(((A/N-- Good Lord! You people are so impatient! Just kidding...I get that way too when I read ya'lls stories. Well...here we go! Oh, by the way...I'm going to try to finish this story up in the next chapter, so....on with the show (This chapter's short, so sorry!)
By the way again, Jeremiah is living with Lilly. Ok, I'm done now. Bye!)))
Lilly pounded on the front door. Michael groaned and rolled over Mia to answer it.
"Hey Lil—oof!" Michael got the breath knocked out of him when Lilly threw her arms around him and started squealing.
"I was so worried! I thought you were dead! I didn't know what to do! MIA!" She yelled as she saw Mia standing by the sofa. She ran over and jumped on Mia so hard that she knocked Mia over. "Oh my god! Are you okay? I was so scared! I'm sorry I didn't fight for you!"
Lilly went on, alternating between screaming, yelling, squealing, crying, and laughing, for an hour and a half. Finally she calmed down after Michael got her a Coke.
"So..." Mia said moving her finger around the rim of her coffee mug. "What's going on with Jeremiah?" Lilly blushed.
"He's fine. He's a little stiff, but he's up and moving around. He's practically back to normal. I'm really glad he's back, I—I missed him." Lilly smiled into her glass and took a drink.
"And..." Michael urged her. He sat in the corner of the couch with his arm around Mia. He ran his fingers over her shoulders, and every so often he felt her shudder.
"We're engaged." Lilly whispered. Mia smiled and threw her free arm around Lilly. They hugged and giggled, then Lilly hugged Michael and sat down.
"Oh I'm so excited Lilly! You're getting married!" Mia giggled. They discussed wedding plans until late that night, when Lilly decided to leave. Michael had been taking a shower when he came out to find Lilly gone.
"Lilly left already huh?" He asked sitting on the couch and wrapping his arms around Mia.
"Yeah." She responded absently.
"Something on your mind?" Michael asked softly nibbling on her ear.
"Yes—No—I don't know." She sighed and leaned onto him. "Michael I'm so confused."
"About what babe?" Michael stroked her back to calm her down. She shivered, so Michael pulled a blanket off the back of the sofa and wrapped it around them.
"Lilly asked me to be her maid of honor." Mia snuggled up to Michael.
"That's not going to work." Michael said, reaching over the back of the sofa and grabbed a bowl of popcorn.
"Why not?" Mia asked defensivly. Michael offered her the popcorn and she took a hand full. Something cold and hard slid through her fingers and fell into her lap. She picked it up and her eyes widened. She threw the popcorn up into the air and jumped around to face Michael.
"Are you—You've gotta be—OMIGOD!" She squealed. Michael took the ring from her and plucked a piece of popcorn out of her hair.
"Mia? Marry me?" Mia laughed and tears filled her eyes as she nodded yes. Michael slid the ring onto her finger. Mia threw her arms around his neck and held onto him for the longest time. Michael kissed her forehead and whispered.
"I love you Mia."
