"Are you serious?" Maki gasped on the end of the line.

"Yeah! I woke up this morning and they were gone. That's why I called late." Aidan could tell Maki was beaming.

"Oh... have you told your parents that my mum was pregnant?"

"No. They'll find out at the world meeting. What time will you get here tomorrow?"

"Around 12." Aidan replied.

"'Kay. I should let you sleep then. Have fun on your trip."

"I can't wait to see you, Maki."

"Be safe."

"You too. Bye!"

"Bye, Aidan." The line clicked off, and Aidan set down the phone. He kicked off his shoes, unbuttoning his shirt and sighing. Francis had set Alaina up in Aidan's room for tonight, wanting Arthur to sleep. Aidan had eagerly agreed, wanting to watch over his little sister and let his Mum rest.

Aliana started moving in the crib, whining softly, so Aidan galnced in. Alaina smiled up at him, gurgling something, and reaching out her fingers. Aidan touched them with his pointed finger, and her fingers wrapped gently around his. Aidan grinned down at her, lightly touching her head.

"Good night, Alaina. I love you." Aidan whispered, turning off his light. He settled in bed, closing his eyes.

"Aidan, get up..." Before he could process what was happening, he was dressed and eating breakfast. Arthur sat across the table, groggily opening and closing his eyes.

"You should go to bed, mum." Aidan mumbled, feeling tired himself. It must have been even worse on Arthur.

"I'm fine..." Arthur whispered, rubbing at his eyes. Aidan looked at the clock. It read 8:20 in neon green numbers.

"Oh crap! Mum, we gotta go!" Aidan shouted, grabbing Arthur's arm and pulling him into a hug.

"I'll drive there and get dad to get the car. You go to bed." Aidan directed him upstairs, Arthur unresponsive as he climbed the stairs. Aidan ran outside, starting the car and driving to the airport.

After he got onto the plane, Aidan sat next to a man, who was sleeping, drool dripping down his chin. Aidan made a face, scooching as far to the right as he could in his seat.

A loud woman sat on his right, fat shaking every time she took a step. Her hair was a bright orange, puffy and curly. Aidan silently spit out the hair that went into his mouth, scooting to the middle of his seat and staring at the ground.

"Excuse me." The woman said. Aidan didn't look up.

"Excuse me!" She shouted into his ear. Aidan jumped, glancing up at her.

"Your in my husbands seat!" The woman accused him, pointing at him.

"This is my seat." Aidan muttered.

"No! It clearly says on his ticket that his seat is S2!" The woman held out the ticket, stuffing it in his face. Aidan dug out his ticket, handing it to the lady.

"This one says S2... Henry, get an assistant person... one of those whores in the small skirt. Tell them this is wrong!" The woman shouted. One of the flight attendants gave her a dirty look, walking into a different section of the plane.

"Good god, Martha. I'm right here." The man groaned. He was just as big as her, wearing a white tank top and blue jeans, but... oh god... he had hair everywhere but on his head.

"Henry! Go do it! This boy has your seat because of a mis-print!" The woman bellowed, her fat jiggling. Aidan grabbed the ticket, scanning it. He was about to tap her, but didn't want to loose his hand, so he coughed.

"Excuse me? Your ticket says G2." Aidan pointed out. The woman looked disgusted at him, taking the ticket.

"This certainly does NOT-" She stopped.

"Oh... so it does." She laughed. "I'd really like to sit next to my husband..." The woman started sobbing hysterically, kicking her feet.

"I'll trade seats!" Aidan offered, handing her the ticket and switching off. Aidan scooted out of the seat, practically running to the G isle. He sighed, sitting in his seat. Suddenly, two blond girls sat on the sides of him, giggling and staring at him.

"Hi." Aidan offered his hand, and one of the girls took it, seeming to melt to the touch.

"I'm Cara." The girl said in a swedish accent.

"I'm Shally." The other girl giggled.

Cara grabbed his hand back, holding it between hers.

"What's your name?"

"I..." Aidan laughed drawing back his hand. "I'm Aidan." He grabbed a book, pretending to flip to a page and reading. Shally closed the book, looking into his eyes.

