Psalms 42 || Tori Kelly

Live

"Is there a point in asking?" Ariana asked as Tori got up from the table and moved to the cleared section of the couch, propping her phone up, and getting her Instagram ready.

"With Tori? Is there ever?" Demi chuckled, following her friend, and fixing her hair in the process.

"So, what's the plan, because I'm pretty sure you haven't announced your pregnant again and we have never been on live together," Ariana asked, taking a seat on the opposite side of Tori. The blonde of the group shrugged and hit a few buttons before grabbing the blanket behind her and placing it over her baby bump.

"Wow, that's not suspect at all," Demi giggled, as Tori looked between her friends.

"Okay, so here's what I'm thinking. We aren't going to talk about my pregnancy. We are gonna talk about random stuff. Music, whatever. Ooh, hold on," Tori paused, getting up and grabbing her water bottle from the table. On her way back, she sat it on the side table and took her seat. "Umm, wait ,wait, wait," she said taking a deep breath as a contraction hit. Ariana and Demi stared at her with concern. Both women had had children and knew a contraction when they saw one.

"Tori, are you sure you shouldn't be at home resting or something?" Demi asked, ready to shut the entire thing down. Tori shook her head as the pain passed and she resumed her thoughts.

"Yes, I should be, but I'll be fine. This baby is not coming anytime soon. That was barely anything," she downplayed. Ariana and Demi glanced at each other, mutually agreeing to proceed with caution. "Anyways, assuming I don't have another contraction in the middle of the live, while we are talking, I'm going to reach over Demi, giving the camera a good shot of my bump, and come back. We aren't going to say anything about it. We'll make up an excuse and hop off. The rumors will spread and take some of the pressure off of Abiah and put it on me. I can see it now. "You and your kid are pregnant at the same time?" The mommy shaming will drown out anything they have to say about her," Tori planned. While, not sure how great of an idea this was, the singers knew it was a sure fire win.

"Are you sure you're prepared for that kind of backlash? Stress is not what you need right now, clearly," Demi asked, concerned for the fetus her friend was carrying.

"Guys, seriously. I'm fine," Tori assured.

"Alright, if you say so," Ariana mumbled, flicking her hair back and waiting for Tori to start the live.

11:24 AM

Tori, Ariana, and Demi scrolled through their feeds watching it blow up with snippets and screenshots from Tori's live of, not only, Tori reaching over Demi, but Tori throwing in a few stomach caresses to really sell it. "Worked like a charm," Tori smirked, liking a few of her fans post of love and support.

"So this is what the beginning of chaos looks like?" Ariana mumbled through a smile. Demi shook her head and took a sip of her water.

"Girl, three powerhouses in one live, and one of them nonchalantly just announced without announcing that she was pregnant hours after her daughter announced her own pregnancy. This is what breaking the internet looks like," Demi laughed, before hearing her baby monitor go off. Ariana's heart pitter pattered as she heard the one-year-old crying. "She would wake up in the middle of brunch, when daddy isn't home," Demi faux whined, leaving the table to go get her baby girl.
