TWICE // D.S.

THIRTY-SIX

"you came! you came! you came!" anna cheered and did a short jog to pull aubrielle away from daniel to give her a big hug.

"if i recall correctly, i didn't have a choice," aubrielle said, a smile on her face, "but i would've came nevertheless" she added. once the pair pulled away from the hug, anna quickly moved to daniel to take james away from him. aubrielle unconsciously put her hands on her stomach to gently rest them on her bump.

she looked around the house she had walked into a few minutes ago. christian and tyler were standing around a grill. there were a few other beautiful ladies, anna's friends that stood around the pool. corbyn and jonah were at the kitchen counter talking. before aubrielle could look around more, daniel appeared in front of her. he gently rested his hands on hers which brought her eyes down to them. a small smile rested on her lips before she looked up.

"you might recognize a few people which i convinced anna to invite. also, are you sure you just want me to drop you home later? you don't want to come back to mine?" daniel asked, for the third time. daniel was going to go back to his house after the friendsgiving with his family to celebrate thanksgiving with his parents as a family. aubrielle insisted on not going because she didn't want to intrude on their family dinner, especially because it was a holiday.

"im sure, also do you feel the five months or is it just me?" aubrielle asked, looking back to her hands.

"i definitely feel five months," daniel said, pulling his hands away from hers, "just not the way you're thinking of," he admitted before gently pulling the girl in a hug. his arms easily wrapped around her neck and he rested his chin on her head. after a second, aubrielle removed her hands from her bump to wrap around daniel's torso.

"good morning elle!" corbyn shouted, a few heads turned for a second before turning back to whatever they were doing. he made his way over with jonah followed behind him. aubrielle and daniel pulled away from their hug and corbyn pulled aubrielle into one, "i need to show you something," he whispered. low enough for only the two of them to hear.

"by the way it's afternoon," aubrielle corrected. after her hug with corbyn she moved to jonah who seemed to know what corbyn's 'showing' was because when pulling away from the hug, he gently guided her to stand next to corbyn.

"do you know if it's just steak?" jonah asked, turning his body to daniel. clearly it was a question anyone can answer because of the fact that it only take a few seconds to look over at the grill and see what's cooking.

before daniel began to answer jonah's question. corbyn swiftly pulled aubrielle away and were now walking towards the sliding glass door. "we're going to go in the studio," corbyn said, opening the door and waving a hand for the girl to go out of and then himself. "im pretty sure you remember but daniel was purposely busying himself so he wouldn't have to face his problems," he spoke with a light chuckle at the end. the situation wasn't funny, it was more out of disbelief that daniel would do such thing.

"yeah, i cert-" aubrielle didn't get to finish agreeing because christian had shouted for her to come over, "i hope this isn't supposed to be a timed thing," she quietly mumbled and made her way over with her big and genuine smile on her lips, "hi christian, hi tyler," she greeted

"you were just going to sneak off, huh," christian teased, "it's friendsgiving, not 'oh I'll follow corbyn around because he's nice'" he spoke in a goofy voice, waving his hands around almost like an idiot.
