Inside

Once Andros and Zhane were inside, they went into the kitchen to find Karone starting their dinner by herself.

Zhane walked over to the counter where Karone was and greeted his girlfriend giving a qick kiss on the cheek.

"Well hello to you too," Karone greeted back.

"Hey Karone, where's Ashley," Andros asked his sister, a bit surprised that his girlfriend was not in the kitchen helpingher prepare their dinner like she normally does.

"She didn't feel to well; I think she was a bit dizzy or light headed maybe, so she went outside in the back for some fresh air," she told her brother, not wanting to give Ashley's little secret away or worry him to much.

Andros couldn't hide the concern that he had. It was written all over his face. 'I wonder what's wrong; I hope she's ok; I can't lose her,' he thought to himself.

Andros had not realizing that Karone and Zhane could flat out see the distress on hi face. It was that obvious.

"I'm sure she's fine Andros, don't worry so much," she said once she noticed the worry look on his face.

Zhane instantly knew that Karone knew something she wasn't telling them, but he would just have wait until Andros left before he mentioned anything.

Andros looked over at his sister and nodded, not noticing the look on Zhane's face. He was just hoping that his sister was right, but he knew that he needed to go and find out for himself before he was really reassured.

"Ya man, why don't you go find her and see what's up," Zhane suggested as he winked at him.

Karone looked at her boyfriend skeptically. She had noticed the gesture Zhane had given her brother, and was beginning to think the two of them were up to something.

Andros just glared at him, knowing exactly what he was implying. Ashley might be sick and Zhane expected him to propose to her now.

Zhane shrugged.

Andros sighed and then left the kitchen to go find Ashley.

"What was that about," Zhane and Karone said in union once Andros was out of hearing range.

"What are YOU talking about," they both once again said in union.

"ME," they did it again.

Karone sighed. This was getting them absolutely nowhere, and she knew that Zhane would just continue with it if she didn't stop it first.

"Well what was that wink you gave my brother just now," Karone flat out asked her boyfriend.

"It was an encouragement," he simply replied, obviously not knowing if he should tell her the truth or not.

"For what," she demanded, knowing that he was just trying to stall and she didn't like it to much.

Zhane sighed, admitting defeat. He already knew he was going to lose this battle. He could never win against her. It didn't really bother him all that much, though; he actually loved her for it.

"He is planning on proposing to her today or at least I hope he is; for some odd reason he is all nervous that she might say no or something; I say he's thinking about it too much if you ask me," he confessed.

Karone was a bit shocked, but not all that surprised. A smile had soon appeared on her face.

"This is perfect," she exclaimed.

"I think you lost me," Zhane said, confused.

'He better ask her right now, there isn't a better time to do it than now; and how could he even think that she would say no; of course she would say yes," Karone though out loud, which confused Zhane even more.

"Hello, I am definitely still very lost over here; what are you talking about, and what is going on; you have to tell me" Zhane really wanted to know. The suspense was killing him.

"Ashley pregnant," she admitted.

They both were silent for a moment.

"No way," was all Zhane said.

Karone nodded.

"See what I mean, it would be perfect if he asks her to marry him before she tells him that she's pregnant," she said.

"Actually I don't see what you mean," Zhane admitted. "Why does it matter who goes first? They both have to tell the other something they're definitely going to be happy to hear."

"Ya but the problem is Ashley was afraid that Andros might not think they're ready to have a baby quite yet since they aren't married or even engaged at the moment," she told him.

"My gosh they are so alike; of course he's be happy, even if he wasn't going to propose," he stated.

I know," she sighed.

They were both quiet until Zhane broke the silence.

"So did Ashley get those papers," he asked.

"Ya, why,' she responded.

"We could go look at them," he suggested evilly.

"ZHANE," Karone exclaimed.

Well how was this chapter. The next one will be all about Ashley and Andros. I'll try to write it soon; it all depends on if Hurricane Katrina makes my power got out or not. Just hope that it doesn't.
