~The next morning~

I woke up and Aaron had his arm wrapped around my waist. He was holding me as close and as tight to his body as he could. I sunk down, further into the warm covers, and fell back asleep.

~Two Hours Later~

I woke up again, but this time I was alone. I look around for any sign of Aaron, but there was none. He must be downstairs, I thought.

So I gathered my shower stuff and headed for Aaron's bathroom. I opened the door and took off my shirt and boxers, which had been the entirety of my clothes, I thought I heard someone's voice, but I was too tired and groggy to think much of it. I opened the shower curtain and finally opened my eyes.

When I saw who was in the shower I screamed louder than I ever have in my entire life. Nick was standing there, completely nude-as was I. He screamed when he heard me scream and I stepped back, slipped on a little puddle of water, and hit my head on the toilet.

"Holy shit!" he exclaimed.

"OW!!" I yelled. "NICK WHAT ARE YOU DOING IN AARON'S BATHROOM!?" I screamed. I realized I was still naked and grabbed the first piece of cloth I could find. Which - I'm guessing - was Nick's towel.

"My shower's busted and Angel's in the main bathroom, so I figured I'd use Aaron's... I didn't think he'd mind so long as I didn't wake you up - which I didn't..." Nick explained.

"Good lord," I said, rubbing my forehead.

"WHAT HAPPENED!?" Aaron yelled, appearing in the doorway.

Realizing how this must look to Aaron, I turned to Nick and said, "Why us? Is this our karma or something? Are we forever cursed to being seen by Aaron when the worst can be asumed?"

"I'm beginning to think so," Nick agreed.

"Someone up there," I said pointing to the sky. "REALLY doesn't want mine and Aaron's relationship to work out." I took a deep breath, motion for Nick to get back behind the shower curtain so I could properly put on my towel, and walked over to Aaron.

"Amy," he said in a low, serious, voice. "It's getting harder and harder for me to believe what you say... and it's tearing me apart..."

"Is everything alright?" Angel, BJ, and Leslie were all in the door.

"Yeah," Aaron said. "Nick was taking a shower in my bathroom and Amy walked in on him."

"Are you okay?" BJ asked. "I heard a pretty loud thud..."

"Yeah... That was my skull connecting with porcelain," I rubbed the back of my head. "And my ass with the floor."

"Okay, so long as you're not badly hurt."

The three sisters walked away, leaving me and Aaron alone... sort of.

"Like I was saying...its getting really difficult to believe what you tell me when I keep see you and Nick together like this. It's really getting old, and I'm getting tired of it," he sat on his bed and dropped his head into his hands.

I took a seat next to him and said, "Baby, I wish I could give you a good reason for why you keep catching us at the worst possible moments... but all I can say is dumb luck..." I paused for a moment and thought about how Aaron must feel. His girlfriend confesses that she cheated on him with his brother, and post-confession he keeps finding the two in horrible positions, whether it be hugging, or naked in a bathroom. This wasn't fair, he deserved better... a lot better than me anyway. "Maybe my mom and I having to move wouldn't be such a bad thing after all."

The worried expression on his face was instantly replaced with that of worry, confusion, and anxiety. "W-What?!" he asked, as if not believing his ears.

I hung my head in shame, "Why do you put up with me?" I asked. "I've given you nothing but trouble since day one... So why do you not just leave me?"

"Because I love you!" he said as if it were the most obvious thing in the world. "Why don't you ever believe me when I say that?" He took one of my hands in his and used the other to cup my face. "There is only one thing that would make me ever even consider breaking up with you..." he lowered his voce to a whisper and continued, "and that's if I found out that you slept with Nick..."

I looked at him and gave him a tender kiss on the lips. "You are the only Carter that will EVER get in my pants, no matter what..." I gave him a deeper kiss, which he promptly returned.

We came close to repeating the previous afternoon when Nick called, "Hey, Amy?"

I groaned, frustratedly. "What is it Nick?"

"...I need my towel..."

I slid under Aaron's covers and pulled off Nick's towel. "If you really need this towel..." I threw the towel at him and he began to walk away.

"Hey-" Aaron said to his brother before he left, causing Nick to turn around. "Wash that towel before you even THINK about using it." Nick laughed, nodded, and quickly left the room. Aaron then turned around and looked back at me. "Now where were we?" He pretended to think. "Oh yeah..." he smirked.

Aaron quickly shut the door, locked it and hopped underneith the covers beside me. And after about a half hour we WERE back to what we'd been doing the day before.

~Later~

I smiled as I looked up at Aaron while I rested my head on his chest. He ran a hand through my hair.

"I love you, Amy."

"I love you, Aaron." I sat up a bit, leaned over, and kissed him passionately.

We lay there for a little while longer before someone knocked on the door.

"I'm sleeping," Aaron lied.

"Do you guys want anything from Burger King?" Nick asked.

"Double cheeseburger, medium fry, and a coke, please," I said. Aaron gave me a "right, cuz we weren't in the middle of something" look, "What? I'm hungry!" I lowered my voice so only he could hear, "Besides, I need to 'refuel'," I winked at him and kissed him on the cheek.

Aaron raised his eyebrows mischeiveously. "I want a 7 inch long subway!" he called out.

I nudged him hard in the stomach, nearly falling over in laughter. "You are so sick!"

