Christmas Day

Thanks for the follows,favs,reviews Huns :-) by the way *****Disclaimer-I own nothing**********

Continued from Chapter 13

Oh so you wanna bring up old shit huh? We actually was reminiscing about that we never told anyone but we broke up after that"

"Really?! I thought y'all never broke up"

Mercedes said surprised

"Yep we went through some mess just like y'all but look at us now"

"Ok we needs to hear this tell us what happened we want all the details"

"Yep tell us everything"

Sam agreed

"Ok well...

Chord cleared his throat ready to relive that time..the car fell quiet Chord pulled to the side parking the car and shutting off the engine

"Ummm..."

he attempted to speak only to stop never getting no more than a single word out before he would pause again Amber sighed and reached over rubbing a thumb over his knuckles, that was an difficult time for them both her and Chord both ended up in LA to spitefully tarnish their exes relationship only to realize that their exes had found solace in each other

They had no clue that their exes were now dating they knew that they both had moved on but finding each other was a surprise, Chord was so determined to see his ex in LA stating that he had some unfinished business with her, so Amber said what the hell her ex is in LA too might as well find him too when she saw Sam with Chord's ex her look alike she was taken aback and thrown off by how Sam was so protective of her and how much hate he had in his eyes for her and Chord she knew she did a number on him but damn didn't realize she hurt him that bad

She imagined that Chord was reminiscing having an flash back in his head she found herself doing it too, he finally begin telling the story staring blankly ahead, as if he was replaying the whole thing in his head as he told it

Sam and Mercedes both sat up a little straighter in the back seat listening closely,Amber did the same leaning in closer, it was like Chord was the author of a weirdly yet good romance novel and the others were the readers or audience anxious to see what happens with the couple in thee end

Flashback Tennessee after leaving LA

Knock Knock Knock

"Who's out there?"

"Chord amber are you still not talking to me? I'm sick of staying in the dorms with my weird friend can I come back to our apartment?"

Amber swung the door open staring up at him

"What do you want Chord?"

"To come home"

"After what you did no"

"After what I did?! you fucking!..."

She glanced out the door glancing at the neighbors walking their dog outside

"Lower your voice"

She told him softly

He sighed and lowered his voice almost to a whisper

"You fucking did it too, you wanted to fuck with Sam and I fuck with Mercedes,but now that it's over and done with you're pointing the finger at me?"

"I admit I was wrong, but you took it further and what's bothering me is that you're still very much in love with her"

"I'm not"

"Don't lie to me Chord"

Chord stood with an perplexed look on his face clearly baffled, he ran his tongue over the back of his teeth breathing deeply through his nose, he ran a hand threw his blond mane clearly trying to find the right words to speak

Amber eyes watered

"Our relationship meant something right?"

Chord winced at the past tensed she used

"Our relationship means something"

He finally found words correcting her past tense to the present

"Well what was really the unfinished business Chord? I assumed you wanted closure,as well as I but I guess your unfinished business was more than that, you went to LA in hopes of getting back with her huh? Thinking that you knew her, that you had her so wrapped around your finger that she would easily accept you back no matter the distance or who you're with right? What about me? I know that story all too well because Sam and I did it, Sam knew that whatever happened I would fall into his arms which was true until I met you and he met her"

Chord blew air out of his cheeks rubbing an hand through his locks once more

"I don't know, I love you"

Was the only words he could find

"And there's no denying that you love me, but do you really love me or do you love the fact that I remind you so much of her?"

Amber stared at him intently watching his mouth move but nothing came out

"Look Chord,I love you and I know you love me. But until you can get over her there's no way we could be happy"

"Do you Love him?"

Chord suddenly asked her

"Of course I do, he's my first everything, but the difference between you and I is I love him as my first my Ex that's all but you...you're still deeply in love with her,you can't have us both Chord it doesn't work like that.. yea I was jealous of how happy he was with her, but I had no right too be I hurt him bad, I picked with them in LA now I feel horrible about it that chapter I had with him is over I'm suppose to be starting a new Chapter with you

But you're making this really hard maybe we need some time apart we're both heartbreakers we broke our exes heart and jumped in a relationship before we fully broke it off with them I don't want us to break each other hearts, we can't just mess someone's relationship up then come back to Tennessee like nothing happened going back to the normal us that's not possible because now that's over our heads"

She took a deep breath and continued

"This isn't fun anymore maybe we should break up for now,you know like take a break"

"All right"

He found himself saying

"All right"

She repeated him

"Awesome"

He suddenly said he couldn't believe that he actually let those words Awesome and all right leave his mouth the look on her face was unbearable making him cringed she gaped

"Awesome?"

She questioned him with her head cocked she looked stunned like she had just been on the verge of being thrown into a pool full of electric eels

"I didn't mean it like that"

He assured her, but she clearly didn't believe him he surely didn't mean it, like he said he had no clue why he would say that just like he had no clue as to why she was the one pouring her heart out while he stood there clueless not knowing what to say

"Just leave Chord"

He didn't have the energy to argue nor try to plead with her so he turned on his heels making his way towards his F150 truck

"Chord?"

She called him lowly

He whipped around only to see her sobbing uncontrollably

"Did you ever love me or has it always been her? Was I just here to fill that void you had in your heart for her was everything with us a lie?"

"I love you Amber, it was never a lie I still love you"

He told her confidently

"But you still love her too right?"

"N-No"

He responded unsurely

She chuckled writhing she reached back throwing out a few boxes and bags that he was guessing some of his clothes and shoes amongst other items and slammed the door

He willed himself to pick up his things and toss them into his truck he quickly got into his truck and sped off having no clue where to go he drove for hrs certain that he could not survive another day at the dorms with his weird ass friend that really wasn't too much of a friend but study buddy, all of his jock friends were too much of male whores to crash with them, so the only other option he had was his parents

By night fall he was pulling up into the driveway of their huge country home,he made his way in with his key walking in on his mom standing in the kitchen in the process of sitting at the table to sip on a cup of tea

she quickly turned around at the sound of him entering the kitchen

and placed her cup of tea at the table running into his strong arms

"My baby! Hey Chordy!"

"Hey mom"

He chuckled at how happy his mom was to see him like she hadn't seen him in years when he just visited her a few days before

"What brings you here my love? At this time of night shouldn't you be cuddled up sleep with your girlfriend Amber?"

He pulled a chair out from the kitchen table and plopped down body slumping in defeat

He ran his hands through his hair something he did out of frustration and nervousness since a young boy

"I made a big mess"

"A mess how baby what did you do?" His mom asked him concerned

"What did my knuckle head little brother do?"

