Working through it

I woke up, I didn't realize that I had fallen asleep, I looked around the room and saw that Beau had fallen asleep too, and Emmie was still asleep, I saw Beau's alarm clock on his bedside table: 7:05 P.M. It read, I leaned over Emmie and woke beau up, he would stir for a second then fall asleep again,
"Beau" I whispered
Nothing
"Beau" I whispered a little louder
He looked around and sat up
"What's wrong?" He said in a panic
"Nothings wrong beau, it's seven o'clock though, you need to get up," I told him
"I fell asleep?" He asked
"Yes, all of us did," I told him
I leaned down and started to wake Emmie up
"Emmie, sweetie it's time to wake up," I told her rubbing her arm, she stirred and groaned
"Come on Emmie, if you don't get up you won't sleep tonight," I told her,
She flipped to lay on her back and stretched out like a starfish
"Morning sleepyhead," I told her as I poked her sides making her giggle
I looked up to see Beau leaning against the bathroom doorframe smiling at me and Emmie, I smiled back
"Alright, now that everyone's had a nap, what are we going to do now?" Beau asked
I looked at Emmie and smiled at her, I leaned down and whispered an idea into her ear, and she sat up and smirked evilly at Beau
"Do I even want to know what you just told her?" He asked
"Probably not," I told him honestly
A trip to the bathroom cabinet later, and we were all sitting on the bed, Emmie was sitting in front of Beau and I was sitting next to her, she was smiling from ear to ear
"Did we really have to do this?" Beau asked
"Yep, you're going to have a little girl so you better get used to it," I told him as Emmie used one of my makeup brushes to put glittery eyeshadow on Beau's eyes, I was smiling the entire time, seeing beau letting his little sister do his makeup without(many) complaints was just too sweet, it gave me butterflies, once Emmie was done she held the mirror up to beau so he could see her masterpiece
"You look amazing beau," I told him with a snicker
"Now I'm almost regretting not putting a con—" he started to say but I shook my head at him and darted my eyes between him and Emmie
"You're regretting what bee?" Emmie asked
"Um," he said looking at me for help
I smiled at him and mouthed "You got this" to him
"I was regretting not filling a special balloon up for Estella a few months ago," he said
I looked away and snickered at him again
"Almost four months ago to be exact Beau," I said teasingly
"I'm glad you forgot the balloon," I added putting a hand over my stomach
Emmie looked at Beau and then at me
"What kind of balloon was it?" She asked innocently
"A um—well it was a—It was kinda" Beau stuttered
"An animal balloon, it was an animal balloon," I told her
Flashbacks from the night the babies were most likely conceived came flooding back, I smiled a goofy smile remembering what happened that night
"What are you smiling about over there?" Beau asked
"Um, the night you forgot to fill the "balloon" everything that happened that day..." I told him
"What happened?" Emmie asked
"Um—" beau said nervously
"What happened was, we were having a "party" for the babies and Beau made me sing a weird "song", now I can't remember the words though," I told her so she hopefully wouldn't ask any more questions
And besides screaming Beau's name and a few other choice words, almost sounded like singing but telling a twelve or thirteen-year-old that information seemed a little inappropriate,
I leaned over to Emmie's ear and whispered "Why don't you go look in the pantry for a snack"
She smiled at me hopped off the bed and ran out of the room
"A balloon? That was an awesome analogy" I told Beau as I started to clean up the makeup
"Okay, but where did you pull "party" and "singing a weird song" because I don't think screaming my name is considered a song to people other than me," he said
I chuckled at him
"Probably not, but it'll always be our special song," I told him as I kissed his cheek which was red from makeup
"Always," he said grabbing my waist and pulling me in for a kiss, he pressed his lips to mine, I tried to make myself pull away but I couldn't help it, he started kissing down my neck, I was breathless
"Beau we need to stop before Emmie comes back," I told him in between breaths
I didn't necessarily want him to stop, but there was a little girl in the house and I did not feel like traumatizing a little girl
"Come on, we have a minute before she comes back," he said against my neck, I leaned my head back and laced my hands in his hair
"Beau I'm not going to traumatize your sister," I told him between breaths
At this point I was straddling him, I heard the doorknob start to wiggle, I hurriedly moved off his lap, we both looked up at Emmie at the same time, she raised her eyebrow at us
"What's wrong?" She asked
"We didn't know you were there, you scared us," I told her giving her a warm smile
"Okay," she said as she walked over to the bed
She got up on the bed and sat next to Beau
"What'd you find to snack on Emmie?" I asked her
She held up a little snack-size bag of chips
"Salt and vinegar chips," she said
I got a whiff of the vinegar and it was over, I cupped my hand over my mouth and ran to the bathroom, I pulled my hair back with one hand and held myself over the toilet with the other
"Are you okay love?" I heard beau ask as he walked up beside me
"Mhm" I groaned
"I'm sorry Ella, I didn't mean to make you sick" I heard Emmie say
"It's okay Emmie, you didn't do it," I told her
After about 20 minutes of sitting on the cool bathroom floor, I finally felt better, I went back to sit on the bed, I picked up my phone to see that I had a text from my mom
Mom:"Is it okay if Dad and I come visit tomorrow?"
