A tan experiment lay asleep on the chair next to the unconscious raven-haired girl who she loathed with all of her heart. She didn't know why she was here actually. It couldn't be because she was starting to warm up to the girl, for she was an earthling and earthlings are as filthy as dust. If she wanted to kill the girl in her sleep, she would've done that at least two days ago. This girl had been asleep for over a week, nine days actually. Therefore, the experiment had many chances to kill the little brat.

Now she won't get that chance again, because the girl started moaning. She gazed at the girl as her brown eyes slid open. The girl yawned then looked at the experiment. The little girl's eyes widened when she recognized who the experiment was. "K-Kira?"

"That would be me." Kira scoffed then crossed her arms. "How are you feeling?"

Lilo raised her eyebrow. "Okay I guess. I just needed a little nap."

Kira snorted loudly. "If it was a little nap, you would've already been awake."

"How long was I out?" Lilo asked, getting over her surprise at Kira's change of behavior.

"Nine days."

"NINE DAYS!"

"There goes my hearing." Kira moaned as she covered her long floppy ears. "Yes nine days Earthling!"

Lilo slowly lay back in the bed. She didn't know she was out that long. How is Nani handling that? Do Victoria and Keoni know of what happened? Are her friends okay? Speaking of friends, why isn't Stitch with her? If he was worried about her, then why wasn't he the first thing she saw? Moreover, why is Kira here? "Why are you here?"

Kira shrugged. "Just wanted to know if you were okay."

"Why would you care?" Lilo interrogated, hoping she didn't sound too harsh.

"I don't care!" Kira growled through gritted teeth. "Jumba made me watch over you."

"Why not Stitch?"

"After Angel turned him good, Jumba got you inside the ship to heal you. Stitch was wailing a storm, demanding Jumba to tell him if you were going to be okay. Finally, Stitch went insane so Jumba had to keep him from you. He's at the house right now if you wish to see him." Kira said before standing up from the chair. "I'll get Jumba in here."

Before Lilo could question her weird behavior, Kira was already out the door and out of earshot. Lilo sunk back into the bed, nuzzling under the covers. She tried to remember what happened before she passed out, but the details were a blur. All she could remember was Stitch holding her protectively in his arms then she blacked out. She could vaguely remember that he was about to say something, but then that dizzy spell over powered her. If only she could've stayed conscious a little longer to hear what he was going to say and if only he didn't stop, but continued on. Was he about to say something sweet? Was he going to say he was sorry? Was he about to say he loved her?

The door flung open and Jumba stepped inside, relieved to find Lilo was okay. He checked her out a little more then sighed in disappointment. Lilo gazed at him and he turned to her with sympathy and sadness in his eyes. He blinked and a small tear escaped his left-hand bottom eye. Lilo didn't want to question Jumba because she could tell from the look in his eyes that it was something very bad and she would rather not to worry her head off over something that may happen later on.

Jumba didn't say a word except telling her she could leave to see her family. Weakly, Lilo staggered out of bed. She took a few steps then collapsed. Shakily, she pushed herself back up.

"Little Girl? Are you okay?" Jumba asked in a cracked tone of voice.

"I think my legs need to be re-adjusted." Lilo replied as she tried walking again. The room spun around again, just the way it was before she passed out. "Jumba, I don't feel so-"

Suddenly, she felt bile build up in her throat and her stomach had a queasy feeling. Lilo slapped a hand over her mouth then tried to stand, but only took two steps before falling down. She couldn't hold back and she vomited on the floor.

Lilo looked pleadingly at Jumba who rushed over to her and lifted her in his arms. He was very surprised to feel that she was boiling. "Little Girl, I think you need to stay in ship. You're sick."

"I want to see Stitch!" Lilo protested.

With reluctance, Jumba set Lilo down on the floor and watched her as a father would his new born who was learning how to walk. She staggered to the door with Jumba watching over her like a hawk. Lilo weakly pushed the door open then stepped out into the daylight. The sun's rays blinded her vision, causing her to collapse. Jumba immediately raced towards her, helping her up.

Lilo mumbled a quiet thanks then resumed her walking, making her way to the house. She crawled up the stairs that led to the front door of her home. She picked herself up then knocked feebly on the door. The door opened to reveal a teary-eyed Victoria.

"Lilo!" She cried then brought her friend in an embrace. "Are you okay?"

Lilo nodded then asked. "Where's Stitch?"

"He's in the dome." Victoria replied. "Nani called me to tell me you collapsed so I stayed here for nine days. Keoni's here too."

"Really?" Lilo asked with her eyes wide.

Victoria moved over to let Lilo inside. Angel sulked on the couch while watching Reuben and Keoni battle each other at a video game. Keoni was beating Reuben easily with a total of 350 points.

