Arabella's POV

It's been over a week since Henry and I broke up and it's been very awkward between the two of us. We haven't spoken too much and I haven't even been over to his house which weird to me, because I'm always at his house. It's like my second home and now it's like I barely even know the place now. Charlotte and Jasper are constantly trying to get us to make up and get back together, but I can't even look at Henry without crying. It's too hard.

Henry and I are still friends, but I don't want to be friends. I want to be his princess again, but I don't know if he feels the same. I just want everything to be the way it was before we had our argument and just fix everything, but I don't know how.

Anyway, I was at at Henry's house trying to get a retainer out of Charlotte's mouth. Long story short, Piper was taking care of a bird, Otto, but Charlotte made the mistake of mentioning that Henry is Kid Danger in front of it and now the bird is repeating that sentence. So now, Henry, Charlotte and Jasper are trying to hide Otto from Piper and figure out a situation to make it stop, and it's just all craziness at the moment. Just thinking about it gives me a headache and not to mention Henry's on my mind and it hurts just thinking about that boy.

I haven't seen Henry so I'm good at the moment and hopefully won't burst into tears if I do see him. I'm literally trying my hardest not to run into his arms and beg him to take me back. Honestly, I'm not sure he wants me back, he doesn't act like he does, but to be fair I don't act like it either. He's hasn't flirted with any girls, in fact he actually ignores them and walks away.

"Hold still," I told Charlotte poking the inside of her mouth. "I can't see it."

"It's not comfortable," she remarked.

"Wow, your teeth are perfect," I chuckle and she rolled her eyes.

"I know, I've been told I do," Charlotte told me and I tried to yank on the retainer, but she flinched and groaned in pain." Ow!"

"Sorry!" I apologized to her, "just hold still."

"Girls! Stop kissing! We've got a crisis downstairs!" I heard Jasper and I turned to see him and Henry standing there.

Crap.

Henry and I stared at one another, until Charlotte bumped my shoulder and Jasper hit Henry's. I stumbled and awkwardly scooted back with red cheeks and Henry rubbed his neck.

"We weren't kissing," Charlotte told Jasper. "Bella's trying to get this retainer out of my mouth."

"Yeah, and no offense, I don't wanna kiss you," I told Charlotte and she waved me off.

"I'm not into girls like that," Charlotte remarked.

But, if I was Lesbian, Charlotte would be the first girl I would kiss. She's a beautiful girl with a kickbutt of a personality. There's a reason why she's Queen Char on my phone and just in my life in general.

(Let's just take a moment to appreciate the absolute queen not only Charlotte is, but Riele Downs herself. Like oof, she is an absolute slay👏👏😍)

I looked at Jasper's face and noticed a bush above his lips.

"When did you grow that mustache?" I asked Jasper with a smile.

"When I was in Iowa," he smirked and I nodded.

"Wow," I say. "That is a sick stache, dude."

"Thanks, Bella!" He smiled and hi-fived me.

"Has the whole world gone crazy?" Charlotte asked with disbelief and I gave her a chuckle.

"Hey, my retainer case!" Jasper smiled, picking up the retainer case. "Where'd you guys find this?"

Oh... poor Charlotte.

"This is your retainer?" Charlotte asked him with shock and I giggled, which caused her to whack me.

"Aye," I pout.

"If it came from that case, then yes," Jasper nodded. "So, in a way, you're kind of kissing me."

"Ew, ew, ew, ew, ew, ew!" Charlotte exclaimed with disgust as she got up.

I noticed Henry leaning against his dresser and we mare awkward eye contact for a split second before we both looked away.

This break is gonna be the death of me.

"So, where's Otto?" I asked and Henry opened his closet door to reveal Otto sitting inside it.

Henry is Kid Danger!

Henry shut the door afterwards before his watch beeped and he answered it to see my dad and Mary appear.

"Hey, what's up, guys, we've got a little bit of a situation here," Henry greeted them.

"We heard Jasper has a mustache now," my dad smiled. "Let us see it!"

"Jasper, come here."

Jasper popped into view with a grin and the couple smiled.

"Wow," Mary giggled. "Sick!"

