"Riri Grandma is going to be mad at me for those earrings" "they were big *smiles*" "yes they were" "I love my new pictures mommy" "do you wanna get them put in your room?" "yeeeeeeesss! and I wanna give everybody one" "remember we can only give a few people" "otay. Mommy may I have pizza for dinner?" "okay baby". They stopped by pizza hut and her mom bought her a small pizza with all the toppings she wanted; extra cheese, pineapples and pepperoni. Her mom took the first slice and she ate one while her mom drove. She was careful not to make a mess. They stopped at the supermarket so she could get snacks for Riri and regular grocery for the house. She put her shades and hat on before getting out and letting riri out from the back. Riri pulled the big bottle of laundry detergent to the cart "you're getting so strong" "yeah, look mommy I have muscles" "*gigggles* yes you do baby" "ok let's go get you cereal and we are ready to go".

By the time they got home Riri had three slices of pizza and a small bottle of Dasani and had fallen asleep in her booster seat. Her mom took her out first and brought her to the master bedroom then went back down to get the groceries from the car. When she was done she made sure all the doors were locked then went upstairs. She stripped Riri down to underwear, got her rag and cleaned up her face and hands and put on one of her Nicki t-shirts. She then changed into a T-shirt herself and climbed into bed pulling her baby girl close. "Is this what I almost gave up?" she asked just before she too fell asleep.

Chapter 29 --> How To Break A Man

Kept y'all waiting forever for this chapter I know y'all are gonna tell me is short -__-. Been REALLY busy sorry. I love y'all and I do hope you enjoy my short chapter. Excuse any misspellings or other typo's. I'm tired.

Nicki tried calling her again and as the phone rang Jhené looked at the screen and put it back down. Terrence's eyes met hers in the mirror
Terrence: J... just answer her
She sighed and caught the phone before it stopped ringing.
Jhené: yeah
Nicki: where are you?
Jhené: did you eat?
Nicki: no. where are you?
Jhené: baby you need to eat.
Nicki: you need to tell me where you are
Jhené: T's room getting my hair done
She heard Nicki sigh
Nicki: oh...
Jhené: I'll be done in a few
Nicki: ok

When Terrence finished her hair she thanked him and took her time getting back to the suite she shared with Nicki. As she opened the door she saw her standing by the window talking on the phone. She turned around to her as she closed the door and ended the call. Nicki didn't say word to her.
Jhené: did you need me for something?
She didnt answer.
Jhené: so it's ok to speak to me over the phone but you can't speak to me face to face? *sigh* fine text or call me when you're ready to say what's on your mind.
Nicki still didnt say anything to her until she was in the car on the way to rehearsal.
Nicki: did she try to hurt you in anyway?
She asked while looking out the window.
Jhené: no babe like I said before
Nicki: did she try to kiss you?
Jhené: *sigh* no
Nicki: did you feel anything at all for her while you were there?
Jhené: hell no! I didn't!
Nicki looked at her
Nicki: you could have told me you were going to see her
Jhené: like you could have told me you have a private investigator on her. You would not have wanted me to go or you would have wanted me to come with me. We both know how that would've turned out.
Nicki rolled her eyes
Nicki: why did you leave before I woke up?
Jhené: I didnt wanna wake you, you need the rest and I knew Terrence would be busy later.
She turned her head away looking through the window. They were almost there.
Jhené: I feel like it's more to this behavior and you're not telling me but I'm here when you're ready to talk.
She said as the car came to a stop.

