Sadie walked out of the private bathroom attached to the master bed room in her and Kwest's town house. He was lying on the bed watching TV and their daughters, Sage and Whitney, were sound asleep in their nursery. She clutched the pregnancy test in her fist and tried not to let the tears except her eyes. She sniffled and tried to swallow the lump in her throat, which unfortunately made Kwest look up at her.
Kwest: Sadie, what's wrong?
He got up and walked over to her, and she collapsed against him and rested her head on his chest. Kwest, who was extremely confused, rubbed her back gently and tried to calm her down.
Kwest: Sadie, what's going on?
Sadie: I'm –sob- so –sob- so –sob- sorry!
Kwest: Sweetie, what's going on?
Sadie: Here
She slowly raised her hand and uncurled her fist, allowing him to see the test she held inside.
Kwest: Your, your pregnant?
Sadie: I'm so sorry Kwest!
She sobbed into his bare chest and he couldn't help but chuckle a little.
Kwest: For what?
Sadie: We have our jobs and the twins and Ashby and now another baby a-
Kwest: You aren't happy?
Sadie: ABOUT WHAT?!
Kwest: Us having another baby
Sadie: its horrible timing
Kwest: You might get another daughter to spoil and another excuse to go shopping
Sadie: Well, it might not be so bad…
They both laughed a little as they crawled into their bed with Ashby lying across the end of it.
Wally and Kyle were in their apartment watching Scary Movie Four. Kyle was laying on the love seat, his feet were propped on the top of it and Cisco lay under his legs snoring softly. Wally was stretched out on the larger couch, half asleep.
Kyle: So, how was your date last night?
Wally: It was fine until we got home and Cisco practically attacked her
Kyle: What?! Cisco isn't violent
Wally: She growled at her and backed her into the door and wouldn't stop until she left
Kyle: (laughing) Wow, you know, she's never mean to my dates, only yours
Wally: Well aren't I lucky?
He rolled his eyes and turned back to the T.V. Kyle just laughed and reached down to pet their dog.
Kelsi: Seriously Tommy, you don't have to come in
Tommy: But I want to. I have nothing to go home to; besides, I want to see Elli again
Kelsi: Well, I'm sure she'll love to see you to. I think the only time she's put down the horse you gave her was to take her bath
Tommy: What'd she'd end up naming it?
Kelsi: Quincy. I told her she couldn't name him Tommy because if you were both in the same room it would confuse him
Tommy: So she gave him after my last name instead?
Kelsi: Yep
Tommy: Romantic
Kelsi: (laughing) my daughter naming her stuffed horse after you is romantic?
Tommy: You're ruining the moment
He chuckled a little and leaned down, kissing her softly. Just as it got a little more heated though, the front door swung open. They pulled apart to see a little girl clutching an over sized white pony looking up at them, and a blushing baby sitter stood behind her, holding the door open.
Kelsi: Hey sweetie
Tommy: Hi Elli
Elli: Twommy!
Tommy: (laughing) come here
He picked up the little girl and kissed her forehead; she smiled at him and held up her pony for a kiss. He kissed the pony's forehead too and the little girl giggled.
Elli: I missed you. Mommy wouldn't let me come see you at work
Tommy: She's right sweetie, you can't come while I'm at work, but I'll come see you Friday, okay?
Elli: Otay … when's tat?
Tommy: The day after tomorrow
Elli: Otay
Tommy: But I can watch a movie with you tonight
Elli: Can you spend the night?
Kelsi: (blushing) Elissa Montgomery!
Tommy: (trying not to laugh) No sweetie, I have to work tomorrow, but I can stay until you fall asleep?
Elli: Yay! Barbie!
Tommy: Okay, we can watch Barbie
Elli: YAY!
She wiggled around until Tommy put her down, and then ran through the apartment until she got to the living room, where she searched for her Barbie movie. Tommy smiled at Kelsi and the baby sitter before following the little girl. Kelsi sighed as she watched him walk through her apartment, then got some money from her purse and smiled at the teenager standing in front of her.
Kelsi: Thanks for staying later Tia
Tia: No problem Ms. Montgomery … how was your date?
Kelsi: Amazing-
She stopped while she watched Tommy tickle her daughter in the living room.