His older brother Nash came walking in getting a beer from the fridge cranking it open and sitting at the table

Chord smiled wide he was happy to see his brother had no clue he was in town he never associated with his siblings much anymore Nash was always on the road with his band and his sisters had their own life even the ones that were still home was never there sometimes he felt like an only child, and Nash..Well Nash and him were still close but yet so apart and different while Nash had the rocker look and style Chord had the all American pretty boy look when they were younger Nash constantly got teased about being the less attractive brother, but he never let it bother him he would laugh it off constantly, Nash was always strong and silly.. when he was teased he would tell them off and walk away with a smile Chord just knew that he was hiding his feelings expecting to walk in on him crying or sitting with his head hanging low but he never once did..he would be some where listening to music smiling or writing music

Chord wished he was as strong as him now..Nash was a famous rock star along with his band that had been created by him and his best friends as a little boy in Nashville Tennessee which was named Hot Chelle Rae. Chord always thought that it was an silly name and never bothered to ask where it originated from he even teased them when he was younger about it, even though he was only 3 years younger than them they treated him far more younger banning him from their rehearsals he even wondered why they didn't let him in the group seeing that he could sing and play the guitar learning at a young age, it might've been because he was so different from them

When his family suddenly had to move to Ohio for his dad's job him and Nash and his other siblings really separated Nash sorta became a loner mad at the world that he was moved away from his band, his sisters stayed back in Tennessee with his grandparents so he really didn't talk to them much his grandparents wasn't as close to them as they were with the girls so him and Nash didn't have a choice they had to move to Ohio even though they didn't want too

Nash was on his way to being a 12th grader and Chord Was on his way to being an 9th grader they literally moved to Ohio after his 8th grade graduation he walked across the stage straight out the door to his parents truck packed up with majority of their things and they hopped on the rode Nash didn't want any friends, but Chord did he just didn't know how to make them the Midwest was different than the South the small town they lived in Tennessee was different it was easy to make friends and everyone was friendly, Ohio people were rude, and it smelled weird they moved there while everyone was on summer break his mom tried to convinced him to go out and make friends everyday but he didn't out of fear, fear that he wouldn't be accepted he was popular in school while in Tennessee but Ohio was a different ball game and he was sure they wasn't as acceptive as the southerners not only was he a pretty boy with full lips but he also looked older than most teens his age, with his taller stature and muscular body but he also talked with a deeply southern twang that had the Midwesterns looking at him weird when he felt that his accent was normal compared to theirs they all talked Canadian to him and they were very nasally he knew because he became friends with two cousins who came to stay in Tennessee with their uncle one summer one was from Michigan and the other was from Ohio places that were almost identical to each other and their accents made him cringed with every word they spoke

The first friends he made were this Asian guy and his mohawked friend who ethnicity was a mysterious to him he noticed that they both stayed on the same block as him the Asian house was only a few houses down from his new home while the Mohawk one home was on the corner of the block

They were similar in built and stature as him and he could tell they had a lot in common from the way they constantly threw the football around or ran laps around the block working out..two of his hobbies, he was too nervous to approach them so he found himself watching them like a creep he figured they didn't notice him until Mohawk spotted him standing on the porch in the shadows watching them

"Hey you"

He called him in that nasally Midwestern accent he hated so much

"Huh?"

"You look like you want to throw the football around so come on"

"Yep come on dude we see you're new to the neighborhood come chop it up with us"

The Asian one agreed talking in the same accent

He nervously walked off of the porch towards them

"I'm Mike Chang and this is Noah Puckerman address him as Puck mostly or just Puckerman"

"Dude your mouth is huge"

Was the first thing Puck said to him

him and Chord both had a staring match until Puck spoke again

"How many tennis balls can you fit in there?"

"I don't know, I've never had any balls in my mouth...have you?"

From the snort he gained from Mike and the odd look he received from Puck he realized that wasn't the right thing to say and not only that, but it sounded all types of wrong, he cleared his throat willing himself to not put his foot in his mouth again

"I'm Chord Overstreet"

"Weird name and Dude your accent is very hillbilly-ish"

Said Mike humorously he was sure that hillbilly-ish was not a word, but Mike spoke it like you could find it in an dictionary he thought those two were very shrewd both pointing out the most obvious things that he were insecure about which made him not want to speak another word

Mike noticed the diffident look on his face and assured him that they were just joking,informing him that if he became their friend he would see how much of a jokester they both could be

Puck smiled nodding in agreement, he could see the sincerity behind their eyes he would've never guessed that they would become his best buds when they entered Mckinley..becoming popular wasn't hard for them, first week there they were already labeled as the most popular a few weeks in Finn joined the crew and him and Finn became the ring leaders that unsureness and southern accent was quickly gone now he was sporting that nasally Midwestern accent that he hated so much proudly, he learned how to hide his southern twang it slipped out from time to time but mostly stayed away

He remember first walking into the cafeteria witnessing Puck and Mike attempting to pick with her he couldn't help but chuckle at the fear etched on her face, call him crazy but he felt an connection from the moment he laid eyes on her never realizing that he would become not only her first everything her Lover but also her first heartbreak

"Earth too Chord!"

He blinked and looked into the amused faces of his mom and brother he drifted off thinking about her why was he thinking about her? That was the reason why he was in this predicament in the first place and Puck and Mike? Tina and Santana Man they probably hated him right now he knew how protective they was of Cedes he constantly disappointed them first he abandoned them when he went back to Tennessee now this?

He sighed and ran his fingers threw his hair once again tugging at the roots from the rate he was going at messing with his hair he would possibly have an bald spot by the end of the night

"Dude you spaced out on us you must really did some fuck shit"

Nash told him swearing like their mom wasn't even there

"Hey Nash watch your mouth"

"Sorry mom"

"Chord I'm really concerned what did you do for once?"

"Wait let me grab another beer for this"

Nash jokingly said he grabbed him another beer and sat back at the table

Chord rolled his jaded eyes

"Well when I went to LA"

Nash cut him off

"What did you do to Mercedes? And by the way it's unbelievable how you managed to date someone who looks just like her"

"How did you know..."

"Because I know Cedes is in LA and you did something to her, gosh I knew I should've swept Cedes off her feet you never deserved her"

Nash announced taking a swig of his beer, Nash was in love with Mercedes and constantly teased Chord about wishing he found her first Nash was a fan of dating outside his race he swore he would never date within his race and when he first noticed Mercedes on Chord arm he envied him, it was always friendly fun competition but, truth behind it

Chord sisters all walked in along with their dad

"Was I not invited to the reunion?"

Chord stared eyeing his family who he had not seen in a while besides his mom and dad

"Chord!"

They all said in unison hugging him one by one

"Hey guys"

"How's it going son what brings you here?"

Chords dad asked taking a seat at the table as well

"He was just telling us what he did to Cedes?"

