Cherish sat on the side of the bathtub in her hotel room. She held the test in her hands, the plus sign met it was positive. She was pregnant.

What am I going to do? How will Drew take this? Will he leave me? It's so sudden I don't even know if he wants kids- we've never really talked about it.

A thousand thoughts were racing through her mind as she shoved the test back in the box with shaking hands.

What will her big brother say? She wasn't sure if he would be happy—or angry. He was so protective of her.

She threw the test at the bottom of the trash and went onto the hotel balcony. She had only been with the company a year when she met Drew—now they had been dating for seventeen months.

Cherish had always wanted kids-but she hadn't thought to discuss it with Drew yet. She sat in one of the chairs on the balcony and called her bother.

"Hey Cherish." He answered his cell on the third ring.

"Hey Adam—what are you doing?"

"I just left the gym."

"Could you do me a favor?"

"Anything for you." She could hear his car engine start in the background.

"Can you come see me—I really need to talk with you."

"I'll be right there Cherish." His tone changed—he sounded worried.

He hung up. She leaned back, debating how she was going to tell Adam and Drew.

Adam showed up twenty minutes later. His shoulder length blonde hair was tied back and he was wearing work out clothes.

"Hey" He sat on the bed, "What's wrong Cher?"

"Adam—I have to tell you something—and you aren't going to like it—but I—"

"What is it Cherish?"

She sighed and sat beside him. "I'm pregnant."

He looked shocked, but not angry. "You're what?"

"Going to have a baby."

"Did Drew leave you?"

"No he doesn't know yet."

"When will you tell him?"

"I don't know yet" She didn't try to hide she was nervous. Adam wrapped an arm around her shoulders.

"It'll be okay."

She smiled and nodded. "You know you aren't as bad ass as you act on TV?"

He laughed. "Don't tell anyone okay? I have to keep my appearances."

"Anything for you Rated R Superstar." She said with a small smile.

He smiled too.

"Please don't tell anyone until I can talk to Drew."

"I wouldn't dream of it Cher." He said squeezing shoulders gently.
