One day on Starship Enterprise Commander William T. Riker is sitting on the steps coming into the bridge. His wife Deanna Troi walked over and sat next to him.
“What’s wrong dear?” Deanna asked.
“I really miss my family especially younger sister Wilhelmina but she prefers to be called Willa.” Commander Riker answered.
“How come you never told me about your family?” Deanna asked.
“I didn’t think it seemed necessary and you never asked.” Commander Riker.
“How long ago was it that you saw them?” Deanna asked.
“It’s been almost 9 years and I missed them a lot.” Commander Riker answered.
Captain Picard walked in the Bridge.
“Could I have everyone’s attention?” Captain Picard asked.
The whole crew turned to face Captain Picard.
“You have our attention Captain.” Lt. Commander Data answered.
“I have just received word that two younger ladies will be joining us on the ship for a time being so I want you all to make them feel at home here.” Captain Picard said.
“What are their names?” Commander LaForge asked.
“Their names are Wilhelmina Riker and Lesley Granger.” Captain Picard answered.
Commander Riker stared at Captain Picard for a few minutes.
“Did you just say Wilhelmina Riker?” Commander Riker asked.
“Yes I did.” Captain Picard answered.
All of a sudden two young girls beam in. They looked around and the one of noticed Commander Riker than ran over to him. Commander Riker pulled her into a hug.
“It’s so good to see again Will.” The young lady said.
“Yeah same here Willa and I’ve really missed you.” Commander Riker replied.
Deanna looked at Willa and than at her husband.
“Is this the sister that you were telling me about?” Deanna asked.
“Yes it is.” Commander Riker answered.
Willa looked at Deanna than at her brother.
“Who is she?” Willa asked.
“This is my wife Deanna Troi.” Commander Riker answered.
Lesley sighed just as Wesley walked onto the bridge. Captian Picard looked at him.
“Where you been?” Captain Picard asked.
“I was in sickbay with my mother.” Wesley answered.
Lesley looked at Wesley and couldn’t believe his eyes.
“Lesley Granger.” Wesley said.
Lesley looked at Wesley.
“Wesley.” Lesley replied.
“You two know each other?” Lt. Commander Data asked.
“Yes we do. We actually grew up together.” Lesley answered.
“She’s also my best friend.” Wesley said.
“Is your mother here too?” Lesley asked.
“Yes she is.” Wesley answered.
Wesley and Lesley walked down to sickbay. Wesley knocked on the door.

“Hi Dr. Crusher.” Lesley said.
“Wow Lesley Granger, it’s so nice to see again.” Dr. Crusher replied.
“Yeah likewise.” Lesley said.
Dr. Crusher sighed deeply.
“Mom, you really need to let your feelings out.” Wesley replied.
“What are you talking about Wes?” Lesley asked.
“She’s in love with Captian Jean-Luc Picard but she refuses to tell him.” Wesley answered.
Dr. Crusher looked at Wesley.
“How did you know that Wes?” Dr. Crusher asked.
“It’s so obvious from the way you look at him and act around him.” Wesley answered.
All of a sudden there’s another knock on the door.
“Come in.” Dr. Crusher said.

“Thanks Beverly.” Captian Picard said.
“No problem Jean-Luc.” Dr. Crusher replied.
Dr. Crusher got something for Captian Picard’s headache.
“That’s not the only reason why I came here.” Captian Picard said.
“What was the reason why you came here?” Dr. Crusher asked.
“I wanted to do this.” Captian Picard answered as he pulled Dr. Crusher and kissed her.
Dr. Crusher’s eyes widen in shock. A few minutes later Captian Picard broke the kiss.
“Why did you do that?” Dr. Crusher asked.
“That’s simple I’m in love with you and I have been for the longest time.” Captian Picard answered.
Dr. Crusher smiled.

“Whoa, this isn’t good because if you’re sick that you can’t do work today.” Captain Picard said.
“Thanks for the update Jean-Luc.” Dr. Crusher replied.
Captain Picard helped Dr. Crusher to her feet.

“Maybe you’re right and I’m sorry for being snappy with you.” Dr. Crusher replied.
“It’s okay.” Captain Picard said.

“Come in Wes.” Dr. Crusher answered.

“Who’s’ JLP?” Lesley asked.
“I’d rather not say.” Dr. Crusher answered.
“There’s one person I can think of on this ship with those initials.” Wesley said.
“Who’s that Wes?” Lesley asked.
“Captain Jean-Luc Picard.” Wesley answered.
Dr. Crusher sighed. Lesley looked at her.
“Is he right?” Lesley asked.
“Yes he is as usual.” Dr. Crusher answered.

