A week ago...

Jaquella sat with her older brothers, joining them in the living room and where the brothers remained on the couch. Before Jaquella knew it, Braxton, the third son of the family, instantly saw the look on her face, "Are you ok?" He asked.

Then, the others looked at her worriedly and Jaquella nervously chuckled at the sight of their reactions. She nodded her head as a lie, but her brothers' faces tell her otherwise.

"I'm not, actually. I, uh, have something to tell you guys," Jaquella admitted, exhaling loudly. "I'm pregnant." As soon as she told them, her face instantly went into her hands in embarrassment.

Then, Braxton gently pulled Jaquella's hand away from her face and glanced at her with so much support in his eyes. She looked up to him and he gave her the opportunity to hug him so she did and quietly sobbed on his shoulder.

"I'm sorry. It was a mistake." She whispered, sniffling and trying to reach to wipe the tears off her cheeks. Braxton pulled away and rubbed the side of his sister's arm as if to soothe her down.

Armando and Emanuel stayed quiet, maybe the fact that their young, baby sister was pregnant at the age of nineteen. Clearly, they didn't expect this. But they were confused as Braxton was. Though, he stayed calm for his vulnerable sister.

"How did it happen? Where's Trevor?" He asked, frowning and Jaquella quickly shifted uncomfortably, swallowing harshly.

"It's so hard to explain." She replied, calmly as she scratched the back of her neck. Before she could say something else, Mando cuts her off.

"Did you guys break up?" He asked, asking a serious question that Jaquella actually haven't thought about yet.

Though, she remained quiet. She honestly didn't know. As much as Jaquella and Trevor's relationship was fucked up right now, the both of them didn't say the two words 'break up'.

"I don't know. It's... complicated," Jaquella declared, shrugging her shoulders when she did so. "Trevor and I are not on good terms right now. He did something-" before she could finish the sentence, the look on Emanuel's face stopped her from continuing.

"What happened?" He asked.

"What did he do?" Braxton also asked.

Jaquella was thinking for some reason and obviously, she didn't want to ruin the chance to be able to talk to her brothers for once. "Trevor was accused of sexual assault and harassment while he was in college." She finally said it.

Shock looks appeared on both of her brothers, but Armando looked like he was pissed off. He looked like he could snap someone's hand off and that could be his young sister's boyfriend.

"Ok, that's it. I'm gonna beat his ass. What's his address?" He looked dead serious. Braxton sighed and rolled his eyes at him.

"This is not the time to kill him, Mando. It's eleven PM anyways," Eman flicked the back of Mando's head as he exhaled, tiredly.

"Don't flick me, asshole," Mando glared at him and before Jaquella could even notice what was going on, Armando and Emanuel started going at each other.

"I can do whatever I want to."

"Try me."

"Oh, I will, grandpa."

"Ok, that's it. I will f-"

"Guys!" Braxton interrupted them. "Can you not? We have someone here who's looking for help. Fight later." He sighed and shook his head at himself for their stupid manners.

"I'm sorry, Ella," Emanuel gave her a smile and a 'sorry' look whilst Mando went up to her and sat, giving her a sweet small side hug.

"I'm really sorry, Ella. We'll do anything to support you cause you're our baby sister. I love you." He smiled and gently rubbed her back, making Jaquella widen the small smile on her lips.

"Thank you, Mando. I love you too." She nodded. "And you guys." She chuckled, noticing the obvious looks on Braxton and Eman's faces.
