As I said in the summary, Stitch asks Lilo to marry him. The rest of the Ohana doesn't know about their relationship. They have kept it hidden from everybody, but now that they want to get married, they want to tell them about it. However, their plans will seem difficult to carry out when Jumba finds out about their relationship and something else... something that surely will leave in shock the whole family and that will split apart Lilo and Stitch. Hope you enjoy!

Bring back my Angel

Lilo opened her eyes, feeling the sunrays entering the room. She found an ocean of blue fur ahead, soft and fluffy to the touch. She yawned lazily, closing her eyes again as she cuddled closer to Stitch, not wanting to leave the side of her lover. Stitch stretched a bit before his arms went around Lilo's waist. She opened slightly her eyes and found him staring at her.

-Hey, Stitch —she greeted and smiled at him. He smiled back at her adoringly and sighed in bliss as he pulled Lilo closer to him. She enjoyed having his arms around her, and he loved to have her locked in tight like this as well. She kissed briefly his nose and closed her eyes to go back to sleep. Today was Saturday. Even Pleakley would get up later than usual, so they both fell asleep again.

However, one hour later, Lilo was already up. Her stomach had been complaining during the last fifteen minutes, and she had finally given up. Stitch was still snoring softly, his chest raising and going down slowly, indicating that he was sound asleep. "He's so cute when he's asleep…" she thought, smiling at the sight, thinking it was best not to wake him up. She turned around and walked to the platform, but just when she was about to step on it, she heard Stitch groaning in displeasure. She turned around and saw him jumping out of the bed. She smiled.

-I thought you wanted to sleep a bit more —she said. He was too stubborn when it came to sleep without her in his arms, to the point of getting up if she wasn't with him, even if he still wanted to sleep.

Stitch didn't respond; he only took her hand and leaded her to the lift to bring both of them downstairs. When the platform was finally down they walked into the kitchen, still holding hands, but as soon as they went in their hands let go. Pleakley was already there, making breakfast. They giggled nervously, looking bashfully at their sides. No one knew of their relationship, except for themselves of course and a few experiments, the closest to them.

-Lilo! Stitch! You're just in time for breakfast! —Pleakley greeted cheerfully when he noticed them in the kitchen.

"Here he goes…again" Lilo thought to herself as she rolled her eyes. She was about to go into the living room, but Pleakley wouldn't let them go.

-It's a new recipe! I just thought it up, and this is it! —he announced as he stepped right in front of her, and then took from the stove a frying pan. When he took off the lid, Lilo nearly threw out what she had had for dinner.

-Pleakley! What's that thing?! —Lilo demanded to know. She had to bring a hand to her mouth to stop the terrible nausea that had overcome her all of sudden. Usually, she couldn't bear Pleakley's food, but she had never felt any nausea. "This must be the worst food ever that he's done" She thought.

-Don't waste your saliva with useless complains and start eating! —Pleakley had already served two plates of his invention, so he made Lilo take seat and put a plate ahead of her. Lilo felt again her stomach twisting.

-Uh, I don't feel like having breakfast right now, Pleakley. I really don't… —Lilo started saying, but her stomach was twirling and twisting more and more. Suddenly, she stood up and dashed to the bathroom. The door slammed loudly behind her. Both Pleakley and Stitch looked puzzled at the scene.

-Do I really cook that bad? —Pleakley asked startled as he turned his big eye to Stitch.

-Oh, naga… —Stitch replied as he threw his plate into his mouth.

-Hey, no plates included! —Pleakley scolded. Stitch spat out the plate and this time he only threw into his mouth the "food", but as soon as he tasted it, he spat it out too with a sickened face.

-Icky! Naga takabah! —he protested as he tried cleaning his tongue with his paws, but he didn't success at all. Then Lilo went out of the bathroom. Her face was a bit pale, and she was holding her stomach.

-Lilo, are you alright? —Pleakley asked worried —. You look a bit pale.

-Oh, it's nothing. Maybe I ate something that made me a bit sick, that's all. I just won't eat anything by now. —she replied and then turned her head at Stitch —. Want to go for a walk?

-Ih! —Stitch agreed. He followed the teen out of the house, closing the door behind them noisily. Pleakley peeked out of the house and shouted a goodbye, and then returned to the kitchen.

-Those two look so cute together —he said to himself —. I'd bet they will stick together someday —then he looked at the table. His food was there, but the plates weren't anywhere to be seen.

-Ah, that little monster! —he shouted angrily in realization —. I told him that plates were NOT INCLUDED!

While an angered walking noodle shouted at home, Lilo and Stitch walked calmly side by side, the threes and ferns passing by. As soon as they were out of view, Lilo felt a hand wrapping around hers. She smiled and turned her head at Stitch, who just grinned innocently. She knew that gleam in his eyes and that pleading smile. She rolled her eyes and let out a chuckle.

-Let me guess… you ate another plate of Pleakley's crockery, right?

