Alex hobbled back up to the door, glad she didn't grab her backpack earlier when she left. Knocking on the door, she barely had to wait ten seconds before the door swung open and she was enveloped in two strong arms. "Well this is a great welcome."

Caleb pulled back and smiled, "Well I am surprised you are back so soon and I am glad." He grabbed her crutches setting them to the side of the foyer and pulled her into his arms bridal style.

"Caleb! I do not need to be babied," Alex pouted as Caleb carried her up to his bedroom.

"I want to do this. I read the pages Reid marked off for me while you were gone," Caleb sat next to her on his bed. "I see I was not the only one to get a Abbott heirloom this evening. Ria, you know I love you, and we are technically moving incredibly fast for two people that just become involved, but I want you to move into this house with us. I thin…"

"Caleb! That is incredibly fast. And I am still a minor and unable to make my own housing choices until next May. Plus after the conversion with my mother, I do not think moving in together would be the smartest choice for either of us." Alex turned to face him.

Caleb sighed, "I want to be able to watch over you."

"I am capable of doing that myself, thank you for your concern though."

"I know. I just…" Caleb ran his hand through his hair. "I want to be with you at all times, but we need to keep distance between us." He placed his hands on Alex's arm, "Last thing we need now is a child."

Alex sighed in relief, "At least we agree on that. Though, when that was written it did not have the birth control methods we have now. And to think I have been on the pill since I was sixteen due to cramps that would make me stay in bed for almost a whole week."

Caleb grimaced and then smirked after taking in the whole statement Alex gave to him, "Nice to know in both cases." Caleb ghosted her lips, "Though we should not chance anything."

Alex felt the same pull and nodded, "We really shouldn't… it could end up badly."

Caleb lightly kissed her and moved into passionately kissing her. "We really shouldn't be doing this."

Alex nodded, "No we shouldn't, but it is so tempting…" She groaned as Caleb pulled away. "oh… not nice."

"I know, but we should stay to our original plans and watch these films." Caleb leaned forward to turn the tv on and leaned back pulling Alex with him, "We have to be careful. Once you are eighteen we will discuss this again, but until then we will attempt to fight this.

AN: Thank you readers. Sorry if this is getting boring or hard to read, but with them only being 17/18 I want to be realistic and yet true to the characters and myself. I may skip a few months to May and the twin's birthday; let me know your thoughts.