"Wow, Captain Man that's a sweet stache!" My dad laughed.

"Are you kidding me?" Charlotte asked them and I chuckled.

"Schwoz! Have you seen Jasper's stache?! It's sweet!" My dad called off screen and Schwoz ran in.

"You like?" Jasper asked him.

"Yeah! That is a very manly lip sweater!" Schwoz mentioned.

"I'll say it again, has the whole world gone crazy?" Charlotte asked shaking her head.

"Crazy for Jasper's stache!" Mary scoffed.

"You're getting a raise, buddy!" My dad declared and Jasper cheered as Henry pushed him aside.

"Yes!"

"Woo!" I cheered and fist bumped the boy.

"Look, later on we can all give some love to Jasper's lip sweater," Henry began.

"Can and will!" My dad chuckled.

"Right now, we have a problem, okay? Cuz Piper's talking bird found out that I'm Kid Danger, so now I'm hiding it in my closet so it doesn't tell the secret to everyone in Swellview," Henry explained to the three.

My dad laughed, "you've got yourself in quite the pickle, my friend!"

"Yeah, yeah, but here's what I'm thinking, I'm gonna go to the pet store and I'm gonna find one that looks exactly like-"

"Naaaa, that's stupid," my dad interrupted and I rolled my eyes.

"Okay?"

"What you need, is a bird clone," my dad began and Charlotte, Jasper and I share a look.

"What?" Henry asked.

"Yeah, what?" Mary asked the boys.

"You clone a bird?" Ray asked Schwoz.

"Yep!" Schwoz nodded.

"He can clone a bird," my dad repeated. "What you need? Feather?"

"Yep!"

"He just needs a feather," my dad shrugged.

"We can get a feather," Henry shrugged.

"Great! You get us a feather, Schwoz clones a new bird, they don't know nothing from nothing, we kill the old one, swap in the old one, bada boom, bada bing, me, Schwoz, Mary, and Jasper go to the batting cages!" My dad rambled and I grinned in amusement.

"Yes!" Jasper cheered.

"Ehh, let's not kill the old one!" Henry protested.

"Patato, potato, just bring us a feather," my dad summarized.

"Potato, patato," Henry corrected.

"Patato, potato. Potato, patato, just bring us a feather, you spicy patato!" My dad snapped and Mary rubbed his back, before he walked off screen and Schwoz and Mary waved to him.

"Bye!" They smiled before Henry closed his watch.

"Alright, easy, enough, I'll get a feather," Henry shrugged and opened the closet door.

Henry is Kid Danger!

"He really likes saying that," Charlotte mentioned.

"Yeah."

The bedroom door opened and Piper walked in, making us all freak.

"Hi, Piper!" I greeted, which caused Henry to shut the closet door.

"Hi?" She greeted with confusion and I smiled awkwardly with the others, "the cops are downstairs and they want to talk to Jasper and Henry."

"Then we will go downstairs," Henry said.

"Let's go," Jasper agreed and the followed Piper out the door.

"Fantastic! I'm excited!"

"Yeah!"

Henry turned to us with a whisper, "get a feather!"

I nodded before he shut the door and Otto repeated the phrase again.

"Let's get that feather," I said but Charlotte grabbed my shoulder.

"Yeah, but can we talk about you and Henry speaking to each other for the first time?" She asked and I chuckled.

"No," I denied and scoffed. "Because that's awkward."

"Bells," she sighed. "This is important and frankly, it makes Jasper and I uncomfortable."

"Look, we broke up, and to me it's hard to be just friends," I explained.

"Then get back together."

"If only life worked like that," I shrugged and she rolled her eyes. "But it doesn't."

"All of us hate this uncomfortable situation between the two of you and it has to change," Charlotte told me. "Just talk to him and be friends."

"Henry doesn't want to talk to me," I say."

"He does, but he thinks you don't want to talk to him."

I let out a sigh and faced her, "can we focus on getting a feather, please?"

"Okay," she reluctantly agreed and we looked at the door together, before I opened it. "Okay, Otto, you're not using all those feathers, are ya?"

