With Gerald Field occupied by 4th graders, the gang went to the park instead to play ball. It was a beautiful sunday, and Nadine and Lorenzo couldn't help but wave at one another. Rhonda in the midst of checking out her nails till someone actually hit the ball, sat in the outfield. Helga was the Catcher while, Harold was throwing insults, Arnold's way. Arnold tried to ignore it for the most part due to it was the same lines he has thrown him ever since they started playing baseball.

Helga would just roll her eyes at the school yard mocking. Harold spent more time doing this then actually throwing the ball. "Ehhhhh come on and throw the ball will ya. Sheesh." She complained loudly.

Arnold smirked a little at hearing her egg, Harold on to actually start playing the game.

"Ohhhh and you got your little girlfriend to help you too, Arrrrrrnullllddddddd." Harold continued to tease. "I think I'm gonna puke. Ha ha!"

Producing a ball from behind her, Helga instantly stood up to throw it at Harold hitting him in the stomach. Watching him double over in pain, Helga looked at, Arnold with a very innocent expression on her face. "What?"

Shaking his head, Arnold at least had some good humor. "You know that you have a very hard throw."

Shrugs. "Yeah I know. Next time I'll throw the ball at him like many pre-schoolers."

Getting up slowly, Harold was still clutching his stomach. "Ahhhh, Helga you hurt me. Why?"

Placing her hand on her hips, Helga went up to him to converse. "Harold, you spent 4 minutes trying to tear down, Sid. You spent a couple minutes with, Eugene, 5 minutes with, Gerald, and now you have been going after Arnold for 7 stinking minutes. Throw the ball. We are all getting old."

"But I'm supposed to do that." Harold complained.

"Yes, but not for that long." Places a hand on his shoulder. "I'm sorry for doing that to you, but I fear you wouldn't listen otherwise. So are you willing to play ball now?"

"Yes, Madame Fortress Mommy."

Turning around, Helga hoped that he would stop calling out for his mother once he becomes an adult. Giving a wink to, Arnold, she resumed her original position. "I do enjoy my view from back here, Football Head."

"I'm glad, Swan. Oh if I get a home run, I'm rushing to this plate to kiss you." He informed her.

"Then hit one out of the park." She encouraged. "Perhaps I'll even take my top off."

"Hey, that's more distracting than, Harold's insults." Seeing, Harold wind up, Arnold readied himself as the ball was finally thrown. Waiting, Arnold swung the bat hitting it past everyone. "Be prepared for that kiss."

Standing up, Helga watched as he managed to clear first and second base, while the others were running to the ball so they can grab it to throw. Gerald and Curly already ran past her, while Arnold was reaching third base. Seeing, Rhonda toss the ball poorly, it never reached anyone else as, Arnold came into home plate.

Lifting her catcher's mask off her face, Arnold crushed her to him. "I had the best motivation ever." Crashing his lips against hers, he vaguely heard groaning behind him. He didn't care. Let them whine.

Smiling away, Helga opened her eyes to catch a glimpse of someone staring her down from the outskirts of the field. "Arnold, there is someone staring right this way pretty intently." She spoke softly.

"Is it your dad?" Arnold was tempted in whipping around, but didn't want them to suddenly duck out of sight.

"No."

Making a show that he was about to go back to join his team, Arnold saw how the guy was picking his teeth with a toothpick as he continued to stare. "Let's not over think this. He's probably just watching the game."

"Hope he doesn't expect a hot dog." Helga grinded out a bit of sarcasm. She hated when people stared. Don't people have better things to do?

The man flicked his toothpick away from his body just then before strolling away.

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

His breath caught at watching what seemed like the other's alabaster skin was aglow in the late sunlight. This person was beautiful to him. They walked along the sidewalk in smooth grace. Their skin was unmarred looking. The lips full and kissable looking. His heart thumped in a crazy rhythm that seemed to harken some sort of wild dance. A dance he wanted to be apart of.

There was a pause from the person he was admiring. He watched as they glanced in his direction. He was half tempted in hiding behind the wall so they couldn't see the person in the window spying on them. No, he was brave. He smiled towards the object of his affection. The person didn't shy away. They winked. It was a wink that set his heart aflame.

There wasn't much else after that moment as the person roamed away. Oh he hoped he would get to see that person again. Maybe next time he'll introduce himself.

