"I thought I was going to easily leave Suge and be with Eric but it didn't go exactly as planned ." - Karma 1994

October 1990

Karma danced to the beat of the music as she rehearsed for the Grammys. Her album came out next year but she was nominated for three awards. She was excited plus she already started working on her dress.

Vivian watched as she did the dance perfectly and smiled to herself. She was worried about Karma she didn't know what was going on but Karma changed her mind about the abortion and the annulment.

"Certain things ain't meant to be that's why (that's why) , He's right here with me." Karma sang as she held the microphone. "I said don't you know he's with me."

Soon Karma finished her number and sat next to Vivian who handed her a bottle of water and quickly sipped it. She fanned herself as she panted.

"You okay ?" Vivian asked her as she nodded

"I'm just tired." Karma said with a small smile. "But we have to get to the studio." Karma spoke as she looked at Vivian who nodded

"It's like a thirty minute ride so take a nap in the car." Vivian said as she nodded as they got up and left out of the building into the car

Karma laid her head in Vivian's lap as she slept and Vivian rubbed her scalp since it always calmed Karma. She smiled looking down at Karma's face as she looked at beautiful glow she had.

The car soon parked in front of DeathRow and Vivian woke Karma up and they exited the car. Karma tiredly walked into the building speaking to all the staff before walking to the studio seeing Andre and Suge.

"Wassup Baby." He said to Karma as he kissed her cheek and she smiled softly

"Hey." She said softly before hugging Andre. "Dre you got some heat for me ?" She asks as he nods

"You know all I got is heat." He said making her laugh as he played a soft R&B beat and she smiled nodding her head

"Oh yeah I like this." Karma said as she looked through her song book. "I got a song for this." She says with a smile

Some of the goons walked into the studio and one had a blunt which made Karma gag. Andre noticed and looked at her concerned.

"You good ?" He asks as she nods her head

"I need a trash can." She says as she gets up to the trash can outside of the studio and threw up all she could

Vivian stood beside her as she rubbed her back and soon passed her a bottle of water. She sipped it and swished it around in her mouth before spitting it back out and walked into the studio again.

"Put that out." Suge says to guy as he nods his head. "She can't be around that shit right now."

"You don't smoke no more K ?" Andre asks as Suge smiled

"She didn't tell you the news yet ?" Suge said as he smiled and Karma shook her head

"What news Karma ?" Andre said speaking her full name which she knew meant that he was about to pissed

"We're expecting." Suge said happily as Andre looked between the two before Suge pulled and ultrasound out of his wallet. "That's your little niece or nephew right there."

"Congratulations." Andre said dryly as Karma just looked at him slightly saddened

It wasn't the way she wanted him to find out plus she knew he was upset because he would've been the first to know. But it wasn't exciting for her either , Suge was only sparing her because she was pregnant.
