--I see you guys! Don’t think I don’t! I know about Picture Perfect, thing w. that is, it doesn’t really have a storyline anymore so it’d just be a lot of random little skits with the family... If that’s what y’all want, I’ll be more than happy to write it. But I need suggestions (i.e : Holiday, Nicki & Drake’s Wedding, Josiah learns to walk, Ava get sick..etc. etc.)
Since I'm doing this for YOU, leave what YOU want to see in a comment below
PS. Should I create a whole new blog for it? Ya know, to make it easier?

I Miss You - Part One
“Stop it Aubrey!” Nicki giggled as Drake wrestled her to the grass in the park over her bag of chips. She held the chips above her head as he pinned her by her waist to the ground. “Someone’s going to see!” She screamed as he tried to move up her body and reach for the chips.
“So!” Drake laughed, grabbing for the Bon Ton bag. Nicki tossed the chip bag with one hand and used all the strength she had to shift the dominance. She now straddled drake, holding his arms above his head, she thought she was doing something, but come on now, she’s only 5’2.
“I got you.” She spoke victoriously, laughing in Drake’s face.
“You got me.” Drake licked his lips, smirking at Nicki. “What now?” He questioned. Nicki bit her bottom lip, while moving in on Drake’s lips to place a soft kiss onto them. “Love you.” He spoke in between the kisses.
“I love you too.” Nicki groaned nibbling on his bottom lip. He smiled against her lips, and turned them over so that he was on top. “Don’t forget about me Aubrey.” Nicki spoke as he kissed down her neckline.
“I could never forget about yo sexy ass.” Drake joked wiggling his eyebrows, making Nicki screech in laughter. She always found that funny because of his bushy brows.
“Don’t get to Florida and try to replace me.” Nicki spoke seriously placing her hand under Drake’s chin, making him look into her eyes.
“Nobody could ever take your place Nic.” He spoke honestly, kissing her forehead, then rolling off of her to try his hand at getting the chips. But as soon as he went to stand up, Nicki was on his back.
----
“Congrats graduate!” Carol smiled at her daughter as Nicki unzipped her gown walking over to them. She snapped an unposed picture of Nicki before grabbing her face and kissing her cheek.
“Thanks Mommy.” Today was bittersweet day for both Nicki and Drake. They would both be heading out tomorrow to different parts of the country to start college life. Carol insisted that Nicki go in the next few months to give herself a break, but Nicki wanted to get started right away so that she could figure out how life would be in California. Drake had no choice in the matter, preseason football conditioning started today so he would be shipped off to Florida.
“We did it!” Nicki was swept off her feet by Drake as she squealed, he picked her up bridal style in his arms as their parents took pictures of the two. “Congratulations Ms. Valedictorian.” Drake kissed her cheek.
“Thank you kindly.” She smirked at him as she caressed his cheek. “I love it when you don’t shave. My little caveman.” She kissed his chin.
“Eww, y’all are scaring the children!” Shanell’s loud voice interrupted their moment, making Nicki smack her teeth and Drake put her down. Nicki hadn’t even noticed her mother had left, she didn’t even hear when she said she was leaving she was so engrossed in Drake.
“...And I would like to say fuck this school! Fuck the teachers! Fuck administration! Fuck that bitch ass uniform policy! Whoever made up the SAT’s I would like to say Suck a big black dick! Fuck the bitch ass nurse, everytime a nigga faked sick she ain’t want to let me go home, she knew what the fuck I was trying to do! Fuck you very much! Scaffbeezy OWT!” Nicki shook her head as the teachers who were still around looked at Safaree with wide eyes and the parents mumbled about him as he walked over to their small group.
“You fowl man.” Drake said giving him dap.
“Nigga, that’s not something to praise.” Nicki said breaking up their little handshake.
“I can’t stand your ignorant ass.” Shanell began.
“You love me.” Safaree said wrapping his arm around Shanell’s shoulder.
“In your dreams!” She shrugged his shoulder off and pushed him away from him. Nobody understood why she would always hide her attraction to Safaree, everyone knew she like him. Nicki was the only person she’d ever admitted it to though.
“You were in them.”
“Let’s get out of here.” Drake whispered in Nicki’s ear as he grabbed her hand. Nicki chuckled and agreed.
“Fuck Nigga! Get off of me. We all know you been touchin yoself!” That was the last thing Nicki and Drake heard from Shanell as they walked out of the auditorium.
------
Nicki held onto Drake’s torso for dear life as she cried into his shirt at the airport. She felt like he was about to rip her heart out of her chest. As far as she was concerned, half of her heart was about to board a plane and fly to the other side of the country. Drake held her tight to him as he was rethinking his whole decision on leaving altogether. Nicki was the one for him, he knew that this could potentially be the end of their 5 year relationship. No matter how many times Sandi fed him ‘If it’s true love, she’ll always be there’ , he knew the reality of the situation.
