Hello everyone! :)

I know shocker I've update fairly quickly! :D

Thank you to all my lovely reviewers and to the people who have alerted and favourite this story! Such grand motivation! :)

Also hope everyone in my home country of Great Britain is having a fabulous Diamond Jubilee! :) I love Gary Barlow's new song 'Sing' made for the Queen and I was listening to it while writing the end of this chapter so you might see a bit of jubilee woven into the stroy haha :) (check it out it's a goose-pimpling song!) God Bless Britain! :D

Okay patriotic speech over I hope you all enjoy this chapter! This is a REDS with a bit of GREENS thrown in slightly in the end :)

p.s Also a few people have been saying this story reminds them on the hit TV show 'f.r.i.e.n.d.s' and in all honesty it was inspired from the show as well as everyday drama a problems :)

Today was a great day. First and foremost Brick was staying back here in America! I was so glad he was still here, he was my best friend and not to mention the father of my unborn child! After we came back from the airport we all went to breakfast in Bubbles cafe, with Buttercup and Boomer making some very suggestive comments about how it was me who made Brick come back, and that he wouldn't have done it for anyone else (that part gave me butterflies, either that or these eggs didn't agree with the baby.) Well it's a good job they don't know that we where together just yet, could you imagine the jeering?

After we got back I was hoping to spend some alone time with Brick however Butch was being a real pain in my ass and would not leave us alone. Every time we asked him to leave or suggested for him to go do something else he kept saying 'Why do you two want to be alone so badly?' So instead we played a few racing games on his stupid xbox to divert him from interrogating us on wanting to be alone. Ugh it was just ridiculous I mean who the hell wins 5 TIMES IN A ROW? Not that I'm a sore loser or anything...

So I've challenged him to a bet and who ever wins gets to be the others slave for 1 whole day, I shuddered.

Butch's slave for 24 hours.

That cannot happen.

"Your going down preggo" Butch taunted I let a growl rise in my throat my competitive nature kicking in.

"We'll see about that... you.. you.. jerk face"

"Ooh burn Bloss!"

I narrowed my eyes and chewed the inside of my cheek in frustration. I could not lose!

Butch placed the game in and we began he made good head way but I put all my concentration into that stupid game, and unfortunately I wasn't prepared to take on such an experienced gamer like Butch.

"Haha oh man it's going to be so sweet you being my slave for one whole day!" Butch laughed.

"Ugh!" I moaned, Butch laughed again.

"This is almost too easy"

Just then we heard the door open and a loud bark, however I was too fully concentrated to be distracted but my opponent was not.

"Hey a dog!"

As if the heavens heard my silent prayers Butch's car slowed as he took his finger off the accelerator to look at the dog. I thrust my controller out in front of me as if physically forcing my cyber car faster and watched with glee as it over took Butch's and over the finishing line.

"HAHA I WIN!" I yelled ecstatic.

"WHAT?" Butch turned back round murderous.

"HA! Your my slave for one whole day!" I jumped up and did a little jig while Butch stared at the screen dumbstruck.

"What's going on?"

I turned and finally acknowledged Buttercup was in the room... with a huge dalmatian!

"Who's is the dog?" I countered.

"Oh this is Bruiser, I'm looking after him for Dan while his house is fumigated" Buttercup said while stroking the dog.

"Ah well I hope you know Bubbles is scared of dogs" I say, walking over to pet him too.

"With they way she jumped on the couch and screamed bloody murder I would never have guessed" Buttercup said sarcastically, I rolled my eyes.

"Come on then if he's staying with us she's going to have to get used to it" I say making my way over to our apartment.

"Butch? You okay man?" Buttercup asked a still frozen Butch.

"I lost.. to a girl" He barely whispered, I turned and smirked.

"You coming slave?" I laughed, Butch snapped his head round and glared at me my smirk grew bigger.

"Yeah you might want to see this Bruiser head butted Boomer in the balls and is currently rolling around like a baby and throwing up" Buttercup snickered.

"Oh no" I said before opening my apartment door.

"Now this I've gotta see!" Butch bellowed following me in.

I opened the door to see Bubbles kneeling on the floor over what I assume to be a destroyed Boomer (the couch had restricted my vision) and Brick watching over in concern (which he probably would seen as this is a major injury in the male species eyes.)

"Ak! Get that monster out! He's decapitated poor Boomie" Bubbles squealed.

I walked over to the trio flashing Brick a cheeky smile, to which he winked back.

"So who won the bet?" Brick asked putting his arm around me (to them where still only best friends so this gesture would be normal and we wouldn't be giving anything away.)

"ME!" I grinned, Butch's face dropped and became frustrated.

"It wasn't a real bet anyway" He argued.

"Oh sure... if you'd have won you would have made her do it" Brick argued, I felt myself flutter inside as he defended me, I let a smug smile settle on my face.

"Ugh your a douche!"

"AHHHHHH!"

We all turned to the sound of Bubbles screams. Brusier was on its two back legs with Bubbles timidly holding its front legs while it licked her face.

"Get it of, get it of, get it of, get it of"

Brick, Butch and Buttercup where laughing while Boomer was still paralyzed. I shook my head and went over to help Bubbles.

"Ew, ew, ew, ew, ew" Bubbles muttered.

