Song of the chapter - Those Magic Changes ~ Jordan Fisher

Moving out, Moving in

~Lilly's POV~

"Hey Lil'…"

"Yeah…" I said, never looking up from my books. When Raph never continued, I looked up for a split second, finding him staring at the ceiling. Raph was sitting on the floor with his back leaning against my bed because he didn't want Ian to get the wrong idea if he caught us just being on the same bed together. I blinked in confusion before shutting my textbook. "What?"

He turned his head towards me, "Do you ever think about getting married?"

I felt my heart drop into my stomach, "What? What do you-"

"Or having children?"

Why the hell is he bringing this up? I opened back my book and shook my head. "No." I said simply before continuing to read whatever I was supposed to read. Only now I couldn't pay attention to anything with those questions repeating in my mind. Give a girl some warning! Jesus…

He chuckled, "Relax, I'm not talking about marrying me, I'm just asking in general."

Once again, I shut my book and sighed. "Um… I'm not sure I really believe that marriage is necessary I mean…it's just a piece of paper."

"You really think that?"

I nodded, "And children…not really patient enough to handle them so…no thanks."

He shrugged, "I don't know… Spending you're life with someone you love sounds…cool." He said, staring at me with this dreamy eyes.

I grunted, looking away from his stare.

"You're telling me you've never thought about marrying the love of-"

"No."

"Why not?"

"Because I'm in high school."

"So?"

I shook my head, "I don't want to talk about this."

"Why not?"

"Because Raph, it's making me nervous. Marriage is a very serious topic that I haven't ever thought about. I mean…" I groaned. "My mom and dad were never married but my mom is always calling him her husband."

"Well, I mean they had a kid together. Of course she would…" He shrugged. "I'm just saying. Its not like I'm talking about marrying you. Just curious about your opinion."

The silence after that grew so loud I wanted to hide. I felt my face burning with embarrassment. Why did he ask this out of no where? This topic makes me so nervous and I think it has to do with my parents. I mean they never got married but that doesn't mean they didn't love each other. Why get married and ruin the whole thing? "What about you?" I ask so softly I don't think he heard me.

"What?" Raph said.

I jumped, my cheeks burning even more. "Um…" My voice trembled. "Do you want to get married…to someone you love?" Not with me of course, I mean maybe…I mean no…what? Shut up, Lillian stop thinking so much.

Raph shrugged, "I don't think I can legally get married but it'd be nice to be with someone who wants to be with me for the rest of her life. To live together, have babies—even though I can't—I don't know. Never thought about it till I met you…" He looked over at me and frowned, "Was that too much?"

I took a second before I shook my head, "You're fine…" I'm trying not to put any ideas in his head. It's not that I don't want to...marry him. I've never thought about it. It's just...sometimes, things don't work out. And I love Raph... "Why are you bringing this up?"

"We've never talked about it. Casey said something about being the best man at my wedding after he asked me about..." Raph stopped. "...stuff..."

I rolled my eyes, "He asked you about our sex life? He actually...ugh, I'm gonna kill that idiot!" I grounded through my teeth.

"How'd you know?"

"April and Casey found out we..." I looked at my wide open door. Some subjects were really hard to talk about. "...are doing it now and literally cornered me and tried to get me to tell them every detail. I'm not that type of girl so I did what any decent lady would do."

Raph snorted, "Lady..." he shook his head.

"I wasn't about to tell April and Casey our business so I kicked Casey out and told April and he said he'd ask you." I gave him a slight push. "You told him didn't you."

"I didn't go into details. What'd you tell April?"

"Nothing! Just that we did it and that was that."

"Well...same. I love Case, but I love you more and I knew you were going to be pissed if I said any details."

I felt my heart flutter but decided to ignore it. "Awe...you love Casey. How cute!"

Raph's eyes widened before he just stared at the ground in confusion. I guess he said it without thinking. He then looked at me, "Wait what?"

I put my book aside and went to wrap my hands around his neck and kiss his cheek. "You love your little boyfriend."

Raph suddenly stood up, "Boyfriend? I didn't say..."

"Yes you did."

"No...no I didn't."

Don't freak out. Chill." I said |with a frown.

