Zabdiel watched tentativly as the twins rustled on the carpet, throwing in small comments until Mia sat dead on Theo's head causing him to start crying. Erick typed away on his phone looking up when he heard foot steps and saw Ray walking down in a shirt with no pants.
"Mami why arn't you dressed, we're already late" Erick asked
"Because i don't wanna go anywhere" Ray said simply
"Why? what's wrong" Erick asked looking all over her body to see if she was bleeding or bruised
"Nothing" Ray shrugged going to the pantry
"Then upstairs you go and you're getting dressed for the amazing day i have planned for-
"I DON'T WANNA GO OKAY!" Ray yelled ripping his arms off of her "I don't wanna go anywhere, i don't want anyone to see me!"
"Mami que pasó?" Erick asked taken back by her tone
"Nothing fits! nothing fucking fits... i look fat in everything that does. I can't even see my fucking toes" Ray sniffed feeling the tears trick at her eyes
Erick looked at her, a giggle passing his lips
"Are you serious mami? you're pregnant what else did you expect? a flat tummy and a six pack?" he laughed "Quit playing and go get dressed"
Ray looked at Erick as if he had grown 10 heads, astonished and taken back by his lack of empathy. She blinked a couple of times, standing in silence hoping that maybe she had heard him wrong, but when the smile on Erick's face didn't falter, she shoved the box of cereal in her hand in his chest and stormed off, purposefully crashing into his shoulder.
"Yup, you're in the dog house" Zabdiel said holding a whimpering Theo in his arms
"What did i do-
"Are you serious? did you snort a line of Dumb coke with Chris???" Zabdiel asked Erick "you don't call a pregnant lady fat!"
"I didn't call her fat" Erick said
"Zabdiel said i was quick to jump into bed with him thus calling me a hoe indirectly" Aaliyah said coming up behind Zabdiel
"Mamá" Theo whined reaching for Aaliyah
"Ya lo dije lo siento" Zabdiel argued giving Theo to Aaliyah
"I know, and i forgive you" Aaliyah giggled kissing his cheek "you have some serious apologising to do"
"Especialmente since you know how sensetive she's been feeling" Zabdiel said "the comments are starting to get harsh"
"What comments?" Erick asked
"On IG... havn't you seen them? people are calling her fat, saying she married you to have a baby and trap you... all sorts of horrible stuff. I told her not to read them" Aaliyah told Erick
Erick sighed, putting the box of cereal down and grabbing his car keys. He texted Zabdiel the details of their reservations and drove off.
"Ready to go?" Zabdiel asked Aaliyah
"Yup" Aaliyah beamed "After you tell me why my son is crying"
"Mia sat on his head" Zabdiel explained watching Aaliyah wipe his tears away "while they were rustling"
"And you sat there" Aaliyah drew out "and watched this happen?"
"Seemed like twin stuff, i didn't wanna get involved" Zabdiel shrugged
"Get in the car before i stab you" Aaliyah threatened
Aaliyah walked to the living room where she took Mia by the arm and guided her to Ray's and Erick's room. She knocked on the door softly, entering upon hearing a soft "come in". She put them on the floor by the play mat where they resumed their play fighting before Aaliyah turned to Ray who was watching netflix on her macbook.
"You look good" Ray complimented pushing the Vampire Diaries
"Mother's Day plans" Aaliyah smiled smoothing her outfit out "We're gonna head out, you good?"
"Yeah, just feeling low, but i'll be fine" Ray said with a sad smile
"Look, it's all gonna be over... you'll be back to banging body Ray in no time okay" Aaliyah said reassuringly
"I better be or Erick's gonna pay" Ray giggled
"There's my girl" Aaliyah smiled "I'll see you in a few"
"Enjoy" Ray said to her
Aaliyah closed the door behind her, hopping down the stairs and to the car where Zabdiel sat waiting for her. When she entered the car, instinctively he put his hand on her thigh and drove to the restaurant to commence their plans for mother's day
"Being the Kendall's of the group is so much more fun" Kendall smiled as she finished off her drink
"I can't imagine having a child at this age" Kat giggled
"Well i was thinking" Aleesha said circling the rim of her glass with her finger
"No" Kendall said raising her hand to signal the waiter
"Oh c'mon" Aleesha signed
"If you can give me one good reason why then you can have one" Kat said
"They're cute" Aleesha argued
"They also poop, scream, kick, and not to mention how painful it is to have them!" Kendall said as the waiter came to their table
"How may i help you ladies" He said with a smile
"Will you please tell our friend here that having a baby is a bad idea" Kendall said placing her hands on the table
"I mean it depends who with" he answered honestly
"With my husband of a year" Aleesha said
"Oh you're married?" He asked shocked
"Yup" Aleesha said raising her ringed hand
"She's a 22 year old business woman whose about to start a new branch in New York and she wants to slow down and interrupt the process by having a baby" Kendall informed rhe waiter
"Look, my mother had me when she was 16, had to drop out and everyday i see the regret in her face when she looks at me, if i were you... i'd wait it out. Maybe til you're 26 or 28" The waiter advised "tje world isn't in a rush... you shouldn't be either"
"Amen" Kendall praised "3 sex on the beaches and 6 fire shots please"
"Coming right up" The waiter smiled before leaving
Aaliyah set the fork and knife down, grabbing the glass of wine next to her to take a sip but slowing down when she looked up to see Zabdiel looking at her.
