Hey, I took longer than was expected of me to update, so sorry for the wait. I won't be able to reply your reviews on this chapter, but I will do that in the next chapter. I want to thank everyone who reviewed, followed and added this story to their favorites thanks a lot.
I wanted to make the child a girl, but nine people wanted a girl and another nine wanted a boy. So to make everyone happy, I decided to make jade and tori's baby twins, a boy and a girl even though Tori does not have a Y chromosome.
JadeLynAshley; sorry I got you confused, but the prompt is not mine and it says jade tells Beck the baby is his and they get married and have the kid together. Also, the whole gang are through with high school and college. Sorry if I didn't make that clear earlier on. I just wanted to write the story without altering anything. I hope you understand.
And sorry to all those who I made confused.
Disclaimer, I don't own victorious, and I don't own the name Jason and Jordan tattooed heart owns the names.
This chapter was not beta'd, so sorry for the mistakes.
Enjoy the chapter.
FOUR YEARS LATER
Tori's POV
I woke up from sleep when my phone began to ring. I stretched my hands to the chair beside me, with my eyes still closed as I searched for the phone. I picked it up, pressing the receive button and placing the phone on my ears.
"Hiii sister!" Trina shouted from the other end, making my ears hurt. I removed the phone from my ears quickly to avoid any further damage. After I saw that it was safe, I placed it back on my ears.
"what are you thinking, calling me around this time? It's one am for crying out loud," I groaned, trying to keep my eyes open.
"Is it bad that I called you. I told mom to the call you herself. But anyway, I just called to pass a message. Mom wants your you to come home for Thanksgiving and she wants you a day before Thanksgiving. And she want you to bring that jaslin or jasmine, whatever her name is, I Trina don't care. That's the message. And we can't wait to see you Tori, we all miss you even though you can be annoying at times," she completed, making me smile a bit. Trina would always be Trina.
"okay Trin, tell mom and that I'll be there,"
"See you soon sis. Oh, it's 7am and not 1am," she said, before cutting off the line.
"wait, I just went to bed just now, it can't be seven," I groaned, looking at my bed side. And saw that the time was really seven. 'Dang it!' I said pulling my lazy ass out bed.
I walked around sleepily, bathed sleepily, and now I'm eating sleepily. It's just that I've been getting tired a lot lately. The work was becoming too much. Maybe going to mom's for the Thanksgiving will help to relief some of the stress. Besides, I needed it.
"Hey Baby," jasmine greeted, entering my apartment.
"Hey," I waved her, eating my cereal. And yes, I know. After I left Los Angeles last four years, I got lonely and then I started dating a lot of girls. And when I mean a lot, I mean aa loot. It wasn't because I was like them, or fell in love with them. I just dated them because the look more like Jade, but they where never her. I never thought I would ever say this, but some of them were too nice and never challenging like the certain blue-green eyes. And some were to clinging and stuffs that it annoyed my to the core.
But after I met Jasmine, everything was kinda okay. Even though she's not like Jade in the character area, she looks like her a little bit. It was the closest substitute I could get my hands on. And I've grown to like her for her a little bit. She has green eyes, her skin is pale like Jade's and a lot of things. I just hope she would help me forget and feel comfortable again.
"Tori? Babe? You dazed off, what's wrong?" she asked me, with concern in her tone, making me to look at her. I haven't even realize that she was sitting on my lap. Was I really cut up in my thoughts that much? I just smiled and answered nothing.
"What are you doing here this early? It's just 9am," I asked her, taking another spoon from my cereal.
"I didn't see you at work and I thought I should come check on you and see if you're okay?" she said it, more like a question than an answer, as she gently brush my hair backwards with her fingers.
"I'm okay, and besides work doesn't start till 9:30," I replied, taking the last spoon from the plate.
She looked at me worriedly before saying "its 12:30pm Tori. Are you sure that you are alright?"
"12:30pm? I just woke up," I said, raising my hands up and looking at my wrist watch. "damn it, it really is 12," what the hell is wrong, today is just so annoying.
"we've to get to work," I said, gently pushing her off me. I have stood up picking up my plates and took them to the kitchen and dropped it on the sink. I'll wash it when I get back.
