[Without you] /Lippa/

Lunch and Callbacks

It was the next day. Lin woke up first, as usual. He looked down on Phillipa who was sleeping in his arms, next to him. He was such a lucky guy to have her in his life, he thought to himself. What would he only do without her? He couldn't answer this because he simply couldn't imagine a life without her anymore. They'd have their own little family soon, which was still insane to Lin. He then slowly got away from Pippa and scooped down on the bed until his face was right above Phillipa's belly.

"Hello my two little Hamilbabies." Lin whispered gently, trying not to wake Pippa up, while he placed one hand on her stomach. He immediately felt a kick against his hand, which made him chuckle. "Shhh, Mommy's still sleeping so you better not wake her up." He whispered, which was followed by an another kick. "You two still need to learn to listen to me." He chuckled. "Good Morning." He suddenly heard a soft voice. Phillipa was looking down on Lin, who talked with her stomach. "Oh Morning, I didn't mean to wake you up and the twins didn't listen to me and kept kicking." He explained giggling, which made Pips also giggle. "It's alright, don't worry."

"And how are you feeling today?" Lin asked more worried than he wanted to ask. "I'm scared of the results. But I'm fine, just a bit tired of all the stress." Lin scooped up again so he was face to face to Phillipa. "You can stay in bed today. I'm taking Sebastian to my parents and I'll bring you the food to the bed." Lin suggested, trying to help her. "No it's fine, I can't lie in this bed all day. I'm just taking it slow today." At this moment, Pippas phone on her bedside table vibrated. She took her phone and saw that Jasmine wrote something into the group chat Pippa had with Renée and Jazzy. 

The schuyler sisters ❤️💙💛

J: Any plans for today?

R: No, besides doing the
show tonight, I'm free.

You're really asking
if I've got plans?

J: Idk... but I wanted to ask
if we can have lunch
together at around 1pm?

R: Sure, why not. We haven't
had one in such a long time :)

I'd love to. We'll meet
up at the usual?

J: Yes, TTYL!

Pippa took her phone down and smiled about her sisters. "Why are you smiling?" Lin asked curious, since he was watching Pippa the whole time, she was on her phone. "I'm gonna meet up with Renée and Jazzy for Lunch, I hope that's fine with you." She said and Lin immediately nodded. He knew what kind of special bond these three had and he understood that it's been a while since they were spending time together. "Sure! As long as it isn't too overwhelming or stressful for you and you're feeling good it's fine." He said as he kissed her temple.

The morning passed and it was finally lunchtime. Pippa wore a beautiful flower dress which was hugging her belly beautifully. She went to the usual restaurant, her, Jasmine and Renée used to have lunch together. As she was entering the restaurant she already saw Renée and Jasmine sitting at a table in the corner. She immediately went to them and got into a hug by each of them. "Hey Pips." Jasmine smiled. "Is it possible you're growing constantly?" Renée asked and was looking at Phillipas stomach. "I really feel like I'm growing every day and it just won't stop." Phillipa explained laughing, before they sat together at the table. Pippa ordered something to drink, since Renée and Jasmine already had something, then they started to talk.

"We haven't had this in such a long time." Phillipa smiled. "Yeah I missed it. We miss you insanely in the theatre, you have no idea." Renée said, while Jasmine seemed to be a bit off for a moment. "Jasmine?" Pippa asked a bit worried. Jasmine suddenly looked at her friend, as she called her name. "Are you fine?" "Yeah don't worry." Jasmine said then with a smile. "Actually I asked to have this lunch because I wanted to tell you some news." Jasmine said then with a smirk, before taking a sip from her diet coke. "Oh my god, you're pregnant." Renée guessed very excited, but Jasmine immediately disagreed with it. "No." "Spit it out, Jasmine." Pippa exclaimed then as excited as Renée was.

