*NOTE* from now on the story will be starting from the beginning. Safaree 16 and Nic 14. i hope you guys like it. feel free to comment with whatever. i'll take anything pinions, ideas, criticism lol. anywhore here it goes.

   14 year old Onika was sitting in her small bedroom doing her math assignment as she listened to all the commotion from her father downstairs. He was doing a drug deal with his friends, and frankly Nicki was sick of it. But there was nothing she could do to stop it. She continued to listen as she heard footsteps coming up the stairs. They were heavy footsteps. Her father Robert was very abusive. Physically and Mentally. suddenly she became frightened as she back up towards her head board. The door swung open and it was one of her father's friends. Lionel.
   "hey sexy" he said as he licked his lips, lounging towards her. "word on the street is that you a whore, so I know you know how to please me."
    "NO! please don't. please" little Nicki cried, tears pouring from her eyes.
    Lionel grabbed her and pulled her to the edge of the bed. He began forcefully ripping her close off, leaving the terrified little girl shaking and naked. He pulled off her pants and his boxers, taking out his manhood. He held her thighs tightly to the bed as he entered her with full force.
    "STOP! please. why are you doing this to me." she croaked, but no one came. "Someone please help me. please. "DAD! someone please." her cries suddenly stopped when Lionel took her math text book and beat her until she was unconscious.
    "That ought to shut you up til i'm finished, Little bitch."

   Hours later Nicki woke up with the headache of life. she could hardly move as her still naked body was sore from the evenings events. She slowly sat up, her headache worsening. She examined her body. Blood was everywhere and she had bruises all over. She looked at the clock, it was 8:30. Her mother being a nurses aide, wouldn't get off until 11. Nicki tried with all her strength to stand and walk to the shower, bringing the sheets and clothes with her to throw in the washer.
   "Ow.." she sobbed silently to herself.
  Finally making it to the shower she turned the water on and got in. She stood in the luke warm water crying. It didn't seem real. She couldn't believe such an horrific event had just happened to her.
  Once out of the shower, she put on some sweats and a tank top before slowly walking to her bed. she climbed in and grabbed her pillow. She squeezed it tight as she cried, trying to cover up the pain. Before long she was asleep, afraid to face whats to come next.

--

3 months later she woke around 4am. She dashed to the bathroom throwing up what seemed like everything she had eaten for the last week. Nicki began to cry knowing what this meant.
  "I know i'm pregnant," she said to herself as she continued to sob. "This can't be happening to me. What am I going to do with a baby." She looked up to the ceiling the tears streaming. "God how could let this happen to me."
   Finally stopping the constant vomiting, she went back into her room. It was now 5:30 and her alarm would be going off in 15 minutes. She knew Safaree was already up. So she decided to call him. Her eyes blurred from the crying, she struggled to find his number.
  "Nicki. Babe are you okay? Why are you crying," he whispered sympathetically down the phone.

  "Faree.." she continued to sob. "Faree I I..... I think I'm pre preg," she choked as she tried to get her words out, before whispering "pregnant."

 "Oh my god Nic.."

 "Faree I need you. Please can you come pick me up?"

  Seeing as they had to go to school anyways, Safaree came and picked her up so she could get ready at his house, with him and Nina.

 "yeah babe, i'm coming now."

  Nicki hung up the phone as she threw on some jeans, vans, and a hoodie.

  "Ugh, I'll just wear this to school."

   Safaree pulled up by the sidewalk as he waited for Nicki. She walked down the stairs careful not to wake her pregnant mother or her drug addicted father. She slowly open the door, shut it, and headed for his car. Tears started forming as she shut the car door and buckled up.

  "Come here babe. I got you," Safaree whispered as he wrapped his arms around her.

  They sat there for a good 30 minutes as she sobbed into his chest. She couldn't believe she was about to be a mother.

  "Why don't we take you to the health clinic to be 100% sure you're pregnant." Safaree suggested as he released Nicki and started up the engine.

  "Now?" Nicki whispered.

  "Yeah why not. It's early. We'll make it before homeroom ends, so we'll be a little late.

  "Okay." she said as they turned to look out the window.

--

 Nicki and Safaree walked into the health clinic. It was still very early so only a few people were there. They approached the receptionist.

 "Hello, what can I do for you two?" she said sweetly.

 "We need a pregnancy test done, and probably a check up." Safaree answered.

 "Okay, well i'll need one of you to fill out her information and someone should be right with you."

 "Thank You."

 Safaree took the clipboard and lead Nicki to sit down. She watched him intently as he filled out everything. They had been friends for so long, dating for about a year. He finished and took the clipboard back up.

*10 minutes later*

"Onika Maraj" a tall slender black woman called out.

They got up and walked towards her. Safaree took Nicki's shaking hand into his as they continued to follow the woman into the ultrasound room.

"Onika I'm going to need to do a urine test to see if you're pregnant or not. So i'll leave you to do that. I'll return in 5 minutes with Dr. Smith."

"Okay Thank You," she whispered shyly.

 The woman left and Nicki made her way to the restroom. When she returned she waited anxiously for the Dr and nurses aide to return.

"Onika darling, are you done?"

"Yes."

"Well I'm Dr. Smith." the kind woman closed the door and extended her hand to shake. "and who are you?" she asked looking towards Safaree.

"I'm Safaree." He extended his hand and shook hers.

"Pleased to meet you both." she said sweetly. "Well we've sent the test to be done and should know in about 10 minutes. But honey you look quite young to be in here for a pregnancy test." she asked concerned, getting the impression that Nicki wouldn't sleep around.

"It's not what you think," Nicki whispered looking down.

"Alright honey, I won't push the subject, I just needed some type of answer, and that was plenty" she said as she saw the tears coming down into Nicki's lap.

Safaree rubbed her back in small circles as the doctor asked  her questions and explained the procedure to her if she was pregnant. The nurses aide walked in with the results, handing them to the doctor and silently walking back out.

"Well Onika, honey you are definitely pregnant, so i'm going to performed an ultrasound, is that okay?"

"Yes Ma'am" she answered shyly as the tears began to pour.

The doctor set everything up. She lifted Nicki hoodie and put some warm gel on her. She placed the probe down and began to look at the screen intently. Scrunching up her face, she turned to face Nicki.

"Onika, sweetie you're 12 weeks pregnant with what seems to me to be twins."

"Oh my god," she whispered, starring at the screen with her hand over her mouth. "Oh my god, Oh my god, Oh my god," she continued to say.

"With a multiple pregnancy, and your tiny frame, my suggestion is that you go home for the day and rest. I am also going to write you a doctors note for you to take online classes because you also have low iron. You're not confined to bed rest yet, but eventually you will because of your iron levels."

 Nicki and Safaree sat there taking it all in. The doctor gave them some prescriptions and sent them on their way.
