your family members"

Nicki adjusted herself in the bed and balled up a scratch piece of paper to toss at Meek's head. "Meek.. (She hissed)... Meek!"

He jumped up out of his sleep in a panic realizing where he was.

Meek: "WHAT HAPPEN??! What I miss??? The baby here?! "

Nicki: (giggling) "baby... Relax.. No"

Meek: "HOW long I was sleep for?!" (Breathing heavily)

Nicki: "maybe 15 minutes.."

Meek: "why you let me do that"(he said angrily) I ain't tryna miss my daughter being born"

Meek sat on the edge of the chair facing her and rubbing his eyes. He had on a grey sweat suit and some Dream Chasers slides on his feet. The large bags under his eyes made him look as if he hadn't slept in days.

Nicki: "you not going to miss it sitting right next to me..you need the sleep"

Meek: (standing up) "nah I'm good I don't sleep, how you feeling though"