"What? I said that...?"

"Raph, would you relax? It's okay for a man to love another man platonically."

"Shut up, I never said-"

I laughed, "Oh my god! Your masculinity is so fragile. My poor insecure baby..."

"Insecure? I'm not insecure."

"You-"

"Lillian," Ian interrupted, coming into my room. "Your mom is here." He said, completely ignoring Raph.

I sighed, "With Barry?" Ian nodded. "Well, at least he stayed."

"And I don't want to hear any attitude. She's still your mother. Okay?" Ian said.

I rolled my eyes, "Okay Ian..." When he left, my shoulder slumped. I was not happy to see my mom. God only know what the hell she wants to talk about.

"Um...you okay?" Raph asked, making his way towards me.

I nodded, "I'm fine. Just not looking forward to her telling me she doesn't want me with you..."

Raph smiled, sitting on my bed. He grabbed my hand and brought it to his mouth like he always did. "As long as she doesn't change your mind, I'm not worried."

I smiled, "She could never change my mind." I leaned in and placed a sweet kiss on his mouth. "She may hate you but I don't."

"No?"

I shook my head, "Nah," I gave him another kiss. "Want me to prove it?"

"Right now?"

"Obviously not." I reached up to grab his face and squeezed it. "It's been an entire week since we've been able to be together and we haven't done anything fun... I'm starting to get a little frustrated."

"I know. But...Ian won't even let you close the door. I can't even-"

"Lilly! ¿A que hora?" Ian yelled.

I groaned, "Coming!" I sighed, getting up from my bed. "'Kay, I'll be right back."

"I'll be here..." Raph said.

I walked into the living room. Ian was sitting next to Christine on the sofa, while my mother and Barry were standing, waiting for me I guess. My mother looked horrible... Dark circles under her swollen red eyes, almost like she had been crying. She looked stressed as fuck... If this is because of Raphael, then this is just ridiculous. If anyone mentions Raph, I'm going back into my room. "Hi mom." I said almost hesitantly.

My mother's lip trembled, but she took a deep breath and nodded. "Hi babe..."

I went over to hug Barry, "Hi Barry."

"Hey, sweetheart." He said softly.

I went over to Ian, but I didn't really want to sit. "Okay so what's up? Why haven't you been home for a little over a month?" I said, expecting my mother to say something about Raph.

Barry placed a hand on her shoulders, "I...Lillian, I hope you can forgive me for this but...I thought it would be best to be away from you guys for a while. After we were introduced to Raphael, your mother was so shaken by the whole thing I asked her to spend the night...and she did. I didn't expect her to be gone as long as she was."

I'm lowkey mad at Barry for letting my mother do some stupid shit like disappear for a month. But it was my mother's decision. "Okay..." I sighed exaggeratedly when I heard Raph's name.

"This past month many things have happened to me..." My mother said. "In my mind and in my heart... I had many revelations, most of them between our family. But I think the big one was about Barry and I..." my mother grabbed Barry's hand. "Lillian we are moving in with Barry."

My eyes widened and my stomach dropped at the sound of that word. "Moving?" I shook my head. "You can't be serious." I felt my legs give out and I fell backwards on to the couch.

Ian laughed, "You've got to be fucking kidding me, Aniya. You guys have been together for like...what? Two months, maybe less?"

"Why are you moving so fast?" Chris asked. "I mean... I-I just can't believe this."

I shook my head, "I don't want to move. I don't want to move. I don't..."

"Lillian," Barry said sympathetically.

"No! No Barry! Mom, you can't do this to me. I'm not changing schools again. I don't want to go through the same thing I went through coming here. Why can't Barry move in with us?" I asked. This is just another way of my family keeping me away from Raph. I know it is! This is just another form of punishment!

Barry raised his hand, "Lilly, I don't live too far from here. You'll still be able to go to the same school, hang out with the same people. You'll just have to...wake up a little earlier. I'll be able to drive you to school on my way to work or Ian can drive you. I take public transportation most times."

"Wait, me driving Lilly, how?" Ian said with a sad voice.

Barry shook his head, "Don't worry Ian, there's a room for you at my house. It's a four bedroom place."

