All Grown Up... (One shot)

*Okay you guys this is only a one shot. It will kinda go along with BTY but...IDK just don't tie this to the actual story. K? K! I hope you enjoy*

Zaria

I wish my mom would just get over it. It happened way before we were even born. Why do we have to suffer from what happened to her on Halloween 17 years ago in Los Angeles. We live in Atlanta now. Nobody wants to snatch us. This is lame. And Ethan's punk ass is still a suck up. "It's okay mommy. we'll stay home with you and hand out candy, like old times." The Fuck? Nigga speak for your self. I just wish I was a normal kid with regular ass parents. But no I'm stuck with Nicki Minaj, queen of rap and Safaree Samules, the jewelry king of Atlanta. Trick or treating with my babe would be so much fun.

Snuggle Bunny
So is your mom still saying no?

Chef Z
Yes. :(

Snuggle Bunny
Try your dad.

"Zaria come down here and get started on dinner." there she goes barking orders.

Rolling off my bed i throw on a loose fitting half top and some socks I head downstairs. My mom is sitting on the couch with my dad rubbing her stomach watching Child's Play. We make eye contact and I roll my eyes going into the kitchen. I begin making my stuffed Mediterranean chicken breast. I guess I'll put it over some wild rice and green beans on the side. I bet if I didn't feed her pregnant ass she give me what i wanted.

She Devil
You would want to stop slamming things in my kitchen.

Zaria
You could cook it yourself and let me go live my life and stop ruining it.

I hear foot steps rounding the corner, surprisingly it was my daddy.

"Why you gotta make her feel bad Zee?"

"Why does she have to be constantly over dramatic. Daddy make her let me go with Lena." I gave my best puppy dog eyes. He is still a sucker for them, if Daria was here we could double team him but she is on her way back from her basketball game.

"Baby girl don't start that, you know I'm not going against her on this. And where is the rest of your top?"

"Daddy but Drake don't even live here and we haven't even heard from him since like 5 years ago. She's just doing this because she doesn't like Lena."

"Hey that's where I draw the line. You know your mother doesn't have a problem with you and Lena's relationship. She constantly invites her places, so don't say that."

"Whatever daddy. You would take her side. Get out my kitchen, you are messing up the positive vibes in here.

Chef Z
That was a bust to babe. Mom must have kryptonite in her pussy bc he never goes against her.

Snuggle Bunny
I'll take two buckets. One for you and one for me. I'll bring it by after I'm done.

Chef Z
That's not what I cared about. I wanted to see you as a sexy Indian. ;)

Snuggle Bunny
Bye Zaria. I'll see you later. And make me a plate.

How she play me then want me to cook for her? Girls.

Daria

I am not staying in the house tonight. Me and the girls just won one of the biggest games we will have this season. And James and the other boys want to run a game tomorrow but invited  me to a party around the way from where we live. Which I don't know how they got invited because mostly celebrities lived where we live. I just hope it's not that bitch Blue party. Stuck up hoe.

Pulling up to the school I see my baby Celest sitting in front of the school steps where I left her before we left for the game. Hopping off the bus I fish for my keys at the bottom of my bag. Hitting the unlock button Celest beeped and came to life.

"Good game Samules."

"Thanks coach." Sliding onto the cool leather I insert the key and I'm off to the house.

Other Half
She still trippin?

Sissy Pooh
Yes. You almost here?

Other Half
Yea. 10 minutes. We gettin out this year, ion care what she say.

Sissy Pooh
Stop txtn while you drive. We'll talk when you get here.

Throwing my phone in my bag I focus on the winding road. I talked to dad before I left for my game and had him on the ropes. He has to let me go tonight. I'm already a social outcast at school, this will help me. Pulling up to the house I prepare myself for the battle. Walking into the house I drop my bag by the door and smell whatever Zaria is cooking. My stomach growls.

"I'm home."

"Princess how did the game go?"

"I'm their point guard daddy, how you think we did. Mopped the floor with them bi-" I noticed my mom on the couch. "them girls." she looked at me. "Hi mommy."

"Hi Daria. Glad to hea-"

"Sis come here." Zaria interrupted yelling from the kitchen.

"Thanks mom." I move into the kitchen aka Zaria's office. She is forever in this room, which I'm not complaining about it. For what she wants to do she get's all the practice she needs. She was basically accepted to Le Cordon Bleu last summer. My sister can burn in the kitchen. "What's up?" she shoved a spoonful of rice in my mouth.

"Is it good?" she bit the side of her lip like mom does when she ponders things. She's more like her than she wants to admit.

"You already know it is. Did you add a little lemon to this time?"

" Yeah. So how'd it go?"

"32 points and 15 assists." we bumped fist.

"I knew you were gonna win. I'm proud of you Daria."

"Thank you Zee." I love that she always encouraged me. I'm not as nearly as beautiful as her, it's hard for me to have the confidence she and Ethan have.

"What's the plan to get out of here?"

"Shit a wing and a prayer. And you being a bitch to her is not going to help the situation."

"How you-" I gave her a "Who you think you talking to?" look "Okay I'll stop."

"Who we need to get with the program is Ethan. He's her favorite."

"Where is he anyway?" she checked on the chicken.

"He had tutoring after school." I stole a green bean out of the cooling pot.

"Move fatty. Go shower and get dressed."

"Can I wear your black skinny jeans?" she looked me over.

"Daria ion know. Your hips are looking a little wide lately. You fuckin?" My eyes shot open.

"What? Who told you that? Was it Anthony?"

"Whoa no one said anything. It was a joke. Are you?" She lifted an eyebrow.

"No, now can I wear the pants or not?"

"If you can fit them go ahead."

Let me go get this nigga Anthony together. Even if Zee was playing I still get the feeling he running his mouth.

Ethan

This chemistry nonsense is irking to my soul. And Tasha wasn't making it any easier for my by trying to get me in her bed. It's hoes like this that my mom always warned me about. The bad thing about it is that she is very intelligent but to stupid to look past her looks. I rather get with a girl that knows she is pretty but doesn't let that over shadow her book and street smarts. That's why I'm trying to holla at Alicia but she playing that hard to get game but I'm almost in. If I can get to this party tonight then I think it could be the night she let me at least take her out after on a little breakfast date and drive her home.

"Come on Ethan let me show what I'm working with." She sucked my ear. That's my spot.

"Unfortunately I already no what you working with along with the rest of the dudes at school. Listen I'm bout to go home."

"No, I'm sorry don't leave."

"Naw for real i gotta go. My mom got this thing about Halloween so I need to be in the house real soon or she'll flip. Next session we need to meet in the library." leaving her at the table i left the house hopping in my Lexus and headed home. I send out a text to my sisters.

Ethan
We gotta get to out of that house tonight.

Z-Bear
Yesssss.

D-Boogie
We will get it together once you get home. Hurry up.

Five minutes later I was entering the house. Zaria was in the kitchen and my mom and dad in the couch. I smelled my shirt and it smelled like Tasha's cheap ass perfume. If I was gonna sweet talk mama I couldn't smell like some girl, she'd flip. I tip toed up the steps and into my room to get fresh for tonight. Alicia is going as Zombie Cinderella, so It's only right that I go as Prince Charming.

Safaree

I need to grow a pair and tell her to let the kids go out and enjoy a Halloween with out security following them. She's so paranoid. I think it's this new baby and the fact that its Halloween. She's having flashbacks. Last night she was talking in her sleep and cussing out people while holding on to her belly. Nicki can't keep living in fear. Nor can she make the kids feel like they can't enjoy the one holiday that is really catered towards kids. And I know all of them want to go to Blue's party tonight. Hell I want to go and I'm not even a kid, the promo for this has been big.

"Nicki." I rubbed her belly. She was really into these horror movies this year.

"Yes babe."

"Look at me."

"Wait till commercial, Chucky is about to blow up the house." I cut the t.v. off. "Why?" she looked at me her forehead wrinkled and her pretty browns glaring at me.

"You have to let them go Nicki."

"No." she said without blinking.

