To build a home

Part 22

Lexi looks online and picks out the stuff she wants for the twins
A- all of this?
Lr- if you don't have enough money, just get the most important stuff. I want to make sure we have enough since we're having twins
A- ok
Andrew goes over to his family's house
A- hey guys
Am- hey
A D- hey son
A S- what's going on?
A B- yeah
A- I was wondering if you guys wanted to go baby shopping with me. Lexi picked out a bunch of stuff for me to get
Am- as long as she picked it out
A- I'm gonna pick some stuff out too if we have enough money
Am- I'll pay for it
A- I don't want you paying for this stuff? It's way too much money
A S- I'll chip in
A B- same, I have a lot of money I'm not using or even need
A D-we have some savings we don't need to use
A- are you guys sure?
Am- yeah, I mean your gonna need a lot just for one baby
A- and we're having two
Am- yep, you guys are gonna need all the help you can get
A- I guess so
They all go to the store and get a bunch of stuff for the babies. Most of the stuff Lexi picked out. Andrew's mom got some stuff she thinks they'll need and the rest of the family each got some clothing of something for the babies. They get home 2 hours later and they help Andrew put everything in the nursery. Lexi stays on the couch the whole time.
A- hey baby
Lr- hey guys
Am- hey
A S- hi
A B- hey
A D- hi
Lr- you guys sure did get a lot of stuff
A- I got everything you wanted
Lr- everything?
Am- and we got some stuff that we wanted to get for the babies
Lr- thank you guys
A B- no prob
A S- we didn't have anything else to do
Andrew's brother shoved his sister
A D- it really was no problem, just helping out
Lr- really, thank you guys
Am- your welcome
They finish getting all of the stuff into the nursery
A- we'll decorate later
Lr- ok
Am- I'll be back the day after tomorrow to help you with school
Lr- ok, thanks
Am- no prob
Andrew's family leaves. Maisie comes downstairs a couple of minutes later
M- ok, I'm not gonna ask what just happened with all of the moving stuff
Lr- ok
M- but I do wanna know if I can spend the night at sofie's
Lr- sure, but make sure to take your school stuff ok
M- ok
Maisie goes upstairs and gets her stuff ready. Lexi calls sofie
Sd- hey lex
Lr- hey, can Maisie spend the night?
Sd- sure, I'll come pick her up
Lr- ok
Sd- how are you doing?
Lr- a little sore but I'm good
Sd- good, I'll be there in a half an hour
Lr- great, see you then
Sd- see you
Sofie hangs up and Maisie comes downstairs with her stuff
Lr- sofie said she'll be here in a half an hour
M- ok
Maisie sits down on the couch next to Lexi and Lexi sits up
Lr- hey mase
M- yeah
Lr- when they decorate the room, do you want to help them? I want someone with my taste doing it
M- of course
Lr- I'll make sure Andrew knows to wait for you to decorate then
M- great
Lr- great
Andrew comes back
A- hey baby
Lr- hey hon
Andrew starts crying
Lr- come here
Andrew walks over to her and lies down next to her. She cradled him
Lr- what happened?
Andrew starts crying more
Lr- we don't have to talk
Lexi holds him until sofie gets there. She rings the doorbell and Maisie runs to the door and unlocks it
Sd- hey guys
A- hi
Lr- hey sof
M- hi
Sd- what's going on?
Lr- can you just take mase? I want her to be happy tonight
Sd- sure. Let's go mase
M- ok. Love you guys
Lr- we love you too
M- bye
Lr- bye mase
Sofie and Maisie leave and sofie takes Maisie back to her place with dom and everybody else
Lr- can you tell me what's going on?
A- I don't know if I can
Lr- ok
Andrew starts sobbing
Lr- it's ok baby, it's ok
Lexi rocks Andrew back and forth on the couch
Back with sofie and Maisie
Sd- what's going on?
M- I don't know. He came back from his family's house and was really sad
Sd- he didn't tell you guys why?
M- nope

Back with Lexi and Andrew
A couple of hours pass and Andrew still hasn't told Lexi what happened. Andrew falls asleep while Lexi is hugging him. She pushes him off of her and tries to get up to get something to eat, but she can't.
Lr- crap.
Andrew wakes up
A- what?
Lr- nothing babe, just go back to sleep
A- no seriously, what?
Lr- I just tried to get up and I couldn't, that's it
A- what do you need?
Lr- I don't need anything
A- Lexi
Lr- I just wanted to get something to eat
A- I'll get it
Andrew gets up and goes into the kitchen
Lr- you really don't have to
A- yes I do
Andrew grabs a sale and brings it over to Lexi
Lr- thanks
A- no problem
Lr- now that your up
A- don't ask Lexi
Lr- I have to
A- no you really don't
Lr- Andrew. We can't keep secrets
A- then you tell me everything
Lr- I already have
A- no, you obviously haven't because I wouldn't be mad at you right now if you have
Lr- why are you mad at me?
A- I can't tell you
Lr- yes, you can. I want to know why your mad at me
A- I don't want to
Lr- why not?
A- because
Lr- Andrew
A- it feels like my mom doesn't want anything to do with me anymore
Lr- but didn't she just help you with everything for the babies
A- she didn't do it for me
Lr- who did she do it for?
A- you.
Lr- I don't get it. Why would she do that for me?
A- why wouldn't she?
Lr- I mean I know she wants to help me
A- she wants to know what it would be like if you were her daughter instead of me being her son
Lr- she would never want to trade you. Not for anybody. I won't let her trade you for me, ok
A- but
Lr- but nothing. Your her son, I'm not related. You be her son, and I'll just be her soon to be daughter in law. If she wants me to be more than that than she needs to ask me to be more
A- it's not that, that's upsetting me though. Of course she wants you more than me.
Lr- then what is it?
A- she tried to tell me that I was her son and always would be, but
Lr- no
A- she had a heart attack
Lr- what?!
A- she's in the hospital. That's where the rest of the family is
Lr- but why aren't you?
A- I didn't want you to be here without anybody to take care of you
Lr- go. I'm fine. You need to go see your mom
A- are you sure?
Lr- I'm more sure than I ever have been. Go
A- ok
Andrew runs out of the house and rushes to the hospital. Lexi starts to feel something going on with the babies so she calls Dr Nash
DN- what's going on Lexi?
Lr- something doesn't feel right
DN- what do you mean?
Lr- it feels like one's trying to push his way out
DN- do you feel contractions?
Lr- I just did
DN- I'm on the way, I'll be there soon
Lr- come to my house, I got discharged today
DN- ok. Is there anybody else there with you?
Lr- no
DN- I'm on my way
