You Saved Me: An Omeeka Story

Chapter 29

Meek (2 weeks later)
"Babe. Come help with dinner my feet are starting to hurt a bit." Nicki said and I walked from the living room into the kitchen.
"What do you need me to do?" I asked washing my hands.
"Watch what's on the stove and stir it occasionally." She said sitting down at the island.
"Baby you should go sit on the couch and put your feet up." I said and she shook her head.
"I'd rather be with you right now." She said and I walked to her and kissed her lips.
"I love you." I said and she blushed.
"I love you too." She said rubbing her stomach, which has grown a lot.
"Can you make some brownies for me please? The ones you make taste the best." She said giving me an innocent smile.
"Yes I will... tomorrow. You ate enough sweets today. You had two whole bags of candy today babe." I said and she pouted.
"Meeeek. The bags were small." She whined and I chuckled, rolling my eyes.
"Well my babies are small and they don't need all that sugar you're giving to them." I said and Nicki rolled her eyes because she knew I was right.
Once the food was done we ate together as a family. After that, we put Papi to bed before spending time alone with each other.
"Nicki I wanna say thank you for what you've done." I said stroking her hair while we laid in bed together.
"Baby you don't have to..." she said looking up at me, giving me a warm smile.
"No baby. I do. You're such a strong woman, carrying two babies at once while holding me down worrying about my well being when you should've been worrying about yourself because you're going through a high risk pregnancy. You've done so much for me within this month, which was difficult for the both of us and I thank you for that. You're the definition of a real woman." I said and she smiled.
"Babe..." She said getting choked up. I held her close to me and kissed her forehead.
"If you don't have words, you don't have to say anything. It's okay. I already know where your hearts at." I said and she looked up and kissed me passionately.
"I love you. So, so much." She said laying back into me.
"I love you too. Now get some sleep." I said and she soon fell asleep on my chest.

"Oww." Nicki whispered as she rubbed her stomach. I looked over at her on her phone as she sat at the kitchen table.
"Baby? You alright?" I asked and she nodded.
"Yeah I'm just having stomach pains. I think I'm gonna throw up." She said walking to the bathroom. I followed her and she immediately bent over the toilet and started throwing up. I rubbed her back and held her hair up. She finished throwing up and rubbed her lower stomach.
"Baby I think you should go lay down." I said and she nodded.
"Can you carry me?" She asked and I chuckled.
"Yeah I will. But in the next couple months I'm not gonna be able to carry you anymore babe." I said and she nodded. I took her upstairs into our bedroom and laid her down.
"You need anything?" I asked rubbing smooth circles on her belly.
"No. I just need to lay down that's all. I wish I could just have our babies and not be pregnant. Because this random sickness is so annoying." She said and I leaned down towards her belly.
"Hey, I need ya'll to stop making mommy sick okay? Okay, daddy loves you both so much. Now I need y'all to take a nap and just chill." I said and kissed her belly as she smiled.
"Thanks for that." She said giggling.
"You need me to lay with you?" I asked and she nodded. I got behind her and held her stomach gently.
"I love you so much." I whispered in her ear before softly kissing her cheek.
"I love you too." She said
"Baby I think I should call my doctor." She blurted out.
"Why? Do you feel like somethings wrong?" She nodded slowly.
"Meek I don't think I'm supposed to get this sick. They say morning sickness is normal but I get sick during the day too sometimes. And it's pretty often. You know we had complications a while back and I'm just so scared that..."
"Onika. Listen to me. You're just stressing yourself out. I understand that you're scared. We're both scared, but I need you to be calm okay? The stress isn't good for you or the babies. It's doing you no good to worry." I said and she nodded.
"I just want everything t-to be okay." She said with a stray tear running down her cheek.
"And it will be.  I know how you feel, I'm scared too. The love of my life is pregnant with twins, I want everything to go smoothly just as much as you do. But don't cry okay?" I asked and she nodded.
"Hold me closer to you." She said just above a whisper and I pulled her in as far as I could and kissed her head.
"Go to sleep." I said quietly to her and she fell asleep in a matter of minutes. I got up and went into an empty room.
M- Hey ma
K- Hey son. Something on your mind?
M- yeah. I don't feel like I'm doing enough for Nicki.
K- what do you mean?
M- She's scared about the pregnancy and I don't know what to do because I'm scared too. How am I gonna be strong for her if I'm not even strong myself. I don't even feel like a man right now.
K- Oh hush. You're the strongest man I know. Don't underestimate yourself because you're feeling this nervousness. We all get it, pregnancy is a scary, yet joyful time. In order to feel that joy you have to be strong enough to fight off the fear...
M-I know ma, but I'm not even strong enough to-
K- It's not about being strong individually. It's about being strong together, and getting through this together.
M-You're right ma. Thank you
K-No problem son. It's what I'm here for.
M-Alright. I'll talk to you later. I love you.
K-alright son. I love you too. Kiss my grand babies for me.
M-okay
I hung up the phone and went back to the room where Nicki was sleeping peacefully. I laid down with her and kissed her cheek.
"I love y'all so much." I whispered to her.
