'Lilly's POV'

Days pass quickly, they blur together. The days turn into weeks, which turn into months. The Evils' haven't tried anything since we adopted Felix. I'm now seven months pregnant, so my baby bump is pretty big.

It's about 9:00 at night. I've just tucked Felix into bed and am going back to Lloyd and I's room. I get there and change into my pyjamas... Everyday has been the same for a while now...

I look into the mirror on our wall. I hold onto my necklace and immediately feel my mothers presence "mom, I love you... I wish you could be with us again so badly... Thank you... For giving your life for Cole and I..." I feel tears burn in the corners of my eyes and I let my necklace go, her presence that was keeping me warm is now gone...

"Talking to spirits are we?" I hear the voice of none other then Evil Lloyd. I whip around, and, sure enough, he's standing there, but I don't see the other four

"Where are the others?" I ask and take a step back

"Oh, I didn't bring them. I must do this on my own." He begins taking steps towards me. I'm about to call out for Lloyd, but he slaps a hand over my mouth before I can "shh, be good, Lilly... You see, this could've all been avoided if you'd just stayed with me..." I feel his hot breath on my ear

I struggle and try to pull away as his left hand travels down to my stomach. He traces circles on it while he holds a knife to my neck with his other hand

"Let me go..." I whisper harshly

"That would defeat the purpose of all of this" his smirk grows bigger.

Just as he presses the tip of the knife to my throat the door opens

"Mommy I... Mom!?" It's Felix

"Felix! Run!!" I scream

"Aw, he calls you mom..." Evil Lloyd lets me go and flies towards Felix. I grab Evil Lloyd's arm

"Don't touch him!" I scream

"Daddy!!" Felix lets out a blood curtailing scream

"Lilly, just let him die... He was never supposed to live..." My eyes widen

"No! He was supposed to live!!..." Right?... I wouldn't have found and saved him if he wasn't supposed to live, right?... Right?!?!

My thoughts are interrupted by Lloyd pushing Evil Lloyd away from me

"Lilly! Get out of here!!" He screams. I begin to make my way quickly out of the room, taking Felix with me.

I rush into the living room, where only Zane and Kai remain

"Lilly, what is wrong?" Zane asks

"Lloyd needs help, Evil Lloyd's shown up again!"

"What?! Where are they?!" Kai asks

"In Lloyd and I's room!" They take off running, up the stairs and into our room

"Mom... Will daddy be okay?" Felix asks

"Yes, your father will be fine. Don't worry about him, Felix," I pet his head, waiting for any word of how the guys are doing

"Oh yeah! Can I have some water?" Felix asks

"Of course," I get him some water in a kids cup and go back to waiting in the living room. Felix gulps down the water and goes to get more

Kai walks back into the living room "Lilly, its safe to go back to your room now"

"Alright, thanks Kai," I take Felix's hand and tuck him back into his bed. I set his water on his bedside table "goodnight Felix," I kiss his forehead

"Goodnight mom,"

I close his door and walk into Lloyd and I's room, I see Lloyd standing there with his arms crossed

"Lilly, why did you come in here alone?! Why didn't you tell someone that you were going to sleep?! You know they're after you! Do have any idea how worried I was?!" He raises his voice

"I thought it was safe! I didn't know that he'd attack me..." I sniffle and narrow my eyes at him "and you think you were worried! I was the one with a knife pressed against my throat!" I scream, tears now free falling down my cheeks

"You have to be careful, Lilly!"

"I've been careful for seven months! I thought I'd be fine if I was alone for five minutes!"

"Why can't you just understand how I felt!? I was in a panic thinking that he was going to kill you!!"

"How you felt?! What about how I feel at this moment! Why are you yelling at me?! You have no right to be mad at me!" I don't even try to stop the tears from spilling out of my eyes. His face twists into a look of regret and sadness

"Lilly, I'm sorry... I was just afraid-" I cut him off

"I don't care Lloyd! You started yelling as soon as I walked into the room, without even thinking about how that would make me feel!! You acted like a complete jerk!!" I turn and walk out of the room without even looking at his face

"Lilly, wait-!" He grabs ahold of my sleeve and I turn around

"Don't touch me! Leave me alone!" I pull my arm from his grasp and I see tears form in his eyes. I turn and continue walking down the hall, away from him...

~The Next Day~

I haven't spoken to Lloyd since we fought... I've barley seen him at all... I feel awful, I shouldn't have said that... But he shouldn't have either!

Cole has already talked to me about all of this, I'm sure Lloyd's had an earful from him...

I sit alone by a tree in the backyard with Felix. As I continue thinking a tear falls down my cheek. Felix looks up from his drawing and looks at me

"Mommy... What's wrong?" He asks

"Nothing, sweetie..." he hugs me and, without looking up at my face he asks

"Are you and dad fighting...?" My eyes widen

"Well...." I can't finish my answer before I begin crying again

"He's really upset mommy... And so are you... So why continue fighting?... It doesn't make any sense, it just makes everyone unhappy..." He makes a great point, but...

"It's more complicated then that Felix..."

I see Nya approach us, she sits beside me under the tree

"Felix, could you go play inside, please."

"Yes mommy." He takes his drawing and runs inside. I wipe away my tears with the back of my hand

"Lilly... What happened?" She asks. I cry even more as I tell her about our fight. She wraps her arm around my shoulders and pats my back

"Lilly... He made a mistake... But so did you..." the truth hurts and I lift my head

"I know..."

"It's been rough since the Evil Ninja showed up, he was just worried about you Lilly. We've all been worried, but, he'd feel responsible if they killed you, so he was probably more scared then angry."

I sigh "what have I done Nya?" I hold my head in my hands. She just continues to pat my back.

'Lloyd's POV'

I sit in Lilly and I's room while Cole yells at me. I don't try to yell back, there's no point

"Cole, leave him alone." I hear the calm voice of Jay as he walks into the room

"Why should I?! He upset my sister!"

"Yeah, he did, but she upset him too!" Cole's eyes widen and he shuts up immediately "now, get out, please," he walks silently out of the room

"Thanks Jay," I lift my head just enough to see him through my hair

"Aw, no need to thank me buddy!" He exclaims happily and plops down onto the bed beside me "now, what happened?"

I tell him about our fight and finish with "and now, she won't even talk to me..."

"The thing is, you've just got to let her be angry for a while. Trying to reason with an angry woman is like trying to swim across an ocean full of hungry sharks, you don't have much of a chance," I laugh a bit at his comparison

"But, what'll I do if she stays angry?" I ask

"She probably won't, she seems upset too you know." I shake my head, I really was a jerk... She deserves so much better "don't beat yourself up about it, marriage isn't all sunshine and rainbows," he pats my back and I continue to shake my head...

I was so scared that I couldn't see how she felt... I shouldn't have yelled at her...

'Normal POV'

Lloyd and Lilly, both in their sadness, share a few similar thoughts:

I miss her...

I miss him...

I don't want to fight...

There's no point in fighting...

I hope she forgives me because... I love her...

I hope he'll forgive me... I don't want to fight... I love him...

I'll protect her...

I'll let him protect me...

Then one thought the exact same

Until death do us part...
