Happy Valentine's Day, everyone! And thanks to relm03 for giving me the idea to update the story today. I wouldn't have thought of it without you, Relm! Ok, so I REALLY REALLY hope I haven't overstated it, but I will state it one last time. Perry and Lizzy get info from Baljeet this chapter, and I made up the information. IT DOES NOT MATCH REAL LIFE PLATYPI, I created it based off of my present knowledge of platypi, PnF, and other animals'/humans' gestation periods. So, now that that's out of the way, DISCLAIMER!

I DO NOT OWN PHINEAS AND FERB OR LIZZY(I don't completely own Lizzy, anyway). ANY CHARACTER THAT DOES NOT SEEM FAMILIAR IS PROBABLY MINE

All right, I've kept you waiting long enough :P :P :P

(Lizzy's POV)

Perry and Lizzy followed Baljeet over to his house, with Phineas, Ferb, and everyone else not far behind. Lizzy caught up to Baljeet, who was ahead of everybody. "So you can help me understand if I'm really okay or not?" she asked the nerd.

Baljeet nodded. "It will be a piece of cake. I have a 15 volume encyclopedia collector's edition, all on platypi."

Lizzy shook her head in amazement. "That is just a little creepy."

Baljeet sighed and looked at his feet. "That is what most people believe on my nerdy attitude."

Lizzy opened her mouth to say something comforting, but Buford stormed past and pushed her out of the way, then picked Baljeet up. "Hey, nerd, I think we passed your house."

Meanwhile, Lizzy fell onto the grass in someone's yard.

(Perry's POV)

Perry, who saw what Buford did, took a few deep breaths to stay calm. He walked over to Lizzy and helped her up. "You okay?"

Lizzy nodded. "Yeah." They were silent for a minute, then Lizzy spoke up again. "Is Buford normally that rough?"

"Oh, yeah. We've all gotten used to all his rough-housing over the past few years. He's actually not really that tough, he just hides himself in that tough, nothing can hurt me kind of attitude."

Baljeet then spoke up again. "Buford! Put me down! There are easier ways to let me know something, you know!"

"Oh yeah?!" Buford asked in a threatening tone. "Like what?!"

"Like tapping me on the shoulder! Put me down, and try it that way."

Buford dropped Baljeet on the ground. Baljeet turned around, and Buford knocked Baljeet on the shoulder so hard, Baljeet fell forward.

"Tap me on the shoulder GENTLY, Buford!"

"Oh, sorry." Buford picked Baljeet up, and set him on his feet, then gently tapped him on the shoulder.

Baljeet turned around calmly. "Yes?"

"Nerd, I think we passed your house!"

Baljeet craned his neck to look at the different houses, then he looked at the houses behind the group. "Oops, sorry," he said, blushing. "Okay everyone, turn around." The kids started marching off.

Perry looked at his mate. "Better catch up, right?" Lizzy nodded, and the platypi ran to catch up with the group.

Once they reached the group, who had stopped in front of Baljeet's house, Lizzy was out of breath. "Wow!" she gasped. "I don't normally run out of breath so quickly."

Perry held Lizzy's hand, then squeezed it. "I think we both know why."

Lizzy nodded, and Baljeet's mother opened the door. Out of instinct, Perry went into mindless mode, and Lizzy quickly followed. "Hi, Mom!" Baljeet said, entering the house. "I brought some friends over, I hope that is okay."

"Why, of course, honey. Come in, Phineas, Ferb, and Isabella and Buford," Baljeet's mom said. "And...that's your family's pet, isn't it, right, Phineas?"

Phineas nodded. "Perry, and we got Lizzy yesterday," he added, gesturing to the female platypus.

Perry saw how offended Lizzy looked, and couldn't help but smirk a little bit. Lizzy must've seen him smirking, because she gave him a quick glare that said, the only reason I'm not killing you is because we need to act mindless.

