{Vanessa}

"Ferbs, wait! You forgot the car keys!" I shouted to my favorite green head.

I threw the keys to him and he smiled. Jeez, he may be a man of action but does he have to keep killing me with that smile of his?

We drove to my Dad's penthouse and I kept fidgeting with his bow tie while he drove.

"Are you sure you'll be fine?" I asked again, for the millionth time. I couldn't help it. I was nervous for him.
"I'll be fine, Nessa. I've known your dad for a long time, I'm sure I can handle him." He replied.
"I know you can, it's just...I'm just nervous is all." I sighed.
He kept his eyes on the road but he took my hand and grinned softly. "I'll be fine, love."

When we arrived at my Dad's house, we walked to the elevator and waited patiently as it rushed to the top

"Daniel, I told you already. You're too young for me."

Ferb and I turned our attention to the two kids that were also in the elevator. They looked to be about the same age as when Ferb and I met.

"But I just wanted to give you this flower, Philomena..." The younger boy said.
Philomena sighed and then took the flowers. "Thanks..."

Daniel's face lit up. He turned towards the elevator door with the biggest smile I've ever seen. Unknown to him, Philomena turned slightly and smelled the flowers with a small grin. Ferb looked at me, amused, and then led me out the elevator when the door rang. We laughed when the elevator closed. When I saw his bright smile, my heart almost burst. Ferb never really laughs so seeing this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity was making me so happy.

"Vanessa, sweetheart? Are you out there?" My dad's door unlocked and he smiled when he saw us doubled over in laughter.
"H-Hey, Dad. Sorry. Ferb and I were just...reminiscing some memories." I choked.
Ferb drew in a sharp breath. "Good...good morning, Dr. Doofenshmirtz."
"Hello, Vanessa. Hello, Ferb. Come in! I made dookleberry pie! Want some?"

We followed my Dad into his penthouse. I swear my mom pays him too much alimony. He took a plate from his robot butler, Norm.

"Dookleberry pie?" He asked.
I looked at Ferb and he shook his head. "No thanks, Dad."
"Ok, your loss. Norm! Go make yourself useful and get me a fork!" He yelled.
"Yes, Sir!" Norm obeyed and walked off to the kitchen.

"Now, what were you here for, again?" He asked.
"You and Ferb are spending the day to get along." I reminded him.
"Oh...b-but it's bowling night..." He stuttered.
"Then take him. Go bowling, grade your papers, just get along." I said.
"But-" I stopped him.
"If you don't, Mom'll stop sending the alimony checks." I said.
He stopped. Then he looked at Ferb with a big smile. "Ferb, my...son-in-law! Want to come see my inators that I used to make? Oh, what fun Perry the Platypus and I had! He's coming for bowling night, you know."

Ferb turned his head slightly to glance at me. I muffled my laughter and just shooed at him.

"Well, I'll be going, Dad! Don't do anything 'evil' or whatever." I called out.
"Yes, yes, of course! Bye, sweetheart!" He said and let Ferb to a door.

I let myself out and closed the door. I hope Ferb'll be ok. I mean, he is the co-owner of toys, entertainment, technology, and science companies with Phineas. Actually, anything you name, Phineas and Ferb are most likely the top company for it. That's my Ferb.

I felt a swift pain in my stomach and I groaned. It's felt like someone was punching me in the gut but no one was there.

"Vanessa?" Isabella ran over with Phineas.
"Nessa, are you alright?" Phineas asked.
"What...what are you guys doing here?" I asked, slowly breathing.
"I wanted to tell Ferb that meeting with Bricks Toy Company was cancelled. Something about their toys not selling..." Phineas said.
"Don't listen to him. He just wanted to check out your Dad's house." Isabella smirked.
"Because it's so cool! It's the only purple, odd-shaped building in Danville!" Phineas exclaimed.
"You know you could make your own if you wanted?" Isabella said.
"Well, yea...Ferb, I mean, Izzy! I know what we're going to do today!" Phineas said.

I leaned over as I felt another swift pain. What the heck is that?!

Isabella and Phineas looked at me with concern in their eyes.

