Hi, I'm Nicki. I just turned 25 in December and I have a 11 month old daughter named Raniya Raelyn Williams. Her father & I stopped dating when I was 3 months pregnant and the reason was because after I told him to stop selling drugs, he kept on and that led to him getting arrested. He was in jail for 6 months and came back. Ever since then, we've been co-parenting. While he was in jail, I met this guy and we started dating when Raniya was 3 weeks old.
"Babe, I'm going to drop Raniya off at her dads.", I said to my boyfriend.
"Alright, see you when you get back.", Michael said and I nodded.

He pecked my lips and Raniya poked his nose.
"That's his nose. Where's yours?", I asked.
She pointed to her nose and I smiled, nodding.
"That's right baby. Love you Mike."
"Love you too."
Walking out the door, my phone started ringing and I answered.
"Hello?"
"Where you at?", Meek asked.
"Hello to you too. I just walked out the house."
"Oh aight. See you when you get here.", he said and hung up.
"Your daddy is a butthole Niya."
I strapped her in, got in the car, and drove to her dads. Pulling up, I saw his horse sized dog outside and I shook my head.
"Meek!", I yelled.
"What?!", he yelled walking out.
I pointed to the dog and he mean mugged me.
"He not even doing anything to you yo. Come on."
I stood up against the car and he threw his head back and let the dog go in the house.
"Thank you!"
I took Raniya out her seat and Meek leaned up against the car.
"You should stay here for a little bit.", he said.
"Ha, you wish. Your daughter will be in my place for that."
"She wants her mommy to stay with her for a little bit."
I rolled my eyes and handed her to him.
"Come on Nic. Lets just sit down and catch up on things."
"Michael doesn't even like me being around you."
"Michael can get shot. Come on."
I took her bag out the car and followed behind him, into the house.
"You decorated. Looks nice."
"Thanks. Na did it."
I shook my head, laughing and so did he. We went in the living room and he stood Niya on his legs.
"So, what you been up to?", he asked.
"Working and taking care of that bad butt right there.", I said pointing to Niya.
"My baby isn't bad. Tell mommy you're not bad."
Niya started playing with his chain and I smiled.
"When you gone leave punk ass and let me take care of you?"
"When he stops making me happy."
He nodded and started with Niya.
"Where's the bathroom?", I asked.
"Down the hall, last one to the right.", he said and I nodded.
I started walking down the hall then I saw a bedroom door that was open. Walking in, I saw that he had frames around the pictures of either us or Raniya. I went over to the frame that had the picture of Raniya when she was first born and smiled.
"I still have hope for us Nic.", I heard Meek say.
I turned around and he started walking towards me.
"I know that I fucked up in my past but I'm a different man now. Give me another chance, please?"
I looked down and sighed and held his hands.
"Meek, I know that you've changed but I'm happy where I'm at now. I love you but I just can't do that again."
He sighed and nodded.
"Answer this for me. If you say you love him, why you always coming to me when y'all going through something? I know you better than anyone and you would've went to somebody's else's house."
I was left speechless. I didn't know what to say.
"I'm always going to be here Onika. I'm never going to leave you and you know that."

"Hey baby.", Michael said.
"Hey, what you been up to?", I asked walking in.
"Nothing really. How long is Niya staying at her dads?"
"A week or two."
I plopped down on the bed and he started kissing my neck.
"Not now Michael. I'm tired."
"All you've done all day was take Niya to her dads. You fuck him or something?"
"No Michael. I didn't fuck him. Maybe I should've.", I mumbled the last part.
"Aight, chill out."
I rolled my eyes and got under the covers and dozed off to sleep.

"You know daddy misses mommy? I wish I didn't do her wrong and that I actually listened to her. Your mommy is my favorite person in the world."
Niya started frowning and I kissed her nose.
"You'll always be my other favorite. Nobody will ever take y'alls place."
She started rubbing her eye and I started patting her back.
"Take your nap mama."
She started gripping my shirt which means that she was falling asleep so I started walking up the stairs. Trying to lay her down gently on the bed, her grip on my shit got tighter and I shook my head, lightly laughing.
"Looks like you want to sleep on daddy's chest."
I laid down then laid her on my chest and her grip loosened up.
"Daddy's little princess. If only I could get my queen back.", I said and sighed.