"That's an amazing name." Shally whispered, her hand wandering to the front of Aidan's shirt. Aidan plucked it, delicately putting it on her lap.

"...Thanks..."

Cara wrapped her hand around Aidan's waist, sighing and putting her head on his lap.

"You should buckle up. We're going to take off soon." Aidan was clearly uncomfortable, wanting to just get them away. He didn't lean that way anymore, and he loved Maki too much.

"But... this is so... daring. One of the best positions, wouldn't you say?" Cara asked.

"N-no. I'm actually on the way to see my girlfriend... so..." Aidan pushed Cara up, furiously looking through his book.

"Aw... but she isn't here... right?" Shally purred, trying to unbutton his shirt.

This was worse than the other people.

"Okay! Just stop!" Aidan demanded, pushing their hands away and putting them in his lap. Cara shrugged, sitting back. Shally did the same thing, both girls choosing to ignore Aidan. Aidan sighed, finally able to relax.

"Aidan!" Maki shouted, running forward to embrace Aidan. Aidan grabbed hold of him, ezcited to see his boyfriend again.

"Oh god... Aidan I've missed you so much."

"I just saw you 2 months ago!"

"That's too long!" Maki complained, a giant smile apparent on his face. He embraced Aidan once more, bubbling in glee.

"Where are your parents?" Aidan asked.

Maki had a sly smile on his face, pulling something from his pocket. He held it out, Aidan taking it and gasping.

"Keys? Did you get a drivers license?" Aidan asked. "I thought you had to be 18!"

"No! My mom got you a car!"

Aidan's was dumbstruck.

"B...But why?"

"His boss has a bunch of old cars that he's never driven before, so he offered them to my mom. Mom has one for you, Altheia, Clark, Collete, Nikolai, Me, Luciano, Maria, and all the others." Maki stated proudly. Aidan smiled, kissing Maki's cheek.

"What... what was that for?" Maki asked, turning red.

"I just missed you." Aidan gabbed Maki's hand, escorting him out of the airport. When they stepped outside, Aidan got the feeling of being watched. He looked around, and after finding nothing, he continued walking.

"Something wrong?"

"I... it's nothing." Aidan smiled down at him. Maki laughed, taking over the directing. Maki stopped in front of a red volvo, one that caught Aidan's attention.

"Is it this one?" Aidan asked, pointing to the brown and black one in the row next to the volvo. It looked kind of old, but it was still in perfect condition.

"Nope. It's this one." Maki patted the back of the red car. Aidan's eyes widened.

"Are you serious?"

"Yeah. Why wouldn't I be?"

"That's... it's so nice!" Aidan stuttered, at a loss for words.

"I don't know much about cars, so I'm assuming it's a good one?"

"Yes!" Aidan looked inside, the black leather just as shiny as the outside.

"It was lucky I picked this one out for you, then." Aidan unlocked the car, opening the door for Maki. He stepped in, Aidan soon following as he started the car.

"This is such a nice car..." Aidan whispered, feeling spoiled.

"I need to pay your mom back somehow."

"Tino says he's happy that you're around and making me happy." Maki replied, overjoyed with his choice.

"I'll continue to do that forever." Aidan leaned over, catching Maki's chin. He pulled him into a kiss, his tongue prodding Maki's lips. Maki, slightly embarrassed, opened his mouth in the slightest, just enough for Aidan to enter Maki's mouth in a fight for dominance.

Aidan only pulled away for breath, glancing at Maki. Maki blushed, a small smile playing on his lips.

"You should smile, Maki. It's so adorable." Maki blushed harder, grabbing onto Aidan's hand as he pulled onto the highway.

"We're home!" Maki called into his house as they entered. Tino and Berwald appeared, Tino in his Santa get-up.

"Hello, Aidan. Do you like the car?" Tino asked.

"Yep! It's so cool! Thank you!"

"Your welcome." Tino was beaming.

"Want to see our room?" Maki pulled on Aidan's arm.

"Our room?" Berwald asked, eyes widening.

"I told them they could share a room for the week." Tino explained.

"Two of them? Together?"

