[Tiana's POV]
So, you guys wondering what happened to me and Roger after he Took my number.. Well he kept texting me, asking for us to meet up for coffee or something, but nigga can't take no for an answer.. So I finally said yes.. So we met up and we chatted.. Roger is very conceited, but very conversational.. He talks a lot but I enjoyed he's company.. We ended up going to the movies after coffee .. We watched the most boring french movie ever, so boring, we laughed during serious times.. I don't know if it was a date or what, but I wanted to get to see him more.. After that night, we started to text and call each other a lot more.. He finally asked me out, that day when Minnie had her Appointment.. I haven't told Minnie, I want to but I don't want to jinx things.. I haven't been in a serious relationship in a long time, and I'm not even sure Roger even wants a serious relationship.. Anyway, that day, I took a cab home, since Roger wanted to come fetch me.. We went to this ice-skating place.. I must say, it was so much fun.. 2hours after that, it was around 14:30 and we went for lunch.. We talked a lot .. Joking, making fun of each other.. Then he caught me of guard by this, he told me he liked me, and wanted to go on more dates with me and wants to be in a relationship with me.. It seemed like it was too soon, but I felt the same way.. A 3days later, he asked me to be he's girlfriend.. And now, here we are, in some fancy restaurant, having the time of our lives.. Like I said we haven't told anyone, but very soon we will.. We were exiting the restaurant at 19:02 and we bumped into the last person I expected to see..
??: Tiana ?!

[Minnie's POV]
So, tonight, my parents and I are meeting Diggy and his parents.. After I told my Mom that I was pregnant, they flew into New Jersey a week later.. I explained everything to them, my mom looked like she wanted to cry, and my dad was furious.. After they calmed down, they wanted to meet Diggy and he's parents.. So tonight, we all meeting up.. I'm really scared, I don't know what to expect from tonight.. My dad can be a little hotheaded.. But he promised to be nice.. We were meeting up at 19:00 at this fancy restaurant and it was already 16:00.. I took a long shower and at 16:53, I went to my room and started to get ready.. My parents were picking me up at 18:00, so I didn't have much time.. I quickly decided on wearing brown leather Dr Martens, peach high-low lace dress with my denim jacket with a few pretty hand accessories.. I wore my clothes and started to straighten my hair which took about 20min.. I always keep my make-up natural and tied my hair into a ponytail..I was alone in the house coz Tiana left an hour ago looking really pretty.. She was wearing a grey long sleeve peplum dress, red platform heels with a silver bangle and a silver necklace with the letter T on it.. She has been doing that a lot these days, like she's going on dates or something.. I mean, I know she'd tell me if she was dating someone, I'm her bestfriend.. So I don't think she's dating someone.. But I don't know what she's always dressed up for.. I'll just ask her later.. After that day of the doctors appointment, when I was insulted by blue bird- AKA Skyler Blue- Diggy tried to call me but was too upset to answer.. I called him the next day and told him it was okay, but we haven't really spoken much since that day.. Only when I told him my parents wanted to meet up.. Anyway, my parents were 10min late, so we left at my apartment at 18:15.. Luckily we weren't that late, we arrived at the restaurant at 19:02 and we bumped into a couple.. It was Tiana and some familiar dude.. And they had their hands intertwined.. Wait, this dude was Roger?!
Me: Tiana?!
Ti: Omg Minnie, Mr and Mrs Ongoke.. What are you guys doing here?
Me: I told you we were meeting Diggy and his parents.. What are YOU doing here??
Ti: Uhm, look Minnie-
Me: You know what, forget it.. Mommy let's go..
And with that, my parents and I entered the restaurant with Tiana and Roger just standing there.. I was really upset.. But I was more nervous.. I decided to forget about what just happened and get this dinner date over and done with.. We got our reservations and were led to a table where Diggy and he's parents were sitting at.. Once Diggy saw me coming, he stood up and so did he's parents.. After we said our hello's, my mom and Diggy's mom sat next to each other across from me and Diggy, since we sat next to each other.. Diggy's Dad and mine sat across from each other, on the other side of the table.. It was really awkward, 'coz everybody was looking at their menu's.. The waitress came to get our drink orders..
My Mom: Glass of red wine please..
Miss Justine: I'll have the same, but white instead..
Diggy: Lemonade please..
Me: I'll have the same..
Waitress: Ok, so its one red wine and one white, 2 lemonades.. And for the two gentlemen?
My Dad: Red wine..
Diggy's Dad: Same..
Waitress: Ok, coming up..
The waitress left and Diggy noticed I was a little upset..
Dig: You ok?
Me: Yeah, I'm cool..
MD: So, Daniel, you are a rapper, right?
Dig: Yes sir.. Following my Fathers footsteps..
MD: I see.. My daughter was planning on being a lawyer..
Me: Daddy, he knows..
MJ: So, you guys are both lawyers..
MM: Yes we are.. And Uyanna-
Me: Mom..
MM: I'm sorry, Minnie was planning on being one too.. Following our footsteps too..
DD: Mmh.. So, how are you two gonna solve this situation?
Dig: What situation?
MM: Minnie being pregnant.. Last time I checked, you, Daniel, are in a relationship already..
Dig: Was..
Me: What do you mean?
Dig: Skyler broke up with me..
MD: Well. What do you expect, you knocked my daughter up..
Me: Daddy !
MD: What? Its the truth..
Me: Its not only he's fault.. We were both under the influence of alcohol..
MM: Since when do you even drink?
Me: Mom, I was just trying to have fun..
MD: And look where it got you..
MJ: So, what's next?
Dig: We haven't really discussed anything..
MJ: Minnie is 5 and a half pregnant, and you haven't discussed anything?
Me: We haven't had the chance to..
DD: Well you both better start doing that..
The waitress came and gave us our drinks, took our orders.. The rest of the night was ok.. My dad was good in the end and our parents got along well.. We left the restaurant at 20:36 and said our goodbyes.. I arrived at my apartment at around 21h00 and I was tired.. I went straight to my room and changed into my pj's .. Tiana was already home when I arrived and I tried to avoid her, but she knocked on my door and came in.. I didn't even tell her to enter.. I was reading a book and she sat on the edge of the bed..
Ti: Minnie, I'm sorry..
Me: For what?
Ti: You know what..
Me: Whatever.. I thought we were bff's..
Ti: We are.. Its just.. I didn't want to jinx things..
Me: Jinx things?? What, am I bad luck or something?
Ti: No, you not.. You know I haven't been in a relationship in a long time..
Me: So? I don't get what's so hard to say you dating someone..
Ti: I'm sorry Minnie.. We wanted to keep it to ourselves for a while..
Me: ....
Ti: Do you forgive me??
Me: I do.. But I'm really upset that you didn't tell me..
Ti: I'm really sorry.. I love you MJ.
Me: Yeah Yeah.. So, you guys serious ??
Ti: Yeah I guess, I mean, I like him.. A lot.. And he makes me feel really special..
Me: Ncaaaw, omg I'm so happy for you guys..
Ti: Really?
Me: Yeah.. I am.. Now tell me everything..
Tiana looked at me and I shifted a little to make space for her on my bed.. She got under my blankets and told me everything.. After that I told her about the dinner date I had.. Since it was late, and Tiana didn't want to go to her room, she ended up sleeping in mine..
