“They were weirded out by me dashing to the toilet and camping out in bed like a loser.” There’s a tired chuckle, a hand coming to gently pat at her stomach.

She felt so ashamed for constantly stopping herself, but, she had her reasons regardless.

[* 𝐊𝐀𝐈𝐀. @cherubictempest]

@ingenueingenius Someone in her situation would find it immensely difficult to do so. Sure, to an outsider looking in—they would think it’s rather ( easy ). But the psychological and emotional hurdles to even considering it? It’s a whole mess.

“Y. . . Yeah.” There’s a soft exhale, tired +

[* 𝐊𝐀𝐈𝐀. @cherubictempest]

@ingenueingenius + could speak up so easily. But she felt powerless even now; and lingering doubts and paranoia kept her anchored.

“I can’t be. . . around people at the moment.” She quietly remarks, “I know I can’t explain myself right now because it’s complicated. But it’s not ideal for me.”

@ingenueingenius + she adapted quite easily. But it didn’t unfortunately smooth over the discomfort and fight and flight response she had been feeling for the last six or so months of a living nightmare.

But judging by her voice, she sounded relieved to hear from Everleigh again.

[* 𝐊𝐀𝐈𝐀. @cherubictempest]

@minimastellarum + quite cooped up in bed for the last few days. Nausea growing worse by the present time and back aches were clearly having no plans to leave her alone. For how long? She wasn’t sure.

“In here!” The girl yelled from her bedroom upstairs; curled up in a ball under layers of +

[* 𝐊𝐀𝐈𝐀. @cherubictempest]

She had a nightmare and she has been stressing about closing her eyes ever since!

[* 𝐊𝐀𝐈𝐀. @cherubictempest]

Kaia was sure she could burst at any moment. She couldn’t decipher whether it were the out of whack hormones or that she was genuinely stressed..

“I just. . .” She rubs at her eyes tiredly. “I don’t want to hurt them. I don’t want to end up being like my—my father.”

[𝒩͟𝙰͟𝙽𝙲𝚈 ‍ ‍ ⸝⸝ ‍ 𝒟𝚁𝙴𝒲⁎ @gunechoes]

“Hey?” Elle cut her off instantly, “You will be an amazing mom. Rome wasn’t built in a day right? It’ll take time... this is new and I’ll be here to help you through it.”
The blonde offered a smile— soothingly rubbing Kaia’s shoulder. “It’s okay to be scared.”

[* 𝐊𝐀𝐈𝐀. @cherubictempest]

Kaia hadn’t really figured out how to really feel. The circumstances leading up to this? Left her with a horrible feeling but at the same time. . .

“Terrified.” She’s quietly mumbling, dark eyes darting about. “I—I honestly don’t think I’ll be a good mom. I’m a mess.”

[𝒩͟𝙰͟𝙽𝙲𝚈 ‍ ‍ ⸝⸝ ‍ 𝒟𝚁𝙴𝒲⁎ @gunechoes]

“Twins? Twins.”

Elle smiled a little, looking at the girl before pulling her in for another hug. Her nature for hugging had really been coming out lately (!) “How do you feel about that?” She questioned, raising a brow slowly.

[* 𝐊𝐀𝐈𝐀. @cherubictempest]

She trusted Elle enough to confide in her as she knew. Exhaling, she looks away. “I went to Ai and Kelly for a checkup as usual, that kind of thing.”

Poor girl. “Turns out. . .” A pause, “they, um, heard two heart beats. If you get what I’m saying.”

[𝒩͟𝙰͟𝙽𝙲𝚈 ‍ ‍ ⸝⸝ ‍ 𝒟𝚁𝙴𝒲⁎ @gunechoes]

“Hey — hey Kai you okay?”

Her attention immediately grabbed by the girl approaching her and the discolour against her face. It concerned her. Though, she also soon took note of the letter in her hands, “Whats that?”

// I don’t want to bother people by being here when I’m not well. I’m sorry.

// Also gonna sleep early after dinner + have Kaia suffer a little because I tend to do so when I’m not feeling good. ❤️

That’d be nice. Even with the fact they’re still struggling to even figure things out in. . . wherever this is.

(And they have to adapt to it, which sucks. But they can’t do much.)

// Me kinda going into 12 weeks with this because it’s needed for this 🤔

Um, uh—catch her kinda stumbling over to @mistreatedways.

She went to Aisha and Kelly to get checked up today and by the logic that her face is pale and she’s clutching VERY tightly on a yellow envelope.

(Yeah, she has something.)
