Megan's POV:

I'd been watching the girls like a hawk when I could to see if I could see the signs. I even just straight up asked Honey if she was pregnant just because I could tell when she lying right away since she raised her eyebrows while doing it. But she wasn't and I figured, she had never had sex with a boy. But Blue and the twins definitely have. Blue was more secretive with her boys but since Tariq died, I knew she had gotten her period after he died so that left the twins. I loved my twins but those little suckers were sneaky and kept a new boyfriend since they were 13 and allowed to talk to boys. Gia had been holding steady with Darryl and Giselle was back on with Sergio but truly I thought she was Bi so I was always second guessing it.

After lunch, going to one more store and then home, I asked if I could talk to the twins but Honey stopped me saying her and Blue needed them and snatched them away. Bey went to take 4oe out with Rih and I went upstairs to find Nicki standing in front of the mirror taking a selfie of her and her bump in a cute black sports bra and tights. I closed the door and walked over kneeling in front of her and wrapping my arms around her waist. I kissed her bump and felt my babies move around. I stayed that for awhile as it was easing my would-be panic attack.

Nicki started raking her nails through my hair and spoke quietly.

"What's the matter Meg, you look like you want to cry."

"I'm panicking Mamas, what if one of the twins is pregnant?"

"They're not, I made them take a test and they got their periods this morning."

"Really? Oh, Thank God!"

"Megan, you've been stressing about that?"

"Hell yeah! I didn't want to be a Grandma before 45"

"Good, I don't want to be one either. I told them to make their men wear condoms and they have to take their birth control in front of me for the rest of the month."

"I know they complained about that."

"No, they were okay with it."

"Oh...well I wonder where that paper came from?"

"...Lauren."

"Lauren? Lolo's pregnant?"

"No, she just was late, she took a test and isn't pregnant."

"Oh, damn...I feel dumb."

"No, you were concerned. I was too. She mentioned taking one to me but it didn't click for me until this morning."

"Oh."

"Yes, besides it's only room for one pregnant person in this house."

I stood and kissed Nicki on the forehead before wrapping my arms around her waist. I rocked with her from side to side enjoying feeling her bump between us, babies moving around.

"I was thinking..."

"I'm not going to the damn gym."

"No, and yes you are but I was thinking, you should have the babies at home."

"What?"

"A home birth, like Kelly comes here with her Nurse and you have the twins here. More comfortable in the bedroom, no stuffy hospital."

"What about the kids? I don't think I want them to see that."

"They can be at your Moms or at Tina's and then we can call them after all the medical stuff is over."

"That's a thought. I'll talk to Kelly about it."

I hugged Nicki as Normani came in saying Honey was having a panic attack in the bathroom and wouldn't let her in. I let Nicki go and ran over to Honey's room and got her bathroom door open. She was sitting on the floor with her phone at her feet dry heaving into her knees that were pulled up to her chest. I got down on the floor with her and put my hands on the side of her face.

"Relax Honey, it's okay, let's slow your breathing okay? In....and....out...in...and....out....in....and....out."

"No, I can't...breath. I can't...breath." Honey stammered out crying harder.

"Normani, what triggered her?" I ask turning to Normani who was beside me putting a wet compress on Honey's neck.

"I don't know, everything was fine and she looked at her phone and she freaked out."

"What's on the phone?" Nicki said behind us picking up Honey's phone.

Nicki looked at Honey's phone and gasped before covering her mouth. She flashed the phone at me and I gagged at the sight and read the attached message. I managed to push the sight from my head and focused back on Honey.

"Honey, it's okay. It's not your fault that Skai had a miscarriage. It's not your fault, you aren't her baby daddy and sometimes things happen for a reason. Honey, Skai can't blame you for that."

"It's my fault...she texted that...Kentrell hit her and that she wanted...to come over...and I said...'No'."

Normani hugged Honey and I tried to calm her down but she eventually passed out in Normani's arms. She came too within a minute and just laid there. I was able to keep her calm and Padre' got her some water and Nicki gave me Honey's phone with the message wiped off before excusing herself from the room. I faintly heard her crying as she went out with Beyonce following her.

I picked Honey up and carried her to her bed and told Normani to get her some water while Padre' checked Honey's pulse and said that it was normal. I kissed Honey's forehead and just relaxed her and kept her calm. After an hour, Honey was asleep and Normani said she'd keep an eye on her and tell us if anything changed. But knowing Honey, she wasn't going to get up again until morning. Leaving the room, Padre' hugged me in the hall and I put my head in her shoulder.

"Send Skai flowers and candy and maybe a small envelope of cash to get her through this. I feel sick, seeing that much blood brought back memories of my loss and that...uggh...I'm going to be sick."

I went to the guest bathroom down the hall and lunch came up. I was sick for a while before just sitting by the toilet gathering myself. I got up and used some mouthwash before checking on Nicki who was lying on the bathroom floor with her head in Bey's lap. I needed to get some air, so I changed into workout clothes and a fleece jacket and hat and left out for a run. A mile in, I sat on a park bench and just watched the geese walking around and the current in the water.

Getting back home, Mama Tina was in and was making dinner and talking to the twins who were at the table with Papabear eating. I greeted them and kissed all my babies on the forehead before going up to check on Honey. Honey was still asleep, and Normani was next to her watching TV. I quietly left and went to check on everyone else before taking a shower. Feeling better, I washed my hair and got out. I dried off and dried my hair with my blow dryer before putting in some leave in conditioner and putting it up. I almost forgot about my hair appointment in the morning for some braids and didn't want to wake up early to wash it.

Sitting outside on the patio, I saw Padre' left me a rolled up blunt and glass of wine and I had both and just relaxed and said a quiet prayer in my head for my angel twins, Baby C, and Skai's angel baby.