Christine laughed, "I have my own place, I'm not moving in with you guys." She said scooting away from Ian.

My mother smiled, "I know. But if you ever wanted to crash, there's a room for you."

I felt myself relax a little. "Why are you guys moving so quick?"

"Well, that's not all..." My mother said before looking up at Barry. He smiled softly down at her before nodding. "Barry and I are getting married."

"WHAT!?" Ian and Christine shouted.

Chris shot up from her seat, "Ann, are you being for real? You're going to marry this man after being with him for less than two months! You can't be serious!"

Ian nodded, "No offense Barry, but I don't know you enough. You could be trying to kill us for all I know."

Barry frowned, "I know you don't know me but I hope you trust me enough to know that that's not what I want to do." Barry's eyes moved to mine, he came over to me placing both hands on my shoulders. I hope he's not going to say something about calling him 'dad'. I like the guy but there are steps to this. "Lillian, as much as I like Ian and Chris, your opinion is the most important. I know you have trust issues and rightfully so, but I really do love your mother."

"Oh, I don't doubt that." I chuckled. I looked at my mothers hopeful eyes staring back at me. "I..." I began before sighing. "Welcome to the family Barry."

Barry's smile grew ten times bigger, "Really?!" He said before pulling me into a tight hug. At first I just chuckled awkwardly but then sorta sank into his hug. My arms coming around him slowly before just smiling and enjoying the hug. He broke away from the hug and went over to my mother to kiss her forehead.

"Lilly, you're really okay with this?" Ian asked. "I thought out of anyone here you'd be the one who really hated this."

I shook my head, "Nah... Look at them, they're in love! I say, why not?" I was making my way to my room. "When are we moving?"

"As soon as possible," my mom said.

"Alright then, I'll go pack." I said before turning. I saw Raph's poking out of my room. I smiled at him and he nodded, everything was alright...

"Lillian," my mother called once again. But before I turn around she exclaimed, "I'm pregnant."

I saw Raph's eyes widened before mine did. I felt all blood rush from my face and run cold throughout my veins. I slowly turned around and found my mother finally letting her tears fall from her face. Everyone's eyes were on me and my reaction.

My mother covered her mouth with her hand, as if she were scared to let out a sob. "I found out two weeks ago."

"You're...pregnant?" I said breathlessly.

My mother nodded, wiping her nose. "There's more."

"There's more? More than a child?" I said with a shake of my head.

"The wedding is going to be soon and it's going to be where both our family is." Barry said.

I narrowed my eyes in confusion, "This is my family. Where would we go?"

"California."

Oh so I really have to pack. "How soon are we talking?"

"Like before I start showing. Barry needs to ask for time off, and since everyone knows who he is...it's going to be a short visit."

My face fell a bit, I haven't thought about going to California since I was about 13. I left my grandmother who I don't like to think about. Not because she was mean, because it's hurts to think about someone I left. I don't know my mom's parents... basically every bad thing happened to me is in California. And even though I most likely won't run into any of them again, I can't help but feel a little nervous to go back. "Where in California?"

Barry rubbed my mother shoulders, "Well, Aniya insisted we'd have the wedding where my family is. San Francisco."

Oh fucking lit. I smiled, "That'd be perfect."

Ian shook his head, "This is too much for me to wrap my head around."

Christine nodded in agreement, "Barry, I love you. You're better than the last guy she had but...marriage? A baby?"

My mother frowned, wiping the last of her tears, "I didn't want to get married. After all, I had a child out of wedlock with Anthony, but when I told Barry I was pregnant, we went to see for sure and then when it I found out I was, he proposed."

"She said no at first." Barry continued. "I think we were worried about my relationship with Lillian."

"What about it?" I asked with a shrug.

"I don't want you to feel like I'm replacing your father." My mother explained.

"You...you technically are. I'm not. But that's not saying I don't approve. I love both of you. I mean, Barry you're really great and patient. You're one of the best guys my mom has ever been with." I said with a smile.

My mother smiled, "I thought about it for about a week, thinking about how you would react and I knew you wouldn't be mad."

"I'm not. I'm happy. Because now Barry's stuck with us." I chuckled. I really was happy, shocked but happy. It was a little sudden but I trust Barry. He's a good guy. We get along great, he bought me a phone! He loves my mother. "How are we going to do this?"

