Chapter 22

"Oh shit. Cat?" I said getting up and holding my sister's hand as the nurses scrambled around the room. One found the paper that smells like nastiness while the other put an ice pack behind her neck. Soon enough she groggily opened her eyes and sipped on a juice box.

"What happened?" Catherine asked.

"Well, you passed out when they told you that you were having twins…" I trailed off.

"TWINS? WHAT THE FUCK YOU MEAN TWINS?" She yelled dropping the juice onto the ground.

"You, my dear, are carrying not one, but two babies in that belly of yours." I continued rubbing her belly.

"Oh hell no." Tears welled in her eyes as she buried her face in her hands. I got out of my seat and held her.

"We'll leave you two alone…" The one nurse said with the other walking out behind her.

"It's going to be okay. Two is better than one, remember?"

"NOT WHEN IT COMES TO KIDS! I'm alone Zoe! I don't even know their father's name damnit!" She sobbed.

"You aren't alone. You have Xena, Raven, me, hell you have everyone on the Rez. We grew up there babe, I'm SURE we'll have their support. You can do this. WE can do this. Now, get off your pregnant ass, put your pants on and let's go. We have a ton of shit to go buy and decide. Kay?"

"Kay." She sighed sliding off the table and onto her feet. Gathering her things, we thanked the doctors and left.

"Oh my fucking god." Catherine gawked at the price tag of a very pricey crib at Babies-R-Us.

"How the hell am I going to afford this? Especially times two?" She continued.

"Um, get a job? Find the father and tell him?" I said sarcastically.

"I tried that but no dice and the father is…M.I.A."

"Then the babies could chill in the same crib for a little until we can afford another. OMG look at these little outfits! They are so cute!" I cooed.

"They are cute…but I can't afford it." She said sadly.

"How many time do I have to tell you that we can do this. We just wait to buy this stuff and cut back on a few things. I'll uh…go back to work. You can watch Billy while I work and then when I get off I can go there and take you home." I said putting the onesies back on the shelf.

"Zoe, that's crazy. You can't just support me and my babies." Catherine said rubbing her stomach.

"Hey, hey. Those little sea-monkies growing in your belly are my nieces or nephews or both. I'm going to do whatever I can to make sure they are happy and healthy." I smiled.

"Thanks sis." Cat smiled as she pulled me into a hug.

"You're welcome. So so far on the list we have a crib, double the diapers, onesies, bottles, wipes, blankies, pacifiers….oh lawd. Well…we can deal with this later. We have to go back to Em's before we go home so I can grab my stuff." I'm going to be one broke aunt.

When we got back, I noticed that no one was there, not even Em which is strange because I feel like the chick never leaves this place. I told Cat to wait in the car while I went inside and grabbed my things. As I was walking back out, I noticed a very familiar group of shirtless men walking out of the forest towards the house. Shit.

"Hey Zoe!" Seth shouted with that usual smile on his face turning the attention of the group to me.

"Um…" I said looking down before Jake picked me up and kissed me.

"Why do you have your bag?" Jake asked confused.

"Um…I'm going home." I said shyly.

"…Why?" He swallowed.

"Well…turns out, Catherine is having twins."

"That's crazy but why does that mean you have to go with her?"

"Because…I need to go back to work."

"What about my dad?"

"Cat is gonna stay there when I'm at work and then I'll be there at night to keep him company."

"Why do you even need a job anyway? Where is the babies' father?"

"Look, I promised Catherine that I would be there and help her through this and that means I need to go back to the diner and get my job back so we can pay for the things we'll need. Hell, I might even need two jobs which means that I won't…"

"Have time for us." He said pulling back his arms.

"No Jake, it's not like that."

"That's exactly how it is. I swear, you're just finding reasons to leave now, aren't ya?" He scoffed before he walked off.

"Ugh, whatever. Let's go. Bye guys." I waved before climbing into the driver seat and pulling out of the driveway.

When we got home, it seemed as if no one was home but as soon as we walked through the door, I was glomped by Xena.

"Damn girl! Where have you been?! I thought you were dead, or even worse, ran off with Jake and got hitched."

"I'm alive and well…not married. Trust me, hopefully neither is happening for a very long time. Now, we have to talk about Cat's situation…"

*Five minutes later…"

"TWINS? AW FUCK. DAMN GIRL." Z exclaimed.

"Yeah yeah. I know." Catherine scoffed.

"Well, your plan sounds good but don't you think you're stretching yourself too thin? What about Jake? What about school?"

"Jake…he'll be okay. He'll see me if he really wants to and school isn't for another month and a half so I'll just work really crazy hours until then."

"Alright…until then, let's party! Let's not get too crazy though…we don't need another preggo in the house."

"Bitch." Cat glared.

"Love you too." Z said kissed her cheek and then going to the liquor cabinet for her and I.

"That is absolutely the last time I am ever drinking with you." I said gripping the toilet bowl.

"Yeah, yeah. Shut up. You know you had fun." Xena said splashing cold water on her face.

"I did." I laughed before another burst of chunks flew into the porcelain god. As I was wiping my mouth, there was a knocking on the door.

"Hey, Jake's on the phone. Ew, are you puking?" Catherine said with my cell in her hand.

"Yes I am now hand me the phone." I said reaching for it.

"Hello?"

"Hey babe…you okay?" Jake's husky voice said into the phone.

"Yeah, I'm fine."

"Are ya sick?"

"Nope, just a little hungover."

"Wow. You sure are being 'responsible'. I'm glad to know that you'd rather be spending your time getting wasted and puking every five minutes."

"Don't you dare start with that shit. Okay? What I do is none of your business. I don't have to explain anything to you. You don't own me so I will do what I want, with who I want and you are just going to have to deal or leave." And with that, he hung up.

"Trouble in paradise?"

"It's just getting annoying nowadays. He's so possessive and he makes me feel bad for the stupidest shit. We fight more than we actually spend time together."

"End it?"

"Can't change fate babe, no matter how much I want to."

"How do you know its fate?"

"It's instinct I guess. Oh well. Hopefully things will get better soon."

"I hope so. Come on, let's go get some seltzer then see Rick about your job."

"But I don't wanna." I whined.

"Too bad. Let's go barf brains." Xena said holding her hand out.

To no surprise, I got my job back, plus a few more hours thanks to Rick who welcomed me back with open arms but what I didn't know was that I also got a new coworker…

Things are about to get even more interesting around here. Well fuck me.
