Jade's POV

"I called the number your mom gave us for the lawyer," I inform Beck as he turns into the parking lot. We have another doctor's appointment today.
"Oh," he says, pulling into a spot close to the doors. "What'd she say?"

"She said she'd definitely be able to help us, but not for a while." I roll my eyes slightly. I don't want to wait. I want to fix this situation and I want to fix it now.
Beck smiles at me anyway. He knows how impatient I am. "The court date hasn't even been set yet, Jade. We have time."

I sign in at the front desk. "But what if it gets scheduled before we meet her."
"Don't be ridiculous. We haven't even served your parents yet. Besides, it'll be worth the wait. Cara Wilson is the best lawyer in the state."

I groan as we take our usual seats. Not too close to the door, but not too far either. "I know. I just want this all to be over with." He presses a kiss to my forehead and I sigh, relaxing slightly. Then I see an elderly woman staring at us like we're doing something heinous. She's sitting with a young couple. She must be a grandma or something. "Hey, you got a problem, lady?" I ask, leaning forward and glaring at her. She quickly turns her head. Beck puts his hand on my shoulder to try to get me to calm down, but I can see the tiniest of smiles playing at his lips.

He kisses my temple as I lean back, resting on him once again. "You know," I say after a few minutes. "I should call the realtor. We haven't been looking for houses and with the custody case coming up, we should probably have a suitable place to live. And we should probably start getting ready for the monkey." So, I'm not sure when I decided to drop the 'sea' part of the 'sea monkey' that I've been calling Parker since I've been pregnant, but it's probably been since we could actually see a baby on the ultrasound screen.

He chuckles. "You're right. We should, but I'll call her."

I start to straighten myself up, getting ready to protest. "I can-"
"I know that you can, Jade, but you've got a lot on your plate. Let me do something."

"I can handle it, Beck."
"You've already got too much stress. The custody issue, Jasper, school, the lawyer, your parents, and the baby. It can't be good. Let me help," he pleads, his eyes wide and earnest. "Please. I want to help." I open my mouth to protest, but he cuts me off. "It's not even a big deal. I just have to call her. That's it. It's not like I'm going to sneak off and make any decisions without you." He smirks at me.

I push his shoulder playfully. "Okay. If you really want to," I say mockingly.
"Oh, I do," he replies in the same tone.

"Jade?" Margaret calls, interrupting us. Beck helps me stand and we follow her into the back. "Hello, you two. How are you doing?"
"We're doing all right. A little tired. How are you?" I reply. Beck smiles at me, impressed. I've been getting better at being polite. Besides, Margaret has been nothing but helpful to me and Beck, and especially Cat. So, I don't see the harm in being nice for once.

"Good, good. Can I just see your arm to take your blood pressure?" I give her my arm and soon she's done all she needs to and is out the door, leaving us to wait for Dr. Truman. I lay back on the exam table and stretch.

"I can't wait just to pop this sucker out," I say, breaking the silence. Beck snorts. "I'm serious. I feel like I'm carrying a freaking beach ball in my shirt. It's hurting my back."
"You won't be saying that as he's growing up and going out saying, 'no, Mom, I don't want you to come with me I'm hanging out with my friends.'"

I scoff. "Please. I'll always be cool. He'll always want me around."
Beck's voice gets mock serious. "Are you saying our son is going to be a momma's boy?"

"Oh, I know it. Just like his dad." I smirk, turning my head to look at him, who's sitting in the chair, next to my head.
"While the end of that sentence may be true, I cannot agree. He'll be a...daddy's boy? Is that even a term?" He shakes his head. "Whatever, you know what I mean."

I laugh just as Dr. Truman comes in. He's overly cheerful, as usual. "Hello, Jade. Hello, Beck. How are you today?"
Beck smiles. "Good."

"Good to hear!" The older man bellows, clicking onto the computer. "Ah, Jade! It seems you are overdue for your glucose test," he tells us with a frown. This concerns me. Isn't this what Tori just did?
"The diabetes test?" I ask.

He nods. "Yes. I'm not sure how that slipped through, but it can most certainly be done at your next appointment. Speaking of which, you are at the end of your 27th week, correct?" Beck and I both nod. "Well, since you are beginning your third trimester, I would like to see you in here more often. Instead of every four weeks, I would like to see you every two weeks."

"What?! Every two weeks? That's nuts!"
"Jade," Beck whispers, "calm down."

"No, I will not calm down! Cat didn't have to up her appointments and shes already at 32 weeks with twins!"
"Cat didn't have to increase her appointments because she was already coming in every two weeks," Dr. Truman explains. "I assure you, Jade, this is only to make sure things stay as good as they are going right now. I've seen things go horribly wrong in the third trimester that could have been prevented if the mother just came in for her appointments like she was supposed to."

I take a deep breath and glance at Beck. Of course he's calm. He's always so damn calm. "Yeah. Whatever. Can we do the ultrasound so I can get out of here?"

Tori's POV

I am beyond nervous. And hungry. But mostly nervous.

My foot is tapping repeatedly on the floor and I see Andre repeatedly glance up at it, but I know he's not going to say anything. He knows just how nervous I am. I take the gauze pad away from where they pricked me when I first got here to get my 'fasting glucose' and throw it away. In another hour, they'll be back to do the same thing on the other arm. And I'll be forced to drink another one of the glucose solutions, and then again and again. I shudder at the thought.

"Hey," Andre says softly, taking my hand. "It'll be all right. No matter what happens, it'll be okay."
I know that that can't possibly be true, but there's no use in arguing with him or Trina about it. They both keep insisting that this isn't my fault, but it is. It has to be. Somehow it is, I just know it. It's probably because of the way I ate. I guess my diet wasn't as good as I thought it was. "Tori, girl, I can see your mind running a mile a minute." He gently guides my chin so I face him. "I am going to tell you this again: this is not your fault. You could not have prevented it. You can even ask Dr. Truman if it'll make you feel better, but I promise you, you didn't do anything wrong."

