That's Lilly Barry :)

After three hours of playing a stressful and thrilling game of Call Of Duty, Jaxon and I won, and you should have seen their faces. It was absolutely fantastic to witness your own victory in their defeated eyes. I told you I'm the queen of this game!

"Not fair," Noah whined, then slammed the controller on the couch and pouted like a puppy. He's like Hunter when he loses. I would feel sorry for him, but... Eh. I'm not that kind.

I just smiled. "Yeah, you just got beaten by a girl. That's totally unfair." Jaxon smiled, and I nodded, feeling proud of my particular skills. I may be studying medicine, and it's hard to find time, but I always got the time for this game at home.

We stayed quiet for five minutes until I could not handle the silence anymore. "Hey Aaron, how is Lilly?" I asked, remembering him telling us she was sick yesterday.

He looked at me with nervousness in his eyes. "Um, she's fine..." He paused for a second then he looked right into my eyes. He looked too serious if you asked me. "Ariel, can I talk with you, please? And alone," Aaron requested, stood up, and I followed him upstairs to see what was up with him.

"Okay, it's about Lilly," he announced as we sat on a big bed, probably Jaxon's room. I didn't pay any attention when I entered.

I nodded, and he began talking. "I went to see her yesterday, and Lilly was so sick. She was puking and looking pale like a ghost from the nineties, and she didn't talk to me like she always does. She also hit me... on the head... with a frying pan... that had smashed pepper in it... So, since you are studying medicine and about to be a great doctor, I am sure, what do you think?" he asked with a worried expression.

Well, I can't be sure, but...

"First of all, what the hell is wrong with that pan? And second, what was she eating lately?" I asked with a thoughtful face. I had ideas.

"Pickles, sour food, and ice cream with mangoes... Altogether," he answered with a cloaked expression. Oh, okay, I think... Nope, I need to see her.

"Can you take me to her? Like, right now," I asked, already walking out of the room to the stairs. I did not need him to reply because either way, I'd go.

"Sure." He finally replied and followed suit.

"We are going out for a bit," I stated as I opened the main door. Jaxon stood up, arms crossed with one raised eyebrow. "With who?" He asked. He doesn't trust me, huh? Well, I would not trust myself either if I'm kidnaped. But this time is for a good cause, and I'm not alone.

"With me, we won't be late," Aaron called as we rushed to the car. We were running like we saw a shirtless male model giving free Ice cream to everyone. Well, I'm running like that... Aaron was just running for his girl.

"Do you have any idea of what her condition is?" He asked me as we drove off.

"Yeah, but I need to make sure, so stop at a pharmacy and give me money," I demanded, and he handed me a 100 dollars bill with a confused look. After five minutes, I saw a pharmacy and hopped out of the car. I entered to be greeted by a cheerful old man.

"How can I help you?" He asked politely. I told him about Lilly, and he agreed to my conclusion and handed me what I needed. And he asked the same question... What was in the pan? Great minds think alike.

"Thank you so much, sir, have a wonderful day!" I said. After I paid him, I returned to the car to see Aaron looking anxious, like he had some itching powder in his pants.

I handed him the change. "What did you buy?" Aaron asked, and I rolled my eyes.

"You don't have to know right now. Now, drive to Lilly's house," I ordered, and he drove without another question. Obedient boy. I'm enjoying this.

We arrived at a cute casual one-story house. It had a small garden and swings. This neighborhood is so peaceful.

"Come on." He got out of the car and rang the doorbell. As we waited, I felt nervous. I did not know why, though. Maybe because I'm about to check something awkward.

The door cracked open, and a beautiful girl stood before us. She had bright brown hair that reached her mid-back and wide hazel eyes with pink lips. She was gorgeous. "Aaron? Hey, babe, what are you doing here?" She asked in a sweet tone that could be a lullaby for anyone.

She looked at me with a bright smile that could ease your day. "Hey there," she shook my hand lightly. I like her, she's lovely. Good choice, Aaron. I'm proud of you, son! And I can't believe that this is the same girl that he described to me.

"Lilly, this is Ariel, umm... Jaxon's guest, Ariel, this is Lilly, my everything, my one and only girlfriend," Aaron introduced with a proud and happy smile. He loves her so much.

Good. I wanted to have a boyfriend like that but no!

I have overprotective brothers who scare every single guy.

I have a guy best friend because he has a fiancé and a soon-to-be wife. If you are wondering, he's 22, and she's 20.

Now back to my brothers, wait till they know I'm kidnapped by four hot guys.

Well, one of them is taken, so yeah...They will freak out.

Lilly looked at me like she was hit by a truck of realization. "Come in, how rude of me." She invited us in, and we nodded. I looked at her with a smile as we were in the hallway. "Lilly, I'm studying medicine, and I need to talk to you in your room, please?" I asked her politely. Straight to the point, I know.

She looked at me, then at Aaron, confused but nodded anyway. "Aaron, stay here," I demanded then we went.

Aaron

I watched Lilly and Ariel walk out of sight, and I felt restless, so I went to the living room and turned on the TV. You know, to relax a bit, but I could not rest knowing my girl was not okay. What was wrong with my baby? Ariel was acting weird...Well, she's always odd, but this time was different. I just hope that my girl is okay.

After watching half an hour of a brand new movie that I didn't focus on much, Ariel came into view with a vast smile on her face. I looked behind her and my eyes caught an embarrassed and nervous Lilly. I got up from the couch and approached them slowly. "So, are you okay?" I asked calmly, but inside I was nowhere near calm. I grabbed her hands in mine and waited.

There was silence for a few minutes, but then Lilly looked at me with a blush, averted her gaze, and looked at the floor while playing with the hem of my shirt. "Aaron... I don't know what to say, so I won't stall. I-I'm pregnant," she stated.

As the words left her beautiful mouth, I felt utter joy and happiness overwhelm me. I'm going to be a dad? I'm going to be a dad! She's the mom! We are going to be a happy family. I will make sure of that.

I carefully held her by the waist and spun her around in the air. "Woho, yes! I love you so much. I'm going to be a dad, yes! Wait, I'm the father, right?"

She looked me in the eyes and cupped my cheeks. "Who else? I love you too, Aaron. You are the best," she replied with soft giggles. I put her down and then hugged Ariel a friendly hug.

"Thank you, Ariel, so... you bought a pregnancy test, huh?" I asked with a grin, and she chuckled.

"Yup, and no need to thank me, ever since I came here, all I hear is this. It's really okay. I love helping. Your reaction was cute, and just so you know... I'm not returning the change. I am buying Oreos." She replied with a smirk.

She's an amazing weird kidnapped friend.

It's funny and selfish to say that, but I'm glad we kidnapped her.

"So, just to be clear... you're not mad?" Lilly asked me this silly question.

I looked at her with a genuine smile. "What? Of course I'm not mad, baby. On the contrary, I'm super happy and calm, well not calm but definitely not mad," I replied, then kissed her nose gently.

As the silence engulfed us, Ariel cleared her throat. "Okay, I need to go back, and Aaron, you have the car, so I hate to break it to you, cute couple, but I need to leave," she pointed out while rubbing the nape of her neck, and Lilly laughed at her.

"It's okay, you can go," Lilly said with a reassuring smile and patted my back gently. "Ariel, I will see you soon," she added, and Airel nodded.

I pecked my girl's cheek and smiled. "Okay, but I will be back," I replied; then, we walked to the car and headed home. Best day ever!
