"We shouldn't be fighting like that." Teyana tells me with a sad look on her face. "We are sisters, Jada. We are sisters."
"I agree."
"We had our men out here fighting for us and that was not right. Not only did we ruin the party but we broke a few spirits." Teyana continues and I sigh.
Jason hasn't been the same since that fight. Jason has never had to fight for me besides the whole Jay Z thing. Jason is a lover, not a fighter but he sure held his own. He really hurt Iman and I know how much that hurts him considering that they are friends.
"I just wanted to apologise to you." She holds onto my hand and I use my other hand to wipe away a stray tear. "What I did was wrong? I shouldn't have spoken about that without having consulted you guys, hell you waited till you were almost done with the pregnancy to announce it. I was wrong in making our private jokes publics and I know that I run my mouth all the time but I do that because I'm insecure."
"I don't understand."
"Jada, you are a very beautiful woman. You have endless amounts of talents and people love you. Ramira is always that bitch, Jelena makes coin like there is no tomorrow and people love Amber. I'm Teyana and I'm underrated. People don't care that much for me, I ain't nobody's first choice and most people just think I'm too hood." I kiss my teeth because it's true, she is underrated. "I do this to stay relevant and to make sure that you won't dump my ass for a classier person."
"You shouldn't think like that." I cut her off. "You know me Teyana, we have known eachother for years and you know that I'm not like that. If you feel like you ain't getting booked enough then you know that you can always reach out to us girls and we can do projects together. People are missing out on who Teyana is. You are beautiful and insanely talented, you just haven't received the right opportunity yet. Don't compare yourself to us, we all have our flaws."
She rests her head on my chest as I comfort her.
"People care more about my dramas than my actual work. Ramira is always made to feel second best to Rihanna, Jelena has no one and Amber is always referred as a stripper. You're looking at our positives when they're so many things that we go through ourselves. There have been times when I have been envious of you because you are so strong and unapologetic which is why I love you." I kiss her hair. "I don't want us fighting anymore and you don't need to be trying to stay relevant because you will always be relevant to us."

As soon as Jason and I step out onto the carpet, our names are on everybody's lips. We both smile as we pose together, this is our first carpet together since the announcement of the pregnancy.
I would have dressed up more for this moment but it is also date night tonight which means that I want to be as comfortable as possible. These twins are doing the absolute most in my belly so if I show up in a more revealing tight dress then everyone will see my skin strecthing from the baby kicks.
"How are you feeling?" Jason whispers in my ear as we are photographed today.

"Slightly nauseous but I'll be fine." I give him a reassuring smile.
Jason has his pictures taken separately while opt out of that because recently people have been really criticizing me. Everyone keeps talking about the bags under my eyes, the fact that nose and lips have gotten larger. It's just a lot so I don't want to ruin the moment by going through it again knowing that I opted for a more laid back look.
"Ready?" I nod my head as Jason holds out his arm for me. We ignore the reporters as we walk into the venue.
The event was actually for Apple TV, we stayed for three hours before leaving because I was tired. I've heard it all before, all these companies are essentially doing the same by trying to one up eachother.
"What's on your mind?" I ask Jason as we walk into a restaurant.
"The future." I give him a curious look. "I've been thinking that we should renew our vows once the babies are here."
"Why?"
"I guess I always wanted to have my children be apart of that." I smilat the thought. "It would be nice to have photos of our wedding day with the kids."
"That would be nice." I smile as we are seated. "Do you think that you are ready for kids?"
"You can never be ready even when you think you are." He softly responds. "Every child is different and the real test is when they are here. Of course there are going to be moments where we don't feel good enough but it's all about trial and error. I don't think that I'm ready enough but I am very excited to welcome our babies."
"Did you want a home birth, water birth or at the hospital?" I ask after we order our usual.
"That's all up to you but we need to confide in our doula." He says and I smile as I think back to all the pregnancy books that Jason has started reading since finding out that we are having twins. Our coffee table is filled with pregnancy books, I didn't even think of having a doula till Jason brought it up.
"I think that maybe I want a home birth." I say as I carefully think about it. "I think that it would be nice, something for us."
"Do you know who you want there?"
I shrug my shoulders, "I just want it to be us, our doula and the doctor. Our friends and family can come hours later but for that moment, I want it to be something just between us."
"That sounds perfect." He lifts my hand up to his lips and places a light kiss on the back of my hand. I can't help but blush as I look into his eyes. "I'm so in love with you. It's rare that you can meet the woman of your dreams so soon but I am blessed that we found eachother the way we did. We are as cliche as it gets, we met on set of a movie where we played love interests and look at us now."
"Successful, married and expecting twins." I continue and he nods his head at me.
"Before we have the babies, I want to bring you back to my country." His eyes twinkle. "I want you to truly experience our culture. I know that you have been to Hawaii before but this time I want you to really go to Hawaii and experience all of this. I want our children to know of their culture but that's starts with us. We have to know eachother's cultures well before we welcome our children into."
