This shit was tough, you know losing my mom and everything but Nicki was by my side through the whole thing. It was tough for Papi as well. But I just had to focus on my career now. Nicki dropped her album a couple months ago and I was working on dropping mine at the end of this month. So I had to wake Nicki up to work on the tracks we got to finish and then I will be almost done.
"Nicki wake up we gotta go to the studio again" I said and she got out of bed and ran to the bathroom and locked the door.
"Nicki you alright?!" I asked shaking the door handle.
"Yeah I'm okay" she said and she opened the door a couple minutes later with a toothbrush in her mouth.
"Damn Nicki you had to go to the bathroom that bad?" I asked then let out a laugh. Then she spit out her toothpaste and rinsed her mouth out.
"Uh, yeah" she said and quickly walked past me and went on her phone.

Nicki
I was about to call Sherika so she can get me some pregnancy tests from the store because if I got caught there the media would go crazy and imagine TMZ :
"Nicki Minaj seen coming out the drug store with pregnancy tests. Is she pregnant with Meek Mills baby?!" They would probably say.
I had to keep this a secret from Meek as well so if I wasn't pregnant he wouldn't know that I had a scare.
"Hey Rika I need you to get something for me" I said quietly so Meek wouldn't hear.
"I got you. What you need Nic?" She asked.
"I need some pregnancy test." I said. Then the phone got quiet.
"Are you still there?" I asked.
"Uh uh yeah I'm still here. I was just outta words" she said.
"I know I'm shocked as well. But I gotta go I don't want Meek to hear" I said.
"Alright bye." She said and hung up. Then I flopped down on the bed.
"You don't want Meek to hear what?" He asked laying next to me.
"Uh nothing. I was talking to Sherika about...girl stuff. Where's Papi?"  I asked changing the subject.
"He still sleep" Meek answered
"I'll go wake him up then start on breakfast" I said and got up.

Meek
I've been with Nicki long enough to know that she was hiding something from me and I think she pregnant but I didn't want to say anything.
I just wanted to be focused on getting my album done plus if she was pregnant she would tell me. I think.

Nicki
I was making breakfast for Papi.
"You want a little or a lot" I said holding scrambled eggs.
"A lot" he said and I laughed a bit and I wasn't going to give him a lot because he wouldn't be able to finish it and I didn't want my baby to be stuffed.

Rika - I'm at the front gate
Me- ard I buzzed you in
Rika- K I got the tests unlock the door
Then I turned my phone off and gave Papi his plate and  juice box then went to open the door.
"Hey girl" she said and we hugged.
"Hey how you been" I said walking with her into the kitchen.
"Real good how about you" I said
"Alright" I said
"Here" she said handing me the bag with the test in it.
"Hey! Auntie Sherika!" Papi said running up to her.
"Hey lil man how are you" she said and bent down to hug him.
"Good. But guess what?!" He said
"What?!" Sherika said
"I got pass level 10" he said
"Really?! Im gonna help you get pass 11 today" she said and Papi's eyes got wide.
"I meant to ask you can you watch him today" I said and she nodded her listening to Papi talk about his game so I went to the bathroom and took the pregnancy test. The longest three minutes of my life I was sitting on the toilet waiting for the results and it came up positive and I just didn't know what to think or how I would tell Meek. So I put the cap back on the top and showed Sherika.
"Congratulations!" She yelled
"Shhhhhh" I said and she looked around the living room cautiously.
"Oh sorry. When you gon tell him?" She asked.
"I think I might just sit him down at the studio and tell him there" I said and she nodded.

Meek
"Hey can y'all leave the room for a second please" Nicki said still in the recording booth.
"Yep" the Dj and the Chasers answered.
"Nicki wassup" I said and she came out the booth and sat next to me on the couch and held my hands.
"I'm..." she said but then looked away nervously.
"You can tell me Nic" I said and she let out a sigh.
"I'm pregnant" she said and she let a slight smile string across her face.
"Well, I'm happy" I said.
"Meek I'm scared" she and leaned on my shoulder.
"Don't be it all gon be good" I said
"How far along?" I asked
"The test said 3-4 weeks" she answered
"Then we can go to the doctors then right?" I asked because I don't know anything about pregnancies and womanly shit like that.
"I pretty sure we can" she answered 
"I love you" I said then pecked her lips
"I love you too" she said back.
"Oh, and I love you too little one" I said rubbing Nicki stomach and she giggled.
"I'm not gonna have a baby bump until I'm at least almost 3 months" she said.
"But still. I love you two" I said