Kelsi: But sometimes I get the feeling she likes him more then I do…
Tia: The toddler likes him? Then he's a keeper
Kelsi: (sighs) I wish … anyway, thanks Tia
Tia: No problem Ms. Montgomery. Do you need me this weekend?
Kelsi: Nope, he has something to do for work Saturday and I have family visiting Sunday. So we decided we'll spend Friday here so Elli can spend tome with him
Tia: Sounds good, see you next week
Kelsi waved to the teen girl before closing the door and joining the two in the family room, where Tommy was laying on the couch with Elli laying on his chest, clutching the ever present stuffed pony.
Jamie and Patsy were just getting back from walking Spike. Patsy had been sober for two weeks, and was pretty tempermental. So every night they took Spike to the park and Patsy ran with him. Then when Patsy collapsed Jamie gave the dog some water, and played fetch with him till he too collapsed, and usually fell asleep. Then he and Patsy would lie in the grass, people watching, until Spike caught his breath, then they walked home and generally watched either T.V or a movie.
They walked through the front door and Spike immediately ran into family room, jumping up on the couch and turning in circles before plopping down on one end of the couch, his head resting against a pile of throw puppies.
Patsy: That's one spoiled puppy
Jamie: True, but he's happy
Patsy: You should be too
Jamie: Really?
He started kissing her and they slowly made their way up the stairs and toward their room, not noticing as Spike growled quietly from his spot on the couch.
Mason was laying on his stomach on the floor of the living room in the apartment him and Chaz lived in. He and Salty had been playing fetch for a while and now they were both tired. She had plopped down in front of him and rolled onto her back. All four paws were in the air, her head turned to watch him as she panted. When he still didn't pay attention to her she whined quietly.
Mason: What?
The dog rolled slightly, showing him more of her stomach, before once again resting on her back. Mason rolled his eyes but couldn't help laughing a little as he pushed himself up into a sitting position and reached forward to rub her stomach. She whined some more and she wiggled around and wagged her tail happily. Mason looked up when Chaz walked into the room with two coffee cups. He handed one to Mason before sitting on the floor and leaning against the couch. Mason took a sip, then put the cup back down and resumed rubbing her stomach.
Mason: I want puppies
Chaz choked on the gulp of coffee he had in his mouth at the time. When he recovered he looked at Mason as if he had grown three heads.
Mason: What?! I've always wanted to be a dad, besides Salty would be a great mom and think of how cute her puppies would be!
He smiled brightly before he resumed playing with the dog.
Chaz: What?!
Mason: She's so cute! And so is Ashby! If we bred her to Ashby-
Chaz: Mason, we are not breeding her!
Mason: But I want puppies!
Chaz: M-
Mason: Puppies!
Chaz: (Sighs and roll's his eyes) Fine, you can have your gad damn puppies!
Mason: Yes! Here that girl? Once your old enough were gonna make you a mom!
Salty barked a few times before rolling onto her stomach, pushing herself up, and trotting into the kitchen to get something to drink, playing fetch had made her thirsty. She didn't even notice that she had kicked over Mason's coffee cup, spilling the dark brown liquid on the new white carpet.
Darius was sitting on his deck as he cooed at his daughter, Micha. Her proper name was Michella, but her nickname was Micha. The reasoning behind that was every other little kid that appeared at G-Major had one, (Ty, Ri, El, Whit) except Sage since her name was already one syllable. His wife, Shantel, was pouring them each a glass of wine. She was celebrating the fact Micha had stopped breast feeding and he just wanted something to drink.
Darius: She's so cute
Shantel: Does Darius Mill's have a soft side?
She smirked at her husband and even though he rolled his eyes, he couldn't keep the small smile off his lips.
Darius: Only for my kid, Jude Harrison, and Riley and Tyler
Shantel: What's so special about Jude? I mean, what makes her stand out amongst all the artist's you've worked with?
Darius: I considered her my first daughter, and Riley and Tyler my grandchildren
Shantel: As cute as those two are I hope nothing ever happens to Jude and Spied. Can you imagine Wally and Kyle having to raise them?
