"Last but not least," I smile as I hand Lily the little box.
"You're such a goof" she laughs and slowly opens it.
Her eyes grow as wide as golf balls as she tears up.
"I know it's too soon, but-"
"YES!" she jumps up and hugs me. "I love you!"
"I love you so much" I squeeze her.
"YOU'RE GETTING MARRIEDDD!" mama screams in excitement.
Lily soaks my shirt in tears, causing me to cry myself.

"Shit never gets done in here" Lily picks up pillows on the ground.
"Well aren't you doing shit now?" Eddie throws his candy wrapper on the floor.
"You little s-"
"So do you like the knife?" I turn to Eddie.
He nods. "I did! Thanks brother"
"I still can't believe you're engaged so so early" Layla flips through her catalog.
"What's the point in waiting? We already know this is forever" I laugh.
"Exactly" Lily chuckles and sits on my lap.
"Well, Merry Christmas guys, I'm gonna head home" Eddie stands up.
"Got your present waiting at home?" Layla winks.
"Oh yeah, a girl laying on my bed, naked with her legs spread" Eddie leaves the house and we all burst out laughing.
"I can't stand him" Lily shakes her head as she laughs.
"Sure you didn't want that brother and instead of that one?" Layla points at me.
I playfully roll my eyes and Lily immediately shakes her head. "Yeah no, I'll stick with mine"
"Good choice" I kiss her temple and laugh.
Layla stands up. "Well, I better go see my boyfriend"
"Tell him I said hey!" Lily waves.
"I sure will!" Layla smiles. "See you guys later!"
"Peace out" I wave and she leaves the house.
Lily holds her stomach. "I really can't wait for our little one to be born"
"Let's change Hugo and do... Bruno if it's a boy!" I exclaim and Lily laughs.
"Yeah, let's see how everyone thinks of that name-"
"What's that suppose to mean?"
"Well, I didn't like Hugo and nobody else did-"
"Wh-"
"Hugo reminds me of the horse from The Saddle Club" she raises an eyebrow.
"I never watched that show SOO I can't relate" I cross my arms.
"Then watch it. Now I view the name Hugo as a horse name. I guess since I've been rewatching the series since I was about ten" she shrugs.
"Yeah, and I've been rewatching the same porno since I was about ten. You don't see me complaining about your name-"
"WHAT?!"
"WELL"
"YOU WATCHED A PORONO WITH MY NAME?!"
"Always found Lily a hot, pure name" I wink.
"Better than a horse name" she raises an eyebrow.
"So you're dissing everyone with the name Hugo?"
"No, I'm not. It's a cute name. For an animal"
"My cousin is name Hugo"
"No it's not"
"You're right"
"Liar"
"Fine. See what your friends think of Bruno and if they don't like it, tell them to suggest another name" I say.
"Sounds good to me. I mean, Bruno's cute! But I use to have a puppy named Brun-"
"STOP STOP STOP STOP STOP" I cover my eyes.
She bursts out laughing. "Merry Christmas, bubba" she cuffs my cheeks and kisses me.
I kiss back. "Merry Christmas, beautiful. And my little one" I put my hand on her stomach.
"I can't wait to marry you" she smiles.
"I can't wait either! We'd be married before Aaliyah or Bruno's born!" I say in excitement.
She rests her head on my chest. "I love you, so much"
"I love you too. And you" I squeeze her.
"Forever right?" she takes my finger.
"Of course" I kiss her forehead.
"It's always gonna me and you" she says softly.
"It will. And our little one" I laugh and she nods.
"Merry Christmas"
"Merry Christmas"
