Chapter 2: Celestia's Suprise

After a long day, Aaron slept peacefully in his bed. At about twelve in the morning, he heard scratching at his door. "Huh?" He got up quickly and opened his front door to see Celestia sitting at his porch step. "What are you doing out here?" Aaron said while picking up Celestia. He set her down on his bed and they slept for the rest of the night. In the morning, Aaron woke up to a Celestia butt on his face. "Celestia," he laughed, "you're so silly." And as Aaron picked up Celestia, he found drool all over his shoulder. He held Celestia to his face. "Aphmau is teaching you bad habits."

Aaron and Celestia walked down the stairs to get breakfast. He had a bag of dog food in a cabinet because of all of Celestia's visits. "Here you go." he said. Aaron sat on the couch and watched T.V. While he was watching, Celestia scooted her bowl of dog food to Aaron's feet and sat. looking up at him. Aaron looked down at the dog and smiled. "I'm good." Aaron said. He picked up Celestia and she curled up in his lap. Then she started whining. "Aw, what's wrong?" He said as he stroked Celestia's back. Celestia jumped off of his lap and ran to the door. "You want to leave?" Aaron asked. Celestia scratched the door and fell to her stomach. 

Aaron carried the little dog out of his house to Aphmau's house. He gave a little knock and Aphmau opened it immediately. She was crying. "Aaron! C-Celestia went missing! I-I-I don't know where she went, or how she left, or-" Aphmau looked at Aaron holding Celestia up to his chest. She started to smile. "AARON! YOU ARE THE BEST!" she yelled and swung her arms around him and kissed him. Aaron was shocked and dropped Celestia, but caught her with his foot. Aaron saw Celestia lie down in her dog bed as he was occupied with Aphmau still kissing him. With a muffled voice, Aaron tried to speak. "Aphmau-There's something wrong-with Celestia-." Aphmau stopped and turned to look at Celestia in her house. There her dog lied whimpering and on her side.

Aphmau ran to Celestia and examined her. Then she got cheery. "Oh my gosh, Aaron. She's having puppies!" Aaron walked over to Aphmau and smiled. "Great...what do we do?" Aphmau's cheer suddenly turned to panic. "OH MY GOSH! WE NEED WATER AND BLANKETS!" Aaron calmly walked to the closet and grabbed a few blankets then went to the kitchen to fill up a tub of water. After about 10 minutes, he came back to a Celestia halfway through birth. He fainted, dropping everything he was holding. "AARON!" Aphmau yelled. She turned to see Aaron passed out. "Talk about being a man!" Aphmau continued he delivery of puppies by herself until Katelyn came downstairs.

"Aphmau, what is going on?" Katelyn asked. She saw Aphmau sitting at the dog bed with blood everywhere, and a knocked out Aaron. All of the blood on the dog bed and Aphmau made Katelyn faint on the stairs. "OH MY GOSH!" Aphmau shouted. After 4 hours of delivery,  Katelyn and Aaron woke up to see a clean dog bed, no Celestia, and no Aphmau. "Where is she?" Katelyn asked. They both got up and walked to Aphmau's bedroom. She was cuddling Celestia, and a basket was covered with a blanket. "What happened?" Aaron asked. Aphmau beckoned Katelyn and Aaron to come over to the basket. She removed the blanket and 7 puppies were sleeping together. Aphmau looked at Katelyn and stared at her.

"Katelyn, are you crying?" Aphmau asked. Katelyn wiped her eyes and got defensive. "N-N-NO! I'm just...sweating through my eyes..." Aphmau set Celestia down with her pups and watched them cuddle together. She extended her arms to Katelyn and they hugged. Aaron stood at the edge of Aphmau's bed, staring back at Celestia and her pups. He looked depressed, but he was really happy with new puppies. Aphmau looked up at Aaron. "Aw, does someone want to be included in the hug?" Aaron shook his head, and Katelyn pulled his hand, making him fall on Aphmau and her's laps. They laughed together until the sun started to set.

2 hours later, Aphmau was still talking about names for the pups. "Oh, or maybe Fluffy or Puffball or Stubby or Darling or-" She was interrupted by her door opening. Katelyn seemed furious. "APHMAU SHUT UP! Who are you even talking to?" Aphmau folded her arms and said, "Aaron is still listening like a good boyfriend." Katelyn was boiling. "WHEN WAS THE LAST TIME YOU'VE SEEN HIM AWAKE?" Aphmau lifted his mask lightly to see him sleeping. "Oh," Aphmau whispered. Katelyn stormed off to her bedroom. Aphmau looked down at Aaron and shook him. "Aaron, wake up..." Aaron jerked up and started panting. "Aaron! What's wrong with you?" Aaron frantically looked around and calmed down. He looked at Aphmau.

"Aphmau! Your hands are like ice!" Aaron complained. Aphmau gawked at Aaron. "Well that's what you signed up for!" She tickled him. Aaron picked her up and twirled her again and kissed her. "This is what I signed up for." They twirled around and around until Aphmau got dizzy. "I think I'm gonna *burp* puke..." Aaron immediately dropped her. After settling down, they gazed at the puppies together. Aphmau hugged Aaron then punched him. "Thanks for nothing." Aaron smiled and scratched the back of his head. "Sorry, it was the first dog birth I've ever seen." Aphmau picked up one of the puppies and the puppy opened its eyes. The puppy had one green eye and one blue eye. Aaron looked at the puppy and looked away, trying not to stare.

Aphmau's voice became squeaky and excited. "Aw! Look at her eyes!" The puppy wiggled around and dropped out of Aphmau's hands. It ran around the room. While this happened, Aaron zoned out. Aphmau gazed at the little puppy. "AARON! LOOK AT HER!" Aphmau saw that Aaron was still facing the wall and looking up. She waved her hand in front of his face. "Aaron? Aaron!" She kissed him. Aaron's eyes widened and he faced Aphmau. Just seconds later, the puppy ran into Aaron and fell. Aaron turned around and picked up the puppy. "Maybe we should name it Elf." Aphmau hugged Aaron and kissed his cheek. "It's perfect!" she yelled. Aaron looked out the window of her bedroom an saw that it was night time. He got up and started for the bedroom door.

Aphmau grabbed his hood, pulling it off. "No no, I will return you the favor." She held his hand and walked downstairs. She set him on the couch and brought him a bowl of popcorn. "I'm not hungry." Aaron said. Aphmau folded her arms. "Aaron, you haven't eaten all day and I can tell because Celestia looks hungry." Aaron shrugged. "Ho do you know?" Aphmau stuffed popcorn in his mouth. "Because when Celestia is hungry, she thinks about you if she sees you not eating. She tries to give you her food." Aaron struggled to speak and spit out the popcorn. "I originally don't eat as much." Aphmau sat next to Aaron. "Well you're going to have to eat." She ate some popcorn. They watched movies until they both fell asleep.

The next morning, Aaron woke up to a drooling Aphmau. He picked her head up and kissed her. Katelyn walked down the stairs and saw Aaron kissing Aphmau. "You know what Aaron? I thought I could make it to breakfast without throwing up today, but you practically ruined it." Aphmau woke up and looked at Katelyn hazily. "You're just mad that *yawn* you don't have Travis to kiss you in the morning." Aaron snickered and looked away. Katelyn stared at Aaron intensely.  His eyes drifted away to the T.V. Aphmau turned to Katelyn. "Shouldn't you be staring at Travis?" Aaron smiled. Katelyn ran towards Aaron and he darted out the front door. "Cuddle session OVER." Katelyn yelled. Aphmau looked at Katelyn gloomy. "Well I'll see him tomorrow."