“What would you like Dr Crusher?” Deanna asked.
“Nothing really.” Dr. Crusher asked.
Captain Picard got to his feet and walked over to Dr. Crusher.
“Are you feeling better?” Captain Picard asked.
“Yes I am Jean-Luc.” Dr. Crusher answered.
“I’m glad to hear that because I was really worried about you.” Captain Picard said.
“Thanks for roses Jean-Luc.” Dr. Crusher replied.
“You’re very welcome Beverly.” Captain Picard said.

“I felt the love that they had for each other and I also heard their thoughts about each other when they were together.” Deanna answered.
“I knew that Captain Picard liked Dr. Crusher when he told me take the roses to her when she was sick early.” Lt. Commander Data said.
A few hours later Commander Riker is walking by the beam room when he noticed his parents beamed in with Willa’s twin brother Lochlyn. Evelina walked over to Commander Riker and hugged.
“Hi mom.” Commander Riker replied.
Evelina stopped hugging Commander Riker.
“How have you been William?” Evelina asked.
“I’ve been fine mom.” Commander Riker answered.
Commander Riker went to the bridge with his parents and Lochlyn right behind him.
“Who are these people?” Captain Picard asked.
“The lady is beside me is my mother Evelina, the guy next to her is my father Paden and the other guy is Willa’s twin brother Lochlyn.” Commander Riker answered.
“Welcome to the Starship Enterprise, my name is Captain Jean-Luc Picard.” Captain Picard said.
Commander Riker looked around.
“Where’s Deanna?” Commander Riker asked.
“She was not feeling that great so she went to see Dr. Crusher.” Lt. Commander Data answered.
Commander Riker took off to sickbay.
“What was that about? Who’s Deanna?” Evelina asked.
“Deanna is my counselor and she’s Betazoid.” Captain Picard answered.
“Why is my son so worried about her?” Evelina asked.
“I think it should be him to answer that one.” Captain Picard answered.
A few minutes later Commander Riker walked onto the bridge with Deanna. Lt. Commander Data looked at them.

“Do you promise?” Deanna asked.
“Yes I do because I will do everything that I can protect you and you know that.” Commander Riker answered.

“What’s your name again?” Deanna asked.
“My name is Evaline and this handsome man beside me is Will’s father Paden.” Evaline answered.
“I’m Will’s younger brother and Willa’s twin brother Lochlyn.” Lochlyn said.

“Yes mom, that’s what I said because Deanna is going to have baby.” Commander Riker answered.
“Wow this is great because I always wanted to be grandmother.” Evaline said.
Paden looked at Deanna.
“How far along are you?” Paden asked.
“I’m almost 5 weeks pregnant.” Deanna answered.
Willa walked onto the bridge.
“You’re pregnant?” Willa asked.

“Yes I am so that means you’re going to be an aunt.” Deanna answered.
Willa smiled than left the bridge.
“Should some go talk to her?” Paden asked.
“I’ll go talk to her because after she is my sister-in-law and I want to be her friend.” Deanna answered.
Deanna left the bridge and looked around for Willa. Deanna started to walk around the ship than stopped Willa sitting outside her quarters. Deanna walked over and sat down next to Willa.

“Yeah I’m happy about it really.” Willa answered.
“What are you upset about than?” Deanna asked.

“Well don’t give up because you’ll find someone that likes you back.” Deanna said.
“Did you love my brother the first time you met him?” Willa asked.
“No, I wasn’t but those feelings changed when he came to here to be Captain Picard’s team.” Deanna answered.
“How much do you love him?” Willa asked.
“I love him more than anything else in the entire galaxy and he’s my one true soulmate that I have been searching for all my life.” Deanna answered.

