Chapter 8 - Close Proximity |Part One|
"Melissa? Do you have any names?" Aphmau asks.
She is sitting at a chair with her arms resting on the counter as a plate of food—that consists of a cheeseburger, fries, and a Poopsi. She takes a sip of the Poopsi before setting it back down on the marble countertops.
Melissa sits beside her, staring at her own plate of food. "No, I haven't thought of any." she mumbles.
"I've got some advice for you, you'll know the perfect name when your heart says it's perfect." Aph says.
She starts eating her cheeseburger, munching on the fries in between bites. When she notices Melissa eying her French fries, Aphmau makes a bold move. She slaps them onto her burger and grins cheekily.
"Ew." Melissa complains. "That's gross." she says.
"It's not gross! It's quite good actually! You should try it sometime." Aphmau tells her.
"No thank you, I'm good." Melissa quickly says.
Aphmau shrugs. "Suit yourself." she replies and takes yet another bite of her burger.
When she's all done with her food, she stands up, pushes the chair in, and sets her dishes in the stainless steel sink. From there, she smirks at Melissa.
"What?" Melissa looks up. "Oh, hush. I still don't have any names for him. Besides, yours is due sooner than mine." it's Melissa turn to smirk now.
Aphmau drops her smirk. "You got me there." she mutters.
"Kawaii~Chan has an idea!" KC shouts, as she walks into the kitchen.
She holds up a flyer. "Kawaii~Chan thought Aphmau~Senpai and Melissa~Chan would want to go to a grand opening at a casino because Kawaii~Chan really wants to go but Zane~Kun said no." KC says.
"Kawaii~Chan, Aphmau and I are not in the current state to even go. Sorry." Melissa states.
KC starts to whine. "Alright! Alright! Fine, we'll go if it stops your whining!" Aphmau shouts.
The meif'wa stops whining and bounces giddily. "Kawaii~Chan is so excited!" KC yells as she's bouncing.

So, here they are, standing in a vertical line outside the casino. Thousands of people walk on the red carpet that leads inside but Kawaii~Chan drags Zane by his hand and races in. Melissa and Lucinda facepalm before walking in together. Garroth follows behind as Aphmau takes a step forward, holding her hand out to Aaron. To the untrained eye, you couldn't tell she and Melissa were with child because Lucinda and Kim managed to cast a spell to temporarily hide their pregnancies.
The music is a soft melody that echoes gracefully as every couple is dancing their own creative way to the music. Garroth is creating his own uniquely of dancing and catches the eyes of many single women. Again, Melissa and Lucinda facepalm and just stay in each other's embrace, dancing together.
Melissa looks around and sees Aph and Aaron dancing together when Kawaii~Chan races in between them with Zane holding her hand.
The four laugh and continue dancing. "I wish this could never end. It's so peaceful." Melissa comments.
Lucinda nods. "I know right. So peaceful indeed." she says.

Two hours later.
Kawaii~Chan leans her head on Zane's shoulder as the two walk behind Garroth and Kim, who walk beside Lucinda while Melissa walks with Aphmau and Aaron.
"Hey, Aphmau?" Melissa asks.
Aphmau looks at her. "Yeah?" she asks, aloud.
"I have a name. It came to me while we were dancing." Melissa says.
"Oh~" Aphmau singsongs. "Like what?" she questions.
Melissa smiles and whispers the name into Aphmau's ear.
"I like it!" Aphmau smiles.
"Thank you." Melissa responds.
Lucinda opens the door and waits until everyone is in before she closes it shut, hearing the satisfying click.
"As much fun as that was, I'm beat!" Aphmau complains.
"I know the feeling, Sis." Melissa mumbles.
Even if her brother and his fiancée aren't married just yet, she felt comfortable with calling Aphmau "sis" as that is what she's going to be after their wedding, in summer of next year.
"You know, I just realized something. Your son will be able to be apart of your wedding!" Melissa realizes.
"Yeah but he'll be far too young to psychically be apart of the event so, Aaron and I will need to find someone to hold him during our wedding." Aphmau says.
She makes her way to the couch and leans back against the cushions in comfort. Aaron sits on one side of her, while Melissa took the other seat beside her.
"Do you guys have anyone in mind?" Kim asks.
"Not at the moment but we were thinking either one of you guys or even Sylvanna." Aaron comments.
"Sylvanna would love that. We all know how she gets around babies, it's no secret how you're related to her, Aph." Garroth says.
"Hey!" Aphmau laughs.

Later at night.
Aphmau lays on her and Aaron's bed, wide awake. She can't sleep because she's got too much on her mind lately. She looks over to her left to see Aaron fast asleep. 'How he can go to sleep with everything that's going on, amazes me.'she thinks.
She tries to close her eyes, if to get any sleep but the sudden pitter patter of footsteps keep her awake.
"Oh come on! I'd like to get sleep!" she whisper-yells.
A hooded figure walks into the room, completely ignoring the fact Aphmau's wide awake. The person sneaks around the bed and pulls out the purple blade dagger and stabs Aphmau in her abdomen.
She gasps as her hands fly to her new wound. The person catches her gasp and makes a run for it when he hears a groan.
Aaron wakes up only to see Aphmau stabbed.
"A...Aaron?" she whispers.
"I'm here, Aph. I'm not leaving you." he replies.
"G..Good. I.." she says as the darkness fills her vision nonstop and she collapses into Aaron's arms.
"Whoever did this, will pay." Aaron growls.

"It's done." a mysterious voice says.
"What is?" a voice asks.
"You wanted me to stab my daughter-in-law, so I did. I hope your happy, Victoria." the first voice replies.
"Very, well. Derek." Victoria smirks.
A/N - ((For starters; Victoria is Valise and Vlicyn's mother and an antagonist. Second; I actually need help coming up with a name for Melissa's son! If you have any ideas, feel free to comment them!))
