Is Taraji P. Henson Pregnant?

Empire’s More Than Kin episode showed a softer side of Cookie Lyon.  When the leader of Empire and Lyon Dynasty arrives at Anika’s house, the EMTs are rushing Anika out on a stretcher to transport her to the hospital.  Cookie disobeys orders to follow the ambulance to the hospital and is right by Anika’s side during the trip.

The individual that I was watching the episode with was very happy to find out that Anika and Hakeem’s baby was safe.  After Rhonda and Andre lost their baby, Empire fans have been desperate for a baby Lyon.  The person I watched Empire with couldn’t get her mind off of pregnancy and even tried to convince me that Taraji P. Henson is currently pregnant:
