**NICKI POV**

We walked into the room, there was an older woman, a woman around my age or older, a young man maybe about 19 and an older man.

"Hey sis.. sup bro.. Hi auntie." I noticed Drake addressed everyone except the older man, I'm assuming is his father. "Sis, Bro, Auntie this is my lady Nicki. And umm... Hows everyone feeling?"

"Hi everyone." I said nervously, I felt so awkward. They were all here mourning their lost, and all of a sudden I pop up.

"Hi Nicki, I'm Drake's sister, Brianna." The woman managed to smile.

"Hi" I hugged her, "I'm sorry for your lost."

"Thank you " she nodded after I had withdrawled from the hug.

"Hey Nicki, I'm Drake's brother, Jordan." The man smiled.

"Hi Jordan." I hugged him.

"Hey Nicki, I'm Aubrey's Aunt Sandra. Nice to meet you." The older woman said.

"Hi ma'am. " I hugged her, "Nice to meet you too."

"David, I think its rude of you not to speak to Nicki." Drake said sternly to the older man. The awkward feeling came back...

"Drake its fine really. I came at an unfortunate time." I said.

"I don't think its fine." Drake grumbled.

"Hi Nicki," David said holding out his hand.

"Hi" I smiled shaking his hand.

The doctor walked in, "how are you all holding up?"

Sandra spoke for everyone, "Good enough, whats the news."

The doctor took a deep breath, "I'm sorry to inform you all on the passing of Sandi Graham."

"Its official guys." Sandra started to cry again.

Jordan sighed deeply, "she's in a much better place auntie."

I couldn't take it, I left out the room. I hadn't noticed Brianna and Drake had followed me though.

"Baby... whats up?" Drake asked.

"I don't feel too well," I held my stomach.

"You wanna get checked while you're here?" He offered.

"No I'm fine. Besides, I can't just take your attention now, at a time when your family needs you most." I bit my lip, turning away from him so he wouldn't notice the on coming tears.

"Let me at least walk you to the restroom. Maybe some girl talk will be good for the both of us." Brianna said, guiding me away.

"Okay then, don't take too long! " Drake called after us.

Brianna looked over her shoulder at him, "we wont."

In the bathroom, I sat on the counter by the sink, Brianna stood beside me.

"You really don't have to do this." I said.

"I know but.. I'm just checking. Besides I went through what you're going through so.." She explained.

I gave her a confused look, "What are you talking about? "

"Sweetie.. I've been through pregnancy before. This is the first few signs. Well, have you and Drake been.. you know... lately?"

"You're kidding right? I mean, you don't look like you've had a kid before. How'd you even notice I was pregnant though? " I was still amazed.

She paused, it seemed as though she was counting in her head or something.. My stomach started feeling funny, then her counting was out loud, "well umm.. 3..2.."

At that moment, I started throwing up in the sink. She held my hair back for me.

"I told you.. and actually I have 2, Spirit and Sade." She informed, "So.. when are you gonna tell Aubrey? "

"He knows." I said, cause I mean he did.. sort of. "How old are your 2?"

"Spirit is 3 and Sade is 7."

"My daughter would have been turning 4 next week and my son would've been 7 by now." I started crying.

"Awe Nicki.. Maybe you and Drake need to talk about this one.. come on" She rubbed my back and started leading me out to the hallway.

"Hey.... Nika, why you have tear stains? Bri?" Drake looked up at Bri confused.

"Drake, we did it." I smiled.

"What are you talking about?"

"I'm pregnant."

He picked me up and spun me around. "Holy Shit! Nicki we have to tell everybo-"

"Drake, I really don't think its the best time."

He put me down and his smile disappeared. "Baby, why not? They're gonna be happy for us."

I sat down on the floor against the wall and cried.

"Shit," I heard Drake mumble, which made me feel ten times worse. He picked me up, "Bri, I'll be back a little later okay? And DO NOT tell them Nic is pregnant."

"Drake put me down."

"Why?"

"I don't want to be the reason why you're not with your family right now."

"You won't be. Bri, just tell them I got emotional and uhmm.. I needed to leave ok?" He called to Bri.

"Okay Aubrey.. See you later. And congrats on the pregnancy guys." Bri said as she walked back into the room.

"See?" Drake looked me in the eye.

"No no no, I'm not letting you leave this hospital."