Darius: … they'd kill them
Shantel: The only one who can calm Riley down is her dad, and Tyler … well I imagine that's what Spiederman was like as a kid
Darius: I imagine he was worse
Shantel: You love him and you know it. You just don't love him like a son since Jude's in love with him
Darius: … I guess…
Shantel: You love all of the SME boys. I seem to recall they get away with everything from leaving a mess in the studio to missing half of a day's worth of recording time by sleeping until one P.M. And the other artists, bedside's Patsy and Mason, well they kinda worship Jude and SME but they also hate them because they're your favorites
Darius: Give it time, the other artist's will get there to
Shantel: Please, no one could ever come close to those four in your heart
Darius: Except Micha
Shantel: Yes, little Michella has her own spot in your heart … but so do those four nineteen year olds, well actually Jude and Spied aren't nineteen for a few months, but you know what I mean
Darius: Okay, okay I admit it! I love all of them
Shantel: Thank you … wonder when Jude and Spied will tie the knot?
Darius: When they have their fifth child
Shantel almost dropped her wine glass.
Shantel: Jude's pregnant again?!
Darius: No, but Sadie is. She was supposed to tell Kwest tonight
Shantel: Wait, how do you know she's pregnant before her husband does?
Darius: She came to Portia and Jude in tears who happened to be in my office at the time … and for some odd reason they didn't kick me out like they did the first time Sadie got pregnant
Shantel: More prove you play favorites! You're her boss yet you let Jude kick you out of the throne room!
Darius: I do n- … throne room?
Shantel: It's what the main G-Major employee's call your office
Darius: By "main" you mean Jude, SME, Andrews, Peagan, Tommy, Kwest, Sadie, Mason, and Patsy?
Shantel: And Portia, but yes
Darius: (chuckling) Interesting
Portia was just getting back from her date with a guy named Mac, actually Darius had introduced to him, surprisingly enough. He had met Darius at some function or other and the two men hit it off. He also knew Shantel somehow. So he came to G-Major one day to see Shantel again and meet Michella, and Darius had introduced her to him. They had talked for a few hours as they babysat Micha and he had ended up asking her out. They went out to dinner, nothing to fancy, just a nice diner he knew about that was on the boardwalk, then walked on the beach. They talked about everything from Micha to her job, to Jude and SME. They walked to the other end of the beach before turning and coming back. By that time it was eleven thirty and she had to be at work early the next morning, so after they had gotten back in his car and he had driven her back to her town house, she actually lived around the corner from Sadie and Kwest.
Mac: Tonight was great Portia
Portia: Yeah, it was
She smiled as they got out of the car, he insisted on walking her to her door.
Mac: So, if I asked the pretty lady out again, she'd say yes?
Portia: She might, depends on what day you asked her
Mac: Really?
Portia: I have to keep Jude and SME in line as well as watch the Harrison-Spiederman children and Sadie's and when Kelsi brings Elli in to visit Tommy and he has to work and she starts to cry because he play with her and that stupid pony-
Mac: I thought you were a stylist, not a babysitter?
Portia stopped her rant and looked at him in disbelieve before they both dissolved into laughter.
So, there are the other families. The next chapter is six years into the future, when Jude's pregnant, again, her and Spied are married (yes I'm skipping the wedding, aren't I insane? Anyway, I'm skipping over it because this story is more about their children then them. They got married two years after Riley was born, Tyler was three. He was the ring bearer and she was the flower girl and they walked down the aisle together. Jude was late going down the aisle because she lost her shoe's, but Spied didn't know that so he started freaking out and after the ceremony Riley hit her mom with her own bouquet for making her daddy upset. They were married outside, in Darius's huge backyard. They were married in June and it was a perfect, cloudless day. Not to hot, or to cold. And it didn't rain until five o'clock that night. Everyone originally started freaking out, but Jude and SME kicked off their shoes and got on the temporary dance floor laid out in the backyard and kept dancing in the rain, eventually everyone calmed down and the party continued … even though thousands of dollars in dress's and suits were ruined and Riley almost broke her wrist as her, Tyler, Ian, Chris, Sage, and Whitney played on the wet dance floor.
Okay, so I'm skipping six years into the future from this chapter. That makes Riley, Sage, and Whitney six. Tyler, Chris, and Ian are seven. Elli is Eight. Sadie and Kwest's little boy, Channing, is five. Jude, SME, Jamie, and Patsy are all twenty-five; everyone else is their respective ages. Jude's pregnant again and so is Patsy (Spied and Jamie swear those two are gonna kill them) Anyway, what I've been trying to say all along, I'm skipping to here because this is when Riley and Tyler decide they want to follow in their parents footsteps … and aren't afraid to let the world know...