Boarding flight 57 to Los Angeles
Nicki’s flight was called making her clutch onto Drake’s shirt tighter. “Don’t let me go baby.”She sobbed. She meant in way more ways than one and Drake could tell by the conviction in her voice.
“I got you mama.” Nicki moved her face from his shirt, looking up at him. Drake wiped at her eyes with his thumbs, then placing a sweet kiss on her lips.
“Pink promise.” Nicki held up her tiny pinky. Drake matched it with his before wrapping it around her.
“Pinky Promise.” Nicki answered. She backed away from Drake hugging her parents and her brother’s once more.
Last call for flight 57 to Los Angeles
Nicki grabbed her bags, ready to leave. “Nic!” Drake called out. She turned around to him. “I love you.” He told her setting her emotions off again. Boarding the plane, by herself, Nicki wondered how she was going to survive a life without Drake. Drake turned his face from his family, as he wiped his face with his shirt, not wanting them to see the falling tears.
“I’m saying thou-” Nicki was cut off when she bumped into a tall figure while walking to her class with her roommate Amber. Nicki and Drake spoke everyday on the phone when they first got to their colleges, now it was more like 2 times a week if they were lucky. They still loved each other, but college life is time consuming. “Excuse me.” Nicki said walking around the guy.
“He was cute girl.” Amber nudged Nicki making Nicki look back at the guy. He was sexy, chiseled features, mocha colored skin, dreads to the center of his back. Still, he didn’t compare to her Aubrey. “C’mon Ms. Nicki Minaj,” Nicki had gained the name because some guy in her Psyc class, caught on to the fact her name was Maraj and switched it. It kind of stuck after that. “You haven’t touched one piece of sexy flesh since you’ve been here.”
“I have a boyfriend.” Nicki flashed her promise ring as the two walked into the hall. “I plan to have one when I get back for break.” Nicki told her.
“You don’t say, there’s still good girls in the world today.” Amber said as the two looked for a seat, they chose the back. Quiet as kept, Nicki needed some attention and Drake wasn’t giving it to her. Things weren’t peachy over at FSU either. With Drake being a Freshman, but managed to become what of the starter playes, he was looking real good for drafting season, and every girl wanted a piece of him.
“So!” Drake laughed, grabbing for the Bon Ton bag. Nicki tossed the chip bag with one hand and used all the strength she had to shift the dominance. She now straddled drake, holding his arms above his head, she thought she was doing something, but come on now, she’s only 5’2.

Early Days
So.... Little nugget of information about me.. I like COMMENTS! W/ that being said I WON’T post the 2nd half of ‘The Real Deal’ until I’M satisfied w. the commentary. Thank You && Enjoy.
Don’t ask me what’s the point of this One Shot cause I honestly don’t know lol.
“Wassup, I’m Nicki Minaj and you’re watching the Come Up.” Nicki rolled her eyes at Wayne as he mocked her in his best Queens accent. All of YMCMB was sitting in the green room of a show that they just did. No one was ready to go home so they just chilled out there. Nicki sat on the couch along with Chuckee, Streetz and Wayne. While everyone else was standing up walking around, besides Drake, he was talking to a few fans outside. Apparently, it was pick on Nicki day.
“I did not sound like that.” Nicki denied flipping her bob.
“Yes you did!” Shanell pointed at her and started laughing. “Yo hood ass.”
“Whatever y’all.” Nicki waved them off. “Where’s Drake?” She questioned looking around.
“And she say she ain’t feelin the boy.” Gudda laughed as him and Tyga dapped agreeing Nicki did have feelings for Drake even though she denied it.
“He out there talking to some fans.” Twist answered sitting on the counter of the sink. Soon as he said that Drake walked in on the phone.
“Jimmy!” Chuckee said lifting up his arms. Drake nodded at him before going in the corner to continue his phone conversation. Nicki’s eyes studied his cool demeanor. Damn, he was sexy. There was no denying that. He had been working out lately and judging by the black crew neck he was wearing, it was doing some good.
“Nic, you not gone beat his ass. Probably talking to some bitch on the phone.” Streetz joked nudging her.
“Drake know what it is.” Nicki joked back with a lick of the lips.
“Oh?” Shanell raised her brow at Nicki causing her to chuckle lazily.
“I wouldn’t be surprised if they was fuckin.” Wayne shrugged and Nicki punched him on his arm. He moved away from her rubbing the spot. Drake got off the phone and sat in Wayne’s previous spot next to Nicki pulling her in for a hug. “But she get mad at me when I say they fuckin.” Wayne muttered.
