Taking a deep breath and wiping Briella's cheeks, "Why don't we handle one thing at a time? Let's take the test, and then we can discuss what happened between you and Grayson?" Samara suggested.
"That sounds like a great idea. Noelle, show Briella where the tests are, while we wait here," Camila suggested as she and Gracelyn helped Briella stand up.
"Come on, you can use my master bathroom," Noelle suggested, as she laced her arm around Briella's and they headed down the hall.
As they walked down the hallway, Briella couldn't come to grips with the way her life was spinning out of control. First, she was dating the man of her dreams, then she caught that same man kissing his ex-girlfriend, and then she had to deal with the possibility that she was pregnant.
Shaking her head, she realized that they had entered the master bedroom that Noelle had decorated in neutral colors with splashes of turquoise and red here and there.
"Here are the three tests I have, take them and then wait a few minutes. We will wait with you," Noelle suggested before she hugged Briella, who hugged her back before wiping her cheek.
"Thank you both for always having my back," Briella replied as she wiped her cheek again.
"We're more than friends, we are sisters," Samara stated as she hugged Briella.
Pulling apart, "Here goes nothing," Briella said before going into the bathroom and shutting the door behind her.

Sitting at her vanity table after being away from the club for a few weeks to give her some space away from Grayson, Briella tried to focus on getting ready for her performance and not on the fact that her life was falling apart right before her eyes. It was Christmas Eve, and the club was hosting a big party to celebrate the holidays and their tenth anniversary.
She had been ignoring Grayson’s calls and deleting his voicemails without even listening to the message. She knew there was a chance she would see him that night, but she would avoid him if she could. She couldn’t forget the pain she felt when she saw him kissing another woman. Granted she wasn’t insecure about being plus size, because she loved her curves, but when she compared herself to a tall and slim supermodel, Briella couldn’t help but feel some doubts.
Looking at herself in the mirror, as she added a little blush to her cheeks, Briella realized that she didn’t know what tomorrow had in store for her, but that night was meant to be a celebration and she was going to do just that.
Taking one last look at herself, Briella stood up and as soon as she did, the room started to spin. As the room started to go black, she saw Grayson’s face looking down at her as he kept calling her name.
Opening her eyes, Briella felt disoriented and didn’t understand why she was lying down. Looking around the room, she realized she was still in her dressing room, and Grayson was pacing back and forth while her family and his were talking.
“Grayson!” she whispered, causing everyone in the room to look at her.
“Thank God you are awake,” Grayson exclaimed as he sat down in the chair placed next to her and grabbed her hand.
Frowning, “What happened?” Briella asked as she tried to sit up, and Grayson was quick to assist her.
“When you didn’t come out on stage on time, we became worried, so Noelle and I came to check on you,” Samara replied as she wiped a tear from her cheek, while Gage put an arm around her and offered her his handkerchief.
“When we opened the door, you were lying on the floor, passed out. So, I rushed to find Grayson, who was in his office and we came back here. He placed you on the sofa and made sure you didn’t have any injuries, and then he called Heather to come check you out. Then I found your family in the audience and told them what was happening while Heather was checking you out,” Noelle added as a tear glided down her cheek. Gabriel hugged her to his side and wiped her other cheek with his hand.
Heather Jenkins was the physician that Grayson kept on standby at the club for emergencies.
“I’m sorry I put you all through that!” Briella replied as she took the bottle of water that her mother had offered her.
“Heather said you were dehydrated and need to rest,” Camila stated as she frowned at her daughter.
“Briella, you must take care of yourself and our grandbaby,” Hamilton said causing everyone in the room to pause.
Grayson looked at her frowning as her heart rate started to accelerate.
“Why don’t we let these two talk? Then we can celebrate the new addition to the family,” Camila suggested as she started to lead Hamilton and Brian out of the room.
“I agree, Camila! Let the love birds talk first and when Briella feels up to it, they will find us in the cabana,” Gracely added as she led Gage, Gabriel, Noelle, and Samara out of the room.
Taking a deep breath when the door closed behind their family, leaned her head back on the sofa as she tried to get her thoughts together.
“Is it true that you are pregnant?” Grayson asked as he sat on the sofa next to her and gently grabbed her hand.
Pulling her hand back and looking at him, “Yes, I am, but you don’t have to worry about us. You can move on with Tianna and have a nice life,” Briella replied before she went to stand up and the room started to spin again.
