"Mrs Samuels because we need to start your treatment soon we need the baby out as soon as possible. Seeing as though your now 36weeks and the baby is fully developed healthy so we may induce your labour soon."

"So right after u induce me I go under treatment?"

"Yes ma'am which means no Brest feeding."

"Wait I can't Brest feed my baby."

"No the treatments prevent you from doing that."

"But the treatments will save her life right?"

"We hope so mr samules."

"Wait you hope so?"

"Yes mrs samules we can't guarantee that this method will work but for most patients it does."

" do you think this treatment is what's best for my situation?"

"Yes ma'am I do I've seen it work for many people in your situation."

"So it's worked before?"

"Yes ma'am."

"Ok." Nicki simply said placing her hands in her lap taking a deep breath.

"Baby you ok?"

"Yeah I'm fine."

"So what day do we have to be back here?"

"Next week Friday."

"Ok. But I have a week?"

"Yes."

"And if this does not work how long will I have?"

" if it doesn't work u will have up to a year sweetheart."

"A YEAR!! A FUCKING YEAR !"

"Nicki calm down."

"You want me to calm down but I have an expiration date on my life?"

" that's if it doesn't work nicki."

"How long will we know if it worked?"

"Well we can go about this one of two ways since you have lung cancer and its a small node on your lung we can go in and remove it after you have the baby."

"Meaning segury?"

"Yes it's the quickest way to remove the problem and prevent it from spreading to your entire lung."

"Ok so the other method?"

"The other method is chemotherapy."

"Which is why I won't be able to Brest feed?"

"Yes ma'am."

"Well what do you thing Safaree."

"I think you should go wi the first one I mean its more effective."

"I think so to."

"Ok so you guys want the segury?"

"Yes please."

Safaree grabbed a hold to nickis shaking and and placed it between his. He rubbed until she began to calm down placing a dot kiss on the back of her hand. Nicki grabbed her purse and stood from her chair she walked towards the door opening it headed for the car Safaree following suit.

"You ok?" He said getting into the car slamming the door.

"No."

"You wanna talk about it?"

"No. Just drive."

"When are you going to tell mom?"

"I'm not."

"Nicki."

"You are."

"What? She should hear it from you baby."

"Safaree how do u start a conversation like that with your mother? Hi mom weathers nice I have to have the baby next week and after that they cut me open and remove cancer from my lung. But don't worry if that doesn't work I have a year left to spend with my family."

"Oh. Well since u put it that way."

"But that's the thing I didn't put it that way the doctors did."

"Nicki."

"Safaree please I don't want to have this conversation with anyone at the moment you want everyone close to us to know so bad handle it."

"Ok."

A cold silence grew over the car for the last fifteen minutes of their ride home. Safaree pulled into the drive way. He opened his car door stepping out to open nickis when he was met by roman and Amy.

" sup Amy! Down ro man ya paws muddy."

"Sorry Safaree he likes puddles but I'm going to take him to the back and get him all washed."

"Amy it's cold out wash him in the basement."

"Oh ill be fine mr. Samules it's just a breeze."

"But I won't just use the tub in the basement."

"Ok dinner is made."

"Ok thanks."

"Your welcome. Hi mrs samules how's everything."

Nicki just gave her a cold stare and made her way in the house.

"Ok."

"Don't take it personal Amy she got bad news today."

"Not about the baby right."she said grabbing a hold to her chest trying to keep her balance as roman tried to go after nicki but was yanked back by the leash.

"No the baby will be here early actually but the baby is healthy we may need more of your help around the house though so I'm going to raise your pay and we will talk about it later."

"Ok mr samules but you sure nika will be ok?"

"Yes.." He said mumbling I hope shortly after.

Safaree made his way into the condo putting his keys on the key rack by the front door. He took his shoes off on the carpet off to the side and made his way into the kitchen. He was hoping to see nicki eating her dinner but no one was in the kitchen and he could see her curry chicken still wrapped on the counter. He took the wrapping off her plate and placed it in the microwave for a few minutes. He reached in the fridge and grabbed her a water and an apple juice. Shortly after the timer on the microwave went off. He placed everything on a tray making his way up the stairs. He could see that the door was closed so he sat the tray on the table at the end of the hall. The door was locked so he went back down the stairs to get his keys. Once back to the door he opened it leaving the keys swinging from the door.

" nicki sit up."

"I don't want that Safaree."

"My baby does though sit yo ass up onika I'm not playing with you."

Nicki pouted and sat up.

"I don't want apple juice I want orange juice." She said handing him the apple juice back.

"Ok anything else?"

"No."

"Ill have Amy bring the orange juice back up and nicki say sorry."

"What?"

"Just do it."

"Ughhhhh ok."

....

"Well ma I think I should call nickis mother now."

"Ok baby tell onika I'm praying for her and that baby and that things will be ok just give it to god and let him do the rest."

"Ok ma I will."

"Ok baby ill be in town next week Monday."

"Ok ill have Amy come get you from the air port if I'm still at work when you land."