"Nicki you can't shelter them like this. You barely let them do anything on any other day, the one time they are pleading to go out you stop them. And it's not because they have done something wrong, you're punishing them for something they nor you had any control over and it happened years ago."

"Safaree just let me parent my kids."

"Whoa, your kids? I had a hand in making them as well Nicki. Let's not play the "my kids" game. Let them go and have fun."

"We always stay home, why does it have to change this year?"

"Because they are 17 and deserve the freedom to go out with their friends. All three are on honor roll, holding the top three spots on it. They are going and that's the end of discussion."

"Oh so you can just shut down the conversations but let me do it and it's "You ain't listening Nicki". You get on my fucking nerves Safaree." I watched her get up and stomp up the steps.

"Damn I ain't gettin none tonight. Damn kids better praise me." I turned back on the television and continued movie night by myself.

Zaria

When I finished up dinner I left it in the warmer while I let the potatoes boil so I can make homemade mashed potatoes. I went up and showered. When I got out Ethan and Daria were siting on my bed talking.

"So have you thought about how we breakin out?" I walked into my walk in closet and put on my lotion since Ethan was in the room.

"We figured we get them separated and Ethan works on mommy and we double team daddy. That's all we have to offer. They don't take bribes, well daddy do but only in jewelry and we don't have time to pick him up nothing. The party starts in four hours so we need to get this in motion."

Daria was right. We had no leverage. I came out of the closet in my underwear.

"Ewl Zaria." Ethan turned his head.

"Nigga you in my room. Anyway Ethan you need to start on mommy now."

"Gotchu."

"Alright get out then. I'll call you two down when I plate the food." I watched him leave. "Daria stand up let me see what you wearing." I know she hated me looking over her clothes but I had to make sure she was presentable. She's gorgeous I don't know why she thinks otherwise. And her body is thick as hell, she got mommy beat in the ass department. And on top of that we're tall so everything is proportioned.

She had put on my black jeans which were hugging her hips nicely. She only had on a tank top on right now. I walked into my closet to get her this shirt I had just bought for her. When I shop I shop for both of us.

"Here put this on."

"Why pink Zee?"

"Deal. Since I know you're going to put a ponytail in your hair at least leave some of your hair down in the back. And I'll do your make-up even though you are a pretty ass bitch and you don't need it."

"Shut up."

"You are Daria. Don't start that you're prettier than me BS either. We have the same face doof. You just need the confidence and you'd have all the boys and girls flocking to you."

"Thanks sis. Now cover your butt so we can eat. Did you make extra, you know I love that chicken stuff."

"It's stuffed chicken, use the proper terminology."

"Whatever hurry up." She left the room.

Snuggle Bunny
I finished up my trick or treating earlier. I'm on my way to you.

Chef Z
You still wearing the outfit?

Snuggle Bunny
NO. What I look like wearing that around your parents?

Chef Z
Ugh, You're such a bore. Hurry we are about to eat.

Snuggle Bunny
I'm around the corner. I'm having my bro drop me off. Open the door.

Slipping on my clothes I raced down to the door as Lena was running up them in sweats. She still looked good. Her smooth chocolate skin against her yellow outfit was beautiful.

"Baby." she yelled hugging me.

"Hey sexy. Come on it's cold out here." I seen she had a bag. "You staying over?"

"If it's alright with your parents I am."

Walking into the kitchen Daria was plating her food.

"Dang fatty."

"Shut up. Hi Lena."

"Dinners ready." I yelled then heard movement throughout the house and then everyone entered the kitchen sitting at the table. Making everyone's plate then siting down. Dad prayed then we dug in.

"Baby this is good."

"Thank you."

Z-Bear
How did it go with mom?

Ethan
Idk all she did was stare at me. Weirdo.

I chuckled.

Daria

I couldn't even enjoy my food. Anthony's dumb ass had blabbed like I knew he did. Exactly the reason I never told anyone we were dating, he run his mouth like a female. The worst type of nigga. I really regret giving him my virginity but what's done is done now. I just can't believe he told his sister knowing that she is best friends with Blue. I bet everybody and they mama know my business. I pray James doesn't find out, I really like  him and don't want him to think I'm easy. Ugh I'm never having sex again, nothing but problems come with it. Okay i'm lying. That shit feels too good to never do again but I'm going to make sure it's with someone that makes it known that i'm important to them.

After dinner Zaria sent Lena to her room and me and her went and talked to daddy. He just had to let us go. Daddy was good and feed and now on the couch falling asleep. Perfect conditions for him to say yes.

"Daddy bear." Zaria called out.

"You haven't called me that in years. What's up baby girl?"

"Can you please talk to her? We promise not to do anything stupid while we are out. We will go straight to the party and come straight home afterwards." I sat on my knees in front of him with my lip poked out.

"Yeah daddy both of you know we are responsible. If we are all together nothing can happen to us. And it's a high profile party there is security everywhere. Pleaseeeeeeeeeeeeeee Daddy can we go?" we gave him the twin pouty face.

"Sure go ahead, we already decided you could go anyway." he turned and faced the couch getting comfortable.

"What?" we shouted in unison.

"Hey calm the noise and go thank your mother. Turn off the light too, since I'm sure I'm sleeping down here tonight."

We raced up the steps and into mommy's room attacking her with kisses.

"Get off me with y'all ugly selves."

"Mommy I'll check in when we get there, at midnight, and when we are on our way home. Thank you so much." Zaria ran to her room.

"Thank you mommy."

"Mhmm." She looked pass me at the television. Great. I'm invisible at school and at home. I got up and she grabbed my hand. "You look pretty baby."

"Thanks mommy."

"So you have let me sit here begging and pleading when you knew all along that we could go? That's rude Onika."

"Watch your mouth before i punch you in it. Get out my face before you be sitting here. What's your grade in Chemistry before you leave?"

"What was that dad? Here I come."

"Yeah you better run."

Ethan

We were all ready to to leave. Zaria's girlfriend looked fine as hell in her Indian costume. Daria went as a horse racing jockey, and Zaria none other than a sexy chef. I was driving us there so everyone piled into my car and we were off. Daria was skeptical because her and Blue always exchanged words. When we entered the party all eyes were on us. Not trying we were among the popular crowd or the popular crowd flocked to us. We all had our own crowd we actually hung with it, well Daria was a loner but she had the sports jocks to hang with. My mission was to find Alicia and make her mine tonight.

"Don't leave this party without me. That goes for you too Lena, ion care if you two get into one of your dumb arguments we leave together."

"Yes brother." Lena kissed my cheek and walked onto the dance floor with Zee.

"You good Daria?"

"Yeah go have fun."

That's all I needed. I knew Alicia exact location, my boy Miles had the scope on her for me. I made my way to the back of the house and onto the patio. Alicia was there looking as lovely as ever. Even as a Zombie baby girl was bad. It irked me when Tent Harris with his arm around her waist. Now was my time to slide in.

"Hey hey y'all." I dapped up all the dudes and gave hugs to the ladies. "You look sickeningly beautiful." I kissed her hand.

"Taking my outfit into consideration I'll let you slide with that one. You look very handsome, Prince Charming fits you."

"Thank you. Do you want to dance?"

"Naw she good right here." Trent's ol catfish lookin ass chimed in.,

"Excuse me? You don't make my decisions for me. I would love to Ethan." she put her hand in mines and we were off to burn up the dance floor.

Daria

I found James and the guys in the kitchen eating up all the food. Me and James found a corner and talked about the game today. Finally a guy who didn't mind me babbling on and on about sports. He was perfect in my eyes. Light skinned, with full lips, and his voice was so deep. He looked at me like he wanted to get to know me not just looking at my body. Well he looked but subtle. He wasn't a thirst bucket.

"So Daria you got a boyfriend?"

"Um no."

"You lookin for one." I giggled.

"No. Right now I just want someone I can hang with and it not be all complicated or emotional."

"Well that's me. How bout after our game tomorrow we got rent some movies and we just chill at my crib?"

"Just chill? At your house?" I raised my eyebrow. He must think I'm crazy.