Victoria turned her head to the experiments and her boyfriend. "Keoni! Reuben! Angel!"

"What?" All three groaned then snapped their heads towards her. When they saw Lilo, they smiled and shrieked together. "Lilo!"

Before she knew what was happening, Angel and Reuben had her in a crushing embrace. They almost screamed at her for causing them such worry while squeezing tighter until the point Lilo felt her ribs beginning to snap. When they heard the slight cracking of a bone, they let her go sheepishly. Just when Lilo thought she was free, a blue blur tackled her to the ground. Without warning, lips pressed tightly to hers while the arms around her waist held her securely to a soft furry body. Lilo didn't need to think twice to realize it was Stitch on top of her.

Lilo's arms instantly went around his neck and returned his kiss, grazing her lips against his. Without even asking, Stitch's tongue slipped right through her lips and into her mouth. She could feel his tongue licking hers in a loving, but dominant gesture. She felt a wet trail drip from both her cheeks. Was he crying? She pulled back to look for herself and she was right. He was crying, but he was also smiling like a lovesick fool.

Lilo reached up to brush away his tears. He smiled and tried to kiss the hand on his cheek. He did just before nipping lightly at the fingertips, making her giggle softly. He moved up on her body, unaware of everybody watching him as he dipped down and kissed from the bottom of her throat and then trails his kisses upwards to her lips to capture her in another sweet kiss.

"Alright lovebirds we get it!" Angel finally cried. "You two act as if you haven't seen each other in years!"

"Angel, buchee-bu, they're in love so it feels that way to them." Reuben replied.

"Will you two break it up?" Angel screamed at them, but her request went ignored. "Seriously, how can they breathe like that?

"I think we need to give them some time alone." Victoria replied then grabbed onto Keoni's hand and led him to another room with Angel and Reuben lagging behind them.

Stitch and Lilo broke their kiss very slowly, staring into each other's warm, loving eyes. Lilo stared into his pitch black, but even slightly red pupils. She didn't realize until now how much she missed him while he was evil. She missed his loving touch, his award-winning smile, and the way he looked at her with adoration. Seeing him gaze at her with love caused her heart to almost spring from her chest. If she was to die, she wanted to die in his arms. Stitch gazed into her soft brown eyes, feeling his heart thump with ecstasy. It's been almost an eternity to him since he last touched her or kissed her. Jumba had hid her away from him so he wouldn't go ballistic, even though he did. At daytime, he would rarely eat, or go out. He would just stand in front of the ship, willing the ramp to go down and allow him access to see his raven-haired angel. At night, he would stare at the ship and then cry himself to sleep while holding Scrump to his chest. Seeing her underneath him with an illuminating smile on her face made him believe she wasn't dying.

He leaned forward to nuzzle her nose with his. "I've missed you so much Lilo."

Lilo stroked his ears. "Stitch, before I blacked out, you were about to say something."

Stitch recalled that day before she passed out in his arms and knew what she meant. He remembered he was trying to say he loved her, but she didn't hear him. Stitch looked down at her, his heart skipping a beat. Could he tell her now?

He placed his hand on her thigh and started massaging her. He laid his head down on her chest to listen to the beating of her heart. As his hand stroked her, he thought of the words he longed to say to her.

"I-I-I swallow I love- love gulp I love y-you. I love you!" He replied and waited for a response. When he didn't hear anything, he lifted his head to see her eyes closed. He panicked, but then saw the steady rise and fall of her chest. He smiled when he found out she was just sleeping. It has been four months since Lilo informed him of her cancer, so she only had two more months to live.

With a heavy sigh, Stitch climbed off her. He bent down to rope his arms around her backside just before carrying her upstairs. He rode the elevator to his and Lilo's dome then tucked Lilo in the bed. He kissed her lightly on the lips then descended the elevator. When he landed on the hard wooden floor, he turned his head to look at the dome. Only two months, he thought to himself. Two months before she dies. Tears clouded his vision, but he swiped them away with the back of his hand. Two months wasn't long enough for him. Two months wasn't long enough for him to hold her, to marry her, to love her. It just wasn't enough time.

He felt his knees give out and he kneeled on the floor, hanging his head while sobbing. He knew Lilo's days were numbered, he just didn't know by how much. He got his answer when Jumba entered the doorway. He was shocked to see his experiment crying, but nothing stopped him from supporting his favorite experiment. He knelt down and lifted Stitch in his arms, rubbing his back with his large hand. Stitch wept into his creator's shoulder, feeling his heart lodge into his stomach.

"Evil Genius takes it that 626 knows Little Girl won't be for long." Jumba whispered into his ear, but he had no response. "626, her days are cut short. While I inspected Little Girl, I noticed her signs of life were weakening. It's only a matter of time 626. She may get lucky and die in two more months, but she may not be lucky and die in another two days. All I'm saying 626 is make the best of time you have left with her. Her days are numbered now."

