"Lia.." I sigh, following her into the house. "Amelia!"
My raised voice catches her attention, making her turn back to me.
"You want to know?" I ask.
"Yes." She nods.
"Fine.. sit down."
We sit down on the sofa, and I try to think through exactly what I'm going to say, but honestly I have no idea. How do I tell my wife that my crazy ex called me and is probably going to be interfering with our lives until all of this comes to an end.
"Do you remember Lydia?" I ask.
"The gold digger? Of course." She nods.
"She is Michaels sister." I say.
Her eyes widen, and her mouth drops.
"There's no way.. Lydia?.." she says more to herself than to me.
I guess she knew her..

"She used to be so sweet when we were little.." she says quietly.
"Well shes a fucking bitch now so.." I trail off.
"Did she contact you?" She asks.
"Yeah.. she did." I nod.
"And?.."
I go on to explain that I hung up very quickly, but that I know that won't be the last I hear from her. She has this way of sneaking herself into peoples lives and refusing to leave. I got rid of her once, and I can get rid of her again if needed.
"Maybe I should talk to her?" She suggests.
"That's the worst idea." I say. "I've got this Lia."
Just as I say that, my phone starts to ring and I get a sick feeling in my stomach. That's her.. I just know it.
I grab my phone, looking at the screen. Yep.. it's her.
"Answer it." Lia says.
"I don't know.." I sigh.
"Just see what she wants."

"Hello?" I hold the phone to my ear nervously.
"Hey Tommy." Her squeaky voice says. God she's so fucking annoying.
"What do you want. Lydia?" I ask.
I really just want to get this over with. It's not good for me or Lia.
"I could get you out of this mess." She says.
Well that peaked my interest..
"How so?" I ask.
"I'm going to lunch at two? Come with me and we can chat."
"We can talk over the phone." I state.
"Come to lunch, and all legal issues go away. Don't come to lunch, and your name will be dragged through the mud. Your choice."
God fucking dammit..
"Fine. I'll be there." I sigh.
"I'll text you the name. See you later Tommy."
The call ends, and Lia waits anxiously for an explanation of the call.
"I'm going to lunch with her to get all of this dropped."

Lia stares at me with a blank face, and I really wish I could tell what she's thinking.. she's either going to be just fine with this, or she's going to be extremely pissed off. Please god let it be that she just doesn't care. I can't handle a hormonal angry Lia.
"You're kidding right?" She says.
Oh no..
"You better say you're joking."
"I'm not.." I say quietly.
"You mean to tell me you're going out to lunch with the girl you used to be desperately in love with that broke your heart?" She questions.
"She said she can get rid of this!" I defend myself.
"Fine. Whatever. Have fun." She mutters with irritation.
Does she not realize I don't want to do this as much as she doesn't want me to do this? Lydia shattered my heart. The last thing I want to do is sit down and eat lunch with the girl.

"I will see you in a bit my love." I say, but she ignores me.
Oh well.. she will get over it. Normally I wouldn't do anything to make her uncomfortable, but this is something that needs to be done. For both of us.. and for our careers. I grab my things, and head out to the restaurant.

•Lia's Pov•
I can't believe he actually just left me to go have lunch with his ex. What the actual fuck. I pull out my phone, and text my best friend who always said if Tom ever fucks up, he will take care of it. I need him to take care of this more than ever right now.
Lia: Haz. Tom is being an ass.
Haz: the fuck did he do? I won't hesitate to hurt him.
I giggle at the text. I love him.
Lia: he's at lunch with his ex girlfriend.
Haz: are you serious?! I'll talk to him.
I can always count on Haz to talk some sense into Tom. He's a lot more grounded.

I start to feel an overwhelming sickness wash over me, and I quickly jump up, running to the kitchen sink since it's the closest thing to me, and vomiting. Why? Oh yeah.. pregnancy. I try to catch my breath, but I feel more coming on. It's going to come any second. So this is what pregnancy is like.. It's not magical like everyone said it would be, in fact I've never felt so sick in my life. How did this come on so quickly? The vomit comes up again, and I desperately try to control it and get it to stop.

After my awful puking session comes to an end, I lay on the sofa with an uncomfortable sickly feeling in my stomach. I really wish my husband was here to hold me and tell me that I'm gonna make it through this pregnancy, but he's not. It is truly disappointing. I grab my phone, and call the person that I know can help.
"Hi Nikki." I say into the phone.
"Hello sweetie what's up?" She asks.
"Pregnancy sickness." I sigh. "I was hoping you would have some tips."
"You just relax and watch a movie or something, I'll be right over with everything you need."
Our call ends and I smile. I knew it would be hard going through my first pregnancy without my mum, but having the sweetest mother in law ever makes it a whole lot more bearable. I call out Tessa's name, and soon she is at my side. Tom may not be here to cuddle, but Tess is better anyways.

Some time passes, and the front door opens, revealing Nikki's warm smiling face. She has a bag in her hand, and sits down next to me to pull out all of the things.
"Okay so these are pregnancy pops, they will help settle the nausea." She says.
I instantly take one out, and pop it into my mouth.
"And this tea should be drank every single morning to help prevent it." She explains. Her eyes then wander the room, before landing on me. "Where is my son? He should be here taking care of you. I raised him better than this."

Part of me wants to tell on him to his mum, mostly just because I'm angry. I'm better than that though. Besides, I already told on him to Haz and I'm sure he will take care of it.
"He was here. He just had an emergent meeting with the lawyer." I lie.
___

The front door opens, and Tom walks in. I continue to look down at my phone, paying him no attention. I'm so mad at him. There's a million ways we could go about dealing with this situation, and he chose the wrong way.
"Hi baby." He says softly, sitting next to me and kissing my temple. I continue to ignore him, that is until he snatches my phone from my hands.
"Seriously?" I scoff.
"I got about thirty calls from Haz. I'm assuming you told on me." He says.
"Yeah because you're an ass." I state.
I go to stand up and get away from him, but he grabs my hand and pulls me down onto his lap.

"Stop it with the attitude please.. everything is taken care of. I am sorry I upset you. Okay?" He kisses my lips and holds me close to him.
I want to be angry at him, but I just really need his comfort right now. It's awful that even when he's the one who upsets me, he's the only one who can make it better.

The front door bursts open and I turn my head quickly to see Haz and Stassie walking in angrily.. oh no.
I get off Toms lap, and walk up to them.
"It's okay.." I try but Haz walks straight past me to see Tom.
"You fucking asshole what is wrong with you?!" He yells at him.
"Mate I needed to-"
"Fuck no. You never need to go out to lunch with your ex. If your wife says no, then it means fucking no. Understood?" Haz says.
"A little help here?" Tom looks to me.
"Nah I'm on Haz's side with this one." I giggle.
"You hurt my best friend, I will hurt you." Haz says. "And I've got a crazy ass fiancé who will join in."
"It's me, I'm the crazy ass fiancé." Stass says proudly.
"Alright Jesus Christ, it's fine now. We're fine." Tom says.
I really fucking love my friends. I know that no matter what happens, I will always be able to count on Haz and Stass. They've got my back.
