Chapter 25

Family Fun

ElectricCircuslover:Sorry this took longer than expected but I've had some trouble. I'm on the road of recovery with a few speed bumps here and there. Chapter 26 is also short, too.

I took good care of Stitch for the week I had him. I had a lot of fun with him, and I would miss him so dearly to my heart.

I sat on the couch, cradling him in my arms, feeling like I was going to sob when he was laughing while playing with my antennae, as Jumba was busy creating the formula to bring Stitch back to his adult self.

"I'm going to miss you," I poked his nose with my right antennae, who grabbed it and starting sucking on with a big smile on his face. It was so heartbreaking that my eyes were starting to tear up from all this bottled up emotion I had inside the pit of my stomach.

"I'll miss you baby Stitch," I told him softly and sadly.

"You're really attached to him," Spring told me, sitting on the right side of me, while Lilo took the left.

"Ih. It's like I'm getting rid of my very first baby for good," I told her sadly, starring down at his precious eyes.

"I'm really sorry to hear that Angel," Lilo apologized, "You'll have a baby very soon and you'll never get rid him or her like this. They'll be around forever. I'm sure you want to have Stitch back, don't you?"

"Ih."

"If you want a baby, you and Stitch have to make a letter the stork and the stork will bring you a baby. You can't do that without Stitch, right?"

"Ih," I replied, playing stupid, "You're right, Lilo. I have to face it. Stitch is right here, nobody else. Stitch can't stay this way forever no matter how much I love the way he is. I'm just going to miss him so darn much."

"Just look forward to having your own children with Stitch. You've dreamed for this for so long. Don't blow it now," Spring tried cheering me up.

"I know," I sighed.

"Jumba has finally created antidote to Experiment 151's baby-effect," Jumba walked into the room with a bottle of this brown stuff in it, "Time for little tikeling 626 to take his medicine," Jumba tried pulled out my antennae from his mouth and tried putting the bottle in Stitch's mouth, who pushed it away from him.

"Let me give it to him," I told him.

"Here, 624," Jumba handed me the bottle.

"Time for your last meal," I told him, beginning to choke.

"Mama," he said with tiny happy voice, grabbing the bottle and started drinking out of it.

"He called me mama," I began to cry, "He called me mama!" I cried out happily, letting out a waterfall from my eyes.

Shortly, a swirl of coloreds surrounded Stitch (just like the Babyfier episode), turning the baby I loved very much into the adult I missed so much. Once he did become an adult, I accidentally dropped him, due to the weak strength that plagued me ever since my creation.

When he fell to the floor, I pounced on him, kissing him all over his face with pure joy.

"Did you miss me?" He chuckled

"All seven days you were a baby. I'm going to miss your baby self, but I'm going to have one that is part of both of us," I hugged him after we got off the floor.

"You're crushing me, Angel," 625 complained, which I let up on the hug.

"He's still in there? This is only going to delay baby training," Stitch complained.

"He should be out in a few more days. This may be his last day inside my belly-space or early tomorrow morning. You do know where you're going to be stored for the remainder of the two days, right?" I asked him, looking down at my large belly. "Yeah," he sighed, "It starts with a 'B' and ends with 'UTT.' I'm going to be even more cramped than I am now. I don't think I'll even be able to move," 625 complained.

"It'll go by fast," I told him.

"How did Angel take care of Stitch? Was she good or bad?" Stitch asked our three 'judges,' which he was surprised to see Spring.

"She was perfect," Lilo gave a thumbs up.

"624 was unseparible from you. She gave gave you 115.5 of parental love and care," Jumba agreed.

"Angel was just like a real mother to her baby," Spring smiled.

"Why's Spring here?" Stitch turned to me, giving me a confused look.

"She's going to live us now," I answered him.

"That's giood. Where will she sleep?:

"I can't sleep. I"m dead. I I"m up 24/7. Don't worry, I won't bother anybody if they're busy or sleeping," Sjpring assured.

"That's good," Stitch agreed.

"Are you hungry, Stitch? I learned how to make pancakes, sunny-side eggs, and some other things. I also learned a lot about Earth, thanks to Lilo and Nani. I feel so...Human now" I told him happily.