"Yeah just chill." He gave me a big smile. "Alright if it makes you feel better we can go to your house. I can meet the parents so they know who their future son-in-law is."

"Whoa there. What happened to no emotions?"

"Oh yeah I forgot." He took my hand. "So your place?"

"No I trust you. Your place is fine."

"Good now that I've made my first move lets go dance."

They were playing some old song by my mom. I can't lie her flow is nice.

Zaria

We had been here for about two hours and all eyes seemed to be on me and mine. We can't ever just be a regular couple but I guess we aren't regular. Having an audience only made me get freakier on the dance floor. Lena was loving every minute of it. When we went to events with my mom we couldn't be so affectionate because of her stupid publicist. "It's not who the new Nicki Minaj is". Fuck does that mean? She had gay supporters, wouldn't it help that her daughter was gay?

"You're so soft babe." I whispered in her ear. It had been awhile since we first had sex and this outfit was not making it easy for me to keep it that way.

"Mmm you smell good." she bit my bottom lip. "You wanna do something crazy?" she looked me in my eyes.

"You lead and I'll follow." she grinned and we snuck past security and up the stairs we went. I couldn't keep my hands off her. She checked all the rooms and the door at the end of the hall was the only one open. Stumbling through the door we found the bed and fell on it. A few moments of kissing and then Lena broke the moment.

"I wanna see who's room we're in."

"Why does it matter?" I made no difference she got up anyway. Flicking on the lights we looked around. My eyes grew big. "Holy shit this is her parents room." This excited me more.

"OMG babe we are in Beyonce's room." She started looking through her drawers then she looked at her jewelry box.

"Leave that alone babe. Come back to the bed."

"Party pooper." She popped the front of her shirt exposing her nude bra making her way to me. "We are going to have sex on their bed, how do you feel about that?"

"I gives no fucks." I pulled her down on the bed.

Ethan

It's going on 2am and I know my mom is still up waiting on us. As much as I hated to stop my time with Alicia I had to go. We had spent most of the night talking and laughing in the den, not to many people were in there so it was fairly quiet. Turns out she wants to go to Spellman even though she had been accepted to Princeton. It just so happened that i wanted to go to Moorehouse, against my moms wishes. I also got into a ivy league college but they were so stuck up on our visit.

"Well my beautiful nightmare I hate to leave you but I have to get home." she looked sad.

"I guess it is time to go. My dad is going to flip."

"You need a ride?"

"Nope got my own whip."

"Oh yeah I forgot. Got ya little red Mercedes. You be lookin fly rolling up to school." We were walking towards the front.

"Your Lexus is pretty sexy. You should let me drive it sometime."

"Naw not Sey Lexy, that's my baby. Besides moms would have a fit."

"And whoop that ass." I turned around and seen Zaria and Lena coming down the steps.

"What were y'all doing up there?"

"Mind ya business. Where is that hussie Blue, I guess I should tell her thanks for the party."

"I don't know but we gotta go. Where is your sister?"

"I haven't seen her in a couple hours."

I called her phone. "D where you at?"

"I got kicked out, I'm outside the gates."

"What? Got kicked out why?"

"Blue started poppin shit and I handled that. Mommy gone be pissed."

"Why didn't you call us?"

"Because I know y'all were having fun besides I had company."

"Who?"

"James Dunkin"

"He ain't try nothing did he."

"No Ethan. Just come get me. And mommy isn't to hear about this until tomorrow. And I'll be the one to tell her."

"Alright. Here we come now." I hung up.

"Why she get put out?"

"She fought Blue."

"Shit. Well I knew it was gone happen. My sister bout that life, in her house she whoops ass. Thug Life."

"Thug life until Onika get a hold of that ass. Get in the car while I walk Alicia to her car."

"Oh that's you bro?"

"Trying to claim it. Here are the keys, warm the car."

"Im'a do more than that if you take to long." I heard Lena giggling, they nasty. I caught up with Alicia.

"So Alicia what's up with us?"

"I didn't know it was an us?" she leaned against her car.

"I'm sayin there should be an us. Why you keep playing me?"

"I'm not. I've dealt with your type before. All smiles and compliments then when I give you a chance you turn out to be a dick."

"You'll find out that I'm not like most guys Alicia. Give me a chance."

"We'll see. Call me tomorrow." She got in her car and pulled off. I jogged back to my car happy. I was in a better position with her than i was before the party. When I got in the car Lena and Zaria were damn near passed out in the back.  Let me go get my sister and hurry my ass home. I know I'll be the one to get the wrath for having us out this late. Best Halloween ever.

*So what do you think of the Kids? I really hope you liked this. COMMENT. Happy Halloween.*

Flaws and All...

*Okay so I tried something new with this post. I wrote from the perspective's of Safaree and Nicki. Tell me if you like it this way or the way i normally write it. Sorry if I break from writing in 1st person but It's new to me so don't judge. I hope you like this chapter, I tried making it long like the last one but I don't think I succeeded.*

Nicki stood on set watching the crew pack everything from the final scene. Steven had called 'That's a wrap!' 30 minutes ago. Nicki had done it. She had completed her first major motion picture movie, with her name pulling the weight. It was both an exciting and mortifying moment. The movie was now in the hands of the editor. She hoped she gave him enough to work with. Now she got to go home back to to the states and see her friends and family. Their flight left the day after tomorrow. tonight they were going to go to Mai's house and celebrate the wrapping of the movie.

@NICKIMINAJ: *Sighamese twins* It's a wrap Barbz.

"Mommy look what Jonté gave me." Zaria ran over with a kimono dress.

"Let me see." Nicki looked down at the dress then up at Jonté who was making his way over to them. "We are going to have to buy her another suitcase if you keep giving her all these clothes. She has already taken up space in me and SB's bags."

Jonté was a cute little Asian boy who worked in the wardrobe department. Him and Nicki became close after Jonté got her together on set while she was trying to throw a DIVA fit.Nicki rarely had anyone speak to her that way which made her take a liking to him. She wanted someone who was going to keep it real with her and not let her get on screen looking a hot ass mess. He simply explained to her that day that she couldn't bring Nicki Minaj the rapper into this movie because it wasn't about her. She had to bring Onika the actor into this new creative space and then proceeded to throw the multicolored leggings into the garbage and handed her some black ones and walked off.

"Oh I can give you the highway scene outfit and the coffee shop outfit and the boots from the Triad scene but i can't spoil her a little bit? That's just selfish." he crossed his arms.

Nicki laughed and handed Zaria back the Kimono. "Well she hasn't put in work like I have."

"Honey the day she helped me talk you out of wearing that God awful blue sequence dress, that right there was all the work I needed to let her walk through the racks kids clothes we had and take whatever she wanted."

"OK I guess she did do a good job on that one." Nicki ran her hand over Zaria's hair. "Jonté is there any way I can steal you away and you come work for me in the states?" Nicki put on her best pouty face.

"I'm on the first thing smoking as soon as I finish up my studies here."

"Then you can come work for us and get me pretty clothes like this?" She stroked the silk kimono.

"If your mommy still wants me in six months then sure I'll find you all kinds of pretty clothes."

"Don't worry I'm reserving a spot for you, it's here whenever you get to the U.S." Nicki reached out for a hug.

"It's been an honor styling you. Have a safe trip back, send a cute Asian boy a post card some time."

"I will and you be good, finish strong in school babe. See you later."

"Bye princess Zaria." he bowed and she curtsied.

"See you later Mr. Jonté."

Nicki was really gone miss the people in China. They were so polite, well when they weren't trying to somewhere. They reminded her of New Yorker's then. Nicki looked down at Zaria then noticed her shoes. Gone were the pink and purple Jordan's she wore out the house now black leather calve high boots took their place.

"Z-bear where did you get those boots?"

"Huh." Zaria looked down then giggled. Looking back up she spotted her dad coming over the hill and took off running. "Daddy look what I got?" she leaped into Safaree's arms.

"Hey munchkin what you been up too?"

"Avoiding my question." Nicki answered for her.

"Are you ready to head back to the house?" Safaree kissed her. A little too long for Ethan's liking.

