Aphmau's Return

Chapter 1

It was Easter. Everyone on MyStreet was hanging up Easter Decorations, and preparing little chocolate Easter eggs for the children when the big neighborhood egg hunt came. Aphmau, however, was sitting in her room, head in hear hands, sobbing. Katelyn heard her, and stopped decorating. She knocked on Aph's door. "Aphmau? Is something wrong?" She didn't get an answer. Instead, she found the door locked shut. She sighed, and threw a punch at it, shattering it into splinters. Aphmau was too busy sobbing to notice. "Aph, what's up?" Katelyn asked, going over to sit next to her. Aphmau stuttered between sobs. "It's A-Aaron. H-he… I-I…" She broke off into sobbing again. That's when Katelyn noticed the pregnancy tester on her dresser. "Oh my Irene… Aphmau, your…?" Aphmau nodded, sobbing. Katelyn brought her best friend in for a hug, and let her cry into her shoulder. "Aaron's trustworthy. He won't let you alone in this Aph. Trust me." Aphmau nodded, her sobs reduced to sniffles. "Kawaii-Chan? Cookies?" Katelyn called downstairs. "Coming!" Answered the bright young Meif'wa's voice. "C-cookies?" Aphmau looked up, eyes starting to shine. "I-I want cookies!" Katelyn laughed, and brought her friend downstairs. She noticed Aphmau's legs shaking, as she held onto Katelyn as if her life depended on it. Katelyn didn't mind. If Aphmau was really going to have Aaron's child, and she was going to marry him and move into his house, then this would be one of the last times she might be able to spend with her. Aphmau caught a whiff of Kawaii-Chan's home baked cookies. "Cookies!" She yelled, running towards the kitchen. Katelyn snorted, and followed more slowly. She and Jeffory had just become official, and she was still a bit jittery about her soon-to-be stepdaughter Abby, but she was so cute, and she loved her. She smiled. Kawaii-Chan grinned at her and Aphmau as they settled down to eat the cookies in the living room. "Sooooo, Aphmau-Senpai, Kawaii-Chan heard that you and Aaron were going to get married?" Aphmau stiffened immediately, and didn't say a word. Katelyn explained her situation to Kawaii-Chan, the young Meif'wa's eyes growing bigger with each word. "EEEEEeeEEeeEEEEeeeeeeeEE!" She squealed. "My ship has sailed!" She cried, but noticed Aphmau's upset face. She held up her cookie. "Do you want it?" Aph's face immediately brightened, and she snatched the cookie and started to nibble on it slowly. Katelyn spurted milk out her nose from laughter. Aphmau smiled slowly, and headed up to her room.
