Chapter Fifteen
Eliza looked down again, very aware of the deafening silence that filled the room.
Suddenly Peggy ran up and hugged her tightly. Her little sister gave the best hugs. Eliza hugged back.
Then she felt more of them joining the hug. She started to cry.
"Liza, why are you crying?" Angelica asked softly in the special voice reserved for her sisters and Maria.
"Because I'm happy... or surprised. I don't know."
They all laughed and Angelica kissed Eliza firmly on the top of her head. "We love you."
"I love you guys too. So much."

One month later
"Let's go." Lafayette said to everyone as they stood in the park. "We gotta, how you say... catch them all?"
"Guys, Peggy is graduating tomorrow." Maria said in exasperation, her hand on her small baby bump. "Shouldn't we be preparing in some way?"
Peggy huffed and turned to her practically-sister-in-law. "No time for that! WE GOTTA CATCH 'EM ALL!"
"What exactly is this?" Maria asked through a chuckle.
Angelica wrapped and arm around her girlfriend's waist and pulled her in closer. "It's Pokémon Go."
"WE GOTTA CATCH 'EM ALL!" Peggy yelled again.
"You'll like it." Eliza said in her soft voice. "It's fun."
They started playing, walking around the park and looking for the Pokémon. About twenty minutes passed.
"WAIT, IS THAT A FUCKING MEWTWO OVER THERE?!" Maria squealed, excitedly.
Alex looked at her phone. "Yes! Catch it!"
She then attempted to catch the Pokémon, but was failing. "I CAN'T DO IT!"
They all crowded around her, urging her on.
"COME ON, TWIN. YOU GOT THIS!" Peggy yelled.
"Stop pressuring me!"
Finally Maria just screamed and threw her phone. Luckily, it landed in the grass. Then she went to flop down next to it, but caught herself at the last second.
"What was that?" John asked with a laugh.
"I remembered I'm pregnant." She grumbled, crossing her arms.
Angelica smiled and kissed her forehead.
"You just lost a Mewtwo." Hercules spoke up solemnly.
Angelica have him a fierce look. "Don't remind her!"
"I'm just saying-"
"Herc, if you stress out my pregnant girlfriend, I swear to god." The look she gave him was enough to make anyone back down.
Hercules held up his hands in defense.
"Maybe we should just play through Peggy?" John suggested diplomatically.
Everyone agreed.
AN: so Pokémon Go is a thing. And Peggy is graduating high school next chapter.
