Nicki

I was up and was dressed in a long t-shirt dress with my hello kitty slides on. Melanie was now 7.5 pounds and was able to come home. Meek had dressed her in her daddy's princess onesie and put her in her infant car seat.

"Gotta get used to carrying this around" he says. I laugh as we walk out to the car. I sit in the back as he drives us home.

My mom and Ms. Kathy were there with Papi and Omelly. Our parents wanted to help us out with the baby and help me get used to having to take care of her.

"Awe she is so cute" Kathy says. I smile.

"Here baby" Meek says giving me her diaper bag. I take it.

"Nicki how do you feel?" My mom asks sitting next to me.

"I feel okay" I say. "Alittle tired".

"You gone be feeling like that a lot " Kathy says making me laugh. I pick up Melanie putting her in my arms. She was up and she had this pacifier in her mouth.

"You know your son has her birth certificate framed?" I asked Kathy. She laughed.

"Your pictures came in too. Y'all were so cute" she says. "Now when little Mel gets to growing then y'all can take cute family portraits" she says.

"You trying to rush through all the cute moments" Meek said making everyone laugh.

"Meek get her. I gotta start making milk" I say. He comes and holds her.

"The way Meek might spoil her she is going to be a major daddy's girl" Omelly says.

"She will love her mama as much as she loves me" Meek says. I smile at him.

"I love Nicki" Papi says. I laugh and go to hug him.

"I love you too Papi" I say. After making my milk I gave it to Meek to feed her.

"Baby go ahead and get some sleep. We got her" he says.

"Are y'all sure?" I ask.

"Yes Nika" my mama says.

"Okay" I say. I give Melanie and Meek a kiss before going up to take a nap.

Meek

I sat downstairs and got to know my daughter more.

"Papi you think you're going to be a good big brother?" I ask.

"Yeah. I'll punch a bull" he says. I chuckle.

"Always look out for your little sister" Omelly says.

"She is so adorable" Carol says looking at her sleep.

"Meek you're not sleepy?" My mama asks me.

"No" I say as we walk to put Mel into her crib.

"This room is so cute" Carol says walking in moments later. "Food should be done soon" she says.

"Aight" I say putting her blanket over her. Nicki then walks inside.

"Is she sleep?" She asks quietly.

"Yeah" we all say. She comes and looks at her.

"Mama are you cooking?" She asks.

"Yes. It's almost done"

"Okay" Nicki says closing the shades in the room and turning on her lamp. "Meek can I talk to you for a minute?" She asks me. I follow her into the bedroom.
