INT. COTERIE  - LOUNGE - early morning

Mallika sits on the couch with her head in her hands

Mariana walks out of her room with a blanket

MARIANA
Here

MALIKA
Mariana I'm not cold

MARIANA
Well i don't know what to do okay, my moms always piled blankets on me whenever I was sick..or sad

CALLIE
Shes not sick Mariana, shes pregnant

Malika groans as she leans back on the couch

MALIKA
We dont know that...please..stop

CALLIE
It said positive...

MALIKA
And like Davia said it was an expired pregnancy test, it can be wrong....God where is  Davia by the way, it should not take this long to get a new one

Mariana frowns as she sits down

MALIKA
(Sighs)
I'm sorry...i know you guys are just trying to help

CALLIE
Can I ask you something?...personal

Malika looks at her

CALLIE
You know you have options right? Its your choice, no matter what...

MALIKA
Yeah i know...im pro choice

Mariana looks down at her hands

MARIANA
(Quietly)
So if you are you're not gonna go through with it?

Malika looks at her and shakes her head

MALIKA
I didn't say that...i just need to figure out for sure if I am and if I am then I need to know what issac is gonna do

ALICE
Do you think he would leave?

MALIKA
I dont know, we've never talked about it before...I would hope not

CALLIE
If he does and you do decide to go through with it you do know that we're here for you right? You have 8 built in babysitters

Malika nods lightly as she sees Davia step out of the elevator

Davia walks through the coterie doors quickly

DAVIA
Okay, sorry that took so long

Malika takes the box from davia

DAVIA
I got you the most expensive one I could find...

MALIKA
Thank you. I'll pay you back

DAVIA
Malika..you know you don't have to

Malika takes a deep breath as she opens the box

DAVIA
I also checked out by the pharmacy and the women working said that while they are accurate that it doesn't hurt to go to the doctor to know for sure...even if it's negative since the first one was positive and expired

MALIKA
(Nods)
Okay...wish me luck

MARIANA
Good luck

The coterie girls watch Malika go in to the bathroom

DAVIA
Pee quickly, I really need to go to work...

CALLIE
Really not helping

Davia sits down as everyone gives each other silent glances of worrisome

MALIKA
I'm too nervous to pee!

ALICE
Just think about water!

Davia looks at the girls
