Arianna stood in Rae's bathroom, her hand holding the unused pregnancy test, shaking from her nerves that shocked throughout her body. Rae had made a valid point the other day, suggesting that Arianna took a test, her symptoms were getting stronger, and she needed to know.

Rae knocked lightly on the door, knocking Arianna back into reality, her throat clogged with a lump of fear. "Yeah," she called out, her voice shaky.

"Girly, did you take it yet?" Rae questioned, her hand gently resting on the handle, eager to open the door for the results.

"No," she said, her voice cracking slightly. "Not yet."

Rae sighed heavily before taking a step back from the door, giving Arianna her space. She pulled the test out of the packaging, and popped off the clear blue cap from the tip.

She pulled her pants down, sitting down on the toilet allowing a few drops to empty out her bladder, before fully taking the test. After finishing the instructions, she cleaned herself up, and pulled her clothing up.

She placed the test on top of a piece of paper towel, before sitting on top of the toilet lid, and bounced her leg eager for the results. Her mind began to race as she thought back to the pregnancy with Ayla-pregnancy definitely changes a person.

"You good, my baby?" Rae questioned, peaking her head in the bathroom, seeing a nervous Arianna.

It was no lie that she had a fear of having another baby, due to her past experience with DeMario-she was scarred.

"I love him..I do-but I'm scared." Arianna mumbled, glancing up at her best friend, who leaned against the bathroom counter, after setting a five minute timer.

"Girl," Rae started, her head titling to the side as a soft, comforting smile graced her lips. "He would love to have a baby with you, he not Dame."

"Dame wanted Ayla, too-in the beginning." Arianna said, a deep, trembling sigh escaping her lips. Her best friend stared at her for a moment, her head shaking at the small statement.

"Stop," Rae said, lifting her best friend's head up, and locking eyes with her. "Trevon is Trevon not Dame-stop comparing them."

Arianna's lips turned into a small smile, nodding her head, as she quickly wiped her tears away with the pad of her thumb. Rae smiled before she glanced down at the test, still awaiting the results.

The girls sat together, rambling to allow time to pass, and momentarily taking her mind off of the test. "Girl, you remember when they got into their first argument?" Rae chuckled, her eyes glimmering with memories as they talked about Ayla and Raeleigh.

"Oh," Arianna giggled, her head flying back at the moment. "How could I forget? They literally argued over who could be Moana."

Rae shook her head, while she continued to chuckle, and smile at the memories. "We were so fed up that day. You told them that nobody could be Moana not EVEN the voice actress."
