Beyoncé's POV
I held Megan's hand as we waited for Dr. Greene to tell us the results. Megan has been so good with taking her shots and she's been doing the best as she could. This first round of IVF has been hard for the both of us but mainly Megan. 
She doesn't shut me out and we're a team but I do notice her crying just as much as she did when we found out about her ovarian reserve. I do the best that I can do in being there for her. Megan's mind has been filled with so much negativity and I'm at least grateful she's open to me about it. 
"The test just came in and unfortunately, you aren't pregnant, Megan." Dr. Greene said and I saw Megan physically sink into her chair. 
"That was to be expected though. How have you been feeling? You know stress won't be good for your body." Dr. Greene said and eyed Megan. 
"I'm... I'm just worried and upset. I don't know what else to do. I feel helpless. This is something I've been wanting to give Beyoncé and my kids. I just feel like a failure" Megan says as she starts to cry. 
"Megan, you are far from a failure. I don't want you going into this with that mindset. The goal of this is to expand your family, correct?" Dr. Greene asked and Megan nodded her head. 
"There's more than one way to do that. I suggest we proceed with the next round when you're in a much better headspace. Do not put more pressure on yourself. Go traveling, have fun. Just do whatever you've been wanting to do." Dr. Greene said. 
Megan nods her head and looks at me, smiling. "Let's get married, baby." 
"Are you sure, babe?" I ask her as she strokes her thumb over my hand. We haven't really been planning the wedding as much as we should have. I just know Megan's brain has been preoccupied with pregnancy stuff and I didn't want to add more onto her plate. 
"I'm sure. Doc said to do whatever I've been wanting to do." Megan says and I chuckle. 
"Just don't forget what I said about us still needing to stay on track and not delay too much. When I said a break for the next round, I was thinking about a month or two, not an entire year now." Dr. Greene said eyeing us both. 
"Alright then let's go plan our wedding that's gonna happen in a month" I say and Megan brings my hand to her lips, giving it a quick kiss.

Megan's POV
Beyoncé drove us back home from the hospital as I looked down at my flat belly. I rubbed it gently and whispered, "Don't worry, my love. We're just taking a little break but you'll be in mama's belly soon enough. You got three siblings who can't wait to meet you and two moms who think the world of you already. I love you, my little bean." 
Beyoncé smiles at me and I smile back at her. I can't be too down in the dumps. God blessed me with so much already.
"Besides, now ya mommy and I can have a wedding and you don't gotta be a bastard now. Yknow you being born outta wedlock or some shit" I joke and Beyoncé playfully hits my arm. 
"You best not call my baby a damn bastard what's wrong with you?" Beyoncé says cracking up. 
"We bout to get married in like a month holy shit I'm about to get marrieeeeed" Beyoncé says beaming at me. 
"I love you, baby. Thank you for being there for me. This has been one of the hardest 2 months of my life and I'm barely hanging on there. You and the kids are my reason. I love you and thank you, Beyoncé. Thank you for giving my life a bigger purpose." I say as Beyoncé parks the car.
