Chapter Ten
Caleb sighed as he and Pogue ascended the stairs a few house after they had gotten back. He was tired and just wanted to go to bed. He had to check on Cashleigh first though. He frowned seeing Reid standing outside the door.
Reid pushed off of the wall holding his breath a little. "Hey Caleb!" He called down the hallway seeing him hoping Tyler heard him.
Tyler pulled away from the kiss grinning a little realizing Reid knew somehow. He looked down at Cashleigh who he had been leaning over just kissing her. "Sounds like our fun is over for now."
Cashleigh giggled at him. He laid back against the pillows, and she moved closer cuddling up to him laying her head on his chest, and her hand rested on his tight abs.
Tyler grinned holding her to him as the door opened, and Caleb walked in with Reid right behind him almost knocking Pogue down. Pogue frowned looking at Reid wondering what the hell was going on. He looked up raising an eyebrow seeing Cashleigh and Tyler curled up together.
Caleb frowned. "Why does my sister look like she's been thoroughly kissed?"
Tyler paled.
"Maybe because I have." Cashleigh giggled.
Pogue's mouth dropped open in shock hearing her as did Reid's.
Caleb looked at his sister incredulously, and then to Tyler and back to his sister at a loss for words.
Tyler bit his lip nervously looking at his brothers. "I asked Cashleigh to be my girl always and forever right before we left for camp five years ago. She said yes, and we've kept that vow to one another ever since. It broke my heart when we got back and she was gone. I never stopped loving her though.. I never broke our promise to one another, and neither has she. What happened to her doesn't break her promise to me either. I love her and always will. I'm going to kill Chase for what he did to her, and anyone else that ever tries to!"
Caleb took a deep breath taking in what Tyler just told them. He realized that part of him already knew, and had always known. He knew Tyler would never hurt her either or push her into anything. He smiled at them, before going over and kissing her on the forehead. "You have my blessing. You two always have had it. I love you both. Goodnight." He ruffled Tyler's hair a little.
Tyler sighed in relief holding Cashleigh a little tighter to him. "Thanks man. You're opinion means a lot."
"I love you too Caleb." Cashleigh smiled at her brother.
Caleb smiled as he left the room knowing his baby sister was going to be all right.
Pogue grinned. "Well hell this is a surprise!" He glanced at Reid then who was leaning against the wall. "Baby boy and baby girl together. I never saw that coming."
"Neither did I, and here I was beginning to think he was gay." Reid laughed.
Tyler laughed at Reid. "My heart left with Cashie. It's always been with her man and always will be. Never has it or will it ever belong to another!"
Pogue grinned. "Let's leave these two alone. I need to go call Kate. I'm missing her all of a sudden." He abruptly left the room leaving a wake of laughter behind him.
"I'm happy for both of you." Reid told them after Pogue left.
"Thanks Reid." Cashleigh said as Tyler nodded at his best friend.
"I guess I'll be getting a new roommate now." Reid grinned as Tyler looked at him in confusion. "I meant her. You two seemed attached at the hip now."
Tyler grinned. "Possibly."
Cashleigh blushed as Reid laughed leaving the room. She looked up at Tyler then. "That went better than I expected."
"Yes it did." Tyler smiled at her leaning down and kissing her.
Five minutes later that's how William and Gorman found them. William smiled a little teary eyed. Gorman had told him a long time ago about catching Tyler and Cashleigh together. He'd just got done explaining what happened earlier tonight. He waved his hand shutting the door lightly, and motioned for Gorman to wheel him to his room. "My baby girl is growing up." William sighed.
"That she is William, but at least you know she is happy." Gorman smiled.
William nodded as they entered his room. Gorman helped him get ready for bed, and into it before heading to his own room down the hall smiling as he went. Thinking of the ten year old girl, and the twelve year old boy back together again after five long years.
Glenn frowned as his wife ran into their room. "What's the matter baby?"
Taylor frowned. "I can't find Tyler." She said wringing her hands. "Caleb's asleep. Pogue's talking to Kate, Reid's with Reina. Where could he be?"
Glenn smiled getting up, and walking over to her pulling on a dressing gown as he did. "He was watching Cashleigh earlier. Did you check her room?"
"I figured she was with her father." Taylor frowned running from the room anxious to find her son and make sure he was all right.
Glenn shook his head and followed her. He watched her run in the room without knocking.
"Something wrong?" Joseph asked from his doorway. Jade appearing beside him wrapping her arms around him.
"Taylor couldn't find Tyler. I told her to check Cashleigh's room." Glenn smiled walking by them.
Joseph looked at his wife, before taking her hand and following Glenn.
Glenn walked into Cashleigh's room raising an eyebrow seeing his son and Cashleigh wrapped in one another's arms asleep. He frowned noticing his wife crying. "What's wrong baby?" He asked wrapping his arms around her from behind.
"I always knew he loved her. I would find him sleeping at night with her picture in his arms, and I could tell he cried himself to sleep." Taylor told him crying.
Joseph grinned holding Jade to him who was sniffling a little herself.
"What's going on?" Wayne asked as he and Porcha walked into the room. "Whoa!" He said seeing Tyler and Cashleigh.
Porcha smiled. "It was just a matter of time. You could tell even as kids they we're in love."
Glenn, Joseph and Wayne looked at one another wondering how they we're always the last to know. Joseph and Wayne sighed pulling their wife's from the room.
Taylor pulled away from Glenn going over to the bed. She took her son's shoes off, and tucked both of them in kissing both on their foreheads, before letting Glenn take her back to their own room.
