Donnie: what are yall having?

Devante: A girl!

Donnie: WOW! nice! well congrats to the both of you!

Pilar: (screams) THANK YOU!

Devante: thank you! (smiles)

Donnie: alright guys! i guess that was an exclusive announcement about the pregnancy. (they all laugh) but, please stay tuned, we have Bobby Brown coming up next.

---AT THE BOYS' HOUSE---

Jo-Jo: damn De! you didnt tell us that P was pregnant!

Devante: me and P wanted to keep this a secret because she has been having complications with the pregnancy, and we didnt think that she would be pregnant for long. her family doesnt even know.

Dalvin: wow! well we totally understand. and we wish nothing but the best for you!

Devante: thank you!

---AT THE DEGRATE RESIDENTS---

Pilar: (laying in bed and answers the ringing phone) hello?

Malina: girl! i just saw the show! you're pregnant?!?!?

Pilar: (giggles) yes!

Malina: congrats honey!

Pilar: thank you! she'll be here in February. its been a rough process. ive been having severe morning sickness and my headaches are crazy!

Malina: hmmm.

Pilar: sometimes in bed, i just let De do all of the work. and he understands, because he doesnt want to do anything to jeopardize the baby.

Malina: thats sweet! its almost like you and him suffered a miscarriage and he doesnt want to go through that again. but thats never happened.

Pilar: right! (saying that while trying to keep their miscarriage a secret). but im gonna talk to you later.

Malina: okay! bye!

-They hang up. and as soon as they hang up, she gets another call.-

Pilar: hello?

Phyllis: (sings) my baby's having a baby!

Pilar: yes mama, i am. (laughs)

Phyllis: how are you feeling?

Pilar: tired and nauseous.

Phyllis: yeah. i had that problem with you and Margarita. but its so great that im having a second granddaughter!

Pilar: oh yeah! how is Marianna?

Phyllis: she's doing good! i love that name Marianna!

Pilar: thats the Spanish name that you gave her, even though she was named after her father, Suge, Marian?

Phyllis: of course! and Suge's name is Marion as well! so it would be weird calling them the same name.

Pilar: just call her MJ. (giggles)

Phyllis: no! (laughs) but what are you gonna name the baby?

Pilar: Camille! (smiles)

Phyllis: aaaahh! so we'll call her Camilla!

-(Pilar's POV) It's a tradition for both the boy and girls of the Spanish community to have 2 names. one English and one Spanish. say if you're name is Anthony. you're name in Spanish would be Antonio. we would call you by which ever name. but at a Spanish gathering, we will call you by your Spanish name. but the English name for us who were born in American, will be the legal birth name. but my family has their own tradition, probably because we were born here.-

Pilar: you seem to be very happy. im glad! but im gonna get some sleep.

Phyllis: alright. bye!

-Pilar then hangs up, and instantly feels Demita's spirit.-

Pilar: (closes eyes) thank you so much for the experience and love that you continue to give me, Demita! im gonna give you a baby sister.

-She then goes to sleep.-
