I sip my water listening to the conversation that Richard, Shawn and my dad are having. "Come on Canada, you're telling me you have never been to cracker barrel after living here for so long?" Dad shakes his head, you can easily see the annoyance on my dad's and Shawn's face, Shawn continuously squeezed my thigh not too hard to hurt me but enough to add a little pressure. I rest a hand on top of his to calm him down a bit. Our waitress comes back to take our order. "Ladies first." Shawn says and mom goes first. "I would like to have the lobster pasta." I look at the menu the lobster sounds good. "What do you want baby?" I point. "I will also have the lobster pasta." Maggie sets her menu down. "I want the-" Richard cuts her off. "She will have-" I cut him off. "What do you want? Maggie." Her cheeks turn pink. "The T-bone steak." The lady writes it down, Richard gives me a death glare and I glare back. Shawn grabs my hand under the table squeezing gently getting me to stop. He leans into my ear to whisper. "Don't antagonize him, because if he do or say something to you, I might kill him." Then he kiss my cheek. "Yeah, you better put her in her place." I scoff. "And what place is that?" I rub my belly wincing a bit. "Baby?" He holds my hand and I squeeze. "Braxton hicks already?" Maggie asked concern. "Oh, no I just get cramps time to time." The pain subsides and I let go of his hand. "It makes sense, your body is making room for your girls. They need all the space to grow." I smile at her words. "There's a possible chance she might go into early labor." Shawn and I look at dad. "You never told us this." He shrugs sipping his drink, he licks his bottom lip catching the droplet that was about to fall. "I didn't want the two of you to worry, especially Shawn, knowing him. If I told you before this trip he would have kept you at home for the rest of the summer." Shawn drinks down his drink his leg is shaking. "The hell I would have, now we have to worry about her water braking through this whole trip." Dad waves him off. She will be fine it's just a guesstimate it doesn't mean that she will-" I grab Shawn's hand. "What wrong? Is it the twins, shit, are you going into labor!"  I sigh. "False alarm, I have to pee." Shawn gets up and pulls back my chair, he takes my hand helping me up. "Want me to walk with you?" I shake my head. "I got it, Maggie will join me, won't you Maggie?" Maggie looks between her husband and me. "Oh, yes, I have to go anyway." We walk into the restroom together and I lock the door. "I thought you had to go." I make sure we're the only two in here. "I do, give me a minute." I go into one of the stalls to do my business, once I came and washed my hands I began to speak the plan. "My father's friends that are watching your kids, they are also helping you find a place to get away from your husband." Her eyes filled with pure shock and fear as she quickly shakes her head. "I can't, I can't, if he finds out he will-" I cut her off taking her hand. "The woman that's watching your kids is a cop and one of dad's good friends, she will make sure he will never hurt you or your kids ever again. Trust us that we will help you, you gave me that note for a reason, right?" She slowly nods her head. "Then trust me, where in Texas do you live?" She rubs her belly. "Dallas." I smile. "Us too, do you want to go back to Dallas?" She shakes her head. "No, I chose this vacation on purpose, to find away to get away from him if I could but then I got cold feet. When we met you two I gained the courage to ask you for help but of course I got scared and changed my mind." I nod letting her know I understood. We go back to the table just in time for our food to arrive. "This looks amazing!" I say cheerfully, Shawn smiles at my excitement as he takes a bite of his meal. Shawn glance at me from the corner of his eyes and laughed. "You want to try some?" I nod opening my mouth and he feeds me. "Hm." I say he raise a brow. "What?" I shake my head. "It's good."

After dinner we head back to the hotel. "My feet hurt." I cry as I plop down on the bed. He kiss my ankles repeatedly. "Tomorrow you will be 6 months, are you nervous about going back to school in a few weeks?" I groan rubbing my belly, Shawn massages my feet kissing them a few times then he gets up. "I guess I'm a little nervous, it will be crazy if my water broke in the middle of the school year." I joke but he doesn't laugh. "That's not something you should be joking about. This is serious, we're talking about our babies life. The school is nowhere close to a hospital. You know how long it will take us to get there?" I giggle sitting up a bit. "They're not going to slide out when my water breaks." I kiss his jawline down to his neck enjoying his smell then he pulls away. "Where are you going?" He pulls his shirt off and toss it to the side. "I'm going to shower, why?" I whine making him laugh. "What?" I reach out for him. "Cuddle me?" He smiles. "I guess the shower could wait." He crawls into bed next to me, he opens his arms inviting me in for cuddling and I happily scoot closer to him. He rubs my belly as he plant kisses all over my face then my lips. "How are you feeling?" His hand graze over my ass lightly. "I'm a little tired and I'm also worried about Maggie, she chose San Antonio for vacation so she can get away from that asshole of a husband." I yawn a few times which is irritating cause I'm not that tired but Shawn on the other hand insists I should go to sleep while he showers and I ended up falling asleep anyway.
