Chapter 10

Everyone was gathered in the suite no one was talking everyone was just in a state of shock; everything was fine yesterday…what happened. "They…they can't be… Be gone" said Gabi. Max was just pacing up and down "Well we have to go look for them why are we here doing Nothing!" he screamed. "I'll try calling Alex" Bailey said in a shaky voice, she dialled but there was no answer. "Well did she hang up" asked Maya "No it was just ringing" she said worriedly "I agree with Max some of us should look for them we could go to the airport see if we can find them they couldn't have got that far" said Zeke trying to keep his cool because truth is he was on his edge. "I'm going" said Max "We need to find them they can't just run it's not going to solve anything" "I'm going to I really can't get my head round this" Gabi said "Ok we better get going then the rest of you ask the workers and search the area" said Zeke enforcing the rules was his thing. They all just nodded.

It seemed like they had searched the whole of Las Vegas "You don't think they planned this all along" asked Harper "I honestly don't want to think about it Harper" replied Max. "What the hell are we going to do call the police are parents we can't just wait around we have no idea what's happening to them we have to do something" said Troy. "I really don't think we should tell the cops that will create more drama….i really think we should come clean to our parents" Gabi said, she really didn't want to do it but they were missing in their books and they never left a trace in sight "Are you sure I mean what if they come back" said Rocky "There not coming back it's been like 5 hours if they were here they would have called by now" CeCe said "Its Gabi and Max's choice it's their parents" Maya said and she was absolutely right…..

"Are you sure about this" Justin asked "This may be are only chance to be together I'm showing and my mums going to know as soon as I get home and you'll have to tell your parents they'll tear us away from each other and I can't take it" she said sobbing into his shirt.

Max was dialling his parent's number he had to do this, he couldn't let his brother and sister in law run away, sure it may seem good in this situation but he knew that they'd regret it after. Sure running way seems like the right thing but in the long running it's a …..Mistake.

Hey Maxi how's the vacation

Mum that's what I wanted to talk to you about

Is everything ok?

No not really it's about Justin

What is it sweetie

Him and Alex… We've been lying to you guys for a while Alex… she's having um Justin's baby

Max is this a joke because it's not funny

No, and you see we aren't in Cali were in Las Vegas…..and um Alex and Justin got married

Now please say you're kidding

Mum they've run away

Oh my goodness Max how you could keep this from me and your father this isn't a joke do you have any idea where him and that girl have gone

No, and mum she isn't that girl she's you're daughter in law and the mother of your grandchild and have you any idea why they ran away because of you and your stupid rules

Max I'm your mother and you will not speak to me in that way now where going to have to deal with this calmly I'm going to text him and see if he replies I'll try to convince him to come home that's all I can do for now if there's no replies I'll have to get the police involved it's the only way

Mum please don't shout at him if he picks up that will drive him more away

Max I… can't…believe what's, what's happening

Mum please don't cry

Well what am I supposed to do my sons got a poor girl pregnant and now there married and have run away I'm calling Justin now. What are you going to do about Alex's mum?

I'm not sure yet

I guess I could get in touch with her

Ok I'll see you mom

By…e sweetie

He hung up "What did she say" asked Rocky "She um said she'll try and call Justin and see if he picks up" "What happens if he doesn't answer" CeCe said "DON'T SAY THAT! I'm sorry it's just I'm worried" said Gabriella "No you don't have to say sorry Gabriella CeCe should be apologising she's the one open her mouth without thinking" Rocky said giving her a make it right face. "I'm really sorry" CeCe whispered.

