It's 6 days later, Crystal is out for lunch with her friends
Waiter: can I take your drinks order?
Jazzy: I'll have a strawberry daiquiri
Kayla: I'll have the same please
Waiter: [looks at Crys] and for you mam?
Crystal: uhm I'll hav-
Kayla: [interjects] she'll have cranberry juice
Waiter: okay *walks away*
Crystal: Kayla what the hell??! I don't want no damn juice, I was actually in the mood for a glass of rosè
Kayla: nope! No alcohol for you until your appointment with Dr Avery
Crystal: [scoffs] you're wasting your time, ain't nobody pregnant
Jazzy: we'll find out tomorrow
Crystal: we?
Jazzy: yes bitch!! You're crazy if you think we're gonna let you go through this alone
Crystal: [smiles] I love yall
Kayla: we love you more, so how have you been? I'm sure you're excited for tomorrow
Crystal: lol not really
Jazzy: wait so you're not excited to have your man back after him being away for one long week?
Crystal: [rolls eyes] ion even know if he still my man fr
Kayla: trouble in paradise?
Crystal: something like that
Jazzy: what happened?
Crystal: well for starters he's been acting strange ever since this Nigeria trip popped up. And then when I drove him to the airport he rushed his brother off the phone after he mentioned some chick which he claims is his sister. That's not even the worst, do you know that during the time this nigga has been away he only called me ONCE!!! And it was barely even a call fr, he was just checking in
Jazzy: wait what!? So you haven't heard from him ever since?
Crystal: nope, nothing! Shit I don't even know if he's coming back tomorrow but I doubt it
Jazzy: damn sis that's messed up!! You know now I kinda hope you're not pregnant, because who wants a disappearing ass baby daddy
Crystal: [chuckles] I hope I'm not pregnant either! I'm at the peak of my career, a baby is just gonna complicate things
Kayla: I hear you sis but do you really believe that? Sometimes a baby can elevate your life for the better, if you are pregnant, that baby might just be the answer to all your prayers
Crystal: [sighs] idk I guess we'll find out tomorrow!
Kayla: so uhm Jazzy what's tea with you and Nicky?
Jazzy: [smiles] I really like him you guys, he treats me like a queen
Kayla: [smiles] I'm happy for you sis, I'm happy for all of us! -grabs her glass- let's toast to healthy relationships
Crystal: [chuckles] yeah imma sit this one out
Kayla: [scoffs] Jazzy?
Jazzy: [chuckles] imma sit it out too sis, don't get me wrong I like Nicky but we haven't really put a label on things and I don't wanna jinx it
Kayla: [rolls eyes] you guys are no fun!!
Jazzy: we still love you boo
Kayla: whatever, so Crystal how are you and Devale
Crystal: we're good actually! Better than we've ever been [smiles]
Jazzy: [side eye] oh lawd, girl pleaseeee don't tell me you let that lame ass nigga slide back into your drawers!!?
Crystal: [chuckles] Jazzy chill
Jazzy: nah don't tell me to chill, since when do you get all happy when talking about Devale?
Crystal: he's still my friend you know, my best friend at that! I'm allowed to smile at the mention of his name
Jazzy: yeah whatever, I hope for your sake you're telling the truth about yall just being friends! Lawd knows we don't need a case of who's the baby daddy
Kayla: no fr!! we get enough of that on Sistas EVERY WEEK! [chuckles]
Crystal: [scoffs] omg for the last time, I'm not fuckin pregnant!!! Can we just drop it
Kayla: oop, seems like the pregnancy temper is already kicking in [laughs]
Crystal: [chuckles] man fuck yall, my temper isn't about that. I'm just really mad at Josh
Jazzy: well if you so pressed why don't you pull up on the nigga?
Kayla: girl pull up refers to a driving distance, NOBODY'S flying hours just to pull up
Crystal: exactly!! That's just crazy! I mean what would I look like if I just showed up and he wasn't even doing nothing wrong? Maybe his phone got stolen or it's a network issue
Jazzy: yeah maybe or maybe he's laid up with some bitch as we speak
Crystal: Jazzy stop putting ideas in my head damnnn
Jazzy: I'm just saying sis, there's no harm done in being sure! Plus you've always wanted to visit Nigeria- this is your chance
Kayla: girl what happens if she gets there and the nigga innocent
Jazzy: duh, she'll just play the oldest trick in the book. 'SURPRISEEEE'
Crystal: [laughs] if I say I'll think about it, will yall accompany me?
Jazzy: oh you already know I'm down!
Kayla: [sighs] I have a bad feeling about this, but fuck it why not?

Later that night Crystal got a text from Josh which read:
Josh💌
Hey baby sorry I've been MIA, it's just been super hectic but mom's doing well. Anyway I'm just letting you know that I have to extend my trip, by 2 maybe 3 weeks... I promise I'll explain everything when I see you, love you😘
Crystal immediately tried to call him but it kept going straight to voice-mail. She forwarded his text to the groupchat with the girls
Fave trio💌
Jazzy: oh yeah somethings definitely up
Crystal: pack your bags bitches, we're going to Nigeria tomorrow!!
Kayla: what about your appointment with Dr Avery?
Crystal: shit idk, I'll figure everything out in the morning!