"Cedes? Your ex wait you're with Amber now her freakishly look alike so why and how did you do something to her?"

Chords older sister Summer asked

Harmony, Skye and Charity all agreed with her question all standing there next to each other looking so much alike now his whole family would know how much of an asshole he is

"Wait no one cuts him off again I've been waiting to hear this I'm literally on my third beer"

Nash said grabbing another beer

"The question is not only what you did to Mercedes but what did you do to Amber as well?"

Chord's mother asked

He sighed and started telling them finally

"I went to LA along with Amber claiming I had unfinished business with Cedes..."

"And?"

Summer replied

"I had no clue where to find her I just knew that she was in LA so While in LA Amber and I run into our exes while out shopping, we found out that Mercedes was now dating Amber's ex Sam Evans I knew Sam briefly from Tennessee State we both joined the football team at the same time I did notice that every time I talked about Amber to others he seemed to become disgusted and angry if he was around he suddenly left Tennessee but I never thought anything of it until I went to LA, then it all made sense I was dating his ex when I found that out and realized how much we looked alike I teased Mercedes about it, then Amber teased him about dating Mercedes her look alike"

"Wait so you're all like each other's doppelgänger?"

Nash asked amused

Chord shrugged

"pretty much"

Nash chuckled

"Well shit you were doomed from the beginning then, a doppelgänger is said to be a double of a living person and sometimes portrayed as a harbinger of bad luck In some traditions, a doppelgänger seen by a person's relative or friend portends illness or danger while seeing one's own doppelgänger is said to be an omen of death"

Nash unnecessarily announced

"Now you're going too deep Nash don't make our poor little brother think his going to die or be doomed for life ,that was centuries ago in modern times it's often used in a more general sense to identify any person that physically or perhaps even behaviorally resembles another person, in so many words it's nothing more than a look alike and it's said that every one in the world has a twin wondering around somewhere you and Amber just so happens to be the exes of your look alikes"

Summer replied now Chord could see why she was the smart one Nash could make a suicidal person that's hanging on a thread jump off a bridge with his untactful attitude

"Anyways, I did some things that I'm not proud of"

Chord told them everything even the detail of going down on her in the bathroom attempting to give her oral sex

When he was done talking everyone stared at him with different judging looks on their faces Chord's dad had a look of you made your bed now lay in it, his mom had an look of disappointment, his sisters all had abject looks on their faces looking just as disappointed as their mom all shaking their heads like they wanted to say you're so stupid and Nash had a look of amusement

"I'm so upset with you dear"

His mom said

"I know mom"

"Can I speak to Chord alone?"

His mom asked and they all obliged

leaving out the kitchen

Chord's dad stood up and squeezed his wife's shoulder

"This is your area of expertise sweetie talk some sense into this boy with that he walked out pulling a hesitant Nash out with him

Chord's mother looked around to see if they were gone she reached over the table and grabbed Chord's hand

"Would you like a cup of tea sweetie?"

"No mom don't have too much of an appetite for anything"

"Hmmmm do you love Amber?"

"Of course"

"You love Mercedes too right? Not in a I would always love her as an ex sorta way, but like I'm very much in love with her and I want her back"

"Of course not it's a, I would always have love for my first everything sorta love"

"You're lying Chord"

"Mom..."

"Well what other logical reason would make you go mess with that girl like that? it's not over jealousy I don't believe that.. it was over Love, Chord that wasn't smart at all what about Amber? Poor Amber let's say Mercedes would have broken up with her boyfriend right on the spot for you what would you have did with Amber huh? you were happy with Amber you guys were doing good then this happens? How did you even know Mercedes was in LA and dating again?"

"I have my sources"

"Sources? What Facebook? You stalked her and saw how happy she were you probably read her status updates that were always happy you obviously didn't look at her pictures because if you did you would've known who she was dating, you couldn't handle how happy she was you wanted her to be miserable without you, you wanted that hold on her, you were fine with Amber until you found out Mercedes wasn't stressing over you anymore, you couldn't take it so you found her in LA to put a end to her happiness am I right?"

"I didn't think about it like that I didn't think nothing out before I went"

"You did have a plan you just didn't fully have one your plan was exactly what I just said to end her happiness what you didn't fully plan out is what you would do with Amber if Mercedes took you back..Gosh you have always been selfish when it comes to that girl Chord you need to let her go then you date someone who looks just like her"

"I know mom I was a fool"

"You got that right a fool, now you have possibly messed her relationship up, are you satisfied?"

"Absolutely not"

"You need to apologize to Mercedes and her boyfriend the best way you can and make things right with Amber"

"I apologized already and Amber broke up with me"

"Can you blame her? apologize again and if they can't forgive you Pray and put it in God's hands, get over Mercedes who is your past and make it right with your future Amber"

"Amber had her foot in this too the blames not just on me she willingly allowed me to mess with them"

"No one can make you do anything you did it because you wanted to Chord you're right she allowed you but she didn't make you that's a difference and even if she did her dirt too I guarantee she didn't have the same intentions as you, she probably just wanted to pick with her Ex but not break him up from his girl starting tomorrow I want you to fight for that girl you hear me?"

"Yes mom"

"and leave Mercedes alone I love her like a daughter but she's not in our life anymore Amber is my new daughter in-law and I refuse to let you break her more than you already have"

After his mom talked some sense in him she got ready for bed it was 3 in the morning and he couldn't sleep so made his way outside to the back porch only to find Nash sitting out there staring at the stars the breeze was pleasant, the smell was of sweet freshly cut grass and the night life creatures sounds relaxed him,

"Hey little brother mom talked some sense in you?"

Chord took a seat next to him

"A lot of sense"

"Hmmm I missed this I don't see that much of it since I'm always on the road but when I have the free time to come home I take an advantage of it"

"I love it, this would always be home even if we spent a good chunk of our life in Ohio there's nothing like the south"

"Damn right"

"So how's rock star life?"

"It's cool stressful to say the least but cool, how's Puck, Mike and Finn?"

"I kind of neglected them when I came back home and this drama with Mercedes and her dude which took my place in the crew..man they're probably ready to kick my ass right now and Finn? Finn is M.I.A no one has heard from him"

"Man I guess you're on everyone's shit list huh? You guys were inseparable in high school you,Puck,Mike,Finn,Santana,Tina and Mercedes were always together never seen you all apart,but people change"

"What are you jerks up too?"

Summer came out too plopping down next to them

"Just talking sis"

"Hmmm let's take a walk"

Chord smiled he missed that him,Nash and Summer being the oldest always got together late nights like that reminiscing and walking the neighborhood that was one thing he would always love about the southern living. in the city you couldn't do things like that walk around safely late at night in your neighborhood without possibly being in danger, in their little country town they felt safe walking around no one messed with them and everyone looked out for each other rather they knew you or not in Ohio it was every man for himself

They all stood up and started walking their trail they did as young children

"So you just said fuck Amber huh?"