Carmen was absolutely shaking; what if she never saw her son again was she really that bad that he had to do that. "Honey what's the matter you're trembling" Jerry asked in a worried tone "Honey its, its Justin he ran away with that Alex….girl she's pregnant with…his um baby and they married each other" "WHAT! I don't understand they just went on a vacation you're not making sense…. Who told you this?" "Max he just called" Carmen said while crying. "Well we have to call him get some sense into both their heads what about Theresa has a right to know the cant run around if she's….having a baby its dangerous" Jerry said panic in his voice "Well that's what I was going to do we should put it on speaker so we can both talk to him no shouting just talking". Carmen got her phone out dialled and put it on loudspeaker surprisingly he answered

Justin I want you to listen carefully, you need to come home

Mum we can't

Justin listen to your mother

That girl is pregnant it could be dangerous she needs to be around her mother

We can come to some kind of arrangement but please don't do this don't hurt this family

I love her

And that's exactly why you need to come back

I'll call you guys in a minute and with that he hung up

"That was my um parents they were crying they want us to come back and sort this out what shall we do" Justin asked "I'm not sure are they ok with this….with us" "Alex I don't care what they say or do you're my family too and I love you no one can change that" the kissed her and they sat there "Call them and tell them were coming back" Alex said " Are you sure" Justin asked "Yes I need to talk to my mum" and with that she picked up her phone and dialled.

Hi mija how's California

Honey what's wrong

Mum I'm pregnant

Justin…

Not Jerry Russo's son Justin Alex what were you thinking how could you do this do you know I may lose my job and look at you you're 16 how are you going to manage

Mum me and Justin eloped he loves me and he's going to be there

Not with his parents how could you run off and get married like that does your sister know

Yeah mum

Justin's parents are willing to compromise

And you believe that

Yes I do

Alex I can't do this now I'm upset with you enough I need to talk to his parents

I am so sorry mum I really am I love you

And with that her mum hung up "What happened what did she say" "The same old your young what about his parents, nothing I haven't heard before" Alex said " Ok I guess were going back I better call Max and apologize I shouldn't have done that"

Max was sitting in his suite bedroom when his phone rang

Max I am so sorry

Bro oh my goodness are you ok

Mum and dad said they'd compromise whatever that means to them

Ok well were flying out tomorrow so I guys I'll see you in a couple days where are you guys

In a motel in Vegas

I guess we didn't look properly

You're the best brother Max

Ditto

1 MONTH LATER

Their parents had a real go at them… understandable. Carmen Russo wasn't going to accept this jerry was warming up to it seeing as Carlos was his old friend he knew Alex was a nice girl he just never imagined her and his son. The agreement so far was that they could see each other with one of their parent's present, talk about feeling like a baby. Justin's mum hadn't talked to Alex apparently she wasn't ready whatever that meant to her. Alex's mum was warming up to the idea slowly but she was, she was lovely to Justin never ignored him. She was 5 months now and she couldn't hide it now everyone at school knew, there was the odd whisper and giggle but she blocked it out of her memory she didn't care honestly, I mean it's nothing she didn't expect and besides kids will be kids. She had her next appointment and they were asked if they wanted to know the sex of the baby they both agreed to wait. They were currently in Justin's house in the living area looking at baby names with his mother sitting across from them flipping through a magazine. "I like Michael for a boy" said Justin "Well I like Kai so its Kai if it's a boy" said Alex Justin just rolled his eyes "For a girl I'm thinking Alana" said Justin "Actually I like it its cute" she smiled she was about to kiss him but then she remembered his mum was sitting right there and she hated her.

2 AND A HALF MONTHS LATER

Justin's mother still wouldn't talk to her she didn't even talk about the baby or anything it was as if it was happening, I guess that was her weird way of copping. Justin's father was fine about everything he was buying everything…..literally crib toys unisex clothes everything he was supportive in every way. The baby was due next month and everyone was panicking. The living arrangements were that it would live in Alex's home and Justin would come every day but Carmen wouldn't allow him to stay over.

Alex was in English when she felt shots of pains in her back, she just assumed it was normal since she was 7 and a half months pregnant but boy was she wrong because two seconds later a huge puddle was underneath her. "OH MY GOD" she screamed "What's your deal" asked Zack "She's in labour moron" said Cody, Harper, Maya and Bailey ran over to her and the teacher went to get Justin and an ambulance this was it….