“Who you was on the phone with?” Nicki asked looking up at Drake. The whole room was silent trying to figure out how this was going to go down.
“40.” He answered simply. “Don’t worry baby, you the only woman in my life.” Drake licked his bottom lip making Nicki blush and roll her eyes all at the same time. Nicki had to admit, the constant flirting was wearing on her a bit. She could see herself actually being with Drake it was just risky with both of them just starting in the game. Drake having more buzz than Nicki, it might seem like she was just using him to get on and she wanted to be known for her talent rather than who she was dating.
“You shoulda heard Barbie in here. She was about to beat yo ass if you was on the phone with another girl.” Baby said coyly smoking on one of his cigars.
“Oh word?” Drake questioned looking down at Nicki
“I was JOKING!” She defended. Tonight was definitely pick on Nicki night. Everyone in the room side eyed Nicki. “Whatever. I’m ready to leave.” Nicki said standing up and turning around to grab her bag.
“Nell you leave too, we ‘bout to invite some strippers over here.” Chuckee nudged her and Mack popped him the back of the head. “Damn, a nigga can’t have no fun?” Chuckee mumbled. Nicki knew that there was a possibility that they would invite some girls in once her and Shanell was gone. No, that was not going to fly with her.
“Drake, can you take me home? My driver was being a dick earlier.” She was lying but he didn’t need to know that. He nodded and stood up grabbing her hand.
“Bullshit!” Streetz said in the form of a cough. Nicki flipped her middle finger at him. Nicki hugged everybody in the room and Drake dapped everyone up before him and Nicki made their way to his Bentley, him opening the door for her of course and getting in himself.
“So how’s life been Ms. Nicki Minaj?” Drake questioned as he began to drive towards Nicki’s house.
“I can’t complain.” She shrugged. Drake looked over at her as she smoothes her lipstick on her lips.
“That’s real nice color on you. Makes your lips... sexy as fuck.” He licked his lips and Ncik did all she could to suppress the moisture going on in her panties.
“Why do you do that?”
“What?” Drake furrowed his brows.
“You know what you do, you just did it.” Nicki said rolling her eyes. She looked down at her lap as she smiled to herself. Drake was the only one that made her feel like a little girl, all giddy inside.
“You think I be playin’ Nic. I love you.” Drake said honestly.
“You don’t--”
“I do.” He interrupted her. “I know you think I just be bullshitin and talkin’ but I would marry you. Memba that day I came to your room trying to give you Chinese food?”
“You’re going to hold that over my head forever aren’t you?” She giggled.
“You slammed the door in my face. I knew right then and there I would make you mine.”
“You haven’t got that far sir.” Nicki said as Drake pulled into her driveway. She looked up at her house then over to Drake. She said a little prayer to herself before leaning over and placing a kiss on his lips. “But you’re getting closer.” Drake was shocked, he didn’t know what to do. “Thanks.” Nicki said stepping out of the car.

The Real Deal Pt. 1
Ok so since, I don't know what direction I want to go in with Tower Of Us, I'll post one shots until i can make up my mind.
17 year old Nicki sat in her room listening to Me’shell Ndegeocello ‘Fool Of Me’ as the rain against her window put her at ease. Nicki’s heart was as heavy as the clouds that sat high in the sky. “Nika.” Nicki lifted her head that was buried into her pillow, revealing her puffy eyes, her hair swirling around her hair, and red face. Jelani made a ‘yikes’ face and Nicki picked up her pillow throwing it at the door.
“Get out of my room!” She screamed to her older brother.
“Calm down.” He said before closing the door and making his way over to her bed to sit on the side of it. “I’m not saying this as your older brother Nic, you’re a beautiful girl and you can have any guy you want.”
“I don’t want any guy, I want Drake.” She sobbed.
“Well obviously Drake doesn’t want you.” He snickered. Nicki kicked his back pushing him off her bed.
“Get out. Get out now. MA!” At the sound of his mother’s name Jelani got up and went over to the door.
“Seriously Nicki, don’t be in here crying all day like your life is over.” Jelani said before exiting the teenage girl’s room. Nicki screamed out to no one in particular. She’d always laugh at girls like this. That put their all into a boy and then end up at home crying their heart out, but she was now that girl. She hated Drake. Hate was an understatement at this point. She used to be the girl in school that everyone envied, come tomorrow she’ll be the one they all laugh at. When Aubrey decided that he wanted to become a rapper, Nicki was the one that stood by him, helping him get studio time at her uncle’s studio, going to every showcase he had, being the one he tested his raps out on. She was his ride or die and killed him that he would step on her as soon as he made it big.