Stitch nodded. "I'm not ready to lose her Jumba. I love her."

Jumba stiffened at these words. Sure, he heard Stitch telling Angel a million times that he loved her, but this was different. Stitch had just said he loved Lilo in a voice of sorrow, anger, pain, and even a small patch of his tone said it with love. Jumba held tight to his experiment. "I know. I know."

Lilo awoke at 5:30, her limbs too weak to help her out of bed. Stitch was lying right beside her. After his tearful embrace with Jumba, Stitch went out for a bit then stayed by Lilo's side. Eventually, he fell asleep, but he woke up earlier than she did. Now they lay cuddled up in each other's arms. Stitch had his arms around Lilo's shoulder, pulling her as close to him as possible. He was sitting up, so her head lay on his chest and her arms wrapped firmly, yet weakly, around his torso. Stitch was staring blankly ahead while Lilo thought of what death might be like. She wasn't a fool to ignore the fact she was dying. She knew it was only a matter of time before her body completely gives out.

What will dying feel like? She wondered if it would hurt or if she would die peacefully in her sleep. She wondered if she would go to heaven to see her parents or if all she'll see is darkness. She shivered as more tears crept out of her eyelids. She looked up and her eyes met with Stitch's clenched jaw. Her heart sank. What of Stitch? Will he be depressed? Will there be any chance he and Angel would get back together? Will he find somebody new? Her heart sank lower, but then she could've sworn she felt an invisible claw clutch at her heart so tight that it shattered just at the mere thought of Stitch with another female. She knew she was dying, but it still hurt for her to think of another female's arms around Stitch's neck and his arms around that female too. These kind of visions crossed through her mind that it was curiosity that made her speak.

"Stitch? What will you do after I'm dead?" She could say it easily now.

When he heard her speak, Stitch turned to look at her. "What?"

"What will you do after I'm dead?" Lilo repeated, raising herself up as best as she could on her hands.

Stitch gulped nervously. "I don't really want to talk about it Lilo."

"Please Stitch, I want to know. I don't want to die thinking you're going to have an unhealthy life." She pleaded.

Stitch smiled slightly at her then brought his previously thrown off arm around her shoulders again, drawing her near. "I'd probably be upset at first. I might throw stuff or even punch and kick at a wall. But, after a while, I'm sure I'll be able to get over you. I got Angel, Nani, Pleakley, Jumba, and Reuben to keep me on my feet. So you don't need to worry about me, but thanks for caring though buchee-bu." He finished this last part with a grin that seemed genuine to Lilo.

Stitch knew his grin was forced, but he wanted to assure Lilo that he would be fine. If anything, she should be worrying about herself. He knew he wouldn't get over her very quickly as he said, he would. How could he forget those sweet chocolate orbs staring directly at him with love and warmth? How could he forget those thin lips he loved kissing? How could he forget all of her? How could he forget the adventures he had with her? Stitch refused to let the tears show so instead, he lifted her chin and brought his lips to hers.

Lilo returned the kiss as best as she could, but after five seconds it seemed like, Stitch pulled away to gaze at her with complete adore. Lilo returned the same look before bringing her head to rest at his chest again. Stitch's arms moved from her shoulders to go around her waist. He felt her twirling some of his blue fur around her index finger and grinned. He loved it when she did things like that. He bent down to kiss her raven head then buried his face in the sea of her raven hair, inhaling the sweet scent of her shampoo.

These affectionate gestures went on until Nani announced it was dinnertime. Stitch swung his legs off the bed then turned to look at his girlfriend. She was struggling to get strength in her arms to lift herself up. With a sigh, Stitch went forward then took her in his arms. Stitch cradled her as a groom would with his bride in his arms and carried her down the elevator. He set her down on the floor then grabbed her hand to walk with her into the kitchen.

All commotion stopped when Stitch and Lilo entered the kitchen holding hands. No one was surprised of course, but the shock from their relationship still hasn't recovered. Nani was happy for her baby sister, but she didn't think Stitch was the one for her. Jumba agreed with her, but vice-versa. Pleakley thought it was very cute, but didn't think they would last very long. Angel and Reuben however, backed them up. They believed they belonged together and will be together until the end of Lilo's life.

Dinner went along pretty quickly considering the fact Lilo fell asleep on the table. Stitch went to take her to bed then came down to finish his dinner. However, the void of worry in everyone's hearts caused them not to finish their food and instead called it a night.

Stitch laid awake in his bed, staring into the angelic face that was his girlfriend. His heart thumped with extreme worry at the thought that she might die all too soon. Jumba said she had a number of days left to live and Stitch was going to make sure her last days on Earth will be the greatest days of her life. This was his promise to her and to show his gratitude of everything she had done for him.
