The rain beat against the rooftop harshly as the clouds moved rapidly across the sky. The faint smells of alcohol floated through the air as slow tunes of Anita Baker sounded off. Nicki laid on the couch filled with emotions. She was still shocked and didn't know the explanation behind Safaree not knowing they made up. She was mind blown that he wasn't even lying to her too. She sat here trying to think of a reason that made sense but couldn't come up with nothing. Safaree slowly walked in the door with takeout from Panda Express. Nicki looked at him, as she took the last sip of Ginger Ale that was left in her cup.
"So, you’re back." She said looking at him.
"I told you I was coming back." Safaree said chewing on a piece of eggroll he was carrying in his hand.
"Safaree, we need to talk."
"Can it wait? I want to put Alli down first."
"She isn’t here. I sent her with Jelani. He dropped pass while you was out."
"Oh.... Well talk." Safaree said sitting down. He opened his bag and instantly Nicki began to gag.
"What's in there?" She said getting up as fast as she could with her brace on.
"Orange Chicken, Shrimp Fried Rice, and Three Eggrolls."
"That.... Shit... Stink!!!" Nicki said as she gagged again. Safaree laughed as he stood up, and walked up on her.
"No it doesn't."
"Safaree... Back up." She said holding her stomach.
"N..." Before Safaree knew it Nicki threw up all on his shirt.
"WHAT THE FUCK!?!?!" He yelled. Nicki just continued to throw up. Safaree grabbed her and pulled her to the sink. He ripped his shirt off, and held her hair..... This was about to be a revelation of a lot of things.
Three Hours Later
Safaree and Nicki were sitting on the couch watching re runs of "Good Times". They seemed like everything was cool, and was acting like nothing had happened. Nicki's mind was racing all over the place as she spoke.
"Can we talk now?" Safaree looked at her, and grabbed the remote.
"Go ahead." He said turning the television down.
"I.... I... I remember that night like it was real. We made up, and laid in that hospital bed together..... I remember it. But you were saying that you don't.... Why don't you remember it?"
"I don't know."
"What you mean? Faree.... It felt so..."
"Faree?" He said looking at her.
"Yes Faree."
"Wow..."
"What?" Nicki said looking at him curiously.
"You haven't called me that in a while. But continue."
"Where do we go from here? I mean I thought we made up but you say we haven't. Making me believe that I've lost it."
"Lost what Onika?"
"Us... You... Like this is what I want. I need you. I have been trying to tell you this forever. I know you left me, and I haven't been the same since. I understand that it will be hard for us, but I'm ready to take that chance. I don’t give a damn what I gotta do.... I want us back Faree. I love you with everything in me... My heart, my soul, My Mind.... All of it. I don't need anyone as long as I got you." Nicki said just before she started throwing up again.
She got up, and hopped to the bathroom as quick as she could. Safaree sat there on the couch, think of everything that she just said..... He was tired of fighting this. He knew he felt the same way she did. He was ready to make it work no matter what. The phone ringing broke into his thoughts.
"Can... You.... Get... That!?" Nicki yelled as he heard her vomit hit the toilet.
"Sure..." Safaree reached over and picked up the phone.
"Hello?" He said.
"Hello, this is Nancy from Queens General Women's Clinic."
"Um... Yes?"
"Is Ms. Maraj available?"
"No she isn't."
"I have been trying to reach her for the past week, and a half. This must be the man that came with her to the clinic."
"Um... Yes." Safaree said. He knew it wasn't him that went but wanted to know what the call was about.
"You being with her when she took the test, I think it's good that you deliver the news to her." Safaree was on edge.
"Yes Ma'am...."
"Tell her it came back positive. She is PREGNANT!!!! Congrats to you two..."
"WHAT!?!?" Safaree dropped the phone, and stormed to the bathroom.
"The Women's Clinic just called..... You pregnant." He said bluntly. Nicki just looked at him as her skin tone went a little pale. Looking at her you would think she had seen a ghost. She slowly fainted out and Nakia took over. The war was about to start, and the bulls eye was in on Safaree.....