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

With Arnie now gone, Arnold turned his desk chair to face, Helga as she laid on her stomach on his bed. She had this look of utter contentment written all over her face as she read. Getting up, he crossed the room so he can sit by the side of her. Bending down, he kissed her ear lobe while his hand moved down her back.

"Tell me how many times have you red this book."

Helga's pulse raced at what he was doing. "I lost count after 15." Feeling his hand inch up the back of her shirt, Helga giggled at the ticklish sensation it gave her.

Shifting himself, Arnold moved to kiss the exposed portion of her back. "So that must mean you have memorized it by now."

Eyes closing, Helga felt butterflies forming in her stomach. Closing her book, she turned to lay on her back. "Are you wanting me to stop reading?" Her tone was gentle.

Lifting her shirt up a little, Arnold kissed her toned stomach. "No." Brushes his hand softly against her, Arnold smiled at the pleased sound she produced. "Is this distracting you?"

Playing with his hair, Helga smirked at his play tone. "Actually not. So tell me how else you can distract me."

Very swiftly, he removed his shirt. "How's this for starters?" His gaze was half lidded as he maneuvered himself to lay by her side. Head propped up by his hand, he continued to touch her.

Feeling his chest, Helga moved to kiss him there. "How about..." Her eyes moved up to meet his own. "You shut up and kiss me." She suggested huskily.

Wrapping his free arm around her body, Arnold pressed her against him. "With pleasure."

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Taking a rest from walking, Lila leaned against Mighty Pete with a satisfied smile on her face. It was a beautiful day today and it felt good to walk with her beau. Reaching out to him, Lila brought Brainy closer to her. She enjoyed how he was examining her. How he reached out to place a hand on her abdomen, while leaning into her to kiss her. She felt weak in such a good way while wrapping her arms around him. Lila wanted him closer to her, and thankfully he took the hint.

Their kisses deepened and they both got more excited. She wondered if his place was free right now of any parents, when he affirmed it, Lila suggested they go there to be more alone. Pulling away from her, Brainy gently took her hand to begin guiding her away only pausing when they saw, Stinky standing there dumbfounded.

Lila and Brainy were stuck with words as all three stared. Lila knew she had to be the one to say something. "Stinky?"

Stinky watched the whole kissing session and had no idea how he felt about it. "How long has this been going on?"

"Um we can't say for certain of our actual start date, but a little before March." Brainy replied. "We were going to talk to you."

Scratching the back of his neck in thought, Stinky decided to focus on Lila. "I know I broke up with you, but did you have feelings for him before we did?"

"No, I didn't. I just had feelings for him as a friend. One day we took a walk after we broke up, and well I felt much closer to him as a friend." Lila explained. "I only developed my crush a little later."

"Well gosh, I can't exactly be mad on account of me having been seeing, Gloria for the past two weeks. I just wanted to know." He told her honestly. "Is there anything else you want to let me know?"

Lila and Brainy looked at one another for moral support. "Well, Stinky there is one other thing." Lila said as they both stepped closer. "This other thing is rather huge and very unexpectant. This needs to be kept a secret. Could you keep a secret?"

"You can trust me, Lila. I'll keep this a secret." He assured her.

"I'm pregnant." Lila announced finding herself shaking out of nervousness. "I meant to wait, but well I couldn't help myself."

Taking a step back from her, Stinky couldn't believe his ears. "You mean you had premarital relations and now you are expecting? Do you know how wrong this is? I thought you were a god fearing woman, and you did this. What would he think of you now?"

Miserable at his words, Lila bowed her head down while, Brainy narrowed his eyes. "It happened. We weren't expecting this. It was both our doing and shaming her will not help. We will bring this child into the world. We will raise it to the best of our abilities. Lila will make a wonderful mother. If this happened to you, Stinky, I know she wouldn't say that to you. She would support you." Wrapping his arm protectively around her waist, Brainy felt shame for him. "Come on, Lila, let's head back."

Stinky watched them leave wondering what exactly he was mad at. Was he mad she was already in another relationship or was he mad at the fact she's pregnant? The fact remained was that, Brainy was correct in what he said. He felt like a darn fool.

Well one person found out so far about Lila and Brainy.

By the way does anyone know not to wave a knife around? Some people don't so I got stabbed in the wrist. Waving knives around is not fun because you get really hurt. :(
