"Lilo? Are you feeling okay?" Nani asked her little sister, who was lying on the couch groaning.
"Yeah. I think I'm okay." Lilo responded just before groaning again.
"I don't understand what could be wrong with you. This is your third stomachache this week! Are you sure you're not ill?" Nani asked, worried about her little sister. Lilo had been having severe stomachaches three times this week. One had hurt her so bad that she even sobbed. Nani wasn't sure if this was serious, but she was very worried.
"I don't feel sick." Lilo replied. "I know I'm not pregnant!" She chuckled, trying to lighten the mood.
Nani giggled. "I hope not! You're 11 years old, so you better not be sleeping with the guys."
Lilo smiled, despite her pain. "I'm not."
Nani played with Lilo's hair for a little while, staring down at her with deep concern. She was very worried about her sister's health. She wasn't so sure, if a hospital should get involved or if this is just an occasional flu. Things like these scared her immensely. When you know something is wrong, but you don't know what.
As Nani stroked Lilo's hair, the door swung open. Lilo cranked her head and smiled at the two experiments that go by the names of Stitch and Angel. After spending some "girl time" together, Lilo started warming up to Angel, much to Stitch's satisfaction. None of the girls envied each other or would send dirty looks, but smile and wave at the other. Lilo still felt slightly left out, but she seemed to be over it. Her best friend in the whole world was in love, and she was very happy for him.
Angel waved back, but Stitch stared at Lilo. He could tell this was another stomachache. He instantly dropped Angel's hand, walked to where Lilo laid, and kneeled beside her. Nani smiled, knowing Stitch would care more for her than she would. She gave Stitch a soft pat on the back and turned to head into the kitchen. Stitch stayed by Lilo, holding her hand.
"Lilo okay?" He asked in that cute alien voice of his.
Lilo smiled. "Of course I'm okay Stitch. It's just those stupid aches again. Don't worry, I'm fine."
Stitch nodded, but he was still unconvinced. "Okitaka. Meega come down to check later. Angel, goobaja!"
Angel looked up at the sound of her name. She smiled as she walked over to Stitch, then she turned her eyes to Lilo. "Stomachache?" Lilo nodded, causing Angel to lean forward and lovingly lick her cheek. "Soka."
Lilo smiled. "Don't be. Go on you two. I know you're just dying to touch each other."
Both of the experiments blushed and they glared at her. Lilo laughed, which put smiles on their faces. Just like Nani, both Stitch and Angel were very concerned about Lilo. They had asked Jumba about this, but he told them there was nothing to worry. He told them Earthlings sometimes go through pains like these as they grow and their bodies develop. Stitch didn't believe that was really the case, nor did Angel, but they did believe it wasn't something to be strongly concerned about. However, after having that one severe stomachache, both of them started to worry.
Angel gave Lilo one last smile before tugging Stitch away from her. She watched them as they scampered off into their own bedroom. Yes, Stitch and Angel had their own room now, but that didn't bother Lilo as much. Sure, she missed the nightly company of her only friend, but she understood. Nani had these talks with her and had told her that soon, she'll find a boy who would sweep her off her feet and carry her off to their sunset. Lilo had thought her older sister was being just a bit too romantic, but she did like the idea of having a boyfriend.
Lilo had seen Nani with David. She watched them embrace and kiss as they whisper those three words to each other. While gazing at them, she wondered what it felt like. How does it feel to be in the arms of a boy who loves you and you love back? She noticed her older sister was very happy around David and it made her wonder, would she be that happy?
While Lilo contemplated on her thoughts, Stitch and Angel were upstairs in their room. Stitch was just coming out from the bathroom that joined their room when he saw Angel stretched on the bed. Her lust filled eyes made him slightly apprehensive. He also didn't really like her pose either. One leg was lying stretched out on the bed while the other pulled up near her crotch with her knee stuck high in the air. Her arms were lying at her sides, clutching the bed sheets. Her pink antennas fell down her deep black eyes, covering her beautiful and soft face.
"Stitch... come to bed." Angel purred seductively.
Stitch tilted his head to one side, his eyebrow raised. "Angel, gaba youga doing?"
"Meega want children! With you." Angel answered as she rolled over on her side. Her leg stretched straight out while the other tucked beneath it.
"Soka buchee-bu, but meega want naga children." Stitch stated uneasily and his insides clenched when he noticed Angel's disappointed face.
"Gaba?" She asked almost sadly. "Youga no want children?"