"Dad! What's the worst we can do?" Maki complained, blushing.

"I can think of a lot of things..." Berwald said. Aidan blushed slightly, not as hard as Maki was as he took his hand.

"Sorry..." Maki whispered.

"It's no problem. My mum would act the same way." Maki shut the door behind them, pouncing on Aidan.

"So what's her name?"

"Who?"

"The baby!" Maki rolled his eyes.

"Alaina."

"Alaina? That's a pretty name!"

"Yeah... I wanted to name her Roselithia."

"Roselithia? That's pretty too."

"Yeah... what can you do? Oh. That reminds me! I need a picture of you."

Maki's cheeks turned a light pink. "A picture of me?"

"Yeah. I want to paint you." Maki's cheeks turned a deep red.

"That's perfect! Right there!" Aidan grabbed his phone, snapping three pictures.

"Hey! Th-That's not fair!" Maki cried, grabbing for his phone. Oh god, if anyone saw him blushing that hard..."

"Should of prepared." Aidan shrugged, sticking his tongue out at Maki.

"Give it to me!"

"Nah. I'll just send this picture to my computer."

"Don't you dare!" Maki chased Aidan over the bed, tripping while up there and falling into Aidan's outstretched arms. Maki looked up at him, staring into his sparkling green eyes. Aidan pulled Mai upwards, planting his lips gently against Maki's, causing him to slightly moan.

"I didn't even do anything." Aidan smirked.

"Sh-Shut up!" Maki blushed. "It was just really sweet." Aidan pulled Maki carefully off the bed, pulling him into a hug.

"I've missed you." Aidan whispered into his hair, his arms around Maki's waist.

"I've missed you, too. More than you could know."

Downstairs, Tino and Berwald listened to the muffled sounds of running feet, and Maki's demands. Tino smiled at the ceiling, stopping in the middle of cooking.

"Sounds like they're having fun." Tino went back to cutting his carrots, Berwald slightly, just slightly, smiling. He was glad Maki was happy, and he seemed extremely happy.

After dinner, Aidan stayed on the bed, holding Maki in his arms. The movie they were watching was almost over, but they didn't pay any attention. They were chatting about random things, life, parents, and anything they felt like asking, but one topic was bugging Maki.

"Aidan?" Maki asked, squirming in frustration and embarrassment.

"Yeah?"

"I just wanted... to ask... I'm 16 and your 17 now so it's our decision... What about... s...s...sex?" Aidan choked on the popcorn he was eating, looking at Maki. '

"What?" Aidan coughed.

"It's not important!"

"I want to see if I heard right."

"S...sex..." Maki choked out.

"Maki... you can't force yourself. If you think I'm after that-"

"It's what I want. Aidan... I love you." Aidan pulled him into a kiss, pushing him slowly under him.

"I love you too." Aidan whispered as he slowly unbuttoned his shirt.

Aidan sat up sometime in the morning, and not hearing any sounds, he slowly got dressed. Maki awoke, rubbing his eyes and sitting up. Aidan grabbed on of Maki's shirts, handing it to him and kissing his forehead.

"Sore?" Aidan asked. Maki nodded, blushing. Aidan grinned, picking up his pajama pants and handing them over to Maki. Maki slipped them on, careful not to hurt himself.

"Did I hurt you?" Aidan asked, worried. Maki shook his head.

"N-no! It... it was just my first time..."

"Mine too." Aidan whispered, getting into bed with Maki. Maki wrapped his arms around Aidan, wanting his warmth to encase him. Aidan stroked his hair, kissing his forehead.

There was the sound of feet coming up the stairs, and Maki hurriedly pushed away from Aidan pretending to sleep. Aidan did the same, closing his eyes. The door opened, and Aidan went to peek open his eyes. An unfamiliar face met his eyes, and he sat up.

"Ma-" A hand grabbed Aidan's hair from the back, and a pillow placed over his mouth, he struggled, being forced down. Maki started to sit up, but was injected. Aidan tried to reach his hands out, determined to help Maki, but they were tied behind his back. Maki fell to the bed, and Aidan tried to scream before his vision became black.
