Honestly?I'm trying to see when they'll notice.If they don't notice at the end of this month,I'm going to tell them because I know I already look like a fucking whale!
I vomitted and finally felt better.I mean,the vomit is just...yuck!But it's better than swallowing it!
"Raven?"I let Lux in.I'm going to tip her.Give her a hint.Anyways..."What was it?What did she want?"I gestured her to sit down but then I stopped her.
"On second thought,why won't you order some chicken wings for us?Crispy?Then we'll talk over lunch."She scoffed."You and lunch?You've been eating out of your way these days."
I nodded."I know.Are you ordering or not?""Hello?!I'm ordering!"We ordered the chicken wings and she still didn't notice!Chicken wings is what I craved while I was pregnant the first time around.
We lived off of this stuff while Gideon's dad made them so fucking delicious!
"So,what did she want?""A play date with the twins and Elijah.I think she didn't realise it was you,or she'd talk to you about this.She knows I'm not a social butterfly like you."
"Raven,you are a social butterfly,you're just the type to open up more around those you love.I've seen you with me,with kids,with Xan,with your brothers and your fiancée."
"Ok,fine.Maybe,just maybe,you have a point.""I know I do."We ate our wings and then Sorin called.I couldn't answer."Lux,my hands are still dirty and greasy,could you get it?"
Lux answered the phone and got it on speaker."I'm coming to pick you up.""Wait!Why?!"He sighed."Because I missed you and I'm bored out of my fucking mind because of work?"
"Sorin,no.Go back to work.What are you running from?""Meeting with Lorenzo?He's coming in a few hours and I know he'll let me postpone the meeting until their ball if I tell him I wanted to spend time with you."
I turned to Lux.She gave me a nod and left."What ball?!""Annual ball that your brothers have every year at the begining of July."
"Sorin!I have no dress!And don't tell me you got me one because I won't fit in it!"He groaned."I noticed you gained a little but I still love you!Who cares?!"
Gained a little?!
Bitch!I'm carrying two creatures inside me!
"No!I'm going dress shopping with Lux and you are going to that meeting!End of discussion!Or else,you will have nothing to warm that dick of yours for a few months."
I hung up and I knew he wouldn't go against me now.I called in Lux."We're going dress shopping."She giggled and when I stood up,I felt dizzy.
Lux ended up driving the car to the mall.We spent a few hours but sat down for dinner at the end."I'm going to call Sorin about this meeting with my brother."
"Sure,I'll call the nanny and check the kids.""Thanks."We both took out our phones and Sorin answered right away.
"Vitale,just five minutes.It's your sister.My fiancée?""Why didn't you tell me then?Say hi to Maria."Sorin sighed and I heard him get out of the meeting room.
"Hey,you alright?""We're alright.Lux and I got our dresses by the way."He sighed."You know I love you regardless,right?"I internally groaned.
Bitch!I'm pregnant as fuck!I don't care if I get fat,I care if you call me fat!
"Are you calling me a whale,Sorin?""WHAT?!NO!"I giggled."Just playin with ya!I'm not mad.I just wanted to check in.We'll be back at home in an hour."
"Alright.I'll be here for a few more hours.I'll text you or call you but my battery is dying.Just in case I can't contact you or you won't be able to contact me."
"I'll call your assistant or Xander.I love you.""I love you.If I don't make it to the twins' bedtime,kiss them good night for me."I smiled."Sure."
We hung up and then I turned to Lux."Guess what?""What?"She giggled."Elijah and Asher faught over Ava today."I giggled."Why?!"
"Ava sat next to Elijah today,appearently,at lunch.Ash got mad and yelled at Elijah.Then Elijah got mad and yelled at Asher.Ava ended up ditching them both."
I sighed deeply."They're going to look out for each other throughout their entire lives.I just...I couldn't be happier.For us,for the kids...I just...I can't explain it."
Then I noticed how Lux couldn't eat her meal."Oh,you're pregnant as fuck!How many weeks?!"Her eyes widened."What?!How the-How did you-"She shut up.
"Two months."I giggled."Now,I see why you didn't say no to chicken wings.I should've told you earlier but I noticed how much hot chocolate you drank.Or chocolate milk."
I got her hands on the table."Have you told him?"She shook her head."I have an appointment tomorrow.First thing in the morning.Actually...I was wondering if you co-"
"I'll look after Elijah.You two go to your appointment."She smiled."Thank you."We hugged and then came home.We fed the kids and tucked them in.
We tried waiting for them as long as we could.But Lux went to bed around 11.I fell asleep around midnight but I woke up when I heard the big gate open and shut harshly.
"You're back."He stopped and calmed down immediately."I missed you so much."He picked me up bridal style and then took us to our bedroom.
"Let's take a shower togather."I yawned."I took one while I was waiting for you,a few hours ago."He sighed."And you look exhausted."He put me on the bed and changed me into my pjs.
We laid on the bed and then I rolled over him to lay on his chest."You know...I saw this thing about gaining healthy relationship weight."
I scoffed and turned my back to him."Raven!Come on!It's either a pound or two that you have gained!It's not even something to be worried about!"
I turned back to him."I don't mind that you noticed that I gained weight.I mind that you constantly talk about it!It's fucking annoying!"He pulled me to himself.
"May I at least see the dress?""Smooth,real smooth.And you may not see the dress."We slept togather and next morning,I woke up with my alarm going off.
I stood up but Sorin was gone.It wasn't warm,his side of the bed.So I just assumed he went to work.Which had happened before,so I didn't mind.
Until I saw that he left me no note.He always leaves me notes when he leaves too early!I changed.I wore a black chilly dress and a belt right above my tiny bump.
As I said,I'm not hiding it.
I wore my white sneakers and headed to the kids' rooms.None of them were there.Then I heard Ava's giggling from the kitchen.I went over and found Sorin,making eggs.
"They don't like plain eggs and I hate eggs,so unless you're eating it,don't do that."He put the pan down."Good morning,you woke up early."
"Not really.I'm taking care of all three of them for the day.Besides,I have to drop them off to daycare in less than an hour.Then,I'm going to head to the gallery and pick them all up at my lunch break."
"Xander isn't joining me today either.What is going on?"Then Lux texted me.
"We're here!Wish me luck!"
"Keep your calm!Wait for his reaction before you do anything else."
"I don't know how calm I could be!I'm so flipping excited!"
I shut my phone and turned to Lux."Xan and Lux has something to handle togather.She was the one who texted me."He nodded."Breakfast?"
I turned to Elijah."Uncle Sorin is not very talented with the eggs.Let's make sandwiches for you three and I'll drop you off."I handled the sandwiches.
I made one for Sorin and I too."I'll see you later,love."He smiled."I love it when you call me love,baby."I giggled and left the house.
I dropped them all off at the daycare and headed to the gallery.Turns out Lorenzo called my assistant last night.I walked into my office and he was already there.
I sat down and asked for a cup of hibiscus tea."Good morning,Enzo.""How are you?"I shrugged."I'm on kid duty today.All three of them are on me today."
"What happened to Lux?I couldn't see her here either."I sighed.
"Lux had a thing with Xan today.It's nto my place."He nodded."Of course.Well,I came here for this.I figured you wouldn't want to be a plus one."
He gave me an invitation."Come to the ball?"I smiled."I already got my dress."