"Daddy mommy's a girl you're going to catch cooties. Girls are gross." They broke from they're kiss.

"Oh yeah then why were you holding Mio's hand yesterday when we were playing?" Daria blurted out then laughed. Nicki raised her eyebrow. Safaree smiled.

"Was not." he denied then looked up at Nicki. "No I wasn't mommy."

"Ethan, my man." Safaree was happy his son was showing interest in girls. And he had good taste to Mio was a  pretty little girl.

"Safaree it's not cute." Nicki scolded. Ethan was her baby and she was the only girl in his life that got to hold his hand.

"Nicki he has to grow up sometime."

"Who says?" She picked up Ethan and laid his head on her shoulder. "I don't want to talk about it anymore. Let's go." She began walking to the car. I'm going to have to keep an eye on little miss Mio.

Dinner Party

I watched as Zaria walked up to the driveway in the Asian styled wooden sandals that dude Jonté gave her. The struggle was real to say the last. She's just like her mother with that Beauty is pain shit, Nicki would go through an agonizing four hours at events just to be cute then I have to rub her feet for an hour. Women. Daria on the other hand I could hang with, simple t-shirt, jeans, sneakers and she was ready to go. I just wish her self-esteem was high like her sisters.

"Safaree?" Mai brought me out of my thoughts.

"You okay?"

"Yeah, just thinking." I looked down to Nicki staring at me weird. "You OK?" she mouthed, I nodded yes.

Mio came running to the door smiling from ear to ear.

"Ethan guess....oh hi Ms. Nicki and Mr. F1." I loved when she called me that. Seeing Nicki roll her eyes at Mio made me chuckle a bit. I had her calling me all kind of names last night so she had no room to judge.

"Ethan I found a frog in the garden earlier come see." Mio grabbed Ethan's hand.

Nicki gave Mio a dirty look. I grabbed her hand to calm her a bit. Looking at Ethan I waited for his response because just like me my son don't do bugs, amphibians or any other animals that weren't your basic household pets.

"I don't know Mio, Ethan doesn't like-"

"Sure Mio." Ethan cut Nicki off. Mio jerked him forward and they sprinted off.

"Mio what about the girls? Don't be rude." Mai said.

"I'm sorry, I wasn't trying to be. Would you like to see the frog too?"

"I do." Daria ran over to her.

Zaria looked down. "No I don't want to get my dress dirty."

As the three ran off the rest of us stepped into the living room.

Nicki's POV

Mai had a beautiful home. It was silver themed mixed with some brown. Nice big windows, brown leather couches. Tiled for the most part with and area rug in the sitting area. Nice high ceilings and her fire place was  lovely. I wish I had a home.

"I'm sure this is nothing like your home Nicki." Mai handed me a Mojito.

"It's cozy here. I have a house not home. But maybe one day I'll have all this." I didn't want to sound depressed about it but like any other girl I want that American dream life. White picket fence, husband, and kids. 1 out of 3.

"Safaree will swoop you up soon. Trust Mai, she knows best."

"Mai why you speaking in third person?" I laughed trying to get of the topic. I looked around and Safaree was talking to some of the crew members that had arrived. Daria and Ethan were outside playing with some of the other kids that had come with they're parents. Zaria stood at the sliding door looking out at them play. My poor baby, trying to be cute got her missing out.

"Z-bear come here." she walked towards me stumbling in her shoes. "I have some play clothes for you in daddies bag if you want to go play and not get your outfit messed up."

"No. I like my dress, I want people to see me in it."

"Alright baby." I know the feeling of you having a new outfit and not enough people seen you in it so you go everywhere that day to make sure everyone sees. Now I wish I could be invisible when I went out.

"Nicki come over here I have some people that want to talk to you. Possible business ventures." Mai took my hand and lead me to a bunch of Asian men. They bowed when I made it there, I can get used to this.

Later that night me and Safaree were sitting on the couch watching the get together become a live party. The kids were out back playing on the jungle gym. I finally convinced Zaria to come out of that dress and go play.

Mai's youngest daughter Ming Lee, who was about 3, came running into the living room after the family dog. When the dog came to a halt it caused Ming Lee to collide with her and she flew backwards landing on her butt. The three year old giggled getting up off the floor and hugged the retriever around her neck.

"Bobo." she said rubbing the dogs mane.

The triplets came running in from outside and huddled around BoBo petting her.

"Mommy can I have a dog?" Zaria asked.

"Yeah me too mommy." Daria chimed in.

"No girls." Nicki didn't like the road this was heading down.

"Mommy Pweasee?" Oh, so now they pullin that twin shit?

"Don't start that, I said no."

"Mommy why not?" Zaria asked giggling as BoBo licked her face.

Nicki opened her mouth but nothing came out.

"Daddy please?" Daria begged.

I noticed the guest looking at the girls smiling. I don't know why, with they ugly self. Always trying to get something with them big pretty ass eyes.

"Why you tyring to get daddy yelled at?" I sipped my soda.

"I'm not daddy, I love you." she pouted. See, what I tell you? I can't blame she's a chip off the old block.

"We will see when we get home but I'm not promising anything." Nicki looked like she was internally kicking herself. "Now go play."

"Come on BoBo." Mio shouted as she ran back outside with all the kids trailing her.

"Softy." I wrapped my arm around her waist.

"Leave me alone. I'm sure they got away with murder while I was away."

She looked me in my eyes and that's when I noticed she wasn't wear her contacts. Staring back at me were the pretty brown I had fallen in love with so many years ago. The ones that used to look up to me crying for help when her father would go into one of his fits.

"Why you staring at me like that?" she sipped her Mojito and that's when I realized she had that glossy look to her eyes. She's drunk. Let me get her outta her. These Chinese folk to not need to see Onika in action.

"No reason. Why don't we go home. It's past the kids bedtime and I wanna cuddle with my baby."

"Really Faree?" she grinned wide. If that will get yo' drunk ass in the car.

"Yeah."

"Alright let me say goodbye to everyone and you get the kids." She kissed me adding a  little tongue at the end. See her ass don't know how to act but I love her crazy ways.

The next day Mai took the kids on one more outing before we left tomorrow. It gave us a chance to go out and explore China by ourselves. Me and Nicki were walking back from the market. Tonight I was going to try and make an Asian themed dinner. We have Pepto on stand by.

As we were talking these two Asian girls walked by. The taller one stopped and said hello to me, I smiled and waved. The small one extended her hand.

"Hi my name is Tamayo, how are you doing?"

"Great now that I've seen you beautiful ladies.?" they giggled.

I smirked a bit, these hoes are feeling way to special. They act like they didn't see me with Nicki. I turned back to Nicki, she had a "Negro have you lost your everlasting mind?" look on her face. All hell is going to break loose when we get home.

"Alright ladies it was nice meeting you but i have to get back to my girlfriend."

"Naw don't do me no favors." Nicki walked through the gate and up to the house.

"Nicki, what i do?" I laughed as i ran behind her. It's cute when she gets jealous. I closed the door behind me then caught her by the arm.

"Get off me Safaree."

She yanked away but I grabbed her again.

"Hey calm down. What was I supposed to do the short one was thick, you know I have a weakness for small thick girls." She started punching me in the chest then grabbed the keys out her purse.

"Where are you going?"

"To find that bitch and beat her ass." I laughed.

"Babe chill." I grabbed her and picked her up because she will find her. "I was joking."

"You laughing but you know I will. You play to much." She scowled as took her across the room and put her down.

"Why you always trying to fight?"

"Why you always trying my gangsta?" she rolled her eyes.

"Nobody tried your gangsta." I kissed her cheek then went to kiss her lips but she turned away. I hoisted her against the wall  making her wrap her legs around me. "What i tell you about keeping my kisses?" I bit her left breast.

"Owww Safaree."

"Give me my kiss."

"No."

I bit her again.

"Oww."

"Give it here and it bet no be no weak one either." She looked own at her boobs and seen the two marks forming. Nicki pulled my head to her and  snaked her tongue passed my lips and began tonguing me down.

