Sorry it's been a while since I've updated, and I am also sorry that this chapter is so short. It's filler so it's not very good. I'm thinking I'm going to be skipping another big chunk for the next chapter. Enjoy...

Maya's POV
I am officially too fat for every non maternity thing I own. Cam had to dig through the attic to find all of my clothes from when I was pregnant with Lexi. Tori's shower got postponed due to the fact that she had the baby the day before the shower was scheduled. It was probably the best Valentine's Day present ever.
Tristan called me to go with him to visit her in the hospital the day the shower was supposed to be and I of course I agreed. He picked me up and I surprised him with the news that I am expecting.
"Holy cow, when did this happen?" he asks gesturing to my stomach as I get into the car with him.
"Um… I'm 17 weeks along so this happened like 15 weeks ago…" I say laughing as I look down at my belly.
"Why didn't you tell me, sweetie?" I love knowing things." He asks curiously. "I don't know. I didn't want to take away from Tori's baby excitement. I would have told you and her before the shower, but hey since it got moved I figured I would surprise you.
"Oh… I guess that makes sense. So Maya, how is everything going?" he asks curiously making conversation.
"Pretty good, Lexi only has a couple rounds of chemo left, and this little guy should be arriving sometime in July." I say with a smile.
"Okay… That is a lot of information in one sentence. Chemo?" he asks surprised and I realize that I never told him about Lexi having cancer. It didn't come up the other day, and before then the last time I talked to him was right before we found out.
"Oh… I guess I never told you. She was diagnosed with Leukemia in November." I tell him with a slight awkward frown and his jaw drops.
"Oh my god! Why didn't you call?" he asks me concerned.
"Tristan, we aren't exactly close anymore." I mention as if it should be obvious that he is not the person that I would call in situations like this.
"I would like to be close like we used to be. Besties for life!" he says with a smile. I laugh slightly remembering our vow to each other in high school.
"So, is she alright?" he asks raising his eyebrow. "Yeah… She's in remission. They are just giving her a few more rounds to make sure it doesn't come back." I add awkwardly.
"Well, that's good. I would love to meet her sometime." He tells me smiling happily.
"And, did you say little guy?" he questions curiously looking at my stomach.
"Yeah… we found out last week that we're having a boy. Cam is so excited. It's adorable." I add enthusiastically.
"Exciting!" He mentions turning the car into the hospital parking garage.
Once in the maternity wing we ask where Tori is, and the woman points down a corridor telling us she is in room 204.
Tristan knocks on the door, and we hear Tori inside saying "come in"
Tristan walks into the room with me following behind a smile on both of our faces.
"Hi guys!" she grins from the hospital bed where she is holding a pink bundle.
"Oh Tori, she's beautiful." Tristan tells her peeking over her shoulder at the small baby.
"She is. I see a future pageant queen." She says lifting her up slightly letting Tris get a better look at her.
"What's her name?" I ask the girl curiously. "Robyn Lynette Bowen" she tells us happily admiring her baby.
It's kind of insane to me. She just went through the most traumatic thing a woman's body can go through, and she still looks flawless. Some people get all of the luck.
"Do you want to hold her Tris?" she asks him nicely.
"Definitely" he says giddily. "Okay, just go sanitize your hands and you can hold her. He quickly walks behind me to the sanitizer dispenser and Tori looks at me for a moment before her eyes grow wide.
"Maya, are you pregnant?" she asks me with a shocked look on her face. I nod quickly and she smiles at me. "Oh my goodness, our children can grow up together!" she says happily, and I shrug my shoulders. "I guess so."
"Were you pregnant when I saw you a couple months ago?" she asks curiously.
"Not at that point, later that week, but not then." I add giggling.
"Ooh… Gettin busy!" Tristan comments nudging me in the arm with his elbow before collecting the small baby from Tori.
I bite my lip awkwardly and Tori gives me an excited look. "Our kids are going to be the same age!"
"I guess so." I smile not nearly as excited as she is. "Do you know if it's a boy or a girl yet?"
