Alia's POV

Varun and I got ready in the morning and then decided to go visit Shraddha. We picked her up some Starbucks and cheesy chips and then drove to her house. When I knocked on the door, Jacqueline opened it. She gave me a weird look.

"Something's up with them two. Be careful what you say to them." She warns us.

"Umm... is the baby okay?" I ask worriedly.

"Yeah, not just the baby, babies! You're having twins!"

"Seriously?!" I hug Varun in joy. "We're having twins!"

"What's so good about stupid twins?" Shraddha interrupts.

"What do you mean?"

"They're two crying nuisance babies to handle instead of one. That's so annoying."

"Well sorry Shraddha. It's not my fault you don't share our happiness. That's not really best friend like." I retort.

"That's good." She says and flops down on the sofa.

I sit down next to her. "I brought you Starbucks and cheesy chips." I hand them to her.

"Yum!" She says. "I mean, you better had!"  She golfs down the chips and slurps the Starbucks.

"Shraddha I know you're pregnant but manners!" I say to her.

"You're lucky I'm even having this baby for you Alia! So shut up and be grateful!" She carries on eating.

"Goodness Shraddha what's gotten into you?" Varun asks.

"Tell me about it!" Aditya walks down the stairs. "She's been like this all day. I don't want to stay here anymore!" He says to us.

"Adi, calm down. I'm sure it's probably hormones or something."

"Hormones! No Alia, it's when I saw your face!"

"Shraddha if you weren't pregnant with my babies I would've pulled you into a catfight."

"Ugh whatever!" She burps in my face.

Sidharth then walks in with Ayesha. "Shraddha she's continuously crying."

"Give me her. What's wrong baby?" She asks Ayesha. She gets Shraddha's finger and puts it in her mouth, rubbing it against her gums.

"Umm Shraddha that's a bit unhygienic shouldn't you take your finger out her mouth." I say.

"EXCUSE ME! What do you mean by unhygienic huh! I'm her mother not a random stranger. Don't try teach me how to handle my daughter ok!" She rants.

"She didn't mean that Shraddha your taking it wrong." Varun interrupts.

"Please Varun don't defend your wife ok." She retorts.

Sidharth stands there watching everything.

"Aren't you going to say anything?" I ask him impatiently.

Sidharth just shrugs.

"Unbelievable!" I grab my purse and keys.

"Alia wa- I mean fine, go."

"Come on Varun. I can tell we're unwanted here." I shoot Shraddha a dirty look.

Varun and I leave.

"What on earth is up with her?!" I ask Varun.

"I have no idea."

Shraddha's POV

I feel so terrible. "Baby you need rest." Sidharth says taking Ayesha from me.

"But-"

"I'll come up with Ayesha in a bit don't worry."

"Okay." I hug him.

He whispers "go call Varun and tell him everything, I'll distract Aditya"

I nod and head upstairs. As Sidharth and I have an on suite in our bedroom I go into the bathroom and shut the door. I get my phone and call Varun.

"Hello Varun? Can you meet me at Lemon and Pepper in about ten minutes?"

Aditya's POV

I just heard Shraddha call Varun. She thinks she's so clever. Let me follow her...

Will Shraddha be able to tell Varun everything? Or will Aditya harm Ayesha?
