Finding Each Other
Chapter 13: Daddy
Nikkie woke up all tired and not ready. She didn't even remember she was in Virginia until she really opened up her eyes from the sleep and realized it wasn't her room. She got up and went to the bathroom. She went to the bathroom and washed up. Then she went downstairs to find some family members there. She stood at the foot of the staircase and looked at everyone. Until her uncle Pauly looked up at her. He looked at her and told her to come to him. Pauly was her favorite uncle because after her real mother died he was really like the father to her because her dad had to work a lot. He had always been there for her and Raylese. Even if it was for a small reason he listened.
When she went up the him he sat her on his knee.
"So how are ya doing kiddo" Pauly asked her
"I'm ok, but I take it easy little at a time" Nikkie said
"Good. So you got good friends out there" he asked
"Yeah" Nikkie answered
"Your not messing around with the guys are you" he asked
"Pauly" Nikkie whined to him
He laughed and said "Just joking..so no boyfriend"
"Yeah" Nikkie said
"He is a good kid right Raylese" he asked her
"Yeah he's ok" Raylese yelled out
"Good...gimme a pound" he said and Nikkie gave him the secret handshake along with Raylese.
They all laughed and aunt Casey came downstairs.
"It's almost 11:00, we should start getting ready" she said and Nikkie ran to her room and pulled out her dress from the closet. She slipped it on and slipped on her 1 inch black shoes. She put her hair in a sort of loose bun with curls coming out. She looked very pretty. Raylese stuck a baby red rose on her dress and on Nikkie's and Alexa's. She did this only on them because on Valentines day their dad had given them all baby roses and gave Kayla a bunch of red roses. So it sort of ment something special.
When they arrived at the church they found the church filled with family and friends. They all seated themselves and the priest came up and gave a small speech. Then he called up uncle Pauly to say a few words. (A/N:Pauly was Chris's brother)
"Chris was a man of many different emotions. He was always finding a way to make someone laugh. He never liked seeing someone cry or be upset. When his wife died, I remembered that he was smiling because he knew there was no need to be sad. When I asked him why he was so happy, he answered me saying that there was no need to cry because she was going to be in good hands so there wasn't a need to worry. But deep down he missed her. Chris....was a good husband and good father as well as a good brother. Even when everyone tried to bring him down he found a way to stay up. He was always there when you needed him. But when it came to work...he was a work-aholic......".
When he finished his speech Nikkie felt a lump in her throat. She was about to do something no one has ever seen her do.
"Now I would like to bring Chris's daughter Nikkie up here to do a little something, in honor of her love for her father. Nikkie" Pauly said and sat down.
Nikkie got up and walked up to the microphone and took it of the stand and brought herself away from the podium. She gave the man near the piano the sheet of paper she had in her hand. He studied it carefully and he nodded his head. As the beginning intro played she stood very nervously. When the voice came out of her mouth she let the rest flow. She song a song called "Daddy"
(A/N:Look this is another Beyonce song. Yeah I like her album. But this was the right song to play.)
I remember when you use to take me on a
Bike ride everyday on the bayou
And I remember when you could do no wrong
You'd come home from work and I jumped in your arms when I saw you
I was so happy to see you
Because you loved me I overcome
And I'm so proud of what you've become
You've given me such security
No matter what mistakes I make you're there for me
You kill my disappointments and you heal my pain
You understood my fears and you protected me
Treasure every irreplaceable memory and that's why.
I want my unborn son to be like my daddy
I want my husband to be like my daddy
There is no one else like my daddy
And I thank you for loving me
I still remember the expression on your face
When you found out I'd been on a date and had a boyfriend
I still remember I caught you crying cause of my tattoo
Could have said Nikkie I told you so
Instead you said you'd get one too
Words can't express my boundless gratitude for you
I appreciate what you do
You've given me such security
No matter what mistakes I make you're there for me
You kill my disappointments and you heal my pain
You understand my fears and you protected me
Treasure every extraordinary memory and that's why.
I want my unborn son to be like my daddy
I want my husband to be like my daddy
There is no one else like my daddy
And I thank you for loving me
Even if my man broke my heart today
No matter how much pain I'm in I will be okay
Cause I got a man in my life that can't be replaced
For this love is unconditional it won't go away
I know I'm lucky
Know it ain't easy
For men who take care of their responsibilities
Love is overwhelming
Can't help my tears from falling
I love you so much daddy
(Thank you, you've done so much for me. I love you daddy.)
I get so emotional daddy, every time I think of you
I get so emotional daddy, every time I think of you
There is no one else like my daddy
No one else replace my daddy...
Everyone smiled as Nikkie finished off the song. But some were shocked. No one knew she had this talent. Everyone knew she loved to hear it, but no one knew she sang. But to Nikkie she felt that this was the last time she would do it. Because it was a talent she was keeping to herself. After she sang the last note a tear fell down her cheek. She stood there not moving as she looked at her feet. She turned around to the closed casket and put her hand on it. She kissed her hand and touched it again. She turned around and walked towards her seat. But when she reached it she looked t at the exit and ran out. When her friend Junior turned around he saw her running. Then when the echoing of the door slamming shut went out to the whole church everyone looked back. Junior got up and ran after her.
Nikkie went out side and sat on the steps of the church. When Junior saw her she had her forehead in her knees. He slowly sat next to her and put his hand on her back. When she felt the touch she picked her head up and looked at him and he hugged her close. He didn't want to let her go.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
After the ceremony and burial they went back to the house. Nikkie went upstairs and changed into her pink sweat shorts and a white tank top and the matching sweater, and her sneaker. She went to the park with Brian, Lala, Mila, Christina, Patricia, and Junior. They hung around talked and had a few laughs. But Nikkie decided to do what her dad did. She kept a smile on her face knowing he was in good hands.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Three weeks went by and they celebrated her great grandmothers anniversary. Nikkie was getting happy because she would finally be going home. She was going to miss everyone, but she wanted to leave. She had called Jimmy 3 more times after the first call and she called Paige to tell her to tell everyone that she said Hi. But in three more days she would be leaving. She would finally be in Jimmy's arms again. But Jimmy didn't know when she would be showing up yet. SURPRISE..maybe!!!
Authors Note: Ok, Kinda short yeah I know. But ya gotta put in the funeral. So Chapter 14 may come up later or tomorrow. Ok
Much Love