Summer wasted no time bringing that up again Chord rolled his eyes he already knew that was coming

"No it wasn't that..I Love Amber"

"Well you sure got a way of showing it"

"I miss Mercedes, but Amber is my sister now and you need to make it right with her"

"I know and I will"

"You better hope you could get it right little brother"

Nash said joining in on the conversation

They all walked and talked for about 2 hrs by the time they made it home it was 5 in the morning the sun was on it's way to rising..Chord showered and got into bed he pulled his phone out and dialed Amber he was surprised she answered

"Hello"

He could hear the distress in her voice

"Baby I'm sorry please take me back we can get through this ok"

"Chord I can't take you back knowing you still love her"

"Amber you know I Love her,but not in that way I love her the same way you know Sam"

"No you don't Chord you're in love with her"

"Amber..."

"Bye Chord"

When she hung up he sat there still holding the phone to his face he tossed his phone to the side and laid back staring at the ceiling in his old room, he fucked up bad and didn't know where to start to fix it he had Mercedes and Sam to make things right with then Amber it was too much but him and Amber couldn't blame no one but themselves sure Amber was upset at him, he did the most dirt but Amber played her part too rather she wanted to admit it or not

Xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Meanwhile Amber had been tossing and turning in bed since she laid her head to rest but she couldn't rest especially not with the warmth of Chord in bed with her when his face popped up on her screen she was ecstatic but yet still hurt

Hello"

"Baby I'm sorry please take me back we can get through this ok"

"Chord I can't take you back knowing you still love her"

"Amber you know I Love her,but not in that way I love her the same way you Love Sam"

"No you don't Chord you're in love with her"

"Amber..."

"Bye Chord"

It broke her heart to hang up from him but she wanted to give him his space to sort out his feelings she would take him back in a heartbeat but not now not when everything was fucked up

She called her mom, her mom answered on the first ring

"Amber what's wrong?"

Amber couldn't help but sob when her mom answered the phone

"Mom I feel so stupid"

"How baby what happened it's 5:30 in the morning you're scaring me"

"Chord and I broke up, and I think I possibly messed up Sam's relationship"

"Ok now I'm up Sam your Ex? I don't understand"

"Chord and I went to LA mom we ran to into our exes they're dating now we picked with them Chord took it farther now him and I are not together because I think he's still in love with her.. it was a big scene mom and I feel so bad about"

"Woah Amber I raised you better than that"

"I know mom I don't know what I was thinking"

"You weren't thinking at all you and Chord can't just go around meddling in someone's relationship I don't feel sorry for you"

"Mom..."

"Amber you called me so I'm going to tell it like it is and you broke up with Chord because you think he's in love with his ex? well that is his ex"

"Keyword mom Ex"

"And you're telling me you don't still love Sam?"

"No well not in that way"

"Bullshit Amber you can't put all the blame on Chord he went farther but you're no different than him you had to still have some feelings for Sam to even attempt to mess with him you're in denial you still have feelings for him your feelings might not be as strong as Chord's for his ex but,..."

"Mom..."

"Don't mom me Amber you think you're grown playing house living with Chord so act like it,you and Chord are kids...an mature adult wouldn't have pulled what you and Chord pulled, put your big girl panties on and grow up apologize to Sam and work it out with Chord end of discussion, I love you Amber Goodnight"

With that she hung up in Amber's face Amber stared at the phone in utter disbelief that's why her mom Tiny was so respected by her family she told it like it is

For the next couple weeks Chord did everything in his power to work it out gifts, showing up at her door making a fool out of himself no matter who was around, phone calls, text messages he slowly broke her wall down and she let him back in, they sat and spilled their feelings out to each other, came to an understanding and like that their relationship was back on never speaking of Sam and Mercedes again until Mercedes called Chord blaming him for everything, they had no clue that it had gotten so bad when Chord told Mercedes he would come to LA for her Amber convinced him to go she trusted him and Mercedes seemed like she needed someone when he came home ecstatic that Mercedes had finally forgive them they had sex like rabbits...

"Woah there too much information we get the point you guys made up and lived happily ever after besides the other little drama you had bravo moral of the story is Chord was still very much deeply in love with Cedes he got over her enough to work it out with Ambs bravo!"

Sam said sarcastically cutting into their story telling

Mercedes could tell that even though Chord and Sam were basically like brothers now a part of him was still angry about what happened even though it was so many years ago Mercedes quickly went to another subject to avoid any petty drama

"Ok Santana is probably having a bitch fit this was fun now let's get home I'm excited to see the others!"

Everyone faces lit up when they realized the others were waiting on them Chord made his way to Sam and Mercedes home the car was barely parked before Mercedes was stepping out hurriedly walking to the door to see her best friends, she saw Puck and Lauren often they stayed in San Diego not far from her and Sam but Tina and Mike were in Chicago now and she rarely saw them she couldn't wait to hug them especially her right hand Tina

Mercedes flung the door open yelling for Tina at the top of her lungs

"Tina!"

You could hear Tina coming from the kitchen

"Mercedes!"

When they saw each other they ran to each other hugging the best they can with their bellies Tina started sobbing into Mercedes shoulder

"Best friend! I missed you so fucking much!"

"I missed you too baby!"

They hugged and held on too each other for dear life

"Ok Tina that's enough I need some loving from my best friend too"

Mike said prying Tina's arms from around Mercedes

"Mike! I miss my brother so much!"

"I miss you too sis now come here and give me a hug"

Mike hugged her placing a kiss on her forehead before they knew it the whole crew were in the kitchen they all looked at each other then erupted into cheers and yells

"Ahhhh!"

They all embraced in a group hug

"The crew back like we left something!"

Puck yelled out and they all chuckled

"Ok ladies let's get started on this dinner already!"

Lauren announced and they all began to get comfortable taking off their shoes and jewelry

"Yea all you pregnant ladies get out of those uncomfortable shoes"

Sam said

They all smiled lovely at him making their way to the huge kitchen

"Off to the man cage fellas!"

Sam announced they all each laid a kiss on their wives cheeks and followed Sam he unlocked the door and dramatically opened it up

"Welcome to the new and improved man cage my guys"

"Hell yes!"

They all got excited as they entered the room it was most definitely new and improved the last time they all were there together it was no more than a game system flat screen tv and junk food

Now Sam had recliners, a even bigger tv an fridge full of beers, snacks, a bigger collection of video games for his play station and an bathroom added on, he even had arcade games

"Sweet!"

Mike yelled out plopping into an recliner and laying back

Sam grabbed a beer out the fridge for each one of them passing them around the room

"Awww feels good to relax"

Hunter announced opening up his beer and taking a swig

"Yea bro what made you want to be an cardiologist?"

