You Saved Me: An Omeeka Story

Chapter 19

Meek
Its seven o'clock in the morning and Nicki is sleeping, thank god. But she's not sleeping as peacefully as she usually does. It's hard seeing her in pain like this, it really hurts me. Nicki started to shift around a lot so I woke her up. I stroked her cheek gently with the back of my hand. Her eyes fluttered open.
"Good morning my love." I said kissing her cheeks then lips.
"Why are you so happy Rihmeek? This is a fucking mess. I HATE this, my stress levels are going up, my mother doesn't want to see me, my son in scared, and on top of that my baby's heart rate is so dangerously slow that my son or daughter couldn't survive." she yelled and started crying. I went to rub her back but she pushed my hands off her.
"Don't fucking touch me! This is too much right now. I need space and I want to be alone." I threw my hands up in surrender. I put my jacket on and grabbed my keys.
"I love you." I kissed her forehead and left because she was acting a fool.

Nicki
At the time I need Meek the most I run him out. So, I decided to call mom to see if she wanted to come see me.
C- Onika, how you feeling baby?
N- I'm holding in there.
C- The baby is going to be fine and so are you so don't worry.
N- Can you come back, I mean if your ready. But I need you so much mommy. I also need to see my son so come as quickly as possible.
C-I will baby. 10 minutes okay.
N- I love you.
C-I love you too honey.
*phone call ended*
A couple minutes later. My mom came in the room with Papi.
"That was quick." I said.
"We were already on our way. We were down the street when you called." She said and Papi looked scared still.
"Hi baby." I said looking at Papi. He waved at me and I sighed.
"Come give mommy a hug." I said holding my arms out and he walked to me slowly. My mom helped him up on the bed.
"You okay mommy? Is my sister okay?" He asked and I nodded.
"We are going to be fine. If you ever feel scared of something like this, or your worried about the baby and I, just pray about it okay? Or you can just ask grandma or me to pray with you." He nodded and laid his head on my chest.
"I love you mommy." He said and I smiled.
"I love you too honey." I said and he kissed my cheek. There was a knock at the door and then Meek came in. I looked at him with sorry eyes and back down at Papi and kissed his cheek again before lifting him off the bed.
"Wassup Ma. Hey son." He said sitting bags down on the table.
"Hey Papi, why don't you and grandma go to the vending machine for a second and you can get candy. How that sound?" He asked handing him three dollars and they left. Meek walked over to me and kissed me.
"Meek I'm sorry. I didn't mean to run you out." I said and he held my hand.
"You didn't run me out. I went to get some food so my babies can eat. But you did go off on me for no reason." He said and I looked down.
"Sorry about that. It's just that I'm feeling all these different emotions and its weighing down on me." I said and he nodded rubbing my belly.
"And I have something to tell you." He said bringing over the table I had that went over my bed so I could eat.
"Oh really? What's that?" I asked eating some fruit.
"Well I found one of your friends Thembi through one of my mans and I called her and talked to her while I was in the car and she's coming next Wednesday to see you." He said and I almost choked.
"Oh my go- Meek. Thank you so much! I love you baby." I said and he chuckled, coming over to me to kiss my lips.
"I love you too, that's why I did this for you." I smiled and kept eating.
"I have to get better. I just have to... I don't wanna stay here I wanna have a peaceful pregnancy." I sighed eating some of my waffle he got me.
"I understand that baby. But how you feeling right now? Do you feel uncomfortable or something?" He asked.
"I'm okay, but emotionally I'm honestly not." I told him and he nodded.
"I understand with everything going on but..." he said and rubbed his head.
"Our son man. He's taking this real hard." He told me and I nodded looking down.
"But he's a strong young man... You have a ultrasound in thirty minutes. They told me this morning. So I brought you a shirt and sweatpants from home." He told me and I nodded.
"Uh Meek. I don't want you to go with me. Don't take it the wrong way, but if I find out some bad news I don't want everyone hugging on me. I wanna be alone for a minute to take things in." I said and he nodded rubbing his head.
"Alright. But when it's over and you come back, tell me everything." He said and I nodded.

"Okay Mrs. Maraj everything looks fine." The doctor said looking at the screen and I sighed in relief.
"Yep. You'll be expecting you're little ones in early November." She said and I got confused. She turned the machine off and wrote down on her clipboard.
"Your twelve weeks and two days. You have two healthy babies. Let me just wipe off your stomach and your free to leave." She said.
"Wait, did you say two babies?" I asked and she nodded with a smile.
"You didn't know?" She asked wiping my stomach down then I pulled my shirt down.
"No I did not. This is a lot for me." I said giggling.
"The more the merrier. Congratulations." She said and I smiled.
"Thank you. You have a nice day." I said standing up and leaving the room.
When I got back, I signed my release papers and sat next to Meek who was on his phone.
"Baby. I have some news for you." I said taking his phone and he sighed and rubbed his head.
"Meek were uhh.... we're expecting..."
