Page 36 of Another Night With Me

“Ooooh, this shit hurt sooo bad Niko,” Yanna cried into the phone.

My heart hammered in my chest. I hated Yanna being in pain and me not being able to make it go away. Despite how we got to this situation I’d came to have love for Yanna.

“I’m coming baby. Just hold on okay.”

“I’m scared Niko.”

“Don’t be we finna get to met our baby girl,”

”It’s gonna huuurt.” Yanna said into the phone.

“But it’s gonna be worth it and Ima be there with you every step of the way.”

”Promise,” Yanna asks hopefully.

”I promise. I got y’all.”

I had never drove as fast as I did right now to get to Yanna. I got to her house in ten minutes. I ran every red light to get to her in time. I barely got my car in park when I hopped out running towards her front door.

“Yanna you need to come on. Fuck that nigga my neice need to be born at a hospital,” Her sister Zaylee said with an attitude. She was standing in front of Yanna who had her hands wrapped tightly around her belly.

“No, Nik said he was coming,”Yanna moaned weakly.

I really wanted to cuss her sister out. I hadn’t cared for her since I first encountered her. Zaylee’s attitude rubbed me the wrong way. I know she didn’t know me but she should have known I was going to make sure Yanna and our daughter was good. If this had been any other time I would have cussed Zaylee out but I let that shit red for now. Pushing past Zaylee I bent down in front of Yanna.

Her face lit up when she looked at me. “I’m here,” I said kissing her stomach. “You ready to bring our daughter into this world?”

“Yes but we still don’t have a name Niko,”Yanna cried as I stood up, scooping her up in my arms.

“I know what I’m naming my daughter, I just hadn’t told you yet,” I snickered kissing her on the cheek as I carried her to my car.

“It better not be crazy.” Yanna offered me a faint smile.

“Zuriyah,”

“I like it,”

“Good,” I said maneuvering my passenger door open and placing Yanna inside.

A nigga was scared as fuck but I was happy I was finna be a dad and nothing was more important than that right now.

Chapter 17

I swore I wasn’t going to be one of those mamas who said their babies came out perfect but I be damned if Zuriyah Freeman didn’t come out perfect. She came into this world screaming at the top of her lungs. She made sure she made her grand entrance. Zuriyah weighed 8 lbs 10 ounces, I couldn’t believe she was almost a nine pound baby. I blamed Niko for her feeding me so much during my last month of pregnancy. Her features were still coming in but let Niko tell it she looks just like his baby pictures. It was no use for me to even argue with him, he hadn’t put Zuriyah down since she’d came into this world. He barely let anyone else hold her. The only reason I got to hold her long was because I had to breast feed her. Even then Niko was hovering over me making sure I was taking care of his daughter properly. Niko was being worrisome to everyone who touched Zuriyah.

I did get to met his dad again, this time as Niko’s baby mama and it was awkward as hell when his dad walked into the room. I half expected him to be rude to me or say something smart but he was actually cordial. Niko Told me he explained the situation to his dad before hand and he understood. Which I appreciated Niko not throwing me to the wolves right after I’d given birth. Niko’s dad didn’t stay too long he said he didn’t want to risk running into Priscilla. Niko also explained his dad didn’t deal with his mom in any shape or form. Which made me a little nervous on meeting her. However with how late it had gotten I doubted she was going to come. Which was fine by me. If Pricilla was as bad as everyone said she could keep her distance. Especially knowing how she did Solana and Sunshyne, I was honestly cool on meeting her. Niko would see another side of me if his mama tried to play with Zuriyah. I’d fuck her old ass up.

”Say, man hold her mutha fuckin’ head before I take her from you.” Niko snapped at Yaro who gave him an evil glare in return.

”Bitch ass nigga sit yo’ ass down somewhere. I got two mutha fuckin’ daughters. I know what the fuck I’m doin’. Don’t worry about me and my niece.” Yaro grilled Niko for a few seconds before he focused back on Zuriyah. He talked lowly in her ear as he laid her on his chest.

It took me a second to get used to how Niko and Yaro talked to each other. Them niggas mouths were terrible when they spoke to each other but apperantly that’s how they talk to each other.

“Fuck you. Long faced ass nigga” Niko snarled as he came and sat on the foot of my hospital bed. “Frankee where my nieces at?”

I loved how close Niko and all his brothers were with each other and not only that their bond went down to their children. All of the brothers took being uncles to the next level. I could’ve count how many times I’d call Niko and he’d have one of his nieces with him. I knew for a fact Zuriyah would be loved deeply.