Chord asked him

"I ask myself that same question everyday It's stressful but cool my patients love me, speaking of careers I'm sitting in a room full of football stars I know the groupies could be a handful"

Said Hunter to all the guys

"Yep, but it was worst starting out as rookies"

Sam replied

"What's y'all wildest groupie story first rookie game away? and don't lie and say you don't have one I bet we all even you Hunt being the successful doctor you are"

Puck said taking another chug of beer

Mike chuckled

"Me first I guess, Well my first rookie game away.. after the game all the guys were going out to party or going back to their rooms to bang a random girl, I had heard stories of groupies waiting in the guys hotel rooms for them after the game, breaking into them or what not, so I'm exhausted from the game and from the stress overall of being away from my friends and family then to top it off I get drafted for a team in a state I had never even been to, so to make a long story short I'm on the phone with Tina telling her that I can't wait to get back to Chicago to see her you know buttering her up I open the door of my room it's pitch black but I hear the shower going I'm thinking ok maybe I'm in the wrong room, Tina's all in my ear like what's going on?! what do you mean you're in the wrong room? I go back out the door like yep this is definitely the right room, Tina's like Mike what's going on?! I open the bathroom door bracing myself for an intruder or some shit, I walk in on a beautiful ass Brazilian chick pleasure the hell out of herself I'm like what in the world? Tina let me call you back baby, I hung up before she could even reply, the Brazilian is like (Mike started talking with her accent)

Chang I just had to break in your room I want you so bad come join me baby, man it took everything in me to not oblige all I could hear is Tina's voice and her face in my head, I'm like it's tempting but baby girl you gotta leave I literally had to threaten her ass to make her leave I didn't want no damn paparazzi catching her leaving my room either, I didn't care about the media all I kept thinking was ooh if Tina finds this out she's going to whoop both of our asses"

The guys chuckled then Hunter started telling his story next

"I'm not an football star but I still get groupies, when they see a young cardiologist it's like dollar signs flash in their eyes, but anyways this was when I first became really known I was packing up ready to leave for the night to go pick little Hunt up from his baby sitter this was before we hired a maid, so I feel a hand snake around me and grab on to my Penis I'm thinking it's Santana she had just became an nurse, we both were sexually frustrated working so much we couldn't have sex as much anymore, so I'm instantly aroused ready to ravage her ass right there in that room, I turned around and it was not Santana it was a young nurse that worked with her , I'm like what are you doing I'm married to nurse Clarington, she said I don't care and went in for a kiss, I could suddenly hear Santana's voice coming up the hallway I push the nurse away from me so fast I almost knocked her ass on her back, Santana walked in giving us both suspicious looks I played it off like the nurse was helping me with an patient..to this day Santana doesn't know about that"

Mike chuckled

"Santana would have tore that hospital up if she had caught you two"

"Tell me about it"

Hunter agreed

"Well I'm guessing Chord, Sam and I stories are similar to Mike's, I walked in on two groupies in my bed pleasuring each other asking me to join them, they were both Caucasian I can't even remember how I got them out all I know is Lauren was in town she would've killed us all"

Puck said with a chuckle

"Well mines were similar only difference is I had a fine ass Spanish girl and an fine ass African American girl they were pleasuring each other as well when I walked in, I left my room and wouldn't come back until they were gone I didn't even attempt to put them out I had security get rid of them"

"Look at your vain ass calling security"

Mike told Sam chuckling

"Well enough about groupies let get to the games who's ready to get their ass kick in NBA 2k?"

Chord asked and Sam was the first to jump up

Xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Meanwhile in the kitchen

"Guess what guys I have aprons for us all and look they're custom made!"

Mercedes excitedly said grabbing an apron passing one to each wife all with a silly saying plastered on the front the funniest one was Santana's "angry pregnant lady coming move your asses out of the way"

Mercedes thought that was hilarious seeing that Santana would say something like that, the next funniest one was Tina's "pregnant chef expect tons of food"

They giggled as they read each apron aloud

"Oooh look at you miss high class these are cute!"

Tina said tying her apron around her belly

They all easily fell into a routine preparing the dinner and moving around the kitchen smoothly Santana had already started a good portion of the meal so they each started working on different dishes that wasn't started yet and starting a easy conversation as they did it"

"Mommy can we help?!"

Ayden, Kayden and Hunter Jr all came in Mercedes even purchased aprons for them as well, all had characters on the front of them Kayden's had hello kitty, Ayden's captain America and Hunt Jr's Spider man

"Sure babies you can do the desserts, you can start with brownies and chocolate chip cookies Ayden you know what to do show Kay Kay and Hunt"

Mercedes handed them all their aprons to put on

"What do you say Hunt baby?"

Santana told her son

He smiled wide

"Thanks auntie!"

"You welcome handsome"

"Thanks mommy even though I'm getting too old for characters"

"Boy bye! But you welcome sweetie!"

Mercedes told her son with a chuckle he thought he was so grown

"Cute auntie, I love hello kitty!"

Kayden said to Mercedes twirling around in her apron

"Girl if I see one more hello kitty I'm going to start having nightmares her room is hello kitty, her bathroom is hello kitty she even has her own hello kitty microwave and toaster oven and trust me hello kitty is not cheap and her dad just keeps buying and buying her things every time he's out"

Amber told her

"Trust me girl I know when my princess get here I'm sure Sam and I are going to fill her room up with beautiful decor and Santana you're going to give me pointers on decorations I'm going to start after the new year"

"Sure I'll give you pointers while I'm here, I already have my prince room did so he's set when he gets here I was hoping for a girl but since I'm having another boy I had to think of a nice theme and I love the theme I went with"

"What did you go with sis?"

Tina asked her as she prepared a salad

"Well I always loved this theme I think it's unisex it could be used for a girl or boy but I know you guys have seen the baby monkey decor"

"Omg the decor with the cute little monkeys and the color theme is like brown, lime green and baby blue? with polka dots I love it!"

Lauren said excitedly

"Yes that's it!"

Santana replied

"I know what you're talking about I love that theme!"

Mercedes responded

"Now since you guys know what I'm talking about none of you b words better steal my idea, preferably Tina and Lauren since you both are having boys, but Cedes since you're having a girl maybe you could do the theme they have it in pink for girls"

"Hmmm that would be cute"

"Well my princess theme is care bear"

Said Amber

"That's cute, Mercedes you're lucky you have your boy and girl,for Amber second pregnancy she's having another girl and for Santana's second pregnancy she's having another boy it's a blessing to have both genders well a baby is a blessing anyway but being blessed to have both genders is a plus some women only has one gender"

Tina announced

"You're so right Tina , Hunter probably only make boys and Chord only girls that's why you see some women who's walking around with 10 girls or 10 boys they probably kept trying and trying until they give up"

Lauren agreed with Tina

"Well hell I'll get my tubes tied and fried before I let Hunter knock me up 10 times trying for a girl we will adopt before that happens"

"I know that's right girl"

Amber agreed with Santana giving her a high five

"Shit!"

