Aphmau's POV

*Play Song*

=========================

A few months later......

=========================

"Hey Aph, what are you doing here?" Zane asks me as I enter his office, a nervous look on my face.

"Uh Zane, do you mind if you could fly a doctor in for me?" I scratch the back of my neck, feeling a small tinge of guilt.

"......Who did you have in mind?"

*************************************

I open the door to the hospital roof, feeling the wind get stronger and stronger as it wraps around me, seeing a helicopter appearing in the distance.

The thumping of the blades swinging around starts slowing down as it descends on to the helipad, the door to it, opening.

The wind flaps at my lab coat, making me squint and lean down to keep my standing stance.

The door reveals a familiar face, hopping out and walking over to me.

When she gets close enough, we join in a hug, the wind flapping our hair violently in the wind.

"It's great to see you again Aphmau......" She yells over the wind.

"Same Lily, I'm glad you could come on such short notice...."

******************************

"Thank you so much for coming...." I thank her, entering the examination room.

"No worries, I'm honored that you trusted me with this...." Lily smiles, following behind me as she takes a quick glance outside before closing the door and locking it.

She then turns to me, her expression turning concerned while also being pitiful.

"I'm really sorry about what happened to Lilith.......she seemed like an amazing kid....." Lily assures sympathetically, gesturing me to lie down.

"She was....she really was......." The tone of the room suddenly dropping.

I lay myself down on the reclined chair, getting comfortable.

"Wait, weren't you telling me about a guy you were seeing in O'kasis?" I ask more cheerfully and slyly, making Lily shake her head while smiling.

"Nah, that lasted a week, oh get this, he apparently had a weird fetish for pink unicorns....." Lily scoffs, her naturally brown locks of hair streaming down her back.

"Heeeeey what's wrong with some MLP?.....wait...it wasn't Zane...was it?" I question, a bit suspicious, Lily sitting on the stool next to the table, setting everything up.

"Oh ew no, that emo nugget? Not my thing...." Lily grins, grabbing the cool gel in hand.

I laugh, pulling my shirt up right below my rib cage.

While applying the gel on my lower abdomen, Lily asks me about the large elephant in the room.

"So where's Aaron?"

"Craniotomy," I say nonchalantly, trying to avoid questioning.

"Don't mind me, but does the father of your unborn child know of its existence?" Lily inquires in an impressive British accent.

I swivel my head to her quick, opening my mouth to speak, but no words emit.

She raises an eyebrow, indication for an explanation I suppose.

I know its crazy, that I'm pregnant again in the face of a crisis. But I've been hiding this for a while....I was actually about to tell Aaron when the whole Angel thing unraveled.

The idiot keeps knocking me up.

I take a deep breath then exhale, turning my gaze to the ceiling, my heart sinking.

"I didn't tell Aaron yet because.....I didn't want him to be.....burdened..."

"Burdened? Aphmau, do we have to go over this again?" Lily chuckles, though her laughter fades slowly as she saw my expression.

"What is it?"

"Angel, our daughter, almost 2 years old, she has dilated cardiomyopathy......."

"Oh.....Aphmau....."

"She needs a heart transplant ASAP and..........Aaron and I have been so......stressed and pained lately......"  I start, and Lily finishes for me, taking the rounded tool around my lower abdomen.

"....So you don't want to pressure him with a new baby......" Lily finishes, pulling her upper lip into her mouth.

I merely nod, the cool feeling of the gel tingling my nerves.

Then I'm surprised, by yet another scoff.

I turn to her explanation.

"Aphmau.....darling......I'm really sorry about Angel.....but tell me....how did Aaron react when you told him you were pregnant with Angel?" She asks, looking at the screen, searching for the tiny fetus.

I think back a bit, smiling at the precious memory.

Lily notices my expression, simply nodding.

"See? Aaron....you and I both know he's the family kind....he loves his children more than anything......and to know that he has another one coming....." Lily starts, but I interrupt her.

"....I know Lily....I know that...so much.....but this time is different...."

"....what?"

"I want to wait till Angel gets her heart transplant, then I'll tell him......." I say

"Aphmau....you don't have to go through this alone......"

"Lily.....it means so much to me that you care.....but Aaron has taken care of me so much in my life.....so I'm gonna save him the extra stress for now....."

Lily sighs, but she nods her head.

"Okay......but just remember.....he will be happy about this.....and I can see the way he looks at you.....even when you just came to Phoenix Grace......."

"Kenmaur Garnet Memorial..." I correct, smiling slightly.

"Even when you just came to Kenmaur Garnet Memorial......I could see the way he looked at you.....and I instantly knew......you were always the one for him.....and that's also when I knew he would look after you......care for you.....love you......forever....." Lily then points to the screen, making me look, a large smile appearing on my face as a warm feeling fills my heart.

"There's your son......Aaron's son..." Lily remarks, pressing a button to print out the awe-inspiring image.

She hands me the printed picture, me taking it in hand, overjoyed, skimming my fingers across the lamented surface, my lips ajar in awe as I studied the image of a baby-shaped image on the piece of paper.

"I don't know Lily.....I just know I can't tell him now.....just...not right now....." I admit.

"I know......I know..."

*************************

Aaron's POV 

I shuffle down the corridor solemnly, squeezing the upper part of my nose with my fingertips, trying to shake my head of the tiredness feeling.

Surgery is as amazing as the great surgeons of the past have raved, but they all also admitted its very tiring work.

And then there's Angel....

We just seem to never get a break, can we?

Katelyn and Lucinda have been searching and scavenging for heart donor's of Angel's age, but its sadly not been successful lately.

How cruel could life be?

To try to take our last child.....

To take a bubbly happy absolutely too cute toddler and give her a fatal heart disease.

And Aph.....

She's been acting off lately.....

I'm not blind okay?

I know that she's hiding something from me....

I just don't know....what?

My thoughts are then interrupted, by an all too familiar voice.

"Aaron? Aaron Lycan?" 

I swivel my head to voice, smiling before joining in a friendly hug with my ex-wife.

Unlike most, we've managed to keep a civil coexisting relationship.

"Lily? It's been so long, how've you been?" I ask politely, trying to put on a smile.

"I've been good, and you look like you've been better..." She remarks, releasing the hug, gesturing to the eyebags and my panda eyes.

"Yeah......been in a bit of a rough patch recently..." I scratch nervously the back of my neck.

"I heard.....Aphmau told me about Angel...."

"Wait you've spoken with Aphmau?"

"Yes, and she is kinda the reason I'm here...." She states reluctantly.

What.....

Aphmau......

As my slow brain was piecing the puzzle together, I ask the obvious question.

"Why?......"

She takes a deep breath then exhales, looking to me, then hesitantly, say words that on that day, changed my world.

"She didn't want to tell you yet but......"

"She's pregnant Aaron......with your son...."

I've gotten myself into Fairy Tale my crystals....

And let me just say.....

GRAY IS COMPETING WITH PIZZA FOR MY BAE!

Edit: Nah it will always be Shawn Mendes and pizza 

Have a nice day my crystals!