"Why do you like to make me mad?" Nicki asked in between kisses.

"Them hoes don't mean anything to me, I have what I love right here." I started kissing her again then felt a sharp pain in my bottom lip. "What the hell was that Nicki?"

"They bet not mean shit to you." we had a stare down.

"They don't. I love you girl." She pecked my lips. "You broke skin babe."

"Let me kiss it and make it feel better." she sucked on my bottom lip. "The kids will be back soon."

"Then you better take care of this quick then." I let her feel my dick.

"I can fix that with no problem. Give me maximum 10 minutes."

"Oh? Your shit that good?" I put her down.

"You better act like you know." She pulled me up to the bedroom by my shirt.

3 Months Later

"Tonight ladies and gentlemen we have a very special guest. It's her first time visiting us here at Letterman studios. Please give her a warm welcome so she will come back again, ladies and gentlemen Nicki Minaj."

I heard the roar of the crowd and made my way to to stage. Looking into the audience I spotted my two mini-me's front row clapping their little hearts out. Looking at everyone else I waved making my way to Dave. He stood and helped me to my seat before sitting himself. The crowd died down.

"So how are you Ms. Minaj?"

"I'm very well thank you. You?"

"Still kicking. Doing much better now that I have you sitting in front of me." I blushed. "You have a very beautiful smile."

"Thank you. Dave don't you have a wife?"

"And thank you for bringing me back to reality." The crowd broke out into laughter. "So I'm not going to ask you all the background questions because we all know. You're no knew kid to the block."

"My fans are probably clapping at the screen for that. They hate it when people ask me the same questions from 10 years ago. So they're loving you for that now."

"Well I'm glad because I've heard about how your, what are they called Barbz?"

"Yes my Barbz and my Ken Barbz to you guys but they will always be my babies."

"Well yes the Barbz, I've heard how they can attack if they don't like what is said about you."

"My babies don't attack. They let people know they're place and not to disrespect me. They are very protective and I love it."

"Okay I'll make sure not to say anything crazy. I see we have the little ones here with us today." he gestured towards the kids. Daria was whispering something in Zaria's ear. The audience let out an "awww". "We're one short where is the boy?"

"Ethan is at home with his Nana, he didn't feel to good today."

"And the dad, he is also your hypeman. He is usually everywhere you are but he's not here either."

"No he had business to take care of so that's why the girls are with me today. I'm just like any other mom, when I don't have someone to watch my kids then they come with me."

"You could hire a nanny."

"Nope, my mom didn't have a nanny. When she needed to be somewhere I had to tag along, I'm from that old school parenting."

"Can we invite them up? Girls do you wanna come up on stage?" Dave asked. They slide off the chairs and walked hand in hand onto the stage. "Can we get them a mic?" A man rushed out handed Daria the mic and rushed back off. "So what are your names?"

I sat back and watched my babies work their charm on the audience. I didn't mind that the spot light was on them for a change. It was a rarity that they were in the public eye like this, every once in awhile didn't hurt.

"So Nicki let's dive right into Janus Hunt. What is this movie about?"

"Well it's about a girl named Janus Hunt, she's from a well off family. She had a very good child hood up until her mother died from being shot when she was 13. Her father was an officer then became a detective. She picked up on a lot of his skills. As an adult she becomes a female assassin, one day her father is murdered while still on the hunt for who killed her mother. Janus believes that both her parents murders were carried out by the same person. So she goes on the hunt to find justice for her parents."

"And this is an action movie right?"

"Yes I trained for months to get my body in shape and to build my endurance. Then worked with a stunt coordinator."

"You do the stunts?"

"Yes, every stunt you see is actually me. I have pics of the bruises to prove it."

"Well we have a clip. Do you wanna watch it?" he asked me.

"I mean it's here, we don't have anything else to do." the audience laughed at our bland faces.

"What do you guys want to do? Do you wanna watch the clip?" Daria had her head propped in her hand and Zaria was picking at the sparkles on her dress.

"Um which one is it mommy?"

"The one where I'm on the waterfall with Mr. Frank." she contorted her face.

"You were on a waterfall?" Daria asked.

"Yes girls you hadn't came to visit me yet." they made they're mouths into the O shape.

"Yes Mr. Dave let's watch it." Zaria said.

Once the clip wrapped up David promoted the movie and thanked me for being there. Once they yelled clear they took the mics and me and the girls were off. I had to go check on my baby. The three of us piled into the range and the driver pulled off. I checked twitter.

Safaree's POV

Me and Nicki decide to have a movie night after we put the kids to bed. I finally got her to watch the Paranormal Activity movies. She was all up under me during the first one and half of the second one but after that she was laughing and shouting at the screen. Then she had me watching Holiday Heart, Ving Rahmes should have never done that movie. Now Nicki is currently doing that obnoxiously cute laugh talking about Chris Tucker in Money Talks.

"No, when he dove over the counter to get away from the cops. I can't." She had tears rolling down her face.

It really wasn't that funny. I wish she would hush so I can tell her something more like ask. I hope she doesn't freak out and over think this.

"Nicki you know I love you more than life it's self right?"

"Yes babe." she trying to stop laughing.

"And you know I'd do anything for you. You don't ever have to worry if you're safe when I'm around."

"I know." Nicki was still recovering from her giggles.

"Marry me." the room went silent. Our eyes were now locked. I was trying to read her mind.

"What?" her smile faded.

"Marry me. I don't want to wait to call you my wife, I've done all the waiting I can stand over the last 15 yrs. Be mine babe."

"Safaree..."

"Don't think about it. Just say yes. We are perfect for each other. We accept each other flaws and all, we can't spend more than a couple hours apart before we have to call each other or see each other. Baby this ain't no puppy love." I was now on both knees in front of the couch she was sitting on. "I'm done with the boyfriend title, I want to be your husband and say all those vows and mean it. I want to to be able to say I'm going home to my family and not I;m going over my girlfriends house. Please Onika. I've never been so serious about something in my life." I stopped and waited for a response. Nicki sat with a dazed look on her face. Safaree pulled a peach colored diamond ring from his pocket and presented it to her. "I'm asking again Nicki, will you be Mrs. Safaree Lloyd Samules?"

*[Runs around] OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH SHITTTTTTTTTTTTTTT. It just got real people. What is the verdict? What will Onika say? Will she let love take the lead or will she over think it and shut a coon down? I don't know. Come back and see on the next chapter of Bound To you. I want comments and predictions on this before y'all get the next chapter. I have a minimum number in my head that I need before I give it up. Better make sure ya peoples comment. :)*

Daria's Blues...

*Sorry for any typos. Enjoy people.*

Michelle didn't know what she was going to do now that she basically was forbidden from seeing Nina. Thursday night went all wrong, she didn't mean to get her that drunk. When they left her house after their last shot it began to rain. Nina was all over the the street trying to get control of the car. Just as they were about to hit the main streets Nina's Volvo hydroplaned and she hit a light post. Michelle walked away from the accident as for Nina, she was air lifted to the nearest hospital  because there was an accident on the route to the hospital.

"Is this Mr. Simone?"  boomed through Quentin's phone.

Quentin looked over to the clock and it read 1:17am.

"Yes this is him."

"This is St. Josephs hospital we have a Nina Samules here and she's asking for you." the operator said.

"What? Nina. Is she okay?" He hopped out the bed grabbing some sweats and his car keys.

"I can't say. We got your number from her phone, she was mumbling your name and asking for you."

"I'll be right there." He hung up the phone and raced towards the hospital.

At the hospital the doctor had just finished wrapping Nina's leg up, it had broken in two places. She had a gash on her forehead and also fractured a rib. They had given her medication to reduce the pain.

Quentin came into the hospital and went straight for the front desk.

"What room is Nina Samules please?" the young girl typed in her name.

"She is not allowed visitors yet." she popped her gum.

"They lady called me and told me she was asking for me. I have to see right away." he elevated his voice.

"Like I said sir I can't let you go back there until someone confirms she is done with her initial test. Now you can have a seat and I will call you as soon as I get clearance " She went back to staring at her computer.

