80-No More Chinese

**Saviera's POV**
**Two months later**

After Ethan warned Daveed about Damian, he disappeared and we didn't see or hear from him again except for a long letter that was recently left on Daveed's desk in his classroom.

*Daveed, Saviera, and Zuri,
You can be at ease now. I have been keeping an eye on you and monitoring those around you. There's a part of me that felt like I owed it to you and your children to ensure no more harm will come from my family. My work here is finished, but now I'm going head first into another war. I did not kill that correctional officer; Bennett Ray was my childhood best friend. He was the one who helped me escape, but another officer figured out our plan. I knew Damien was going to go after you, but I had no proof. I could just feel it in my chest.
Officer Jeremy Black murdered officer Bennett Ray and framed me for it. I have no way of accessing the footage to prove my innocence, so I'm reaching out with this one request: help me get this footage exposed. I will always be in your debt, but I need you guys to help me one last time. I won't be turning myself in and this is the last time you will hear from me. I just want Bennett to rest and make sure his true killer is charged with his death. If this is too much to ask of you, I understand.
Thank you, Saviera, for helping a douche like me during my trial.
Until next time (or not),
Ethan*

"What are we supposed to do about this?" Zuri asked.
"Maybe Scarlett can help us with it. It will also cover our asses so that people don't think we know of his whereabouts." Daveed responded and we agree.

--------

We took the letter to Scarlett and she said she could take care of the issue easily; she wasn't lying. Within a week, she had the actual footage of officer Jeremy Black killing his coworker and she represented Bennett's family to take action against him. Ethan is still out there hiding somewhere and I'm kind of glad he's free. He didn't even deserve the four years they gave him.
Daveed and I have been working out every day. Actual exercise, not only sex. I look and feel so much better about my body, but I still want another baby. I can't believe we haven't conceived yet considering how often we try. Maybe the fact that we're trying is the problem.

**April fifth**

"Let's get Chinese. We haven't had that in over two months. I'm dying for it." Zuri nearly whines. I cut back on ordering delivery and fast food. I couldn't continue to eat the way I did before I had Jilly because my metabolism isn't what it used to be. Zuri snapped right back to her petite size, and you can't even tell she had twins. Her butt is bigger, thighs thicker, and boobs are fuller, but her stomach is flat. She's so perfect. I can't keep my hands off of her. She works out with Daveed and me most of the time, and the sexual tension is always a pleasant distraction. Thank goodness our babies sleep a lot still.
"I guess we can have a cheat day. I'll just work out on my rest day," Who needs a day to rest anyway?
"No, you still need to take a day to rest, babe. One day isn't going to make you gain weight." Zuri says.
"We'll see about that." I feel like I get bigger when I simply look at food.
The food arrives, and Daveed carries it into the kitchen while Zuri and I grab plates. As soon as the smell of the food hits my nose, my stomach turns. I couldn't even make it to the bathroom before getting sick. I know this feeling all too well.
"Yes! I knew it!" Daveed yells. He kept telling me I was pregnant all week because apparently I have been extra moody, and my appetite is off. Now he's celebrating while coming towards me, and Zuri is laughing hysterically. "Don't worry. I'll clean this all up."
He helps me wash off in the shower, and I brush my teeth. I'll hound him later about his celebration while I was hacking but right now I need to lie down.

**Daveed's POV**

I knew Sav was pregnant! She has been so snappy and emotional. It's crazy because she stopped taking pregnancy tests, and we nearly gave up trying. She wasn't wrong when she said she only gets pregnant on accident. She's passed out in the bed, so I leave the room and close the door behind me. Now we know she can't tolerate Chinese food, but I need a plate.
"Is she okay?" Zuri asks.
"Yeah, we just need to get this smell out before she wakes up." Zuri cleaned the mess off of the floor. "Thank you for cleaning that. I wasn't looking forward to it."
"No problem. I will be waiting until later to eat my food, though." She responded with a laugh. The twins are ready to eat, so Zuri picks them up to feed them together. "Our babies are growing so fast already. Look at Jilly trying to pull herself up like a big girl."
"She is going to be so adventurous." Jilly uses all her might but plops down onto her bottom. Then she screams at the couch like it was the couch's fault. "And temperamental," I added.
"She is already so much like Sav. Our little fireball." Zuri smiles while watching Jilly try standing again.
"I'm thrilled to have another baby. Sav can stop being hard on herself now." It's been hard to watch Sav tear herself down, but she finally started showing confidence recently.
"I'm just glad it's her and not me. I love having as much sex as I want without worrying about getting pregnant, and you don't have to use a condom. I never have to deal with morning sickness, back pains, swollen feet, or labor. I could list so many reasons to be thankful for the tubal." She doesn't have an ounce of regret. I'm not going to lie; I wanted at least one more baby with Zuri, but it's her body and health being sacrificed. We're blessed with the ones we already have, so I can't be greedy.
"I'm glad you made the right choice for yourself. It's not like we aren't officially outnumbered by babies anyway. I wonder how far along she is. Sav hasn't taken a test in about two months now." It's impossible to pinpoint.
"I guess we will find out soon. Sav did say her cycle was off last month, so there's no telling." Zuri finishes feeding Snuggle Bug and Bubbers and puts them down for tummy time.


Doctor Ramirez was able to get us in the office the following week to see how far along Sav is.
"Congratulations on another baby, you guys. Your urine sample came back normal, and the test showed you are expecting." She rolled over the machine, "Let's take a look."
She applies the gel and moves over Sav's stomach. Doctor Ramirez whistles, "I hope you three have a big house. Do twins run in your family, Saviera?"
"Yes. My sister has twin boys, and my grandmother had a twin sister. Am I having twins?" Zuri and I are silent.
"You are having twins. You are measuring at twelve weeks pregnant." She turns the screen so we can see. I can't believe this. Holy shit.
"Twelve weeks? Are they okay? I've been doing a lot of exercises. I could have hurt them." Sav is about to cry, so Zuri and I try to comfort her.
"They look healthy to me, and their heart rates are strong. You for sure need to stop doing those workouts, though. You should weigh more by now, especially with twins. How well are you eating?" She asked.
"I cut out fast food, pork, and cows milk. No sodas, candy, or desserts. I eat three meals and two small snacks a day." Her diet isn't much for a woman carrying two babies.
"Well, you will need to start eating more than that. I'm not saying you need to drink cow's milk again, but you need to intake more calcium and proteins. Your babies are fine because they're taking from you, but you are getting nearly nothing to replace that. Still eat healthy food choices, but consume more fruits and vegetables. Lean beef, chicken, and beans for fiber are important as well." She prints off pictures of the babies. You can already see their fingers and toes. With Jilly, she looked like a little bean, but these babies are way further along for their first sonogram.
"Are you able to tell if they're identical or fraternal yet?"
"Not one hundred percent yet. I know the twins have their own placentas and sacs, but that doesn't mean they can't be identical still. I can tell you in six weeks when we find out the genders and do your anatomy scan." She wraps up the visit and congratulates us again on the babies.
