Beyoncé

I walked into Bella's room and saw her laying on the bed. I quietly shut her door and hesitantly approached her. "B?" Bella didn't move and I raised my brow, continuing to stare at her back. "I know you hear me speaking to you."

Bella sighed and slowly turned on her side to face me. "Yes?" I tried to gauge what she was feeling by looking at her expression, but she kept giving me that blank stare. Jay has the same one, and it's extremely frustrating.

So instead I took a seat on the edge of her bed and looked down at her. We would have to do this the hard way. "Why are you upset?" I asked. "And do not tell me you aren't."

"I'm not upset." Bella replied dryly. I narrowed my eyes at her.

"What did I just say? Don't play with me."

Bella sighed again. "Can you just let it go?"

"Nope." I continued staring at Bella, waiting for her to answer my question correctly. We would be here all night if we had to, but I'm not leaving this room until whatever going on with B is resolved.

"Baby, come on. You know you can talk to me." I stated, tilting my head down to get a better look at Bella's face. She closed her eyes and frowned, but kept quiet. "You're not happy that I'm pregnant?"

"I am happy for you." Bella sighed, finally looking at me. "I'm really happy for you. And I kinda knew already. The stuff you've been eating lately has been nastier than usual."

I chuckled and gently smacked her arm. "Shut up." Bella laughed and I smiled. "What's wrong then? You don't seem too excited, and if you're not that's fine, I would just like to know why."

Bella shrugged. "I don't know. I just know things are going to change, and I don't like change." She rolled her eyes and shook her head. "Everything's been changing for me lately and it's a lot harder to deal with than you'd think. I just want a break."

I nodded. "I understand that, but this doesn't have to be a negative change. And you know I love you, that's not going to change. I know three kids can be handful, especially having two under ten, but we'll still spend time together like we do now baby. That won't ever change." I assured her.

Bella nodded. "I know that, I wasn't really worried about it. It's just weird because I haven't had siblings my whole life, and now I'm about to have two in a short period of time. Kinda crazy, you know?"

I nodded. "I know. But you love Blue, you don't want someone else to spoil with my money?"

Bella smiled a little. "I mean yeah, but Blue can be a handful sometimes." She chuckled. I nodded my head in agreement.

"Yes, but so can you." I raised my brow. Bella gasped.

"That's a lie!" She defended. "I'm awesome."

I laughed. "Sometimes. And other times you're an ass."

"I'm hurt." Bella pouted. I rolled my eyes while she sat up. "Anyway, I'm sorry. Like I said, I am happy for you, there's just been a lot going on lately and I'm trying to deal with it all."

"Okay. I understand that." I nodded. "But speaking of a lot going on, you need to speak to your daddy." I stated. "I'm tired of both of you ignoring each other, mainly you. Stop being petty."