"That's really great to hear, Angel. Oh, don't mind cooking anything for me right now. I'm not hungry. I've noticed that your fur is coming back," he noticed, which surprised me actually.

"I never noticed it. I should be back to my pink self in a week or two. I hope my fur grows back to the way it used to be before the Edmond's come back. I'm pretty sure they don't want to have a naked dog on their premisous," I licked him.

"I forgot about that. It's going to be hard to devide my time between you and Lilo," Stitch lowered his ears.

"I want you to be with Lilo. I want you to spend more time with her than me. You're making her sad because you spend more time with me than her. We're both not going anywhere anytime soon."

"But,but I love you. I want to spen a lot of time with you.You're my bugee bu, family, and future. What if Gantu tries to take you away from me again?"

I sighed, "He won't attempt to try to capture me anymore. He's tired of losing me, taking care of me, and he is sick of the constant yelling from Hamsterviel about me. So, I'm perfectally fine. Plus, Lilo's family, too. You have to treat her as if she was me. I want people to feel at home with me here, not hate me. I need a some breathing room anyways, even if I love you and all."

Stitch sighed and looked at the smiling Lilo, "You're right. I promised to protect her and treat her fair, no matter what the cause was. I'm not being fair; and crowding you is neglecting my duties I've promised to her. I couldn't bear with myself if I something happened to her and I wouldn't know what I would do if I lost you, too," he turned to me.

"I think we should go out and have some fun as a family. Maybe we can go to the beach and get some fresh air," I proposed.

"That would be great! I'm going to tell, Nani!" Lilo hopped off the couch and ran off into the hallway.

A few minutes later, Lilo came back with pure joy on her face, "We're going to the beach! Nani's gathering all the things right now. I'm going to get my bathing suit!" She ran off again with Jumba fallowing.

"I didn't expect everyone to be so enthusiasiic about this," I told my self, walking into the hallway to my room, "I can finally try out my bikinies," I told Stitch happily.

"Ooh, I can't wait to see you in them," the rubbed his paws together.

('If only that stupid 625 wasn't in there. Sigh, I hope he gets out of her stomach and into her rear. At least I won't have to see that gut or hear his irritating voice," Stitch thought)

"Are you going to swim, that's if you can anyways?" Stitch wondered.

"Sure. I'm a good swimmer. In fact, I float. I think I'll mostly relax on a beach chair, though. Are you going to swim with me?" I asked him, entering our room.

"You know I hate water. Plus, I can't even swim. My molecular density is too great, therefore, I sink like a ship with a hole in it," Stitch complained, which wasn't surprising, really.

"I'll wrap my antennae around your shoulders and keep you up. I'll make sure you'll be close to me, so I'll be there if anything starts to happen. Okay?" I assured, rapping my antennae around his waist and pulled him into a passionate kiss.

"I guess I can swim with you," he broke off, putting on a dopey smile.

As I grabbed my pokadot braw and pink bikini, putting them on after setting my necklace, on my dresser, making sure that I wouldn't lose it at the beach. Once situated, we left our room, grabbing a few towels before heading into the living room, finding a big red cooler in front of the couch.

"Do you have any beach chairs so I could relax?" I asked Nani, who was putting things into the cooler.

"Sure, I'll grab a few," she smiled, putting a few last things into the cooler, before leaving.

Once she walked out of the room, my stomach was starting to growl, but I wasn't hungry at all.

"ANGEL!! SOMETHINGS HAPPENING IN MMM!!" 625 panicked, getting cut off from my belly-space's walls, actually making his whole form into my waist area. He tried moving it appeared to be and his body was slowly going down, getting pushed farther inward as he went down, until the belly I've been carrying for a week vanished, giving me my thin waist again. Thank goodness, it was humiliating to look like that. I try to ignore what people say the best as I can, and I do a very good job at it, too.

"Well, I'm thing again," I shrugged, "I fell a lot of pressure in my patookie, but it doesn't bother me that much. I don't feel very much movement from him. I almost feel sorry for him, but he'll be out in two more day," I noted.

Nani came back with the chair, surprised to see me back to my old self. Of course, everybody kept asking and such, but I cleared it up. I would hear a continuous "ewe" from them, but facts are facts.

"Is everybody ready?" Nani called out.