Waking up, she just expected to go on twitter and talk to her friends until she saw the trending topic #DrakesNewGirl and it got her blood boiling. She quickly went onto MTO and saw the pictures of HER Drake and some video vixen all hugged up at some party. What killed her is she hadn’t talked to Drake in over 2 weeks, he hadn’t even attempted to call her, but she chose to give him the benefit of the doubt, deciding he was probably just busy. Her heart was officially broken, right before her eighteenth birthday which was tomorrow. He probably forgot. Nicki looked at the clock that read 11:30. Ever since they were 12 they would call each other at 12 on the dot and tell each other happy birthday and either Drake would rap for Nicki or Nicki sing for Drake, an original song that they’d make up.
Nicki cut off her Ipod and pulled her blankets over her head deciding to go to sleep. Happy birthday to her.
Waking up, Nicki dragged herself from bed, she grabbed her phone, and like she knew it, Drake hadn’t sent anything and she didn’t have not one missed call from him. She had loads of others but not the one person that mattered. After showering, she got dressed in a Pink Hollister sweat suit , paired with her black and pink Air Jordans. She put her hair up into a high bun. She grabbed her bag, phone and keys before exiting her room. “HAPPY BIRTHDAY!” She walked out and her little brother Micaiah ran over hugging her legs.
“Thanks lambchop.” She picked him up and kissed his cheek and carried him down the stairs into the kitchen.
“Morning birthday girl.” Robert kissed his daughter’s forehead followed by Carol who held out a small gift bag. Nicki gave a one dimple smile and sat her brother to his feet before sitting at the counter and pulling out its contents.
“Aww, thank you Mommy and Daddy.” She smiled at the Gucci Gift card she knew she would be using soon. She pulled out the next thing which was a new cellphone case to her Iphone. Next was one thing that Carol and Robert thought Nicki was going to be jumping out of her seat for. She pulled out a plane ticket to LA and frowned. “What’s this for?”
“You’re always begging us to let you go see Drake...sooo.” Carol hinted. Not wanting to get them worried Nicki smiled and kissed both of them on the cheek.
“Thanks. I really appreciate it.” Nicki said. Carol gave Robert a look, they knew something was up but they wouldn’t speak on it. She placed her things back into the gift bag just as Jelani came into the kitchen dressed for school. She was still mad at him from lastnight, so she didn’t speak when he said ‘Happy Birthday’.
“I know. I know.” Jelani said before digging in his book bag and pulling out a Tiffany’s box. Nicki’s eyes widened as he slid it across the counter to her. She opened it and her smile widened. “I know I give you a hard time sometimes, but you’re my little sister and I love you Nic.” The whole kitchen awwd at him as Nicki held out the necklace and he came over helping her clasp it.
“Thanks ‘Lani. I love you too.” She hugged him, just as her phone rung. It was her friends asking where she was. “I have to go. I love y’all. And don’t worry Ma I’ll pick up something to eat on the way.” She said before Carol could open her mouth.
Nicki walked through the halls getting ‘happy birthdays’ from mostly everyone. Lauren walked beside her as they went to Nicki’s locker. “Maybe it wasn’t as it seemed Nic.” Lauren said.
“What? Did he fall on her?” Nicki questioned sarcastically opening her locker for a card and a rose to fall out. She knelt down and picked up the rose sitting it in her locker and grabbing the card, opening it.
Nicki rolled her eyes and gave the card to Lauren for her to read. “Aww, how cute?”
“Not hardly.” Nicki said grabbing her books and placing the card back into her locker. “He wants to act like he’s not out parading around with some hoe? I’m just supposed to always be here while he’s out fucking whatevers walking? I’m supposed to be all giddy cause there’s a note in my locker that he more than likely had Caleb or one of them write to slip into my locker?” Nicki questioned sarcastically.
“How you feeling Onika? Heard about Drake moving on to the next hoe.” Just when she thought things couldn’t get any worse, Bianca comes blowing her stink breath in Nicki’s direction.
“Not today. I really feel like killing someone right now and you lookin real tempting.” Nicki warned grabbing Lauren’s arm who looked like she was ready to fight on Nicki’s behalf at any moment.
“I was just--”
“Look Bitch. She said move, I suggest you do it while you still have feet.” Lauren warned glaring at Bianca. Bianca rolled her eyes before leaving. “Bum Bitch.” Lauren scoffed.
“I owe you one.” Nicki told Lauren. Her classes went like this, people making side comments all day, making her despise Drake even more. Nicki, Amber, Lauren and Shanell walked into the Caf and all eyes were on them. “What the fuck?” Nicki questioned, wanting this day to be over more than anything. After getting their trays, they all sat at a table towards the back of the Caf, which was their usual table. They would be what you’d consider ‘popular’ around the school.
