Since The Beginning

Part 2

"Nic I can't thank you enough"

"For what?" She giggled

"For giving me the family I always wanted" he said getting down on one knee.

After he tied his shoes he stood up and took Nickis hand leading her upstairs.

"Baby let's take a bath" he said when they got to the room

"Ohhhhhh now you wanna shower wit da kid!?!?" Nicki laughed as he walked over to her grabbing her waist and planting a kiss on her lips

"NIKAAAAA?"

"Yeah Caiah? I'm upstairs!" Nicki yelled back then they heard his footsteps.

(Did I say how old he was? Well I want him to be 11 so whatever)

"Safaree, come here"

"But you just asked for me" Nicki pouted

"Well yeah I thought about it, come on Safaree" he walked out the room expecting Safaree to follow.

When they got to the hallway he closed the door and looked at Safaree while he tapped his chin.

"You know you're something else right?" Safaree laughed

"I'm glad you can laugh at a time like this" he shook his head

"Wait, is something really wrong?"

"Yes! You think I'll call you for nothing!?"

"Okay so spill, what is it?"

"Safaree.... I need you to do something for me"

"Okay what?"

"Be my brother....."

"Caiah you already have Jay but you can call me your big brother if you want"

"No!! It has to be a legal thing!"

"Well then let's go to the court and get it in writing" Safaree joked then he noticed Caiah had a serious face.

"Tell me what happened with you and Jelani"

"I'll tell you after you marry Onika, I can't tell a stranger my family business" he winked at Safaree and went back downstairs

"Nic! I'm taking my baby girl downstairs!!" Safaree said and went to get Aryanna from her crib.

"Hey babyyyyyyy" he smiled wide at her and she just smiled back and hit his face

When they got downstairs he decided to go see his mother.

"Ma...."

"You know you don't really have to leave right?"

"No it's okay, I want to leave. But please go get Onika for me"

"No... What do you want her for?"

"Safaree please, I promise I'll behave"

"Alright I'll be back"

"No.... Girl time. Just send Nika"

[ Nickis POV ]

I'm in the bathroom changing my shirt when Safaree just walks in.

"Nigga you remember how to knock?" I asked with attitude

"Baby why you upset?"

"My little brother likes you more than he likes me, Ayden keeps throwing up on me and your mom still hates me" I said sounding defeated.

"Speaking of my mom, she wants to speak with you"

I walked out of the bathroom and just looked at him, I really don't have time for this.

"I have to feed my babies" I said

"Nic... I can do it! Just go talk to her"

"Safaree what exactly are you gonna feed them?"

He laughed realizing she has to feed them

"Alright but after please give her a chance to say whatever she feels she needs to" he walked out after handing me Aryanna but not before kissing her all over her face and saying he loved her of course.

[ no POV ]

"Cristina, nigga!"

"What's good Gali?"

"I got on my knee to ask her today you know that?"

"WHAT DID SHE SAY!?"

"I just started to tie my shoe and stood up..." She slapped him

"YOU KNOW TECHNICALLY I CAN HIT YOU BACK RIGHT!?" he said holding his face

"Safaree you better not even think about it" Carol said walking into the room

"Help me start dinner while we talk son"

"Okay, can you pass me that knife so I can start citing everything?"

About 20 minutes into the conversation SB just blurted out that he wanted to marry Nic and didn't want to wait any longer

"Well Safaree, you have my blessing"

"Mine too" his mother said walking into the kitchen and joining the conversation as they both turned around shocked.

"This was the problem last time, just because everyone else says yes doesn't mean it's what Nic wants" Lauren said also jumping in the conversation

"I don't think this house is big enough" Safaree said looking at Carol and they all laughed then Caiah stuck his head in the door

"What y'all laughing about?" He asked and took a seat at the table

"Little man I'm gonna do it" SB smiled at him

"ONIKA GET DOWN HERE RIGHT NOW" he yelled and SBs eyes went buck but before he could say anything Nic pushed through the kitchen doors.

"You did NOT just call me Onika" she said obviously annoyed.

"Nicki......" She heard Safaree say in a low voice, she slowly turned around and looked for him. She noticed he was on one knee.

"Onika, we been through so much together and it's been a fun ride, pauz. But I can't see myself with anyone BUT you. You were my first everything, first friend, first best friend, first love. I honestly wouldn't re do a thing. The only thing in this world that can make me a happier man is if you Onika Tanya Maraj did me the honor of being my wife"