I sigh, pressing my face into the palm of his hand. "I'm sorry for making you worry about me."
He chuckles softly. "Don't be sorry. It's my job. You've done enough worrying. I think it's time to let me handle some of it." I lean forward and press a chaste kiss to Andre's lips. I don't know what I've done to deserve him, but I'm thankful every day that he's here for me. I have no idea what I'd do without him.

"Thank you," I mutter, pulling away. His smile lights up his whole face.
"Why don't you try to read that book that Trina gave you? Maybe it'll help keep your mind off of things," he suggests. Nice try. Nothing could keep my mind off of how much of a failure I've been already.

"I don't think anything can take my mind off of how hungry I am," I joke. He chuckles and reaches into the bag we brought.
"Not even The City of Bones?" He holds up the book. "The guy on the front is glowing. It looks interesting to me."

I laugh. "That's the book that Jade got her reading. Can you imagine Jade reading a book where a guy glows?"
He laughs too, handing me the book. "I can't imagine Jade with anything that glows. The brightest thing about that girl are the streaks in her hair."

I snort, but begin reading the book. It's actually pretty good. Thank god Trina crammed it in my bag at last minute. I feel bad because I know she wants to be here, but the only time that was available was during school, and today Trina had a really important presentation for her ballet class and I would absolutely not let her miss it for this. The presentation was worth like 45 percent of her grade and I was not letting her fail to come sit with me and Andre in a room for hours on end doing nothing but waiting.

Without fail, every hour, they come, take my blood and give me another solution to drink for three hours. I can't eat at all until it's completely finished. By the time they take the last blood sample, I'm ready to gnaw my own arm off. As I frantically search through the bag for the snacks we brought for this very reason, Andre chuckles as he continues to write a song. Finally, I find the granola bar I'm looking for and eat it. I take out pack of Oreos and begin to eat them too, as we wait for the results to finally be done with.

I'm anxious to know what they are, but at the same time, I don't want to know at all.

It seems like an agonizingly long time until Dr. Truman comes in. He sits right at the computer and goes straight to business. "Tori, I've been over your results already." He pulls them up anyway. "More than one of your glucose readings came back high, so I'm afraid we are going to say that you have gestational diabetes."

As soon as the words come out of his mouth, it feels like my stomach drops and I can't focus. I've messed up. I've messed up so bad. I'm so sorry, Noah. I wish I could've done better for you, baby boy.

I feel pressure on my hand, and look to see that Andre's taken a hold of it again. I try to focus on Dr. Truman and what he's saying. Maybe I can make this right. "We need to make a strict diet. I know you've been doing well, one of the best I've seen, but we need to map it out carefully. We have to balance everything to keep your glucose levels stable. Also, keep going for walks. Try for as long as 30 minutes a day, every day. We'll check your blood sugar every appointment and if this doesn't work, we'll have to use medication, okay?"

I nod, completely numb. Andre clears his throat. "Dr. Truman, will you please tell her that this is not her fault?"
The doctor furrows his eyebrows. "Tori's fault? My, no. She's been a great patient ever since her first check up. I can't imagine anything that she's done could've caused this. Sometimes it might be the mother's diet, but you've been great, Tori. These things just sometimes happen." I nod again, feeling a little more reassured this time. "Okay about that meal plan..."

Cat's POV

"Robbie," I hiss, pulling him aside as we walk through another apartment. "I don't like this one. It's too small. And it smells like old cheese." He wrinkles his nose in disgust and nods.
"I know," he replies.

"Well then tell him so we can get out of here!" His eyes widen and his cheeks flush.
"But he's still showing it to us."

"It's a waste of time," I insist, crossing my arms over my chest. "I'm not gonna live here and neither are Emma or Bentley."
He nods and begins to walk off in the direction of the realtor. I know Robbie doesn't like to argue with people or make them feel awkward, but if we don't leave soon, I'm really going to throw up. It smells like when my brother thought he could sell cheese for really expensive by leaving it sit in his room for a month. "Uh, excuse me, Henry, but, we, uh, think this one's too small."

The blonde man's face lights up in realization. "Yes! Yes, okay, there's one left that I wanted to show you today. It's just a little bit away, a five minute drive." He leads us out of the tiny apartment and back out to the company van that we got into when we met up with him at his office. "This apartment is over on Church street. The rent is practically a freaking steal. It's 750 a month, but it's in the same neighborhood, with a great school district, and its a three bedroom. Which is perfect for you guys."

We get to the building and up to the room (they have an elevator, yay!). Henry lets us in and I know that this is where I want to move. It doesn't feel like a box when we walk in. The walls are a nice tan color, and the floors are hardwood. Henry says they go throughout the apartment, and they do (just not in the bathroom because that would be silly. The floor would get ruined by the water!). There are granite counter tops and the master bedroom is big enough for all of my stuff and Robbie's stuff. The two bedrooms that aren't the master bedroom are plain white, but Henry says that we can paint them. So I can decorate the nurseries! The master bedroom is blue and gray, and I like it, even though it's not pink.

I ask and Robbie says that, no I cannot paint our room pink because he is "a man and men do not live in pink rooms!"

So then I ask, "but don't you wear male makeup?" And he blushes and stutters. Henry looks awkward and tries to walk away. Robbie keeps making funny noises until he says "We can't paint the room pink!" and then he goes after Henry to tell him that we definitely want this place.

Hey guys! I'm back. I know, it's been a while, and there's really no excuse except real life. I'm sorry. /: I hope this made up for it, even though it's incredibly short.