“Guess what ‘Lani did toda-” Nicki stopped mid sentence when she heard screams erupt through the caf, last time that happened they were announcing the senior trip to London 3 months ago. Now it’s even more chaos than then, with people standing on top of tables to get a better look. Amber, being the ratchet girl she is stood on the table jumping up and down to see what the hype was about.
“Nic, get yo ass up here now.” Amber said in pure shock. Lauren, Nic and Shanell all climbed on top of the table to see Drake at the front of the cafeteria, with his security talking to the administrators. He’s the last person Nicki wanted to see. When he spotted her on top of the table, he smiled but was confused when she didn’t return the gesture. When administration handed him the mic, Nicki folded her arms across her chest glaring at him.
“Hey y’all.” He spoke and the crowd went wild. A single voice yelling out ‘Take ME NOW!’ Nicki shook her head. “So there’s this girl I love. She just turned 18 today and.... I know I didn’t get to call her last night, BUT I worked my ass-- butt off to get here and do this for her. So here’s to you Onika.” The whole caf turned to look at her as she shook her head. The beat to a song dropped.
“I know a lot of girls be, thinking my songs are about them, this is not to get confused, this one’s for you.” He started to walk through the crowd to get to Nicki. “Baby you my everything, you all I ever wanted, we could do it real big, bigger than you ever done it, you be up on everything.” He was halfway through the crowd with girls screaming his name and clawing on his clothes. “Other hoes ain’t never on it.” Nicki scoffed at that line. Riiiight, she thought. Shanell nudged Nicki as Drake was only feet away from their table. “I want Nicki forever, I swear I could spend whatever on her, cause she hold me down, everytime I hit her up.” Nicki’s eyes began to water as he reached out to take her hand. She placed it in his and he helped her down from the table. “When I get right I promise that we got we gon live it up. She make me beg for until she give it up, and I say the same thing every single time..” He lifted her chin up so she was looking at him, her arms still crossed and her eyes glossy. “Baby you da best.” He leaned in for a kiss but she moved her head away from him and rushed out of the Caf.
Leaving confused peers, confused friends and an even more and hurt Drake behind.
-I wrote this awhile back && just found it!! I never really liked it, but hey maybe one of you might enjoy it...
I wish today it would rain all day, maybe that’ll kind of make the pain go away, trynna forgive you for abandonin’ me
-Onika Maraj ("Fly")
17 year old Nicki sat in her room listening to Me’shell Ndegeocello ‘Fool Of Me’ as the rain against her window put her at ease. Nicki’s heart was as heavy as the clouds that sat high in the sky. “Nika.” Nicki lifted her head that was buried into her pillow, revealing her puffy eyes, her hair swirling around her hair, and red face. Jelani made a ‘yikes’ face and Nicki picked up her pillow throwing it at the door.
“Get out of my room!” She screamed to her older brother.
“Calm down.” He said before closing the door and making his way over to her bed to sit on the side of it. “I’m not saying this as your older brother Nic, you’re a beautiful girl and you can have any guy you want.”
“I don’t want any guy, I want Drake.” She sobbed.
“Well obviously Drake doesn’t want you.” He snickered. Nicki kicked his back pushing him off her bed.
“Get out. Get out now. MA!” At the sound of his mother’s name Jelani got up and went over to the door.
“Seriously Nicki, don’t be in here crying all day like your life is over.” Jelani said before exiting the teenage girl’s room. Nicki screamed out to no one in particular. She’d always laugh at girls like this. That put their all into a boy and then end up at home crying their heart out, but she was now that girl. She hated Drake. Hate was an understatement at this point. She used to be the girl in school that everyone envied, come tomorrow she’ll be the one they all laugh at. When Aubrey decided that he wanted to become a rapper, Nicki was the one that stood by him, helping him get studio time at her uncle’s studio, going to every showcase he had, being the one he tested his raps out on. She was his ride or die and killed him that he would step on her as soon as he made it big.
Waking up, she just expected to go on twitter and talk to her friends until she saw the trending topic #DrakesNewGirl and it got her blood boiling. She quickly went onto MTO and saw the pictures of HER Drake and some video vixen all hugged up at some party. What killed her is she hadn’t talked to Drake in over 2 weeks, he hadn’t even attempted to call her, but she chose to give him the benefit of the doubt, deciding he was probably just busy. Her heart was officially broken, right before her eighteenth birthday which was tomorrow. He probably forgot. Nicki looked at the clock that read 11:30. Ever since they were 12 they would call each other at 12 on the dot and tell each other happy birthday and either Drake would rap for Nicki or Nicki sing for Drake, an original song that they’d make up.
Nicki cut off her Ipod and pulled her blankets over her head deciding to go to sleep. Happy birthday to her.
