Hicks.

Olivia sat down opposite Alex, Casey and Eva who were all giggling. She rolled her eyes at her tipsy friends "you three are ridiculous."

"How are we ridiculous for wanting to set up a nursery for your babies?" Alex asked with a raised brow.

She shrugged "because you are all drunk, very drunk"

"That's because we are celebrating" Eva said with a giggle.

She narrowed her eyes at her friends "what are we celebrating exactly?"

"Haven't you heard?" Casey gasped, "Eva and Thomas are official... They are dating and he is flying in to see her."

Olivia's eyes widened, "what?! Eva that's great! Congratulations" she said before giving her a hug.

Eva blushed bashfully before smirking "I am going to get laid!!!"

Alex chuckled "here's to getting laid and having fun!"

Olivia raised her glass of water and laughed as they made a toast to sex. She was happy, having a girls day out was exactly what they needed, they had done the eating out and drinking and they still had to do some much needed shopping.

She smirked "we need to get going, the shopping centre is not going to be open all damn day."

"But I was enjoying getting fucked up" Eva pouted.

Alex rolled her eyes "come on kid, we can get fucked up later when mother dearest is all cuddled up with her man. For now, we've got a pregnant lady who needs to get clothes and things for the kiddos."

They stumbled out of the bar in a mess of laughter and playful bickering. Alex trailed behind the three women watching them talk animatedly about getting Eva all dolled up for her first official date after three years. She smiled as she watched them she was so excited about being around them, and she could hardly believe how much had changed over the years.

She went from sneaking around with Casey to being in a long distance relationship with her, it was all so crazy to her. She had been in love with Olivia for the longest time and she used to wish that the gorgeous brunette would notice her, but that never happened. Not while she was insane about her partner, so Alex opted for the next best option and got to know Casey, Olivia's other friend and they immediately clicked. They had this pull toward one another that she wished she had with Olivia, but alas, Olivia had her heart set on other things.

She then started sneaking around with Casey and it was thrilling, until Casey up and left without a warning and she was left torn. She not only lost Olivia but Casey too and it was the most painful experience of her life. Now they were all together again, with an extra member, Eva, who was an absolute sweetheart. She was bubbly and filled with life, something all of them lacked in New York, they were so job orientated that they forgot to live.

Olivia turned to Alex and gave her a small smile "you okay?"

She nodded "never been better"

"So Cas told me that she is moving to the city again... Are you excited?" she asked, falling in step with Alex.

Alex nodded "I am..." she bit her lip "I just miss you. Having my best friend out there was amazing... I actually wanted to move over here, Trevor and I have been speaking about the law firm and him opening up a firm over here."

Her face lit up "so Casey is planning to leave and you are wanting to stay... How is that going to work out?"

"I will speak to her about all of that later. I want our relationship to work out and I know we would do better if we were together, now I don't mean living together because that is a massive step, but like we would not need to fly in and out to see each other for a few days and then leave again for months." she shrugged as they walked over to the car.

"You looked stressed" she said with a raised eyebrow.

"I am" she admitted "this is a big step and I need to be sure it will work... So Trevor and I will be drawing up a bit of plans and Tommy is flying in next week to get it sorted out for us, also for your NY holiday house."

"Everything is piecing together well" she said with a smile.

"Yeah there are just a few details that need ironing over but we are getting there" she assured her friend before slipping into the back seat with Casey.

...

Olivia let out a soft laugh as Alex and Eva modelled about in various outfits while she and Casey sat back and watched them. She was sipping on some juice and snacking on some crisps, keeping herself occupied and also easing some of her cravings.

Aiden had been helping Sandy pick out a few outfits for clubbing events he had going on and immediately noticed the brunette haired woman that caught his attention ever since her arrival.

He walked over to her and smiled down at her "Julia, long time no see."

She turned to face him and gave him a tight smile "Hey Aiden, how are you doing?"

He looked down at her and gasped when he saw her bump standing out "you're pregnant?!"

"I am, eight months in to be exact" she smiled.

"wow, I didn't know. Congratulations" he said with a warm smile "do you know what it is yet?"

She shook her head "no, we decided not to find out."

"That's great. Mike must be excited" he said with a bitter sweet smile.

"He is, we both are excited, just one more month and they will be here."

A gasp dropped from him and his eyebrows knitted together in shock "they? Is it twins?"

She nodded "yes, we found out around Christmas time"

He nodded awkwardly, a sigh falling from his lips "Why did you guys keep it to yourselves? This is great news"

"We were shocked to say the least" she chuckled as she walked over to a dress rack and smirked as she saw a cute dress that would drive her husband insane "so we decided to keep it to ourselves and just bask in it. We have been in our home just enjoying this and learning more about what to expect when the little ones come and also preparing for them."

"You are glowing, you look amazing." he said with a warm smile.

