Recovery came quicker physically to Tae's body then it mentally and emotionally did. Though she didn't truly know she was pregnant till the last minute she still couldn't get over the fact that she was carrying another human in her body, a child, a boy or girl that she'd never get to meet ever again. She was told through multiple Doctors that unfortunately once a miscarriage begins there's really nothing you can do to stop it.
Drake had been a little distraught himself, he had women tell him they thought they were pregnant before, he had women fake pregnancies to try and keep him around, he had women make him take DNA test for children that clearly carried none of his genetics, but this was different, this was real, there was proof laid out right in front of him. There was DNA taken from the discarded embryo and it was in-fact Drake's child. He himself couldn't get over the fact that there could have possibly been a kid running around here that looked just like him. He was Godfather and a "Tito" to the majority of his friend's kids, Spirt and Sade his nieces, who he was head over heels in-love with, but this was different. This was HIS child.
Tae had put distances between herself and Drake. She didn't want to be touched and she didn't want to talk about it, she was barely eating, the only time Drake did see her eating was when they were all at a restaurant, and she didn't want to be rude by not getting anything, he knew she was forcing herself. She'd lay in the bed with him, once he was in a deep enough sleep she'd sneak off to sleep in her original room by herself. Drake wanted her to be rid of her personal assistant duties but she refused. So that is what she turned right back into. She went from being his Girlfriend who happened to be his Personal Assistant, to his Personal Assistant who happened to be his Girlfriend.
"Good morning beautiful." Drake's voice ran through Tae's ears as she stood at the middle island of the kitchen she was looking down at the invitation Anna Wintour sent her for the Fashion Show and Dinner. A plate of untouched breakfast foods sat off to the left side of her. Drake surveyed the plate than her. At least she was trying to eat.
"Good morning." She said back looking up at him with a faint smile.
"That's your invitation?" He asked pulling open the fridge and grabbing a bottled water.
"Yea." She simply said looking back down at the fancy display of cards and paper.
"I'm going with you. Not to the Dinner or Fashion show, but to New York." He said as he stood beside her leaning back on the same island she stood at. She knew better than to argue with him. Drake was just as stubborn as she was, she also began to see how protective he was, she remembered a conversation she had with Chubbs, he had told her Drake was a possessive person, he was extremely protective of certain individuals in his life, sure his family and the friends that lived with him, but Tae was beginning to take a role of extreme importance to Drake.
"Fine." She said back still looking over the invitation, Drake pushed himself off the counter and positioned himself behind her his arms went around her shoulders and his face went into the crook of her neck, Tae's head went up as she looked straight ahead, she felt him squeeze her close to him, her eyes began to water, he kissed her neck then the side of her cheek. He then released her from his grasp. And walked up the stairs to the studio.
"Chubbs, I need you to get Tae's mom and sisters info, and have them flown out her...... Don't tell Tae though, ok?" Drake said through the phone to his best friend, as he slowly walked back to the studio.
"When you want this done?" He simply asked back.
"ASAP." Drake replied back before hanging up the phone and entering his studio. Drake knew that if anything could get Tae back to normal it would be her mother and younger sister. He had never met the two of them, but he needed Tae back to "normal" he needed her happy, and these were the two people that held that power.

Drake had managed to get a full day's work in, yet somehow 40 still out worked him, 40 literally lived in the studio. During the making of 'Nothing Was The Same' Drake had the recording booth set up like a small bedroom, that way there would be no reason for him to even leave the studio. It was a poke at 40's work ethic but in reality, Drake admired 40's ability to zone in on his work and never really get distracted.
As Drake pushed the door of his room open it was stopped with a "damnit" and multiple objects hitting the floor. Tae had her arms full of makeup brushes that she was going to wash in the kitchen sink. Drake looked down at the large variety of brushes. Then at Tae who was already kneeling down picking them up.
"I'm sorry baby, I thought you would be sleep by now." He said kneeling down in front of her to help pick them up.
"It's fine, I was taking them down stairs to wash them. You don't have to help me..... It's fine." She said while looking down at the scattered brushes collecting them in her hands.
"Tae it 1:30 in the morning, why you doing this now baby?" Drake asked as his brows frowned, looking at her confused.
"Because they need to be cleaned now..... It's fine Aubrey, you don't have to help me!" She slightly yelled back her voice annoyed yet shaky. She pulled brushes out of Drake's hands to avoid his help. Drake looked down at her as he stood up over her. Drake's jaw clenched, his brows frowning he was watching her fall apart right in front of him. Rejecting his help with something as simple as picking up makeup brushes, she was no longer looking him in the eyes. He had enough. Drake reached down grabbing her by the shoulders pulling her up as if she was a baby, he knocked the remaining makeup brushes from her hands.
"AUBREY!!!!" She screamed in frustration, he said nothing but pulled her into a bear hug, his large arms engulfed her body, one around her waist and the other around her back. "AUBREY! GET OFF OF ME! ...... GET OFF!" Drake's biceps bulged as he tensed up, holding her tighter. Tae's voice began to break as she tried to hit and push him off of her, tears began to fall from her eyes. "LET ME GOOOO!" Drake didn't budge he held on to her tighter, Tae's voice broke as she began crying her body went limp against his. "Let....me....go." She cried as Drake guided both their body's to the floor. He continued holder her on the floor as she cried in his chest, he laid his head on the top of her head as he let her breakdown.