Quentin looked around n spotted a seat for himself. He sat thinking about all the things him and Nina hadn't gotten to do yet. He needed to know she was OK. What if she wasn't? What if she didn't make and left him here alone. He hadn't even gotten to give her the ring he bout her and ask for her hand in marriage. Four years and earlier might have been his last time speaking, hugging, and kissing her. He needed to know what happened.

"Sir." he looked up seeing the young girl waving him over. He moved as fast as his legs would get him there.

"Yes?"

"Go around to the security desk and hand them this slip of paper. They will give you a badge and directions to her room. I hope all is well." she gave him a hopeful smile.

"Thank you." Quentin did as he was told then made his way to the third floor. He went to the nurses station. "Room 314?" the nurse pointed to the left.

Quentin silently prayed that it wouldn't be a horrific sight, he couldn't stand to see the love of his life harmed. He walked into the room and looked over to a sleeping Nina. She looked peaceful not to banged up. Quentin scanned her body seeing the bandage on her forehead then her leg wrapped and elevated. Taking a seat next to her he stroked her cheek wondering how this happened, he laid his head down.

Nina's eyes fluttered open and landed on the top of his head. She looked around and assessed that she was in a hospital room. Looking down at her leg she began to remember what happened. Nina lifted her hand and rubbed the top of Quentin's head making him look up at her.

"Nina how are you feeling?" he scooted his chair closer. 

Nina tried speaking but her mouth was dry. 

"Hold on baby." he got up pouring her a cup of water and put the straw in it. "Here." he slipped the straw into her mouth. "Is that better?"

"Yes." it was just above a whisper.

"Baby tell me what happened."

"I was driving...I told her we should..." she trailed off silently crying.

"It's okay babe. It's over now, I'll be here to help you heal."

"I should have just listened to you. You told me to call, she made me think I could do it.  I should have listened."

Quentin knew who she was talking about. He was furious, what kind of friend let's their friend drink and drive. At their age they know better.

A knock racked across the door and they looked back at a distraught Michelle.

"I'm so sorry Nina. I should have listened to you when you said you weren't okay."

"Yeah you should have." Quentin stood up blocking her view of Nina. He became angry seeing her with only a couple of scratches on her and his girlfriend was laid up in a hospital bed.

"I'm sorry Quentin."

"No you're not. You always talk her into doing dumb shit then want to apologize for it. Well not this time, don't come around her anymore."

'What?" Michelle asked shocked. "It's not my fault. Nina is a grown woman, if she didn't want to drive she could have said something."

"She tells me how you get when you're out and she tries to object to something. Not even that I've seen first hand how you try manipulate her. But don't worry this will be that last time. Get out." he was breathing heavily.

"Nina is that what you want?" Michelle stepped to the side making eye contact with her. Nina looked away. "Fine I'll leave." She stormed out of the room.

"Why did you do that? It's not her fault, like she said I'm a big girl I made the decision on my own."

"I've never liked her and I don't want her around you." he stated grabbing her hand.

"You act like Safaree." She snatched her hand away.

"Well why don't I call him and let him know what irresponsible shit you have been doing. Ditching class to go with Michelle to art openings. Not going to you're tutoring that Nicki is paying for."

"You're not my father Quentin."

"And I'm not trying to be but do you see the way you are acting Nina? I'm just trying to look out for you. What type of man would I be if I didn't point out the shit that could possibly hurt you in the long run?" he sat down and grabbed her hand, she didn't pull away. "Baby i love you and want nothing but the best. If you wanna be friends with Michelle fine go ahead but you have to make smarter decisions especially when it comes to things like what happened tonight. Do you know how scared I was I was going to lose you?"

"I'm sorry Q. I never want to hurt you or scare you like this. I promise I will never do anything that stupid again." She kissed his hand. "I love you."

Michelle knew she would have to do a lot to regain Nina's trust back and she had to quickly.

Shanghai

Nicki woke up early Saturday morning from the sun beaming through the window onto her face. Looking around her eyes landed on Safaree's face on the other side of the bed. Nicki let her eyes roam down to his chest, she noticed it was a lot more chiseled than she remembered. Nicki felt a small foot nudge her in her stomach. She looked down to see Zaria stretching then snuggle back into the pillow. Daria was on the other side of Ethan nuzzled into her fathers side.

Nicki became a little bit saddened. Daria hadn't said much to her since she got to China. Every time Nicki tried to interact with her, Daria would run to her daddy. She felt as if Daria hated her for leaving them. A tear escaped down her cheek.

Morning beautiful." Safaree greeted her softly as he stretched out.

Nicki swiftly wiped her tear away.

"Morning"

The pair hadn't had time to themselves alone since his arrival. All Nicki wanted was a few moments in his arms, a few stolen kisses. Quiet time while she just held him.

"Want to go cook breakfast?" she asked.

"You helping?" he got out of the bed gently as to not wake the kids.

"Yes babe." she followed behind him. They made their way into the hallway bathroom, him to relieve himself and her to brush her teeth.

Both standing in front of the mirror with foam all around their mouths. Only sounds that could be heard were birds outside the bathroom window and the toothbrushes going across their teeth. It was moments like this that they each had missed over the past two months.

"Can we make your waffle sandwiches?" Nicki asked wiping the excess toothpaste from her mouth.

"What?" he was shocked. "I thought you didn't like those? Thought they were a heart attack waiting to happen?" Safaree walked behind her as they made their way out of the bathroom and down to the kitchen.

"It's funny what you miss once you don't have it." Nicki say in the chair pulling her knees to her chest and resting her head on them.

"Well if that's what my baby wants that's what she'll get." he kissed her forehead and began moving around the kitchen.

Nicki sat and watched him maneuver around the kitchen trying to get to know the layout of where everything is. She thought about what life would be without him. Nicki  thought about how good he was to her and at times she really didn't deserve it. How he takes care of his children with out being hounded to do so. Goes out of his way yo make sure there is a smile on her face when she gets down in spirits. She came back from her thoughts to find Safaree looking at her.

"What you thinking about?" he asked.

"You." she smiled.

Safaree went back to frying the bacon. There was something he needed to tell her but he didn't want her to flip out on him.

"Babe."

"Yes." Nicki answered making him jump because she was now behind him. She wrapped her arms around his waist.

"Why were you crying this morning?"

"Oh you saw that?" she sighed into his back. "I feel horrible for leaving them behind. And now Daria won't even speak to me. I should have made a different decision."

"Daria will come around Nicki don't worry about that. She just has to get used to you being around again." he tried to reassure her.

"If you say so." she listened to the sound of whisk hitting the sides of the bowl as he mixed the waffle batter.

"Speaking of Daria, I need to tell you something."

"What is is?"

"It's about her and her dyslexia." he felt her hands drop from his waist.

'What about it?'

"She said her letters were beginning to be jumbled again so they put her back in that reading group class."

"What? She just got out of it in December. Did you not go over her reading wither her like I told you to Safaree?" She crossed her arms.

"What? Yes I did. Every night. It was a shocker to me to when they told me. She never once said to me that she was having problems. Is was like as if one day she just back peddled and she was back to square one." he was insulted that Nicki would think he would take this lightly.

"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to accuse of not doing your job but I just don't understand she was doing great before I left." Nicki stood and thought. "Before I left. You don't think she did that as a ploy for me to come home do you?" Nicki bit her lip.

"She's five, I don't think she can think that logically."

"Don't under estimate her, she's not ya average kid. Daria knows how to get what she wants." she sat on the bench on the other side of the table. "God this is all my fault." Safaree poured the batter into the waffle maker and spun it for the timer to start then turned around to Nicki.

"Come here." he pulled her from the bench close to his body backing her against the counter. "This is not your fault. Look at me." he tilted her chin up. "Things like this happen Nicki. She will always have this Nicki. You can't blame yourself for everything that goes wrong in our children's lives. And as for her behavior towards you, just don't give up on trying to get her to interact with you. I think that's what she wants for you to show her that you care about her. OK?"

"What would I do with out you?" she draped her arms over his shoulders.

