T'Challa and I went to lunch after the appointment then we went back to pop's house. When we got there, it was a car out front.

"I wonder who that is?" I said as we got out of the car.

"How are you feeling?" He asked wrapping his arm around me and I laughed

"I'm fine just like I was when asked an hour ago."

"If you thought I was protective before just wait." He said with a smile which I returned, knowing we were in this together.

We walked in and heard voices in the living room. I followed the voiced and I felt my heart stop at the sight. My 'parents' we're sitting on the couch across from pop's who was holding a baby and my 'sister' was sitting next to him.

"Calm down." T'Challa said in my ear as he placed his hands on my shoulders.

"Hello Ayesha." My father said as he stood up and walked over.

"You must be king T'Challa." He said holding his hand out and I frowned I knew what this was, he was willing to accept me now because I was dating a king. T'Challa just stared at him, and he put his hand down.

"What is going on here?" He asked because I still haven't found my voice.

"We're just visiting this week like we've been doing for the past few months." My sister said. I just walked into the kitchen.

"We can leave if you want." T'Challa said rubbing my back and I nodded because I could feel myself getting upset and I really didn't need this right now.

"Yeah, I don't want to be around them, I need to get my stuff." I said and he took my hand and we walked out we headed to the stairs.

"Ayesha wait let's talk." Pop said.

"Why are they here?"

"They reached out after I got out of the hospital your mother- "

"Don't call her that!"

"She reached out and came to see me, and we've been making this a weekly thing. I should have told you, but it slipped my mind."

"And you just trust them like that?"

"She's my only daughter- "

"And she wanted to put you in a home!"

"I almost lost my life in that accident, which left me thinking about a lot of things. Forgiveness is one of them."

"Are you kidding? The timing of this is immaculate don't you think? they find out, that they are not in your will then they want to make amends."

"Ayesha it's not like that." My egg donor said.

"Please you haven't spoken to me like a human being my entire life. Now that you see me and my man on the news and you know who he is all of a sudden it's 'hi Ayesha'?"

"Look is all of this really necessary?" My sister said.

"You shut up! I don't even know you! You weren't even born!"

"Ayesha calm down, that is your sister Kim just wanted to get to know you. you have a brother too his name is Kevin and he's away at school now."

"I don't want to get to know them! I don't want to have anything to do with you or them!" I snapped causing the room to shake, they looked around with a nervous look on their faces.

"Ayesha." T'Challa put an arm around me and pops walked over.

"You can't even look my in the eye right now and honestly say you're sorry. You treated me like I was nothing. I was your daughter! And you hated me and in turn I hated the world because of how you hated me. I almost lost the best thing that ever happened to me because of you. so no, I don't want anything to do with you." I didn't even care about my stuff I just walked out of house.

"Ayesha." Pops followed.

"Cannot believe you would let me walk into an ambush! You know I wasn't ready for this,"

"I didn't mean to."

"You did! How long have they been here? At any time, you could have called me or had Dorothy call me or text me. you keep trying to force this family and it's not going to happen!" I snapped as the ground rumble again.

"That's enough we're leaving." T'Challa stepped in directing me towards the car.

"Senator Rhodes." He nodded to him and we left as he drove T'Challa took my hand.

"I'm here for whatever you need." He said and I squeezed his hand trying to find my peace again.

We got a room at the hotel Okoye and Ayo were staying at. I mind was still racing so I couldn't sleep I kept tossing and turning until T'Challa wrapped his arm around me and held me giving me no room to move.

"Rest your mind, and sleep." He said then kissed my forehead and for once I listened to him and closed my eyes and fell asleep.

I was woken up when I felt a sharp pain in my side, it was gone as quickly as it came then came another one even stronger. I pushed T'Challa arm off and sat.

"Ohh."

"What's is it?" He asked sitting up I tried to speak but then came the pain again.

"Hmm."

"Ayesha?" He asked and I shook my head.

"Something is wrong." I cried out as he got out of the bed and walked over to my side. I closed my eyes as it felt like I wet the bed and I knew what was happening.

"Can you stand my love?" He asked pulling back the covers and we saw the blood I couldn't read the look on his face. He pushed so buttons on kimoyo beads then lifted me out of the bed. He helped me change into some clean underwear as there was a knock on our door. He opened in and Okoye walked in

"Ayo has the car out front." She said and T'Challa put on a jacket and picked me up and carried me to the car.

The hospital was a blur, but they told us what we already knew. The baby was gone. T'Challa held my hand the whole time but I couldn't bring myself to look at him. I felt like he would be disappointed in me, if I hadn't gotten worked up this wouldn't have happened.

"This is not your fault." He said pulling me from my thoughts Okoye went to get me some clothes, then we could leave. I wiped my face as he sat next to me and kissed my cheek and held me.

We got back to the hotel, I laid down and T'Challa went to shower. I laid there rubbing my stomach, the worst cramps had passed but there was still some here and there. I felt T'Challa place his hand on top of mine then he pressed a kiss on my neck. I looked at him for the first time since this all happened.

"I'm sorry." I said he rubbed my cheek.

"You have nothing to be sorry for."

"I didn't get so upset."

"Then this could have still happened. Sometimes bad things just happen."

"I just thought this was it. I thought I'd finally get a chance to be happy."

"This isn't your last chance, now just wasn't our time. I'm not leaving, are you?" He asked and I shook my head.

"I want to go home, to Wakanda." I said and he kissed my head again.

"The jet is ready whenever we are." He said holding my hand.
