Greetings everyone, Here is chapter 25 of "The Photograph"

I like to thank acosta pèrez josè ramirofor the review. And on his last name, look up "the jungle movie" Craig Bartlett had planned for a second movie which would continue from "The Journal" and in the movie we would find out about Arnold's parents, his last name and Arnold andHelga finally realize their feelings. There are a number of fans out there trying to convince Nickelodeon to get Craig Bartlett back and continue Hey Arnold. It makes me mad to see Nickelodeon cancel their best shows like "Angry Beavers", "Invader Zim", and "Rocko's Modern Life" But from what I've seen "Hey Arnold" has already been canceled on Nick and is disappearing on Nicktoon TV.

I also like to thank the other readers for reading this story, I hope you enjoy this chapter.

Well anyway enough of my bickering, on with the story.

Hey Arnold

"A picture's worth a thousand words"

Chapter 25

Everyone was quite, waiting for what Arnold had to say. Arnold looked at all the faces looking at him, he almost came down with stage fright, but some how he managed to keep himself together. "First I like to start with thanking everybody for coming to this party, and especially our friends from California" he gestured to his friends. "Okay now for what I called this party for in the first place," He gave a subtle signal to Helga and she walked to his side and he held her hand. "Helga and I are engaged to be married." Everyone clapped some because it was only proper. "Wait there's more," everyone went silent again, he glanced and Helga who nodded at him. "Helga and I are going to be parents." By this time everyone's jaws dropped. Arnold chuckled a little and smiled. "Yeah that was my reaction at first too." Lila couldn't help but feel a little heart broken at the news.

Angelica raised a hand. "Yeah Angelica?" She lowered her hand and cleared her throat. "When is the baby due?" Arnold glanced to Helga then she spoke up. "The due date is March 6th." Several others asked various questions and Helga and Arnold answered what they could. Just then Miles and Stella came in to the living room. "Arnold, me and your mom just want to say…" Then He grabbed a small rope and Stella reached for a small rope too, they pulled at the same time. A sign unfolded that read 'Congratulations Arnold and Helga'. "Thanks dad." Arnold said shaking his hand. "Thanks Stella." Helga said hugging Stella. "Please call me mom." Helga smiled "Thanks…mom." They hugged a little longer before pulling away.

Then Stella and Miles stood by each other in front of Helga. "Helga," said Miles. "Yeah?" Miles and Stella smiled at each other then back to Helga. "Helga, let me be the first one to welcome you into our family" Helga smiled and she felt for the first time that she was part of a real family for once. Arnold walked up to her. "Welcome home Helga." Arnold and Helga hugged each other tightly and kissed each other. When Helga pulled away and starred into his face, she loved that smile of his. "I love you football head." "And I love you." He said back to her. Then they turned to the crowd of friends before them, Helga held up her hand to show the engagement ring for everyone to see. Some of the girls came up to look at it and then the guys came up to Arnold to congratulate them each.

Sid Stinky and Harold walked up to Arnold. "Hey Arnold, we're sorry for not believing you about Helga." Said Sid for the group. "Its okay guys, if I were in your position I wouldn't have believed it either." Stinky stepped forward. "I reckon Gerald will be the best man right Arnold?" "I suppose Stinky, but you'll still be a groomsman." "Thanks Arnold, and I like to with you two good luck" "Thanks Stinky" They continued to chat more meanwhile Rhonda was telling Helga about some fashionable wedding dresses. "So Helga you have to try out this place I know, they have the most fabulous dresses, you'll just love them." Helga was mostly looking in Arnold's direction. "Uh huh." Rhonda became upset. "Helga you're not even listening to me." Helga snapped out her trance and looked at Rhonda. "Sorry Rhonda, what where saying about that place?" Rhonda proceeded to tell her more about the store.

Angelica was now just walking around saying to people when she noticed some sitting down by the wall, slumped over a little. She wondered why this person was so down and decided to ask. So she walked over to her. "Excuse me, mind if I sit down?" The girl just nodded. "You look upset, any reason?" She just glanced up at her. "My names Angelica, what's yours?" Angelica asked. "Lila" she said softly. "So Lila, why so glum?" Lila looked up at the crowd. "It's Arnold." Angelica could tell where this was going. "Were you two…?" Lila nodded. "When?" "For a short while in 4th grade and in 5th grade, but nothing ever came of it. Then in high school I started dating Stinky." Lila pointed Stinky out to Angelica. "Do you love him?" Asked Angelica. "Yeah don't get me wrong I love Stinky, Its just…" Lila drifted off.

"I could never see what he liked in her or still likes in her. He did like me, like me once." Angelica thought for a moment. "Well Lila, from what I know, those two have a special connection to each other that can't be explained, that no one can brake. Also they seem like they were meant for each other and what's meant to be will always find a way." Lila felt there was truth in what she said. "And if you really care for someone, you would want them to be happy no matter what your feelings." Lila seemed to cheer up a little. "Thanks Angelica that helps." "Your welcome" Angelica said as she started to stand up but stopped when Lila spoke up. "Angelica, how do you know so much?" Asked Lila. Angelica turned to her. "I run this advice website where I listen to others problems and help them out. I had a similar case about a month ago where this guy loved this girl, but she loved someone else, and no matter what he did, he couldn't change it." Lila nodded. "I see, well thanks again Angelica." She walked off. "No problem" said Angelica, mostly to herself.