“Why do you want to see Dr. Crusher again?” Commander Riker asked.
“I’ve been getting very weak and Willa pointed that I shouldn’t be that weak from carrying your baby.” Deanna answered.
“I’m come with you.” Commander Riker said.
“You don’t need to do that.” Deanna replied.
“I want to Deanna because I love you.” Commander Riker said.
“Will, I know that you love me because I’m an Empath remember and I can also read your thoughts.” Deanna replied.
“Yes I know that love but I want to be close to while you find out what’s going on.” Commander Riker said.
Deanna, Commander Riker and Dr. Crusher go to down to sickbay. Deanna laid on the bed there. Dr. Crusher check Deanna out.
“Well this is very interesting.” Dr. Crusher replied.
Deanna looked at Dr. Crusher.
“What’s interesting?” Deanna asked.
“The reason that have you been getting so weak is because you are going to have twins.” Dr. Crusher answered.
“Twins?” Commander Riker asked.
“Yes that’s what I said and I could probably tell you what they are going to be if you’d like to know.” Dr. Crusher answered.
Deanna smiled.
“I would love to know.” Deanna said.
“Me too.” Commander Riker replied.
Dr. Crusher checked Deanna out again.
“The first one is a boy and the second one is a girl.” Dr. Crusher said.
“I have to perfect name already for the boy.” Deanna replied.
“What would that be Counselor?” Dr. Crusher asked.
“I’m going to name him William Junior after his father.” Deanna answered.
Commander Riker just started smiled.
“I was thinking that should name the girl after your mother to remember her by and her middle should be your name.” Commander Riker said.
“That’s a good idea Will.” Deanna replied.
Commander Riker smiled. Deanna and Commander Riker walked to the bridge.
“What did you find out?” Captain Picard asked.
“I’m going to have twins.” Deanna answered.
“That’s doesn’t surprise because twins ran in our family.” Evaline said.
“What do you mean?” Captain Picard asked.
Evaline smiled.

“Back off and leave her alone.” Will yelled.
“Why should it matter to you?” DaiMon Taar asked.
“She’s my wife that’s why it matters to me so I suggest that you leave her alone right now.” Will answered.
“Do you want to fight for her?” DaiMon Taar asked.
“No, I don’t.” Will answered as pulled Deanna into the safety of his arms.
“I want her to be my property.” DaiMon Taar said.
“Well I’ll never let that happen so get over and get of here before I get really mad.” Will yelled.
DaiMon Taar and the other Ferengi walked off. Deanna wrapped her arms around Will.

“Alright than go ahead I’m listening darling.” Will replied.
Deanna took a deep breath and started to sing My Hero Is You by Hayden Panettiere.
You know I try to be
All that I can
But there's a part of me
I still don't understand
Why do I only see
What I don't have
When my reality
Those things are not that bad
Your faith has shown me that
When my world goes crazy
You won't let go
When the ground gets shaky
You give me hope
When I try to push you away
You never move, yeah
Now when I start doubting
You help me see
There's strength, and a mind, and a power in me
Oh believe me there ain't nothing I can't do
My hero is you, yeah
My hero is you
I never saw the way
You sacrificed
Who knew the price you paid
How can I make it right
I know I've gotta try
When my world goes crazy
You won't let go
When the ground gets shaky
You give me hope
When I try to push you away
You never move, yeah
Now when I start doubting
You help me see
There's a strength, and a mind, and a power in me
You believe there ain't nothing I can't do
My hero is you, yeah
My hero is you
And I hope that you can see
You're everything that I wanna be, ooh
When my world goes crazy
You won't let go
When the ground gets shaky
You give me hope
When I try to push you away
You never move, yeah
Now when I start doubting
You help me see
There's a strength, and a mind, and a power in me
Oh believe me there ain't nothing I can't do
My hero is you, yeah
My hero is you
My hero is you
Will hugged Deanna. Data looked at Deanna.
“That was a nice song.” Data said.
“I didn’t know that you could sing like that.” Geordi replied.

“The Ferengi were down there.” Data answered.
“What did they want?” Captain Picard asked.
“They try to take me away but lucky for me my gorgeous husband Will stood up for me and won’t let them take me.” Deanna answered.
“Why would they want you?” Captain Picard asked.
“DaiMon Taar wanted me to come with them and be his mate.” Deanna answered.
Captain Picard sighed than looked at Will.