"Can we just grab....one?" We scooted inside and reached for the bird, who suddenly began to flap its wings wildly and squawk vigorously, making us yell and panic like nuts as it flew around the place. Charlotte and I ran out in fear, before racing back in moments later and faced this bird for a dumb feather.

——

After a lot of fighting, screaming, and yelling, Charlotte and I eventually got a feather and burst out of the closet with tattered clothes, messed up hair, and scratches on our faces.

"Got it!" We exclaimed.

Henry is Kid Danger!

"Shut up!" I scream at the annoying bird and slammed the door.

Charlotte opened the door, "sorry for slamming the door!"

"I'm not sorry!" I snap and slam the door again, "that is one crazy bird! And does not deserve my apologies!"

Charlotte rubbed my back, "shhh! Just calm down, it can't hurt you anymore."

I exhaled with anger a few more times, before becoming calm and smiled.

"I'm okay."

Charlotte nodded before pulling me out of the room and heading downstairs.

We saw Henry and Jasper and gave them a thumbs up as the cops were investigating them.

"Woah, woah woah, who are they?" The male cop asked and we froze.

"Those are my friends, Charlotte and Bella," Henry told him and it pained me to hear him call me a friend.

"Yeah, hi!" We greeted as we approached the front door, "gotta go!"

"Not so fast, Carla and Stella!" The male cop stopped us and we froze as he approached us with a drawing in his hands, "if those are your real names?"

"They're not."

"Nope."

He put the drawing up to both us and glanced at  our faces, before pulling it away.

"They're good!"

"Thank you," I sighed. "I just got real nervous for no reason!"

Charlotte pulled me out of the house and we made our way to the Man Cave.

——

We got to the Man Cave and Schwoz was now cloning Otto with the feather we brought him.

Charlotte's phone rang and she answered it, putting it on speaker phone so I can hear it.

"Hey, Henry, what's up?" She greeted and I shifted awkwardly.

The fact that he didn't call me first hurts a lot and I'm deeply offended. He always calls me first.

"Hey, did Schwoz clone a new Otto yet?"

"Hang on," Charlotte said and looked at Schwoz. "Are we close?"

"I think so," Schwoz said.

"Schwoz said we're close," Charlotte told Henry.

"Well, tell Schwoz to hurry up, because there's a bird sniffing snake on its way and they're gonna find Otto in my closet and everyone's gonna hear-" Henry paused for a moment, before we heard. "The moon landing was fake!- Hey, Otto stopped saying that- Henry is Kid Danger!- Dang it!"

"Why can't you sneak Otto out of the house before the bird sniffing snake gets there?" Charlotte asked him and I sat down next to Mary on the couch.

"Hi, babes," she greeted and brushed my hair behind my shoulder.

"Because my house is surrounded by people holding up pics of candles on their phones and donating to Piper's Go-Fund Yourself account!" Henry explained and I shrugged when Mary looked at me, "I need that new bird!"

Henry hung up and Charlotte sighed as my dad, Mary, and I got up.

"Henry says you gotta hurry up and clone a new Otto!" Charlotte told Schwoz.

Schwoz chuckled as we approached himand he smiled, "okay, anytime you say 'hurry up and clone' that's when the mistakes happen."

"But it's safe, right?" Mary asked, "like, you've cloned things before?"

"Yeah, I've cloned myself-" Schwoz paused and we all gave him a confused expression, "I mean, I myself, have cloned many things that are not me."

"Schwoz, did you clone yourself?" My dad asked him.

"No...."

"Yeah, the way you're saying 'mmm, nooo,' makes me think you have cloned yourself," I protested.

"Me too."

"Yeah, same."

"Yeah, that's what I'm thinking," my dad agreed.

"The long 'noooo' makes it sound like he's lying, right?" Mary questioned.

"Oh, totally! The short 'no' is always true. The long 'nooo' that means he's lying," my dad explained and I nodded right as the Clone-O-Lator beeped.

"Oh, good! The clone is done!" Schwoz said, "everyone can move on!"

Schwoz opened the machine and Schwoz took out a bird that looked exactly like Otto.

"Oh!" Mary and I smiled.

"He looks exactly like Otto!" My dad chuckled.

"Yeah, that's the point, sweetheart," Schwoz sassily replied.

