Nicki pov-
Waking up too the sound of my alarm, I rushed to the bathroom because I had the urge to throw up. I got in the shower washing my face and brushing my teeth, I got out throwing on a hoodie and some pants not really feeling today I put my hair in sleek bun and headed to work. I got there seeing everybody including Sherika, Candi, Thembi, and Makila "Hey Cookie" Candi said I waved going too the back so I could put away my things away. "What's up wit you?" Kaila asked "Nothing I just feel sick" "Sick as an pregnant sick?" Thembi asked a little to excited "No bitch I am not pregnant so cut that shit out" I said "If you say so, what's bothering you though?" Candi asked "I threw up this morning and all last night, nothing major but let's not discuss this because I am NOT pregnant" I said emphasizing the word not "Ok but one more question" Thembi said "What?" I asked getting mad because I know im not pregnant "When is the last time you and Meek had sex?" "Valentines Day" I said simply "Welllllllll Nika im not trying to make you mad or anything but Thembi might be right it is a possibility of you being pregnant due to the fact that you did tell us you and Meek had drunk sex, it's no telling what happened" "Im on birth control and there's no need im already mad" I said "Bitch please you are not on no damn birth control anymore" Kaila said as I walked off because as of now I was pissed at all of them, I'm not PREGNANT and I know it. As the day went by I was still throwing up so the girls wanted me to go too the emergency room but I didn't want to what if I am pregnant..... I can't be... Me and Meek aren't ready for this were to early in our relationship. "Onika" Candi said pulling me out of my daze "Yes Candi" I said "What's up wit you? You seem like something's on your mind heavy, you know you can talk to me about anything. Right?" Candi said and at this point I couldn't handle it anymore I bust out crying thinking about a lot of things. "What if I am pregnant and Meek doesn't wanna be with me anymore?" I asked "Then he better wanna be with the lord cause that's where he going" Rika said making us all laugh "Nic you know growing up mama(Nicki's mom) always told us "In the real world you're gonna have to deal with the consequences for ALL of your actions" Candi said "So therefore that's what you gone have to do, if you are pregnant then deal with it because that's the consequence that come with the action of having unprotected sex" I took in everything they just said to me while taking a deep breath. "I guess I'll go see what's wrong with me" I said dryly still in deep thought about all of this "Umm you guess we'll go see what's wrong cause bitch im coming with you" Rika said "Me also!" Candi said "Ill stay with Thembi" Kaila said "ok" I said "Call us" Thembi said "Love you bestie" Kaila said "Love you more" I said walking too my car "We riding with you" Candi said getting in the front seat. On the way there the girls were trying to comfort me because you could see the nervousness all over my face, while pulling up I took a deep breath before getting out if my car going in.

Meek pov-
Yesterday Nicki had told me she was sick and didn't wanna be bothered so I decided that I'll go and pay her a little visit at work. Pulling up I didn't see her car there but I still went inside just in case she was here. "Is Nic- "Ohhh well hello Meek" Kaila said cutting me off "Wassup Kk" I said giving her a hug "You know you the only person that calls me that stupid shit" she said mugging me "Yep, that's exactly why I call you it my signature name, and damn thum-b you can't speak?" I asked laughing because I know she hates when I call her that, I low key have a name for Nicki and all her friends "Haha real funny robot" she said calling me robot as always "Where's Nicki?" I asked realizing that she obviously wasn't here "She left not to long ago I don't know where she went though call her" Kk said "Alright well I'll see y'all later bye" I said heading towards the door "Bye" Thum-b said since Kk went to greet a group of customers.

As I was filling out paper work Thembi was facetiming me.
Phone convo-
N- Hello
T- So robot just pooped up at the store out of no where looking for you an-
N- Where did you tell him I was I said cutting her off
T- Well we didn't expect him to come so Kaila told him that you had left not too long ago and didn't tell her where you were going, he's probably about to be calling you soon
N- Ok good looking out ill "Onika Maraj" I heard and looked up seeing my doctor, I'll call you later I said hanging up getting up with the girls following my doctor. "So from what im seeing you're having pregnant symptoms" she said looking at my paper work "Were gonna run a few tests on you and find out what's going on, have you been sexually active lately?" she asked "Yes" I said "Have you taken any birth control lately?" "No" I said "Ok, well im gonna need you to pee in this cup real quick so we can go test it" she said handing me a cup. I went in the bathroom too pee while holding back tears, at this point I just know im pregnant I just need my doctor to verify it. After I gave her the cup she left out, looking at my phone seeing Meek calling I answered
Phone convo-

