"What?" A smile appeared on Dominic's face as he pulled her in for a hug. Just the thought of Ava possibly carrying his child made him happy.

"Don't get excited yet I have to take a pregnancy test."

"I know. But what if you are pregnant? I mean, Shawn was right. Y'all do have some type of pregnancy pact going on." He joked before she playfully hit him across his chest.

"This wasn't planned. I'm not sure if I'm even ready for a baby." She nibbled at her bottom lip as she stood there in deep thought. She was the one who always talked about not having kids. She wasn't ready for one.

"If you're pregnant, I know you're gonna be a great mother. We're gonna be perfect parents." He assured her. The kind words made her feel somewhat better about the situation. The only thing that was on her mind right now is buying a few pregnancy tests.

Benji stood in the doorway of the kitchen as he watched Noelle warm up Brielle's bottle. She had been quiet all day and he was worried about her. Everything was good going before but then things went downhill. Instead of wrapping her leg around his while they slept together, her back was now facing him and she barely said two words to him.

"Why are you watching me?" She asked once she grabbed the baby bottle from the warmer.

"Because I like what I see." He smirked. She brushed past him and walked up the staircase. Benji followed behind her and watched her ass sway from side to side in her black Nike leggings. Once they reached the second floor, he grabbed her waist and pulled her closer to him.

"Come on Benji—"

"What? You don't want me touching you now?" He asked as he kissed on her neck.

"I have to feed Brielle." She told him. She felt him reach into her leggings before she roughly pushed him off of her.

"I said stop!" She yelled at him. She hadn't realized the way she yelled at him until he held his hands up in surrender. She entered Brielle's room and shut the door.

"Noelle, I'm sorry." He said as he tried to open the door. He sighed once he realized it was locked. She didn't realize how emotionally scarred she was from her last run-in with Cory until she felt Benji reach into her pants.

For the past few days, she hadn't been feeling like herself. Even though Benji was back and Cory was dead, she still didn't feel like herself. She'd been through so much and it was now taking a toll on her.

After feeding Brielle and putting her to sleep, she opened the door and saw Benji sitting on the carpeted floor next to the door.

He stood up once he saw her. "I'm sorry—"

"It's not your fault." She told him as she entered their bedroom. She laid in bed and patiently waited for him to lay next to her. Without any hesitation, he climbed into bed before she rested her head on his chest.

"I haven't been feeling like myself lately. I feel so...ugly." She spoke as tears welled into her eyes. "I feel dirty. And as much as I scrub my body I can't stop thinking about what Cory did."

He sighed while rubbing her back. "You not ugly. In fact, you fine as hell. I wish I can make you stop feeling like this. Do you wanna talk to a the—"

"No." She sniffled. "I don't wanna talk to nobody about this but you."

"You sure?"

"Yes. I don't wanna talk to a stranger. What am I gonna say? 'My boyfriend faked his death while I was being stalked by his jealous best friend'."

He laughed at her smart remark. "I just want you to feel better. I wanna get back to the way things were. Maybe we need to get out of the house."

She lifted her head up and looked at him. "And go where?"

"I have a place in mind. But I can't tell you. I'll ask my mama to watch Brielle for the weekend. What 'chu think about that?"

"I don't mind."

"Alright. I'll look into a few things. It'll be perfect. I promise." He placed a kiss on her forehead before closing his eyes. He didn't have anything planned yet. He just knew that whatever it was, it had to be perfect.