Let's go back
Back to the beginning
Back to when the earth, the sun, the stars all aligned
'Cause perfect, didn't feel so perfect
Tryin' to fit a square into a circle was no life
I defy...
[chorus:]
Let the rain fall down
And wake my dreams
Let it wash away
My sanity
'Cause I wanna feel the thunder
I wanna scream
Let the rain fall down
I'm coming clean, I'm coming clean, oh...
I'm shedding
Shedding every color
Tryin' to find a pigment of truth beneath my skin, oh
'Cause different, doesn't feel so different
And going out is better than always staying in
Feel the wind
[chorus:]
Let the rain fall down
And wake my dreams
Let it wash away
My sanity
'Cause I wanna feel the thunder
I wanna scream
Let the rain fall down
I'm coming clean, I'm coming clean
Rain fall down
(I'm coming clean)
Rain fall down (He-yeah)
Rain fall down...
Let the rain fall,
Let the rain fall,
I'm coming clean...
[chorus:]
Let the rain fall down
And wake my dreams
Let it wash away
My sanity
'Cause I wanna feel the thunder
I wanna scream
Let the rain fall down
I'm coming clean
[chorus:]
Let the rain fall down (Oh, I'm coming clean)
And wake my dreams
Let it wash away (Oh, I'm coming clean)
My sanity
'Cause I wanna feel the thunder (Let the rain fall)
I wanna scream (Let the rain fall)
Let the rain fall down (Let the rain fall)
(I'm coming clean)
Let the rain fall down
Mmm, oh-oh-oh
Let's go back
Back to the beginning

“Who is that singing?” Ordran asked.

“It’s nice to meet you.” Ordran replied.
Wesley grabbed Ordran’s arm and took him out of earshot.
“Are you in love with her?” Wesley asked.
“Yes I am and she’s so beautiful.” Ordran answered.
“She’s been hurt by her younger brother’s best friend.” Wesley said.
“What do you mean?” Ordran asked.
“She’s in love with him but he’s in love with her friend Joanna Hayden who he is now dating.” Wesley answered.
“Oh poor Willa.” Ordran said.
“My best friend Lesley Granger who is also friends with Willa has been trying to help Willa feel better but so far it hasn’t worked.” Wesley replied.
Ordran walked over to Willa.
“Would you like to show me around the Starship?” Ordran asked.
“Yes I would love that.” Willa answered.
Willa and Ordran walked off. Wesley just smiled as Lesley came up to him.
“What are you smiling about Wes?” Lesley asked.
“Ordran talked to Willa into showing him around the Starship.” Wesley answered.
“Do you think that we will end up together?” Lesley asked.
“Yes I do because Ordran really likes her.” Wesley answered.
Lesley smiled.
~Meanwhile a few feet away~
Ordran looked at Willa.
“Wes was telling about the trouble you’ve had with love.” Ordran said.
“I don’t care to discuss it.” Willa replied.
“Why not?” Ordran asked.
“I just don’t want to.” Willa answered.
Ordran stopped and pulled Willa close than kissed her. Willa broke away from the kiss and slapped Ordran across the face.
“Why did you do that?” Ordran asked.
“I did it because the kiss so uncalled for.” Willa answered.
“No it’s wasn’t because I think you’re really pretty.” Ordran said.
Willa smiled than sudden noticed how handsome Ordran is.
“Thank you and you’re very handsome.” Willa replied.
Ordran pulled Willa close again and kissed her with more passion the first time. A few hours later Willa is sleeping in her bed in the quarters that she shares with Lesley and she’s dreaming about Ordran. Ordran is sleeping in Wesley’s quarters dreaming of Willa. Dr. Crusher is sleeping in Captain Picard’s embrace in his quarters. Deanna and Commander Riker are sleeping in other’s arms in their quarters.

