Rihanna's POV:

Driving with the ladies after dropping Papabear off at school, I was excited and nervous for Nicki's Doctor appointment. She woke up late and was dragging for awhile before she had a few sips of my coffee and perked up. Bey and Meg were in the back looking at baby things online. At Kelly's office at the birthing center, everyone hopped out and I held Nicki's hand as we walked in and got put in a room. They took out for blood draws and another test and Kelly came in with a clipboard and sat. We talked to her for awhile before Nicki came back and got on the table. Her poor little arm had a few band-aids on it meaning they couldn't get vein right away.

We all gave her a quick hug before Kelly went over her results and started an ultrasound. We all held hands and Kelly spoke.

"You're getting a start of a bump already huh? Normal after multiple pregnancies."

"Yeah, I had to put on maternity tights this morning." Nicki said yawning.

"So, here's the new addition, I'm going to get some measurements and then we'll get another look...and...look at that, another baby. So congratulations...looks like the pattern is not a thing because...there's three. There's 3 babies."

"Huh?..3?" I say in shock.

"Triplets!" Megan and Beyonce said unison mouth wide open.

"Yes, look. Baby A and Baby B are together and Baby C is right here just a little to the left. I'll double check that's all....and that's it. Let's hear some heartbeats!"

The sound of three heartbeats rang out through the room and my legs felt weak. Looking at Nicki who was in complete shock, I felt dizzy.

Beyonce's POV:

Rihanna dropped to the floor like a sack of laundry and hit her head on a nearby armchair. The Nurse helped her and Megan hugged Nicki who was in shock like me. I asked Kelly to verify, and she did. She kept going on the scan and confirmed that it was a set of twins in one sac and one baby in the other. Nicki got up and said she felt sick as Rihanna woke up. Nicki went to the bathroom with Megan following and I checked on Rihanna who was holding her head as the Nurse put an ice pack on it.

"What happened?"

"Umm, you fainted." I reply while rubbing her arm.

"I know but...why?"

"Okay, so there's three babies."

"3 babies? 3?"

"Yes. A set of twins and a singleton."

"Woah...good thing we have the 15 seater, we'll still all fit." She chuckled.

"Look, I don't want to say anything in front of Nicki just yet but sometimes all of the multiples don't make it past the first trimester. Especially once you go over two, but we'll talk about that in 3 weeks. I'll get you some juice."

Kelly left out and Rihanna and I hugged, and Megan came back in. She was smiling and rushed over to us.

"She's so mad, she's literally pink in the face. But she's in the van sitting with a cup of ice. You okay Padre'?"

"I'm fine, you'll have to drive though Meg."

Kelly came back with some juice and Rihanna had it before Kelly took her blood pressure and a nurse wheeled her to the van. She hopped in the back and laid down and Megan and I got in.

Megan started to drive as Nicki got a phone call from the school. She answered on speaker phone barely able to talk.

"Hi, Mrs. Maraj-Fenty, It's Principal Briggs, I have Gia and Giselle in the office and I need to talk to you in person about an incident."
