"Honey you need to hurry up!" Sammy shouted from downstairs waiting for Destiny to get down. They were going to Aria's welcome baby party, and they didn't want to be late. "Okay I'm done," Des said coming down the stairs she had her hair up in a bun, skinny jeans a Jean jacket, and a pair of white sneakers on. "Did you pack all the things in the car?" She asked, "Yes, and are you sure Aria needs all of that stuff?" He asked, "Of course she will, she just had twins after all, and that stuff will come in handy." She replied smiling. "Okay!" He said as they walked out.
At Aria's house
There was a whole commotion outside her house, they were paparazzi and a lot of people surrounding the house. Since both Aria and Daniel were celebrities they couldn't hide their birth from the media. And of course, as more famous people entered their houses more fans and paparazzi surrounded their houses.
"Oh my god, so many people!" Sammy said as they pulled up in a street way, "Thank god they have bodyguards to keep these people away," Destiny commented, "put on your mask and hat!" Sammy said handing her their matching hat and black masks. When they got out of the car they had a guard meet them at the entrance. As they walked to the house paparazzi and fans ran up to them and started shouting our questions.
Destiny took Sammy's arm and tried to walk faster, but it was hard to do when there were so many people around them. It felt like they were being chased by paparazzi and fans everywhere. The minute they walked into the house, Love came running to them. "Finally you guys are here!" She remarked, "Ugh! There are so many people outside!" Sammy said as they took off their hat and masks. "Well you guys should come in, everyone is here already!" She said as she grabbed both of them and took them inside where everyone was. There were a lot of people talking, drinking, Eating, and looking at the baby. Mostly it was Aria and Daniel's family members but three was also a lot of celebrities there. The first one that greeted them was Jason, who Destiny knew from the music industry.
"Hi, Destiny! Sammy! Oh my god look at those babies!" He exclaimed walking up to them. "Nice to see you guys again!" Destiny said hugging him, then he hugged Sammy too. "I'll let you guys talk, I'll go meet Aria and Elizabeth." Destiny said as she left them and walked towards Aria and Elizabeth. "Congratulations girl!" She exclaimed as she hugged Aria. "Thanks love." Aria replied, "I can't believe our baby had given birth already!" Destiny remarked smiling, "I'm just glad everything went well and now I get to see my two babies." Aria remarked looking at the babies sleeping. Destiny looked at them and smiled, "They're so cute!" She said.
Aria laughed, "Thank you!" She exclaimed, "Oh my god! Look who else is here! It's Destiny!" Elizabeth exclaimed running over to them and hugged Destiny. "Hi, Des!" She said to Destiny, "Hey! How are you?" She asked. "can you believe I delivered her babies!" Elizabeth exclaimed smiling, "Yeah Li, im glad you were the one who delivered them too," Destiny smiled, "Ahh, im so proud of you Aria!" Elizabeth said hugging her. Then Aria told them about how she gave birth and how Elizabeth helped her deliver the baby.
Everyone had a lot of fun. They congratulated both Aria and Daniel for giving birth to a beautiful baby girl and baby boy. Since the babies were still newborns not a lot of people saw them. But for the rest of the night, everyone had fun and left Aria and Daniel a lot of baby stuff.
Later that evening when everyone left only the friend group stayed over. Aria, Daniel, Love, Destiny, Sammy, Elizabeth, and Josh were all in the sitting room talking and munching on some small snacks. "I still can't believe that you guys are already parents!" Elizabeth exclaimed, "Same here, it's just unbelievable!" Love agreed, "but that doesn't matter, I'm sure you guys will be great parents," Destiny remarked, "you can bring your little man to practice when his older!" Josh remarked smiling, "Right, he'll learn from his best uncles!" Sammy agreed, Both Aria and Daniel laughed. "You guys are something!" Daniel laughed, "They are still newborns," Aria commented, "that doesn't matter, they can still learn." Sammy added, "I'm sure they'll be super smart if they grow up with their uncles!" Josh remarked,
"If they grow up with you two, then we are all doomed!" Elizabeth said as they laughed. "Forget about us, how about you love? How is it going with you and Davian baby situation?" Aria asked, "I mean I did get help from Li, but nothing is showing yet," Love answered, "But no need to rush things you know!" She smiled, "right," Aria agreed. They sat in silence until they all turned to look and Elizabeth and Josh.
