This follows straight from the last chapter.
"I bet I have a test or two leftover..." Nicole asked.
"Huh..." Megan sighed, she felt sick just thinking about it. She loved Sonny but they were in such a bad place to have this sprung up on her.
"Here." Nicole came back from the bathroom and handed her the test.
"Well here goes nothing." Megan said and closed the bathroom door behind her. Nicole quietly tried to move Teagan from the swing to her crib. She woke up so she sat stood over the crib, swaying back and fourth for a couple minutes.
"Nicole..." a broke voice called out. Nicole closed her eyes hard, laid her baby down and turned around. Megan was in the door way holding up a very positive pregnancy test.
"Are you serious...!" Nicole walked out of the room and shut the door quietly. Megan was balling her eyes out, shaking. Nicole wrapped her arms around her and they hugged for a good 2 minutes, she cried into her shoulder, terrified.
"Your going to be okay." Nicole told her.
"What's he gonna say!?" Megan panicked.
"Woah. Don't go there right now. First you gotta get on good terms with eachother! Does he know you hooked up with Trace?" Nicole asked and they sat on the couch.
"Yeah...he came over after he left and saw the unmade bed, my hair was a rats nest...you know..." Megan told her.
"Well...what'd he say?" Nicole asked.
"He wasn't happy...I told him we broke up and it didn't matter if he didn't like it because when we were together that girl was looking to hook up with him and it wasn't a big deal to him so why should this be." Megan said. Nicole didn't have anything to argue that. It was true.
"I guess I'd just be upfront about everything." Nicole suggested.
"I know. That's the only way this is gonna work." Megan said.
"Do you want to be with him?" Nicole asked, Megan stared at her blankly.
"Of course I love him! I don't know why I did what I did. I know it was irresponsible and immature." Megan said getting tears in her eyes again. Nicole was relieved, she still wanted to be with Sonny.
"Everyone makes mistakes. At least you were broken up. However when you talk to him I'd tell him you want to work through all this. Just be honest." Nicole suggested.
"I will. When do I tell him about the baby...?" Megan wondered.
"Wait. Wait until you go to a doctor, check things out and tell him when he's back. Don't do it over the phone." Nicole told her.
"Yeah. Ugh. This is going to be the longest 3 months..." Megan shook her head. They both say in silence, soaking it all in.

It was the next day, Megan had went home around 8 last night and Nicole was waiting to talk to Clay sometime and see if he had anything to say about Sonny.
She spent the day catching up on laundry, cleaning up the apartment and even put dinner in the crockpot for herself.
Around 3pm (Nicole's time) she was nursing when her phone was going off. It was Clay requesting a FaceTime. Nicole was anxious but answered the call.
"Hey beautiful." Clay said when he saw her.
"Oh haha not really." Nicole blushed feeling gross and excited to shower.
"How's Teagan? Is she letting you sleep?" Clay laughed.
"Eh yeah...I've been trying to get her in her crib for naps." Nicole said.
"Oh yeah? How's that going?" He wondered.
"Good! She looks so small in it though. It's funny." Nicole smiled and said.
"Haha, I bet she does. Hey...before I get interrupted...I don't know if you talked to Megan at all but Sonny talked to me some. I guess he figured out she hooked up with a co worker?-" Clay was saying. Nicole cut him off.
"Yeah Trace. She slept with Trace." Nicole told him quietly someone would hear on the other line.
"Trace!? The guy I..." Clay was shocked.
"Yes, the guy you almost beat up." Nicole laughed reliving the memory.
"What the fuckk..." Clay was still surprised.
"Um excuse your language there daddy...little ears are listening...!" Nicole said raising her eyebrows.
"Sorry! I'm sorry. Trace though...man. Guys a dickhead." Clay said shaking her head.
"Clay!" Nicole was mad at his language. Clay looked at her, it took him a second to realize he did it again.
"I'm sorry babe..!" He tucked his lips in. Nicole didn't say anything and put Teagan up on her shoulder to burp.
"So what else did he say?" She asked.
"Right..uhh, I'm tryna think...oh well he said he should've told her about some texts I guess some girl was sending him and he takes the blame for everything that happened." Clay told her.
"Yeah well I get both sides I guess." Nicole said and then Clay asked what Megan had to say about it.
"Oh well I mean nothing much different. She said she also still loves him and wants to be with him I guess." Nicole told him.
"Good. Let me see Teagan, she looks bigger already." Clay said smiling. Nicole turned her around so he could see her face.
"Wait...you sure your alone...?" Nicole whispered, making Clay get closer to the camera.
"Yeah..why?" Clay asked whispering back.
"Last night Megan was over, she took a...-"
"Clay? C'mon man beers getting warm." Sonny came in and said, cutting Nicole off just before she spilled the beans.
"Oh sorry. Didn't know you were on the phone. What were you saying about Megan?" Sonny asked concerned.
"Yeah she um. She took a...nap, really long nap...she's exhausted, taking it hard." Nicole came up with quickly.
"Oh yeah...me too. I'm gonna call her in a little, hopefully that will help." Sonny said. Nicole thought that'd be a good idea and then they had to hang up cause the other guys were bombarding them.
Nicole stared at Teagan in her arms, the house quiet. She felt uneasy she couldn't tell Clay what was going on with Megan and the baby, but maybe it was a sign she wasn't supposed to tell him. Either way she struggles keeping anything this big away from him.

So Megan IS pregnant with Sonny! He's gonna have heart failure when he hears that news in a couple months. Should Nicole tell Clay or wait until Megan announces it? And do you think they will be able to work through all this and get back together?