Christine sighed, "Yeah, by the way, I'm not rich like pretty boy. I may own a business but do you know how much everything is going to cost, in California! It's like double what it is here."

Ian nodded, "Actually, if we're being honest, I feel a little useless. I mean, what the hell am I supposed to do? I'm not related to the bride. Why should I even go?" He said maybe a little to rough.

I scoffed, "You're going." Ian is like my brother. He is my brother.

Barry looked over at Ian before stepping away from my mom. "Ian, I want you to be my best man."

Ian blinked, "What? I don't-"

"I know we're not that great of friends. But I have no siblings and no friends on the force. So I want you to be my best man."

I smiled. How sweet...

"And Chris I want you to be my maid of honor." My mom said.

My mouth fell open, "What? Her!?"

Christine was caught off guard by my quick response, "Girl, I'm her sister."

"I'm her daughter!"

Christine stood up, "Got a problem, shorty?"

"And don't worry about paying for anything. I called my parents, they already have our flight plans figure out. Our house is pretty big so there's a room for everyone." Barry explained.

I sighed. Everything is changing so fast and honestly… I couldn't be happier.

~Raph's POV~

When she came in the room she had tears in her eyes. I was about to ask her if she was okay but before I could even ask her she covered her face and began to cry.

I heard almost everything they talked about, but most importantly I heard about her mother being pregnant. It was a shock to everyone… I mean another person is coming into the world and that person is going to be apart of Lilly's life in a big way.

Lilly wiped her tears away as best as she could without ruining her make up before she began to laugh. It was a soft chuckle before it turned full blow laughter. I was…a little confused but I couldn't help but smile at her. "Oh god…!" She laughed.

"You okay?" I chuckled.

She nodded, "I'm going to be a sister." She laughed. "I'm going to be a sister…" She said before she began crying once again. She took two steps forward before jumping into my arms, sobbing into my neck. "I'm going to be a sister." She sobbed.

I smiled, holding her close to me. "I heard." To be completely honest, I was a little excited to see this new baby. I hope its a girl so I can see what Lilly looked like as a kid. I also hope I get to babysit and-what am I doing? This isn't my kid. I'm 16 going on 17. I shouldn't be thinking about this. Anyways...

Lilly pulled away and finally calmed down, "Oh man… I'm so happy. I've always wanted a kid brother."

"Not a sister?"

She wiped her tears and shook her head, "Do you know how hard it is to be a woman in this world? I would always worry. No, I want a little boy so that I can make sure he grows up to be a nice gentleman."

I smiled, she already sound like a mom. "I also heard you're getting a new daddy."

"And moving into his house."

"Heard that too. I was a little worried at first but-"

"So was I, but everything is all good."

"Isn't it weird how I brought up marriage and kids and then you find out your mom is pregnant and engaged."

Lilly rolled her eyes, "Shut up,"

"In fact," I said, once I got a funny idea in my head. "There's something I've been wanting to ask you." I grabbed her hands and slowly began to kneel.

Lilly's eyes went wide, "What are you doing?" She asked.

"Lillian…"

She began to shake her head, "No no no. Raphael, you better shut up."

"Will you…" I looked down at her feet. "…let me tie your shoes? I mean you're gonna end up tripping and falling face first."

Her jaw fell open before she slapped my shoulder, "You asshole. You scared the shit out of me." She chuckled.

I stood back up, "I'm just kidding. I'd never marry you. You're not my type."

She scoffed, "You ass. What is your type?"

"Blonde."

"Blonde?

"And…tall."

"Yeah well I like my men tall as well so it's weird how I'm with you isn't it?"

I winced, "That was bellow the belt."

"Would you feel better if I dyed my hair blonde?"

"Maybe…"

~Lilly's POV~

"So this is going to be your room." Barry said as he opened the door. "You're a teenage girl so I figured you may need a little extra room for-"

"Holy crap!" I yelled, walking into the room. There was a huge bed in the middle of the room, a queen I think. In front of the bed was a dresser with a mirror on the back of it. The room had two doors attached to it, one was a closet that I still didn't know how big it was and the other was the bathroom. I have my own bathroom!