The crowd was live she seemed to have a lot of fun on stage but as soon as she got off it was back to her bad mood. She had told Terrence and Lauren to make sure everything was packed to go before her set knowing she'd want to leave immediately after the show. So they went ahead of her as they walked back to her dressing room and got the bags taking them to the cars. Her body guards stood by the back exit. She had stopped in the hallway to take her heels off when she heard his voice say her name
SB: Nicki
She turned around
SB: may I speak to you for a minute
Nicki: *folds arms* go ahead.
SB: in private? please?
She looked over at Jhené who bent and took her shoes up and head for the dressing room door she came back out with hers and Nicki's bags and dropped her hello kitty slippers for her to put on.
Jhené: I'll be in the car.
Nicki: Just wait out here. *takes her bag* I'ma change when I'm done.
She opened the dressing room door and dropped her bag on the couch as he closed the door. Jhené want down to stand by the exit so she wouldn't hear what they were talking about. She was scared she'd hear something that would leave her hurting.
SB: you were great up there
Nicki: Thanks
SB: How have you been?
Nicki: fine Safaree. Just perfect. You?
SB: I'm good. Been better... Nic there's something I need to speak to you about?
Nicki: what's that? oh.... wait... If you're gonna tell me you're fucking Shanell I already know just a heads up so you dont waste you're time. Annnnd if you were thinking I was gonna care, I DONT.
SB: should have known Lauren would tell you.
Nicki: Even though she did say it too me I had already known so don't go blaming her. Is that all? cause I need to change.
SB: I didn't even come to... you know what, just forget it *shakes head* Bye Nicki
Nicki: Bye... Oh and congrats daddy.
He stopped in the doorway and turned looking at her
SB: What did you just say?
Nicki: Bye Safaree
SB: No be straight with me Onika... Are you pregnant?
Nicki: Safaree leave or I'm calling security
SB: Nic??
Nicki: I SAID LEAVE!!
He shook his head looking at her at he walked backwards out the door. He looked at Jhené chest heaving before he walked out.

****
Jhené walked out the bathroom into the bedroom and saw her across the bottom of the bed staring at the ceiling. She walked over and crawled between her legs then kissed her.
Jhené: you ready to tell me what's really going on?
Nicki took a deep breath and closed her eyes before speaking
Nicki: she's pregnant
she said opening her eyes again and looking up at Jhené
Jhené: who's pregnant?
Nicki: Shanell, the girl he was with at the show tonight
Jhené: for him?
Nicki: yup
she said looking away
Jhené: is that what he wanted to talk to you about?
Nicki: No. He doesnt know she is and she's aborting it.
Jhené: What?!!

(same time)

He had been sitting on the couch staring at the blank tv since they got back to her place. She walked out the bedroom clad in her robe and went to sit by him.
Shanell: *pouts* are you ok babe?
She asked rubbing his back in small circles
SB: She's pregnant
Shanell froze.
SB: she's pregnant and she didnt tell me
He ran his hand over his face and Shanell slowly pulled her hand away from him. Her mind was going a mile a minute. She had feared losing him back to her before but now she was absolutely terrified. He was still speaking to her but she heard nothing of what he said. All she could think about was that fact that not only was she carrying his child but so was Nicki. His voice calling her pulled her from her thoughts.
SB: baby are you ok?
All she did was shake her head yes slowly without even looking over at him.
SB: I'm gonna go out for a little bit ok
Shanell: ok
She managed to get out. He kissed her forehead and ran his fingers over her cheek before he left. He knew Nicki wouldn't see him again so he needed to go see his sister.

**
They were getting dressed to go see Mama Carol when Nicki's phone rang. She answered without looking at the caller ID
Nicki: hello
Neeqa: we need to talk
Nicki: what about?
Neeqa: you'll find out when I get up to your suite.
She said and hung up. Nicki just put the phone back down and continued getting dressed. A good few minutes later she was putting a few things in her bag when Jhené walked back in.
Jhené: you have a visitor
She said with a hint of attitude and Neeqa rolled her eyes and walked past her over to Nicki;
Neeqa: when were you gonna tell him? Is that the reason you've been dressing this way lately? loose fitting tops, performing in flats? and oh what a glow your skin has.
Nicki: what are you talking about?
Neeqa: just stop!! You know exactly what I'm talking about Nicki. What you expect him to just stand aside, let you do whatever you please like this isnt his child growing inside of you.
Jhené's eyed Nicki with curiosity as she burst out laughing
Nicki: girl you really need to leave. If that is seriously what you came here to get on my case about. You need to go.
She said while laughing
Neeqa: oh it's a joke to you
Nicki: you fucking right it's a joke. That's why I'm laughing.
Shaneeqa just shook her head at her then turned and left. When she was out the door Jhené came back nd stood in the doorway arms folded across her chest looking at her sitting on the bed
Jhené: you told him you're pregnant?
She looked around at Jhené
Nicki: no... he assumed
Jhené: Why didnt you correct him?
Nicki: Idk.. I wasnt thinking.
Jhené: You weren't thinking... *chuckles* ok Onika. Are you ready to go?
She said  a hint of anger in her voice
Nicki: I'm sor-
Jhené: Let's just go.. please
She said taking her bag up and heading for the door.

