Ok I know that this 90210 update should have been here the longest time ago but I had a lot of family tragedies this month. I already went to 2 funerals and have to go to a third one next weekend. Plus the fact that I never get back home until late at night is another mishap. But don't worry, I'm spending the week in Orlando with my aunt and uncle (since BOTH of my parents are out of town) until next weekend's funeral, then I'll be home. FINALLY!

So here's my update for my new series, 90210: The HSM Generation. Enjoy everyone!

Zeke's POV

This is all happening too fast. I mean, who would have thought that two people who have never met before can fall in love and get married in 9 months. That's long it takes to have a baby...and get through a school year. Pretty scary, huh? Well, this is happening to my mom...and I had to be one of the groomsmen, again. God, how I hate tuxedos.

I guess you can this all started right at the beginning of my sophomore year, when my school, McGarrett Prep Academy, had our annual open house. It was then that my mom had met the man of her dreams; the Mr. Bryan McKessie. He was a good man but the one problem with him dating my mom was that his daughter, Taylor, was one of my classmates. It wasn't like we were going out or that we were even good friends. It just seemed really out of place that a student who is in almost all of your classes has a father that is dating your mother. That almost drew me crazy but I got over it...eventually.

Taylor was kinda antsy about it, I think she still is now, but she seems to look ok about it. I know what the reason of this antsyness because I had it too at the beginning: divorce issues. Yes, both of our parents had endured divorces and ironically, in the same time period. My parents' divorce was meant to be after my mom had found out that my biological father was physically abusing me. It was going on for a good 3 years before she had came upon a beating a few days before Valentine's Day. She had immediately pulled him off of me, yelled at him and told me to pack my stuff. I knew that the marriage was over then. The McKessie's divorce was quite the opposite: they loved each other but as Taylor grew up, they started to have problems. And lots of them too! This lead to heated arguments and fights which led to their divorce. I only talked to Taylor about it once and all she could say that it was all her fault. I couldn't say anything after that.

But now that our parents met, everything changed. They dated throughout Taylor and I's sophomore year of high school before Bryan proposed to her at our end-of-school banquet...in front of the whole class! And now, a month and 12 days later to the proposal, here I am in a rented out tuxedo, beside my future step-father, awaiting the wedding to start in a few minutes. You can say that my year flew too fast but if my mom is happy, then heck, I might as well be happy. I've already gotten closer to Bryan than I've ever been with my real father. We play sports and do all other kinds of stuff that fathers and sons do together. I don't know if my mom managed to bond with Taylor but my guess is that they haven't. I know my mom's been trying but Taylor hasn't been meeting her half-way, always making excuses to study or something like that. It's kinda sad to hear it but I know they'll bond together soon so we can be a happy new family.

Speaking of her, here she comes now down the aisle. The wedding already started now and she's the 3rd bridesmaid to come down the aisle. Her light green dress really brings out her skin tone, thanks to my mom of course. She kinda looks breathtaking and I can hear her father beside me, trying not to cry. Her hair is up really curly and from the back, you can see the moon-shaped birthmark on her right shoulder. Yeah, she looks pretty nice to be a bridesmaid, but then, she's going to be my step-sister. This should be fun.

Oh, and finally, here comes my mom, behind the two flower girls, one of them my cousin Nadia. Now I'm trying not to cry. She's in her classic white dress but it's a strapless with flowery designs all around the dress. Her train is long but not too long and her long cascading brown hair is pulled back a little. For a mother, she looks beautiful and I can't believe that moms can ever look like that...especially moms that are closing in on their 40's.

She made it down the aisle and winks at me with her tear-stained eyes. I just smile back as I see my future step-dad take her hands and face her. The ceremony begins...

Taylor's POV

Finally, the wedding is over! I can take this fu...I mean freaking...dress off and change to my ceremony dress. Wait...we have pictures to take now, right? Oh dang! Now I'm stuck with this for a good 15-20 more minutes. How fantastic!

The wedding wasn't too bad. The planner did a fantastic job on everything and I was really shocked. This was way better than Mom and Dad's wedding. Oh Mom...how I miss you so. It's kinda sad to say that you miss your mom when she was one of the ones that made your childhood miserable. She's the one who kept me on my studies and academics while my dad wanted me to step out of that circle and learn about the arts and sports. I guess you can say I had a very busy childhood. What with dance, gymnastics, cheerleading, school, piano, softball, and tutoring, it can take a lot out of you. Luckily, I kept it all in balance.

But when my parents' got divorced, I had quit on every extracurricular activity until I reached the 8th grade. The divorce had took a lot out of me and I knew I couldn't keep everything up like I used to. When 8th grade came and I learned about the preparations for that college step, I had to pick up where I left off. I only do a few of the activities I did when I was a kid. I still do dance, gymnastics and piano. One of the things I hated giving up on was cheerleading, one of my childhood passions. When I was little, I had the hugest dream of being on the Dallas Cowboys Cheerleading Squad. My mom even got me the mini cheerleading outfit and the matching boots, straight from Dallas. It was hard for me to quit it but I had to make a decision. Plus the girls on the McGarrett Prep Cheer squad were all witches anyways. I would just become one of them and I didn't want that to happen.