"It's exactly the same in every way?" I asked him.

"Pretty much, he just hasn't learned to say 'Henry is Kid Danger.'"

Henry is Kid Danger! Henry is Kid Danger!

"Nice going, Sweetheart!" My dad bitterly said and handed the bird to Mary.

——

Schwoz was cloning another bird and Henry called us again. Of course, he called Charlotte and not me.

"Hey, what's the hold up, the bird sniffing snake is here!"

"Yeah, we had a little problem with the first clone," Charlotte began and then the the machine beeped, meaning the clone was finished. "But the new-new clone is done and we're leaving right now."

"Wait, what was the problem with the first clone?" Henry asked her.

"Schwoz said 'Henry is Kid Danger' in front of it-"

Henry is Kid Danger! Henry is Kid Danger! Henry is Kid Danger! Henry is Kid Danger!

Charlotte!" I scolded as we all looked at her with irritation.

"We'll call ya back," Charlotte sighed before hanging up.

"Maybe you shouldn't talk in front of the bird," Mary suggested a smile.

——

We cloned a third bird, didn't work, a fourth bird didn't work, and then a fifth bird, still didn't work. Now, we are waiting for the sixth bird to be done, so we can get out of here and take care of this bird situation.

As the machine beeped, we all motioned each other to be quiet so the bird doesn't copy anything we say. Schwoz opened the machine and pulled out the new bird, and we were desperately hoping that any of the other birds wouldn't say anything and ruin it.

Schwoz carefully handed my dad the bird and it was nerve wracking because the other birds kept squawking. My dad shushed us and we tiped-toed toward the elevator, until we heard a bird.

Henry is Kid Danger!

We froze with fear and faced the others birds before we rushed over to the elevator and pressed the button.

Henry is Kid Danger!

We all groaned and yelled when the new Otto said that and we got more irritated when the other birds joined. It was all just one big mess at this point.

——

Now, we were waiting for the seventh bird to be done and Henry was getting impatient at this point.

"Hurry up, Schwoz! Henry's freaking out!" I exclaimed to Schwoz.

"I told you! When you hurry the cloning process, that's when you get a lot of problems!" Schwoz protested and I sighed.

"Well, we are out of time! Just give me something! Something that looks like a bird!" My dad snapped.

"Anything!" Mary exclaimed.

"Yeah, give him a bird, Schwoz!" Charlotte snapped.

"Fine!" Schwoz sighed and stopped the cloning, "he's not ready yet! But here's your bird!"

Schwoz opened the machine and we gasped in horror at the sight.

"Oh my," Mary said with shock.

"Eh, I can sell him," my dad shrugged, before going over to the disturbing clone.

——

My dad, who is now dressed as Captain Man, Charlotte, and I went back to Henry's house to give Piper her bird back. When she see's this bird she's gonna know something's wrong, because it looks like Otto got partly shaved and then thrown into a microwave for like ten hours.

We eventually got to the house and we see the bird sniffing snake guy doing a conga line with everyone and Piper was freaking out about it.

"Alright, people! Hero coming through! Make a hole, make it wide!" My dad announces to everyone.

"Look, it's Captain Man!" Henry pointed.

"And he's got the real Otto!" Jasper added and Charlotte and I ran in.

"Did you find Otto?" Piper asked him.

"Sure, did, little girl," my dad smiled. "Here ya go!"

He ripped off the cover to reveal the disturbing clone with Otto inside.

"Yay-ohh!?"

Everyone was disturbed by the Otto clone and Piper was horrified.

"What happened to him?" Piper asked my dad, "looks like he's been microwaved or something."

"That's what I said," I grinned.

"Oh, well, ya know, the sickos that bird-napped him did not treat him very well," my dad sadly told her.

Everyone aww'ed and looked at Piper with sorrow.

"But, when I found those people, I beat them up!" My dad added and everyone cheered, "I really did a number on them! Otto's back people!"

They cheered louder and I cheered smiling with joy, before Piper started to chant Otto's name and we joined in.

Suddenly, my dad began to chant his name awkwardly and we all slowly changed to his name, but I just shook my head at him.