Chapter 5
Things Just Aren't Working Out

It’s been a few weeks since Will protected Deanna on the away mission. Willa is starting to see that Ordran isn’t the guy for her. All of a sudden there’s a knock on the door.
“Come in.” Willa said.
The door opened and Ordran walked in.
“Hi there.” Ordran replied.
Willa smiled a little.
Ordran walked over to the bed where Willa is and pulled her tight than kissed her. Willa pulled away.
“Don’t Ordran.” Willa said.
“Why?” Ordran asked.
“You’re a really nice guy but I just don’t see anything special between us.” Willa answered.
“Are you breaking up with me?” Ordran asked.
“Yeah I am.” Willa answered.
“Fine than.” Ordran said.
Ordran stormed out of Willa’s quarters. A few minutes later there’s another knock at the door.
“Come in.” Willa replied.
The door opened. Lesley and Wesley walked into Willa’s quarters.
“What did you say Ordran?” Wesley asked.
“I broke up with him because I don’t see anything special between us.” Willa answered.
Lesley started to grinned.
“Does this having anything do with Lt. Commander McNell?” Lesley asked.
“I don’t know what you’re talking about.” Willa answered.
“Yes you do because I know and your brother knows that you’re in love with Lt. Commander Brycen Edwin McNell.” Lesley answered.
“Alright fine, you’re right.” Willa said.
Willa sighed than left her quarters with Lesley and Wesley right behind her. Commander Riker walked over to his little sister.
“Do you miss your friends?” Commander Riker asked.
“Yeah I really do Will.” Willa answered.
Commander Riker smiled than left. A few while later he returned with Willa’s friends.
“Hi Willa.” Madelina said.
“Maddie.” Willa replied.
Willa and Maddie hugged each other. Willa suddenly noticed Brycen.
“Hi Willa.” Brycen said.
Willa smiled and hugged Brycen.
“It’s good to see again.” Willa replied.
Brycen laughed a little. Jacen rolled his eyes and walked off.
“What’s his problem?” Willa asked.
“I was thinking the same thing.” Brycen answered.
Sidney ran after Jacen.
“Jacen.” Sidney yelled.
Jacen spun around and stopped.
“What do you want Sid?” Jacen asked.
“I want to know what’s up with you.” Sidney answered.
Jacen sighed.
“I’m so sick of the way Brycen won’t come out and tell Willa that he likes just as much she likes him.” Jacen said.
“How do you know that?” Sidney asked.
“It’s pretty obvious from the way he always flirts with her.” Jacen answered.
“Oh I never noticed.” Sidney said.
“Yeah I kind of figured that.” Jacen replied.
“Have you talked to him about it?” Sidney asked.
“No, I haven’t because you know what he’s like when he force him into something.” Jacen answered.
~Meanwhile in Ten Forward~
Willa is thinking about being with Brycen. Willa started to sing Baby I Love You by Jennifer Lopez.
Boy I never knew I could feel
The way I felt, when I felt
They way you were feelin me baby
I'm so out of control
Everytime you look my way
I realize more and more
How much I adore those pretty eyes of yours
I'm helpless baby
What I want to know is
Are you willing to try
Can you love me for a lifetime
Or just one night ohh
Baby I love you
Love You
Baby I need you
Need You
I gotta have you
I gotta have you baby
Cant be without you
Be without you
Baby I love you
Yea
Baby I need you
Need You
I gotta have you
I gotta have you baby
Can’t be without you
Blessed and Cursed on the same day
The day that I first felt the power of you
Inside of me
Such a strong feeling
There comes a time in everyone’s life
When you know that everyone around you knows
That everything has changed, your not the same
Its a new day
Oh what I wanna know is
Are you willing to try
Try to be more meaning to this than what meets the eye
Baby I love you
Love You
Baby I need you
Need You
I gotta have you
I gotta have you baby
Cant be without you
Be without you
Baby I love you
Yea
Baby I need you
Need You
I gotta have you
I gotta have you baby
Can’t be without you
Ohh I love the way you kiss me
Baby please
I’m about to loose my mind
Ohh talk to me
cuz I’m beggin for you and I’m down on my knees
Baby I know your the one that I need
...Baby I love you...
...You know that I need you...
...Gotta have you...
...Cant be without you...
...Baby I love you...
...You know I need you...
...Gotta have you...
...Cant be without you..
Brycen heard Willa singing. Brycen sighed and started to sing You Get My Heart by Aaron Carter.
When I need someone to believe in
I turn to you
And you never ever let me down
You always come through
And I just wanna thank you for
The way you make me make feel, hey
Baby you get to my heart
The deepest part
Girl I wanna be where ever you are
Only you know
Right where to go
Something that I never had
Is taking control, it's your love
From the start
You get to my heart
If in time
You don't know where to run to
Just come to me
I'll be here for you with all my heart
Be all that you need
'cause someone like you is
One in a million, it's true, hay
Baby you get to my heart
The deepest part
Girl I wanna be where ever you are
Only you know
Right where to go
Something that I never had
Is taking control, it's your love