Estella:"Of course mom"
Mom:"Okay, we'll be over around 12, is that okay?"
Estella:"Yeah that's fine"
Mom:"Okay we'll see you tomorrow"
Beau came into the bedroom with a glass of water
"Thank you," I told him as he handed me the water
"You're welcome love," he told me
"Do you and Emmie want to help me panic clean?" I asked sarcastically
"Why are you panic cleaning?" Beau asked
"Mom just texted and asked if she and Dad could come over tomorrow," I told beau
"Alright but why are you panic cleaning," he asked
"Because Mom said they'd be here by noon," I told him
He checked the time on his watch: 8:30 pm
"Love it's almost nine o'clock at night, you don't need to be up all night cleaning," he told me
"I know but, I have to make sure the house is at least cleaned up," I told him
"But you need to get all the sleep you can right now," he said
"Okay, just let me clean up the living room," I told him as I tried to get up but he made me sit back down
"I'll get the living room and the kitchen," he said
While Beau cleaned up the living room and kitchen me and Emmie sat in the bedroom looking at baby stuff, but I also felt bad because I couldn't help Beau, or rather Beau wouldn't let me help him,
"What's that?" Emmie asked pointing to something on my phone
"Um that's an um," I said trying to look at what it was
"Do you know what it is?" She asked
"Yeah it's a um, it's a um, oh! It's a labor ball" I said
"Huh?" Emmie said
"It's for when you're about to have a baby, you bounce on it" I explained to her
"Oohh," she said
My Walmart shopping cart had over 50 items in it, which consisted of onesies, pacifiers, baby bottles, a breast pump(even though I didn't know if I was going to breastfeed) baby socks and mittens, and hats, burp cloths, etc,
"What about that?" Emmie asked
"That's a nose sucker?" I said
That was a confusing little thing, it looked like a bouncy ball with a pipe coming out of the bottom, I looked at what it was for and it made more sense, it was to suck snot out of the baby's nose, now the name makes sense, believe it or not, Emmie was actually a big help with baby stuff, she helped pick out a diaper bag and baby blankets and clothes, wait would we need two diaper bags or would one be enough? Good thing my mom is coming over tomorrow, I need some serious help with this kind of stuff, beau came back in the bedroom, he had the sleeves of his short sleeve shirt rolled up to his shoulders and looked like he was sweating,
"Are you okay love?" I asked him
He nodded his head
"It's just extremely hot," he said
"Well that might be my fault," I said smirking at him
"How so?" He asked
"I was cold so I turned the temperature up," I told him
"That would be it," he said
"Sorry love," I said
"It's okay, I'm just gonna go take a shower," he said pointing his thumb to the bathroom door
"Okay love," I told him
Me and Emmie continued to look at baby stuff, eventually, I checked the time: 11:30 P.M.
"Jeez," I said under my breath
I looked over and Emmie had passed out next to me, beau came out of the bathroom in his gray sweatpants and a white tank top, you could see where water had dripped onto his shirt making it a little see through, I pushed myself up so that I was sitting against the headboard of the bed and gave beau a tiny smile
"What's wrong baby?" He asked
"Nothing just come lay down, I didn't realize how late it was," I told him
"Liar, something is wrong I know it, what's wrong?" He asked again
"Nothing!" I squeaked
"Estella Williams," he said
"Nothing is wrong Beau, just please come lay down," I told him
"Estella I'm going to ask you again and if you don't tell me I'll call ember," he said
"What is wrong" he added
"Ugh fine, there's just so much I don't know," I told him
"Like what?" He asked
"Like are we going to need two diaper bags or just one? Do I want to Breastfeed them and what if I do breastfeed them what if I don't have enough for both of them?" I said holding back tears(damn hormones) He finally come and sat on the bed in front of me facing me
"First, I'm pretty sure we only need one diaper bag, second, you don't have to breastfeed them and if you do I'm sure you'll have enough for both of them," he told me
"But what if I don't?" I asked sniffling
Beau pulled me into a hug and rubbed his hand in circles on my back
"It's okay, nothing is going to be perfect love, we just have to work through it, together," he said
"But there's still so much we haven't thought about too," I told Beau
He pulled away from me to look into my eyes
"Estella, we still have five months," he told me
"I know," I said
"We will get everything worked out love," he said
