Okay it's me again! So I have some time now and I am SO SORRY that it's literally nearly been a year since I have updated this story. I know so many of you wanted me to continue and I truly appreciate all the PM's you sent me telling me how much you wanted this story updated.

So as a little holiday gift, I'm giving you another chapter, lol. Hopefully I'll be able to write more.

Also I have not seen HSM 3, so don't look for any flashbacks to that; I basically made up what their senior year was probably like.

Time Flies, Ch. 11

One Day Before Winter Break…

"I still don't understand why we're getting homework over break," David said as he carefully placed his bag on the floor, making sure not to drop the object he was holding in his other hand.

"Be careful or you'll drop it," Larissa said to David as the two walked into her house. "I don't get it either," she said, watching his every move.

"I am being careful, stop worrying," he said, clearly annoyed.

"I just want you to be a good father, okay? We can't let anything happen to the baby," Larissa said.

Sharpay, who had just walked into the house stopped in her tracks and looked over at Larissa and David. "What did you just say about a baby?"

"Mom you should congratulate us," Larissa said. "David and I are parents!" She showed her mother the egg that had a little yellow bow tied around it.

She nodded, "Oh…right. Congratulations."

"We need to give 'it' a name," Larissa said as she and David walked upstairs to her room. "I like Autumn."

"I thought we named the baby Mikey, since it is after all, a boy."

"I don't like that name and it's a girl," Larissa said as she took the egg from David and placed it on a small blanket she had folded up.

"It's a boy."

"Is this how you're going to be when we really get married and have a baby? What if the baby is a girl?"

"Wait a minute," he said backing away, "Whoever said we were getting married? And since when are you having a baby?"

"I'm talking about the future, you know when we are adults," she said as she looked at their 'baby.'

"And I'm talking about right now and right now that baby is a boy. Mrs. Glass already told us in class that it was a boy," he said as he showed her their assignment. "See? Our baby is a boy. All we have to do is figure out a name and then we each have to take care of him."

Larissa looked at the paper, "Fine. But I am watching him tonight since you have basketball practice."

He shook his head, "No, I am watching him this evening. You have to watch Kayleigh, remember? You told me that this morning after we got the assignment."

"So? I can watch my sister and our child at the same time," she said incredulously.

"I'm not so sure about that," he said. Remember what happened when we were at my house and you were supposed to be helping me watch my sister?"

She rolled her eyes, "Oh please. It was just an accident. Besides, we found the hamster."

"All right, but just make sure to document when he eats and sleeps. And make sure you don't leave him alone with anyone," David said as he picked up his backpack. "I'll come over tomorrow morning before school and he had better be in once piece…literally."

Larissa looked at him as if he were crazy. "Everything will be just fine. Trust me."

"Yeah, that's what you said after you let the hamster out of his cage," he said as he walked to the door.

"Just…go to your practice, okay dad?"

"Whatever," he mumbled as he walked downstairs to the front door. "See you tomorrow."

Larissa frowned and looked down at the egg. "Don't worry, you'll be fine."

December 30th

Katie placed the last piece of clothing into her bag and zipped it up. "Finally," she said as she picked it up. She managed to get it downstairs before promptly dropping it on the floor very close to the door, causing the small table in the foyer to shake a little.

"Gee, I don't think you packed enough," Maddy said as she walked past her sister.

"Hey I'm going to be skiing and I need a lot of warm clothes. Plus there's actual snow where I'm going."

Maddy pouted, "Why can't I go too? I love snow."

"Because James and his family invited me to go. And I know you love snow," she said, recalling their trip to Colorado one year.

Jason chose that moment to walk into the house and nearly tripped over Katie's bag. "How many times…"

"Sorry dad," she said as she pulled the bag away from the door. "I'm just waiting until it's time to go to the airport."

Five Days Ago…

Katie walked over to her father who was reading a rather large document. "Dad," she said softly.

He looked up, "Hi there."

"Hi. Um…well I have to ask you something and please don't freak out and let me say everything before you say anything."

Looking rather confused at what his daughter just said, he nodded, "Okay…"

She cleared her throat, "Okay so James asked me if I could spend New Year's with him and his family." She watched as her dad nodded before continuing. "They're spending New Year's in Lake Tahoe."

Jason did put the document down. "Lake Tahoe?"

"Yes, but it's going to be his whole family, not just the two of us, so don't worry about…"

"Please don't place those pictures in my head," he said as he rested his chin on his hand. "Have you talked to your mom about this?"

"Yes and she said it was fine. Please can I go dad, please?"

"The whole family will be there?"

She nodded, "Yes. And we'll probably be skiing a lot anyways."

He thought for a moment before speaking. "As long as you call every single day…and yes I mean everyday," he said when he saw the annoyed look on her face, "And not sleeping in the same room as him…"

"I won't," she interjected.

"Then…yeah I guess you can go." He knew Katie was responsible, but he also knew she was growing up way too fast for him.

A huge smile came across her face, "Thank you, thank you, thank you!" She yelled as she placed her arms around him. "You're the best!"

Present Day

Katie smiled; that was probably one of the best days of her life.

"Hello, earth to Katie," Kelsi said, calling for her daughter's attention for the third time.

"Huh? Oh, sorry," she said as she snapped back into the present.

"It's time to go to the airport," Jason said as he managed to pick up the heavy bag and carried it to the car. As he placed it in the trunk, the car seemed to shake. "Jeez Katie, what did you put in here, bricks?"

She shrugged, "It's cold there and I don't have a lot of warm clothes so I had to pack a lot of sweaters and a heavy coat."

He nodded, "Right. Well, we should probably go," he said as he closed the trunk.

Katie smiled as she got into the car. This was going to be the best New Year's ever.

Well, it was a chapter, right? I wanted to kind of skip Christmas since the 'good stuff' if you will happens on New Year's, hehe. Anyway I'm literally writing two stories at once so I will TRY to update this one soon! I'll be away all of next weekend so I will attempt to put out another chapter tomorrow. Until then, happy holidays!!!!!!!!
