**NICKI POV**

"I think you should take the kids out to the park tomorrow." Drake looked up the ceiling thoughtfully.

"Why would I do that? I don't even know the girl, I'll probably bring home the wrong kid." I snapped.

"Would you rather just stay in the house with them alone and be forced to entertain them?"

I shook my head, "No."

"Then my idea is good." He smirked.

"Ughhh fine." I gave in.

**THE NEXT DAY**

I figured I might as well at least show Skylar some attention at the park, still don't like her but whatever.

"First to come down the slide issssss... Matthew!!" He slid down and I scooped him into my arms before he hit the ground. "Next up isss... Skylarr!" She slid down and I started walking away as she hit the ground.

"I'm getting hungry." Matthew groaned.

"We've been here for an hour, wanna go home and have lunch?" I asked.

"Yeah"

"Skylar lets go." I said looking at her right as she got on the swing.

"One minute?" She asked.

"No, right now lets go!" I glared at her, she jumped off the swing and came over to us.

"Wait my jacket." I heard her say as I start putting Matthew in the car, his shoe fell off and under the car I bent down to get it.

I heard a loud screaming and I looked in the direction from where it came from. It was Skylar screaming, a man had grabbed her and was dragging her towards a car. She kicked and screamed, I looked back at Matthew and took a deep breath.

"You're safe." I kept his door open and ran over to help Skylar.

"Mommy help me!" Skylar cried. I didn't know what to do.

"She can't do anything." The man chuckled to Skylar.

I picked up a branch and dragged it across the ground, "If I were you, I'd give me back my daughter now before I'm forced to things that I don't want my daughter to see."

"Yeah right, I'm supposed to be scared right." He rolled his eyes. I wanted to hit him but I was too afraid of hurting Skylar. I knew he wouldn't put her down until she was in the car, I figured once she's in the car I can hurt him bad enough that he wouldn't be able to get up as I got Skylar out the car and fleed.

Finally we got to the car and before he could even close her in the branch clocked him in the neck. I hit him a few more times, he was bleeding a lot. I noticed the car start pulling off, I hadn't noticed someone else was in the car. The door was open, I jumped onto the trunk of the car. The driver began swerving the car hectically in an effort to shake me off. I made sure the door stayed open and told Skylar to climb out and come towards me.

"Trust me babygirl" I teared up a little at the fear of losing her. She climbed out and right before I could grab her, the car jerked and flew right out of my reach. I jumped after her, held her tightly and made it so I would break her fall.

My head and shoulders hit a truck, then we fell to the ground. My body hurt but I wanted to get Skylar home and to make sure Matthew was okay.

"You okay baby girl?" I whispered.

"Mhmm I just want to go home." She started crying softly.

"Its okay, you're safe now. I would never let anyone take you away." I kissed the top of her head and managed to stand up and began limping to the car.

"Matthew you okay?" I asked as I buckled Skylar into her seat.

"Yeah."

We drove home safely and had lunch then we all took a nap.

Later that night when I started undressing for bed, Drake had noticed the bruises I didn't know were there.

"Why you all bruised up?" He asked concerned.

"Its nothing really," I told him.

"What happened?"

"Just a mishap at the park."

"Elaborate."

"Long story short, some guys tried to take Skylar and I wouldn't let them. Skylar is unharmed, Thank God. I'm fine, one of the guys... not so much" I shrugged and laid in the bed. Drake smirked at me, "What?" I snapped.

"You do care about her huh?" He laid next to me.

"Good night" I rolled my eyes and turned off the light.

"You know its true." He taunted.

"I'm sleeping!"
