You Saved Me: An Omeeka Story

Chapter 22

Nicki
As I looked through Meek's text messages with his mom tears filled my eyes.
*Text Convo*
Mom- You don't need to be with that crazy girl.
Meek- Come on now. She's gotten better and changed.
Mom- she needs to be put in a mental institution. That's what
Meek- I have to admit she did have problems. But like I said she got better and changed.
Meek- and she's pregnant with my twins and I love her to death. She's a wonderful person. I don't know why you feel this way about her.
Meek- and didn't you just check up on her in the hospital?
Mom- I did. I wanted her to lose those babies so then you could breakup with that girl. You act like you don't want them anyways. You just told me you weren't ready and could deal with it.
Meek- well I had time to think things through. I love her and my babies and if you can't respect that then you don't have to be in our lives.
Mom- Meek the girl tried to kill herself! At that moment I knew she needed to be put in a physic ward. She is crazy Meek and I don't want her around my grandson.
Meek- Ma. You don't get she's apart of me... she's carrying my children that we made TOGETHER. I love her and I'm sorry you can't except that.
*Text convo ended*
I instantly felt a lot of emotions. I cried but was angry, I felt bad about myself, and I felt that I wasn't good enough for anyone all at the same time. I went to the kitchen and Meek had a soft look on his face as he walked to me.
"Baby what's wrong with you? What happened?" He asked as I walked into my mothers arms.
"All this stress isn't good for you or the babies. Calm down." My mom said rubbing my back.
"Baby-" I got out of my mother's grip and slapped Meek across his face.
"You fucking idiot! I hate you!" I yelled hitting his chest as my mom held me back. I saw Papi standing on the stairs and he cried. My mom went to the staircase and quickly picked him up and took him back upstairs. I knew he saw us fighting.
"Yo what the fuck did I do?!" He asked and I rolled my eyes and tapped my foot.
"Oh I don't know? Why don't you ask your mother?! You really had doubts about our babies?! Really?!" He sighed and grabbed me into his arms.
"I love you and the babies. I don't know what's wrong with her but... all that matters is that I love you and our children." He said.
Meek
She looked up into my eyes and hit her forehead with the palm of her hand.
"I'm so stupid and vulnerable. I should've known." She said and I screwed my face up.
"Baby no. She's crazy if she think I'm gonna listen to her. Because in a few years, I see us married and on the second... or maybe third pregnancy." I said and she giggled and wiped her tears.
"I love you Onika. Also... I think our son saw this." I said and she sighed. I rubbed my cheek still feeling a stinging sensation from when she slapped me.
"I'm so sorry baby." She said noticing me rubbing my cheek. She pecked my cheek and got an ice pack out the freezer.
"I'm glad we keep them in there for Papi cause I can use them for when you hit me." She had a sad look on her face. She wrapped the ice pack in a paper towel and placed it on my cheek. She looked into my eyes and then looked down.
"You know sometimes... I lay in bed and just think. How could you be with someone like me? And yet love me?" She said and I took the ice pack off my cheek and grabbed her hands.
"To answer those questions. It's because I've never felt this much love towards someone since my son was born. I've never been so happy in my life until I started seeing you at my job everyday. Then when you first came to stay with me. Now look where we stand. You're pregnant and we're happy. I have to admit we could work on somethings but other than that...I love you so much." I said and she just stared at me and then hugged me.
"I love you too... well uh, we have to talk to our son." She said and I nodded. She sighed and we both walked up to his room. Nicki knocked on the door and walked in.
"Hey..." she said and Papi ran to me. I picked him up and he laid his head on my shoulder.
"Why did you hit daddy! Hitting isn't nice!" He said and Nicki looked shocked because he never yelled like this or was upset with her this bad before.
"When mommy hit daddy it was an accident. You are right, it isn't nice to hit. I'll never do it again." She said and looked at me.
"Just like I'll never hit mommy." I said and Papi looked at us.
"Promise?" He asked.
"Promise." Nicki and I both said in sync. He reached for Nicki and she hugged him.
"I love you Rihmeek." Nicki said.
"I love you too mommy." He said and I kissed Nicki's forehead.
"Alright Nic, put him down. You're forgetting you're pregnant... with twins." I said as she put Papi down.
"I am not forgetting anything." She said and Papi touched her stomach.
"Your belly is big mommy." He said I laughed and Nicki pushed me and I tried to stop laughing but it didn't work.
"There's babies in there." She said pouting.
"Nika! Meek! Foods ready!" I heard Carol call from downstairs.
"Come on Pap." I said and we all walked downstairs. Carol sat our plates down on the table. While Papi ran into the living room, Carol went upstairs. Nicki and I were alone at the table and I loved it. I watched her eat and I just admired every feature of her face.
"Meek you're creepy as hell right now. Can you please eat." Nicki said giggling as she held her stomach.
"You getting down on that food." I said looking at Nicki eat and she mean mugged me.
"I'm pregnantttt. Don't play with me." She said and I threw my hands up in surrender.
"Ight. Remember Thembi is coming to see you tomorrow." She started smiling.
"Meek... what if she doesn't like me. What if she doesn't like me? What if she's upset with me?" She said.
"Baby don't do that. She missed you and can't wait to see you." I said and she walked over to me and sat in my lap.
"I love y'all." I said looking at Nicki and holding her stomach.
"We love you too."