Once the kids were inside, and alone in Baljeet's room, Lizzy and Perry stood up on two feet again. Baljeet walked to his giant bookshelves, and started browsing for what he wanted. Lizzy and Perry also looked around, Lizzy reading the names of some of the books aloud. "Let's see...Rocks and Minerals: The Collector's Edition, What to Do When Your House Is on Fire, 101 Facts on How to Make a Great Dog Owner, The Complete Book of How to Play Rock Music..." Lizzy's voice trailed off. "Do you have ANY fiction books?"

Baljeet shook his head, giving Lizzy a duh, of course not kind of look. "Why would I own any of them? None of those books have any educational value whatsoever."

"But 13 volumes on Useless Shoelace Facts does?" Perry interrupted, looking at the Indian teenager.

Baljeet hesitated, but then replied, "Yes. In fact, it was quite helpful to Phineas and Ferb two years ago. Those books hold much more information than books on princesses, unicorns, and fairies."

Lizzy giggled and Perry shrugged. "If you say so."

Baljeet groaned and continued searching. Suddenly, he let out a shout which caused everyone else in the room to jump. "Aha! Useless Platypus Facts."

Lizzy glared at him. "Useless?!"

Baljeet shrunk back. "That is what the book says. Besides, a lot of these facts are things no one absolutely needs to know, thus making it useless."

Lizzy continued glaring at him, so Perry stepped in between the two of them. "Okay, calm down. I see your point, Baljeet, but try seeing it from our point of view."

Baljeet was quiet for a moment, a thoughtful look on his face. Eventually he spoke again. "Okay, I can see where you are coming from."

Perry sighed with relief that a fight did not break out. Suddenly, Lizzy crumpled to the floor, moaning slightly. Perry started freaking out inside, and ran up to his mate, trying to appear calm. "Are you okay?!"

Ferb, seeing it happen, quickly ushered everyone out of the room except Perry, Lizzy, and Baljeet, who was no vet, but had the knowledge of one. Lizzy, who was now laying curled up on the floor, attempted nodding. "It's just a cramp that's a bit more painful than the one I had this morning."

Baljeet wasted no time pulling out Volume Three of Useless Platypus Facts. He started skimming through the pages. "Let's," he shuddered. "Let us see, ah! Okay, Lizzy, you can stay curled up, if that is how you feel best."

Lizzy nodded, and closed her eyes, wincing. Perry, making sure to keep her in that position, gently hugged her.

"Okay, Lizzy. I'm just gonna ask you a few questions," Baljeet said. "When did you find out you were pregnant?"

"Yesterday morning," Lizzy replied. "But I felt a little miserable all day before yesterday, also."

"Okay, that means you have been pregnant for about two full days. How many kicks have you felt in these past couple days?"

"Three," Lizzy replied, thinking for a minute. "Why?"

"The amount of kicks you feel by the time you have had two cramps is the amount of children you have," Baljeet answered coolly.

That caused both Lizzy's and Perry's eyes to widen. "Wow..." Perry murmured.

"Okay, so why am I feeling this way, if I haven't even been pregnant for three full days?"

"The first three days, and the last two days of a platypus' gestation period are the most painful."

"Oh, yay," Lizzy muttered.

Perry couldn't help but smile at his mate's attitude. "You're more sarcastic now than you used to be."

Lizzy looked up from her spot on the floor. "It's been all the hanging out with Vanessa. I got it from her."

"Are you feeling better now?" Baljeet asked, not looking up from the book that he was still holding.

Lizzy uncurled herself and stood up. "Yeah, I feel just fine now."

"Alright then, I guess everyone can come back in?" Baljeet actually put the book down and walked towards his bedroom door, which had been shut when everyone else left.

Perry looked at Lizzy, who nodded. "Yeah," he answered, bracing himself for questions from everyone once they were back in the room. Baljeet opened the door, and Perry got what he expected.

"Is Lizzy okay?"

"What happened to her?"