N- Eh not really, I gota tell you something
M- What?
N- Later, I'll come over once I drop Candi and Rika off
M- alright bye
N- bye
Me and the girls were talking when my doctor finally came back in causing us to all look up "Well sorry for interrupting but Ms.Maraj I have some good news" I nodded my head for her too continue "Well the results came back and it looks like as of. March 7 you are 3 weeks pregnant" she said I started crying, while thinking maybe a child won't hurt me after all like my mommy always says you have to deal with the consequences for all of your actions . After scheduling my first doctor's appointment we were leaving "Yayyyyyyy im gone be a tete" Rika sang while hugging me which made me smile seeing that I really do have friends that are there for me no matter what. "So can I be the baby's god mommy?" Candi asked "Candice bitch quit playing wit me" I said laughing "So I guess that's a YESSSS!" she said dancing in her seat, after dropping the girls back off at my store I headed to Meeks house his car was there so I knew he was there, I took deep breaths in and out before going too the door. I knocked and was surprised to see Chino answer "Wassup sister" he said giving me a hug "Hey Chino, Meek here?" "Yea, he playing the game" he said letting me in. I went in the living room too see Meek and Tak playing the game per usual "Wassup baby" Meek said not looking at me because he was to focused on the game "Hi" I said going too his room because I didn't wanna sit and watch them play the game, I took my shoes off and got in his bed turning on the tv after almost an hour Meek came upstairs "Wassup wit you?" he asked getting in the bed "Nothing why you ask that?" I asked knowing good and well why he asked me that "No I mean what you gotta talk to me about?" he asked looking me in the eyes which made me even more nervous "Stop looking at me like that I said sitting up "Nicki what the fuck is up with you cause you've been acting rea- "im 3 weeks pregnant" I said cutting him off as fast as I could "Wait wait wait you what?" he asked turning my face so that I was looking at him "Im 3 weeks pregnant" I said slowly, he put his face in his hands not saying anything "Hello what the fuck does that supposed to mean" I said getting an attitude "Nothing im just not ready for another child right now" he said "Ok and? Suck it up just like I did, you should have been thought about that as many times as we have had unprotected sex" I said kinda "Well it's really nothing we can do about it" Meek said dryly showing no emotion "Well I don't have time for this im about too go call me where you done acting like a girl" I said putting on my shoes leaving. I really wasn't in the mood to deal with the way Meek was acting about my pregnancy. I decided to stop by my mother's house and tell her also. "Hi momaaaaa" I said giving her a hug "Nika my baby girl I missed you so much" she said letting me in "Sooooo" I said hesitantly "What is it?" she asked "Well you know how I've been telling you about Meek" "Yes" she said smiling "On Valentine's day he took me out and we had way to many drinks" I said taking a deep breath "Ok where are you going with this "We had drunk unprotected sex which led up too me getting pregnant, I just found out today that im three weeks" I said trying not to cry once again. "Aww my babyyyy girlll she said pulling me in for a hug, why aren't you happy?" "A baby is a blessing" she said "I didn't think you'd react this way" I said "Why wouldn't I you have a very stable job, a home, and a car, im very happy for you, I know this isn't how you may have wanted things too go but things happen baby and and just have to deal with it" everything she said was one hundred percent true "I told Meek but he said he isn't ready for another child which I completely understand but it seemed like it was more to it, as if he doesn't want to have a baby by me at all" I said sadly because if anything I'm glad that my first child will be by Meek due to him being there for Papi all the time "Well baby you never know maybe he does but just isn't ready right now" my mom said "And I completely get that but he could have at least said something nice about the whole situation or asked how I felt because he don't know what was going through my head" I said "Right" my mom said "I still wanna meet him Onika, you've been beating around the bush for to long now and plus your having his baby so I have to meet him, I'm pretty sure you've meet his mother" my mom said "I have and ok mom as soon as we get things worked out me, you, and Meek will go to The Cheesecake Factory since you love eating there" I said smiling "Ok and should I tell your brothers?" my mom asked "I mean why not they'll find out eventually, Jelani may be mad but who cares, my life my decisions" I said shrugging "And you are most definitely right because it's nothing he can do about it" my mom said "Well you know what how about I tell them so they won't complain about not hearing it from me" I said "You sure?" ny mom asked due to me not really having the same bond with my brothers that I used to since Jelani has a girlfriend whom I fucking hate and Ciah just be doing his own thing. "Well mommy I should be heading home I've had a long day today" "Ok baby I love you so very much start popping up more often" my mom said and I took note to visit her at least once a week. "I love you so very much more" I said saying I love you so very much was our little thing since I was young. I got home finally going upstairs plopping down on my bed falling asleep before I could do anything else.