"Yes… he's a boy." I mention rubbing my belly.
Just then a man walks in the room and looks at me curiously.
"Oh honey, this is Maya. I went to school with her when I lived here. We were like best friends when she wasn't kissing my boyfriend!"Tori tell the man with a laugh, and I am surprised that she even brought that up.
My eyes go wide as he looks at me with a suspicious frown. I feel mortified as Tori continues to introduce us."Maya, this is my husband, Kyle." she smiles happily as he continues to give me a harsh stare.
"Nice to meet you" I wave to the brown haired 30 something. "You didn't tell me you had people coming." He tells Tori raising an eyebrow at her.
"I didn't know they were coming. It was a surprise." "Hey Kyle" Tristan greets looking up from the baby in his arms just long enough to make eye contact with him.
"Hi Tristan… It's nice to meet you too." He adds looking at me.
We leave the hospital quickly after Tristan is done holding the baby, and in the elevator ride down I turn to Tristan. "Why would Tori introduce me to her husband by saying I kissed her boyfriend?"
"I'm not sure, but it's not like she was lying. You did kiss him." He adds like it shouldn't be a problem.
"He looked at me like I was a terrible person." I groan with a frown.
"That's how he looks at everyone. I hate him!" Tristan adds aggressively.
"Oh… I still don't want to remember that." I say sadly.
"Well, it's not like it's a big deal. Who cares what Kyle thinks of you? He's kind of an ass." Tristan says sarcastically.
"Why do you hate him so much?" I ask him curiously.
"Well, he's just so protective, he's way too old for Tori, and his personality is just fugly." He utters out annoyed causing me to giggle at his use of the word fugly.
"Oh… How old is he?" I ask thinking that he didn't look like he was too old for her.
"46." He comments harshly, and my eyes go wide. "He doesn't look that old."
"I know, but he is." He says shaking his head as we walk back into the parking garage.
"So, Robyn is really cute." I announce trying to change the mood a little.
"She is. She looks just like Tori." He smiles getting in the car.
"So Tris, how would you like to meet Lexi now?" I ask him inquiringly as we pull on to my street.
"Are you kidding? I would love to. Can I?" he asks with an excited smile.
"I don't see why not. I'm pretty sure the house isn't too much of a mess, and she loves having company… You're not sick or anything so I think it's safe." I say smiling at the man who used to be my best friend.
He smiles widely, and I add "She doesn't have hair because of the chemo, but she gets really sad if you say anything about it so don't."
"Of course not." He tells me pulling in front of my house and turning the car off.
As we walk in I hear Lexi yelling "Mommy, save me from the tickle monster!" as she runs from the living room into the foyer.
She stops at the entry way realizing that I am not alone and Cam comes up behind her picking her up with a loud roar. "I got you!" Cam laughs tickling the little girl and causing her to squirm in his arms.
"Cam, not so rough" I scold him signaling for him to put her down.
He glances at Tristan and raises an eyebrow at him. "Tristan?" he asks obviously having trouble recognizing him.
"The one and only!" Tristan says humorously waving to Cam.
"How've you been, man? Cam asks Tristan happily.
"I've been great. He responds shaking Cam's hand. "I came to meet your kid." Tristan adds glancing at the small girl hiding behind Cam's leg.
"Lexi, this is Tristan. He's mommy and daddy's friend from high school. Will you say hi?" Cam asks the small girl nudging her toward the bleach blonde haired man.
"Hi" she says shyly to Tristan. He kneels down to her level to shake her hand and she seems to smile at the gesture.
"You are just the cutest thing I've ever seen." He tells her sincerely. She grins at him genuinely, and I look at her expectantly. "What do you say, Lexi?"
"Thank you." She says to Tristan.
Tris stays over for about an hour catching up with us more and getting to know Lexi. I realize that Tristan is still the same as he has always been, and I am very much going to try to become better friends with him again. I have missed his wit and his sass the past few years, and he is surprisingly very good with kids.
And Tristan is back in their lives! I hope you liked it. I know it wasn't my best. Please review and what not. Thanks!
