Sin City

Nicki POV

"How you feeling momma you think you can make it" Gloria says as I nodded. I woke up this morning feeling a little bit better. The cramping come and go but I am now three centimeters and my water still hasn't broken. It's like everyday I contract. I was two yesterday and one the day before so let's hope the contractions stay in this order and the baby not force anymore on me today.

"Yeah I'm okay, could you grab my dress. We need to head on down to the chu-church" I say grabbing the sides of my stomach. "Jesus baby girl" I sighed out. "What's wrong" Gloria asks walking over to me with my dress as I breathed in and out deeply. "She just kicked the shit out of me I swear she's been giving me hell all week" I say becoming annoyed. "Alright let's go" I say going downstairs. Nas left early this morning so now I need to get my ass to the church so I won't be late getting my makeup and hair done.

Stopping by the kitchen I got my breakfast sandwich Nas made me and warmed it up before getting in the car they sent me. It took about 45 minutes to get there but once we arrived I was escorted to the dressing rooms me and my bridesmaids would be in. "There's the briiiiiiiide" my mother sings. "Hey ma" I say side hugging her as she placed her hand on my stomach. "Sheika and Neal are on their way" she says as I nodded. "My grandbaby still holding on huh" she says as I nodded. "Yes she is but I've been having back pains the entire ride here." I say walking over taking a seat.

"Awww sweetie, you still going to do the at home birth." She says as I nodded closing my eyes. "Yes we are, well trying to at least. I'm starting not to feel good." I say as she frowned. "Well let's pray" she says walking over to me grabbing my hands. Soon as she was about to pray there was a knock at the door. Stepping in was my pastor as I spazzed because I was so happy to see her again. "Pastor Lydiaaaaaa" I say as she smiled walking over to hug me. "Hello darling you ready" she says as I smiled.

"Yes I'm so happy the day is finally here" I say as she looked down at my big belly. "What about baby girl, is she ready" she says as I lifted my shirt back so she could see her moving and balling up. "Say yes ma'am pastor Lydia I'm ready for my mommy and daddy to get married so I can come" I cooed as she chuckled. "Honey I know you are, I know you are." She says as my mother came back over. "Before you came we were about to pray because she's been having back pains and not feeling good so let's go ahead and bind it in the name of Jesus" she says as I shook my head.

After the prayer the other ladies started to arrive and I was now getting my hair curled. "Nic where's your dress, I'm gone go ahead and
Iron out the wrinkles for you" Candi says. "On one of those racks over there, should be in a long white bag." I say as she nodded. Once my hair was curled Sheika did my makeup. "Ma is doobie giving me away or you" I say looking up at her from the fruit cup I was eating. "Me because he's in the wedding" she says as I remembered. "That's right I'm sorry, my mind all over the place dealing with how I'm feeling right now and the baby" I sighed before slurping up the remaining juice.

"Are you still in pain baby" she says as I nodded. "Yeah a little but I can handle it" I say scrolling through my phone reading over my vows to Nasir. Wow I really can't believe we're getting married today. I used to be so mean to him when I was younger, gave him a hard ass time with my attitude and everything but I guess all that changed when he gave me the D. Speaking of the D I've been in need BADLY and I haven't made love to him in so long, well it's been 3 weeks but that's still too long for the both of us. Nasira is really in the way.

"Onika" I heard snapping me out of my thoughts. "Huh, huh, huh" I say looking around trying to figure out who was calling me. "Yeah over here bit-girl" thembi says. "Oh girl what" I say as she held my dress up. "Over there daydreaming and what not, how this look" she says as I smiled. "It's perfect" I say as she nodded. "Alright ladies everyone can go ahead and get into your dresses, wedding starts in 30 minutes." Michelle says. For some reason she's been giving me this look ever since she got here but I'm not about to let her continue acting this way.

"Uh Michelle let me speak with you real quick." I say walking over to the corner as she sighed following. "Anything wrong, anything you need." She says as I shook my head. "No I'm fine sweetie you can't take these cramps away anyways but I just wanted to know is there anything ya know wrong with you" I fake smiled as she looked confused like she don't know what the hell I'm talking about. "You think there's something wrong with me, why you figured." She says as I sighed.

"Cut the bullshit Michelle you've been giving me the cold shoulder ever since you got here and I'm not gone deal with this attitude much longer so what's up" I say as my friends walked over. "What's going on over here ladies" Candi says as I gave her a look to pipe down some, nothings about to pop off I'm just talking. "Oh nothing the bride just had a few concerns that's all" Michelle says. "Tuh bitch please I don't believe you and just because you're a wedding planner don't mean you can't get yo ass beat so there better not be a problem" Candi says as I tried to hold any facial expressions back.

"I was..." Michelle says as thembi cut her off. "Just leaving and tending to your job without giving my best friend any more problems" she says as Michelle just head nodded walking away. "Wow she was trying it, thanks baes" I say before walking over to my dress. "You know we got your back cookie and besides we peeped her attitude and was just talking about that 5 minutes before you even had a conversation with her." Justine says as I shook my head. "Well it's handled now one of y'all help my fat ass in this damn dress" I say hearing them smack their teeth.

Standing in the mirror I cried seeing how beautiful it was on me. It fitted perfectly thank god Nasira stayed in the oven a little longer even though she's over cooking. "Awww calm down sis your makeup is going to run" Sheika says as I fanned my eyes. "I know but I can't help it and besides when walking down that aisle to Nas I'm going to cry anyways." I say sitting down so they could help me with my shoes. "Awww, what would you do if you looked up and seen him not crying" Neal says as I just looked at him.

"Swear I'd turn around and try again but no I'm pretty sure he'll be crying Neal please" I say as he chuckled. "Here's the flowers" Michelle says pushing in a cart of everyone's set before handing me my bouquet. "Alright ladies let's get ready to get in to place for the lineup." She says before gathering everyone leaving me and my mother behind. "You know there's a lot of people out there waiting right" she says as I nodded. "I don't want you to get scared and pop Nasira out that's why I'm reminding you" she says as we both chuckled. "Wow petty, but I'm ready" I smiled as we waited till it was my time to get down the aisle.