"Are you okay with what just happened?" multiple voices asked all at once, like he was a celebrity and they were reporters.

Perry saw that Lizzy was dealing with the same thing, and so he protectively and instinctively blocked everyone from her. "Are you okay?" he asked his mate, who was looking at him gratefully.

"Yeah," she nodded. "Just trying to recover from what Baljeet told us."

Perry nodded in agreement with his mate. "Yeah, that was a bit of a shock. And it was so sudden!"

Lizzy cocked her head in agreement. "True. We got what we came for, maybe we could leave now?"

"We'll have to ask everyone if they're ready to leave, but sure."

"No problem." Lizzy stood up and walked past Perry and up to Phineas. "Can we go now?"

Phineas looked past her to Perry, who shrugged. "Um, sure, I guess."

"Alright then." Lizzy walked back to her mate, then started dragging him out of the room. "Come on."

Perry looked at his mate, a confused expression on his face. "I don't get it, why are you so eager to leave?"

Lizzy sighed and looked back at him. "I need some time to really think about what we learned, and balance myself so I stay calm. It's much easier for one to do that at one's house."

Perry nodded in understanding. "That's definitely understandable."

Lizzy nodded in exasperation. "Yes, yes it is."

Mrs. Tjinder walked by, and Perry and Lizzy quickly went mindless. Perry saw that she was heading towards Baljeet's bedroom, and so he followed, somewhat curious. "So, Phineas. Where did you get the other platypus?"

Lizzy walked up next to Perry and started watching also. Phineas looked to Ferb, Isabella, Baljeet, and Buford, asking for help with his glance. "Ummmmm...well..."

"They got her at a pet shop," Isabella spoke up. Perry groaned.

Lizzy voiced his thoughts. "Well, she could've guessed that much!"

"Oh, I see," Mrs. Tjinder said calmly. "The same one you got Perry from?"

Phineas shook his head. "No..."

The rest of the conversation was muted out, because Perry turned to his mate and began talking to her. "Where did Vanessa get you from?"

Lizzy laid down and rested her chin on her paws. Perry, who suspected a long story coming up, nudged her to stand up. "Come on, I know a comfier place to lay here than the floor."

Once they were lying on the Tjinder's couch, Perry turned to her. "Alright, now you can tell me."

Lizzy smiled. "Well, it's kind of a long story," she admitted.

"I'm listening," Perry replied.

"Five years ago, my parents had begun to fight a lot. Eventually, they told me and my little sister Pixie that they were getting divorced. My mom didn't want to 'deal with us,' as she said, and so she vanished, leaving my dad to watch the two of us full time. I haven't seen her since that day five years ago. Anyway, about a month ago, I was taking a walk, and I ran into Vanessa."

Perry interrupted her. "You do a lot of running into other people on walks."

Lizzy chuckled. "Yeah, I guess I do."

"Okay, you can continue."

"Well, Vanessa and I sat and talked the rest of the day. We quickly became friends. I told her about my family dilemma, and she offered to take me in. I said I'd ask Dad, and answer next time I saw her. Dad said that was okay as long as we stayed in touch, and one week later I was officially adopted by her. I met you the next day."

"Did you stay in touch?"

"Yeah. In the morning I'd talk to Dad over the phone, in the afternoon I'd spend time with you, then in the evening I'd hang out with Vanessa."

"What about your mom? Do you know her phone number?"

Lizzy shook her head sadly. "I don't know how to get in touch. I haven't had ANY contact with her in five years."

Perry hugged her. "I'm sorry."

Lizzy sighed. "It's okay. I've just learned to accept it. My mom doesn't want my sister and I. Simple as that."

"That doesn't make it any easier to handle. I'm talking from experience."

Lizzy nodded, somehow managing to chuckle in spite of the misery hanging in the air. "I guess you'd know better than most, right?"

She and Perry went silent as the kids and Mrs. Tjinder passed. "Well, children, while you're here, how would you like a snack?"

