Flashback

"Kira! Will you stop bouncing up and down? What do you want to tell us?" Tommy asked with an amused grin on his face. Ever since she'd come back for the reunion she'd been doing nothing but bouncing around in excitement, waiting for everyone to get together.

"Seriously, you're like making my eyes hurt watching you," Conner added putting both hands on her shoulders. "What's up?"

Kira smiled, "Caleb and I are getting married," she said excitedly, pulling the necklace out of her blouse, a diamond solitaire ring hanging on a silver gold chain. "It's wonderful," she said looking at the others, her smile fading as Conner, Ethan, and Trent stared at her like she was a mental case. "What?"

"Are you out of your mind?" Conner exclaimed. "You've only been dating for not even 6 months!"

"I love him," Kira snapped back at him. "It doesn't matter how long we've been dating."

"Kira, you don't even know a lot about him. How do you know he's the right guy for you?" Ethan asked logically. "He could be just playing with you, toying with your heart."

"He's NOT," she snapped, turning her glare on him. "He loves me. He said he wants to spend forever with me, I love him, and I know enough about him to know he's the right guy for me." She looked at Trent, who was just staring at her, "What?" She exclaimed, glaring at him in return.

"He's not right for you Kira. He's just playing with your heart. He says everything you want to here, but it's not from his heart. Don't do this," Trent said softly. He was the only one out of all of them who'd actually met Caleb, so he was the authority on him.

"He loves me enough to want to marry me. Why would he do ask me if he didn't mean it?" Kira retorted. She looked at Dr. O and Hayley, expecting to here objections from them too. She didn't know why her friends were doing this to her, this was her happy moment and they were doing there damn well best to ruin it. Looks like Caleb was right, she thought to herself with a sigh.

Dr. O cleared his throat, trying to distract the four teens in front of him from their apparent glaring contest, "So, when's the wedding?" He asked calmly.

"In eight weeks," Kira said in surprise, fully expecting Dr. O to give her a lecture about living her life, and not becoming tied down to soon.

"Eight Weeks!!" Conner exclaimed.

"Kira! That's way too soon, you just got engaged!" Ethan chimed in.

"Kira, think about this, is this what you really want?" Trent asked calmly, knowing the best way to reach Kira was to make her think.

"Yes!" Kira exclaimed throwing her hands up in the air. "This is what I want! I love him, he loves me; we want to get married when my school break starts so we can have a honeymoon while I'm not in classes." She was close to hysterics about why her friends were so adamant about her not being with Caleb.

Hayley got up and put her arms around Kira, "Calm down," she said softly. "What date is the wedding? I assume we're invited," she said trying keep Kira from flipping out completely.

"Of course you guys are invited, you're my family," Kira said hugging Hayley back. She pulled away from her slightly and regained her composure. "It's July 19th," she said taking a deep breath. "You guys are going to be there right?"

Conner held his hands up, "Not me," he said shaking his head.

"I'm with Conner," Ethan replied with a sigh.

"Kira, you can't do this," Trent said standing up.

"Guys… come on," Tommy began.

"What?" Kira asked, looking as if somebody had smacked her in the face. They can't be serious, she thought in a panic. They wouldn't do this to me.

"I'm not going to sit back and watch you throw your life away with that asshole," Trent said, catching her eyes. "If you're going to get married to him, you're doing it without me." He turned around and headed out the door.

"I'm sorry Kira, but I can't support you on this one," Ethan said with a sigh, getting to his feet and following Trent out the door.

"Ditto," Conner said shaking his head again. "Kira, you're making a huge mistake," he said over his shoulder as he walked out the door.

Kira watched them leave, as the door slid shut after Conner left she lost it completely, breaking down into tears.

End Flashback

"Kira" Tori said touching her arm. "I think Talee is hungry," she said hoping to jostle Kira out of her daydream.

"Wha?" Kira shook her head, wiping at her eyes, and looked in the rearview mirror of her car. Sure enough, Tabitha Lee was making her demands for a bottle known loud and clear. "Tori, the bottle is in the diaper bag, do you think you can take care of her till we get there, it's only about another two minutes down the highway to our exit, and I'd hate to stop now, the movers probably have already dropped off the Storage Pod," she said with a sigh.