Waking up, Nicki dragged herself from bed, she grabbed her phone, and like she knew it, Drake hadn’t sent anything and she didn’t have not one missed call from him. She had loads of others but not the one person that mattered. After showering, she got dressed in a Pink Hollister sweat suit , paired with her black and pink Air Jordans. She put her hair up into a high bun. She grabbed her bag, phone and keys before exiting her room. “HAPPY BIRTHDAY!” She walked out and her little brother Micaiah ran over hugging her legs.
“Thanks lambchop.” She picked him up and kissed his cheek and carried him down the stairs into the kitchen.
“Morning birthday girl.” Robert kissed his daughter’s forehead followed by Carol who held out a small gift bag. Nicki gave a one dimple smile and sat her brother to his feet before sitting at the counter and pulling out its contents.
“Aww, thank you Mommy and Daddy.” She smiled at the Gucci Gift card she knew she would be using soon. She pulled out the next thing which was a new cellphone case to her Iphone. Next was one thing that Carol and Robert thought Nicki was going to be jumping out of her seat for. She pulled out a plane ticket to LA and frowned. “What’s this for?”
“You’re always begging us to let you go see Drake...sooo.” Carol hinted. Not wanting to get them worried Nicki smiled and kissed both of them on the cheek.
“Thanks. I really appreciate it.” Nicki said. Carol gave Robert a look, they knew something was up but they wouldn’t speak on it. She placed her things back into the gift bag just as Jelani came into the kitchen dressed for school. She was still mad at him from lastnight, so she didn’t speak when he said ‘Happy Birthday’.
“I know. I know.” Jelani said before digging in his book bag and pulling out a Tiffany’s box. Nicki’s eyes widened as he slid it across the counter to her. She opened it and her smile widened. “I know I give you a hard time sometimes, but you’re my little sister and I love you Nic.” The whole kitchen awwd at him as Nicki held out the necklace and he came over helping her clasp it.
“Thanks ‘Lani. I love you too.” She hugged him, just as her phone rung. It was her friends asking where she was. “I have to go. I love y’all. And don’t worry Ma I’ll pick up something to eat on the way.” She said before Carol could open her mouth.
Nicki walked through the halls getting ‘happy birthdays’ from mostly everyone. Lauren walked beside her as they went to Nicki’s locker. “Maybe it wasn’t as it seemed Nic.” Lauren said.
“What? Did he fall on her?” Nicki questioned sarcastically opening her locker for a card and a rose to fall out. She knelt down and picked up the rose sitting it in her locker and grabbing the card, opening it.
Hey Beautiful,
Sorry I couldn’t call you last night,
I had a show, but I promise to make it up to you
Love you
-Aubrey
Nicki rolled her eyes and gave the card to Lauren for her to read. “Aww, how cute?”
“Not hardly.” Nicki said grabbing her books and placing the card back into her locker. “He wants to act like he’s not out parading around with some hoe? I’m just supposed to always be here while he’s out fucking whatevers walking? I’m supposed to be all giddy cause there’s a note in my locker that he more than likely had Caleb or one of them write to slip into my locker?” Nicki questioned sarcastically.
“How you feeling Onika? Heard about Drake moving on to the next hoe.” Just when she thought things couldn’t get any worse, Bianca comes blowing her stink breath in Nicki’s direction.
“Not today. I really feel like killing someone right now and you lookin real tempting.” Nicki warned grabbing Lauren’s arm who looked like she was ready to fight on Nicki’s behalf at any moment.
“I was just--”
“Look Bitch. She said move, I suggest you do it while you still have feet.” Lauren warned glaring at Bianca. Bianca rolled her eyes before leaving. “Bum Bitch.” Lauren scoffed.
“I owe you one.” Nicki told Lauren. Her classes went like this, people making side comments all day, making her despise Drake even more. Nicki, Amber, Lauren and Shanell walked into the Caf and all eyes were on them. “What the fuck?” Nicki questioned, wanting this day to be over more than anything. After getting their trays, they all sat at a table towards the back of the Caf, which was their usual table. They would be what you’d consider ‘popular’ around the school.
“Guess what ‘Lani did toda-” Nicki stopped mid sentence when she heard screams erupt through the caf, last time that happened they were announcing the senior trip to London 3 months ago. Now it’s even more chaos than then, with people standing on top of tables to get a better look. Amber, being the ratchet girl she is stood on the table jumping up and down to see what the hype was about.
“Nic, get yo ass up here now.” Amber said in pure shock. Lauren, Nic and Shanell all climbed on top of the table to see Drake at the front of the cafeteria, with his security talking to the administrators. He’s the last person Nicki wanted to see.