"You'd be just fine." he held her tiny waist.

"No I wouldn't. I need you in my life, you keep me from going crazy when this industry shit gets reckless." she gently kissed his lips.

He picked her up sitting her on the counter in front of him. This felt like deja vu to the both of them. Safaree took some of the syrup and drizzled it onto Nicki's neck then sucked it off. Safaree missed their intimate moments and making her body feel good multiple times a night. He heard a moan escape her mouth, he pulled back.

"Why'd you stop? she asked.

"I don't want to start anything you won't finish."

"I'll finish babe comeback and kiss me some more. I've missed that bottom lip." she pulled him back and locked him in a kiss.

"Babe the bacon." he managed to get out between kisses.

"Just a little longer." Nicki snaked her tongue back into his mouth. She was going to get her alone time. Slipping her hand into his pajama pants she searched for her prize finding him standing at attention. "See you don't want me to stop." she sucked on his ear and stroked his dick.

"Damn Nic." was all he could get out. He heard the waffle maker go off indicating it was time to take it out. "I gotta get that." he muttered.

"Stop trying to get away." she tightened her grip.

Safaree shook his head and tried to reach the maker without moving his lower body. Fail. He grabbed Nicki's wrists but she wouldn't let go. Safaree tilted onto one leg and turned it and popped it open. He went back to enjoy Nicki's hand job but she had stopped.

"Since you so worried about eating how bout you dine on something you haven't had in a while." Nicki ran her hand over her center. She watched Safaree lick his lips and go for her shorts.

Just then they heard little foot steps heading down the stairs. Nicki let her head fall onto his shoulder, Safaree just smiled.

"What if they would have came down and found your legs locked around my head? What explanation would mommy have then?" he kissed her cheek. "Later tonight. I promise."

"Mommy." Ethan shouted running up to her. He lifted up his arms to be picked up.

"Let mommy wash her hands first." Nicki hopped down off the counter and went over to the sink.

"Why?"

Nicki looked over to Safaree who was holding back a laugh.

"Because they have sticky stuff on them." she blushed at her explanation as she ran her soapy hands under the hot water.

"Like Syrup?" Ethan questioned.

"Yeah baby like syrup."

"Ohhhh." he went to sit at the table. Nicki leaned over and punched Safaree in the arm.

"Don't touch me with a nasty hand." Safaree laughed. The kids looked at them confused not getting their humor.

Nicki went and sat next to Daria on the bench and put her arm around her. Daria got up and went to stand by her daddy.

"Can I help daddy?" Nicki sighed.

"No go sit back down."

"But why daddy? When we were at home you let me."

"Go sit and talk to mommy." Daria looked back at Nicki. Nicki smiled.

"I don't want to, I wanna help you." She whined.

"Just let her Safaree." Nicki turned and began talking with Ethan.

Safaree gave Daria a dirty look and handed her the chocolate chips to put in her waffle batter.

"I love you daddy." Daria hugged his leg. Nicki's heart sank a little.

After breakfast they settled in the living room. Nicki wasn't scheduled to be on set until the next afternoon. Safaree and Nicki sat on the couch cuddled up as the kids played on the floor with their toys.

"Do you know how much I love you?" Nicki nestled her face in Safaree's neck.

"Remind me again." he was enjoying the feeling of her sucking on his earlobe.

"I love you more than all the words in all the books in all the world."

"So you quoting Janet Jackson?" He pulled back and looked at her.

"Janet said that?" She scrunched her face up.

"Yes."

"See she knew how I felt about you. That's why she my girl." she laughed.

"Oh so you can't figure out words to describe your love for me?" Safaree tickled her side causing Nicki to breakout in giggles.

"Daddy come play with me." Daria pulled at his arm.

"I'll play with you later baby, right now I'm playing with mommy."

"Now daddy now!" she jumped up and down.

"Fine Daria." Safaree let go of Nicki's waist and moved her off his lap. Nicki had a "What the fuck" look on her face as Safaree turned around and mouthed "I'm sorry". Daria gave her a smug look.

Oh if she thinks she can play jealous girlfriend better than me somebody down told her wrong. "Oh Daria." she waited for her to turn around. "Me and daddy were talking and he told me you were moved back into your old reading group. I think you need an hour or two of studying before you begin doing anything else today." Nicki looked down and picked at her nail then looked at Daria with the same smug look she had given her minutes before.

"But I don't want too."

"Well it's not really about what you want now is it? So me and you are going to spend some quality time at the table like the good ol days going over reading exercises." Nicki's tome changed towards the end. She didn't want to go toe-to-toe with her 5 yr old. That's not how she wanted their relationship to be.

"Well I want daddy to help me." Nicki looked away getting angry now.

"No can do. I have to... do stuff with Ethan today." Safaree stammered out. Ethan looked up from his coloring sheet with a confused face. Safaree shot him a look.

"Yeah. Sorry D we got man stuff to do." He flexed his non-existing muscles. Zaria rolled her eyes.

"Daria go ahead with mommy. You guys have fun when she helps."

"No, It's not fair, I want you to help me." stomped over to the stairs.

Nicki had had enough. "Get back here Daria." Daria stopped on the steps turning around and gave Nicki a dirty look then proceeded up the stairs to her room and slammed the door. "That's it. I've had it with her." Nicki jumped up walking past Safaree swiftly.

Safaree heard her small feet move with the speed of a ninja up the stairs then heard a door slam into the wall. Then there was silence. He moved at a glacier pace up to the room. He figured this was the stare down phase. In this moment Daria was trying to figure out what was going on behind Nicki's wide angry eyes and Nicki trying to control her anger.

"So you wanna slam doors?" Nicki moved from the door and grabbed Daria by her shirt while she stood wide eyed. "Answer me!"

"No"

"Obviously you do. Do you pay bills?"

"No." Daria began to cry at her mother yelling.

"Don't give me those croc tears now, you weren't crying when you were slamming doors."

Safaree appeared in the door way.

"So since you like slamming doors these days, that means you have forgotten how to shut a door the proper way. I want you to open and close this door 200 times so you don't ever forget how to close one properly." Nicki watched Daria's eyes get even bigger.

Daria looked passed her to Safaree for help.

"Mommy that's not fair."

"300." she tightened her grip on Daria's shirt. "You wanna go for 400 hundred?"

"No." She whined.

Nicki pointed behind her still looking at Daria. "Then fix your face and get to the door."

"Daddy please?" she begged.

"Safaree leave."

"Daddy no." Daria ran to him and latched on to his leg.

Nicki calmly went and removed her. "Safaree please?" Making eye contact with him. He stood behind her decision and walked away.

"Daddy." Daria reached out for him.

"I suggest you get to it, we have things to do today." Nicki stood in the hallway across from the girls room and watched her. Daria stared at Nicki with a scowl and tear stained cheeks, Nicki stared right back. "Try me if you want." Nicki raised an eyebrow and crossed her arms. Daria began sobbing again then closed the door and opened it. "One." Nicki counted off.

Safaree sat downstairs with Ethan and Zaria as they listened to Nicki count and Daria continue to sob. It hurt Safaree to hear his little girl crying but she had to learn and he had to let Nicki be a mother. What Daria was getting was a lot better than the punishment he would have gotten if he slammed a door in his mothers house. Him and Nicki agreed that consequences like this would be the first step into disciplining the children rather than going straight to the belt. Punishments like this hurt them way more than a belt can but the Samules troop all knew what a good ass whoopin felt like from both parents and none of them would want that route.

'Come on let's go outside and shoot some hoops." Safaree offered.

"OK." they said in unison. Both slid off the couch sad.

"She'll be OK you two, cheer up." he grabbed the basketball and nudged them outside.

Back upstairs

"52." Nicki was sitting on the floor now as Daria continued with her punishment.

Daria heard the basketball bouncing outside and then giggles of Zaria and Ethan. "I wanna go outside." she shouted.

"No."

"That's not fair." She slammed the door again.

