"Hey, Kiara, what's wrong?" Ava asked me.

I felt exhausted. I'd had a lot of work and I needed a little break. I was currently sprawled out on the couch, trying to rest before my legs gave out beneath me.

"I'm tired." I said to her.

"Aw." She cooed, making me sit up for a second so she could sit. She had me place my head in her lap and she stroked my hair gently.

She played with my hair and she talked to me. She was there for me like the perfect big sister that she was.

"How do you feel? You're looking a little squeamish." She said to me.

"I feel off." I said to her.

"Off?" She asked me.

"A little dizzy.... I think I may have overworked myself, or I was out in the sun for too long today." I said.

"Did you go view a piece of land?" She asked me.

"Yeah. I was helping with the landscaping design that the client wanted. We weren't sure how to achieve it and where to place the building and the dimensions and stuff. So we went there." I explained to her.

"Yeah. Maybe you were out for too long." She said, putting a hand over my head.

"Does your head hurt?" She asked me.

"No. My legs are all wobbly though and I feel off." I said.

"Just lay down and rest for a while, Sweetheart." She said.

I nodded and closed my eyes. I was so exhausted that I fell asleep in only a matter of minutes. Ava just continued her stroking. I woke up to the sound of a door slamming and jumped up.

My stomach suddenly wasn't feeling too great.

"Ava?" I said, shaking a little bit.

"Hey, I'm right here." She said softly. "It was just Eleanor running in."

I nodded and put my head back down on her lap. She started stroking my hair again and I was able to fall asleep.

When I woke up again, everyone around me was watching a movie.

I looked up and found myself still laying on the couch with my head in Ava's lap. She smiled at me and she pointed to the water in front of me on the coffee table.

I grabbed it and drank down the whole cup. I sat up against Ava and we cuddled a little bit.

"Hey, I've been meaning to ask you this." Ava said to me.

"What?" I asked her.

"Do you and Vidal plan on having kids soon?" She asked me.

"No." I shook my head.

"So, you've been on birth control?" She asked me.

"No. We just use condoms." I said, turning red.

"Alright." She nodded.

She handed me a plate full of brownies that Fifi had just baked. I grabbed one, then two, then a third, and a fourth, and eventually, the entire plate was gone. I frowned at it, wondering how I managed to eat the entire plate and still not feel full.

Momma brought over a pizza for us and I also ate three huge slices of it.

"Hey, Princess." Momma said softly, sitting beside me and handing me another slice of pizza.

"Hi, Momma." I smiled, resting my head against her shoulder.

"Hey, Kiara, I'll be right back." Ava said.

I nodded and then Momma asked about work.

"How was work?" Momma asked me.

"It was good. You wanna see the design for the garden?" I asked, picking up my phone.

I showed her my design and she smiled.

"Wow, it's so pretty." Momma smiled.

"It's gonna be gorgeous!" I giggled.

I started going on and on about how I made the plan and how we were going to do the interior design for the building. I told her how Vidal looked over all the architecture sketches and then he'd send them off to the engineers to check over them. She smiled and kissed my forehead, listening to me tell her about work.

"That's a lot of work, Princess. You seem tired." She said to me.

"I am." I chuckled, resting against her.

"More than usual?" She asked me.

"Yeah and I don't know why." I sighed.

"Hey, Kiara...?" Ava said, handing me a bag.

"What's this?" I asked her.

"I think you should take it." She said to me.

"What is it?" I asked her.

"A pregnancy test." She told me.

"N-no... we used protection. I'm not pregnant." I said, feeling my blood freeze in my veins.

"I know. But just take the test just in case, and I can go with you to the doctor tomorrow and we can get you on some birth control pills. Those will be better for you." She told me.

"Al-alright." I said, getting up and going to the bathroom.

I took the box out of the bag and I took the two tests out. I stared at them for a moment thinking how I should take both just to be sure of the results.

It's ok, Kiara, you literally can't be pregnant.

Just calm down and take the tests.

I peed on both the sticks and I put them down on a paper towel while I waited. I washed my hands and capped them. Then I walked out with both of them in my hands.

"What happened?" Ari asked me.

All the girls were now gathered there waiting for me.

"I don't know yet." I said softly, sitting down beside Ava and putting the tests on the table in front of me.

"It's ok, Kiara." Rosie said to me.

"It's not ok." I said, my hands shaking as I ran them through my hair.

"It is. It's fine, I promise."Ava said.

"Yeah. No matter what the test says, we're all here for you." Juliet told me as Ari made her way over and hugged me.

"If you're not pregnant, it's perfectly ok. If you are, you're gonna have a little you running around, that's beautiful." Mabel said to me.

"I don't want a little me, not now." I sighed.

"It's ok. You have months to prepare, and you have a whole family to look after you and your baby." Momma told me.

"I know but it's still scary." I said.

"I know, baby, I know. But let's take this one step at a time. Just check the results and then we'll handle them." Momma said.

I picked up one test with shaking hands and looked down at the two lines outlining the positive result. I threw the test aside and grabbed the other one, only so see the same result on that one too.

"No.... I can't do this." I said, looking down at my belly.

I was responsible for a perfect little creature. Me. Kiara. I could barely even take care of myself, this poor baby didn't deserve this.

"Hey, listen to me, baby. It's ok." Momma told me.

"No. No. It's not fair." I said, putting a hand over my belly.

My poor baby. I wasn't ready to be a momma. I could never be good enough for my poor baby.

"What do you mean, Kiara? Sometimes things happen that aren't planned or expected. But this is life, sweetheart. It's going to be ok. We're all here to help you out." Aunt Em said to me.

"I want Vivi." I sobbed, rubbing my belly.

My poor baby. This is so horrible.

My baby was going to suffer with a momma like me. How was I meant to protect and care for the little creature. They would be so precious and perfect and I wouldn't be a good enough momma. I didn't know anything about babies and taking care of them.

"Ok. I'm calling him, Kiki. Just don't cry, baby." Fifi said to me.

"I want Vivi. I can't do this! I can't do it!" I cried.

"You can do anything, Kiara. You're the strongest girl I know." Mabel told me.

I shook my head, sobbing and holding my belly to protect it. But I couldn't protect it from having me as a momma. I couldn't fix that. Maybe I could learn to be a good momma. But I just wasn't made for it. I didn't know anything about this.

"Come on, Kiara. Relax. He's on his way." Ari told me, hugging me tightly.

"Cupcake? Why are you crying?" Eleanor asked me.

"Hey, cutie." I said, trying to calm down for her.

"Why are you crying, Cupcake?" She asked me, looking at my hand on my stomach. "Does your tummy hurt?"

"No, baby. It doesn't." I said, letting her climb into my lap.

"There's a baby in here." I said to her.

"Oh my goodness! Now I will have a baby cousin!" She cheered.

I started sobbing and I hugged her.

"It's ok, Cupcake! There's no need to cry!" She told me.

"I love you, sweetheart." I said to her.

"I love you too, Cupcake! And baby....Uhm.... Firecup!" Eleanor giggled, kissing me on my cheek and then moving off my lap and kissing my belly.

Everyone thought it was the cutest thing ever. It calmed me down a little bit, but I still felt horrible for bringing a baby into the world that I couldn't protect because I didn't know how.

But eventually Vivi arrived and it was time to break the news to him. He was probably going to be devastated. I couldn't take care of a baby. I wished I could but I didn't know how and Vivi didn't even want a baby right now. I just hoped he wasn't too angry.
