What about us : sequel to lavishly living

All on me

Jalen POV
Not only did I invest in another property in LA but I purchased our dream home. Liv has been looking at this house for the past couple of weeks and won't shut up about it. It's a 5 bedroom 4 bathroom house on 3 acres of land and infinity pool out Door entertainment movie theater gym/spa open floor plan and a giant kitchen. It's everything she's been asking for. Yes it's a little out of budget but we can manage. I put an offer on it and I got the house. So instead of mailing everything to her parents house in LA, I'm gonna mail it to that house and surprise her. Speaking of surprises I'm on my way back to New York to see them. I know she'll be happy to see me.

Liv POV

I had nothing but meetings today so nyx is with my dad for the day. Before the meetings I had a doctors appointment again just to follow up with everything. I texted Jalen to let him know because I know he wanted to be here for it. I put my phone down and go ready for the day. I wasn't feeling like putting on make up or anything today so I just put on some sunglasses and sweatpants with some Jordan 1s and went about my day.

"Hello Olivia how are we feeling this morning?"the doctor asked. "I'm tired. How about yourself."I laughed. "I'm doing well. So today's check up we're gonna look at how the babies are positioned and they're heart beats. I'll also take this time to ask you would like to do Amniocentesis. It's a a minimally invasive test we stick a needle into your belly and we take a sample of amniotic fluid. I'd highly suggest it."she informed me. "Are there any risk?"I asked. "There's a risk of infection. That's really it but it's extremely rare."she nodded. "Could we schedule for next week when my fiancé is here."I asked. "Of course. Ok so go ahead and lay back for me and we can get started with a few questions."she pulled my file up on the computer. "So clearly your hands and feet have been swelling as I can see."she typed. "Yeah that's new."I laughed. "Also I've been very congested and heartburn all the time."I said. "Ok. How often are you urinating a day if you could give me an estimate?"she asked. "I'm not sure maybe like 4 to 5 times."I guessed. "Okay. Let's check on the babies." She put the cold gel on my stomach. "Any concerns?"she asked me. "Will I make it to full term?"I asked. "There's a small possibility that you won't. Everything will be fine the earliest that twins can be born and have a high survival rate is about 32 to 34 weeks."she informed. "Your baby boy has a very strong and steady heart beat and your girl is looking just as well they're both healthy as I can be. As for you mama. You have got to relax more. "Your hands and feet should be this swollen 17 weeks into pregnancy and you blood pressure is through the roof. So I'm going to prescribe you an early maternity leave. Also no more sex No working no standing for longs periods of time. Just bed rest. I know you have a four year old but still take it easy."she explained. "Okay."I sighed. "Overall keep taking your prenatal vitamins and we'll see you back here next Tuesday for the amniocentesis."she gave me a copy of the babies pictures. "Thank you."I cleaned myself up and headed home. I went home and put that picture in a little box and wrapped it in a bow for when Jay gets home. I then took a shower and went to my meetings for the day. I had one with the lawyers and then I had to present my ideas for the winter collection. After that I had to review for the fall collection that's coming up. Lastly we were going to have a family dinner.

Between my first two meetings Tori and I met up to have lunch. "Hi how are you. You look amazing."she joined me at sugar factory. "Thank you girl I feel huge and I'm only 17 weeks."I rubbed my belly. "Stop it. You're glowing."she complimented. "I ordered you a lemonade."I said. "Clutch as fuck. So what's up?"she asked. "Nothin. Jalen still isn't home. My son is out of control and I can't deal with him so I give him to his grandparents and I'm pregnant with high blood pressure. How about you?"I smiled. "Where's Jalen?"she asked. "In LA. He just got a new property he's turning into a club."I informed her. "That's amazing. Why do you have high blood pressure?" She asked. "I'm stressed. I can't find a house to move into. These babies are growing too damn fast and fucking Alyssa."I began to rant about yesterday. "That bitch is crazy. Awe im sorry you're dealing with so much. Drop nyx off whenever you need a day or night off I got you."she sympathized. "What's been going on with you?"I asked. "Traveling like a motherfucker. Nothing to report forreal richh and I are back together."she laughed. "That's good I guess. Right?"I asked. Richh is no good for Tori but she keeps going back to him so I kinda just let her do her. "I mean yeah I feel like he's changed this time. For real."she smiled. "As long as you're happy girl." I laughed. She knows exactly how i feel about him I wish she would get back with Isiah.