**
They were walking up the driveway when the front door flew open and Macaiah came running out.
Nicki: Whoa!! Hey lambchop!! i missed you!! *big smile*
Caiah:" I missed you too sis!
He kissed her cheek then pulled away and went to hug Jhené
Nicki: You cutting my hugs short now boy
Caiah: Nic you aren't the only one I have to hug
Nicki: Jhen don't want your hugs
Caiah: dead at you thinking you're the only one she loves
Nicki: Oh... Oop! Well excuse me. Where's mama at?
They all laughed
Caiah: making lunch
He said as they walked in the front door.
Nicki: ooh spaghetti I bet
She said running off to the kitchen
Caiah: Aint you feeding her?
He asked Jhené
Jhené: of course I am. But you know how you're sister is
Caiah: wait.. whoa!! pauz!! Double pauz!! never mind forget I even asked
he said walking towards the kitchen leaving  her. Jhené's jaw dropped as she realized what he was getting at.  When they got to the kitchen Nicki was standing by the sink talking to her mom. She stopped talking  as soon as Jhené walked in
Jhené: Mrs Maraj *smiles*
Carol: hello, how have you been?
Jhené: I've been good. You?
Carol: I've been better
Nicki eyed her mother. Carol smiled at Jhené
Carol: are you ladies going to eat?
Nicki: yes mom. you hungry babe?
She asked Jhené and Carol's facial expression changed as the words left Nicki's lips.
Jhené: Not really but I'll have some of her famous spaghetti.
Nicki: It tastes just like mine
Jhené: I doubt it! She taught you! *giggles*
Carol: That's right and yours will never taste better than mine ms thing.
She said with a little giggle as she made them plates. Caiah sat between the too at the table eating. While they  were eating the doorbell rang and Carol left them to go see who it was. It was when they were finishing up the dishes that Carol walked back in and asked to speak with Nicki. Jhené stayed with Caiah as she walked out behind her mother to the living room. Nicki froze when she walked in and  saw Safaree sitting on her mother's couch.
Carol: Is there something you want to tell me Onika?
Nicki: a-about what?
She asked and stuttered as her eyes shifted from Safaree's to her mom's. Carol folded her arms and Nicki took a deep breath.
Nicki: whatever he told you, It's a lie
She looked at him a rolled her eyes
Carol: and why would he just blatantly come here to lie to me Nicki?
Nicki: because he wants attention *sucks teeth*. Safaree why are you here?
Carol: I know you did not just hiss at me
Nicki: no ma I didn't
She said unfolding her arms.
Carol: are you pregnant?
She didnt respond. Carol walked over to her and stood looking into her eyes
Carol: are you pregnant?
Nicki: how old am I 16?
Carol: dont get smart with me answer the question.
Nicki: I'm not pregnant. You of all people would have known if I was
Carol: or maybe I wouldnt cause lately I've been finding hard to see the daughter I raised.
Nicki: mom...
Carol turned around to Safaree and he stood up
SB: she's lying
he said in a soft but angry voice
Nicki: the fuck!!
Carol spun around and faced her daughter
Nicki: No Im sorry mom but how's he just gonna stand there and say that?
SB: Because you are!! You told me!! You know better than to play with me about something like this Nicki!! Gaahh!!! why are you doing this?! What you think you're gonna keep me away from my kid so you can raise him with Jhené?!
Nicki: FIRST OF ALL I DIDNT TELL YOU SHIT!! YOU ASSUMED!!! SECONDLY, I'M NOT FUCKING PREGNANT SAFAREE!!!
SB: JUST STOP LYING!!!
She bit her lip to stop herself from telling him the paragraph of bad words she wanted to throw his way and took a deep breath.
Nicki: For the last.. fucking.. time. I'm NOT pregnant.
SB: you...
Nicki: Shanell is.
A deathly silence fell over the room. Jhené had heard the commotion and walked in to see what was going on, Caiah was right behind her. Nicki turned towards the kitchen doorway
Nicki: we're leaving.
She walked over to her little brother, hugged and kissed him. She walked over to her mom
Nicki: I'm sorry for all of this I really am and I'm sorry that you dont see who you wanna see in me anymore when really nothings changed but the gender of the person that I love.
She said tearing up. She hugged her mom then walked out the front door.
Carol: Onika...
She called softly but said no more as her daughter disappeared out the door.
Jhené: I'm sorry. It was great seeing you again.
She gave Carol a hug and left. Safaree still hadn't said another word or stopped looking at the wall
Carol: are you ok?
She asked but he didnt hear her.