Oooh Hunt that's a bad word don't say that"

Kayden said chiding him it was hard to take her serious with chocolate all on her face as she ate while mixing the ingredients for the brownies and cookies up

"Hunt I told you about that"

Ayden said to him like he was speaking to a child of his own

"Hunt say one more bad word and I'm sending you to your dad"

Santana said with authority

"Sorry mommy"

Mercedes chuckled

"Well he got it honestly a spanish mom and a half Italian half Caucasian dad he was destined to have a potty mouth"

"I might have a potty mouth but one thing Hunt and I don't do is swear around our child"

Santana responded

"That's how it should be"

Replied Lauren

"What I don't understand is if Hunter and Emma's family were Italian why was she such a racist?"

Tina wondered

"Bipolar enough said"

Mercedes replied

"Hmmm so Tan how is it having her as a sister in-law and she's residing in New York as well right?"

Amber asked her as she placed the macaroni and cheese in the oven to bake

"It's cool she has changed but I still have my guard up a little it's still a little hard to get over all the spiteful things she did back then Hunter Jr loves her though she spoils the heck out of him I'm still not comfortable with her taking him places or him spending nights with her just yet but his dad and I constantly take him to see her and let her come over to spend time with him as much as she wants that is his auntie can't deny her that"

"That's totally understandable"

Replied Mercedes

"I wonder what the guys are doing?"

Santana suddenly said

"Hmmm let me guess probably started off talking about you know what or telling groupie stories and drinking beer to playing a competitive game of football or basketball"

Tina said with a giggle

"Girl we know them so well we all were probably thinking that I'm going to go check on them to see what they're up too I deserve a break seeing that I did most of the cooking you heffas"

Said Santana sarcastically

"Mommy can I go see daddy?!"

Hunter jr asked her

"Not now baby,and you babies hurry up making those desserts too busy eating the cookie dough and chocolate that's enough before you're all too full to eat"

"Ok Auntie"

Kayden and Ayden said in unison

Santana smiled making her way to the guys, she enjoyed being an aunt just as much as she enjoyed being a mother

Xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Meanwhile back in the man cage

"You're cheating Chord!"

"Sam how am I cheating you're mad because I'm beating you man up it's just a game!"

Suddenly Sam smacked the controller out of Chord's hands

"Man up my ass!"

Chord and Sam both jumped up at the same time stepping in each other faces

Hunter stood up pushing Sam back

"Sam what is wrong with you?!"

"Move out of my way Hunter he's always acting like a little bitch!"

Sam spat pointing over Hunter's shoulder

"Hey!"

Hunter looked back at Puck sitting there drinking a beer not even fazed by the commotion

"It's all you Hunt Mike and I have dealt with this Chord,Sam,Mercedes and Amber mess for years you joined the crew after the drama settled down now you see what we use to deal with they could kick each other asses for all I care I would not let them mess my holiday up"

A tipsy Mike stood up pushing Chord back

"Sam! Sit your ass down"

Puck stood up pulling Mike back

"No you sit your drunk behind down that is not Sam you ass, all these years now you get them mixed up move before Chord or Sam turn in to hulk and mangle you"

"I thought this was Sam,wait a min now I'm confused oh well"

Mike plopped back down sipping on his half beer

"Dude how many beers have you had how the hell you get them mixed up wait a min have you had them mixed up the whole time we've been here?"

Puck asked him

"Shit I don't know I'm drunk"

Mike told him with a shrug

"You fucking idiot"

They left poor Hunt standing in the middle of two solid guys trying his best to hold them back,Sam was the one doing most of the talking Chord just shield himself Hunt could tell from the way Chord kept clenching and unclenching his fist that it was taking everything in him to restrain himself

Puck shook his head as he watched them poor Chord was just as much of a loose cannon as Sam but as much as Sam tried him he always held it together Puck knew it was because of Amber and Mercedes he would come out as the bad person if he did anything to Sam and not only that but he made one little mistake of getting in between Mercedes and Sam back then and to that day he was still trying to overcome it suppressing his anger was something Chord never did until Sam, Puck was Chord's best friend before Sam's and he watched him mangle a few so called tough guys on and off the football field Sam didn't know who he was messing with..Sam was a tough guy but Puck felt that Chord could probably give him a run for his money

They were pushing Hunter around like a rag doll Puck took in the doleful look on Chord's face and stood up laying his beer down he grabbed Sam's shirt pulling him back

"Get off of me Puck!"

"Mike shake that wasted mess off get your shit together and help me!"

Mike stood up shaking the slogged

feeling off and grabbed Chord

"Watch out Hunt I got this, Sam I mean Chord stand down!"

"How I'm suppose to stand down when this bitch keep coming at me!"

"Hey, Hey no need for name calling!"

Hunter said to Chord as he helped Puck hold Sam back

"Get off of me Mike I tried to keep my cool but I'm sick of this let me go so I could whoop his ass!"

Santana walked down the hall on the way to the guys hang out she heard commotion the closer she got to the room she chuckled at how competitive their men could be when it came to sport games when she twisted the knob she wasn't expecting to walk in on chaos

Sam pushed over Mike's shoulder knocking Chord into the door as Santana tried to come in, the door closed on her arm she screamed in anguish and all hell broke loose Hunter saw red he lunged at Sam swinging at his face

"Watch my fucking wife!"

Sam blocked his hit

"I'm sorry it was a mistake but don't make me whoop your ass too Hunter!"

"I'm not Chord don't test me Sam that height and muscles don't scare me I would fuck you up!"

"Hold up, Puck move!

Sam pushed Puck outta his way with all his strength he stepped in Hunter's face talking through gritted teeth

"I don't like threats Hunt so if you're going to do something do it!"

Hunter swung at Sam hitting him in the face a stunned Sam pushed him down on a recliner punching him repeatedly

"Get off of him! Get the fuck off of my husband!"

Santana yelled reaching for Hunter

"Stay back Santana!"

Mike yelled pushing her back and shielding her

Puck pulled Sam off of Hunter grabbing him around the neck in a choking position

"The fuck wrong with you huh?! you're calling Chord a bitch no you're the one acting like a bitch Sam you started this mess! everything was going good until you started acting like a ass to Chord! Is this about Mercedes huh?! Or Amber?! You go around acting like y'all cool, brothers! Calling each other twins and you pull this! I'm tired of this shit! I came here to enjoy my holiday with my best friends my family and our kids but I would pack me and my wife shit before I put up with this! The same shit we've been going through since teenagers we're pushing 30, 28 years old you and Chord grow the fuck up!"

