"hey mom". jack softly said opening the front door, nalani ran screaming for jack as nolan laughed softly running after her. "dada". she screamed tugging on his shorts, "no!". she screamed shoving nolan back,

nolan fell back on his bottom busting into tears. "buddy you are fine come here". jack sighed kneeling down picking nolan up, nalani waved at maggie who smiled at her. "hi sweetie wanna help me make some cookies?". nalani smiled grabbing her grandma's hand the two walked to the kitchen as jack rubbed nolan's back who was sniffing.

"nalani didn't mean to do that". jack softly said kissing his tears away, "you okay now buddy?". nolan nodded chewing on his fingers, "mama?". he asked jack who was reading a text message from his label, after that near death experience jack's label wanted him to make music more after his music sales skyrocketed in support for him.

rolling his eyes nolan reached over gently tapping his face, "mama?". he asked again before laying his head on jack's shoulder. "ok buddy let's go see what mommy is doing". he said standing up, the two walked upstairs down the long hallway. "you tired?". jack asked knowingly as nolan yawned loudly rubbing his droopy eyes.

opening the bedroom door jack walked towards the bathroom seeing the light on, monica lay on her crossed arms sleeping peacefully in the bath tub. "the hell". jack thought as nolan smiled sitting up, "mama". he said before jack placed him onto his feet,

jack sighed rubbing his forehead in frustration for the past couple days monica and him constantly had silly fights and arguments. "mo you okay?". he whispered rubbing his finger across her forehead waking her up.

furrowing her eyebrows monica look up at jack, "hmm?". she mumbled, "you fell asleep again in the tub, i asked if you were okay". she stared blankly at him.

"yeah i'm okay". she lied glancing up at him, "i'm just tired are you okay?". she softly asked as nolan ran towards the tub smiling at her. "mama". he softly said leaning over wrapping his arms around her wet body. "hi my baby".

grinning harder nolan pulled away pecking her lips, "hi mama". jack eyed monica in concern "you need help out the tub?". jack asked grabbing her dry towel, shaking her head monica pulled the drained. "jack you just got out the hospital I should be helping you not the other way around".

jack ignored her reaching over wrapping the towel tightly around her body, accidentally pressed against her stomach monica shoved jack's hand away. "your stomach hurts?". he asked "no i'm good". she lied as jack helped her out the tub.

nolan stayed close beside monica who ran her fingers through his soft hair, sitting on the edge of the bed monica hunched over in pain wrapping her arms around her aching stomach.

maggie stepped inside the bedroom, "jackman?". she asked glancing at jack who was kneeled in front of monica, turning towards his mother he smiled at nalani who held a tray of cookies.

walking over to them nalani held the plate towards jack, getting a whiff of the cookies monica stood up walking towards the bathroom shutting the door making nolan's lip tremble. "is she okay?". maggie asked jack who nodded.

brandy locked the door behind her before taking her heels off, "jack?". she asked walking towards the living room, jack sat up from the couch putting his songbook beside him.

"take a seat by me sis". he said tapping the open spot beside him, brandy raised an eyebrow "why you on the couch? mo kicked you out the room?". she asked laughing "yes and no".

"what's wrong with your sister? and don't lie to me". he gritted, "nothing is wrong, she needs to tell you herself".

jack sighed in defeat "fine i'm just worried about her, she's not sick is she? she's always tired". he said looking at monica who was slowly walking down the stairs, getting up jack ran over helping her. "i'm not handicapped". she spat snatching away from him. "what the fuck is your problem monica!?".

flinching in fear monica nose flared as she looked up at him, "w-why you yelling at me for?". she cried rubbing her arm in comfort, running a hand down his face in frustration jack eyed monica, "ain't nobody yelling at you! i can't help you now?".

"no i don't need it you are supposed to be taking it easy not worrying about me i'm fine!". monica said rolling her eyes, maggie opened the front door allowing the twins to run inside, they both held their own baby sized ice cream cones.

"no you aren't! you literally been keeping something from me since i woke up! what's the secret?!". jack screamed reaching over snatching her towards him, brandy went to walk over only for monica to slap jack across the face making the room silent.

brandy walked over grabbing monica who was shaking, "don't be putting your hands on my son when he's did nothing but take care of yo gold digging ass!". maggie screamed rushing over pointing her finger in monica's face.

jack knew it was a pet peeve of monica, jack wrapped an arm around his mother pulling her beside him "mom don't". he said sighing, "don't? no she can't think it's okay to put her hands on you". she gritted shaking her head.

monica shoved brandy away from her before walking towards the stairs, nolan whined running over towards monica. "mommy?". he asked "no sweetie stay over here". maggie softly said gesturing him over towards her.

nolan ignored his grandmother running after monica who was sitting on the floor in their bedroom, walking over to her nolan cuddled into her side "is ok". he softly said rubbing his hand against her stomach, leaning down he placed a gentle kiss on it.

jack looked down at monica who was holding back tears, "mo i'm sorry". jack softly said kneeling in front of her, "no i'm sorry for slapping you are you ok?". she asked glancing over at jack who pouted "no you knocked the mario coins out me".

monica laughed loudly rubbing her droopy eyes, the two looked at nolan who was sleep peacefully against her stomach. "he gets that slobbing on people from you". jack teased, "leave my lil man alone". she whined looking over at him. "jack". she whispered taking a deep breath.

tears welled in monica's eyes "i-um went to the doctor's and i'm pregnant b-but they told me i have hg and i-i could die being that this baby has been kicking my ass". monica softly said, "it's a lot to tell you but if it comes down to it don't hesitate to save our baby".