"There is no tv but we can get you one if you want." Barry said. He pointed to the bathroom, "The bathroom is connected to your room but this is the only bathroom on this floor so it is also Ian's."

Oh never mind... I shrugged, "It's okay." I went over to the closet and opened it with a gasp. "I don't..."

"Is it not big enough?" Barry asked, walking to the window.

"No, I don't think I have enough stuff to fill this closet." Suddenly, the room became brighter. I turned around and saw Barry opening these burgundy curtains to reveal the view of the backyard. "Wow... A backyard?" I gasped, walking around my bed to see the view of it. "Holy... How big is this house? How can you afford this?"

"Don't worry about that. Your mom says all you do is worry about bills, and the only thing a 16 year old should worry about is school." He said with a small smile. "Lil'... You know, if I had it my way, things would be different."

"You mean, like, wrap it up?" I asked as a joke but not really. I still don't know how I feel about this whole moving thing. I mean, things are finally starting to look good for my family but the fact that all of it is changing so fast...I just don't really know how to cope.

Barry's eyes widened a little before he chuckled nervously, "Um... Yeah, I guess... But sometimes... Things just happen." He cleared his throat. "Anyways, what I'm trying to say is... I'm sorry if this is too fast. I really wanted us to bond before-"

I placed my hand on his chest to stop him from continuing. "Barry, I like you. I knew you and my mother were going to get married eventually because..." I shrugged. "Well, because you light up when you talk about how much she means to you and she's a sucker for a man who treats her the way you do. You and I is not really necessary."

He frowned, grabbing my hand and shaking his head. "No, you're wrong. I don't find our relationship unnecessary. You're your mothers daughter, I am marrying your mother which meaning I am your family. You can always confide in me with anything. I may not know what it's like to be a teenaged girl, but I..." He sighed, almost contemplating whether or not he wanted to continue this conversation. "My father was a very busy man. Don't get me wrong, I love him but...he wasn't there enough for me to say he raised me."

I raised a brow in amusement, "Barry, my father is dead."

Barry sighed again, "I know... I'm sorry, I just was-"

"No no, I know what you were trying to do." I looked out the window one more time. Change was good sometimes. Even if it came at full speed and hit you like a truck, sometimes it was for the better. "Thanks Barry... I don't think you realize just what you did to my family. All I had was my mother, and I constantly had to worry about her getting hurt or...worse, but now I don't thanks to you. You saved us, so I'm eternally grateful. It means so much to know that there are men like you that care for people like us."

There was a look in his eyes that I haven't seen in so long. He looked at me like how my father used to look at me, a flicker of light deep within his pools of blue of pride and love. He gave me this warm smile before he let go of my hand and pulled me in for a tight hug. "Oh Lillian..." He said softly. "There is no need to thank me for anything."

I really did like this guy. He was very sweet and loving and I'm really happy he came into my life. "Don't hurt my mother please. She acts like she isn't but..." I pulled away from the embrace. "She is delicate."

Barry nodded, "I promise." He gave my forehead a kiss before he turn and started for the door. "I'll let you look around and get yourself acquainted with your new room. You guys should be able to gather all your things and move in by next Friday."

I nodded. "Barry, one more thing..."

He turned, his eyebrow perched up as he waited for me to continue.

"Out of everyone in my family, you were the one person who seemed unfazed by Raphael. Why?" I asked.

Barry thought for a moment before he stared at me and cocked his head to the side in thought. He turned around and closed thee door just slightly. "Lillian, I am only allowed to say so much. I mean..." He straightened. "As I've mentioned before, we've been getting a lot more calls from around the city ever since the invasion of people seeing mutants or weird creatures just walking around. We figured either something happened to the people who are calling in during the invasion or...they're telling the truth. I have yet to have seen one that is, until Raphael... Being in the position I am in on the Police Force, I have learned many things. Keeping my calm is one of them. I thought, 'so mutants are real and some are good and one of them happens to be dating Lillian, okay then'."

"That's...a way to view it." I still feel like he wasn't telling me all that I needed to know but... I'll take it. "Those calls... Have there been any calls that sound like it could have been him or his brothers?"

