"Well, we've got our answer..." Winston softly said, staring into Eve's eyes. It took a minute for it to register in her head before she realized what he meant. Her eyes lit up and she said "I'm...pregnant!" He leaned down and kissed her again and she returned it, but with much more passion.
"I love you, Eve..." He said, putting his arms around her. She smiled and said "I love you too, Winston! Oh my god, I can't believe this! Wait until Lilly and Kate hear about it!" He chuckled and said "They're gonna be ecstatic, believe me!" They laid there making out for a while longer, neither of them wanting to let each other go.
Eventually Eve was starting to fall asleep and said "I'm gonna take that nap now..." He smiled and said "Okay, honey. I'll wake you up in a while." She nodded and cuddled tightly against him, closing her eyes and falling asleep a few minutes later.
He kissed her forehead and laid his head against hers, lightly rubbing her belly with his paw. "I can't wait to see you..." He thought to himself, trying to picture what their next pup would look like. It would be a long wait, though. About nine months...
Downstairs, Cody and Lilly had fallen asleep on the couch after she took one of her pain pills. It knocked her out fairly quickly and he was feeling kinda tired anyway. She'd been asleep for about an hour now and was starting to stir awake.
She yawned and opened her eyes, looking over at Cody to see he was still asleep. She smiled and cuddled up against him more, bumping her broken arm against the couch in process. "AHH! Shit!" She yelled, instantly waking him. "Huh, what!? What!?" He quickly said, confused.
She had tears in her eyes from the sudden pain and sniffed, saying "Sorry...I hit my arm on the couch..." He calmed down and said "Sounded like it hurt!"
"No shit it did! That hurt like hell!" She yelled, upset with him. He let go of her and said "I understand it hurt, but why're you getting mad at me?" She sighed and said "I don't know...I'm sorry..."
"It's okay..." He said, kissing her cheek. She weakly smiled and said "I had no reason to get mad at you...I guess the pain made me angry."
"I know, it happens to everyone. Just relax, okay?" He asked, rubbing her back. She nodded and laid her head against his shoulder, waiting for the pain to go away. It still hurt really bad and it still had her in tears.
He wiped them away, saying "I know it hurts, but it'll stop soon, I promise." She sniffed and said "I can hardly stand it! I just want it to stop!" He kissed her again and said "Just calm down...How badly does it hurt?"
"More then you can imagine!" She said, starting to cry a little. "Shh...It's okay...I'm here for you." He said, comforting her. She closed her eyes and tried going back to sleep, but couldn't. She sat up and said "Can you get Mom, please? I need her to check it out..."
"Sure, babe. I'll be right back." He said, kissing her cheek and getting up. He went up the stairs and down the hall to Winston and Eve's room, gently knocking on the door. He waited a few seconds until Winston opened it.
"What can I do for you, son?" He quietly asked since Eve was still asleep. "Lilly's arm is hurting her real bad and she asked if Eve could take a look at it." He said. Winston smiled a little and said "Well, she's asleep right now...It's okay, I'll wake her up and tell her."
"Thanks. Sorry to disturb you guys." He said. Winston chuckled and said "It's alright, son. If it has anything to do with our daughters, then we don't mind a bit." Cody smiled too and said "Okay. I'll go back downstairs now." He turned around and went back down, sitting next to Lilly on the couch.
"She'll be down in a few minutes. Your Dad said she was asleep." He said, smiling. "Oh...I didn't want to wake her up..." She said, feeling bad now. He kissed her cheek and said "He said not to worry about it."
"Okay...But, still..." She said, smiling a little now too. "Does it still hurt as bad?" He asked.
"Not quite AS bad, but for the most part...Yeah." She said, wiping her eyes again. They waited a couple minutes until Eve and Winston came down the stairs. "Hi, honey. So, your arms hurting?" Eve asked, looking sleepy.
"Yeah, I knocked it against the couch and it hasn't let up..." She said, shifting around. Eve came over next to her and "Okay. I'll need to take the bandages off and replace them. They could be a little tight right now. It's gonna hurt some while I do it, though."
"Alright...Just make it quick." Lilly said, awaiting more pain. Eve gently took the sling off and started unwrapping the bandage, getting it all off within a couple minutes. "Well, it doesn't look like anything is wrong, other then it's broken...Your arm has swollen up some, which is normal. When you hit it, the sudden increase in pain might've been just too much with the bandage already tight." Eve said, looking it over.
"Okay. It's starting to feel better now, actually." She said. Eve nodded and said "Good. I'll wrap it back up then, but not as tight." It only took a couple minutes to do that and she said "Alright, there you go. How's that feel?"
