"where you going?" I asked Meek seeing him come in the room all dressed up. This was the first time seeing him since this morning and it was now 7:26 pm. He was sleeping in another room and I was in our room.

"To see the twins before visitation hours end." He said. He went to our closet.

"I thought that's where you went this morning?" I haven't seen my munchkins since last week when I was released. They were still at the hospital till the doctors were able to confirm they had a stable breathing technique and steady heart beat. I was put on bed rest due to some after effects from my emergency C-section.

"Something came up." I furrowed my eyebrows.

"Which is?"

"Mind your business." He snapped coming out the closet. Rihana started crying waking up from her sleep.

"Give me her." He took her from the bed but she just cried more. I sat up with my back on the head board and just stared. She tried to get out Meeks hold and was reaching for me.

"Mama!" Meek looked surprised but I wasn't she's been calling me this for a little over a week now but of course Meek wouldn't know he never bothered to stay home with us always went somewhere. I took her from him and she laid her head on my chest with her finger in her mouth whimpering lowly.

"She just said mama-"

"She's been saying it for a week now. You would have notice if you wasn't always out and about." I rocked her so she would go back to sleep.

"My fault." That's all he said before leaving and closing the door. All of this over a petty ass argument. I couldn't stress my body over him anymore. I was too young to be on bed rest babysitting a kid I didn't birth. I was too young to be worrying if my boyfriend was going to make it back home or not. I'm too young to be a mother matter of a fact.

I'm disgusted with myself. I sighed laying Rih down after seeing she fell back asleep.

"Well you should have kept your legs closed." Marie said after I explained to her what was going on.

"Marie shut up this isn't a joke she's being foreal." Candi said. We were all on a three way call. I needed to vent and does were the only ones I trusted and could easily talk to.

"I'm being foreal too. I agree your too young to be going through shit like this. You got niggas wanting you dead, your kids are in the hospital, and the person that's suppose to be with you is neglecting you and all of this over what? A man? It doesn't even feel right saying 'your kids' when I talk to you. Your not even legal to drink but here you are with what three kids now?"

"She didn't call us for that Marie so just shut up." Candi snapped but she kept going.

"But guess what shit happens. You chose that type of life you got what you wanted. You think it's cute to be popping out kids at age what 18, 19? It's not. But what's done is done. Maybe god did this for a reason. Maybe he gave you kids early for a reason. You have a good heart Nic and you shouldn't be stressing over a man that's not showing you the attention you desire." Her judging me made me even sadder.

"So I should leave him?" I asked.

"Do what's best for you. Take care of your kids, graduation highschool then work your way up to your college diploma then get your dream job. Prove all the people who was doubting you wrong." Candi said.

"Stop stressing your going to graduate in like two weeks and three days. Just relax. With a little prayer everything is going to be ok." Marie said. I knew what I was going to do.

"I'm going to call you guys back."

"Ok baby just don't do anything stupid. If you need anything hit one of our lines." Candi said. We said our byes and hung up. I went through my contact list and called the one I wanted. They answered.

"Can you do me a favor?"

I lit the last candle on the round decorated table. It was now 10:20 pm and I had already cooked a meal despite the stomach and back pain I was experiencing. I had Omelly come pick Rihana for the night and I decided to make Meek a dinner so we could talk like the mature people.

"Yeah...I'm still setting that shit up. Shits stressful....yeah they get out this week according to the- Aye Nioma let me you hit you up later. Bye" Meek stopped in his tracks and looked at me. He hung up his phone putting it in his pocket. He ran his hand down his phone.

"You shouldn't be out of bed." He said. I rolled my eyes and sat at the table.

"Just sit." I said gesturing to the sit across me.

"Where's Rih?"

"With Omelly."

"Why?" I sighed.

"Just sit down and listen to me. Don't talk just listen." I said with a bit of annoyance in my voice. He just nodded.

"I'm getting tired of this ignoring shit. Sure we're young, well I am, we still have to remember that we have not one but two responsibilities. The twins get out of the hospital soon how are we going to care for them when you don't talk to me, sleep in another room, leave early and don't come back? If I'm going to be the only parent actually caring for them tell me now I'll pack and leave with them." I said. He sighed.

"That shit you said still fucking with my head. And I was already fucking shit up before they got here and I'm obviously still fucking shit up. I got something I want to tell you but I'm scared." He said. Meek scared? This had to be serious.

"Tell me...I won't get mad." He gave me a 'You lying' face.

"It's better you tell me sooner because if it's bad and I find out later I'm going to fuck a lot of shit up."

"Nic I'm sorry. It was not my intentions but I'm a nigga and you know we haven't been having sec like that lately. But to cut the story short I went out with the guys last week to celebrate the kids birth and I got sloppy drunk and this chick came out of nowhere. Nic I cheated." Everything around me froze. I stared at him not even blinking.