"relax. I called in sick for you. So everything is cool. Only that I have to go like right now." she replied from the kitchen door before coming to give me a chaste kiss on the lips. "see you later"
"okay." I said walking her to the door. And then I remembered mom asked d me to bring her for Thanksgiving "umm, jas? Since it's Friday tomorrow and Saturday is Thanksgiving, my mom wants you to choose me to la with me," I asked her, when she was about to go outside.
"yes babe, I'll go you with you." she hugged me before leaving. I hope this Thanksgiving would be nice. I huffed to myself, before I thought of something. Omg I opened my eyes wide, my palm covering my mouth.
Holy shit Jade!. I'm going to see Jade, I'm going to where Jade lives. This is not to going to end well.
FRIDAY
We left new York last night, and we arrived this morning. We left early because I wanted to have early breakfast with my family. I missed them so much. I can't still believe that I spent almost four years without seeing them. My mother would be so happy when she sees me, I thought as I couldn't help but smile.
"what are you thinking off?" jasmine asked, as we walked out of the airport, and stopped a taxi.
"Nothing, I'm just happy that I'll see my mom." I replied, opening the door for her to get in, following her inside after she sat down.
"I understand, but me on the other hand, is nervous. I'll see your whole family, I don't know what I'll do." she signed, leaning back on the seat.
"They'll like you, don't worry," I replied soothingly. I gave the taxi driver the address, removing my phone from my pocket when it began to ring. After removing it from my pocket, I saw that it was Trina who was calling and I answered it.
"Hey little sister. Are you here yet?" she asked
"Yes Trin, I'm on my way." I smiled
"okay, breakfast would not be at home anymore, it's at the park. The one near the house meet us there,"
"okay, we'll meet you guys there bye,"
"bye," she replied, before hanging up. I gave the man the new address, waiting till we see my family.
...
When we arrived, Trina was waiting for us, absentmindedly checking her nails in a fashionable way. Trina would always be Trina.
"Trina," I called, walking towards her.
"Tori?" she replied, hugging me tightly. "you've grown so much and I've missed you," she smiled, pulling out from the hug and holding my hands."
"I've missed you too Trin." I said. "Meet jasmine my girlfriend," I introduced, turning to face Jasmine who brought her hands forward for a handshake, smiling softly.
"Nice to meet you Jasmine." Trina said, shaking the brunette. "you guys can keep your bags here," she continued, opening the trunk of her car, as I placed the bags inside before closing it. After that, we followed her, talking about all that has happened since I left.
"Tori!" I heard my mom shouting happily, standing up from the floor. She moved towards me, engulfing me in a hug "I missed so much. You can't imagine how happy I'm that you finally came, even though it's for a while."
"I missed you too mum," I smiled. I was so happy now that I finally get to see my family.
"Wouldn't you introduce me to the young lady here?" she asked, nudging me.
"oh, sorry. Mom, meet Jasmine my girlfriend. Jasmine, meet my mom,"
"it's nice to see that Tori is finally settling down. Welcome to the family," mom, beamed, drawing Jasmine to sit on the mat with her.
"Thank you miss Vega," jasmine replied shyly, with a tint of red on her cheeks.
"Oh, call me Holly. You're family," mom said, opening the picnic basket. To bring out the food.
"Where is everyone?"
"Your aunt and her husband flights where delayed. And your cousins are arriving late but before dinner. And why didn't you bring your grandmother along?" mom asked, giving Jasmine a plate of pancakes with blue berry syrup.
"I was going to, but she insisted on coming alone. She'll be here before tomorrow." I answered, smiling and eating my pancakes.
"I was going to ask something, but I forgot..." Trina said, tapping her fingers on her cheek.
"okay, you can ask when you rem..."
"oh, I remember now," she said, looking at me and then at Jasmine. "Why do you look so much like Jade?" Trina asked, making me to almost choke on the the food I was eating. Thank you Tori for the having self control! I praised myself, looking around as I realized that everyone was quiet. Trina was having an 'o', lips while my mom looked as terrified as I was, while Jasmine looked confused as ever. What do I say, what do I say. Think of something Tori damn it! I scolded my self.
"who is Jade? " she asked, breaking the silence.
"Not who, it... Umm, i-I mean w-what is jade," I covered up, trying to look as neutral as possible. She turned and looked at me, her face saying I should explain.