"Good. Thanks, Mom!" Lilly said, smiling. Eve was too and said "You're welcome, honey! Just let me know if you need anything else." Lilly nodded and said "Okay. Sorry for waking you up..."
"No, it's fine...I was only taking a quick nap." She said, giggling. "Yeah, okay...Have you found out if your pregnant or not yet? I didn't think it took this long..." Lilly said. Eve smiled more and said "Well...Okay, don't tell Kate, but...Yes, I am!"
Lilly squealed in happiness and said "Mom, that's great!" Eve hugged her and said "I know, it is! We're having another baby!" Lilly laughed and said "Now I'm not the youngest anymore!"
"No, but you'll always be my baby. You and Kate both..." She said, letting her go. "I know, Mom...I'm so happy for you guys!"
"Thanks, honey! Like I said, don't tell Kate. We want to tell her ourselves." Eve said. Lilly nodded and said "I won't, don't worry."
"Okay. I'm gonna go and lay down a while longer. I'm still kinda tired." Eve said, yawning. Lilly smiled and said "Okay, see you in a little while then." Winston nodded and said "I am too. We'll see you guys for dinner."
"Bye, guys." Lilly said as they walked back upstairs to their room. Cody looked up at the clock and it was almost 2PM now. He sighed and said "I think I need to head home for a while."
"How come?" Lilly asked, turning to him. He smiled and said "Well, for one, I stink. I need a shower. And two, I've got stuff to do around the house before tonight."
"Oh...Well, I think I can manage for a few hours. You're coming back, right?" She asked. He nodded and said "Of course I am. I'll be back sometime this evening." She kissed him and said "Alright...I'll see you later then!"
He kissed her back and said "Yep! Bye, love." She smiled and said "Bye..." He got up and walked outside to his truck, getting in and driving off. She sadly sighed when he heard him pull away and said "It's only for a little while...I suppose I'll just watch TV then." She carefully laid back on the couch and picked up the remote, turning the TV on and flipping through the channels.
Meanwhile, over at the mall, Siara and Humphrey had been walking around for a couple hours now, just enjoying the day. She'd pulled him into a few clothing stores and, being a guy, he didn't really enjoy it. Then again, getting to see her in some cute outfits wasn't so bad!
After leaving the last store they went in where she bought some new pants and a couple shirts, they decided to have some lunch at the food court. They decided on pizza and were just finishing it.
"Well, that was pretty good!" Humphrey said, smiling. She was too and said "Yeah, it was. Still not as good as last night, though!" He chuckled and said "No, not anywhere close!"
She sat back and said "So, anywhere you wanna go here? I know I've been dragging you around all day..." He was about to say something when they heard someone behind them yell "Siara, Humphrey!" They turned around to see Kate and Sweets coming up to them.
"Oh, hey guys! Nice to see you here!" Siara said, smiling. Kate was too and said "Yeah, didn't think we'd find you guys here. So, what's up?"
"Not much, just been walking around all day. I bought some new clothes earlier." Siara said, showing them. Sweets giggled and said "Not surprising. You're always getting something new."
"Hey, I'm a girl...I can't help it." She said, putting the bag back down. Kate looked over and Humphrey and said "Why're you being so quiet? Normally you're the one who won't shut up." He laughed and said "Just letting you girls talk...Nothing I have to say about it."
"That's not what I remember when I was trying on bikini's!" Siara said, giggling. He blushed a little and said "I uh...Okay, I got nothing for that." They all laughed and Kate said "Shocking! So, what's going on with you two?"
"What do you mean?" Siara asked, sitting back down. She smiled and said "You know what I mean! Are you guys together or what?" Siara blushed a little and said "No...I mean, come on! We've only been out once!"
"Hey, it's okay. No need to get upset. I was only curious." Kate said. Siara smiled and said "I know, I'm not mad. Just saying is all..." Kate leaned down and whispered "I think you'd be crazy not to be with him!"
Siara blushed more and quietly said "Kate! We're not "together"...Yet." Kate giggled and said "Alright...Well, I've gotta head home now. Mom wants me to vaccum the living room and upstairs hallway."
"And I've gotta go home and study." Sweets said. Siara nodded and said "Okay, well, it was nice to see you guys again!" Kate nodded and said "Yeah, you guys too! We'll see you Monday, okay?"
"Sure! Later!" She said as they walked off. She turned to Humphrey, who'd been quiet for the last few minutes, and said "Well, that was interesting..." He smiled and said "Kinda. What was that she whispered to you?"