"Told ya I could sell it," my dad muttered to me.

"Yep," I nodded and looked over at Henry, who gave me a smile and I smiled back at him.

——

Eventually, everyone left, Piper went inside with her horrifying bird, Jasper and my dad went home, and Charlotte just left the porch. Henry and I were the only ones left and it was awkward, because we barely talk and I don't know how to start this conversation between us. Communication was our worst trait in our relationship.

Henry and I shared a glance and I rubbed my arm.

"Henry/Bella!"

We both paused before chuckling and I motioned him to start.

"You first."

Henry gave me a small smile, before he sat down on the bench and I joined him.

"I'm sorry," he began. "I hated the way things ended between us. I guess I was just really emotional about it and didn't realize how much it hurt you."

"I do too," I agreed with him and he grinned. "But, I don't think you were wrong though. I just think I have a problem with not telling people my issues and don't realize how much it affects those around me. I just feel like..." I paused for a moment and cleared my throat, "I just feel like with everything going on with our lives, my problems don't matter and aren't as important. I feel like a burden whenever I talk about my own personal problems."

"But you're not a burden," Henry remarked touching my leg and I looked down at his hand. "You're just as important as the rest of us and need to know we all love you. We all are willing to drop everything and help you out with whatever is you need. I'd do anything to make sure you're alright."

I gave him a smile and sighed, "thank you."

He nodded, sliding his hand off my leg and twiddled his thumbs, "and hopefully, in the near future, we can be together again."

"Yeah, I would love that," I agreed with a hopeful smile and he returned it. We caught each others eyes for a second and I saw him lean in, but I looked away and shifted my body to the side.

"Um," I said awkwardly and he chuckled

"Sorry, force of habit," Henry apologized and I glanced at him to see him rubbing his neck with red cheeks.

"It's okay," I say before looking around and stood up. "I should, um, get home, Mary has a surprise she's gonna tell my dad, so."

"What is it?" He asked me standing up as well.

"That she's pregnant," I smile and Henry beamed at me.

"Seriously?" He gasped and I nodded happily, "that's amazing!"

"I know!" I chuckle, "I'm gonna be a big sister!"

"I'm so happy for you," Henry laughed, before hugging me and I stood there in his arms. I smiled softly at his touch and hugged him back, leaning my head on his chest.

We stayed in this position for a moment, until we both pulled away and gave each other an awkward chuckle.

"I should go," I say as my arms leave his body and his do too.

"Okay, um, see ya tomorrow," he told me before I wave at him and walk off his porch.

I sighed to myself and held my hands to my chest.

I love you, Henry.

Henry's POV

I love you, Arabella

Mary's POV

I sat in Ray's bedroom anxiously waiting for his arrival to see the surprise I have waiting for him. A couple weeks back I found out I was pregnant and I ended up telling Bella because it just felt right and now I'm here a few weeks later telling Ray. I don't know how far long I am, but I'm to the point where I throw up and have mood swings along with nausea. I found out when I didn't have my period and it freaked me out at first, then I took a pregnancy test. I haven't made an appointment yet, because I want to wait for Ray. I've been pregnant before so I know what to expect and it's not fun, but it's worth the pain and misery to create a beautiful child in the end.

I didn't make it a huge thing or anything, I just put the test in a box and a pair of baby sneakers with it. I have no idea how Ray will react, because this is the first time he's going through this. He adopted Bella, so this is a new experience for him and he could react in anyway.

I heard Ray's footsteps outside his room and I tended up for a moment. I was so nervous, yet excited. Ray loves me and I love him, so hopefully he'll be happy.

The door opened and he froze at the sight of me.

"Hey, sweetie," he greeted with confusion. "Not complaining, but why are you here? I thought you went home."

"I did, but I came back because I have something to show you," I told him and showed him the box. "Here."

"Is this what Bella's been telling me about?" He asked sitting next to me and I nodded with a shaky smile.

"Yes," I say and he takes the gift from me. "And I hope you like it. Bella loves it."

He gave me a confused look, before untying the bow and opening the box. He saw the baby sneakers and was confused at sight for a moment.

"What the?" He asked and I smiled nervously as he saw the test and his eyes grew, "oh my god..."