****
He couldn't face her, so he stayed away for a few weeks or what seemed like a few weeks. He didnt come out unless it was to eat he didnt go anywhere he didnt speak to anyone except Shaneeqa and when he did, it was no more than 2 or 3 words a day. he didnt call Shanell, didnt text her. All this time, she'd been hiding something this important from him. When he finally decided to see her, he got to her place and she wasnt there. He called her phone but got no answered so he decided to sit in his car and wait for her to come back. He waited until he fell sleep. When he woke up it was after 6 the next morning. Her car still wasnt in the driveway and he reached onto the passenger seat for his phone to call her number a few more times. It was on the sixth call and second ring that he got answer from a very sleepy voice.
D: hello
SB: hello
D: how may I help you
SB: Shanell?
D: no. she's sleeping. can i take a message?
SB: just tell her to call Safaree
D: sure
She said and hung up. He took a deep breath, took his hat off and ran his hand over his head. All day he waited for her phone call and got none. 9:30pm and he was sitting in the living room staring at his phone that sat on the coffee table. When he couldn't wait anymore he grabbed it and dialed her number. She asnwered on the fourth ring
Shanell: what do you want?
SB: Is that how you great the father of your unborn child? Where are you?
She fell silent over the phone
SB: you didnt think that it was important enough to tell me you were pregnant?
She still didnt answer
SB: ANSWER ME!!
He yelled and he heard her gasp.
SB: Where are you?
Shanell: You dont need me Safaree you have her and her baby.
He sighed
SB: She's not pregnant... Look where are you I need to see you.
Shanell: Faree I cant... It's been a month and two days since I've heard from you, seen you. All this time you were worried about her. You would never choose me over her. I had to make choices that were best suitable for me and my career.
SB: What kinda choices Shanell? Not telling me you are carrying my child? Running off to stay with your sister?
Shanell: was... carrying your child.
SB: Wh-what the Fuck did you just say?!
Shanell: I'm sorry Faree.
She said before she hung up.
SB: NO!! NO!
He yelled over and over again as he smashed the glass on the coffee table and threw his phone at the wall. His chest tightened as he fell to his knees crying.

Po Faree :(!! LEAVE A COMMENT!!

The crowd was live she seemed to have a lot of fun on stage but as soon as she got off it was back to her bad mood.

Chapter 28 -> Knocked Up (2/2)

Pls xcuse n e typos :)

SB: hey
Lauren: hey
SB: sup? I was just heading out.
Lauren: going to see Shanell?
SB: laur-
Lauren: It's cool. Do you. I wanted to speak to you about something but maybe you should go see her first.
SB: Look if it's about Nicki...
Lauren: *sigh* Just come see me when you get back
SB: aight.
He responded as he closed the door then they both walked down to his car.
Lauren: later
SB: later ham *smiles*
She gave him back a half smile