"it.. Umm Jade, is a gem... A stone... You know, a very green stone that I like so much. W-what Trina meant was that why does your eyes look like Jade. Because you know, you eyes are green so, it means, Umm looks like Jade." I said, before turning around to look at Trina. "isn't it what you wanted to ask, Trina?" I said, looking at my sister with pleading eyes.
I'm only doing this because if Jasmine finds out I'm using her to remember Jade, she's going to hate me. And I don't want her to hate me even though I don't like her thy much. She is a true friend I never had and I can't afford to lose that. She the only one who knows about my secret, well apart from my family and Andre. And she never judged me, she just accepted me.
"I can't believe I forgot to bring the ketchup! Tori, can you go get us one?" my mom said, making me sign in relief. I love you mom! I shouted in my head, silently thanking my mom. I don't know what I'll do without her. Oh, and thank you Mr ketchup for staying at home.
"yes, I'll go get one, I'll be right back to Jas," I smiled, kissing her cheek. I stood up, quickly walking out of the place. After I moved two steps away from them, I heard my mom telling Jasmine all about how I like 'Jade'.
...
After walking for about two minutes, I found a store close by where I bought a bottle of ketchup.
"Leave my sister alone!" I heard a small but tiny voice shout. I turned around to see what was happening and where the noise was coming from. I saw a little boy standing in a fighting stance in front of his sister who was crying furiously and asking for her mother. He was like 4 years old and he wanted to fight some thrice his size. Though guy I moved closer to the group, I needed to help them before something happened.
"Are you guys alright?" I asked, looking at them. I think they are twins. The boy had dark brown hair like his sister and their eyes where beautiful shades of Blue and green. Those eyes, they look familiar.
"ma sister was dwinking her ice cweam and this people twro her ice cweam on the flwoor," he said, adorably cute on how he exchanged his 'r' for a 'w'.
"Go find someone your size and leave the kids alone," I said looking at the kid who threw their ice cream away. "are you okay now?" I asked concerned, squatting low to their level. I pulled the crying girl from where she stood. There was something about the both of them that I can't seem to place my finger on.
I just wanted to keep them safe. Omg, I'm insane. I don't even know this kids and I want to protect them. I pulled the girl closer, as I sat on the grass, making her to sit on my lap. She placed her soft but tiny face in between my neck and wrapping her hands around my neck.
"what are you guys doing here all alone? Where is your mommy?" I asked the little boy who was now sitting beside me.
"she go to work," he said, raising his hands to rub his sisters hair.
"Then how did you get here?" I asked again, looking at him as he continued to soothe his crying sister.
"our nanny bwought us here. And she didn't want to pway with us, so we wran away,"
"Why did you run? Now your nanny is going to be looking for you. What is your name buddy"
"Jason wey vest" he replied
"okay buddy," I smiled, even though the only words he said that I understood is Jason. "what about you princess?" I asked asked the little one in my arms, using my thumb to to clean the streak of tears that was on her cheek.
"Jordan," she answered simply, playing with the hem of her dress.
"okay, I'll help you find your nanny, but first, who wants some ice cream?" I said, standing up with Jordan in my arms, with Jason holding on to my fingers as we walked to the ice cream booth, their lips spotting a wide smile when they heard ice cream.
My whole life, I've never thought of kids. Hell, I've never even thought of talking with kids and buying them ice cream. And here I'm, bonding with this two amazing kids that I've never known before. I was even starting to get angry because why would a mother in her right senses, leave her kids with someone who can't keep an eye on them. I've to have a serious talk with their parents.
Argh, now I think that I'm sick in the brain. I don't even know them, they are not related to me and yet, I want to talk to their mother. This is so weird.
After I bought them their ice cream, we continued to look for the woman. Forty minutes later of walking aimlessly around the park, because the kids where not much of help as they were so engrossed in their ice cream, we found the lady. She ran towards us, breathing heavily with sweat on her forehead.
"oh, thank God! I finally found you. Thank you miss" she told me, as I handed the two of them to her.
" it was no problem at all. You shouldn't let them walk around alone, it's dangerous,"
"I know, I'll start keeping a good eye on them. Thanks again," she replied holding the both of them.
" like I said, it was no problem," I smiled, as they all said bye before leaving. And then I felt empty again without them. I hope I'll see them again.
Tori met her kids... Well she didn't really meet them. But she did. where would she see them next, with whom?
Sooo, how was it? I hope you all enjoyed.
Till next time. Don't forget to review.
