Messages not showing

Some of my messages from just a few contacts are not showing up on my new MacBook Pro. They show up on my iphone, ipad, and old MacBook but will not send or show up on the new one I got yesterday.

If messages aren't appearing on your Mac, make sure that you have Messages in iCloud enabled on all your devices. On your iPhone, go to iCloud settings by tapping your name at the top of Settings, and make sure that Messages is checked. On your Mac, open the Messages app, then go to preferences by clicking Messages in the menu bar. Under iMessage, make sure that "Enable Messages in iCloud" is checked.