"Naga. Meega want to keep family way it is. With Lilo, Nani, Jumba, Pleakley, the experiments, and you. No children." He started fidgeting uncomfortably on his feet. "Stitch still love Angel! But Stitch naga want children!"
Angel sighed. "Meega understand. Angel love buchee-bu too. Meega just wanted children to make our love stronger."
Stitch smiled as he walked over to her and sat down on their bed. He then brought his arms around her. "Naga Angel. Children naga make our bond of love stronger. But this will."
He then leaned forward and kissed Angel on her pink lips. He could feel her smile as her arms wrapped around him and she snuggled her face into his chest. "Meega happy with Stitch." She purred happily.
Stitch grinned and reached over to turn off the light in their bedroom. "Isa almost 4:00. Angel want to take nap before dinner?"
She nodded against his chest and began to drift. Stitch held her tighter before he drifted off to dreamland himself.
An hour later, Lilo's stomach really started to hurt. She screamed in pain, causing Nani to rush in and check on her. Lilo started telling her in a raspy breath about her pains, that they keep on increasing. Nani's heart wrenched at the sight of Lilo's tears slowly trickling down her tan face. She instantly ran to the medicine cabinet to pull out stomach pain medicine. She gave it to Lilo, who was very reluctant in taking the chewable pills, and forced it down her. With a loud moan, Lilo laid down on the couch, her chest heaving heavily.
Nani leaned forward to kiss Lilo's forehead before getting back up to cook dinner. Lilo fell asleep on the couch while the medicine worked its magic on her. No one dared to wake her up until dinnertime. Stitch and Angel were already awake, but were outside in the sun, lying on the hammock. They stayed there until Nani called to them for dinner. The two experiments climbed off the hammock and walked inside together, hand in hand. Stitch's eyes immediately fell upon Lilo, who was still asleep on the couch. Angel noticed where he was looking at and sighed. She was very worried about Lilo.
"There you two are." Said a cheerful voice behind them. They turned around to see Pleakley who was beaming down on them. "You two have some fun upstairs? I heard Angel wanted children."
Apparently, he didn't stay to hear the rest of it. Stitch thought angrily. He then growled. "Naga listen to our conversation!" He snapped.
His girlfriend agreed quickly. "Ih!"
Pleakley backed away. "Fine. By the way, can you two go wake up Lilo? It's time to eat and lounging on the couch isn't healthy."
He then receded to the kitchen. Stitch slowly walked over to Lilo and laid his hands on her shoulders. Angel was adjacent to him, in case he needed help. He started shaking Lilo softly to wake her. "Lilo, isa dinner time."
Lilo groaned in protest at the thought of waking up, but her eyes opened. "Alright, I'll be there."
She then got off the couch and staggered to the kitchen. Angel and Stitch's eyes watched her and then they followed her. They took a seat next to each other while their young human friend sat across from them. After Pleakley served their dinner, Stitch watched Lilo as she played lazily with her food. Noticing everybody looked worriedly at her; she smiled and began to eat. Satisfied that she was eating, everybody else started to dig in too.
Suddenly, Lilo stood quickly out of her chair. Her face turned to a sickish green as she turned and hurried away. Nani, Stitch, and Angel followed her while Pleakley and Jumba just looked at each other in confusion.
Lilo violently jerked the bathroom door opened and ran to the toilet. Her sister and best friends watched as she puked in the toilet. Her breakfast, lunch, and few chunks of her food swirled around, causing her to be sick again. She leaned over for a second time then stood up. She flushed the toilet, wiped the remaining puke off her lips, and looked to the three onlookers. However as soon as she did that, her face paled and she passed out.
"Lilo!" Stitch cried with worry as he ran to catch his best friend before she could hit the ground. "Gaba wrong with her!"
"I don't know, but I'm calling the hospital." Nani responded as she quickly left the bathroom.
Stitch cradled Lilo in his arms, holding her close to him. He was spooked at how warm she was. Her face was sweaty and her body felt like fire. He looked to Angel with strong worry in his eyes. She looked back at him with the same look.
"Shoga okitaka?" Angel asked quietly, her voice cracked but there were no tears.
"Meega naga nota." Stitch murmured back, his voice also cracked but again, no tears.
Just then, Nani came into the room. "I'm driving Lilo to the hospital. After explaining her condition to the receptionist, Lilo may have a serious illness."
Stitch handed Lilo to Nani then said. "Meega want to go too."
"Stitch, I know you're worried about Lilo, but you can't come. Dogs can't go inside hospitals. I'll give you the news when I get back."
With that, Nani carried Lilo out the door, leaving two experiments to worry about their best friend.
