CHAPTER 69:
Over the next few days, Nikki continued staying at the gym in order to relieve her stress. It was now June 6th when Brie entered inside to visit her sister. "Hey sweetie how are you?" she asked. "I brought you your favorite drink". "Is it a shot?" asked Nikki as she continued boxing. "No crazy" said Brie. "Remember the rule is that you can't drink while living with Bryan and me". "Oh joy" Nikki said sarcastically.
"Take a break" said Brie. "You've been in here for 6hrs already". Nikki stopped as she walked over to her sister to take the ice tea from her. "Thanks" she said. "You're welcome" said Brie. "Have you seen him?" Nikki scoffed as she continued drinking. "I take that as a yes" said Brie. "Brie everyday he comes to me" said Nikki. "He calls me, leaves me messages, texts me likes all of my photos the whole 9 yards".
"Maybe he's trying to say he's sorry" said Brie. "Brie I don't wanna talk to him anymore" said Nikki as she took a seat in a nearby chair. "I just don't". "I'm pretty sure that one day you will" said Brie. "Brie I can't talk to him" said Nikki. "Not after he did what he did to me". "So does that mean you're not gonna tell him about Joe?" asked Brie. "No" said Nikki. "There's no need". Brie looked around before resuming their conversation. "I…never seen you go so hard at a gym before" said Brie. "Are you sure everything's ok?"
"I'm fine Brie" said Nikki. "I'm just trying to lose some weight that's all". "Oh don't be ridiculous" said Brie. "You're fine". "Brie for your information I gained 6lbs and I just need to lose it real fast" said Nikki. "Damn Nicole this is what stress does to you" said Brie. "Yeah I know" said Nikki. Just then her phone went off. "Who is that?" asked Brie. "It's Stephanie" said Nikki. "She said that she needs to see me immediately?" "Do you want me to come with you?" asked Brie. "No" said Nikki. "Damn it would could it be now?"
Nikki packed her belongings and left to go to Stephanie's office. She took a breath as she entered in. "Stephanie….you uh wanted to see me?" she asked. "Yes Nicole I did" said Stephanie. "Please take a seat". Nikki quickly took a seat in Stephanie's chair. "First off I don't wanna say that you're in trouble or anything because you are still on suspension until the end of the month, well…you were" said Stephanie.
"I'm not on suspension anymore?" asked Nikki. "No Nicole, I'm afraid that our monthly testing has revealed some surprising news for you" said Stephanie. "You're pregnant and I advise you to go take yourself to a doctor as soon as possible so that you could get it checked out". "What!?" asked Nikki. "I'm….pregnant?" "Yes Nicole I'm afraid that you are" said Stephanie. "The test is dated on May 26th and another one was dated even more recently as yesterday".
The color from Nikki's face had drained. "But I feel fine" she said. "I'm on the pill there's no way". "That's how it was with my second child" said Stephanie. "What am I going to do?" asked Nikki. "I don't even know who the father is". "Well that's up to you" said Stephanie. "Stephanie…whatever we talk about stays in secret right?" asked Nikki. "Yes Nicole" said Stephanie. Nikki sighed as she had a flashback to the night of the banquet.
"Are you sure about this?" asked Roman. "Yes I am" said Nikki as she took another sip of her wine bottle. Roman took off his shirt as Nikki began to kiss him. She laid back down in the backseat of the car as Roman got on top of her.
"Nicole!" shouted Stephanie. "Yeah?" asked Nikki. "Are you ok?" asked Stephanie. "I'm not quite sure anymore" said Nikki as she stood up. "I can't believe all of this happened because I decided to take John's car and do something very stupid". "A little word of advice Nicole" said Stephanie. "Now that you and AJ are in presumably the same condition, maybe the 4 of you can finally maybe one day sit down and discuss things like mature adults".
"I don't think we can" said Nikki. "I really don't". With that Nikki numbly walked out of Stephanie's office. She had no idea what she was going to do.