From the start
You get to my heart
Can't believe how long I've waited
Without you in my life
All I've ever wanted
I can see in your eyes
Baby you get to my heart
The deepest part
Girl I'm gonna be where ever you are
Only you know
Right where to go
Something that I never had
Is taking control
It's your love
From the start
You get to my heart
Yeah, you get to my heart
Willa heard Brycen signing and just smiled.
“I don’t understand why he’d be singing that song.” Willa thought to herself.
Brycen walked into Ten Forward. Willa smiled a little at Brycen. Brycen walked over to Willa and sat down next to her.
“How have you been?” Brycen asked.
“I’ve been really good.” Willa answered.
“That’s good and I’m glad to hear that.” Brycen said.
Willa sighed.
“I just wish that I could find someone that I’ll be happy with.” Willa replied.
“You will when the time is right.” Brycen said.
“When will that be?” Willa asked.
“It’s hard to say really.” Brycen answered.
Willa sighed again. Brycen put his arm around Willa and pulled her close to him. Willa smiled.
“Wow, I love it when he pulls me close like this because it just feels so right.” Willa thought to herself.
Brycen noticed Willa in deep thought.
“What are you thinking about darling?” Brycen asked.
“It’s nothing really important.” Willa answered.
Brycen sighed.
“I somehow don’t believe you.” Brycen said.
Willa sudden realized what Brycen called her a few minutes ago.
“Did you call me darling a few minutes ago?” Willa asked.
“Yeah I did.” Brycen answered.
“Why did you call me that?” Willa asked.
“I just felt like it.” Brycen answered.
Willa sighed than went to get up but Brycen pulled her back to beside him.
“Why did you do that?” Willa asked.
“I don’t want you to leave just yet.” Brycen answered.
“Why not?” Willa asked.
“I just don’t okay.” Brycen answered.
“That’s not a good enough answer for me.” Willa said.
Brycen sighed than kissed Willa on the cheek.
“I want you to stay with me because if you leave than I’ll be lonely.” Brycen replied.
Willa looked at Brycen with a confused look on her face. Jacen came into Ten Forward and noticed them. Jacen cleared his throat.
“What would you like?” Willa asked.
“I’d like to talk with Brycen alone.” Jacen answered.
Brycen and Jacen go out of earshot.
“What did you want to talk me about?” Brycen asked.
“I wanted to talk you about Willa.” Jacen answered.
“What about Willa?” Brycen asked.
“I know that you like her as friend but I sometimes wonder from the way you act around her if you like her more than that.” Jacen answered.
“I don’t know what you’re talking about.” Brycen said.
“Come on, I’ve known you along time so I know when you like someone.” Jacen replied.
“She’s just my friend that’s all.” Brycen said.
Brycen got to his feet and went back over to Willa. Jacen shook his head and walked off. Commander Maverick Jenkins walked over to Jacen.
“What’s wrong with you?” Maverick asked.
“I’m so sick of Brycen hiding his true feelings for Willa inside and I talk to him about but he refuses to admit that he likes her.” Jacen answered.
“Well you know he’s like that.” Maverick said.
“Yes I know but if he doesn’t tell her soon than she’s going give up hope on being with him and I know that they’d be great together.” Jacen said.
“Does that mean you’d be happy if they ended up together?” Maverick asked.
“Yes I would because Brycen is my best friend I want to find happiness with someone.” Jacen answered.
They don’t know that Brycen was listening in. Brycen sighed than went to where Willa.
“Can I ask you something?” Brycen asked.
“Yeah sure go ahead.” Willa answered.
“What’s your type of guy?” Brycen asked.
“My type of guy is handsome, sensitive like me, quiet, tall and mysterious.” Willa answered.
Brycen smiled.
“There’s only one person that suits.” Brycen said.
“Who would that be?” Willa asked.
“Me of course.” Brycen answered.
Willa sighed.
“Yeah it does but you just like me as friend remember.” Willa said.
“What makes you so sure about that?” Brycen asked.
“That’s what you told Jacen and Maverick.” Willa answered.
“Yeah that was true at the time but than Clarissa really got me thinking about you.” Brycen said.
“What do you mean?” Willa asked.
“She told me that I should get to know you more than see what happened.” Brycen answered.
“Have you gotten to know me more?” Willa asked.
“Yes I have.” Brycen answered.
Willa sighed than went to get up. Brycen pulled Willa back down beside him and kissed her on lips this time. Willa’s eyes widen in shock. A few minutes later Brycen broke the kiss and looked at Willa.
“Why did you do that?” Willa asked.
“I’ve been realizing lately that those feelings friendship have changed into stronger feelings.” Brycen answered.
“Are you saying that you like me?” Willa asked.
“Yeah that’s precisely right I’m saying.” Brycen answered.
Willa smiled and hugged Brycen really tight.
“I’m so glad to hear finally say that.” Willa said.
A few hours passed. Willa is in her quarters dreaming about her future with Brycen. Brycen is the quarters that he shares with Jacen and Maverick dreaming about his future with Willa.