"Come on Bruiser" I said trying to grab his legs off of Bubbles but as soon as he felt my hands his head snapped round to me and barked. The bark scared me and I let a scream escape my lips before I jumped on the couch.

"Bruiser" Buttercup chided while still laughing.

"Right the dog has to go!" I say.

"Why?" Buttercup whines.

"Because I'll end up going into early labour if it scares me like that again!"

"Yeah, for Blossom's sake it has to go" Bubbles joined in, I let my arms drop to my sides and look at her skeptically, she shoots her eyebrows up in surprise.

"It can stay with us" Brick suggests.

"Hm I guess" Buttercup says, just then Boomer began to stir from the floor I had almost forgotten he was here.

"Boomer!" Bubbles yelled and knelt down beside him.

"You okay man?" Brick asked.

"Sorry Bubbles but I don't think I can have kids anymore" He wheezes, I jump down from the couch and walk over to the freezer and handed Boomer a pack of frozen peas.

"Thanks" He said before sitting down gently on the couch.

"Well since the dogs residence is sorted how about we get some food?" I suggested.

"Take-out" Bubbles said.


After we had eaten our chinese food Butch and Buttercup had taken Bruiser back to the boys apartment, Bubbles left with Boomer for his band practice leaving just me and Brick alone. Yes!

"Hm this is nice" I smile and relax into his chest.

"Yeah" He says putting his arms around me while resting his free hand on my producing stomach. I turn my eyes back to the TV to see a parade in the UK of the River Thames for the Queen's diamond jubilee, I wasn't paying close attention as I was too wrapped up in my perfect bubble.

I began to simmer in my own thoughts about what was going on in my life, work was okay I had no cases booked at the moment (and probably won't until after the baby is born) so all my time went into paper work etc. I was now at 6 months pregnant so just 3 more to go! I'm so excited to be a mother if not still rather scared, actually scratch that make that terrified! But it was a good type of scared. I know Brick will be a good father, don't ask me how I just know and the fact that where starting steady makes everything more amazing and surreal. I'm going to have my own little family.

I sigh happily.

"You okay babe?" Brick asks looking down at me, I smile and nod.

"Couldn't be better"

"You know I'm going to level with you here but I thought that this whole 'together' thing was going to be so weird and uncomfortable but I was completely wrong it just feels right. And I must admit I am glad where taking things slow that's just what we need" Brick says, I reach up to kiss his cheek just as he turns and I kiss him on the lips (not that I minded at all.)

"Yeah I'm glad the other's don't know yet, can you imagine all the banter we would get because of our uhm 'relationship' before hand that gave us this?" I say pointing at my stomach Brick chuckles.

"I know it will be so good when we do tell them that we have been dating for a while, their faces will be priceless!" Brick snickered, I grinned it was a pretty good plan.

"Haha I know"

However my perfect bubble was abruptly burst when an enraged Buttercup came storming in slamming doors and stomping like an elephant.

"Buttercup?" I yell standing up.

"What an absolute crap bag!" She screams, Brick rubs his face tirdly.

"Let me guess Butch?"

"Who else?" Buttercup yells.

"What has he done?" I ask, but before I get an answer the devil himself walks in and that god forsaking dog bounding in after him. Bruiser runs over to both me and Brick I jump slightly still wary of the huge animals while Brick flinches and protects his 'neather reigions' as it jumps over to him.

"Get out!" Buttercup yells at him, his eyes hold a steely edge to them.

"Why because the truth hurts?" He yells back, there both standing at either side of the kitchen island glaring daggers at each other.

"What the hell is going on?" I yell, the green eyed pair both shut up but neither takes their eyes off the other, I get frustrated very quickly.

"Butch as my slave answer me!" I yell the dog barks at the volume of my voice and I smirk at the authority oozing from me. Butch and Buttercup both look at me shocked and dumbfounded I just smirked.

"This crazy idiot won't admit that Dan is an utter dud and is as dull as dirt!" Butch argues, I raise an eyebrow and look at Brick who also as a look of surprise. Do I detect a hint of jealously from Butch?

"He is not! God dammit Butch why do you keep ripping on him?" Buttercup yells back.

"Because he's not good enough for you!" He yells back, the dog barking louder every time their voices rose. "Will you SHUT IT!" Butch snaps in rage at Bruiser, who stares at Butch and wails in his throat.

"Hey don't yell at the dog bro!" Brick yells defensively giving the dog a stroke, I look at Brick strangely before turning my attention back to Butch and Buttercup.

"Oh yeah well then who is?" Buttercup fires back, Butch didn't respond but just kept looking at her. Buttercup stepped back when he didn't answer.

"Like it matters now anyway, we've set a date... it's in 4 months time... I hope you come... but if you do or you don't it doesn't matter I'm still going to marry him" She says gravely before leaving to her room.

I look at Butch who looks... expressionless, I don't really know how to describe it he looks.. lost.

"Butch?" I ask, he doesn't respond but instead just walks out of the room.

"I'm going to go see him" Brick says quickly planting a kiss on my head before following Butch back into their apartment. I sigh feeling a headache coming on, I turn to go to my own room only to see a huge dalmatian sat there looking at me expectantly.

Oh great.
