You're Fundamental/D.Luh

Ashs & Andrea's

Ash p.o.v.

"Are you excited?" Astrid asks as we're seated waiting for our name to be called. I nod my head, "I'm also scared as hell of the real world." I say. "Me too." She says giving me a smile. I hug her. "You have me." I say. "And you have me." She says and we smile. We hear Nixon's name being called to walk stage and we scream for him. That's our baby. We make our way up to be called up. They say my name first, I hear people screaming for me as I walk stage, I take a picture with the principal and walk off. They call Astrid and I scream loud, "that's my twin." The Jacks walk the stage making us laugh, they did the switching joke again. It never fails to make us smile.

"I'm so proud of you guys, you guys graduated in white gowns." Mom says. "Thank you Mom." Ash and I say. "We got flowers for you girls, we're proud of you two girls." Nicolas says.

"Thank you Nicolas." We says laughing, I guess we really are twins. "Congrats baby's." Nessa hugs us. "Thank you." I say. "Thanks." Ash says.

"I'm so proud of you two twins." Andres hugs Ash and I. "Thank you Andres." I say. "Thanks
Andresito."  Ash says. Lacey congratulates us and so does Andrea.

"I'm proud of you baby Ash." Nixon says. "I'm proud of you too." I say hugging him.

"I'm so proud of you Ashton." I hear Derek say as I pull away from Nixon's hug. I turn around. "You came?" I ask. He nods his head. "Of course I told you I would." He says. He hands me flowers and he has a candy necklace and places it on me. "I got your favorite." He says getting skittles and mr.goodbar. "I love you." I peck his lips.  I notice Will came he congratulated Astrid. "Congratulations Ashton." He gives me a smile.

"Thank you." I smile.

"My twins graduated." I hear Mama Litezia say. I nod my head. She gives Ash and I hugs. "You're papa has something for you." She says. "I'm proud of you Ashton." Papa says hugging me. "Thank you Papa." I say. We pull away and hands me an envelope secretly. "Thank you." I kiss his check. I assume it's money, they usually gift money.

"So we're having a dinner at our house." Mama says after we take pictures.  "Mom do you mind me riding with Derek?" I ask her.

"Go for it, be safe and have fun." She says. I nod my head and say "thank you." Derek and I walk to his car. "Congratulations Ashton." I turn to see my Fernando. I don't want to fight so I give him a smile. "Thank you." I say. I keep walking with Derek and he drives us my house.

"I'm done hating him." I announce. "I'm be happy with me, and everyone I love." I say making him smile. "I'm glad." He says. We get out of his car and we make our way inside, the foods ready. Sebs was over, he pulled me into a hug and gave me a little present. "Thank you even though it isn't necessary." I say. "I want to." He says. "Plus I don't do take backs." He says. I hug him, "thank you again." I say. He nods his head. "Open it." He says. I open it and it's a rose gold pendant of a softball, with my last name and my jersey number.

"Thank you so much." I hug him again. "I remember you telling me it would be cool to have one." He says. "You remember?" I ask him. He nods his head. "You're so thoughtful Sebs." I say. We talk for a few and then Ash joins us he got us matching pendants which is so cute, hers is in gold though. We have dinner and we talk and laugh. We end up playing cards against humanity.

Andrea's birthday party

"You look so cute princess." I tell Andrea. "Thank you Auntie Ash." She says smiling. She's so adorable , I love her to bits. "Is Derek coming?" She asks. "He is." I say, "Yaye." she smiles. "Mommy let me picked out my outfit today." She says showing me off her dress, it's a flower print dress. "No wonder you look so beautiful." I say. "Mommy says once the guest come she will change me into my swimsuit." She says. I look at her with adoration.

"Happy birthday princess Andrea." I hear Derek say. "Derek." she squeals,  she runs to him and he picks her up and she wraps her tiny arms around him. They talk and he makes her laugh, he gives her her gift and places her down to go look for her mother so she can take care of the gift. He makes his way toward me and pulls me into a kiss, "I like that greeting." I say making him smile. "Me too." he says smiling. "I'v already greeteed you're parents and grandparents." He says, "Thank you for having manners, they love you for that Mr.Luh." I say and peck his lips. We sit with Nessa, Damien and Sebs, awkward. We meet Damien, Nessa's new boo a couple nights after graduation. They began to see each other but claim to just be friends in front of family members.

"Sebs, What's your opinion on Stanford?" I ask him.

"Well I love it, Stanford was great and as your sister has said one of the best schools." He says.

"She's told me stories." I say making him smile, Nessa's eyes widen. "Are we talking about college?" Nino asks. "Yes." I say.

"Are we going to Stanford?" He asks.

"I'm not sure, I'm asking about people's experiences, how was yours nino?" I ask.

"It was amazing, I met Sofia there." He says smiling. Sebs looks a bit uncomfortable. He doesn't really speak about his mother, it's a touchy subject. "You'll meet great people and you're mother went there." He adds.

"Guys you can join Andrea and Andres in the pool." Astrid says. Derek and I get up and make our way to the pool, I slide off my dress and have my binki under. Some of my mothers cousins and Nicolas cousins kids joined us, and we played in the pool. It was good since they were Andrea's age and played with her.

"Andrea are you ready?" Lacey asks her. "For the cake?" Andrea asks. She nods her head. Lacey has changed Andrea back into her dress, it had gotten a bit chiller. Andres bring out the cake and Will is taking pictures for us. We sing her happy birthday and take pictures with her and Lacey cuts the cake. Lacey and Andres got her a Lilo & Stitch cake and some flan. "I know this cake looks good but dam baby you look better." Derek says bitting my earlobe.

"Derek we're at my parents place." I say.

"It didn't stop us before." He says teasingly. "It will now." I give him a wink. We get some cake and sit around Andrea whose about to open her presents. She looks so excited, she's so adorable. Andres and Lacey join her and help her.

"Soon that will be us." Derek whispers in my ear.  "Once I'm done with school." I say.

"And you become successful, I will wait for you Ashton Ferron." He says making me smile. I kiss him, I got lucky with him. "And will we just have a kid or will we have a family?" I ask. "We will have a family, and I'll cook." He says. "On weekends?" I ask. He nods his head. I peck his lips. "We're having this talk to soon, don't scare me off." I say teasing him. He nods his head. "I hope I didn't scare you, I just want you to know that I want everything with you." He says.