Barry thought for a moment again, "I am not at liberty to say but... I don't think you need to worry."

I breathed a little sigh of relief and nodded, "Thanks."

"Thanks again for coming to help with me packing, you guys." I said, grabbing a hold of more shirts before tossing them onto my bed. "I'm sorry if it was last minute."

April shook her head, brushing her bangs out of the way. "Your mother is pregnant, I'm not about to have her carry anything that weighs over two ounces."

Casey nodded, "Who knew you'd have so much stuff. What are you going to do with the beds since you don't need them anymore?"

I shrugged, "Ian was going to give it away. I was think either A: sell it or B: give it to the guys if they want new beds." When Raph didn't answer me, I called out to him. "Raph? Did you want a new bed?"

Raph pulled himself away from my drawer and blinked at my question, "Huh? Oh, sure. I'll see if someone wants a new bed. But not this one."

"Why not? It's clean."

"I'm not worried about it being clean, I want it." He said before pulling out his phone. "Let me text them to see. Whoever texts back first gets it."

Casey raised his hand, "Question. This is a two bedroom place. Where does Ian sleep?"

"The couch." I said. "He said he doesn't mind, even though Christine offered her futon and stuff."

Casey nodded, "Alrighty then," he grabbed a box that was full of clothes and passed it to April. Then he grabbed another box, "We'll go put this into the truck then."

April nodded, "Then I'll see what your mom wants me to do. Is she okay, by the way? Because she's really...quiet."

"She's been like that ever since she found out she's pregnant. I don't ask why..." I've dealt with my emotional mother, I've never dealt with her pregnant before. Don't want to poke the bear.

April nodded, "Be right back then." She said as she followed Casey out of the room.

I turned back to Raph who continued putting my delicates in a box, "You good?"

Raph nodded, "Fine, just a little confused as to why you have a lot of blue underwear but not a lot of red."

"Really? That's on your mind?" I chuckled. "Well, it's not blue it's teal and I look good in it so..."

"You look even better in red. I know, I've seen it." Raph chuckled. "Why do you have to move in now?"

I sighed, "I don't know. I know Barry and my mother are in a hurry to get everything done before she starts showing. Only thing I'm worried about is flying to California to revisit everything that I left."

Raph narrowed his eyes in frustration at me, "California?" He groaned. "You have to leave again and I have to go however long without seeing you again…?"

I went over to him, taking the box he had out of his hands and placing it on my bed. "It looks like it…yeah. I'm not happy about that either but its where Barry's parents are and where my mother's parents are."

Raph wrapped an arm around me, "How come you never talk about your grandparents?"

I rolled my eyes, "I've never met them. My grandma on my dad's side…I left her, so I don't like talking about her. But at least I get to see her again."

"Is it bad to say I'd rather you stay here with me than go across the country? I don't want to…split up because you're so busy with your life and I'm-"

My laugh interrupted his sentence. "Split up?" Raph frowned. "No, we won't split. I'm not worried. Are you?"

He smiled at my reaction, "Well if you laugh like that... Nah, I'm not worried."

"I wish I could take you to California. I could show you San Francisco. I wonder if it's changed since I've been there."

He shook his head, "East side for life."

"Oh Jesus, you're picking sides?"

"Hell yeah! There ain't no place like New York."

"No of course not. I love New York too but-"

"You're biased! You were born there."

"I was born in San Diego."

"Like they're far apart?"

"It took my family and I one and a half days to get to San Francisco from my house. It's not just down the block."

Raph snorted, "All the same to me." He grabbed one of my underwear from the box. "But when you're gone, can I have this to remember you by?"

"I'm going for like three weeks, I'm not dying."

"Three weeks? Is that enough for a wedding and honeymoon?" He asked.

"I don't think so... But it's all Barry can get. I doubt anything will happen in that time period."

Raph sighed and frowned. "You jinxed it."

"Probably." I laughed, then gave him a much needed kiss.

"When are you leaving?" He asked.

"I don't know. I think in the summer."

Raph groaned again, "That's in like two weeks."

"Yeah... Just think about it. I'm moving into a new house, bigger room, bigger bed... We can say goodbye in the best way."

