Beyoncé's Apartment
Atlanta, Georgia
9:30 am

Beyoncé walked downstairs to the door when she heard someone knocking. She looked through the peephole and saw Jay, so she opened it.

"Hey, I thought you weren't coming by until a little later. Why aren't you at work?" Beyoncé asked him.

"I decided not to go in today. I thought that you might need me more today. Have you eaten yet? I brought you breakfast," Jay told her as she stepped out of the way for him to come in.

She closed the door behind him as he went and sat the food down on the kitchen counter.

"Thank you Shawn. I do need you today," she said before she hugged him, and he kissed her forehead.

Today was the day that she intended to tell her family that she was pregnant. She had made the decision to not make a public pregnancy announcement until she was out of her first trimester and showing.

She knew they would all be surprised.

She wasn't too worried about telling her mom or sister. It was her dad and Odell that she was worried about.

She remembered how her father reacted when Tyra told them that she was pregnant. She remembered the huge argument it had caused between her parents. Her father went off on Tyra, and Tina wasn't having it. That argument and some other issues caused Tina to put him out for a period of time.

Beyoncé was sure that after the way her father would more than likely react to her pregnancy new, her parents would get a divorce because Tina was not going to allow him to mistreat her children.

She knew Odell wouldn't like it either, and it would probably end up being Tina and Tyra on one side and Odell and Mathew on the other, with Beyoncé in the middle.

She was just scared of the inevitable fallout, but she refused to let her dad and Odell ruin this for her.

She was really excited to be pregnant, and she wanted to be a mother to her child more than anything she's ever wanted in her whole life.

She found it strange and amazing how being pregnant had already changed her life so much. She had no idea how she could love a person so much, having not even met them yet. She was already ready and willing to do anything and make any sacrifice for her child. This was already the most beautiful experience of her life.

"Let's eat," Beyoncé smiled as they let go of each other.

"You can go get the food out. I'm gonna go to the bathroom real quick," Jay told her.

"Okay," she nodded.

Beyoncé went into the kitchen while Jay went to the bathroom. She had started pulling out the food when he heard a phone start ringing.

She knew it wasn't hers, so it had to be Jay's. She saw his phone sitting on her kitchen counter. She picked it up just to see who was calling.

She wouldn't have answered the phone had she not gotten upset by the person who was calling him.

It was Cassie. Beyoncé answered his phone and put it up to her ear.
