"Joey can you come get me please?"

"Jan I'm right outside just come out the room."

"Uh after what I just heard I'm afraid if I get up I'll just pass out."

"Ok here I come." He hung up and the door opened immediately. "Janet what's wrong with you? Did the doctor say something was wrong?"

"He said a lot of things wrong Joey I'll tell you in the car, just please get me out of here." He picked me up and carried me to the car sheltering from the paparazzi in the process.

"Jan are you going to tell me now or do I have to wait?"

"We have to redecorate the nursery." He looked at me through the rear view mirror. "Because you found out the gender?"

"Mhmm we need to change it too pink and add a couple things.... break a couple walls." I whispered the last part and he scrunched up his face. "Why are we adding stuff?"

"Because it's two babies Joey." He slammed on the breaks damn near sending me straight out of the window. "JOEY! What the hell! You trying to kill me!?"

"Are you trying to kill me? Janet I just want to make sure I heard you correctly.. you said you're pregnant but then you said two babies."

"Yeah I know." I said crying into my hands. "Really Jan? Oh my I didn't mean to make you cry I just was caught off guard."

"YOU?! You're not the one carrying the babies I am, I have to deliver them lose the weight in a short amount of time in order to film the music video for call on me, I have to get my family back together, I have to tell Justice she's having a baby brother and sister, and I have to-" The next thing I saw was all black. I woke up to Joey fanning me while I laid out in the hotel bed.

"Janet thank god your okay!" I squinted my eyes because of the light shining in my eyes. "Joey I'm in pain ah what happened?"

"You fainted in the car ranting about the babies but its okay we're home now."

"Where's Justice?" I asked sitting up against the headboard. "I don't know she wasn't here when we got in I'm pretty sure she's fine now though."

"She's probably with Travis I'll call her after I get some food."

"You know who else you need to call?" I rolled my eyes and got out of the bed. "Joey please don't start with me matter of fact get out, I'm seven months pregnant  I don't have the time for this please just leave."

Justice
"Ahh- ouchh!" I was sleeping in Travis's bed when I woke up with the worse cramps of my life. "Trav! Ouch! Trav!"

"What's wrong Justice?" He ran over to me and touched my forehead. "Baby what's wrong?"

"I- I don't know I'm just in so much pain right now can you help me please?" He pulled the covers back and we both jumped at the site.

"Oh my god where's your phone Justice!?"

"Why? For what?" He started looking through my purse and my jacket pocket. "I'm calling your mother because I think I have an idea of what this is."

"No! No please don't, don't call her."

"Justice your bleeding way too much and your pregnant this isn't supposed to be happening something's wrong. I'm calling her so just shut up!" He called her and on the third ring she answered.

"Hey this is Travis I need you to get here as fast as you can somethings not right and I'm scared and so is Justice so can you please hurry." He hung up and came over to me.

"She said she'll be here in less then five minutes." I was in too much pain to react so I just nodded my head and turned over. "Travis what if something's really wrong?"

"Baby I tell you all the time that everything happens for a reason no matter how painful, so everything's going to be all right even if you don't think so right now." His door bell rang and he ran to go get it. When he came back with my mother was with him.

"Justice what's wrong?!" I couldn't help but to cry, Travis came over and rubbed my shoulder. "Uh she woke up screaming for me and when I came in and pulled the covers back... well you can see for yourself." He pulled back the covers and she jumped.

"Justice... what's going on?" I couldn't think let alone properly form a sentence. "I-I-I"

"She's pregnant and I think she just had a miscarriage." Travis never looked my mother in the face because he was to busy taking care of me. She didn't respond but she just walked out of the room.

"JOEY?! Come here now!" They walked back into the room and he picked me up and put me in the car. "Travis you take your car and follow us, yeah?"

"Yes ma'am."

"I'm sorry momma I didn't mean to cause all of this stress let alone get pregnant." She pulled me in for a hug and let me cry in her chest. "Baby your old enough to do whatever you want with your body it's never a woman's fault when things like this happens, it just makes us stronger."

When we got to the hospital they told us exactly what we thought it was. "I'm sorry Travis I didn't mean to lose the baby, I'm so sorry."

"Baby it's not your fault and I'm not mad at you I could never be mad at you. I love you." He kissed me on the forehead and finally looked up.

"Holy shit, It's Janet Jackson!" I started to laugh at him but stopped because it hurt really bad. "Hello it's nice to finally meet you Travis."

"That's why you didn't want me to meet your mother, because she's literally the sexiest thing alive....n-n-next to you of course."

"Well the doctor said we could leave now the process would just keep going until the bleeding stops there's nothing they can really do." Mommy said.

"Ok." Travis picked me up and took me to the car that mommy and Joey came in and placed me in. "Baby call me before you go to sleep or if you need me to come over, I love you."

"I love you too."

"Nice meeting you Ms. Jackson." He said winking. "That's Janet to you Travis."

"He gets to call you Janet?" She laughed. "Baby I really have to let you listen to my music your so uncultured, Joey lets go I'm pretty sure we all want to sleep after today."