Then came my sophomore year of high school, where my dad met Elena Baylor, aka Zeke's mom. My dad worked at one of the highest rated travel agencies whereas his mom was a professor at the University of Georgia. It sounds like a highly unlikely couple, but they met at our open house and immediately fell in love like out of a sappy chick flick. Then, the rest was history. I started to know Zeke a little better, after finding about his sad mini-past, and our parents grew closer...which lead to the wedding today. I can say that it's nice to see my dad happy again but to have him be happy while I get a new mother and brother...it could have came easier than that.

Oh well, it's all said and done now. The final flash of photography almost blinded me out of my stay-happy-and-smile phase as I realized that everyone was leaving either to change or go to the reception next door. Either way, I was happy that I could get out of this dress. But before I could go, Zeke had came up to me. It was nice to have him as a step-brother but it still creeps me out that we've been classmates for almost all our lives now.

He asks me, "Can you come out here for a bit? I want to talk to you before we head to the reception," Of course, I say yes, being the nice person that I felt like I was at the moment. We walk out to the courtyard outside in the country club as we can see the sun setting out west. We're pretty silent at first, not knowing what either of us are gonna say. Then Zeke starts talking.

"So, our parents now officially wed, huh?" he says.

"Yeah, it's kinda weird but if my dad's happy, then I guess I am," I say back, shrugging a bit.

"Same here. But I know what I really want is for us to be a family, you know since..." Zeke states, pointing out about his abuse.

I nod and reply back, "Yea, but here's the thing. I know I'm used to you as a classmate at my school, but having you as a new step-brother just might be a little too much. And then having your mom as my new step-mom..."

"Don't worry, I'm kinda scared too. But I've bonded well with your father and you. We just need your 25 put to make it all good," he explains. I knew my non-bonding with the new family had something to do with this conversation.

"I know and I'm sorry. I'm just trying to get used to having new primary family members," I sigh softly.

"Yeah, it's the same for me too. But we'll make it work, I promise," Zeke smiled as he came over and hugged me. This was the first time we've ever shared a brother-sister moment. It felt kinda nice to hear inspiration words from him. I hugged him back as I tried to absorb the fact that this was my new family..and I had to make this work. For myself and for the new family I was gonna be apart of.

One month later...

3rd person POV

It was in mid-July when everything started to change for the McKessie-Baylor family...again. From when Bryan and Elena got married to now, the Baylors had moved into the McKessie manor and everything changed. After Elena changed her name, Zeke had to make the enduring decision either to keep his biological last name or change it. He soon kept it the way it was for school purposes. Zeke also got a new room in the McKessie manor, taking the other Jack-and-Jill room that was shared with Taylor. Which meant that Taylor's hang-out pad was moved to the play-room in the attic, which Taylor didn't mind...only for a little bit.

The parent's honeymoon lasted for almost 2 weeks and during that time, Zeke and Taylor had bonded a bit more. Chilling by the pool, playing Frisbee in the front yard, and learning the other's hobbies were just a few of the things they did during that time. Once the parents came back home, everything soon settled back to normal...at least until today.

Zeke was out doing laps in the pool while Taylor was sunbathing on the porch balcony above. All seemed nice and quiet until they heard a car pull in a driveway, fast loud talking and doors slamming. Taylor was the first to notice that something was going on and Zeke heard it when he pulled out of the water after doing a lap. They looked at each other, trying not to expect the worst.

"Honey, it's here!" Bryan McKessie yelled through the house from the foyer.

"Taylor! Zeke! Get in here right now! We have some news for you guys!" Elena yelled from inside the house. The teens immediately got up from their spots and toweled off before heading inside.

Elene Baylor-McKessie walked into the foyer as Zeke and Taylor were coming up/down the stairs.

"What's going on?" Taylor asked her dad and step-mom.

"It's the answer to your father's promotion request," Elena smiled as her husband and opened the letter.

Zeke and Taylor had immediately looked at each other in confusion. They didn't know anything about their father asking for a promotion, especially Taylor. That, she was somewhat appalled of.

"Yyyess! I got the promotion!" Bryan exclaimed as the whole family cheered.

"Amazing, where are we going?" Zeke asked.

"That's so cliché. Whenever someone gets a promotion, they immediately have to move. We're not going anywhere...right Dad?" Taylor said before asking her dad.

He looked back down at the letter and slightly frowned, something Taylor noticed when something was wrong.

"Well, are we?" Taylor urged as Zeke tried to calm her down.

"For this promotion to work, unfortunately, we have to move to Beverly Hills, California," Bryan smiled.

Before Elena could celebrate that also, she was interrupted by her teenagers.

"WHAT?!"

Ok, there it is. After all that hard brainstorming and typing, I finally got the chance to finish it. But I can't leave it off here just yet, so I'm updating the first real chapter of 90210: The HSM Generation later on today. So, this would be the double update for the week for me. Hope you all liked the prologue. The first real chapter is coming soon. R&R! Love you all!

You know you love me.