-Isa better than his food —Stitch mocked a sick face. Lilo laughed.

-True. Well, we'll have to wait until dinner before we go back home. By then, maybe he won't be angry… or at least not so angry.

-Ih —Stitch nodded —. Lilo? Meega wanted to ask something.

-What is it, Stitch?

-When Lilo and Stitch… tell Ohana… about us?

-I don't know, Stitch… —Lilo sighed. She noticed a flat rock near and sat down there. Stitch did the same —. You know? Maybe we should tell them soon…

-Ih. Oki taka… but… Ohana, uh, be angry?

-Maybe… but I hope they'll accept it sooner or later. It doesn't really matter if we're together at the end.

-Stitch afraid… —he whispered.

-I'll be there with you. Don't worry, Stitch, it won't be that bad… you'll see that everything will be okay, and they'll accept it. It's not like they're going to split us apart, right? It's going to take a lot to get rid of you and me. —she tried to joke.

Stitch looked down for a moment. Lilo kicked herself mentally. Her 'joke' had only seemed to make things worse. —Stitch no wants to lose Lilo… would be too much for Stitch —he said finally as he took her in his arms. Stitch felt Lilo melting in his embrace, and soon her arms were around him too.

-You won't. I love you, Stitch. —she said as her hands caressed his large ears. He purred lightly. She continued to caress him until she felt herself being lifted from the rock.

-Stitch! Stop it! —she screamed laughing. He didn't let go of her, though, so she reached for his belly and started tickling him. They both fell to the ground laughing, trying to make the other laugh harder. They rolled on the grass, Stitch trying to keep Lilo pinned and Lilo trying to get him off, but Stitch was stronger than her, so it just took him a few seconds of struggling before pinning her.

-Let me go, you fuzz ball! —she menaced playfully.

-Naga —Stitch replied calmly. As she continued to struggle beneath him, he lowered his head and placed his lips on hers. Almost immediately, she stopped and gasped lightly, but soon her arms were around him too. Stitch smiled and then his hands went behind her head to hold her closer to him and to intensify the kiss. They kept kissing for what seemed and eternity, not wanting to let go. For Stitch, it was almost Heaven, and he wished it would never end, but suddenly, much to his displeasure, Lilo pushed him away. He fell to the ground and looked confused at her. It had been a bit abrupt for her to do that.

-Lilo? —he called worried, noticing something was out of place. Lilo sat up as she rubbed her head.

-I'm sorry, Stitch… —she said. Stitch noticed immediately that her face had paled again —I don't feel very well… right now…

-Huh? —he started, but then Lilo collapsed. He dashed to her side and caught her before she reached the ground. As soon as she fell into his arms he lifted her chin, thinking she had fainted, but he could see her eyes narrowed slightly and then he heard her weak voice trying to talk to him.

-Stitch… something's happening to me… I don't… feel… okay… Everything is spinning… —and with that, she passed out.

-Lilo! —Stitch cried in panic. He lifted the girl and rushed back home.

--

-626, please be calming down! Evil Genius cannot be understanding you if you don't stop shouting!

Lilo opened her eyes, but everything was too blurry. She winked twice before everything became clear again to her eyes. She sat up and groaned slightly as she rubbed her head. She heard someone gasping and approaching her.

-Little Girl! You're being awake! —she heard Jumba's thick voice. Almost immediately, she realized she was in Jumba and Pleakley's room. Then she saw Stitch beside the bed she was on, with a very relieved face.

-Stitch? What happened? —she asked. She tried to stand up, but her legs were still too weak to support her weight. She would have fallen to the ground if it wasn't for Stitch, who reacted quickly and caught her in his arms.

-Lilo okay? —he asked worried. Lilo nodded, and then he proceeded to explain —. Lilo fainted. She got pale and said… she didn't feel okay. —then he turned his head at Jumba —Lilo isa oki-taka?

-By now she is, 626, but I'm thinking we should make some tests to make sure there's nothing to be worrying about —Jumba replied —. All I am needing to make tests is sample of her blood to analyze it with super-computer.

Lilo nodded again, as if approving what Jumba was about to do. Jumba went to one of his drawers to look for something. After a couple of minutes, he had in his hand some kind of little white tube, prepared to receive Lilo's blood. He put it to her arm. Stitch held Lilo's hand the whole while, even thought she was not afraid of being extracted some of her blood. Anyway, she smiled and squeezed it back, looking at Stitch with thankfulness. All what she felt was a slight prick, not painful at all, and after some seconds Jumba retired it.

-Now Jumba is going to take this to spaceship to analyze it —Jumba said, and both Lilo and Stitch nodded. As soon as Jumba was out of the room, Stitch climbed onto Pleakley's bed, where Lilo had been resting this whole while.

-Lilo feels better now? —he asked. Lilo reached up her hand to pat his head and rub it.