"Ant and me will move in together." She said excited. All three of them suddenly exclaimed an exciting squeak. "Oh my god, I'm so happy for you two." Renée said and Pippa agreed. "Me too." At this moment, Phillipa felt a strong kick from one of the babies, which reminded her immediately about the results she was awaiting and all the worries she got from this test. Meanwhile Jasmine continued to talk about her moving plans. "We were planning this already for a few months but never found the right apartment but we just did and-"

"Pippa are you fine?" Renée interrupted Jasmine, because she noticed how Phillipas smile slowly faded and her hand was rubbing her bump gently. Meanwhile Jasmine who just got interrupted was rolling her eyes unintentionally, which stayed gladly unnoticed by her friends. She truly loved Pippa with all her heart but since everything went down with Lin, Pippa always got the most attention and Jasmine got slowly tired of it. This was her moment to share her news and Pippa had to take it away from her.

"I'm fine, Renée. Don't worry. I'm just waiting for some test results of the doctor, because they're not sure if the babies are doing okay so far. I'm scared of the results." Pippa explained it in a short version while tears were threatening to fall again. "I'm sure the babies are doing well. They're Miranda-Soo babies after all, so they're very strong." Renée said with a slight smile on her mouth while Jasmine just sat next to her and nodded in agreement. "Thank you two." Pippa said with a smile. It was a short silence, until Phillipa spoke again.

"Anyways Jazzy, when are you and Anthony moving in together?" She tried to change the topic but Jasmine wasn't in the mood to talk anymore. "Forget about it. I'm not hungry anymore. I should leave." She said suddenly. Both Renée and Pippa were really confused about her reaction. "What do you mean?" Renée asked. "I'm just not in the mood to talk anymore." Jasmine said while she stood up from the table. "See ya later." She said to Renée before she left the restaurant.

After Jasmine left, Renée and Phillipa looked at each other in confusion. "Do you know what's going on with her?" Pippa asked worried. "I don't know. She's acting completely normal in the theatre so I've got no idea." Renée shrugged. They both spent the rest of their lunch together and tried to enjoy it as much as they could, since without Jasmine it wasn't as fun.

The lunch ended around 3pm as Renée also had to go to the theatre again. Pippa went home just to see Lin already getting dressed to go to the theatre too. She hated the fact that Lin and all of her friends had to work this much, meanwhile she was sitting bored alone at home. Of course she could go with Lin again but then she would get reminded by the fact that she's not doing the show anymore.

"Hey Pips, you're back." Lin noticed as he was putting on his shoes. "Yeah." She only said softly meanwhile she took her shoes off. "What's wrong?" He asked as he noticed her unusual short answer and looked at her worried. "Jasmine made some trouble but it's gonna be fine. Or at least I hope so." At this moment Pippas cellphone rang and she took it out of her pocket. "It's the doctor's office." She said fearfully looking at Lin. He also looked scared at her but immediately went to her and started to hold her hand. Pippa then took the call.

"Hello, you're talking with Phillipa Soo." She answered the phone. "Hey Miss Soo, here's doctor Mitchel, i just wanted to inform you that we got your blood test results today. The stress gladly didn't affect the health of the babies yet. What we noticed that there are some irregularities of some of your body values, which we should keep an eye on. I wouldn't tend to treat it with medication yet, since it isn't as bad as we thought it would be. Just try to relax more throughout the next couple of months and you and your babies will be fine." As the doctor finished talking Phillipa couldn't stop herself from smiling. She thanked the doctor for the information and then said goodbye to him. As she hung up the phone, she was looking at a slightly nervous and confused Lin, who was still holding her hand.

"Everything's fine so far." She stated with a huge smile on her face. Lin immediately breathed out in relief. "Thank god you and our babies fine." He said as he placed one hand on her bump. "But I really need to go now, since I don't want to miss a show." "Sure." She said with a slowly fading smile. Lin immediately saw the sadness inside of her, that he had to work again. "Hey, don't be sad. I'll be back before you know I'm gone."

"That's what Hamilton said too, before he got shot." Phillipa said sarcastically with a smile, which made Lin giggle. "Don't worry, I'm trying not to duel myself with Steven at dawn." That comment immediately made Pippas smile fade away. Lin noticed this and immediately regretted saying it. "Sorry Pips, I didn't mean to remind you." "It's fine, Lin. Also you have to go now." She reminded him. "Love you." Lin gave her a kiss on her cheek and then left the house.
