"We'll be fine. You wanna know why? Because were Nikki and Vanity."
She nodded, staring up at him with eyes full of hope and love. "...And we get through everything. We'll be okay."

"Vanity Blackwood?"
Van looked up from the magazine she was reading as she stood up from the uncomfortable doctors office chair. Vanity grabs her purse and jacket as she follows the nurses technician to the back. The nurse led her into a room with a counter along the side and a bed in the middle.
"So, were here to confirm a pregnancy?" The nurse asks, looking away from the clipboard and papers as Vanity nods.
"Yeah, it would be nice. I mean, I took three tests already....I just, I need to be sure." Vanity explained, fumbling with her fingers as she sat on the edge of the table.
"That is only natural." The nurse smiles, handing her a gown, "Your shirt needs to come off but you can keep your pants on, just unbutton them. I'll leave you too it and the doctor will be with you shortly." The nurse said kindly before leaving the room.
Vanity did what she was told before climbing on top of the table, the crinkle of the paper loud as she got as comfortable as she could. She stared up at the ceiling, rolling her eyes. The panel above her was a scene with a field of flowers an a kitten sitting in the middle of it. She fiddled with the engagement ring on her finger as she waited patiently, trying to come up with an idea on how to tell Nikki they were gonna be parents. Maybe she should do something cheesy. She smiled, putting her hand on her stomach as there was a female doctor that walked in.
"Hello, I'm Dr. Travis, but you can call me Scarlett." She introduced her self, extending her arm out for a handshake.
"Vanity Blackwood, but everyone calls me Van." She smiled as she watched Scarlett walk around the room, grabbing gloves and gel before turning on a monitor and a machine.
"Okay, Van. So you took some tests and they were all positive?" Vanity nodded, Yeah, I took three of them. I also haven't had my period for a little over a month, it's usually always on time." She explained as the doctor nodded.
"Well, lets take a look. Shall we?" Scarlett spoke, putting on the light blue sterile gloves as she lifted up the white sheet a bit.
"Hey, I have a rose on my hip too." The doctor said, glancing over the tattoo as she chuckled.
"Yeah, a wild night when I was sixteen. I didn't notice I had it for like a week." Vanity giggled, gasping as the doctor put some gel on her lower abdomen.
"Sorry about that, it's always freezing. Is the father involved?" Scarlett questioned as Vanity nodded, "Yes, we are engaged to be married in a few months. But he's just working right now, I just gotta be sure I'm pregnant before I tell him. I'm sure he will be more than willing to come to other appointments." Vanity explained, watching Scarlett grab the wand from the machine and began moving it around her abdomen.
