I couldn't tell what it was that made my cheeks flush pink- either the thought of living with Ki, or the attractiveness of his smile.

"Yeah! Come visit! Holly misses you- well, not really. She doesn't like you. She says that your body doesn't have a good smell when ever you're inches from death, but I can tell her to get some air fresheners because when ever you visit-" Ki started rambling with no end in sight. I could tell he was drugged, and it made me wonder how much differently he would ask.

I decided to play along.

"Yeah? You want me to have a sleep over with you?" I asked, trying to hide a smile, but failing miserably.

Ki gasped and his eyes it up. "I want a sleepover! We can gossip and share secrets and everything! I want the kind of sleepover you have with Brandon every night!"

I didn't expect for that to tug at my heartstrings so bad. Heck, I didn't even realize that every night with Brandon was like a little sleepover... and how I would never have a little sleepover with him again.

"Now that I think about it... I think I would like to sleep in my own bed for the night" I reply, trying to hide my uneasiness.

"Alright... tell me if you change your mind," Ki said, yawning and getting comfortable in Brandon's bed.

It was quiet for a few minutes until Ki spoke again. "Feather?"

"Yeah?"

"You're not freaked out about the mirror... are you?" Ki asked, not looking at me. "I mean... now that I think about it... What is wrong with me?!"

I sigh and shake my head. "It was... startling.... but... I guess I'll have to deal with it. Besides, it looks pretty cool. Hopefully it works this time"

Ki let out a low chuckle. "I was the reason that your mirror didn't work" he said, as if that was something to be proud of. "I didn't want you crawling back to... you-know-who,"

I turn onto my side and stare at Ki as he cracks another one of his... well, I'm not entirely sure if he's insane or... or... or, well, insane. He's an odd one, that's for sure. But at least he helped me... in his own special way. "Thanks?" I say, hesitant if I should even thank him at all for almost getting me killed by a giant worm.

"Anyways, I can't wait to bring you home- I need your help with a few errands!" Ki said, but I managed to interject before he rattled off his long list of tasks.

"Wait, Wait, Wait... I though I was just going to visit! I never agreed to do work!" Feather said.

Ki clicked his tongue, trying to hide a smile. "But I promise that you'll have fun! We need to find pixie dust, wrestle a unicorn- Oh! I've always wanted to show you this cave! Crystals line it and it's the most beautiful place I've ever..."

Though Ki's mouth was moving a million words a minute, that didn't stop in inescapable fatigue that I was experiencing. Next thing I know, I'm asleep, listening to Ki drone on and on about crystals and unicorn horns.

I pace around my bed as Molly tends to Brandon, who somehow fell off of the room trying to build himself a little shack on top of the house.

I sit down at Molly's desk and nervously tap my foot, blood pumping through my ears. I try my best to focus on what Molly's saying so that it would hopefully ease my nerves. However, it was impossible to focus as my eyes focused on Molly's movements.

"And you should be set for the night, Brandon. No more climbing, no more building, no more roofs" Molly said sternly, making sure Brandon's bandages were secure. She let out an adorable chuckle. "Thank Goodness you didn't come to me with any burns this time!"

Brandon let out a slight chuckle, but I could tell he was faking it and trying to humor Molly.

Before Molly could instruct Brandon with anything else, I whisk her into the hallway and quickly close the door.

Without a word, and without letting Molly say anything, I get down on one knee.

"Will you marry me?" I blurt out, my nerves racking my whole body and refusing me to think irrationally.

The next moments that follow chill me to the bone. Molly stared at me with a look of shock and excitement. I could tell that she was trying to speak, but was tongue tied.

Her eyes darted to the ring that I presented and she blinked rapidly.

"Oh my.... Is this real??" Molly asked, looking at me with a wide smile. "Darius..." She whispered, momentarily making me regret my decision of proposing. The look she gave me quickly dashed away my fears.

"I'm pregnant" she whispered.