Picture Perfect Pt 2
Nicki’s hospital room was mass chaos with doctors and nurses running about the room getting everything ready for Nicki’s delivery. She was definitely in labor. Drake stood by her bedside as Nicki cried not only because the pain she was in but she was terrified that her son wouldn’t be ok. “He’s going to be ok.” Drake whispered to Nicki kissing her forehead.
“Promise?” Nicki croaked out, her tears spilling out her eyes. He looked down at his wife, it killed him to see her in this much pain and him not being able to help. The desperation in her eyes and the worry in her words made him want to cry himself.
“Promise.” He answered her.Even though Nicki knew Drake didn’t have the type of power to ensure that her son would be safe, it made her feel better because he never lied to her before and she believed him. The doctor came over instructing Drake of what to do as Nicki was to start pushing. After 5 pushes, Nicki flopped down on her pillow exhausted and soon started to panic when she didn’t hear the ear shattering cry that she heard when she gave birth to Ava.
“What’s going on Aubrey!?” Nicki tugged on Drake’s hand as he looked to where she couldn’t see. He didn’t want to tell her about the panicked looks that each of the nurses and doctors held as they tried their hardest to get the baby to breath. Even if he did want to inform her it would be impossible with his chest feeling like it was going to cave in. “Aubrey..?” Nicki breathed out looking at his face knowing something was terribly wrong.
A huge wave of relief came over everyone in the room when the crack of a cry sounded and then that wailing sound bounced off the walls. “Thank you God.” Drake looked up as he closed his eyes. Nicki gave a silent nod to Jesus as she brung Drake’s hand to her lips and kissed it. Drake looked down at her and they both shared a smile.
“Would you like to cut the umbilical cord Daddy?” The nurse asked Drake and he proudly obliged. Nicki’s eyes widened at how small her son was like she could just break something if she were to touch him. Nicki didn’t get to hold the baby , even though she saw. He was placed into a incubator and taken to NICU.
“I’m proud of you.” Drake sat at Nicki’s bedside, pushing her hair out of her face.
“I’m proud of you.” She said in return as he bent down to kiss her. She placed her hand to his cheek as he pulled away to look in his eyes. “I love you.”
“Love you too Baby.” Drake spoke his truest words. He didn’t want to let too much time pass because he knew how Nicki’s mind worked. She would start to stress herself out. “What are we going to name him?” He asked filling the silence.
“Mommy!” Nicki smiled as she heard Ava coming into the room followed by Carol and Sandi.
“Ava.” Carol warned before smiling at Nicki and Drake as Ava ran to her mother lowering her voice. Nicki leaned over and picked up Ava placing her on the side of the bed. Carol hugged Nicki while Sandi hugged Drake then they switched.
“How’d everything go?” Sandi questioned taking a seat on the couch along with Carol.
“We had a little scare but everything is as good as it gets right now.” Nicki answered somberly.
“How do you feel?” Carol questioned.
“A little tired, but functional.” Drake answered and everyone smacked their teeth.
“I’m a little sore but I’m ok.” Nicki answered pushing Drake’s arm.
“Where is Josiah?” Ava questioned looking around. Carol shook her head as both she and Sandi let out a chuckle.
“Who’s Josiah baby?” Drake asked his daughter whose face dropped in disappointment.
“My brother.” She answered lowly. Nicki looked to Drake and him at her. Ava had been out in the waiting room calling the baby Josiah as they waited to be able to see Nicki and Drake. No one knew where she got the name from she just said it out of the blue. Unlike the many names she would butcher and mispronounce this one she said perfectly. Sandi told her not to get her hopes up but she continued to call him Josiah.
“Josiah?” Nicki questioned Drake. “I actually love it oddly enough.” Nicki chuckled.
“Me too.” Drake nodded.
“Where is he?” Ava questioned, bringing them back to her original question. Nicki looked at Drake, she didn’t know what to tell Ava she was hoping Drake did.
“He’s getting better. He’s sick right now and if we want to take him home the doctors have to make him all better.” Drake summed it up so that she could understand. Ava was a little upset that she couldn’t get to see him but she understood.
“How’s it feel to be a big sister, Punkin?” Nicki questioned rubbing a hand through Ava’s wild curls. She simply shrugged and the room laughed. “I bet you’re going to be bossy.”
“She’ll get it from you.” Drake shot back.
“There’s a difference in being a BOSS,” She pointed to herself “ And being bossy.” She pointed to Ava. Carol and Sandi sat back admiring their kids. They turned out to be wonderful adults that they couldn’t be anymore prouder of.
