          Sitting on a stool by the counter, with one earplug plugged on her right ear and the other free to catch any conversation that might happen around her, Caroline patiently went through the big pile of tests she had put there. There were no tables available when she had got there, so it was either the counter or home and there was absolutely no way she would get anything done if she took the pile back to the apartment, she was woman enough to admit that. There was always a system when it came to Callie. Blue for good grades and pink for bad — she didn’t like the red association with really bad things, so she always traded for pink, made it seem more cheerful than not. Stretching her back and cracking the sides of her neck, she let out a sigh and drank the last few sips of the coffee before calling a heavily pregnant waitress to meet her. Should that woman even be working at that point? “Hi— I need more coffee, please,” she pointed to the pile of paper and made a help me face to the girl.

“Coming right up.” the woman said as she waddled her way over to the coffee pot. It was her last day at the grind and surprisingly the brunette had some energy today. The baby was in a good mood and while she didn’t get as much sleep as she would’ve liked, her moods was pretty good. Mina couldn’t wait for the shift to be over though so she could go pick up some cupcakes at red velvet  and head home to finish watching Sabrina. Mina made her way back with the pot in her hand and filled up her mug. “Is all of that papers you have to grade? I do not envy you.” the brunette chuckled lightly. “But you came to the right place. Would you like a cake pop or some kind of pastry, too? It’ll make you feel better.”

It was still so odd to him that some of his old students were old enough to be pregnant now. Not that Forrest was one to talk–if he’s not mistaken, Mina was only several years older than he had been when his daughter had been born, but watching her rise to her feet behind The Grind’s counter, baby bump and all, all he could see was the sixteen year old who’d sat in the third row, left corner of his classroom for the whole year. And maybe he saw a little of her, too–Elena’s mother (who he only thought about, well…anytime he looked at Elena). “Last time I checked, Mina, you graduated. I think you’ve earned the right to call me Forrest.” He knew it would fall on deaf ears, however, and the next time he walked through that door, he’d be greeted the same way, just as he always was. “…my regular sounds great, though. Thank you.” He offered her a smile, hand reaching for his wallet. “How’re you feeling?” From what he remembered, the home stretch had been the hardest.

“Okay, Mr. Holloway.” The brunette said, chuckling lightly. He had always been one of her favorite teachers in school. Possibly because he looked good, but also because he was easy to talk to. He didn’t feel like an intimidating adult -- like her parents or her brother. High school Mina didn’t care much for adults or authority. She cared about looks, having the hottest boyfriend, going to parties and maintaining the top grades in school so she could get into a good school and get the fuck out of Edens. She was not one for the small town life. If she didn’t believe in karma before, she certainly did now. Popular girl Mina made fun of those girls who were dumb enough to get pregnant. She never though that one day she’d be the one in this situation. “Two forty-five.” she said, as she punched in his order. “Not that great, if I’m being completely honest. Dying for this little one to come out, but kind of scared too. I keep thinking about everything that could possibly go wrong.”

It had been pretty slow for the past hour, which Mina appreciated since she didn’t have to be on her feet as much. The third trimester of  pregnancy had been anything but kind to her, which expected, but man she couldn’t wait for that little one to be out already. The girl couldn’t even remember the last time she had a goodnight sleep. These days all she knew was back pains, headaches and the stupid braxton hicks she had to deal with. Upon seeing someone walk into the coffee shop, she rose to her feet and quickly smiled upon seeing who it was. “Hi, Mr. Holloway. Here for your regular?”

          “Nah— you can just sit here with me for a few minutes, maybe? I mean, if you want to— you don’t really look all that comfortable right now,” Renata offered, frowning at the fact that Mina was still working while being that pregnant. She never really imagined what it was like for the girl— if she ever felt alone, maybe? There was no way no one could relate unless having gone through the same as her, Renata surely didn’t and they were even about the same age. “How far along are you? If you don’t mind me asking that is. It just seems as if you’re right about to due any day now.”

“Yea, I’ll seat here for a bit. It’s more comfortable than the stool.” she chuckled lightly. So far, her manager was really accommodating so she couldn’t complain. However, she couldn’t wait to give birth already. As scary as it was to have to push a tiny human out, this third trimester was worst. She didn’t understand how people went through this multiple times. “I’m thirty three weeks right now. This baby is almost done cooking. Just seven more weeks and I’ll have a little nugget in my arms instead. It’s so crazy though because I definitely didn’t see myself being a mom this young.”

“capitalism, probably and also because they literally can’t take care of themselves.” carter shrugged, not all that accustom to looking at the prices tags or even shopping in some of the stores that mina had pulled him into but he was trying to be sympathetic or at least not spoiled. though he’d argue it was really just about taste. “but why would you want to put your child in that drab, i mean come on, please, let me treat you. i know you’re stubborn as fuck but really it’s not a dent for me, which sounds as pretentious as it is, i’m rich, what can i say? sorry?” carter shrugged and pushed his sunglasses up on his head finally, his eyes just slightly red from his slight lack of sleep and his growing dependence on the little glass vile that sat in his jacket pocket. “come on, i’m not taking no for an answer, plus the lights in this store are unflattering as fuck.”

“it’s not even fair.” the girl sighed. while she didn’t regret her decision, she was not looking forward to how costly this baby was going to be. “carter, i love you, but i have to do this on my own. i know i didn’t mind the special treatment before, but everything’s different now, y’know. i mean, what kind of mother would I be if I keep taking from people?” she said, as she put a couple of the newborn onesies in the cart. “Just put your glasses back on,” the brunette said as she looked up at him and really took his features in this time. “Are you okay, though? You look worst than me.”

          Renata would recognize that face anywhere. She had briefly spoken with Mina before— she couldn’t remember where exactly, and Luisa’s Instagram was filled with pictures of the two of them. Luisa also had a knack for not really shutting up about their best friend which was sweet and kind of made Renata a bit jealous of it. She never had anything like that. Last time she saw Mina, the girl was smaller, considerably smaller and the sight of her almost made her eyes bulge. “You can sit down— that’s what you can do,” Ren got up and ushered Mina to the seat in front of her, there was no way someone as big as she was should be working, “Mina, right? Are you okay?”

She smiled softly as she sat down once again and took a deep breath. “Yea, I’m okay. I’ve just been getting so many braxton hicks. They’re like fake contractions.” she explained, caressing her belly as she did the breathing exercises that her doctor told her to do when she felt the tightening in her stomach. Mina recognized Renata right away. She had seen her at the shop a couple of times and Lu had gushed about her a few times as well. “Are you sure you don’t want me to get you anything? Oscar’s break doesn’t end for another ten minutes. I’m really fine.”

Art: Because it's not like them

Art: Okay but I was still here before him lol I've been here through everything, even all of Lu's crushing on him and he never once noticed her until recently

Art: It just seems so sudden and part of me is suspicious and wondering if something more's going on that I don't know about

Art: No because Lu made their position clear. They don't want me around so I'm not gonna be

Mina: so what? they can't try something new? i mean they are growing up

Mina: you're being too protective

Mina: well he taken for the longest time so it'd be fucked if he noticed then

Mina: Lu is a gorgeous amazing person so ofc single people will notice and want to spend more time with them and try to get with them

Mina: there's nothing suspicious about it you're just being overly protective of them

Mina: you know damn well that's not true, art

Mina: i hate to admit it but they probably love you more than me
