My eyes flutter open and a smile forms on my face. Today is my 25th week appointment and I'm so excited. I get to see my babies today and I'll be in my third trimester in two weeks.

My joy is very short lived when I remember that Rena wants everyone over to talk things out. Honestly I'm not in mood to talk, I never want to speak to those people again. On the other hand I know we have to adults. Especially Julian and I, we have children involved.

The worst thing about this is, Jesse isn't here. He's in beverly hills with family this weekend, because it is mother's day on Sunday. I wish he was here for this talk. I need my support system. Luckily though Harper will be there though.

I climb out of Jesse's bed and walk over to the kitchen. I make myself a bowl of oatmeal and grab some raspberries then sit on the sofa. As I begin to eat, my phone rings. It's a facetime from Jesse.

I answer and smile as his face pops up on my screen. It looks like he just got out of the shower.

"Good morning." He smiled as I prop my phone up.

"Good morning."

"How'd you sleep? What are you eating?"

"I wish you were next to me, and oatmeal with raspberries."

"I wish I was next to you too, you excited to see the twins?"

"Beyond excited! I hope the doctor tells me that everything's fine and they'll be here on time."

"Be sure to tell her about your stress and ask for ways to help manage that okay?"

I nod.

"Well I gotta get dressed for breakfast, I love you and call me before you get to Rena's."

"I love you more."

We end the call and I smile. Even though Jesse and I aren't official, he's an amazing boyfriend to be. The way he cares and loves me is so refreshing. He listens to me, allows me to be vulnerable with him. I don't have to think before I speak because I'm scared that it'll start an argument.

He even told me we're gonna do the nursery when he gets back. I'm so happy because I didn't even have to say anything, he brought it up. I had to beg Julian to just think of an idea when we were together. See how things change?

Once I finish eating, I wash my dishes then hop in the shower. I clean myself and rub my belly. "Mommy can't wait to meet you two, I love you guys so much already."

After my shower, I get dressed and put my hair in a low bun. I quickly grab my things and head out. My nerves are all over the place, I really just hope everything is okay. That's all I'm concerned about right now.

"Hello Sinead! You're glowing!" My doctor exclaimed as she walked into the room. She sat her clipboard down then lend against the counter.

"Thank you." I smile.

"So how have you been doing since our last visit?"

"Honestly I was under an immense amount of stress, but I'm doing better now."

"How did you deal with the stress?"

"Suppress those feelings, I know it isn't good but I don't know how to help myself feel better in a healthy way."

"Well first I'd advise you to remove yourself from the situation that's causing you the stress, and I'd try meditation."

I nod and thank her. I'll definitely do my research on meditation. It'll probably be really beneficial for me.
