''So can you do it?''

Menique sipped on her milkshake as her friend Theo kept his eyes glued onto his laptop as they sat in the restuarant.

''Yeah... here it's done''

She jumped up,kissed him and hugged him as much as her seven month belly would allow her. The other customers looked on curiously at their embrace.

''Thank you! Thank you! You are literary a life saver.''

''Yeah! yeah! yeah! You know I am only doing this for you.''

He said disheartened

''Come on Spod don't be like that''

'No Mini...."

He shortened her name. which suit her since she was short and plus size.

" ..you know how I feel but since you told me you do not want to hear it. I am just going to be a silent supportive friend and ex.''

She sat down with a sigh when he stood up with his laptop under his armpit.

''Anywho I have an appointment to get to. Baby I really hope you are making the right decision here. I did and still love you even though for most of our relationship I wasn't the best boyfriend. That will go down as my greatest regret and I won't stop apologizing to you-''

This is not what she came here for so she lifted up her right hand motioning for him to stop. It was all in the past and that is where she wanted it to stay.

''Theo stop,I forgave years ago and I need you to move on with your life. It has been eleven years.''

It was Theo/Spod's turn to sigh,he kissed her on the cheek and walked out without another word. Menique sat back in her chair placing her right hand on her belly which held her seven month twins. She grabbed her cellphone,speed dialing before placing it on her ear for less than a minute before hanging up with a smile.

''I am here for Ethan and Evan.''

The school secretary called for her twin boys through the intercom while pointing her towards a seat in the waiting area. Five minutes later tiny footsteps were heard running towards the waiting room and they boys with other preschoolers walked in.

''Mom can we call dad later tonight,we have to tell him about the field trip Mrs. Butterfield wants her class to go to.''

Ethan who was the most talkative of the two said.

''You can tell him now,we are going to pick him up."

''Dad is coming home today?''

Evan asked and got a head nod from her mother. She noticed their faces beam with excitement. They had missed their father.

''Boy am I glad his trip did not take as long as dad had said."

Both boys sighed dramatically making their mother laugh. As soon as she parked her car Ethan senior confidently walked up to it. Menique got out of the drivers seat,into the passenger seat. Her husband gave the boys fist bumps before kissing her seven month belly.

''Thank you baby."

She smiled without saying anything as he planted a soft kiss on her cheeks then intertwining his fingers with hers as he drove home.
