Chapter 6

Waking up I felt his soft cool breath on the nape of my neck. GOD, what did I do? I look over at the clock and see I've been sleep for an hour. SB should be home soon. He can't see Wayne. I got up and ran to the bathroom to barf up the contents in my stomach. Wayne walked in and held my hair back. The tears started to flow down my face.
"You have to leave." I said as strongly as I could.
"Onika, what are you talking about?"
"You need to leave. Faree will be home soon, he can't see you. You need to get your stuff so you can leave."
"Nicki I'm not going anywhere."
"You got what you want. We had sex now you can leave."
"Nicki that wasn't sex. I made love to you. I love you. You said you love me."
"What happened was a mistake. I think it's time for you to leave."
"I'm not going anywhere. So stop pushing me away." I tried standing up to brush my teeth but my legs just collapsed under me. I leaned over into the toilet and threw up some more. He just stared at me.
"Why are you just standing there? It's time for you to go." He looked at me shook his head and walked out. I was relived that he left. He needs to go. He doesn't belong here.
Walking back into my room I saw him sitting on my side of the bed with something in his hands. I rolled my eyes walking into my closet. I had a doctors appointment today. In about 45 minutes and he came and threw me off schedule. I threw on a simple OVO sweatshirt and leggings with a pair of red uggs. I walked out to see him still sitting there.
"I thought I told you to leave."
"Are you pregnant?" He asked me just above a whisper.
"What are you talking about?" I said walking closer to him seeing that he was holding my ultrasound picture.
"THIS!" He yelled. "Are you pregnant?"
"Why are you going threw my stuff?"
"So you are? You were just going to raise my kids and not tell me?"
"Who said they're yours? Who said you the only person I was fucking?"
"So you fucking other niggas? Who? That nigga Mario?" He yelled walking towards me." Gay Ass."
"GET THE HELL OUT OF MY HOUSE."
"Nicki, NO! Not until you tell me the truth."
"You want to truth. You got 5 minutes before to leave before I call the police. GET THE HELL OUT!" I yelled picking up his clothes and throwing them at him. He put the picture on my night stand got his stuff and walked out of my room. My house. And hopefully my life. I was about to walk out when I felt a sharp pain in my stomach. I sat on the bed crying silent tears. The pain was immense. I rubbed small circles trying to calm myself. After about 10 minutes my stomach stopped hurting. Walking out of my room I closed my door left SB a note telling him I left and went to my car.

I was sitting reading a book in the waiting room when someone came and sat next to me. Feeling uncomfortable I shifted in my seat.
"Nicki calm down. It's me." Wayne said taking off his hood.
"What the fuck are you doing here?" I harshly whispered.
"Supporting you. You ARE the mother of my child."
"Like I said, how you know you the only nigga I'm fucking?"
"Nicki, your not a whore. You don't just fuck to be fucking. So stop pushing me away."
"How do you know?"
"Onika, I'm not here to argue with you. I don't want to stress you or the baby out. Just let me support you. Okay?" I sighed giving in to him. He was right. He's the father of my children. I suppose I have to let him support us.
"Children." I said looking up from the magazine I was reading.
"As in more than one?" He asked confused. I wiggled 4 fingers.
"WE HAVING 4 KIDS?" He yelled excitedly standing over me.
"CALM DOWN WAYNE!" I said embarrassed at the staring bystanders. He sat back down.
"Sorry, I'm just happy."
"Onika." The nurse called walking from the back. I got up and followed the lady. Wayne was still sitting in the same position.
"Well, are you coming?"
"Yeah." He said jumping up from his seat. "I didn't know if you wanted me-"
"Wayne, calm down. I'm tired of fighting with you. You are the father you have the right to be here." We walked into the room and the nurse turned and was about to walk out when she called my name.
"Nika, good job." She whispered hugging me. I gave her a small smile. I needed that reassurance.
"The doctor will be in soon." She said closing the door. We sat in an awkward silence. This is the really weird. I'm use to being here by myself. Without any support this is weird for me.
"Nicki, I'm glad you let me come. I'm here to support you." I smiled at him in response. At this moment I just want to know how's my baby is doing?
"Hey Nicki." The doctor said walking in surprised to see Wayne next to me.
"Hey Dr. Tully. How are you?"
"I'm good. How are you?"
"I'm good." I said wondering when she was going to address the elephant in the room.
"So who is this Nicki?" She said looking at him, but talking to me.
"This is the father." I said giggling.
"Well nice to meet you daddy. How are you?"
"I'm good." He said nervously.
"Well lets take a look at those babies. Lay back on the table for me, and we can see what's going on." I did as she said. She lifted my shirt and felt around my stomach. Poking and prodding. A frown appeared on her face making me nervous.
"What's wrong?" I asked getting worried.
"Nicki, just lie back for me and don't move while I go get the ultrasound machine." Wayne moved his chair next to the table grabbing my hand. I was shaking. I was terrified and her not answering me made it even worse. He kissed my hand making me feel slightly better. She walked back in with the machine rolling behind her.
"Nicki, this may be a little cold just relax." I replied with a slight nod, shivering at the cool sensation the gel gave me.
"Nicki, have you been under a lot of stress lately?" She asked staring intently at the screen. When I didn't reply she looked at me shaking her head. Then looked back at the screen.
"Nicki, at our first appointment I told you how dangerous this pregnancy was going to be. With you being so small. I told you to keep the stress to a minimum. You are putting yourself and the babies in danger. You are extremely tiny to be four months and having quadruplets. The babies heart beats seem to have become weaker since the last time we saw each other. That's not good. Now I'm putting you on bed rest till our next appointment. I barely want you going outside unless you have to. Have dad here go buy groceries or something. All I want you to do is sit and eat and sleep. Be lazy. Clear your schedule."
She smiled trying to lighten what she jut said. But what she said hit me hard.
"Got me?" I still didn't speak. I was unable to.
"Yeah, we understand." Wayne said speaking up. She just smiled at him. She cleaned to gel off of my stomach and wrapped the machine up.
"Nicki, look at me." She said putting a finger under my chin turning my face towards her. "I didn't mean to drop all that on you, but it's getting dangerous. I want to see you make it to full term or somewhere close. I don't want to loose you. Now, please take the stress off. Do whatever you have to do. Let daddy here help you. You can't do it all Nicki. Please just take it easy." I just nodded wiping the tears that were slowly streaming down my face. She hugged me before walking out. I pulled my shirt down and hopped off of the table. I walked out of the room with him following silently behind me.
