now-its-3am:
alex hadn’t talked to her ex-wife in what felt like forever. between trying to improve the club, the storm and the events lakeview had been put through, it hadn’t really felt like much of a priority. especially not after the other started to avoid her. at least that was what alex suspected she was doing. not that she really knew. the text from maya had set off some alarms. maybe mostly because she hadn’t heard from her in a while. so alex made her way to the coffee shop, almost preparing herself for the worst. while they had split a while ago, the divorce was barely even finalized, and maya still held a special place in alex’s heart. if something really was wrong — alex would be there to help out in a heartbeat.
making her way into the coffee shop, alex was growing more and more worried. worst case scenarios kept playing on repeat in her head as she laid eyes on maya sitting at one of the tables. “look, i don’t have a lot of time, we’re cleaning up after the storm and i–” a frown spread on her face as her jaw dropped slightly, noticing the bump she had grown since she last saw her. “that’s — new.” alex almost mumbled, not even knowing if maya heard her as she approached the table.
maya noticed the shock on alex’s face and the entire bump because more evident as she stood to hug her ex wife. “hey, al.” she mumbled wrapping her arms around the other. “it’s new but it’s not really new. they’ve been in there a good few months now, i thought i should tell you. i thought that you deserved to know, you’re one of the good ones al and i’m sorry that i kept this from you, i guess i just didn’t know how to tell you.” she placed a gentle hand on her bump and smiled down, she loved her babies so much already and she really couldn’t imagine her life going in any other direction than this.
