Finally Home (Omeeka Adoption Story)

Chapter 17

*Day of the party*
Nicki
"It's okay baby. Calm down. Everything's gonna go just how we planned. Just relax." Meek said rubbing my leg as I watched Jelani talk to Kellise at one of the dessert tables.
"I just don't want it to go wrong. One little thing could ruin everything." I said and Meek gently kissed my lips.
"It's gonna be okay." He said looking in my eyes.
"Mommy come dance with me!" Cameron yelled over the music as she handed Kaylin to Meek. We both went over to the dance floor and danced with the girls. Meek held Kaylin as he swayed to the music as I spun Cameron around. We danced together the whole song until the song changed.
"Mom... dance with Meek." Cameron said to me as Meek looked at me smiling. He handed Kaylin back to Cameron and they went back to the table and sat down.
"You look beautiful tonight." He said making me blush.
"Thank you handsome." I said and he chuckled. I felt my phone buzz before I looked at it.
"The police is here."
Kellise
"D-dad. Can we talk... in the back room." I asked and he looked at me oddly before walking with me to the back. I hate this man, I thought as I walked to the room. He acts as if nothing he's done to me was wrong.
"What do you want to talk about?" He asked sitting down on the chair and I closed the door.
"Wait- before you speak. Why did you run off to your aunt? Huh?" He asked and I looked down.
"I wanted to see her." I said plainly. He got up and grabbed my neck.
"Did you tell her?" He asked and I shook my head.
"N-no I didn't. Let me g-"
"No. I like seeing you like this. It's sexy. You look just like your mother when she was your age." He said whispering in my ear.
"P-please." I said as he finally let me go.
"This is a tight little dress you got on. Why do you tease me so much?" He said rubbing on my tense body. He rubbed his print and I looked away.
"What? You don't remember what it feels like to have a real man inside of you?" He said unzipping his pants.
"Well, we can fix that then." He said as I stepped back.
"You scream and I'll break your fucking neck do you hear me?" He gritted and I nodded. He kissed my neck and I cried.
"Stop fucking crying. Stop it!" He said as I still cried. He slapped my wet cheek causing me to put my hand over my mouth to muffle my cries.
"PUT YOUR HANDS UP!" The police yelled bursting through the doors before my father could hurt me.
"You did this? You did this didn't you? I'm gonna get you." He said before they pushed him down, putting him in hand cuffs. The police told him his constitutional rights as they walked him out. Nicki and Meek ran to me quickly as I stared ahead.
"It's okay. We're right here. It's over now baby." She said rocking me.
"We got it handled. He'll never hurt you again." Meek said as I cried in my aunts chest.

"Hey, you got your clothes packed?" My aunt asked referring to the California trip, peeking her head into the room.
"Auntie... I don't think I can go anymore." I said as a look of disappointment came over her face.
"And why not?" She asked as she sat down on my bed.
"I- I just can't be around too much right now. I don't want to overwhelm myself... if you get what I mean"
I said and she sat down next to me.
"I'm not gonna make you go okay? It's your choice and if you don't go. Im trusting you enough to allow Aaron to stay here with you. I don't want you here alone." She said and I nodded.
"I'm sorry, I-I just can't handle it right now. I'm sorry, I'm so sorry." I said as she pulled me into her chest.
"No, no. It's okay baby. I absolutely get it. We all need a break at some point." She said and I nodded as she let me go.
"Can he come tonight?" I asked and she nodded.
"Of course. Now I'm gonna help the girls pack. Call me if you need anything." She said before leaving. I picked up my phone and texted Aaron.
"Can you come over? I need you right now baby."
Aaron
I knocked on the door to Kellise's house frantically. After a couple seconds Nicki opened the door with a gentle smile.
"Hey. How is she?" I asked walking in and she shook her head.
"She's going through a really tough time. But I need you to do something for me." She said and sighed.
"Anything." I said sitting down on the couch so we could talk.
"We're going on vacation and Kellise decided not to go because she not feeling well emotionally. So I need you to stay here with her for a week. She really needs you." She said and I nodded.
"Of course I'll stay here with her. She actually told me already. Is she still up or is she sleeping?" I asked.
"She's up. It may be hard for her to sleep this week though." Nicki said as we walked upstairs. I went into Kellise's room and dropped my bags on the floor before  I picked her up and held her in my arms.
"Baby. How you feeling? Hmm?" I asked and she didn't say a word. I gently pressed my lips against hers and pulled away slowly. I sat her down on the bed and sat next to her.
"Did you eat enough today? Did you drink enough water?" I asked and she shrugged.
"Baby. I just wanna lay down...help me sleep." She said and I nodded.
"Let me go change into my night clothes and then we can cuddle. How does that sound?" I asked and she nodded.
"Gimme kiss." I said and she pecked my lips. I changed into my basketball shorts and t shirt.
"Do you need anything before we lay down?" I asked and she shook her head no. I turned the light off and laid down with her, pulling her into me closely.
"I promise I'll never let anyone get in between us. Ever. I'll never let anyone hurt you. And I'll always love you more than anything." I said kissing her cheek and she cuddled into me more.
"I love you baby." She said and I kissed her lips.
"I love you more." I said and caressed her body until she fell asleep.