"Get off of me Puck!"

"Don't blame me that's all him I've been keeping my cool this whole time while he act like a damn sissy!"

Chord said trying to get at Sam

Mike shield Santana with one arm while he held Chord back with the other

"Chord calm down! Santana get outta here sis before you stress the baby, y'all stop this shit right now!"

"Come on Tan we're leaving!"

Hunter said pulling Santana out of the room

Santana eyes became watery

"But baby..."

"But baby nothing we're leaving pack Hunt up we're grabbing our shit and we're leaving I would rather spend our holiday in a hotel then deal with this!"

Hunter pulled a reluctant Santana down the hall

Mercedes and the others were just finishing up the preparation of the dinner she could hear Hunter's voice she knew something was wrong from the tone of his voice and the cursed words that left his mouth

"Hey babies go to Ayden's room quickly take all the snacks you want"

She told them to distract them

"Yay!"

They wasted no time grabbing snacks and running to Ayden's room

Hunt stormed in the kitchen he looked around to see where the kids were when he noticed they were gone he spoke

"Best friend I love you but we're leaving! Hunt!? Hunt?! Get your stuff were leaving now!"

"Hunter shut up before you scare the kids!"

Mercedes told him and he lowered his voice

"We're leaving"

She noticed the bruise on his flawless face she grabbed his face examining his bruise

"What happened to your face?!"

He snatched out of her hold pushing her hand away

"Ask your husband"

"What?"

"Mercedes I don't know what's going on but it's chaos in there!"

Santana sobbed holding her stomach

"Baby relax sit down"

Hunter sat her down and poured her a glass of water

"Let me guess it was Chord and Sam right?"

Amber said with watery eyes

Hunter and Santana said nothing

"I knew it"

She stormed out of the kitchen and Mercedes started storming right behind her she looked back at Hunter and Santana

"Please don't leave"

When her and Amber walked in on the chaos Puck was tussling with Sam and Mike was tussling with Chord, Puck shirt was ripped and Mike had a small scratch under his eye

"Stop it now!"

Mercedes screamed and they all stopped in their tracks

that gave Chord the perfect opportunity to get to Sam, Puck and Mike stepped in front of Sam like his body guards blocking him from getting to Sam

Chord chuckled distressed he stepped back throwing his hands up in defeat

"So you two protecting him now so that's y'all best friend huh? Y'all bro right?"

Chord said clearly wounded

"Don't be ridiculous Chord don't make this competitive too you're our best friend not only you but every adult in this damn house"

Puck replied

"I'm not talking about everyone else I'm talking about Sam and I, I was y'all bro first before Sam was even thought of I guess y'all got amnesia now huh? Un-loyal asses"

"Wait one fucking min!"

Puck said walking in Chord's face

"Unloyal really?! We was the most loyal too you we were always there for you and you left us! You went back to Tennessee and forgot about us! No calls no visits not shit! do you know how bad that fucking hurt! Then you come to California and start some shit with Sam and Mercedes you were the unloyal one!"

Puck started crying out of no where

Then Chord started sobbing

"I made a mistake one fucking mistake! I'm sorry ok! Sam started this but y'all getting on my case? you know what fuck all of y'all! I'm taking my daughter and I'm leaving! Amber you could stay if you want, but I'm out!"

He stormed out of the room Mercedes tried to chase after him

"Chord don't go!"

Sam grabbed her arm

"Let him go Cedes"

"Get off my me Sam I'm so disappointed in you I'm disappointed in all of you! Still haven't grew up I feel like we're still teenagers!"

Mercedes stormed out running into Tina, Lauren,Ayden and Kayden in the hall

"Mommy Auntie Tan was crying,uncle Hunt took her and Hunt jr up to the bedroom and why did I see uncle Chord storm off what's wrong?"

"Auntie where is my mom and what's wrong with my daddy?!"

Kayden and Ayden kept asking question that she couldn't quite answer Tina and Lauren took in the stressed look on her face and pulled Ayden and Kayden away

"Twins how about Auntie Lauren and I take you guys to sit around the Christmas tree we can drink hot chocolate and eat some of those good cookies you guys made and tell silly stories"

Her and Lauren pulled the children away Tina whispered to Mercedes

"Relax ok I got the twins take a breather sis"

Mercedes checked on the food and poured her a glass of water she sat at the kitchen table with her head hanging low she was so disappointed in the guys it was like they didn't care about no one at the moment but theirselves, forget their pregnant wives,their children and the fact that it was Christmas a day they should be enjoying with their children, friends and family not fighting each other she sometimes thought that maybe it was normal for weird mess to keep happening to them it's like she couldn't get away from it first meeting Sam, her ex long lost twin, then Chord's spiteful mess trying to break them up, then Sam's accident and her pregnancy, then the Emily/Emma mess, finding out Hunter is her brother, then getting arrested, it's like every time something was going steady for them something or someone messed it up

Xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Sam sat in the man cage alone feeling disappointed in himself him and Chord was cool, he was over it,well he thought he was over it, but where did the anger come from he was guessing it was from the story Chord told, all Sam got out of that story was that the reason why Amber and Chord separated was because he was still in love with Mercedes, he sat there wondering how he was going to apologize to every one else, mainly Chord

It was oddly quiet and he wondered where everyone could be, Mike and Puck went to spend time sitting by the tree with Tina,Lauren,Ayden and Kayden, he heard that Hunter,Santana were locked in the room with little Hunt, now where was Amber and Chord? Mercedes would be devastated if they left

He received a knock on the door

"Do you mind any company?"

It was Amber which he found odd seeing that him and Amber never talked unless it was amongst their friends someone on the outside would never guess that they had history together

"Sure"

Sam replied

Amber sat

"Are you ok?"

"I'm fine shouldn't you be checking on you're husband?"

"I did, he needs some time alone"

"I feel so stupid Ambs"

"Don't, you let your anger get the best of you, it happens to us all"

"But I thought I was ok with everything, Chord and I've been close since before Cedes and I married then this? where did this anger come from?"

"You had feelings that were concealed I guess, yea you and Chord are close, but there's something about him mentioning the feelings he had for Cedes that can take you there,you and Chord are better than this, we all are, we're here to celebrate the holiday, honestly this not just about us I mean we're surely here to celebrate as a family but this is mainly about the children and the excitement of Christmas not only are we celebrating the birth of Jesus Christ first and foremost but were celebrating each other,...Sam let me ask you this,do you think Chord is still in love with Cedes? Is that why you acted out?"