"Oh...Just girl stuff. You wouldn't get it." She said, smiling a little. He chuckled and said "Try me..."
"Alright then...She said that I'd...be crazy not to want to be with you." She quickly said, blushing. Humphrey was too a little and said "She...said that?" She nodded and said "Yeah..."
"Wow...What do you think of it?" He asked, a little confused. She shrugged and said "I...think she's right!" He blushed more and said "R-really!?"
"Yeah! You're a sweet, caring guy...I know most of the girls at school are always talking about you. I'm still amazed you wanted to go out with me of all the girls available." She said, smiling.
"Well, the reason I asked you and not anyone else is because I really like you. I'm not trying to sound weird or anything here, but I'd like to be more then just your friend." He said. She blushed and said "I was...kinda...thinking the same thing."
He smiled and said "So...where does that leave us?" She giggled a little and leaned closer to him, hoping he'd get the message, which he did. He leaned in too and they kissed real quick, both of them blushing.
"That was actually...pretty nice!" She said, turning her head away. He smiled and said "Yeah, it was, huh?" She giggled again and said "Do you feel like leaving yet?"
"If you do. Where do you wanna go?" He asked. She shrugged and said "How about back to my house?" He smiled and said "Sure! Now that I think about it, I've never been there even though we've all been friends for a long time."
"Well, I'll give you a little tour then!" She said, getting up. He did too and threw their garbage away before they started toward the exit. They got out to his car a few minutes later and got in. He started it and she said "You don't think we're going kinda fast, do you? I mean, we've only been on one date so far..."
"Personally, I don't think we are. Do you?" He asked, smiling. "I don't know, really...How about we go on one more sometime soon? Just see how things go." She said.
"That's sound great to me! When did you have in mind?" He asked, pulling out of the parking lot. She smiled and said "How about next Friday night?" He smiled too and said "Sounds good to me! Any place in particular?"
"Not really. I'm sure I'll love wherever we go." She said, giggling. He chuckled and they drove toward hers and Cody's house which was only a few minutes away. He had his paw on the shifter and she nervously laid hers on his, blushing. He smiled and looked over at her and she just blushed more and was smiling too.
They pulled up in front of the house a few minutes later and saw the Raptor was parking in the driveway. "Well, looks like Cody's home." She said. He smiled and said "Great, now he's gonna grill me..."
"No, he's not gonna do that." She said, giggling. He shut the car off and they got out, walking up to the door and going inside. "Cody, you home?" She called, but no answer. "Be right back." She said, walking down the hall to his room. His door was closed and she heard the shower going.
"Seems he's taking a shower. Come on, let's go to my room." She said, taking Humphrey's paw. He nervously smiled and followed her, walking into her bedroom behind her. She left the door open and they sat down on her bed.
"So, how long can you stay?" She asked, smiling. He looked at his watch and said "About an hour. I've got stuff at home I need to do today."
"Okay. You know, I really did enjoy that kiss..." She said, blushing again. He was too and said "I did too..." She blushed a little more and said "Want to...do it again?"
"I'd love to!" He said, smiling. She was too and they leaned into each other, connecting lips again, but for much longer. She closed her eyes and softly purred, enjoying it. They ended up almost making out for a few minutes until they broke apart. She slowly opened her eyes, saying "Wow..."
"My words exactly..." He quietly said, smiling at her. She softly giggled and "That was an amazing kiss!"
"I agree! You kiss as good as you look!" He said, making her blush again. "Aww! How sweet!" She said, kissing his cheek. About then, Cody was out of the shower and came down the hall to her room.
"Hey, I heard you come-" He started, stopping when he saw them kissing again. Siara pulled away and blushed, saying "Cody! It's uh...It's..." He chuckled and said "I'll come back later..." He walked off down the hall to his room, leaving them sitting in hers on the bed.
"Well...that was awkward." Humphrey said, smiling a little. Siara giggled and said "Yeah...I didn't expect him to be so calm, actually." He shrugged and said "Me either. I was expecting him to get upset."
Down in Cody's room, he was gathering up dirty clothes to wash from his floor. He wasn't upset at all seeing Siara and Humphrey kissing since he had a feeling they'd get together eventually.
He picked up his laundry basket and carried out toward the garage where the washing machine was, running into Humphrey in the hall. "Oh, hey. Not gonna kill me, are you?" Humphrey asked, smiling.
"Nope. As long as you don't do anything to hurt her." He said, smiling too. Humphrey chuckled and said "Alright, fair enough. You know I'm not going to, though."
