While the apartments that Edd, Matt, and Tom moved into after Tord's giant robot destroyed their old house were nice, it didn't mean the trio wished to live in them forever just so they'd always be together. After many years of them living in those apartments, Edd decided he was going to head to America in order to take a offer on a animation career, Matt finally found the love of his life who he was going to buy a house with, Tom's music career was finally reaching lengths to where he could afford to tour the world to play in concerts, and so only after a lengthy chat between the three of them they finally decided that even though they loved being around each other daily and having adventures together, video calling every day also didn't seem so bad considering the happy future's they've chosen.
So they all took their time packing as the three of them left the apartments one by one, and the future was bright for them. Edd became a popular animator and voice actor, Matt proceeded to buy a house with his lover and start a family of four, and Tom became rather famous for several years as his most popular songs became hits of the decade...
Well that was a few years ago, maybe four or eight, who's counting anyway? The three men aren't young adults anymore, and while they do still have some spirit in them, they also don't speak to each other daily like they made plans to do forever... in fact they haven't spoken for the majority of those four or possibly eight years.
They don't particularly miss each other, well when they think about one another they do, but otherwise they're too busy dealing with their own things and their adventures almost feel like ancient history; that was until Tom received a call from a old friend one morning, requesting for them to meet up and talk about something urgent...

Aarna never thought two pink lines could shake her world.
She stood frozen, staring at the test in her trembling hands. Pregnant. A word she had longed to hear, yet feared the most.
Would he accept it? Or would he push her away again, just like before?
The door creaked open. Her heart pounded.
Sharad's sharp gaze met hers. "What are you hiding?"
Her breath hitched. She wasn't ready for this. Not yet.