"Phineas, I know what we're going to do today. And it's not building an odd-shaped house." Isabella added.
"Are we taking her home?" Phineas asked.
"Maybe a nice rest will make you feel better, Vanessa." Isabella said.
"Thanks, guys, but I can get home. My car's right outside." I said.
"I'll tell Ferb that we're taking you home and that your car is in the parking lot." Phineas said.
"It's fine. I can dri-" I stopped as a sharper pain came and I had to stop myself from saying things I'd regret.
"Ok, change of plans. We're taking you to the hospital." Isabella said.
"Wait, but-"

I didn't stand a chance. They rushed me the elevator and didn't let me speak. Even as we were driving, Isabella made Phineas keep me from saying anything.

As we walked up to the secretary, there were more sharp pains but I held back. I didn't want Phineas and Isabella so concerned about me, more than they already were. Maybe I just ate something weird.

"Vanessa Fletcher?" The secretary called my name.
"That's me." I stood up.
"Doctor Hirano will see you in room 729 shortly." She said.
"Thanks." I said.

Just as we were about to leave, she called Phineas back. "Hey, aren't you Phineas Flynn? The man with a plan? The modern renaissance man?"
"Why yes, yes I am!" Phineas smiled.

I glanced back and watched, amused, as Isabella's face got red. The secretary looked to be about their age and every girl about their age seemed to have a crush on Phineas. Luckily for me, they stopped liking Ferb when I married him.

"Would you like to go grab some dinner with me? Say, Saturday at 8:00 p.m. at Chez Platypus?" She asked.
"Chez Platypus? Izzy, remember that old restaurant we made as kids? I'd love to see how it's doing." Phineas laughed.
"So you'll come?" The lady asked.

I cringed as Phineas nodded his head. Isabella was burning mad now. She stomped over to Phineas and grabbed his arm.

"Sorry, but he's taken." Her teeth grinded with annoyance.
"Oh, Izzy! Want to come and check out Chez Platypus with me?" Phineas asked
"Wait, but didn't you say you'd go with me?" The girl asked.
"Yea! Could you show me where it is? I was hoping to do a little surprise there for someone." Phineas said, way too obviously.
"Oh...um it's in the next town..." The girl said.
"Thanks! Here's a tip!" Phineas handed her a wad of cash and walked over to me with Isabella still clinging to his arm.

"Izzy, you can let go. I just wanted to know where it was." Phineas laughed softly at his girlfriend.
"I worked too fricking hard to let go." Isabella murmured, angrily.

Phineas smiled and then kissed the top of her head. Isabella's frown disappeared and a small grin spread on her face.

"Jeez, Phineas..." Isabella said.
"Love you, Izzy." Then he looked at me. "Room 729, right?"
I looked at them for a few seconds more and then started walking towards the room. "Yea."

Dr. Hirano was already in the room when we got there and she beamed when she saw us.

"Isabella! Phineas! And Vanessa, right? Nice to see you!" She exclaimed.
"Hello, Mrs. Hirano! How's Ginger?" Isabella asked.
"Well, she's enjoying her visit to her relatives in Japan with Stacey and her boyfriend, Baljeet, so I'll say she's having a great time. By the way, don't tell her but I approve of that Baljeet boy. Pretty sharp and a college professor since eighteen." She laughed.
"I haven't seen any of my alumni for a while...maybe I should call them up..." Isabella muttered.
"Well, you didn't come here to chat with me! So, what can I do for you?" She asked.
"I've been feeling pains since morning in my stomach." I explained.
"Hmm..." She put her stethoscope on my stomach. After a few moments, she smiled. "We'll do an ultrasound to see if something's in there. Just stay here and I'll be right back." She said and left.

"Do you ok right now?" Isabella asked me.
"Yea. It just stopped when she put the stethoscope on my stomach. I don't what it is." I said.
"Don't worry, Nessa. If anything is wrong, Ferb and I'll help!" Phineas beamed.
I smiled at the thought of Ferb. "I know."

AH THIS ONE WAS REALLY LONG SORRY
