Best Friends with Benefits

chapter 18: Six Months Later

Six months had past since the triple wedding ceremony. LP to David Jenesis, Miracle to Cosmo McKinley and Frank to Nation McKinley. They were all proud to be in their little families and now in the lawfully wedded life. Frank was nerve-wreckingly nervous to let LP walk down the aisle to marry David, but he shortly grew happy.

Riff Raff and Magenta were of course happy because they were together like they were destined and they found their long-lost daughter. Peace was restored to the Vitus clan. LP was washing dishes in the kitchen and she wondered what to do for the day while David was out in town getting some groceries, until there was a knock at the door. The puzzled princess walked forth and opened it to see her surprise guest(s) for the day.

A shorter, blonde-haired Miracle was at the door with Cosmo by her side. "LP!" Miracle smiled widely, opening her arms for a hug. She was wearing her coat her father had given her. She also seemed to have a glow about her.

David, who had a bag of shopping in his arms, smiled at his wife. "I picked these up, I hope you don't mind." he said, jokingly, calling Miracle and Cosmo 'these'.

"I'll put these away." LP smiled, taking the bags and kissing David on the cheek. She then led everyone to the kitchen. "Welcome to our little home!" she sounded a lot more confident and vocal than the times before.

David put the keys on a hook near the coats. He then took Miracle's and Cosmo's coats and hung them up.

Miracle looked around and smiled hugging her friend. "I love your house, my dearest friend. she said, then let her go, and seemingly absently placed her hand on her own stomach.

LP giggled and put the groceries away. "Thanks Miracle. how you and Cosmo doing?" she smiled at her friend as the boys were getting specially acquainted. LP then noticed Miracle put her hand on her own stomach. "Miracle, is something wrong?" she sounded worried.

Miracle gave a secretive smile and shook her head. "Nothing...wrong..." her eyes sparkling as she said. Her stomach, if looked closer, was slightly rounded.

David came in and looked, then grinned at Cosmo. "Want a drink?" he asked, wanting to give the girls some time to talk.

"Whatcha got?" Cosmo asked with an agreeing smile.

David took him into the place where his mini bar was. "Um, I have beer, some wine, and some lager."

"Half a glass of wine, please." Cosmo gently requested.

David poured him a half glass like he wanted. "Here you go, how's married life treating you?"

"Very well, thank you," Cosmo took a sip. "We both take turns on meals though, I often cook meals, she's been feeling a little woozy lately though. She's been throwing up in the morning at times, I feel I should take her to a doctor but she's been fine lately." Cosmo shrugged. "We'll see again soon. We also take nice walks after dinner time."

David blinked once and looked at Cosmo. Surely a doctor like him would already know what's wrong before going to a real medical doctor. "Uhh... You don't know what's wrong with her?" he asked, slowly.

"Maybe she's homesick or something." Cosmo shrugged. "I think she's going through a woman thing but I don't want to offend her with my insastionable curiosity..."

David couldn't help but smile. "I think you should ask her." He wouldn't tell him unless he had to.

"I'll have to be careful," Cosmo blushed as he thought of an experience. "I remembered when Nation was grumpy when she was in 3rd grade so i decided to stop by her class and give her a pack of maxi pads... turns out she was just grumpy because she wasn't invited to a party in her class and i just made it worse."