I waited for him to process what was happening and he picked up test in absolutely shock, but had a smile on his face.

"You're pregnant?" He asked me and I nodded with nervous look.

"I am," I told him and before I knew it I was tackled onto the bed with him laughing out of happiness. I squealed as I landed on the bed and Ray covered my face with happy kisses making me giggle. "Ray!"

He pulled away and stared down at me with a large smile, "you're pregnant!"

I chuckled with pure joy and tears of happiness formed, "yeah, I am!"

"I'm gonna get another child!" Ray beamed sitting up straight and I sat up, "I can't believe it. How far along?"

"Maybe ten weeks, I'm unsure," I told him. "I was waiting to make an appointment till after I told you."

"Then let's schedule an appointment right now," he exclaimed and grabbed his phone. "Gotta figure out when my baby is born."

I smiled with happiness at his reaction and chuckled.

"Ray," I said and he looked at me, "thank you. Thank you for accepting this and I can't wait to have this baby with you."

Ray took my hand and kissed my forehead, "I can't wait to share this experience with you. Wouldn't want to share it with anyone else."

"Even me!?"

We turned to see Bella standing there with a large smile and she jumped into Ray's lap.

"I'm gonna get a baby brother or sister!" She smiled brightly and the two of us chuckled, "yay!"

"Baby number three, here we come," I smile.

"How's Eden gonna react?" Bella asked and I shrugged.

"She'll be excited," I tell her. "She's always wanted a baby sister, and now she's either gonna get another sister or a brother."

"I vote for a girl!" Bella beamed.

"I vote for a boy!" Ray chirped.

"Whatever the gender is, I'll love him or her just as much as I love you two and Eden," I told them and Ray wraps his arm around me, pulling me closer and kisses my cheek.

——
Arabella's POV

The following day, we were in the Man Cave watching Cooking with Accents, but it was very difficult to hear the judges because all the birds that were in here kept repeating the same phrase over and over again. It was giving us all headaches that was pisses us off and Mary was trying her best to not lash out, I can see it in her eyes.

It took everything out of me not to laser those birds to death, and I couldn't because Henry took it away from me. I still have my power I could use though.

"The birds are too loud, I can't hear the judges," Henry told us.

"Or their funny accents," Schwoz added and I tried to tune up the volume, but it was maxed out.

"The volume is at max, I cant turn it up anymore," I told them and threw the remote down in irritation.

"I got an idea," my dad said and got out his zapper. "Let's turn the volume down on the birds! Permanently!"

"No!" Mary and Charlotte gasped and grabbed his wrist, which made him miss and zap Jasper instead. I gasped with worry when it hit Jasper's face.

"Jasper!" I said, "oh my gosh!

"Are you okay?" Henry asked him.

"Mary and Charlotte's fault!" My dad accused.

"His fault!" The girls exclaimed.

"You shot off my mustache!" Jasper gasped as he stood up.

"What?!" I yelled in agony.

"Noooo!" Henry cried.

"It was an accident! The girls hit my zapper!" My dad objected.

"What were you thinking?!" I asked them.

"I wasn't thinking!" Mary exclaimed.

"At least the birds shut up!" Charlotte reasoned.

At least the birds shut up!

I covered my face in frustration and Henry pulled my head over so it rested on his shoulder. I heard my dad begin to zap the birds as they repeated the phrase over and over again, while Mary and Charlotte yelled and tried to make him stop zapping them.

"Come on," Henry whispered to me before he gently pushed me out of the couch. Him, Schwoz, and I just walked away from Mary, Charlotte, and my dad, who were arguing over the zapper.

Then there was Jasper, who was touching his lip where his mustache used to be. What a tragedy, it was a beautiful lip sweater.

R.I.P Jasper's Mustache.

Also, Mary is pregnant! It's gonna be a huge thing for when the baby is born and I want you all to guess the gender, along with picking a baby name (both girl and boy names plz!) So pick a gender and two names and I'll see what I like best for the names!☺️☺️☺️

I'll write down all the names and tally up the votes of the gender. There is no set chapter where the baby will be born, but it will be around the early or mid-twenties probably🙃💕
