"Amanda, how do you think Jon and Kate named all of their children?" Kyle asked; his blue eyes set into a confused stare at her.

Her lips lifted into a smile at his cuteness and curiosity. He had been asking random questions about Jon and Kate's daily life raising their eight kids all that day.

"I'm not sure," she answered. "Maybe they used a baby book. Kate and Jon have also said they gave a few of their children middle names after people or such." She smiled cheekily, her naturally flushed cheeks wide with a smile.

Kyle smiled at her, and thought of a name for a child. "So, I could give our daughter the name Josh?"

Amanda was taken slightly back by the looseness in the word 'our' he used.

"Of course not." she laughed slightly. "That's a boy's name, Kyle."

"Oh. Then how about Gavin Joshua for a boy?" he questioned, raising his eyebrow slightly.

She smiled. "Exactly."

And she leaned in, pressing her pink lips to his cheek.

Hillary froze; her mouth was open in a shock. Her lips curled into a grin.

"I KNEW IT!" she clapped and wrapped her arms around her best friend. "That's fabulous, Lori!"

Lori shrugged, shrugging her best friend off.

"Why?" she crossed a line of lyrics off her notebook paper and looked up at her best friend, setting her pen down. "There's nothing fabulous about that."

Hillary huffed and rolled her eyes. She sat down at the table, across from Lori. "It's fabulous because I know for a fact Declan is in love with you, too." Her voice was soft and caring for her friend.

Lori stared at her, her face soft and painted with a layer of disbelief.

"Hills, seriously. I don't even talk to Declan that much." She sighed. "And besides, why would Declan or any guy be in love with me?"

"Because I am," a voice spoke behind them.

Lori turned around in her chair quickly, her heart beating erratically.

"Declan?"

Josh and Andy's make out session ended up in Andy's room and they lied tangled in each other's arms when they were finished.

"You're a good kisser," Josh teased, playing with her messed up curls.

A smirk grew on the corners of swollen-from-being-kissed lips.

"Eh, you're not so bad yourself," she teased back. She stared up at his face, the smile on her swollen lips still perfectly in tact.

He grinned. He ran his fingers up and down her bare arm. She shivered with ecstasy, staring down now at their legs that were tangled together; his leg was through hers, her leg on top of his.

"Josh," she whispered after a moment, the electric touch of his fingertips still running up her arm.

He closed his eyes in contentment. "Hmm?"

"Nobody's home." His eyes snapped open. She propped herself up on her elbow. "And my moms and brothers won't be home for another-"she took a quick glance at the alarm clock on her bedside table "-oh, another four hours." She smiled, and put her arm across his chest. "And we're all alone in this big house...do you want to?" her voice was suggestive on the word 'want'. He caught the suggestiveness, too.

"Play more G-Force?" he squeaked, not knowing exactly if she meant that.

She laughed and punched his arm.

"You know what? I won't even ask you if you wanted to go where no man had gone before." She lied back on her pillow and closed her eyes, a pretend act of annoyance.

He moved closer to her, and wrapped his arm around the front of her waist and pulled her closer to him. She opened her eyes and looked into his eyes that were moving closer to hers, and he pressed his lips to hers. "I'd love to be the first man to ever walk on the moon," he murmured between kisses he was planting on her bare skin. She laughed, her laugh being masked by his lips that he softly pressed to hers once more.

"- so they have to always make sure someone is always watching the little kids." Amanda concluded, finishing answering yet another of her boyfriend's questions about the show. The more he asked, the more she found that it was all new to him.

She was happy to respond to anything he asked; when he got the answer to a question, a look of gratitude, understanding and thoughtfulness always passed over his face. She loved this about him; his facial expressions were always so clear, and it had become one of her habits to watch his face carefully, one never knew what cute face they would miss if they didn't.

Yet she was confused. Why did he know so little about children? Why when she asked about his past he would either give her a very vague answer or change the subject? What was he hiding from her? Why did her feel he had to keep something from her? Didn't he know nothing he could say or do could change how she felt about him? Did he not believe her when she told him that? She had her own questions and wanted answers.

They were still on her couch, having worked their way through several episodes of Jon and Kate Plus 8. She owned the seasons on DVD and was perfectly happy to spend the day watching them with her Kyle. She was cuddled into his side, her arm wrapped around her, holding her to him.

And then there was the way he talked about their future so casually. Like he knew they would always be together. Did he really believe that? Or was it just a slip of the tongue? And how did she feel about that? She already knew. She wanted forever with him.

Looking up at him, she observed his concentration on the show. He was so focused on it. It was obvious that at that moment in time, it was his main focus. He looked content and calm. She resisted the sudden urge to kiss him; for some odd reason at that moment all she wanted to do was tell him how much she loved him and to hear him say the same.

He looked down at her suddenly, catching her eye. When he found her staring at him, a small smile on her face occurred.

He grinned. "What?"

"Nothing," she responded. "Just watching you." And, allowing herself to give into her wishes, she kissed him, noting the way he seemed hesitant in his response. Why was her boyfriend so…odd? Though she loved him and wouldn't change a thing about him, he was different. And she wanted to know why. She was going to somehow get her answers.

He took a step forward. "I never stopped loving you."

"Ooh, did you get that from a movie? It's so romantic!" Hillary squealed.

"Shut up, Hills," Lori said quietly, standing up. "Even after the way I turned you down? After Mark? You still care about me? You still love me?"

"Of course. Lori, nothing you can so or do will make me stop. When I kissed Hillary-" Hillary sank a little lower in her seat and looked away casually. They ignored her "-it didn't feel right. I've tried and tried to get over you, but I can't. Seeing you hanging out with Mark made me want to get him as far away from you as possible so I could take his place." He took another step forward. "You know me better than anyone. When something happens to me, you're the one I want to tell. You never care about my flaws; you make me feel better when I'm down. You're perfect. I don't know why any guy wouldn't be in love with you. I know I am," he finished.

She was silent for a minute. "Wow. Do you really mean all of that?" He nodded, his eyes telling her that he did. "I don't know what to say."

"Tell me if you want us to," he responded, hoping beyond hope she did.

Hillary sat at the table, eating a cookie, her eyes darting between her best friend and Declan.

Lori took a deep breath. "Declan, I…" She looked him in the eyes. "I want that, too."

His face broke out into a huge grin and he crossed the room, wrapping his arms around her. He pressed his lips to hers and she hooked her arms around his neck, relaxing in his embrace.

"YAY!" Hillary squeaked, "Aww, it's all so romantic!" she sighed and ate another cookie.

The couple lied back, breathing heavy. Various items of clothing were thrown about the room. He glanced at her, "The moon is a very, very, very nice place," he said breathlessly. She nodded in agreement.

After a few moments of silence, during which they each caught their breath, realized what they had just done, blushed a bit and then smiled.

"Josh." She looked at him and met his eyes. "I love you."

He grinned.

"I love you too. So much." She leaned forward and kissed him again and then pulled away.

"We just…" Andy trailed off and he wrapped his arms around her, pulling her to his chest. She moved as close to him as possible.

"That was so much better than G-Force," he whispered in her ear. "Your moms should go out more often."

She smirked.

"They'll be gone next weekend. And my brothers are going with them."

He pressed a kiss to her collarbone.

"Excellent."

He held her closer and sighed with contentment.
