To build a home

Surprise

A- I'm also building a treehouse in the backyard for you to go up there to have some peace and quiet and there's gonna be a monitor up there for the babies
Lr- you must really love me don't you?
A- more than anyones capable of. How much do you love me?
Lr- my love for you is consuming. It feels like my whole heart and more
M- as much as I love watching teen love, you guys can use both of those names, but what about the middle names.
Lr- I have an idea for Jordan
A- really, what is it?
Lr- you'll find out when Jordan finds out about it
A- so when he's born?
Lr- yeah
A- I have an idea for Luke
Lr- really?
A- I was thinking James. He would be Luke James Rivera-Davila
Lr- are we gonna be married by the time their born?
A- probably not
Lr- I want his last name to be Davila
A- but what about yours?
Lr- I won't be the last Rivera. I have three brothers that can have kids
A- and their last names will be Rivera
Lr- and plus, there's still Maisie
A- will she still have the same last name after we get married?
Lr- yeah, she's not the girl your marrying. Your just gonna be her brother-in law
A- oh yeah. I didn't think too far
Lr- we need to get a lot done before the twins come and majority of multiples come early so we might not have too long. We need to get the house baby-proofed, we need to design and decorate their room, we need to get cribs and diapers, we still need car seats
A- relax darling, we will. We'll get it all done
Lr- and I won't be able to help with it at all
A- we can FaceTime while shopping so you can pick everything out
Lr- it's not the same
A- I don't know about online ordering cause that stuff can take months and we probably don't have that
M- your making it sound like your dying
A- sorry, I know we're not ready but we might never be
Lr- that doesn't comfort me at all
A- I meant mentally. Were you ready to take care of Maisie?
Lr- no
A- but you did it anyway
M- and I turned out awesome
A- she turned out a little on the off side but you did good
M- ouch
A- sorry mase
M- I expected it
Lr- but we're gonna be raising twins. And nevertheless, boys. I've never raised a boy before
A- we're basically easing Jeremy while he's here and his family is in Ohio. He's not dead so not going terribly
Lr- yeah but Jeremy was practically raised before he came here
A- and he's still going strong.
Lr- I'm still gonna worry
A- parents who worry are going to be great parents
Lr- ok
J- are we going to tell dom? Or Brent and them?
Lr- didn't you guys already tell them?
A- I actually only told Ben
Lr- great
A- I thought he could help
Lr- with what? He's never came
A- I know you might be angry
Lr- Might?!
A- doms really the only one who doesn't know
Lr- what about the rest of the squad? And family?
A- my family knows and Maisie's in charge of telling your family
Lr- ok
The doctor comes in
Lr- what's the news doc?
D- your vitals are steady, so as long as you don't flake out on us again. You'll be good to go home tomorrow
Lr- wait really?
D- yes. Just no excessive amount of moving or exercising
Lr- that sounds good for me
D- and you need to be healthy. It'll help the baby and it will also help you heal. Your still roughly in the first trimester, so in 2 weeks you should be in your second and it will also be four months.
Lr- so I should be feeling better soon?
D- you'll be feeling and looking more pregnant, but yes, the nausea will decrease the farther your along
Lr- great
A- thanks doc
D- yep
The doctor leaves
Lr- so whose gonna tell Brent?
M- you can
Lr- thanks mase
M- I'll tell Blake and Brice and all the aunties and uncles
Lr- soon to be great-aunties and uncles
A- my mom wanted to come down if it's ok
Lr- yeah that's fine
A- ok
Andrew texts his mom it's ok
A- she said she'll be here in 25 minutes
Lr- ok, great
A- I'll take Jeremy and Maisie to go get something to eat
Lr- isn't Ben coming up too?
A- oh crap, I forgot about him
Lr- why doesn't he just hang out with you guys then?
J- that sounds fun
M- great, another boy
Lr- sorry bout that mase
M- it's fine, I mean what can you do?
Lr- you guys could go and grab dom and sof and hang out with them too
A- and leave you out of a group meeting, no way
Lr- it's fine. I don't want mase feeling like the odd one out and if you just hang with sof, then dom will feel left out and I don't want that
A- Ben's already here and I don't want to be driving right now so we'll just grab some food and go look around the hospital or something
Lr- I'm not sure you guys are allowed to just wander around
A- then we'll go to the park or the movie or something
Lr- you just said you didn't want to drive
A- Ben could drive
Ben walks in
B- Ben could do what?
M- Ben!
Maisie runs and hugs Ben
J- hey bro
B- hey bud
Lr- how'd she take the news?
B-  it the best
Ben points to a bruise on his face
Lr- well it wasn't the best idea
B- thanks for the advice lex
Lr- no problem
A- why don't you take jer and mase to the park and I'll meet you there
B- ok sure
Ben leaves with Jeremy and Maisie
Lr- you could've gone
A- I wanted to make sure you and my mom got along well before I left
Lr- left?
A- well with jer and mase
Lr- yeah.
Andrew's mom comes in
Am- hey guys
Lr- hey
A- hi mom
Andrew hugs his mom
Am- hey Lexi
Lr- hi
Am- you can call me mom-in-law if you want to
Lr-  noted
Am- has Andrew told you about us moving in next to you guys and all that jazz
Lr- yeah, maybe not all of it but most of it
Am- we're technically just renting the house until we can buy a house close by. We'll probably be there for about 6 months after you give birth. We have a year plan
Lr- well Andrew never told me that. It's great that you guys'll be here though
Am- we're glad to be here. Hangin out with our son, our daughter-in-law
Lr- not yet
Am- soon to be, and in a couple of months, our grand babies
Lr- hopefully I'll be able to pass this school year, or Maisie and Jeremy will. Honestly, I don't know if any of us will pass
Am- don't worry, the principal knows and so does all the teachers. Maisie and Jeremy have been doing all their school work through the phones while your asleep
Lr- their asleep half of the time
Am- I never said they were passing
Lr- what about Andrew?
Am- he hasn't been doing school. Between the surprise for you and being here
Lr- I need him to pass. At least one of us will.
Am- I'm pretty sure you guys will pass
A- well, I'm gonna go meet up with Ben, so I'll see you guys later
Lr- ok, bye babe. Love you
A- love you too. Love all of y'all
Am- love you too bye
Andrew leaves and meets up with Ben and them
A- hey guys
B- hey
M- can we go get some lunch?
J- yeah, I'm getting pretty hungry
A- sure. Which car do you guys want to ride in?
M- I'll ride with you Andrew
J- so I'll ride with Ben
B- ok, where are we gonna go?
J- McDonald's maybe
M- that sounds good
A- we haven't eaten McDonald in a while so sure
B- McDonald's it is then
They all drive over to McDonald's and they see dom and sofie
A- hey guys
Sd- oh hey
Db- hey what are y'all doing here?
A- we decided to go to the park and we got hungry and we all decided on McDonald's so here we are
Db- where's Lexi at?
A- with my mom.. at the hospital
Db- why is she at the hospital?
A- ok, Lexi got shot so she had surgery and she's still at the hospital cause she's coded twice. And she's been pregnant through all of this
Sd- wait, twice?
A- yeah, but she could be going home tomorrow if she doesn't flake out again
Db- how far along is she?
A- almost four months
Db- Four months?!
A- that's one of the reasons why she hasn't been at school