"Please don't ruin my day" She sighed
"What do you mean "ruin"?" Zabdiel asked
"That look speaks volumes" Aaliyah said sipping the alcoholic beverage "what's up?"
"I meant what i said" Zabdiel said nonchalantly
"Awe i know you meant that i'm beautiful" Aaliyah smiled sweetly
"Not that" Zabdiel said "that i want another baby"
"Okay" Aaliyah said taking the last bite of the stake
"Okay?" Zabdiel questioned
"What do you want me to do? Grab my phone and order another baby at the factory?" Aaliyah asked
"No, but i was expecting something else" Zabdiel signed
"Look mg love you're gonna have to be clear with me on this one, i don't sniff thoughts out of peoples heads okay" Aaliyah said taking the last sip of her wine
"I was expecting you to want one with me" Zabdiel said with a shrug
"So if i'm reading between the lines, all you want from me is a baby?" Aaliyah questioned leaning back into her chair
"Yes" Zabdiel beamed
"So all you see when you look at me is a baby popping machine?" Aaliyah asked narrowing her eyes
"Wait— is this a trick question?" Zabdiel asked
"You wouldn't know a trick question if it slapped you in the face and said hi i'm a trick question" Aaliyah said coldly "Now you're going to listen to me and you're gonna listen to me carefully... i didn't marry you to keep popping out babies and doing whatever the fuck you want me to, i married you because i love you... and if you just see me as this baby making machine then what's the point of us being married?"
"Nena i didn't-
"I don't remember saying i was finished" Aaliyah said raising her hand "And honestly i'm pretty hurt that you would think something like that Zabdiel"
"Nena-
"Check please" Aaliyah asked the nearest waiter "I wanna go home"
Erick walked into his and Ray's shared bedroom quietly, taking in the scene of Ray sitting doing Mia's hair while Mia sat between her legs and Sienna handed her the supplies
"I never paid attention to the comments you know, they always came in my dms when Erick and i posted pictures together all the way when we were friends and even when we got married the comments were still there and it was always the same poop that i never let get to me and now that it's getting to me and i need him to support me he thinks i'm crazy" Ray ranted to the two kids "sometimes your papa hurts my feelings"
"And i'm so sorry mamita" Erick intervened catching Ray's attention "I honestly didn't mean to, i was so caught up in getting my day done and making it perfect, that i was rude and neglectful"
"It's not just pregnancy making me feel this way" Ray said as tears began to build up in her eyes
Erick moved to her side of the bed, sitting on the edge and cupping her face
"I know, i know the comments can get too much and can start to be hard to ignore but i'm so proud of you for ignoring the haters and still smiling" Erick said softly "please don't listen to them, you know why you married me and i know why okay"
"Te amo" Ray whispered
"Te amo tanto mi vida" Erick said kissing her cheek
Before Ray could say anything there was a loud bang that came from downstairs making them all jump, Aaliyah slammed the door as she stormed inside with Zabdiel trailing behind her trying to get her attention.
"No Zabdiel don't even try" Aaliyah said pulling her wrist from his grasp
"Okay what happened?" Aleesha asked from the couch
"ZABDIEL HERE WANTS A BABY! AND ALL I AM TO HIM IS A BABY MAKING MACHINE" Aaliyah yelled
"Woah okay calm down i'm sure he didn't mean it like that" Richard said raising his hands "right Zabdiel?"
"Yes! what he said! nena i didn't mean it like that" Zabdiel repeated
"I don't care how the hell you meant it, you can take your shit and go sleep downstairs. Matter of fact i'm locking the door. You can have babies with the fucking couch" Aaliyah yelled before storming upstairs and slamming the door
"So when do i tell her her children are in my room?" Ray asked after a moment of silence
Zabdiel moved to answer but stopped when the back door opened and closed and a rather tired looking Christopher came from the kitchen. Kat's eyes widened when hers and Christopher's connected and they seemed to get lost in some communication that no one else could understand
"Can i help you?" Ray asked snapping her fingers
"Kat" Christopher said breathlessly as if he ran a mile
"I think we should leave" Richard said taking Aleesha's shoulders and guiding her away from the scene
"Uh uh, it's time some of yall get taught a lesson" Kendall said slipping her shoes off and jumping over the couch.
Before she could touch Christopher, Erick had already caught her and held her to his chest. Aleesha moved but Richards iron grip stopped her.
"Wait wait, before you come for me can i please speak" Christopher asked looking at Ray
"You have 10 seconds" Ray said narrowing her eyes
"I don't wanna hear it" Kat whispered grabbing her things
"Bonita" Christopher tried
"Goodbye Christopher" Kat said before walking out of the door.
"10 seconds is up" Ray smiled
"Mamita" Erick growled
"Fine, but come near me and i will skin you alive chapstick hating Ecuawhorian" Ray spat "que carbón"
