"Amina? Love?" Tara calls out and I groan trying to let her know where I was without opening my mouth. A few seconds later she walks into the bathroom and sees me on the floor, she gasps and bends down next to me. "What's wrong baby?"
"I don't know," I say finally able to talk. "Something feels wrong," I tell her and lean over the toilet to vomit again. She grabs my hair from out of my face and rubs my back.
"Baby girl you might be pregnant," she says after a minute.
"What? No, I can't be pregnant, I can't have a baby, Tara I can't have a baby," I say crying.
"We don't know for sure, but it's a possibility, when was your last period?" She asks.
"Um, about a month ago," I tell her getting up and flushing the toilet. I go to the sink to brush my teeth and Tara rubs my back.
"I'll be right back," she says and runs out of the bathroom. She comes back a minute later and hands me a box. First Response. "Pregnancy tests."
"Just to make sure. There are two in there," I nod and open the box, I squat over the toilet and pee on the first stick, then I do the same for the second.
"Two minutes," I sigh and take a deep breath. Tara stands in front of me and gently takes my face in her hands.
"Everything will be alright, I promise," she says and tilts my head back so she can kiss me. We stay interlocked until we hear the front door open. I look at the clock, then I look at the two tests.

"Oh my God," I say crying.
"It's okay my Love, it'll be fine."
"How is Cain going to feel?"
"He'll be happy," she says and he walks into the bathroom.
"He'll be happy about what?" He asks looking around. His eyes go wide when they land on the tests. "Amina? Are you... pregnant?"
"I guess so," I say.
"This is good, we get to expand our family."
