Hey, my dudes, back at it again with these garbage stories. Hope this is good enough to make you cry your eyes out! Love ya'll!

"H-hey, Nya?" Jay asked one night after Nya had turned out the lights.
"Hmm?" Nya mumbled. She had almost been asleep. "Yeah, Jay?"
"Can I ask you something?" He asked, rolling over in the bed to face her.
Nya opened her eyes. Oh, how Jay loved her eyes, her big, round doe eyes the color of black coffee. She had long eyelashes and pink cheeks that stood out against her porcelain skin. She was so beautiful. He was so lucky to have her. "What?" She whispered. Her arm curled up under her chin, her hand lay under her head, under her pillow. She looked innocent, she looked so pure.
"I was just wondering-"
"Yes," Nya said simply, closing her eyes again.
"What? You don't even know what I was going to say."
"'Do you still like me?'" Nya giggled, mocking Jay's voice.
Jay flushed. In all honesty, it was fair that she thought he'd ask that. Over the past few weeks, Jay had become paranoid about whether or not Nya still loved him. But in the last week, he stopped worrying about it. Nya had proven that she didn't love anyone but him. Jay couldn't have been more relieved. "No, that's not what I was going to ask!"
Nya chuckled. "What were you going to ask then?"
"Well, I just wanted to know... Well... Do you want kids?"
Nya raised an eyebrow. "Well, that was unexpected."
"Yeah, I-"
"I do want kids, though."
"You do?" Jay asked meekly.
"Don't you?" Asked Nya.
"Yes! Of course, I do." Jay said. "I just didn't think you did."
Nya smiled. "Yeah, at most I want five. No more than that -I might go insane if I did."
"Yeah, I get that," Jay said. "Five, then?"
"Five then. But let's wait to try until after we've gotten married."
"Okay."
It had been nearly a year since Jay and Nya had married. They still lived with the rest of the team, but everything was different. They were teased a great deal more now that they were married -most of the teasing came from Cole and Kai- and at the same time, they were given a little more respect. The reason for this was, that if the Ninja didn't respect them, Lloyd would make them train an extra three hours. Jay adored this. Every once in a while, Jay would induce teasing in front of Lloyd specifically to make one of their team suffer -he rarely did this, however, if he was in the proper mood, anyone could fall victim to this trap.
One night, after coming home after stopping an attempted bank robbery with Lloyd, Jay came home to see Nya sitting on the edge of a chair in the room they shared. She looked anxious, and she was bouncing one leg, a habit Jay had learned signaled anxiety, as she wrung her hands. She looked awful; she looked sick. At first, she did not hear or see Jay enter. "Hey, Nya," He said softly. Nya jumped.
Nya straightened up immediately."Oh! H-hi, Jay! I didn't hear you come in!"
"I see that," Jay said. Nya was still bouncing her leg. "Are you okay?" She stopped bouncing her leg. She looked guilty. Her eyes were wide, and her lips were pressed tightly together.
"Oh? Yeah, I'm fine," Nya.
"Nya?" Jay said questioningly.
"I'm fine!"
"Nya?" Jay said raising an eyebrow.
Nya broke into giggles. She then stood and walked over to him, greeting him with a hug and kiss; she had to lean over just a bit to kiss him. "Really, everything's okay. How did the bank robbery go?" Nya asked jokingly.
"We got them. It was just a group of petty thugs. No big deal." Jay said, wrapping his arms around his wife's waist. He laid his head on her shoulder. "Are you sure everything's okay?"
"Yes," Nya said sweetly.
The two stood there in absolute peace. Jay loved how warm Nya always seemed to be... She was so comforting at times like this; when he was stressed, she knew how to relieve it, and she made him happier than anyone else knew how. It was unlike anything he could have hoped for. His parents always told him being married was such hard work -and it was! Jay thought they were kidding. He'd never seen his parents fight, but they were right. There were always little disputes. They fought over the dumbest things. Marriage was about compromise. Jay couldn't do everything he wanted all the time anymore, but Nya didn't run as tight of a ship as many people assumed she would. She was loose-reigning, and in stark contrast, Jay was the strict one. He had never loved anyone as much as Nya, and sometimes he just didn't know what to do with that emotion. He got jealous sometimes. He sometimes became worried that Nya would fall out of love with him. He had no greater fear than this.
A loud beeping startled the pair out of their peaceful stupor. Nya pulled back and pulled out her phone. Had it only been a few minutes that they'd been standing there? Was that all? Nya let out a gruff huff and let go of Jay. She elegantly walked off to the bathroom. Then there was silence.
In Nya's absence, Jay began pulling off his ninja gi. He was surprised that he'd gone this long before changing out of it. After tonight, Jay thought, it would need to be cleaned. Frick, that was going to stain, Jay groaned mentally upon spotting a small blood stain. That would be really hard to get out... He threw the upper half of his gi into a clothes hamper in the corner. Just after that, Nya burst into the room squealing incoherently in her native tongue. She rounded the corner and near tackled him into a tight hug, still squeaking excitedly. "Hey, Nya?" Jay tested. "What's going on?"
Jay was certain that Nya was trying to answer him, but for the life of him, he couldn't understand a word she said. She was talking so fast, and so excitedly. He'd never seen her so hyper -no, that was his job. Seeing this side of Nya was slightly unnerving solely because it was rarely seen. "Hey, could you slow down? You're going to fast for even me to catch up."
Nya grinned brightly, her eyes were wide. "We-" She stopped a second for breath. "Jay, we-we're pregnant."
Jay grinned, not quite grasping her words. "Nya that's great -wait, what?"
Nya beamed. "We're having a baby, Jay. We're having a baby."
For only a moment, Jay was breathless. Then he suddenly let out a shriek of pure joy. He wrapped his arms around Nya's waist, lifted her off the ground and spun her around, continuing to scream all the while. That's what Jay did when he was excited -he screamed. Nya wrapped her arms around his neck and held on tight. Both laughed hysterically, reminiscent of a pair of giggly hyenas. Nya leaned down and kissed Jay on the nose. "But don't tell anyone yet." She said. "I'll let them know when I'm ready,"
