*Time skip 2 weeks.*

Laurance's POV

I hate this bed rest idea. All day whenever I try to do anything other than sleep and sometimes if Garroth lets me, He and I play a video game. Otherwise, I'm stuck. But I can understand the whole "Wanting to keep your baby safe" thing but I have a life outside of being in this house. Zane's annoyed about it too. He had to be quiet when he yelled at his "friends" online. Garroth is taking this overboard. Why you may ask, Well firstly, Garroth set up a camera so I truly don't get out of bed. It annoys the crap out of me. And secondly, He literally only lets me up to use the bathroom. That's it.

I'm reading through other fanfics on wattpad just because why not? and I hear Zane yelling upstairs. I shout 

"Zane! I can hear you from down here! Quiet down please!" I hear a muffled yell but I can't make it out. I open youtube and just watch old videos. It's boring as you can tell. I hear a fight outside and I move to be able to see out the door. I see Zane and Garroth and Zane looks pissed. 

"Garroth! I can't deal with this whole BED REST thing! It's ruining my life!" Zane yells. Garroth crosses his arms and yells. 

"It's only for another week Zane I promise!" Zane stomps back and forth. 

"I can't deal with another week! I could barely make the last two! That's it! I'm out!" He yells and stomps upstairs to pack I'm assuming. I don't know why I did this but I started to cry. I never have this bad of emotions ever but I guess it's hormonal. I try to keep my tears invisible and I try not to sob. But Garroth ends up coming in anyway. 

"Laurance? You ok?" I shake my head. Again, I don't know why I was so upset over Zane not being able to handle me but anyway. 

"No I'm not ok! I haven't been ok!" I shout. Garroth comes over and plays with my hair and I move his hand. "I'm not in the mood...." I say before laying down and turning away from him. I hear him sigh. 

"Laurance, I need to know what's wrong. I can't do anything unless you tell me. Is this normal for a pregnancy I don't know. If it is then ok But please don't ignore me. We're in this together." I suddenly feel sad instead of angry and I turn back around and hug Garroth tight. 

"I'm sorry! I didn't mean it!" I say. He sighs and I feel his arms wrap around me.  

"It's alright. But why don't you do some research on this mood thing and I'll make some lunch?" He asks and I nod. He goes over to the other side of the room and grabs my laptop and hands it to me. 

"Thanks." I say as he smiles as walks out, closing the door behind him. I open my laptop and sign in. I open Google and I'm hit with an ad for Bud Light. "No thank you sir." I say before closing the ad and searching Are mood swings related to pregnancy? and I of course find tons of websites. I click on one and read through. "Unfortunately (more for everyone around you) mood swings and irritability are key clues to both. A body full of galloping hormones and stress - whether you're frantically hoping you are pregnant or praying that you're not - all adds up to make you a little on the crazy side but remember it is not your fault." Good. I know that when I'm acting a little crazy I'm actually fine. I look down to my abdomen and smile. You're a survivor little one. You're also a stubborn one too. Remember your twin because they may have been there with you, they also made a sacrifice for you. I feel a tear form in my eyes. I still missed the  other twin. I shake the thought and close the laptop. I put it next to me and I cover up and I silently cry. 

Garroth's POV 

Just breathe. The doctor said everything was fine, so you shouldn't worry and follow his orders, right? I'm so focused on my thoughts I smell something burning. I snap out of my focus on my thoughts and I hurriedly throw the omelet I had been making away and start anew. I need to invite someone over. Laurance seems lonely even with me here. Maybe I should call Aphmau to come over, Or Cadenza? I don't know... I look back to the pan and flip the eggs. 

After I finished making lunch, I knocked on the bedroom door and I see the covers over Laurance. I start to shake my head. I walk in and put the plate on his nightstand. I start to walk back out the door until I hear sobbing. I walk back over and tap Laurance. He comes out from the covers with his red puffy eyes. I don't bother asking why because of earlier. 

"Laury, here's your lunch." I say and caress his cheek. He smiles halfly. "Laurance... is something wrong or is it a mood swing?" I ask. He lifts his head slightly and says 

"It's not a mood swing. Garroth... I..." He says and hugs me. I hear a small sob coming from him. 

"It's ok... What happened?" I ask. He sniffles and says 

"It's just an emotional effect from losing the other twin..." I Caress the back of his head and move my fingers through his hair. 

"It's ok... At least we have this one." I say as I put my hand on his abdomen. He nods with sobs slowly fading from his speech.  

"Your right...*Sob* At least we have this one.." He says and puts his hand atop of mine. I use my free hand and put it to his cheek and I move my thumb across his soft skin to dry his tears. He smiles and puts his free hand over it. I bring his chin to my lips and I kiss his tender, cold, and wet lips. While taking little to no breaths in between I caress Laurance's head. I break away and he whimpers. I feel a laugh rise and I let it loose into the sad atmosphere that surrounded us. I stand up with ease and walk to the edge of the bed and find the game controllers on the floor. I hit the power and the power on the Xbox and climb into the other side of the bed. I hand the controller to Laurance and say 

"Up for a game of Halo?" He nods and takes the controller from my hand. I just want him to be happy.