When he got to Shanell's he knocked for a good five minutes before she answered the door. He could tell she had been sleeping and her eyes were red and puffy.
SB: you been crying
Shanell: no... allergies
she lied. Her voice was hoarse.
SB: you didn't see me calling you? see my text messages?
Shanell: no my phone is on silent and I haven't checked it since i woke up.. come in
She stepped aside and he walked in.. She closed the door and walked over to the couch.
SB: I was worried so I said i'd come check on you. You know you still haven't told me why you were so upset when you left the pharmacy.
She seemed to just zone out when he said those last words.
SB: babe...did something happen?
She looked at him and she thought about the tests. Her hand unconsciously went to her to her tummy and for a second she felt she had the courage to tell him so she opened her mouth but the wrong words came out.
Shanell: I think I'm gonna be sick
She said before rushing off to the bathroom. He went after her and held her hair back as she emptied her stomach of the food she had earlier. When she was done she closed the lid and flushed. He helped her up and she went to the sink, brushed her teeth and washed her faced that wash drenched in a cold sweat. She pat her face dry with her towel and walked into her bedroom then sat on the bed. He stood in the bathroom doorway looking at her.
SB: do you need me to take you to the doctor?
Shanell: NO! I mean...It's that Chinese food I ate.
SB: but just to make sure it's not something else
Shanell: something else like what?!
SB: It could be a stomach bug.
"stomach bug is right" She thought to herself
Shanell: I'm fine Safaree! If it's the same tomorrow then I'll go see a doctor.
SB: alright. Just call me before you go ok.
Shanell: ok.You're leaving now?
SB: do you want me to staya?
Shanell: No it's ok. besides if it's something contagious I don't want you to catch it.
Then she thought " Fuck if babies were contagious that would be some shit!"
SB: Ok. But take your phone off silent. Ima call and check on you later.
Shanell: ok
She gave him a weak smile and he kissed her forehead.
SB: go get some rest. I'll let myself out.
She head for the bedroom as he head for the door. She made her way to the middle of the bed pulled her knees up and let her tears fall.

On his way back he called Lauren to find out where she was then drove to see her.

SB: what's up Ham?
He said with a smile as she let him in
Lauren: don't  get punched in the throat! What i tell you about calling me that?
SB: *chuckles* but-
Lauren: Safaree!
She said in a stern voice. He laughed
Lauren: so how'd it go?
SB: how'd what go?
Lauren: your visit with... her?
SB: she's not well, she's throwing up but she refused to let me take her top the doctor
Lauren: oh she didn't tell you?
SB: tell me what?
Lauren:... what is wrong with her?
She said looking away. She wanted to but by right she knew it wasn't for her to tell him.
SB: she said it was the Chinese food she ate
Lauren: the CHinese food huh?... that's a  new one
She mumbled the last part
SB: what exactly are you trying to say? You know what's wrong with her?
Lauren: there are a few things I know Safaree
She said and  stopped. He looked at her waiting and when she said nothing more he asked
SB: a few things like what?
Lauren: I know for a fcat that you love my best friend. That you want her in you life so badly its driving you crazy and what your doing with Shanell is just to mask your true feelings, to hide how really hurt you are. Maybe everyone is blind to it Safaree but I see right through it. You know what happened the last time something happened between you and Shanell and you're thinking maybe just maybe this will get her attention. But what you really need to do is go back and fight for you relationship before it gets too complicated.
SB: Laur-
Lauren: NO! It's the truth and you know it!
SB: You wanna know something I am sick and tired of everyone tellign me to fight for my relationship with Nicki! It wasnt just My relationship it was hers too! Do you see her fighting for it?! Are y'all yelling at her telling her to fight for her relationship?! No! Why should I be the only one putting out effort to make this right?! Why shouild I be the only one tryna fight?!
He got up and walked to the door then opened it and before he walked out he turned to her
SB: Maybe what I have with Shanell isn't anywhere close to what I thought I had with Nicki, but it's better than chasing something that no longer matters.
Lauren: Saf-
He slammed the door behind him cutting her off.