"Sure!" chorused the young teens.

"Thank you, Mrs. Tjinder," Isabella said.

"Yeah, thanks!" Phineas said.

"What snack do you have planned, Mother?" Baljeet asked.

"How about a simple fruit salad with chocolate muffins?" Mrs. Tjinder suggested.

"That sounds delicious," Isabella commented, sitting down at the table in the kitchen.

"Okay, well if all they're gonna do is eat, then can the two of us leave now?" Lizzy asked her mate.

"Fine," Perry said. "Luckily, I know the way back home from here. I'll just go tell Phineas that we're leaving."

"How are you gonna do that?" Lizzy asked, sounding slightly annoyed. "In case you didn't notice, Baljeet's mom is hovering around them like a gnat."

Perry smirked. "Let me show you."

He leaped gracefully off the couch, remembering to stay mindless. He padded up to Phineas and jumped into his lap. "Lizzy and I are gonna go on and go home," he said. All Mrs. Tjinder heard was a chatter, so she didn't say anything. Phineas nodded at Perry as to show that he heard.

Perry leaped off of Phineas and walked back over to the couch. "Ready to go?" he asked his mate.

Lizzy looked impressed. "Yep."

The two platypi walked towards the front door. Making sure Mrs. Tjinder wasn't looking, Perry quickly got on two feet and opened the door, then he got down again.

Lizzy sighed. "We're gonna have to stay like this until we get home, won't we?" Perry nodded, and Lizzy's head fell. "How do you survive this?"

Perry swatted her playfully. "It's not that bad. Take it from me, I did this nearly all day every day for five years, and since Lawrence and Linda don't know, I still have to a lot."

Lizzy looked at her mate. "You have my pity."

Perry laughed as they began to walk down the street. Lizzy joined in, and the two of them laughed for a little bit.

They had stopped laughing by the time they reached the block that the Garcia-Shaperos' house was on. Pinky the chihuahua was just padding out of his pet door when the platypi passed his family's home.

"Hey, Pinky!" Perry called, waving to the chihuahua with his tail.

"Perry!" Pinky barked, running up to his best friend. He tackled Perry, nearly sending the both of them onto the road. Perry heard Lizzy giggle and caught her smirking.

Pinky was putting all his weight on his front paws, and his front paws were on Perry's chest. Pinky was squeezing the air out of Perry. "Okay, Pinky," Perry gasped. "It's great to see you too, but can you please get off of me?"

"Oh, yeah! Sorry, Perry," Pinky said, quickly stepping off of him.

Perry stood up, and Lizzy spoke up. "Yeah, if anyone's gonna kill him, I'd prefer it to be me."

Perry gave her "the look," and Pinky shot a look of confusion at Perry's mate. "Who are you?"

"Oh, right, you two haven't met," Perry realized. "Well, Pinky, this is Lizzy."

Lizzy cleared her throat. "Um, Perry. Isn't there something you're forgetting to tell him?"

Perry sighed. "Pinky, this is Lizzy. My mate."

Pinky blinked, and a beat of silence followed. "You have a mate?!" he finally asked.

"Yes, he has a mate," Lizzy said exasperatedly.

"Since when?"

"Since a couple weeks ago," Perry replied.

"And you never told me?"

"He just did, didn't he?"

"I was busy, Pinky. Today is the first day I've gotten off for weeks, and that's only because Doof is sick," Perry said, obviously not wanting a fight to break out between his childhood friend and his mate.

"Is there anything else you want to tell me while we're talking?" Pinky asked.

Lizzy stared at Perry, and Perry sighed. "She's also pregnant."

Pinky blinked again. "Okay..." he said. "Congrats, and all that."

"Gee, happiness is just radiating off you," Lizzy commented sarcastically.

"Sorry, I really am happy for you, but it's just difficult to take in. Ten minutes ago I didn't even know that you had a mate, and now apparently you're going to become a father," Pinky apologized.