Nicki looked down into the incubator at Josiah. Even with all the tubes running through his mouth and nose there was no denying he was a beautiful baby. His tiny golden curls to his light pink lips. He was asleep, she wondered how he could look so peaceful but in the predicament. She couldn’t help but blame herself for this. If there was a way she could change places with Josiah she’d do it in a heartbeat. “He’s beautiful isn’t he?” Drake wrapped his arms around Nicki’s waist looking over her shoulder to look at their baby boy. Carol and Sandi had taken Ava home earlier in the day.
“Yeah.” She whispered placing her hand on the glass. “I feel like I caused this Aubrey.”
“You didn’t Onika.” She somewhat hated when he called her Onika. It was either a sign that he was angry or very serious. “You did everything you were supposed to, you heard what the doctor said, sometime things like this just happen. We just have to be here for Josiah.”
“I can’t wait until we can take him home.”
“Me either.” Drake kissed Nicki’s neck.
Ava’s face appeared in front of the camera as Drake tried to get the laptop situated on the coffee table. Ava waved into the camera as she watched her face. “Hi!” She greeted. Drake could be seen walking passed the camera going into the kitchen. Ava climbed up the couch and sat down so she was directly in front of the computer. Team Minaj were spazzing at how cute Ava was as she kicked her legs in the air.
“Careful.” Drake said handing Ava a cup of juice that she just had to have before she went to bed. He walked passed the camera to go and get the charger for the camera.
“Is it on?” Nicki’s voice could be heard throughout the house and that’s when the Barbz and Kenbarbz really started to lose their fucking minds. Ava took a sip of her juice and she jumped when she felt it running down her chin. She looked back and was relieved when she didn't see her parents. She jumped off the couch spilling more juice and placed it on the coffee table trying to rub her hands up and down her nightgown to get the juice out. She quickly climbed back on the couch and sat as if nothing happened when Drake came back with the charger.
“You finished your juice?” Drake asked as he plugged in the charger. She nodded her head. Drake came to join her on the couch sitting next to her in the camera’s view. “Wassup Y’all?” He questioned looking at the camera.
“Baby, where’s ‘Siah’s pacifier?” Nicki questioned.
“In here!” He answered while reading over some of the comments. Nicki appeared with Josiah in her arms sitting next to Ava who was looking suspicious as Drake’s foot kept missing over the spilt juice on the floor.
“Is it on?” Nicki questioned as if she didn’t see where it said live.
“No. It says live because it’s aware that we’re breathing.” Drake answered moving his head, knowing she was going to pull his ear. Instead she mushed him but quickly readjusted when Josiah began whining.
“Heeeeeey Barbz!” She smiled at the comments. She purposely positioned the blanket over Josiah so that his face wasn’t visible to the camera. “Talk to da kid.” She said before looking over at Ava when she noticed how quiet she was being. Drake handed her the blue pacifier and she placed it in Josiah’s awaiting mouth. “Say hi Ava.”
“Hi.” Ava waved at the camera again. Drake picked up the remote turning on the TV and Nicki side eyed him. He felt her eyes but continued to look towards the flatscreen on the wall. “I’m Ava.” She introduced herself as if Team Minaj didn’t know her first, middle and last name. “And she’s Mommy,” She pointed to Nicki. “That’s daddy.” Drake waved. “And his is Josiah, I named him that.” She pointed to herself.
“She ain’t lyin y’all.” Nicki said as she squinted to read the comments but lifted her head as Drake began mumbling the theme song to Phineas and Ferb. She sucked her bottom lip into her mouth to stop from laughing at him not knowing a single lyric except ‘Giving a monkey a shower!’ “Baby, give it up.” She told Drake when it ended.
“At Least I can remember my own songs though. Remember you forgetting everybody's name in Champion? I had to swoop in and save you. How do you forget people you around all your life?” He questioned. “Making up names, talkin ‘bout ‘Bianca, Beatrice, Belinda...’ You don’t even know those people.” Drake said and Nicki smacked her teeth. They joked around talking to Team Minaj along with Ava until all of the Barbz began to only focus on ‘Siah who kept sticking his hands out of the creme colored blankets.
“Ok Barbz, it’s about that time.” Nicki said getting ready to conclude the Ustream. “Before we all go to bed,” She removed the blankets from Josiah’s face making this the first time she’d allow the world to see him in the 6 months he’s been home. “I would like you all to meet Josiah Isaac Graham.” She smiled looking down at his angelic face. Ava bent over placing a kiss on his forehead as Drake leaned over to look. The Barbz took this as an opportunity to capture screenshots, this moment was absolutely picture perfect. Drake stood up to unplug the laptop when he felt the juice on the floor.
“Question: who spilt the juice?” He questioned. Ava shrugged her shoulders and so did Nicki, but Team Minaj was quick to snitch on poor little Ava as they saw the whole thing happen earlier. (.-.)