"Aaron, you dumbass, there's no subways at BK!" Nick shouted back.

"Then I want a long hot dog!" Aaron said after a moment, his face wrinkled with a big silly grin.

I almost choked after laughing so much, my breath becoming short. "You are such a dog!"

"Aaron..." Nick called back warningly.

"Fine! What's she having, then!"

Nick rapped on the door in response, his signal of leaving. "Alright. Keep it down in there you two! We've got a baby in this house!"

Aaron and I got dressed and headed downstairs. I took a seat on the couch and Aaron went into the kitchen to talk to Angel. They were whispering about something and I couldn't help but be curious as to what they were saying...

I was tempted to go and listen, but stayed on the couch instead, bored.

After two seconds, I bounced back up off the couch. I could never stay in one place too long... Unless it was in bed.

The fireplace mantle was filled with pictures, it's glass covers glistening under the shine of the crystal chandeliers over my head. I walked over and examined them, laughing at how small Nick and Aaron were when they were younger, how Ang and her sisters had poured a bucket full of water over Aaron's head exactly when the picture flashed, it seemed, a few years ago.

All these childhood memories looked so cute, even with all the stories Aaron told me about his growing up.

I continued giggling to myself as I wandered around the room, looking at all the photographs, until I came upon one wedged behind a vase. My breath caught in my throat.

Our neighbor's tongue was in Aaron's mouth, their eyes bright in the picture. How old is this picture?

It looked pretty recent. But I didn't jump to conclusions, after all, I was the last person who had a right to do that.

"Hey," Aaron said, walking back in the room with Angel. "What 'cha lookin' at?"

"Nothing," I turned around and sat down on the couch. "Just all the family photos."

"Oh, yeah. We have way too many of those," he said, smiling. He took a seat next to me and said, "Where the hell is Nick with that food. I'm starving!"

"He only left like five minutes ago..." I said with a smile at his annoying yet adorable impatience.

"Well then why do they call it 'fast food' if it ain't fast?" he said folding his arms like a five year old would.

Angel gave him a pat on the head, to which he responded by looking up at her and glaring at her.

"Calm down, little boy..." she said jokingly. I tried not to giggle, but apparently didn't succeed much, 'cause I got a little bit of a glare, too.

"I'm not little!" he playfully grumbled to his sister, before turning to me and winking. "Right Amy?"

My face must've blushed ten times pinker, and I looked down at my shoes. I felt Angel's knowing look burning into the back of my head.

"I think I can live without this conversation..." Angel said with a laugh.

I blushed even deeper and kicked Aaron's shin lightly. "AARON!" I whined, pouting.

"I'm just letting the whole world know how much I love you, baby." Aaron chuckled, siddling up to me and wrapping my arms around his shoulder.

Angel rolled her eyes. "What is up with you too lately? And by the way, try not to make too much noise when y'all sleeping cause Kanden keeps waking up."

"Sl-sleeping?" I stuttered. My lord, did the whole world know that Aaron and I had banged or what?

She laughed. "You two aren't exactly the quietest couple..." She gave me a knowing look.

"Heh, yeah," I said scuffing the floor with one of my chucks.

"We play Monopoly all the time," I tried to give her a convincing grin.

She rolled her eyes benignedly. "Hell, I didn't know moaning each other's names was a new trademark of that game. Quite loudly too." She grinned to show she was just playing, but I felt my face burn up even hotter.

"Need I remind you of..." Aaron said, coming to my rescue. "'AAAANNNNDDDDYYYYY!!!'?" He moaned the unfamiliar name loudly.

"SHUT UP!!" Angel said, throwing a pillow at his head as he started laughing hysterically.

I raised my eyebrows at Angel. "Andy, huh?"

"I'm gonna kill you, little brother!" She hit him with another pillow.

"Anndyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy, I like 'em like thatttttttttt." Aaron moaned again, rolling onto the floor in his hysterical fit. Angel retrieved another satin maroon throw pillow off the couch and started hitting him with it.

I laughed, enjoying the show. "Need help?" I offered.

"How about she holds and you hit?" Aaron asked his sister.

"Perv!" Angel shouted, then smirked. "Actually, good idea." She handed me the pillow. "I'll hold, you hit."

He frowned. "Aww man!"

"Hold what?" I smirked as I got down on all fours and surveyed Aaron's writhing body.

"Where it hurts most," Angel replied deviously.

"I LIKE THAT IDEA!" Aaron exclaimed, rolling on his back like a dog begging for a tummy rub. "But Amy has to do it just like before..." he gave an evil grin and my face turned blazing red.

"You are so gross!" Angel said, hitting him in the face.

A faint crying noise came from the kitchen, "Shit, the baby," Angel said as she rushed upstairs.

Aaron and I continued our little wrestling match and it soon turned into a tickling war.

"I GIVE!" I surrendered as he pinned my arms and attacked my stomach.

"What?" He yelled loudly to the air around him, turning his head left and right as if to see who had just spoken. "What?"

"I GIVE!" I yelled, pushing him so that we rolled over on the hardwood floor. Now I was on top.

"Hmm." Aaron smirked, bringing his arms behind his head as he looked up at me. "I think I like this position better."

"Whos walking in on who now?" Nick asked, looking down at us, BK bags in his hands. Could I be any redder?
