"I hope you're doing better," Fabian told Nina as he brought her some hot tea.

"As long as I don't sleep, I'm fine," Nina moaned.

"I can stay with you through the nights, just to make things better."

"Fabian, that's sweet, but I'll be ok. You don't have to go through so much."

"As your boyfriend, I insist."

Fabian and Nina were still just boyfriend and girlfriend. For a while, Fabian had planned a proposal to Nina; he just hadn't done it. He had the ring and everything. Sometimes he suspected Nina was waiting for it. Some moments when they had dinner together. Others when silence lingered between them. He couldn't even work up the courage to ask for them to move in together.

"And as your girlfriend, I insist upon you not stressing yourself over me too much," Nina responded. "I swear, I'm doing alright."

Fabian sat down by Nina from his standing position. "You know, we haven't seen the others for a while. Why not catch up with them?"

"Maybe."

Fabian could hear the solemn tone of Nina's voice. He wrapped his arm around her and pressed her into his chest as comfort. Nina put the tea on the table in front of them and nearly melted into Fabian's embrace. For some reason, he could pull her away from the rest of the world and provide comfort like no other.

"I love you, Fabian."

"I love you way too much, Nina Martin."

Joy ended up not returning to her apartment when planned to. Not because of her duty, but because she didn't want to leave Jerome's side in the hospital.

He still hadn't woken up, but doctors declared that he'd make it. When she'd return to work on Monday, she'd be the one responsible for figuring out what happened to him.

Joy hadn't seen Jerome in years. It was after the reunion while they were in college(referring to House of Anubis: Reunion!). They had a terrible break up and haven't seen eachother since.

Joy realized she'd have to get back to her apartment in time for her date with Erik. She squeezed Jerome's limp hand and kissed him on his forehead. She left the hospital and headed home.

After changing clothes, she knocked on the door to Erik's apartment. He opened it, revealing himself all freshened up with a button-up shirt, black pants, and a classic red bow tie. Meanwhile, Joy was in a blue, floral dress that just met her knees, tied off with a black sweater.

"You're beautiful," Erik commented.

"Thank you," Joy smiled.

They headed out to Erik's choice, and he ended up picking Antonio's, an Italian restaurant. He already had reservations at a booth for them.

"I hope this isn't too fancy," Erik said.

"No, not at all. I quite like it."

They ordered their drinks, and when the waiter returned, their meals. Joy ordered a type of pasta, and Erik ordered ravioli. They handed the waiter their menus and engaged in discussion. Or, at least attempted to.

Joy's mind drifted off to Jerome as her cheek rested on the palm of her hand.

"Joy? Is everything alright?" Erik asked after noticing her lost expression. "Something on your mind?"

"No," Joy lied, putting her hand down.

"I know you well enough to know when you're lying to me, Joy. Did something happen at work?"

Joy swallowed. She reached her hands out and took Erik's in hers. "I don't want to talk about that right now. I want this night to be about us. It's the whole reason you asked me on a date, wasn't it?"

Erik nodded slowly. "I suppose so."

After truly engaging in conversation, their food came out, and even then they practically went on nonstop.

Alfie stood in the airport with his hands in his pockets. He was just waiting for the love of his life to arrive. She'd gone on a vacation with her parents, and her plane should be landing any minute now.

Once she spotted Alfie, Willow took off from her parents and went straight into Alfie's arms. They were already married and had been for six months.

"Alfie! I have exciting news!" Willow exclaimed when she parted from Alfie. "I found out I'm pregnant!"

Alfie swallowed and was nearly going to be sick. "Pregnant?"

"Yeah, I barfed like three times on the vacation! Mom told me to take a pregnancy test, and...it was positive!"

Alfie felt himself getting real hot, and he felt as though he had a lack of oxygen. He began hyperventilating, and Willow tried to comfort him.

~~~~~
Once they were at home, Alfie and Willow were attempting to have a discussion about the matter.

"A baby!" Alfie exclaimed, pacing around. "I'm going to have to take care of a mini-me and you. I can barely take care of myself!"

"Alfie, it can't be too hard. Plus, we're doing it together."

"That doesn't calm down any of the anxiety." Alfie panted. "I want to cry."

Willow grinned at him. "Oh, Alfie. Being a dad will sink in soon enough. And if it doesn't, you'll be forced to accept it."

"Thanks, honey," Alfie told her sarcastically.

"So, I've already thought about it, and while he or she is in the womb, we should merge our names together for his or her name. So, there's Walfie, Wilfie, Allow, and Wilalowfie."

Alfie swallowed and decided to choose, "Wilfie sounds best."

"My thoughts too. Aw, you see, we're already on our way to parenthood."

Willow hugged Alfie. He hesitantly hugged back, still thinking of the fact he was going to be a dad.

Still kind of an opening chapter to let you know everything going on in their lives. Also, I realized, and some of you may have realized that the bad things happen to Jerome just like in the other fanfic. I really don't mean to. I love Jerome's character, and I apologize for that. Also, I'm sorry to you strong Amfie shippers out there.

Anyways, discussion questions time!

Do you think Joy will grow closer to Jerome?

What could have caused them to break up?

How do you feel about Joy and Erik?

And finally, how do you feel about Willow and Alfie having a baby?

Thanks for reading!