****
It was four days since he'd seen her, she had called and told him she was going to visit her mom for a few days. They text each other while she was gone but she seemed to have an excuse every time it came time for them to talk over the phone. He wasn't the only one who called her while she was gone, she got several from Lauren but she never took one. She knew Lauren hadn't told Safaree about the baby or he would have said something to her in their text conversations so she didnt worry too much about that. She walked in her door and dropped her bag right behind it as she closed it. All she wanted to do was take a shower at the moment. She walked to her bathroom stripping along the way. When she was done she she walked back to her bedroom in only her robe. She removed it, moisturized her skin and put it back on. She went and got her phone from her bag and dialed his number. He picked on half way into the first ring
SB: Baby are you ok? What's up?
Shanell: I'm home. I need you to come over, we need to talk.
SB: Ok I'll be there in 5 I'm close by
She hung up putting her phone in the pocket of her robe and picking up her bag from behind the door. She took time making something to eat and as she sat eating there was a knock at the door.
Shanell: it's open
She yelled. The door opened and he walked in
SB: baby?
She took a sip of her tea. He heard the cup against the counter and head for the kitchen.He walked up behind her and leaned down
SB: I missed you *kisses her cheek*
She never uttered a word. She ate the last bite from her plate and drank the last of her tea.
SB: so you didnt miss me while you were gone?
Shanell: May I ask you something?
SB: sure Baby anything
Shanell: What do I do for you?
SB: where is this coming from?
Shanell: that doesnt answer my question Safaree!
SB: you do a lot for me
Shanell: like what?
SB: You make me smile, you make me feel appreciated, you-
Shanell: I'll never be her
She cut him off
SB: I never expe-
She put her finger on his lips and he stopped mid sentence.
Shanell: You an dI both know this isnt going to work. You're hurt, she hurt you badly I understand but I dont wanna be the just your source of comfort until she finds out gets mad and you walk back into her life. I-
SB: You think I'm using you? Baby I would never.What I feel for you is real.She has the person she wants in her life and that person isnt me. I moving on... with you.
He kissed her
SB: I dont want you going around thinking you're just here for me to get my dick wet til Nicki decides to take me back. I'm over her ok. *pecks her lips and pulls her into a hug* Now You ready for your performance with Wayne tomorrow night?
Shanell: *sigh* I'm not performing
SB: Why not? What happened?
Shanell: I told him I wasnt up for it. Doctor's orders. So he changed his set. But I told him I'd still be there for support.
SB: awee baby *kisses her* So what'd the doctor say.
Shanell: Well it's not... contagious
She managed between kisses.
Shanell: mmmm dont start
He lifted her back onto her chair and stood between her legs
SB: Why not? I missed you
Shanell: How'd we get frm... sss.. mmm
She moaned as he sucked on  her neck
SB: see you missed me too
Shanell: dont get cocky.. ahhmm.... Promise to be slow ss and gentle
SB: Sure you can manage
Shanell: mmmfuck!! No! But.. sss. I need you to be
SB: Promise
 he said before pushing her legs apart and gently inserting two fingers inside her

*****

Jhené stood looking at her as she opened the shower door. She handed her her towel and she wrapped it around herself.
Jhené: are you gonna stay mad at me for this whole trip?
She didnt respond just walked out the bathroom leaving her she followed her into the bedroom of their suite and stood watching her every move. Nicki went through her bag finding something to wear, moisturized her skin then got dressed. She still payed Jhené no mind.
Jhené: fine Onika. Two can play that game.
She turned to head back for the bathroom and stopped.
Jhené: you know I did that for us. She wouldn't have stopped if I hadn't gon to see her. I told you everything that happened when I was with her. Honesty, that's what you said right. But you still don't think I'm telling you everything. Well why dont you have that private investigator of yours give you the details. Maybe you'll believe him.
Nicki's eyes shot to hers
Jhené: yes I know about him. Honesty. It works both ways you know. I didnt tell you I was going to see her because you would have never agreed to me doing it. But it's whatever. I'm going to shower.
She walked away. Nicki closed her eyes and let out a deep sigh as she laid back on the bed. When Jhené got out of the bathroom she was fast asleep. She kissed her lightly on the lips and pulled the cover up over her. She went around to her side of the bed an laid staring up at the dark ceiling for most of the night.

When Nicki woke up the next morning in bed alone. She sighed looked at the empty side of the bed and got up heading for the bathroom. When she was showered and got back to the bedroom there was a note on her pillow. She took it up and read
"Good Morning. I made you breakfast, enjoy"
But she really didnt feel like eating. She got dressed in sweats cause she had 1 rehearsal before the show later. She got her phone and called Jhené but she didnt answer so she sent her a text
"where are you"- BabyCakes
But she didnt respond

She looked at the four pregnancy tests she had done and sat on the edge of the tub still in disbelief.  They each had two pink lines that indicated she was pregnant. She felt the tears forming in her eyes and closed them causing them to slowly run down her cheek. She got up walked to the bathroom sink and washed her hands, then her face, she dried them with her towel and made her way to the bedroom and crawled into bed. As she pulled the covers over her she heard her phone ringing. She took a deep breath and threw the covers back; she had left her phone in the bathroom. She checked to see who the call was from when she got back in bed but she didn’t recognize the number, the phone began ringing again.

Shanell: hello

She answered

Lauren: hi

Shanell: oh it’s you

Lauren: you sound like you’ve been crying

Shanell: I sound like I’ve been sleeping because I was. What do you want?