Raph smirked, his arms pressed me against his chest. "Okay...sorta looking forward to the next two weeks. It's been too long for someone with a sex drive like mine."

I blinked, "We did it yesterday."

"That one doesn't count."

"How?"

"Because it was like 5 minutes long."

I rolled my eyes, "We both got to where we needed to be. A quickie is better than nothing."

He shook his head, "Not for me." He leaned in and placed a kiss on my chin, then my cheek. He pressed his cheeks up against mine. "I wanna go slow, make sure you feel all the things I wanna do to you."

I felt my skin burn at the sound of his voice, I smiled wrapping my arms around his neck. I giggled when he nipped at my pulse. "The door is open, if Ian sees you this close to me, I don't think I'll be able to stop him."

Raph pulled away from my neck and smiled, "I guess I'll just wait till we're alone."

I sighed, "We never are, that's why we always have to result to quickies."

He nodded, "It'll be nice to be able to do it in a bed for once."

Train tunnel, sewer (as gross as that sounds), rooftop... Cross all that off the bucket list. "Well, if we do it in a bedroom, we can't be as loud as we both want so..."

"That's true. Well... We'll see just how good you are at keeping it quiet. From what I've learned, it's gonna be hard for you." He said with a smirk, I just giggled in response because I mean, he wasn't wrong.

"Woah, what are you guys talking about?" Casey yelled from behind us. "Can you guys go like...one minute without having to touch each other? You know, Jesus is watching."

I laughed, giving Raph a kiss before I pulled away from him and went over to another box. I dumped all the shirts into the box and handed it to Casey. "Here you go,"

"Okay, I'm going to leave the room. Please don't be playing naked twister when I come back." He said exiting the room again.

I rolled my eyes, "Whatever."

I felt Raph come up from behind me, wrapping his arms around my waist. "No promises." I rested my hand against his face when he kissed my cheek.

"Promises about what?" Ian said, walking through the door. "Too close. Leave room for the Holy Spirit."

Raph broke away from me as quickly as possible. Meanwhile, I just stood there, glaring at him. "You know if he can't even kiss my cheek, then this is stupid."

"I'm sure he can show you he cares without physical contact." Ian said with a smile. "Alright, so do you have any other boxes or is it just the bed?"

"I got two more. Delicates and..." I walked over to my little stand by my bed, picking up the picture of Ian and the picture of my mom and dad and me. "These."

Ian smiled, "Hey, you kept this?"

"And framed it. Both pictures mean the world to me of course I kept it." I said. I went over to the box of underwear then place the two pictures on top before closing the box and handing it to Ian. "Raph is going to take the bed."

"He is? Why?"

Raph shrugged, "I can't really buy a bed so if someone is giving them away, I'll grab them." He took out his phone and nodded. "Mikey wants the other bed if it's available."

Ian nodded, "Okay then, I guess this is like charity too." He said before walking out of the room with the box.

"Did he just call me charity?" Raph said softly.

"I'm sorry..." I shook my head, pinching the bridge of my nose. "My family is just..."

Raph shook his head and waved my apology away, "It's fine. They're protective for the right reasons... At least Ian is. Your mom just doesn't like me."

I went over to sit right next to him, "Thankfully, April is stopping her from coming into the room. She made it very clear she doesn't want to see you."

Raph nodded, "Yeah well…" He looked at me with tired eyes. "Can't have everything."

Poor Raph, he's been through so much because of my family and yet all he does is shrug it off. I grabbed his face, smooshing his face before giving him a sweet kiss. "Thank you."

"For?"

"Everything." I gave him another kiss. "Just…" I sighed. "I just love you."

Raph's eyes flickered a bit, before he raised an eye ridge. "Cheesy…" He teased, kissing me back. "But I'll never get tired of hearing that."

I could get used to saying it often.

"I know how you hate to say that but I promise you," He grabbed my hand and kissed it. "You're gonna be telling me over and over and over-"

I covered his mouth with my hand, "We're having a moment, don't ruin it by being a pig."

"I love you?"

I smiled, "Hmm…"

Alright, so they moved, a baby is on the way, a wedding is on the way...and? Stay tuned.