-Yeah, I'm a lot better now… I'm just worried I might faint again later on. I thought I felt okay before feeling really bad and then passing out —she said worried —. Now let's just hope that whatever I got isn't something actually serious.

-Ih —Stitch nodded —. Lilo very strong. She will be okay… for Stitch, ih?

-If it's for you, I will —she smiled.

-Promise? —Stitch lifted his hand.

-Promise —Lilo giggled and joined her hand to his, interlacing their fingers. She thought they seemed so different, yet so perfect together, as if they were meant to be that way. She just hoped their Ohana would understand this and let them be together. She wanted to spend the rest of her life with him, and she was sure Stitch wanted it too. It had been kind of funny how they had got together at the end. They had never imagined that they would end up falling in love and sticking together, but now that they were, she wanted now to marry him someday, as soon as she could. After all, she was now seventeen. Only one year more and she would be old enough to marry him.

Stitch watched their hands as well, as very similar thoughts filled his mind. How much he wanted to see in her finger a ring! He had been counting how many months were left before she turned eighteen. Maybe that was one of the reasons they wanted to tell their Ohana about them. Even though he had never really asked Lilo to marry him, he wanted to do it, to spend all of his life with his best friend and lover, no matter what species they were. After all, he had learned that love wasn't a matter of being the same species, because after all that was something they could change. Either he could become a human or Lilo an experiment… at least for a short while. He liked them being human and alien… just being themselves was perfect for him. He looked once more at their joined hands. His four fingers fitted perfectly between hers. It was like if his hands were made to fit perfectly with hers, like two pieces of a puzzle. "Maybe Lilo's right. There shouldn't be anything to worry about telling our Ohana about us."

-Everything okay, Stitch? —Lilo asked when she noticed the lost stare of Stitch's eyes. He shook his head slightly and smiled at her.

-Ih. Stitch… just thoughtful. —he replied, then lowered his hand, not letting go of hers, though.

-About what? —Lilo asked cautiously. Stitch shrugged. Then an idea hit him. Maybe Lilo was still seventeen, but… he could ask her right now, so when she turned eighteen…

-Wait a second. —he said, and then dashed out of the room. Lilo looked confused at the door which he had gone out by. She could hear the whir of the lift two times, and then Stitch was back. He sat down on the bed again, this time in front of her, and when he was finally where he wanted, he kneeled on the bed and took Lilo's hand again.

-Stitch knows Lilo still seventeen… but she turning eighteen soon. Will Lilo marry Stitch when she eighteen? —he said at the same time as he took out one of his extra-arms. He opened his hand and let on sight a little silver ring. Lilo gasped as she recognized it.

(A/N: If you have the Lilo & Stitch special edition DVD and have read the original story in the second disc, then you'll remember that Lilo gave Stitch a silver ring and told him it was a medal of honor. I know it didn't really happen in the movie, but I thought it would be cute if Lilo gave him the ring and several years later he gave it back to her at this moment.)

-You still have it… —she whispered in shock, but then remembered what Stitch had just said. He lifted her hand slightly and introduced the ring in her thin finger, and then lifted his face to look at her expectantly.

-Will… you… marry me… Lilo? —he repeated slowly, trying to say it correctly. Lilo's eyes filled with tears of pure happiness and then threw her arms around Stitch.

-Yes! Yes, I will marry you, Stitch! —she cried, her voice breaking of so much excitement. Stitch's eyes nearly filled with tears too, but he could keep them back. They were more than happy. Their dream of sharing their lives would come true. After some minutes of crying and hugging, Lilo pulled away a bit and looked at Stitch.

-You know what this means? —she said. Stitch tilted his head to one side, making her know that he wanted to listen at what she had to say —. If we're getting married, then we have to tell the others about us now. What do you think about tonight?

-Ih! —Stitch agreed. He gave it some thought and then spoke — We tell Jumba first so Jumba helps?

-Okay —Lilo agreed with Stitch —. When he's back, we'll tell him. Oki-taka?

-Oki-taka —Stitch grinned widely and then took Lilo into his arms again to kiss her lips briefly. Now he was certain that there was nothing to fear about telling their Ohana of their relationship. He had just let go of Lilo when the door opened and Jumba came in. Almost immediately, Stitch jumped out of the bed, impatient to tell Jumba the good news. However, he had failed to notice Jumba's troubled, pale face. However, Lilo noticed it.

-Jumba! Jumba, eegata takabah! Stitch and Lilo-!

-Stitch… —Lilo interrupted softly. Stitch looked confused at her and then followed her eyes to end up looking at Jumba's face. Then he noticed it too.

-Jumba? Gaba ika tasoopa? —he asked carefully. Jumba had to take a hold of a nearby chair. He seemed to be in a great shock.

-Jumba? What's wrong? Did you find anything worrying about me? —Lilo asked, afraid of what she would hear from Jumba. After some seconds of an uncomfortable silence, Jumba could finally pronounce a few words.

-Little Girl's pregnant.
