Zabdiel watched tentativly as the twins rustled on the carpet, throwing in small comments until Mia sat dead on Theo's head causing him to start crying. Erick typed away on his phone looking up when he heard foot steps and saw Ray walking down in a shirt with no pants.

"Mami why arn't you dressed, we're already late" Erick asked
"Because i don't wanna go anywhere" Ray said simply
"Why? what's wrong" Erick asked looking all over her body to see if she was bleeding or bruised
"Nothing" Ray shrugged going to the pantry
"Then upstairs you go and you're getting dressed for the amazing day i have planned for-
"I DON'T WANNA GO OKAY!" Ray yelled ripping his arms off of her "I don't wanna go anywhere, i don't want anyone to see me!"
"Mami que pasó?" Erick asked taken back by her tone
"Nothing fits! nothing fucking fits... i look fat in everything that does. I can't even see my fucking toes" Ray sniffed feeling the tears trick at her eyes

Erick looked at her, a giggle passing his lips
"Are you serious mami? you're pregnant what else did you expect? a flat tummy and a six pack?" he laughed "Quit playing and go get dressed"

Ray looked at Erick as if he had grown 10 heads, astonished and taken back by his lack of empathy. She blinked a couple of times, standing in silence hoping that maybe she had heard him wrong, but when the smile on Erick's face didn't falter, she shoved the box of cereal in her hand in his chest and stormed off, purposefully crashing into his shoulder.

"Yup, you're in the dog house" Zabdiel said holding a whimpering Theo in his arms
"What did i do-
"Are you serious? did you snort a line of Dumb coke with Chris???" Zabdiel asked Erick "you don't call a pregnant lady fat!"
"I didn't call her fat" Erick said
"Zabdiel said i was quick to jump into bed with him thus calling me a hoe indirectly" Aaliyah said coming up behind Zabdiel
"Mamá" Theo whined reaching for Aaliyah
"Ya lo dije lo siento" Zabdiel argued giving Theo to Aaliyah
"I know, and i forgive you" Aaliyah giggled kissing his cheek "you have some serious apologising to do"
"Especialmente since you know how sensetive she's been feeling" Zabdiel said "the comments are starting to get harsh"
"What comments?" Erick asked
"On IG... havn't you seen them? people are calling her fat, saying she married you to have a baby and trap you... all sorts of horrible stuff. I told her not to read them" Aaliyah told Erick

Erick sighed, putting the box of cereal down and grabbing his car keys. He texted Zabdiel the details of their reservations and drove off.

"Ready to go?" Zabdiel asked Aaliyah
"Yup" Aaliyah beamed "After you tell me why my son is crying"
"Mia sat on his head" Zabdiel explained watching Aaliyah wipe his tears away "while they were rustling"
"And you sat there" Aaliyah drew out "and watched this happen?"
"Seemed like twin stuff, i didn't wanna get involved" Zabdiel shrugged
"Get in the car before i stab you" Aaliyah threatened

Aaliyah walked to the living room where she took Mia by the arm and guided her to Ray's and Erick's room. She knocked on the door softly, entering upon hearing a soft "come in". She put them on the floor by the play mat where they resumed their play fighting before Aaliyah turned to Ray who was watching netflix on her macbook.

"You look good" Ray complimented pushing the Vampire Diaries
"Mother's Day plans" Aaliyah smiled smoothing her outfit out "We're gonna head out, you good?"
"Yeah, just feeling low, but i'll be fine" Ray said with a sad smile
"Look, it's all gonna be over... you'll be back to banging body Ray in no time okay" Aaliyah said reassuringly
"I better be or Erick's gonna pay" Ray giggled
"There's my girl" Aaliyah smiled "I'll see you in a few"
"Enjoy" Ray said to her

Aaliyah closed the door behind her, hopping down the stairs and to the car where Zabdiel sat waiting for her. When she entered the car, instinctively he put his hand on her thigh and drove to the restaurant to commence their plans for mother's day