"No prob, Kira" Tori said twisting around in the seat so she could get to the diaper bag. "Hold your horses Ms. Talee, I'm getting the bottle as fast as I can," she said with a laugh.

"Thank you so much Tori," Kira sighed in relief and continued the drive.

"Hey, what's that?" Adam asked, pointing with his beer towards the giant white storage carton in the driveway of the house next door.

"Oooh, it's a storage carton" Kim said happily. "Jason! Somebody finally bought the house next door. We're getting new neighbors!" Kim yelled into the house.

Jason came out the front door with a beer for himself, and a wine cooler for his wife, "Great, hopefully they will be nicer than the jerks that moved out," he said as he took a seat next to Kim.

"Still doesn't answer my question guys. Okay, it's a storage carton, what's in it?" Adam asked, and then smacked his forehead. "I've been hanging around Rocky too much, forgive me," he said with a laugh.

"I was going to say, that is totally not like you Mr. Park," Kim said with a giggle. "Oooh the car is pulling up. It's two girls" she said with a squeal of excitement.

"Great, more girls," Jason said under his breath, as Adam snickered, nearly choking on his beer.

"You shut up Jason Lee Scott, there are no girls around here that aren't old fuddy duddies" Kim scolded him. "And you stop laughing too Mr. Park," she threatened. She watched the girls get out of the car, and let out another squeal of excitement. "Ooh Jase! One of them has a baby!" She got up and hopped down the steps.

"Kim! Where are you going?" Jason asked, his eyes getting wide. Not even two minutes had gone by, and his wife was off and running. This was not a good thing in his book.

"To introduce myself to the neighbors," Kim said waving a hand back at the boys as she headed across the yard.

Tori was the first to notice the woman, who appeared to be in her late 20's at the most and she tapped Kira's shoulder. "Incoming" she whispered, heading around to the front of the storage pod to open it up.

Kira stood up from where she was bent over the car, Tabitha Lee in her arms sucking on a bottle, and smiled at the woman walking up to her. "Umm, hi" she said softly. She looks so familiar, Kira thought to herself, where do I know her from.

"Aww, she's adorable!" Kim squealed, and then caught herself. "Ooh, I'm sorry, I'm Kimberly Scott, my husband, and I live next door. I just wanted to welcome you to the neighborhood."

"Thanks," Kira said with a soft laugh. "I'm Kira Sutton, this is my daughter, Tabitha Lee," she said shifting her daughter in her arms. "But we call her Talee for short."

"Talee, that is a cute nickname," Kim replied, looking down at Talee. "She's so cute, and she looks like you too," she noted.

Kira looked down at her daughter and let out a smile, and a soft sigh, "Yeah, that's what everyone says."

"Uhh, Kira! A little help here please," Tori's voice was muffed from inside the storage pod. "I think I'm stuck," she complained.

Kira laughed, "Hold on Tori, I've got to find a place to set up the playpen and get Talee into it."

"Ooh don't worry," Kim said turning around to face her place. "Jason!! Adam!! Come here!" She yelled, waving the boys over.

"Ut-oh," Jason said putting down his beer. "You know what this means right?"

Adam nodded, "We just got drafted for moving duty," he said with a sigh, getting up and following Jason over to the driveway.

Kim smiled, "Kira Sutton, this is my husband, Jason Scott, and our friend Adam Park. The boys will help your friend out of the pod and help you guys move in, so you won't have to worry so much about little Talee there."

"We will?" Jason asked, making an 'oomph' sound as Adam elbowed him. "I mean, we will" he said with a nod, heading over to the storage pod to get Tori out of it.

Kira smiled, "Nice to meet you all," she said softly, a bit shyly.

Adam smiled watching her demure away from looking up at them. "You have a gorgeous daughter," he said looking down at Talee, then up at Kira. "She looks just like you," he added meeting Kira's gaze when she looked up at them, and giving her his trademark smile.

"Thanks," Kira smiled, feeling her cheeks head up slightly. Knock it off, she scolded herself. You don't need anybody right now, look what you just went through.

"You're welcome," Adam said before heading off to the storage pod, where from the sounds of it, Jason was having a hard time dislodging Tori from where she'd gotten stuck at.

Kim looked between Adam and Kira, watching their expressions and she grinned, this is gonna be fun, she thought to herself as she cooed over Kira's daughter.
