Author's Note: Well, it's been awhile, but now I have all the chapters uploaded for my other story so now I have time to post this too. HOpefully people haven't forgotten about it! I hope you enjoy it!
MIA:
That was the most romantic night of my entire life. Being serenaded by the most amazing boy in the entire world in front of my whole family, all of my friends, and a whole lot of strangers (including the press, my sworn enemy!), that is what I'm talking about.
I only told Lilly about the promise ring, and she seemed excited that I would eventually become her sister. But let's emphasize the eventually....Michael and I both needed to get through college (and well, I needed to finish high school, but that is just a minor detail!)
Weeks went by and Michael graduated. The night of his graduation was very...interesting to say the least.
We went to his friend Felix's cabin in upstate New York. I was a little nervous about going so far away from my mom when she was so close to having the baby. My mom encouraged me to go away since I wouldn't be seeing Michael for all of the month of July when I go to Genovia for a hands on Princess Lesson session.
"And if anything happens I'll just speed back down this way," Michael promised.
Don't get me wrong though, I was excited completely to get to go away with Michael and all of his friends. Plus, I get away from Princess Lessons for a weekend. Geez, he's the one graduating and I am the one getting the best present of all!
Speaking of presents, I gave him a palm pilot for graduation. Sure, not very romantic, but it was something, wasn't it?
Michael carried my bags from the car and asked Felix where to put them.
"Where you stayed last time."
"Both of us? What about Lars?"
"He told me that he would be staying at the inn in town."
"Oh, okay then." He smiled at me. We would get to sleep in the same bed for two whole nights without the chance of someone to walk in. Not that we'd be doing anything BAD, but still. Who knows....anything could happen.
We went swimming in the lake that the house was on. I noticed Michael give Felix and the others a look. "Hey, anyone in the mood to go into town? I kind of want a burger," Felix announced.
Real subtle. Really.
Michael and I went into the cabin with the others. I took a quick shower and Michael did the same when I finished. He walked into the room with only his towel on. I was surprised at first, but that definitely gave way to a totally different feeling. "Can you pass me my boxers?" he asked.
"What are you trying to do?" I asked.
"Get dressed. What are you trying to do? Catch a peek at my pecker?" he teased. He opened the towel and flashed me.
"MICHAEL!" I screamed, laughing.
"Hey, it's not a laughing matter," he said seriously. He stepped into his boxer shorts.
"Michael James Moscovitz, what in the world am I going to do with you?" I asked lying back in the bed.
He layed down next to me, "I could think of a few things you could do to me, but I highly doubt the dowager princess would approve of them."
I giggled and put my head on his chest. We talked a little more, but we soon fell asleep just like that. But when we woke up everyone was back, but asleep.
"Hey, Michael," I said, nudging him awake.
"What?" he snapped. He only was angry when he was woken up abruptly.
I tried not to smile, "I'm going to go for a swim, wanna come?"
"Mia, it's late."
"Fine. I'll go by myself."
MICHAEL:
She got up and I heard the back door open and close. I opened my eyes wide and jumped up. "Mia," I hissed out the window. She just turned and smiled mischievously.
She motioned for me to come out and join her. I rolled my eyes and ran out to the lake. By the time I got out there she was already in the water. "Do you have your bathing suit?" I asked.
"Nope."
I looked at the bench. She had folded her clothes neatly on the bench. I looked at her and noticed that her shoulders were completely bare. "Come in!" she yelled with a laugh.
I looked up at the heavens and slipped off my shorts. I ran into the water with her. "Mia, Mia, Mia. What am I going to do with you?"
"Love me," she whispered huskily.
She wrapped her legs around my waist. It took all of my will power to not allow myself to get excited. Then again, the water was too cold for anything to happen. "That won't be too hard," I said kissing her.
We stayed in the water, kissing and laughing for a few more minutes and then ran back to shore and threw on our clothes. Well, I threw on my boxers, she threw on clothes.
When we returned to our room I jumped under the covers quickly. It was still early in the season and I was freezing. "Michael?" she asked.
"Yeah?" I asked.
"Remember a few months ago, before we got together, we talked about how unfair it was for guys to get to walk around half naked and not girls?"
"Vaguely," I replied, interested to see where she was going with this topic.
"Well," she started as she took off her tank top. "I don't think it's fair that you get to sleep in your underwear and I don't."
I smiled. I definitely liked where this was going. "And you want to take a stand on this topic?" I guessed.
She smiled, "Of course I do. Do you mind?"
"Not at all Princess," I said with open arms. She jumped onto the bed and cuddled up to me.
"I love you."
"I love you too, Michael."
"Guys, Mia's step dad just called!" Felix announced, bounding into the room the next morning.
I jumped up, "What?"
"Oh, uh, I-I just answered the phone call from Mr. Gianni. I- I guess I can wait for you guys to get dressed-er... changed. Ah, hell, I'm sorry guys."
Mia burst out laughing. "Wait. Mr. G called? Th-That means that my mom...my mom is having the baby! Oh my God!"
I have never seen her get dressed so quickly as she did that morning. And I have never gotten dressed so quickly either.
I sped back into the city in Felix's car. I promised I would be back that night with the car and to drive them back into the city.
I waited with Mia in the family room of the hospital Mr. G was in the delivery room with her mother. I don't know why, but I was getting nervous too. Miss Thermopolis had been in labor for awhile now. At least four hours. Mia had told me that when her mom had her, it took exactly one hour.
I left to get us some veggie burgers after another two hours. Mia was terrified that something was going wrong. When I came back I saw Mia and Mr. G hugging and smiling. She turned to me. And then she ran into my arms, a great feat considering I was holding the food as well.
"I'm a big sister!"
"Welcome to the older siblings club!" I joked. I couldn't wipe the smile off of my face. She looked so happy.
She pulled back from me. "I'm glad you are here with me, Michael. It's going to be so much fun having the baby around!"
