Our Little Secret

Fifty-Nine

|Two Months Later|

"I'm finally out that hell hole," Meek said, getting into the car with Na.

"I know. How do you feel?" Na smiled, driving away.

Meek chuckled. "Shit.. I feel real good. I finally get to see my kids and get my wife back."

"Nicki is pregnant," Na told him.

He scrunched his face up. "Pregnant? How if I been locked up for two years?"

"That's what I said," Na said, shaking her head.

"Maaaan.. I'm killing somebody today."

Na laughed. "Woah.. chill out. I'm just playing. She's not pregnant."

"Better not be."

They pulled up to Na's house and went inside. Meek got settled and showered and cut his hair. Then, he made a few calls.

"You took forever," Na said.

"Yeah, yeah. Take me to my house."

Na nodded and they left. The drive was long, but not too long. Getting out, Meek looked around and smiled. Putting in the code to the gate, they walked up and Meek got the spare key out of the mailbox. He unlocked the door and looked around, seeing nothing but furniture.

"Damn, it don't look like nothing been touched."

"It hasn't. Nicki moved across town with the kids and the pets," Na said, walking in, looking around.

He looked at her. "Is she free today?"

"Most likely. I'll give you her address."

Na wrote the address down on a piece of paper, then hugged Meek. He hugged her back and smiled.

"See you later, brother. Make things right with Nicki. I miss y'all."

"I will," he chuckled. "See you."

She left and Meek sighed, grabbing his keys. He went out to the garage, getting in his Wraith. Leaving out, he drove to Nicki's house.

"Ayane, stop hitting him," Nicki said, looking at Ayane sternly.

"Him hit me first, Mommy!"

Rihmeek frowned. "Nuh uh! She hit me in my face!"

"Okay, both of y'all sit down and watch TV. I shouldn't have to keep repeating myself."

They both sat down beside Asami. Nicki sighed and went into the kitchen to cook their lunch. After about fifteen minutes, she cut the stove off and went to open the door. Going to the door, she opened it and her heart dropped.

"Meek?"

"Wassup?" He smiled.

He leaned in for a kiss, but Nicki moved back. Meek frowned, looking at her. Nicki let him in and the kids looked at him, smiling.

"Daddy!"

They all ran over, hugging his legs, making him smile. He chuckled, picking them up. Nicki went into the kitchen, fixing their plates. Meek put them down and they went into the kitchen. Hearing the doorbell, Nicki silently cursed in her head. She went to the front door and opened it, seeing Justin.

"Hey, baby," he smiled.

"Hey," Nicki said awkwardly, letting him in.

Meek looked over and Justin kissed Nicki. Nicki pulled away, then cleared her throat, looking towards Meek, who held an unreadable expression.

"Oh.. um.. Justin, this is Meek.. their father. Meek.. this is my boyfriend, Justin," she said, sheepishly.

"Ya boyfriend?" Meek chuckled. "He know you married?"

Nicki looked at Meek. "Yes, and he also knows that we're separated."

"Just two months ago, you was telling me that we could work shit out," Meek said.

"I know, and I'm sorry, but I'm happy, Meek. Be happy for me."

Meek chuckled angrily, looking at her.

"Ard.. I'll be happy for you. Have a nice lil life with that nigga. Let me go before I say something disrespectful."

He walked into the kitchen to tell the kids bye and Nicki sighed.

"I should just go. We can do something tomorrow."

"No, please stay. The kids are excited that you're taking them to Disneyland. Don't let this bring our mood down, babe."

Justin sighed. "Okay."

He pecked Nicki's lips and looked up as Meek came out of the kitchen. He walked out, slamming the door, and soon, they heard tires screeching. Shaking her head, Nicki sighed and went upstairs.

"Meek, what do you want?" Tianna asked, rolling her eyes.

"I need to talk to you."

Tianna huffed, letting him into her house. She closed the door and turned around. Meek stared at her for a few seconds before backing her into the door, kissing her. She was caught off guard, but eventually, she kissed back. Meek picked her up, kissing her deeply.

"Wait, Meek," Tianna said, pulling away. "What's wrong? Why are you here?"

"I'm broken, T. I don't know who really here for me and who not," he sighed, looking at her.

She frowned. "Meek, it's okay. You're never alone. I'm here for you, okay? I always have been."

He leaned in, kissing her again before carrying her upstairs to her bedroom.

"You good?" Meek chuckled, watching Tianna limp up the steps of his mother's porch.

"Yes," she laughed.

She knocked on the door, then rubbed on her stomach, sighing. Meek stood behind her, kissing on her neck. The door opened and Meek looked up, seeing Kathy smiling at them.

"Oh my goodness. Are you two back together?"

"I don't know," Tianna smiled. "Hopefully this lasts forever, though."

Meek chuckled. They went inside and he looked around. Kathy walked over, hugging him.

"Welcome home."

"Thanks, ma. How you feeling?"

She gave him a soft smile. "A lot better. I haven't been in the hospital recently."

"That's good. Can I use your phone? I gotta make a few calls," he told her.

She nodded, handing it over to him. Meek licked his lips, walking into another room. He called a few places so that he could get his cars, his houses, and a new phone. Once he finished, he walked back out and handed it to Kathy.

"Thanks, ma," he said.

"You're welcome, baby. I'm so glad you're not with that Nicki girl anymore," she told him.

He chuckled. "Ain't nobody stunting her ass. She ain't even hold me down while I was in jail. Tianna came to see me more than my own wife did."

"Well, Meek, you did put your hands on her.." Tianna said, looking at him.

"Tianna, hush child. Come in here and help me cook dinner," Kathy said, getting up.

Tianna nodded, following her into the kitchen. They cooked while Meek relaxed on the couch, thinking about everything. Nicki was the love of his life and the mother of his children. He just couldn't believe that after everything they'd been through, Nicki decided to leave him high and dry.

He shook his head and leaned his head on his hand, closing his eyes.