"What?!" Elizabeth and Josh said at the same time, "When are you guys having kids?" Daniel asked, "What do you mean?" Elizabeth asked, "Oh my god, can you two just stop already? This relationship of yours is killing us, why can't you guys just forget the past and start new!" Love exclaimed standing up, "We've been friends for like 15 years now, and you guys think that you can fool us, we all know deep inside you guys still like each other!" She explained, "Love is right, it's not like we're trying to force you or anything it's just that we're worried for both of you," Sammy added, "The more you guys continue this the more your hurting one, and another." Destiny stated, Daniel and Aria nodded their head.
"Look, we don't want to hurt anyone, but we're happy the way things are, and if you care about us then we thought you would leave it alone! You guys shouldn't be fighting over this!" Josh replied, "It's not like we're forcing you into anything, it is your choice." Daniel stated,
"Josh is right, we're happy with the way things are now," Elizabeth remarked, "and if you cared about us you wouldn't have brought it up again!" Love said,
"I don't understand why you guys won't stop fighting about this," Elizabeth said, "it's getting out of hand, and if this keeps up, then our friendship might end." Aria and Daniel looked at each other, "It is just that, we're worried about you two, and if you were to just let your friendship end like your relationship this group won't go on anymore!" Love remarked, "We all know that you guys are meant for each other!" Sammy added, "It just isn't working because of the past, and that's what we want to forget about!" Josh concluded, "Please, just let it go, and talk about something else." Elizabeth sighed.
Later at midnight when they had all left only Josh and Elizabeth were the only ones left. They both said goodbye to Aria and Daniel and headed to their car. As they both walked to their car they looked at each other and quickly looked away. "Have a good night," Elizabeth said as she opened her car door. As she was about to enter her car Josh stopped her. "Hey, wait!" He said, "Yes?" Elizabeth asked. "Why do you act like you hate me?" Josh asked, "I mean I know you are not happy with me, but why? What exactly do you feel towards me?" Josh asked, "Just tell me! Please!"
Elizabeth stayed quiet and didn't answer. She just stared into space. "Please tell me!" Josh exclaimed, "I am sorry. I should have never asked you this! But I wanted to know! Why would you hate me so much?" Josh asked, "I feel like such an idiot! I've been waiting for you to say something, but you just stood there looking like you were lost in thought!" Josh continued, "But I guess I will never know now, because I have no idea why you hate me!" Josh said.
"How could you ask me that? I just don't understand why you would do this to yourself! It hurts me so bad! And why did you even care about me? If you were never interested in me why would you ever bother asking me out?" Elizabeth asked. "Because I love you!" Josh said, "and I wish I knew how to make you forgive me, but I'm afraid I don't have any ideas at all!" Josh remarked as he grabbed her hands.
Elizabeth stood silent, she couldn't find the words to respond to him. She held his hand tightly. "Elizabeth, I know we have been through some hard times together, and I know that we have always liked each other, but everything is different now. We need to move on from the past, we can't keep holding grudges against each other. We are supposed to be best friends, and I don't want to lose that. Please, try to get along with me!" Josh pleaded, "okay, I'll try my best, I promise," Elizabeth replied. "just friends?" Elizabeth asked softly looking up at him, "yup, I want my best friend back!" Josh smiled, "Sure, best friends." Elizabeth smiled hiding her sadness, "See you around then." Josh said hugging her.
Elizabeth frowned and hugged him back. She wasn't expecting him to ask her to be just friends, after saying that he loved her.
