Inside

(With Karone & Zhane)

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

"Ya, why,' she responded.

"We could always go look them over a bit," he suggested evilly. The suspense was really killing him.

"ZHANE," Karone exclaimed sharply. 'Typical Zhane, so impatient about everything,' she thought to herself.

"What," he asked innocently.

Karone sighed as she shook her head, trying to convince Zhane that this wasn't a very good idea at all. "We can't do that you know; it's not for us to look at," she told him, firmly.

"And why not; just a little peek, you know you want to find out if your going to get a niece or a nephew; don't you sweetie," he said, trying to persuade his girlfriend to give in.

"Well… I guess just one little peek really wouldn't hurt any," Karone said, finally caving in.

"Yes," Zhane exclaimed, happy that he finally was able to convince her to give in to his idea.

"They don't even have to find out; I mean, they're most likely to stay out there for a while," he told her.

Then he went into the living room to see if he can find where Ashley had set down the yellow folder.

Karone followed after him a moment later. She could not believe that he actually managed to get through to her. Zhane never won. She sighed as she walked out of the kitchen.

Once she was in the living room, she saw that Zhane had found exactly what he was looking for, and was heading towards the couch. She shook her head at Zhane's pleased expression.

They both sat down next to each other on the large couch in the center of their living room.

"You know my brother's going to kill you if he finds out what we're doing," she pointed out.

"He won't find out sweetie; don't worry," he responded, as he was about to open the folder.

"I still don't know about this Zhane," Karone said before he had the chance to open it, still a bit unsure about the whole thing. She wanted to know what it said inside just as badly as him, but she still didn't like this idea of his.

She just didn't feel right about knowing all this personal stuff about her older brothers and best friend's baby before the expecting parents did. It wasn't their place to know right know, and she did not want to invade their privacy.

"Relax Karone we're just opening a folder, not planning a mask murder," he said, as he laughed.

Karone just glared at him before hitting his shoulder lightly. Zhane always has a funny, yet childish way of looking at things like this. He can always make a joke out of almost anything.

"Ouch," he wined, holding his shoulder.

"You're such a baby," she said to him.

"Am not," he protested stubbornly.

Karone sighed. "Just open it."

Zhane did exactly what she said without hesitation.

What they saw on the first page was so shocking that the two of them were too stunned to even speak They were not expecting that at all.

Zhane was the first to speak. "Do you see…

"O ya," Karone responded eventually.

They were so bewildered at what they saw, that the two of them did not even hear the back door open and close, indicating that Andros and Ashley were currently reentering their house.

They next thing either of them new, Andros was right behind him, not looking very pleased.

"What do you two think your doing," he demanded.

They jumped a bit, startled at hearing him. Then they turned around to see Andros with Ashley right behind him.

Zhane had immediately closed the opened yellow folder he had had on his lap, just not soon enough.

"Umm, we uh, we were just leaving," he stuttered a bit, scared for his life. Then he grabbed Karone's hand and the two quickly ran up the stairs, away from an angry Andros.

Ashley was trying very hard to keep a straight face and not to laugh.

"I can't believe those two," Andros said to Ashley.

Ashley finnaly couldn't help it anymore, and just laughed in response. Then she gave her now fiancé a very sweet kiss on the lips, which he immediately responded to. His arms were soon securely around her waist as hers were around his neck.

Once they finally drew apart, she smiled and said, "They were just curious about our baby; but you can always get them back for it later on." Then she laughed a little at her comment.

Andros smiled before kissing the top of her forehead tenderly. Then he grabbed her hand and led her over to the couch, were his sister and best friend had been only moments before them.

Once they were seated, Andros grabbed the folder that Zhane dropped in a hury and Ashley laid her head comfortably on his left shoulder.

"So do you wanna find out if we're going to have a son or a daughter," she asked him sweetly.

He kissed her gently before saying, "Ya I do."

"Do you," he then asked.

Ashley nodded in response.

Andros then smiled at her lovingly before opening the folder that contained information about their baby.