"It's not much easier for me to accept," Perry admitted.

"He just found out yesterday afternoon," Lizzy explained.

"Ah," Pinky said. "That explains a lot."

The sun began setting, and at the same time, Linda Flynn-Fletcher's car pulled up in the driveway across the street. "We'd better get going," Perry said.

"Okay," Pinky replied. "Bye!" He waved at the platypi as they walked across the street.

"So you live across the street, and you barely see each other?" Lizzy asked, sounding confused.

"We may live across the street, but he's normally inside and I'm usually downtown, at Doofenshmirtz Evil Inc." Perry answered the unasked question.

"Okay," Lizzy said. Then she went silent as they padded up to the tiny porch in front of their house, where Linda was trying to find the keys to the house.

"Why hello, Perry," she said, looking up. "Who's this?" She knelt down and petted Lizzy, who backed up at first but quickly began enjoying it. "I bet your a friend of Perry's, aren't you, little fella?"

Lizzy immediately quit purring and glared up at her, which was difficult as she was trying to look mindless. "Little fella?!"

Perry smirked. "She's mad, time to run for the hills."

Lizzy turned her glare to her mate as Linda went back to unlocking the front door. "Ha, ha, very funny."

"Don't worry about the misunderstanding, Lizzy. Phineas and Ferb will be here soon, and Linda will ask them if they know anything about you," Perry reassured as they stepped through the doorway.

"If you say so," Lizzy said doubtfully.

(Lizzy's POV)

Turns out Perry was right. Not long after Perry and Lizzy were inside, Phineas and Ferb came home. As Linda, Lawrence, Candace, Phineas, and Ferb were eating dinner at the table, Linda asked about Lizzy. Phineas, Ferb, and Candace told their mother the same thing that they told Lawrence and Mrs. Tjinder.

After dinner, Perry and Lizzy walked upstairs and laid in bed. "Do you have any ideas of names?" Lizzy asked her mate.

Perry shrugged. "I don't really know. I think it would be easiest to just come up with a name once we see them."

Lizzy sighed. "Yes, but is there a name you'd like?"

"Why does it matter?"

Lizzy groaned. "I would just like to know, Perry." Is that too much to ask?

Phineas and Ferb entered the bedroom and laid down on their beds. "So, Perry, Lizzy," Phineas said, sitting up in his bed. "Lydia said she'd be back tomorrow morning."

"We're not done with this conversation yet," Lizzy whispered to her mate before he could reply to Phineas.

Perry sighed then turned to Phineas. "Tomorrow morning?" Phineas nodded, and Perry continued. "Did she specify what time?"

Phineas looked to Ferb for help, who shook his head. "Well, I can't wait to officially meet her," Lizzy said, turning her gaze to Phineas.

Candace's voice startled Lizzy. "It's hard not to like her."

"How long were you standing there, Candace?" Lizzy's mate asked, sitting up.

The teen had been leaning against the door frame for who knows how long. "Just since Phineas and Ferb entered."

Lizzy sighed, and Perry turned back to Phineas. "I never caught why she was leaving in the first place."

"I thought you said it was to visit family," Lizzy said, cocking her head.

"It is, but I don't know what family."

"I don't know..." Phineas said, looking at Ferb, who was laying on his bed.

"I think she said she was visiting her brother's wedding," Ferb answered.

Phineas snapped his fingers. "Oh, yeah, right!"

Lizzy yawned and curled up against Perry. Perry smiled and wrapped his tail around her. In a few minutes, Lizzy was sound asleep.

And it has been completed. Now you know both Perry's story and Lizzy's :P :P :P both kind of grim. And, I've been really into Typewatching lately, you may or may not know what that means, but if you are also, then there was a major J(Judger) and P(Perceiver) scene near the end. If you Typewatch, can you figure out who the J is and who the P is out of Perry and Lizzy? :P :D :P :D