She lied

Lauren: don’t take that tone with me and you know why I called you. Did-

Shanell: yes I did the test

She cut her off

Lauren: And?

Shanell: And?

Lauren: stop beating around the bush. Are you pregnant or not?

She was quiet.

Shanell: I haven’t gone back to check yet

Lauren: well go

Shanell: I’ll call you back

Lauren: no just go check and tell me

Shanell: you’re acting like it’s yours. Hold on

She put the phone on hold and ran her hand over her face. She laid there just looking at the ceiling trying to gather the courage to lie to Lauren. She was a nervous wreck when she took the phone off hold.

Shanell: I’m… I’m not pregnant

She said in one breath. But the way she said it, the way she hesitated Lauren knew she wasn’t being honest.

Lauren: you’re not a very good liar

She didn’t say anything

Lauren: have you told him?

Shanell: there’s nothing to tell I just told you I’m-

Lauren: lying and you know it so stop!! I won’t let him hurt twice. He needs to know Shanell.

Shanell: I don’t want to hurt him either Lauren that is exactly why I’m not telling him. It’ll make my decision much easier to deal with.

Lauren: you’re decision? You’re thinking about having an abortion?! Are you fucking crazy right now?! Do you know what that’ll do to him?!

Shanell: That is exactly why he will not find out!! YOU BETTER NOT BREATHE A WORD OF THIS TO ANYONE!! DO YOU HEAR ME?!

Lauren: I’m not gonna just stand aside and let you do this to him!! He has a right to know Shanell!

Shanell: I’m not having this convo with you anymore. Just keep your mouth shut about this!

She said and hung up. She put her hand protectively over her tummy and cried herself to sleep.

Jhené: are you going back to the studio after we finish lunch?

Nicki: yeah. I have to meet up with Wayne he wants to talk about doing a show in New York

Jhené: when?

Nicki: he didn’t say yet

She said reaching over and wiping at Jhené’s mouth with her napkin

Jhené: thank you and ok.

Nicki: I’ll let you know as soon as we speak though. So how has your day been going?

Jhené: great so far. Spoke to my mom. She and my dad are planning to come back for month. Daddy misses running his business (they both smiled) and she says they miss having Tay around. Oh and she wants to spend some time getting to know you

Nicki: What’d you tell her about me? *giggles*

Jhené: only good stuff of course *smiles* and apparently Tay keeps bragging about you

They laughed.

Nicki: did she tell them about her and Candi

Jhené: If she did mom would call me freaking out. They still know her to be straight

Nicki: she needs to tell them the truth though

Jhené: I’ve told her that so many times since she told me and now that they’re coming she is going to have to.

Nicki looked at the time and checked her phone. She had put it on silent once she met up with Jhené.

Nicki: mmkay. I have to get back. Wayne was calling me. Where’d the waiter go?

Jhené: It’s ok babe I got it.

Nicki: I did it again... Sorry.

Jhené: It’s ok.

Nicki: Ok

She stood and Jhené stood to hug her.

Jhené: enjoy the rest of your day.

Nicki: you to hun. Yours later right?

Jhené: yeah. What do you want for dinner?

Nicki: just surprise me

Jhené: ok

Nicki: Love you baby.

Jhené: love you more she responded before she left the restaurant. She called the waiter over, paid there bill then went back to work.

She woke with a terrible headache and her stomach growled as she sat up in bed. Her eyes were puffy from crying and she felt a bit light headed so she closed her eyes and rested her face in her palm for a bit. She took a couple deep breaths and got up to go pee.  When she walked into the kitchen she had to hold on to the counter to not fall. She really needed to eat. She tried her best to gain her balance and hurried to put a sandwich together. She ate it as she called and ordered some Chinese. She didn’t feel for anything she had to cook so she made herself another sandwich and waited for the food.

After she ate she made some tea and went to lie down. It was after 6 when she checked her phone and she had a few missed from Lauren again and a few from Safaree. She was scared to call him back because she didn’t know whether Lauren had told him about the baby or not. Just as she was about to put the phone down it started ringing. He was calling back but she ignored the call. She fell asleep shortly after.

He decided to go see her. He took his keys up and as he opened the door he was met by Lauren who was just about to knock on the door…
