Hey, Trix,� Nickolas said walking into the kitchen a few days after the tour ended. He got a bottle of water and looked back at Trixie. �Is Loni home yet?�
�She went outback,� Trixie replied.
�Is she ok?�
�You�re always so worried, Nickolas.�
He grinned and Trace said. �She looked a little upset over something. She didn�t say much so don�t ask.
�I wasn�t going to,� Nickolas said. �Do you know if she ate lunch?�
�No we don�t,� Trixie answered. �She came home and went outback.�
�Ok,� Nickolas said going outside.
�He worries too much about her,� Trixie stated.
�At least he cares,� Trace said.
�I guess so.�
�She could be with a guy that doesn�t.�
�True.�
�Or someone that beats her and is his personal whore.� Trixie looked at him. �And it�s a good thing she ain�t with anyone like that.�
�Yes it is. Nick treats her good.�
�Yeah he does.�
Trixie nodded. �If only I can find someone like that. Someone as sweet and caring for me as Nick is to Lon.�
�You will, but he won�t be exactly like Nick, because no two people are the same.�
�No shit.� They laughed. �I don�t want someone exactly like Nick anyway.�
�That�s good, because Lon might think ya want her man.�
�I don�t though.� They smiled. �What time is it?�
�Going on three.�
�I guess I should get ready for work.�
�What time do ya get off?�
�Nine.�
�Do you want to meet up at Tabu?�
�I guess so.�
�Ok.�
�What time?�
�Is ten good?�
�Yeah.�
�Alright.�
�Ok.�
�I guess I�ll see ya then.�
�Yep.�
�Ok.� Trixie smiled and Trace went upstairs.

�Hey, Princess,� Nickolas said sitting beside Valondra on the swing. She looked at him and he kissed her.
�Hi,� Valondra said.
�Everything ok?�
�Yeah.� She shrugged. �I don�t know.�
�What is it?�
�I took a pregnancy test yesterday, because I�ve been late.�
�Ok.� She handed him the pregnancy test and he took it. �Wha-What does plus mean?�
�It means positive, Nick.�
�Oh.�
She sighed. �I was hoping it was just a false alarm, ya know.� He nodded. �But I went to the doctor just in case and�� She took a deep breath. �And, um��
�You are?� She nodded. �We�re pregnant?�
�Yeah.� She handed him the doctor�s papers.
�Um�wow!�
�Yeah.� They sat there in silence a few moments and Nickolas looked at the doctor�s papers. �I don�t know what to think or what to do.�
�Me either, Princess.�
�How are we going to�what are we going to�why are we��
�Calm down, Princess. We�ll figure something out.�
�This wasn�t supposed to happen yet.�
�I know.�
�We�re not even married.�
�I know that.�
�It�s supposed to happen after we�re married for a while.�
�Everything�s going to be fine.�
�I can�t handle this right now.�
�We�ll work it out.�
�But we�re still young, Baby.�
�People our age are having kids everyday so it�s nothing new.� She didn�t say anything. �Our baby will be taken care of.�
�I ain�t worried about that. I just ain�t ready to be a mommy right now. I wanted to wait until we�re married.�
�I know, but just remember this baby was created out of love. If it wasn�t there would be no sense in having it.�
�I guess you�re right.�
�I am.� He kissed her and she took the water bottle from him. �We can do this.�
�I hope so.�
�Together we can do anything.� She grinned. �We made a baby after all.� He gave her a playful nudge and she smiled.
�You�re going to love this aren�t ya?�
�Uh�yeah I think so.�
�Of course.�
�You�re going to love watching me get fat and feeding my face all the time.�
�You�re going to be so cute.�
�Shut up.�
He put his arms around her. �So when are we due?�
�In October sometime.�
He nodded. �According to the doc you�re two months along so therefore you�re be, like, six months in July.�
�Yeah.�
�So what do you want to do?� She looked at him. �Wait until the baby comes, get married earlier, or keep it the same?�
�I don�t know yet. Can we just talk about it later?�
�Sure.�
�I�m just trying to grasp on the whole pregnancy thing.�
�I guess it�s going to take some time.�
�Yeah.� He kissed her forehead and she laid her head down.