"Another hundred,  I can sit here all day." Daria cried out again. "You have until 1 pm to get this done and if you go a second past that I will put something on your ass Daria Rae Samules, get it done." Nicki walked to the window and yelled out for Zaria to get in the house. Nicki walked into her room and grabbed a box of fruit snacks from her bottom drawer. When she walked back out into the hallway Zaria was standing there. "Here." She handed her the fruit snacks. "Sit here and count every time she closes the door until she gets to 400. She's on 88 right now."

"Okay." Zaria sat down sitting the candy next to her. She didn't like it when her mommy punished one of them.

"Don't skip any for her either." Nicki walked downstairs to the bathroom and shut the door. She let out a heavy sigh followed by tears. She never wanted to see her the look of hatred in her children's eyes and that's exactly what she felt from Daria. There was a knock on the door then it opened. She met Safaree's eyes.

"Don't cry babe." She wrapped her arms around his neck and released into his chest.

That Evening

Nicki woke up from her nap now laying in bed. She sat up looking over at the clock it read 6:18 pm. She heard a banging noise on the side of the house. Nicki got out the bed and walked downstairs meeting Safaree at the bottom.

"Hey you. I was just on my way up to check on you. How you feeling?" he kissed her cheek.

"I'm good. Where are the kids?"

"Zaria is playing dress up in her room, Ethan is playing with his trains in the front room, and Daria is kicking her soccer ball around outside." Nicki tugged at the necklace around his neck and sat down in the window seat watching Daria. He pulled the plastic necklace from around his neck. "You should go out and play with her."

"I don't feel like being shutdown once again."

"Just go get on your sneakers and go talk to her. You helped her with those skills, when I try I'm always on the ground." he laughed. Nicki had became a little skilled at soccer when her trainer for the movie had her doing soccer drills for exercise. "Oh and don't think I forgot about you not helping with breakfast this morning do you will be cooking dinner." Nicki rolled her eyes. "Now go."

"Fine, I'll go." she already had on some shorts and a t-shirt so she slipped on her shoes and jogged around to the side. Daria had drew a box on the side of the wall with some chalk and was practicing kicking goals.

"Can I play?"

"I guess."

"Wanna work on offense?"

"Sure." Daria smiled.

They went back and forth running drills for an hour. Since Nicki had built her stamina for the movie they went longer than usual. Daria went from trying to break her mom to actually having fun. Nicki called it quits, even though she had great endurance didn't mean she had  enough to keep up with five year old lungs. They sat sitting on the steps.

"Daria why are you mad at mommy?" Nicki asked pushing Daria's stray hairs behind her ear.

"You left me. It made me sad. Why couldn't we have come with you like we are now?"

"You were in school Daria and I didn't want you to be pulled from that. Daddy got you a tutor now but I just thought it was best if you stayed at home."

"I don't like it when you leave mommy. What if you don't come back?" Nicki picked her up and sat her in her lap.

"Baby girl you don't ever have to worry about me not coming back. You are mommy's angel I will always come back to you. I love you, your brother and sister a great deal. If I didn't have you guys mommy would be sad. It hasn't been easy for me to be away from you guys. It hurts when you treat mommy mean. That disrespectful side I seen from you today is not acceptable. When you feel sad or hurt you talk your problems out Toot. Do you understand?"

"Yes mommy. I'm sorry, I didn't mean to be mean. Well I did but...I'm sorry." She cried into Nicki's chest. Nicki held her tight.

"It'll be alright. And about that slamming your door-"

"I won't anymore, my arms hurt." She wiped her face with her arm.

"As long as we have an understanding. Now come on we stink. Shower then dinner time." she stood up with Daria in her arms.

"Mommy."

"Yes love bug?"

"Can we do math practice? We started on multiplication and it's to hard."

"Yes. If your sister hasn't eaten all the fruit snacks we can use them to help us."

"I love you mommy's angel."

"I love you too mommy."

Later that Night

"Babe come on I've fallen asleep without you for two months and I'm not doing it again. I'm sleepy." Safaree was laid across the bed looking through Nicki's phone. They had gotten the kids to finally go to sleep an hour ago. He had showered and everything but Nicki still wasn't out yet. He yawned.

"You're tired? So I should go take this off then and put on a t-shirt huh?" Safaree looked up to find Nicki in

"No no no no. I'm energized like a muthafucka, i can run a marathon." He grabbed Nicki's hand as she made her way over to the foot of the bed. "You look sexy. Abs all tight. Thighs as firm as they wanna be." He ran his hand up the back of her thighs as he marveled over her body.

"So you just want to look?" Nicki lifted his chin and kissed his lips then ran her tongue over his bottom lip.

"Naw I'ma do a lot more than that." She pulled her onto the bed and got on top of her leaving kisses all over her body. "I've missed these." Moving her breast from her bra he ran his tongue over her pierced nipples and tugged at each one. It sent a quivering sensation down her spine.

"They've missed you too. I've missed him." Nicki said grabbing Safaree's dick.

"Y'all got reaquainted earlier remember?" he unhooked her bra.

"Not like we wanted to be though. Me and him are going to have a long talk." She rolled over on to Safaree and straddled him kissing his chest. She made her way down his body and removed his boxers. She took his dick in her hands and slipped the tip in her mouth. Both let out a moan. She spit on it and stroked him firmly.

"Put it back in your mouth." he instructed. She put him into her mouth. It felt good pleaseing her man again. "Deep throat bae." When did he get so demanding she thought. She relaxed her throat and slid him further in. "Fuuckkkkk."

"Safaree shhhh."

"It just feels so good." She smiled up at him licking the side of his manhood. He gathered her hair and watched her continue for a little longer. "Stop babe. Come here."

He stood her up slipping her panties off. He laid her down on the bed and entered her. Safaree stopped and dropped his head while Nicki laid in bliss both loving the feeling of being joined with the other. Nicki moved her hips to let him know she was ready for all of him. Safaree began stroking in and out of her. They stared at each other. The only sounds in the room were coming from their love making.

"Mmmmm it feels good." Nicki pulled him into a kiss. She swiveled her hips causing him to speed up. He got on his knees. Grabbing her by the thighs he pulled her to him and pounded into her. "Shit." she muttered.

"Damn I've missed this." he pulled out and went down on her. He sucked on her clit and put two fingers inside of her. Nicki sat up and watched him flick his tongue on her pearl. Grabbing the back of his head she reached her first orgasm of the night. She collapsed on the bed, but Safaree wasn't done with her. Safaree leaned over her a kissed her lips. He wanted to put her ass to work. "Ride me." he laid down pulling her on top of him.

"Fuck." was all she could say as he pushed her down on to him. Nicki steadied herself on his stomach and rolled her hips. Safaree leaned up and bit her breast then sucked on the spot. "Safaree." she put her head on his shoulder.

"Naw don't get lazy, you been trying to get at this all day." he laid back still holding her hips. Nicki pushed her hair out of her face. Nicki bounced on his dick while playing with her breast. "You look so sexy and you feel amazing." She bit her lip and smiled. He rubbed his thumb over her clit making her smile disappear and was replaced with a look of want, of need. She was ready to release again and Safaree knew that. He tapped the back of her thighs letting her know to move. He got behind her and bent her over sliding into her. Instead of strokes this time he kept her butt to his pelvis and whined his hips. She flet all of him moving around in her it sent her into a frenzy. Nicki began bucking her hips trying to stop the feeling but it was to late she was half way there. She contracted her walls letting him know she was on the verge of coming. "Come for me Nicki." he didn't have to wait to long, she was busting on his dick within seconds which made him pump faster and come.

Nicki fell on to the bed breathing heavy and sweating. Safaree lay next to her in the same state, he looked over and smiled. Satisfied with his work he slapped her ass. She lazily turned her head towards him.

"What?"

"It was good huh?" he gave a big grin.

"I can't even play you tonight, shit was bomb as fuck." she smiled back feeding his ego.

"Another round?" she shook her head no.

"Gotta action scene tomorrow. Can't be walking funny."

"When did you become such a punk? You could handle another go but I'll respect your wishes. Let's go shower."

"Okay give me five minutes." She laid her head on his chest. Moments later he heard her faint snores.
