"Hey Delia, what do you want for lunch?" Amy asked after she heard Delia's stomach rumble.

Delia went to the freezer and opened it. She looked around and then took out a bag.

"Meatballs" she said with a smile.

"Okey"

Some hours later, about 6pm Andy came through the door with two brown paper bags in his hand.

"Dad!" Delia shouted and hugged her father.

"Hey!" He said and kissed her cheek. "How was your day?" He asked and smiled.

"Great! We played cards and watched a movie, and Amy promised that we'd go to the zoo tomorrow, and you and Ephram have to come too" She replied cheerfully.

"Sounds great!" Then he turned to Amy. "Hey, thank you! Was she any trouble?" He said with a smile

"Oh no! Not at all, she was a total doll" Amy said and smiled back at him.

"Well, anyway, thanks" He said and went to the kitchen and put the paper bags on the counter.

"What's that dad?" Delia asked.

"This, is Italian take out, you know, from Roberto's" He said and started to set the table.

"Let me help you" Amy said and was about to take the plates from him

"No, no, you have done too much already" he said and gently pushed her away. Just then Ephram came home.

"Hey, Ephram, just in time" Andy said.

"Hey" He said and kissed Amy after she greeted him. "what are we having, and most importantly, who's cooking it?" Ephram said after he saw his father set the table.

"We're having Italian, from Roberto's" Delia said and sat down by the table.

"Wow dad, you've outdone yourself once again" He said and took Amy by her hand and sat her down beside him.

"Ephram, give him a break already" Amy said and squeezed his hand. Ephram sighed.

"Yeah, you're right, sorry dad, I just didn't have the best day."

"That's alright son, and Amy, we should have you around more often" Andy said with a smile.

-After dinner-

"Hey Amy, let's go out" Ephram said and walked towards the door.

"What do you mean out?" Amy asked suspiciously.

"I mean, out, like in, out of the house" he said and smiled.

"Okey, well, let me just help your dad take care of the dishes first." She said and headed to the kitchen.

"No, no! You go out with Ephram now, besides, there isn't really anything to be taken care of, it's just four plates." Andy said and padded her on her shoulder.

"You sure?" she asked

"Yeah, he's sure" Ephram said and took her hand.

"Ephram, twelve o'clock!" Andy shouted after them.

"Sure, sure" Ephram murmured and walked out, holding Amy's hand.

The night was warm and clear. Ephram took Amy to a little café just a few blocks away. They sat down by a little table by the window. It wasn't many people there, just Amy, Ephram and about five others.

"Wow, this place is cute" Amy said after they ordered two ice-creams.

"Yeah, well. actually, it's quite new, it opened just before we left. I only got a chance to visit it once." Ephram replied

"Two ice creams, one strawberry-vanilla, one chocolate" The waitress said as she put down the two desserts.

"Thanks" they both said at the same time. The waitress smiled at them and walked away.

"So, what's wrong?" Amy suddenly asked.

"What? What makes you think that something's wrong?" Ephram asked surprised.

"well, you told your dad that you 'didn't have the best day'" Amy answered.

"Oh, naah, it's just, Fred-" Ephram started

"who's Fred?" Amy said, cutting him off

"Oh, just one of my friends" He answered

"Okey, I'm with you. Go on"

"He made a girl pregnant"

"Oh gosh, well, it was his girlfriend, I hope" Amy asked.

"No."

"A single guy makes a girl pregnant." Amy said and sighed.

"Well, he's not actually single"

"But you said-" Amy suddenly got it and stopped. Ephram nodded.

"Yeah, his girlfriend didn't take it good"

"So.?"

"She obviously broke up with him, and he's like, super depressed." Silence filled the air, neither could think of anything to say until Ephram finally spoke.

"He'll pull through okey, he's really strong"

"Are you sure you don't want to talk about it some more?" Amy asked.

"Yeah, I'm sure. I just want to spend time with you right now" He said and smiled.

"me too" Amy said and smiled back at him.

"Let's go" Ephram said and took her hand. He paid the waitress and they started to walk. They had walked quite a while, just enjoying the silence when Ephram suddenly remembered to look at the watch.

"It's 11.40, we got to get back" Ephram said calmly. Amy nodded and by the time they got back to the house it was five to twelve. Andy and Delia had already gone to bed, for some time now.

"We made it" Ephram whispered.

"Yeah, lucky us" Amy whispered back with a smile.

Both Ephram and Amy had changed into their pyjamas and were ready to go to sleep. Amy was sitting on her bed putting away her comb, just as finished combing her hair. Suddenly Ephram appeared in the door.

"Can I sleep with you?" Ephram said in an innocent tone. Amy gave a little laugh

"huh?"

Ephram smiled and walked towards her. She laid on her back and Ephram appeared just over her head. He leaned in and kissed her. The kiss was more passionate than he first intended to, but he soon found himself deepened it even more. Now he was on top of her, and Amy slowly started to unbutton her pyjamas, reviling her snow-white bra. She slid Ephram's t-shirt off, breaking the kiss for a brief moment. Ephram helped Amy take her pants off and it was in this moment he realized what was happening. He stopped.

"Amy, are you sure?" he asked

Amy smiled. This was like she had always imagined it would be, maybe not with Ephram, but with a guy that made her heart skip a beat, every time she saw him. She couldn't deny that Ephram was that guy. She nodded.

"Yeah, I'm sure" Ephram smiled and leaned in to continue, when Amy stopped him.

"Are YOU sure?" she asked.

Ephram smiled and nodded.

"I've never been so sure in my life" with that Amy pulled out a little piece of plastic from her bag, right next to her bed.

"protection" she explained. Ephram sighed. Now this was a turn off. "Did we learn NOTHING from Fred?" she asked and smiled. Ephram took it

After the last clothing was gone from their bodies Ephram started to kiss Amy on her neck. She moaned quietly. Ephram started to kiss her on her collar bone, wich made Amy moan even more in content.

The night slid by quick and the morning brought endless sunshine. Amy groaned as the sun hit her sleepy eyes. She looked to her left, and there was Ephram, sound asleep. Amy smiled and thought back at last night. Everybody had said that it would hurt the first time, but it hadn't, not even a bit. It had been perfect. She gently shook Ephram's shoulder.

"Wake up sunshine" she said and kissed him on his cheek. Ephram opened his eyes. Amy smiled at him brightly "Come on, we're going to the zoo today"

END.

There you go guys, what did you think? I really didn't expect my 1 chap. Story to develop to a nine chap. story. I just want to take some time to thank you all for the WONDERFUL feedback! Really, I LOVE you for giving it too me, I truly didn't think that you guys would like it so much=) again, THANKS! Well, okey, anyway, schools out for the summer *yay!* That would give me so much time to write so much more stories, BUT I'm not gonna. 'cus I've come to realize that writing fiction isn't really anything for me, I'm more of a reader. So therefore I'm gonna leave it to the pros ('cus there really are some really talented writers here!) I may write some short little fics though, 'cus ideas pop into my head all the time! (you know what I mean) but we'll see. Anyway, thanks once again, and have a nice summer! (I will, I'm going to Australia!) P.S. it would be really cool of you to say what your favourite Everwood fic is, I'd really like to read them=)