"I know. Are you heading home?" He asked as they walked to the garage. "Yeah, I've gotta get home and take care of a few things." Humphrey said.
"Okay. Well, it was good to see you! Even though it was a little awkward for us all..." He said, putting his clothes in the machine. "Yeah, no kidding! Alright, well, I'll see you Monday!" Humphrey said, walking outside to his car.
Just after he pulled away, Siara came out to the garage. "Hey..." She said, blushing a little. "Hi, sis. What's the matter?" Cody asked, worried.
"Just...embarassed you saw that." She said, weakly smiling. He chuckled and said "It's cool, believe me. Sure, it was unexpected...But, it's fine."
"Okay...Thanks for understanding." She said, smiling more. He nodded and said "You're welcome. So, are you guys a couple now?"
"Well...I think so. I know I want to be with him, but I'm not sure he feels the same toward me." She said, unsure. He hugged her and said "He'd be crazy to feel any different. I'm sure he does..."
"Thanks, Cody...How come you're not over with Lilly? I figured you'd be moved out by now..." She said, laughing. He did too and said "No, we're not quite THAT far yet...She said she'll be okay for a couple hours tonight. I'll be going back later, though. Just wanted to get some stuff done around here."
"Okay. Oh, I put your homework from Friday on your desk. Nothing hard..." She said. He nodded and said "Thanks. What're your plans for the rest of the night?"
She shrugged and said "Nothing that I know of. Why do you ask?" He smiled and said "No reason, just curious. Hey, I've got an idea!"
"What?" She asked, smiling. "Why don't we go over to the airport later and check on the ol' girl?" He asked. Their parents had a 1982 Cessna 172 that they owned at the local airport. Cody or Siara would go check on it perodically to make sure nothing was damaging it and to run the engine for a few minutes to keep it in good shape.
"Yeah, sure! What're we ever going to do with it, though? Neither of us can fly it..." She asked. He shrugged and said "I can tell you right now we're not selling it. I will NOT let it go."
"No, I know we can't. Maybe rent it out?" She asked. "Maybe..." He said, thinking it over. About then, his phone started ringing. He pulled it out to see Lilly was calling him.
"Hi, babe! Everything okay?" He asked. "Yeah, it's all good. Just wanted to know if you wanted to watch a movie tonight." She said.
"Sounds great! Anything in mind?" He asked. "Well, I'm looking at the movies we can rent and that Act Of Valor is available." She said.
"Oh, awesome! I'd love to see it!" He said, smiling. She giggled and said "Great! What time are you coming back so I can rent it?"
"Probably around five or six. Siara and I are heading to the airport real quick." He said. "The airport? Something going on there?" She asked.
"No, not really. Our parents bought a small plane a few years ago. We go over to check on it sometimes." He said. She gasped and said "You guys have an airplane!?"
"Yeah, but we can't fly it. Neither of us have a licence." He said. "Hang on, I'll be right back!" She said, setting the phone down. "Uh...Okay..." He said, confused.
"What's the matter?" Siara asked. "I don't know. Lilly just set her phone down and ran off..." He said. A minute later she picked it back up and said "Still there!?"
"Yeah, what's going on?" He asked. "Here, talk to my dad." She said, giving him the phone.
"Cody?" Winston asked. "Yeah, I'm here. So, what's going on with Lilly? Are her pain meds making her loopy or something?" He asked, laughing.
"No, I don't think so...She told me something about an airplane?" He asked, chuckling. "Yeah, we've got on at the airport. Can't do anything with it, though." Cody said.
"You guys are going over there soon?" He asked. Cody nodded and said "Yeah, in just a few minutes."
"Good. I'll meet you there." He said, laughing. Lilly took the phone back and said "Oh my god, this is so cool!"
"What did you say?" He asked, smiling. "Oh...not much. Believe me, you guys are gonna be excited!" She said, giggling.
"Okay, love, I trust you. We're gonna head out now, okay?" He asked. "Sure! Love you!" She said. He smiled and said "I love you, too! See you in a while!" They hung up and Siara said "Okay, so what's going on?"
"No idea...Winston said he'll meet us there." Cody said, putting his phone away. "Well, best not keep him waiting." Siara said. He nodded and they went inside to the kitchen, getting the keys to the truck and walked out. They got in and he started it, saying "I'm kinda wondering what he's planning..."
Well, this is exciting! Who knew they inherited an airplane! How cool is that!? Sounds like Winston is thinking of something fun...Any idea what it may be? If you can give me the right answer in a PM or review, you'll get a spot in the next chapter provided you give me your first name!
