This thing we call love (ONIKAFAREE)

chapter 49: Watch Out

(2 DAY'S LATER, 7 AM, NICKI'S POV)

When I woke up, I went to Alex's room. He was standing in his crib, holding onto the rail. I got him out, changed his diaper, and then we went down to the kitchen. I sat him in his highchair.

"Safaree!" I yell, and he comes down seconds later. "Can you get the twins while I heat up their bottles? And wake Makalah up." I instruct.

He goes back up and I get Cheerios from the shelf. "Okay..lets try these." I say, pouring some on Alex's highchair table thing. He tries one, and throws another on the ground.

"No..they go in your mouth. Like this." I smile and put one in my mouth. He laughs and eats more. I get up and put some milk in a sippy cup. I hand it to him and he pushes it over. "You like pushing stuff, huh?"

"Coming through!!" Safaree yells and walks in with one of the babies. Makalah follows with the other. He takes the bottles out of the microwave and sits down. I get up and put waffles in the toaster for Makalah.

"I need to go to the store later...We need alot of new stuff. And we have lots of money to spend." I say.

(2 HOURS LATER)

 After I got the check in Safaree and I's bank account, I went to Wal-Mart with Alex. "Up momma!" He says, holding his arms up. I can't believe he's already calling me momma. He never really had a mom, so I thought he would just be saying da-da.

I picked him up and sat him in the front of the cart, and he put his legs through the leg holes. "Can you hold my list?" I ask in a baby voice, putting the note paper in his hands.

He rips off an edge and tries to eat it. I took it away. "Okay, you gotta learn how to hold stuff." I laugh.

I got grapes, apples, strawberries, carrots, and milk. Then we got diapers, baby food, a new stroller and toys for Alex. "Alright. Is that it?" I ask myself. I check out, and we leave. 

(AT HOME)

I unhooked Alex's car seat and helped him out. He walked up to the house and climbed the steps. "Safaree!" i call, grabbing all the bags. "Back here!" I hear.

I sat the bags down inside, took Alex's hand and walked to the backyard. "What the hell?"
There was a huge motorcycle standing in the yard.

Makalah was sitting on it, and Safaree was standing on the side. I ran over and pulled her off of it, then adjusted her dress.

"Moooom!!" She argued. "Go inside and check on your sisters. And take Alex." I pat Alex's back and he runs to take her hand. "Your taking it back." I demand, turning to Safaree. "No I'm not."

"Yes, you are! What if you get hurt?! You're so stupid! I told you not to get it but you never listen!" I yell. "Oh I'm stupid? And I'm the one who never listens?"

I rolled my eyes and walked away. "Never mind, I don't have time for this." He yanked me back around. "No! You're trying to pick a fight with me so how don't you have time Onika? I'm just trying to have fun!"

"Safaree you have 4 kids. I don't think you understand that! We're not 16 anymore. We can't go around doing dangerous shit anymore. We have to make sure those 4 little kids have 2 healthy parents to take care of them!!"

"You were always to scared to do anything fun!"

"I didn't have parents...I want those kids to have a mom and a dad that will always be there. Why can't you just understand that? It's not all about fun!" I yell. He held up a fist, and ran inside.

(SAFAREE'S POV)

She needs to lighten up. She's always worried about bad things happening, and she never has any fun. I went back outside where she was at. "Nicki I'm sorr-"

"Can you leave me alone please?"

"I just wanna make you happy."

"Then leave me alone."

I hugged her from behind and she pushed me off. "Please Faree." She whispers.

I walked toward my motorcycle and kicked it to the ground, then stomped on it. "Is that what you want? Are you happy now? Because that's all that matters...if Onika Tanya is happy!" I yell and walk into the house.

(NICKI'S POV)

I blinked back my tears and watched him walk off. I'm just trying to make sure he doesn't get hurt. I heard at least 3 crying voices so I ran in the house. Makalah was the main one bawling her eyes out.

"D-daddy's g-gone!" She cried. "He'll be back. I promise."

She shook her head. "H-he said he's never coming b-b-back!"

 (2 DAYS LATER)

Makalah was right. Safaree still isn't back, and I'm starting to get worried. I called him yesterday, and he didn't pick up. So i guess I should call now.

"Hello?" It wasn't Safaree's voice.

"W-who are you?"

"Watch out..."

He hung up.