"Yeah!" We all called out and ran to the green jeep.

It didn't take long for us to make it to the beach. Stitch and I got out of the jeep and helped Nani take out the stuff. If was only fair that we helped since she brought us here to have fun and unwind.

After setting up 'camp' on the beach, I grabbed some glasses that resembled the ones I used on 'the day,' put on some sub block, and just relaxed on the beach chair.

"It's just like the day I fallowed you around town and found you at the beach. Remember that day?" Stitch said happily, sitting on the sand next to me.

"Please don't make me remember that day," I told him casually.

"Okay," Stitch sighed.

I looked over at Stitch, who was building something out of the sand. He looked really cute playing in the sand with Lilo. Nani was surfing, Pleakley was busy picking up seashells, and Jumba was too busy getting some sun in. It was calm and peaceful with the people chatting and kids laughing.

I don't know how long I was lounging for but, swimming was starting to feel like something interesting to do for awhile. Stitch however, was making a row of sand castles at me. I smiled, but in the back of my head, I was rolling me eyes. Don't get me wrong, I love him to death, but he takes things to far sometimes.

"Those look good, Stitch," I complimented him.

"Tanka," he replied, giving me a warm and friendly smile.

"I'm going to go for a swim for awhile, do you want to join me?" I asked him. After all, he was alone, since Lilo went with Nani to surf. I don't blame her at all for leaving him. All he kept making was me, and only me. I'm going to have to talk to him some more and be a little bit thorough about it this time.

He paused for a moment, looking at the sea, back at me, back to the sea, and back to me, "I'll go with you," he made a nervous smile, looking unsure.

We ran to the water, after I took off the sunglass, and made a splash into the water, well I did anyways. Stitch stared down at the water coming up and down to his feet on the beach sand.

I walked over to him, tied my antennae around his shoulders, and made them tight enough were they wouldn't untie themselves.

"You're safe now. See," I assured, pulling on to them.

"Are you sure you'll keep me safe?"

"Of course I will. I love you too much for you to shut down. I promise, you'll be safe with me."

"Okay," he started walking slowly into the water, until I was floating on the water. Stitch however, had to be kept up. We swam around for awhile, until we got bored and went back to playing in the sand.

We had a lot of fun on the beach. I went surfing with Nani for the first time, which I might add that I'll never do ever again. Now that's on my 'to be scared from' list. Lilo, Stitch, and I chased each other on the beach. We made sandcastles, buried each other under sand, swam for awhile, played volley ball with some people. I accidentally popped the ball and ruined the fun. I blame myself for that one. I shouldn't of had my claws out. We did all sorts of things. It was a real family bonding experience. In my opinion, we needed that so that the family could get used to me a little more. Plus, I wanted Lilo, Stitch, and I to do more together before. If I'm going to be a resident of this household I've been blessed with, then it is fair that we all get equal rights regardless of preferences.

The sun was starting to set and it was clearly time for us to go before the dreaded misquitoes came out. All of us, with the exception of Pleakley and Jumba were all wet from the water at the beach. It was a real swell time, and I was so glad to be part of it. We all thanked Nani who cheerfully gave us a welcome reply. You know, she's been a lot nicer to since the first time we met. Though, first impressions can be hard under the circumstances that she has to live with.

By the time we got home, it was nighttime. Nani didn't bother to take the stuff out, but she wanted to at least take the cooler out of the Jeep and leave the rest for her take care of tommorow morning. It was the same routine. We cleaned up, I cleaned my teeth, wore a green muumuu, and put the A.N.D. back in my ear, from which I kept on my bed after I woke up. I didn't want to take any chances on getting it wet from Stitch's transformation back to adult form.

When we finally finished everything up, somebody knocked onto the door. Nani answered it before me. It was yet, another pizza boy.

"I guess we're having pizza tonight…Again," I sighed, walking into the kitchen.

We ate a plentiful dinner and watched some scary movies afterwards. Stitch and I decided to go to bed earlier, so we so-called planned. Before we actually went to bed, we did our thing. We were interrupted a few times by Lilo, but thank goodness she didn't see what they were doing. I could only imagine what was 625 thinking right now, he, he, he.

(Don't worry. They fed 625 hotdogs and for drinking they had a long straw for getting fluids.)
