Forever is Perfect

Chapter 16

A few days later..

Nicki POV

Drake and I were in the living room watching TV, and having a little make out session... But yeah.

Right before things got really heated, someone knocked on the door. I got up and fixed my ponytail before opening the door, I gasped as I examined Shareika's bloody face.

"Shareika!" I nearly screamed, trying to hold back tears.

"Is it that bad?" She asked tearing up.

"Uh.. Yeah. What the hell happened?" I asked grabbing my purse.

"He freaked out." she said, then began coughing hard into her hand.

I stared at her hand with widened eyes, "Rika... Get in the car."

She followed my stare and looked at the splats of blood on her hand.

"Drake?" I called as I stepped out into the light autumn breeze.

"Where y'all goi-" he came up and paused at the sight. "I'm coming." he grabbed his keys and picked Rika up in his arms.

I followed behind to the car and got in the backseat with her, I laid her head on my chest and wrapped my arms around her, "I promise he wont hurt you anymore."

"You said that last time.." she murmured.

That killed me a little on the inside, I pulled her tighter to keep my emotions from surfacing.

"Well.. I guess I misjudged last time. But this time I truly mean it." I replied softly, "I would take this pain anyday if it meant you would be ok. You're way too beautiful and sweet to be treated like this."

"Both of you are too beautiful for that kind of treatment." Drake said as he parked the car.

**FEW DAYS LATER**

I knocked on the door of Rika's room.

"Come in."

I opened it slowly and walked inside. She was already in her pajamas, I mean I was too but yeah...

"How ya feeling?" I asked, sitting on the edge of her bed.

"Better.. Thanks for letting me stay here." She smiled.

"Anytime. I'm just happy you and the babies are okay." I smiled back.

"Yeah me too." she rubbed her stomach.

I held my stomach, "Can I tell you something?"

"Of course Nic." she nodded, I noticed she was staring at my stomach. "I was wondering how long you were gonna try to hide it."

"Remember how worried I was that I didn't know Drake well enough and all?"

"Yeah, you were a wreck." she chuckled a little.

I rubbed my stomach, "I don't know.. Its like I feel 100% confident that he is the one. Like I can trust him and be with him." I took a deep breath, "this is gonna sound crazy but, I feel like the baby is tryna tell me something I don't know."

"Yeah that sounds insane. Especially because you're not that far along." she laughed, "I'm sure he's perfect and you're just overthinking it. Its probably just your imagination trying to put yourself in my position or something."

"Yeah, you're right." I nodded.

"Congradulations."

"Thanks.. You know yall the godmoms right?"

"Of course."

I sighed softly, "Ima go."

"Bye Nic. Thanks for letting me stay here." She smiled.

"No problem."