"Ok love you baby."

"Love you too ma."

Safaree waited until his line was clear and searched for carols number he waited a while as he searched for the words.

"Fuck how do I tell her this shit." He said speaking to him self.

"Tell who what?" Amy said freeing a now clean roman from her grasp.

"Carol. And I have to tell her something important about nicki."

"Ok you scaring me now what am I not apart of the family now."

"No Amy I just don't know how to explain this to anyone."

"How about I be your test dummy?"

"Ok umm. Well the baby will be here next week because nicki has to go into treatment."

"Treatment why?" Amy said taking a seat next to Safaree on the couch.

"Because she has lung cancer."

"Lung cancer!"

"Shhh."

"Oh sorry but where did this come from?"

"The doctors said its normal for people to find out things when they are pregnant it flares them up."

"Ok so what treatment will she start after the baby is here?"

"First they will try and remove the node as they called it through surgery."

"Ok but when?"

"Friday after the baby is born."

"And if this doesn't work?"

"Chemotherapy."

"So this I why you need me here huh?"

" yes but my mother may be here and nickis too after I grow the balls to call and tell her."

"Ok what ever you guys need. You know nika is like a sister to me."

"Speaking of her she wants orange juice can u take it to her please?"

"Shure can."

"If she locked the door my keys are on the table in the hall."

"Ok."

"Thank you Amy."

"Your welcome Safaree." She said turning to walk away. " oh and Safaree it's no easy way to tell a mother her baby has lung cancer. But the more u put it off the worse the reaction."

"Thanks."

"No problem."

Safaree pressed the call button on his phone. The more the phone rang the more his heart raced.

"Hello? Hello? Safaree?"

"I'm sorry hi mama."

"Hi baby what's going on."

"I have to talk to you about something."

"Ok let me finish with CIA and you have my undivided attention."

"Ok go ahead."

"CIA finish that home work was the dishes and go to bed right now!" He could hear her scream in the background

"Ok baby let me get situated in this bed."

"Good she's sitting."

"What was that?"

"Nothing I was talking to Amy."

"Oh that chile still works for you guys?"

"Yes ma'am."

"Ok what's this news you have to tell me."

"Don't panic ok."

"Ok Safaree."

"We'll a few days ago we found out nicki had lung cancer."

"Lung cancer! Is she going to be ok."

"They don't know so the baby will be here next Friday so that they can start her treatments."

"Treatments this sounds serious."

"It is and nicki needs all the support she can get."

"So ill fly out first thing."

"You don't have to do that."

"Yes I do Safaree my baby needs me."

"But.."

"No buts first thing in the morning."

"Ok."

"So how's she doing with this news."

"She's down mad at the world."

"Sounds like onika."

"Yeah."

"How are you doing with this news."

"I guess you can say I'm handling it."

"And what's that suppose to mean?"

"I mean mama what type of man would I be if I broke down. It's not me having to go through this its her."

"That's where your wrong baby. In sickness and in health you said that didn't you.?"

"Yes but."

"No buts your going through this together you under stand me? She may need you more than she ever will in her life right now."

"Yes ma'am."

"So you be strong but in order for you to be strong you need someone to be strong for you too. do you hear me baby?"

"Yes ma'am."

"Now when does all of this happen?"

"Friday."

"Ok ill be out that way tomorrow son so see you then."

"Ok."

And with that the call ended. Safaree made his way to his study checking his books as he always did before he went to bed.

.........

Nickis room

Amy knocked on the door slowly turning the knob with nickis orange juice tucked under her arm.

"Come on Amy."

"You knew I was coming?"

"Yeah plus your the only one who knocks around here."

"Oh."

"Hey I'm sorry about.."

"No need if I was in your position I'd be mad at the world too."

"Aww but I.."

"Shhh."

"Here."

"Oh that thanks even though I don't want it."

"But Safaree said.... Never mind." She said setting the orange juice on the night stand.

Nicki motioned for her to take a seat on the bed.

"Wanna talk about it?"

"I guess not really much to say. But can I ask a quick favor of you?"

"Sure anything."

"Please take care of her." Nicki said rubbing her belly.

"Her?"

"Oh that's right it is your first time being back its a girl."

"Aww she's going to be beautiful."

"Thanks but please." Nicki said with pleading eyes tears rolling down her face.

"You look at me." Amy said lifting nickis head up with her index finger."nika your going to be ok baby."

"But what if I'm not?"

"What if the sky isn't blue tomorrow?"

"No Amy I'm serious." Nicki said through laughs.

"So am I you have to be optimistic with things like this nicki. Claim that in gods name you will get better if not for you for the sake of that baby."

"But they said.."

"But who are they nika? Some guy who studied about the human body in school. Gods power is greater than any man and that's what you have to believe baby."

"Listen to you who would have thought you call me the big sister."

"Well someone has to look at this thing in another form."

"I'm glad it's you."

"I'm here if you need me you know that right?"

"Yes and thank you." She said pulling her in for a hug.