Olivia gasped when she felt a strong kick and let out a chuckle "easy there kiddo" she said, running her hands over her bump gently "these kicks are getting worse with each day."

He shuffled nervously "do you mind?"

She shook her head before taking his hand and placing it against her bump, allowing him to feel the sharp kicks of the babies. She smirked as she watched him gasp and smile, he was surprised but in a good way.

Aiden removed his hand after a minute or two and smirked "Does it feel weird? Like having two humans inside of you"

"When you put it like that, it sounds weird, but no... It feels amazing, this is the best feeling ever. I love feeling them flutter around and kick, and as much as I want to see them both, I don't want the pregnancy to be over." she chuckled.

Eva walked over to the pair and raised a brow at Aiden "hey..."

He turned to her and gave her a small smile "hey Eva, how are you doing?"

"I am great, how are you?"

He shrugged "I'm shocked. Why didn't you tell me that Julia is pregnant?"

"It never came up" she shrugged "plus it's not like we see each other much."

He scratched the back of his neck nervously "well we have a few events coming up because we are expanding the club this year... And I would really like for you ladies would like to come by, if you want to though"

Olivia pursed her lips "Eva, Cas and Alex might pop in but I'm not exactly fit for partying at the moment, hell even walking is becoming an issue."

Eva forced a smile "I'll ask the girls about it and then we will let you know."

"Yeah thanks..." he said awkwardly "I have to get going, but uhm... Take care ladies, and I look forward to seeing you sometime. Julia all the best with the babies."

"Thanks Aiden" she smiled, watching him walk off.

Alex shook her head "That was the most awkward interaction I have ever seen in my life."

Olivia turned to her with a sigh "I feel like you are about to suggest something stupid."

"You are right... I say we go to the club" she said with a smirk.

Casey chuckled "I'm in"

Eva turned to Olivia and sighed "Liv?"

She shook her head "I have two humans inside of me, it is exhausting and going to the club will be too much for me right now" she ran her hand over her bump "my hormones are all over the place and I don't want to be in that place while I'm in this state. So you three can go and I will stay home with my husband where I feel safe."

"If you won't go then neither will -"

"You have to go" she cut her friend off "Eva, I will be okay, you go ahead and have fun with the ladies. Just please be careful too, you know how it goes over there."

Alex furrowed her brow "how does it go?"

"Just don't accept any drinks from Aiden, or don't accept his special, personalised drinks..." Eva explained.

Casey scoffed "is he the dick that drugged you?"

"Yeah..." she said with a sigh "but he had been trying to get with me for a few weeks before then..."

"Well then why aren't you going, just to show him something he will never have" Alex smirked "tease him a bit. It'll be fun, rub it in his face that he will never get to be with you."

Olivia let out a laugh, shaking her head "that's the crap we did when we were teenagers."

"and was it fun?" she raised a brow.

"it was so much fun, I loved doing it" she laughed out loud.

...

Trevor turned to his wife and furrowed his brows "why aren't we going clubbing again?"

Olivia shrugged as she walked up to him "Because I'm tired, carrying them is exhausting and my ankles are swollen."

He smirked "I could always give you a massage?"

"that would be lovely" she said, biting down on her lower lip as she laid down on their bed.

Trevor moved over and squirted some of her massage oils into his hands before moving onto the bed, he took hold of her swollen feet and gently began massaging them, feeling the tension leave her.

Olivia closed her eyes and let out a contented sigh "that feels amazing..."

He chuckled, finishing up both of her feet before taking hold of the stretch mark cream and gently rubbing it on her bump. His hands trailed slowly over her stretched skin, he was still in awe of her bump and the way her body had changed to house their babies.

"You have no idea how beautiful you are right now, you are so gorgeous right now, just lying here and keeping our babies safe." he pressed a soft kiss to her bump "I love you so much"

She reached down and ran her hand through his hair "I love you too, more than I ever thought possible."

He moved up and pressed a number of soft kisses to her lips, his hand still caressing her bump slowly.

After a few minutes she broke their kiss and moved to sit up "my back has been throbbing all day... This pain just keeps worsening, I need to stand up a bit."

"let me help you" he smiled softly, walking around to her side of the bed and gently helping her stand "you're a week away from your due date, are you sure you are okay?"

She nodded "yeah, can you get me some water or something please... I just need to stay like this for a bit, it's easing the pain"

He kissed the side of her head "okay I'll be right back, don't do anything and stay right there."

"It's like I can run anywhere right, I'm in too much damn pain" she scoffed.

Trevor let out a breath and raised his hands in surrender "I was joking babe, but I'll go get that water now."

"Thanks" she groaned out "Trev?"

He stopped at the bedroom door "yeah?"

"I think we need to get to hospital..." she whispered.

He furrowed his brow "why, are you feeling any pain?"

She looked down at let out a groan "no... But uhm... My water just broke."