"Honestly I don't think Chord is still in Love with her of course he love her but not in that way, I think that it's maybe a pride thing you know?wanting everyone to know she's mind or something, I don't know it's just stupid"

"It's not stupid Chord gets like that with me too, Chord is my husband I know him well and what I know is he's not in love with Mercedes in that way and he loves the hell out of all of us even you, suck it up dude and go make up with your twin, you both are exactly the same that's why you bump heads, he's really hurt Sam I've never seen him like this, go apologize so we can eat our butts off,have a good time,exchange gifts and watch our beautiful kids open their gifts"

"Ok Ambs, your husband might kick my ass though"

He chuckled

"Trust me he's not by the way he's on the top patio"

Sam made his way out of the room he walked down the hall entering the kitchen where Mercedes was finishing up the food, she put a finger up stopping him from saying anything

"Go apologize to Chord now then I want you to apologize to Hunter, Santana the children and the rest of us do you understand me?"

Was all she said, she gave him a piece of her mind and he didn't blame her, he made his way to the top level and entered the patio Chord stood there staring down over the patio posture slightly slumped,Sam stood back for a min watching him, he noticed his shoulders would shake every once, Sam realized that Chord was crying

He walked up to him and placed a hand on his quivering shoulder, he looked up with red eyes

"Why I always gotta come out as the bad person huh? I didn't do anything wrong but somehow I was the one hurt,I'm a good..."

Chord put his head down and sobbed harder

"I'm a good person, but it's like everyone ignores that, ever since I did what I did to you and Cedes back then I've been dealing with it over and over again and you're the main one that can't let it go, now everyone looks at me like I'm this conniving ass guy when I made a mistake"

Sam sighed

"I'm sorry man,I-I don't know what came over me, I'm intimidated by you man I can admit that, no matter how hard I try I always feel like you're ahead of me, I look up to you man I never admitted it to no one but I do you're like that brother that I always try to compete with but never come out on top, I promise from the bottom of my heart this would never happen again, I mean we probably will bump heads from time to time, but this would never happen again if it does I give you the ok to whoop my ass"

He made Chord face him

"You're my twin dude, please accept my apologies"

Chord shook his head and chuckled wiping his eyes

"That was a bullshit apology but I accept,but I swear next time I would kick your ass"

Sam chuckled

"I know man now let's go in"

They both went back to freshen up and entered only to find that everyone had started without them, the table was set up everyone was seated at the table passing the dishes around talking amongst each other not acknowledging either one of them

"Omg Tan and Cedes do y'all remember when we had that sleep over at your house Cedes and we all were messing with your next door neighbor who was outside barbecuing at like 2 in the morning?"

Tina asked Santana and Cedes

"Omg yes! and we kept yelling obnoxious things out the window at him and throwing things at him?!"

Mercedes replied

"Yes we stayed up all night messing with that man, not knowing he was going to tell on us,we all woke up to some whippings by Mama Jones then she called Tina and I parents and they came by and spanked our behinds again, they shut our 2 day sleep over down we were crying holding on to each other for dear life we didn't want to separate!"

Santana added

"Man we were crying like we would never see each other again,but we stayed on the same block! Hahaha!"

Tina added

"That was so dumb of us hahaha"

"Why the crap did y'all do that? Y'all had to be super bored what was y'all saying?

Hunter said

"Man tell me about it,we were yelling some dumb stuff like "look at you! look at you! Throwing things out the window at him, calling him fatty"

Tina answered

"Can we say weirdos"

Replied Hunter and everyone chuckled

Sam and Chord both cleared their throats interrupting them

"Oh there go the trouble makers have a seat"

Puck sarcastically said

They both pulled the empty chairs out next to their wives "sorry everyone sorry kiddos" they said in unison

"Apology accepted"

Everyone said

Amber and Mercedes both got up to make their plates

"I want everything"

They both said simultaneously again

"That's creepy as hell"

Puck said staring at them both

"Puck the children"

Tina pinched him

"My bad,do y'all realize y'all saying everything at the same time?"

"No"

"There it go again, stop just stop"

"Is someone jealous they don't have a twin?"

Santana asked with a chuckle

"Whatever I'm a triplet,Hunter,Mike and I are triplets y'all didn't know?"

"Whatever boy"

"Aye bros that's right?"

"Yes"

They jokily said at the same time and everyone laughed

"Y'all are too silly"

"So Chord did Sam give you a good apologize?"

Asked Mike

"No but it'll do"

"Hey do y'all remember in high school when we all squeezed mustard on the railings of the stairwells and every time someone came down the stairs they would touch the railing and come down with a ton of mustard on their sleeve?"

"Yes I remember that, you,Chord Mike and Finn even had Tina,Santana and I doing stuff,that same day we poured baby oil on the floor everyone was busting their behinds, but all hell broke loose when principle Figgins fell flat on his back and bumped his head we thought someone was going to rat on us, the only ones that knew we were doing it was Quinn,Rachel and Artie and out of all three of them we just knew man hands Rachel would tell"

Mercedes replied

"Yep he came on the PA like when I find out whosever putting mustard on the railings and oil on the floors I'm kicking you out, I repeat you will be kicked out of all Ohio's public schools and if it's an twelfth grader you won't be attending, Prom,Graduation or any senior activities before then, I almost bussed my head! He was screaming into the microphone

Mike added

"Man I was so scared I was praying she didn't find us out then my blabber mouth told Brittney, y'all know how dimwitted Brit could be I literally had to threaten to kill her cat for her not to tell"

Santana chuckled

"Man y'all were a bad influence on us talking us in to doing so much stuff, but we were thick as thieves man"

Tina added

"Just imagine if we all went to high school together"

Said Hunter

"Man we would've got kicked out for sure, and I know we would've ran the school"

Said Sam

"Even though we went to school together,we all got stories to tell with the others,Puck,Sam and I done did some mess that probably could've got us arrested"

Mike said

"Hell Yes but what about all the recklessness we did with Hunter"

Sam added

"Dude remember when Chord came to visit and y'all all got me drunk, had me doing karaoke at that hole in the walk bar, then my drunk behind started stripping, when y'all brought me back to my apartment Santana was waiting on my doorstep she cursed us all out"

Replied Hunter

"Let's toast to good times and many more to come"

Chord lifted his beer and everyone clicked their drinks together

"What about all the fun us ladies had when we was together then when Lauren and Amber was able to hang we would have a blast"

Mercedes added

"It's kind of bittersweet you know, growing together but it's happening so fast and just think, we all won't be here together some day look how time flies it seems like just yesterday Santana,Tina and I were moving to LA starting a new journey together, I mean we were just 19 when we met Hunter and Emma now we're all going on 29 years old,Hunter would be 30 first but boy do time fly"

Tina suddenly said

"Man I always say we gone bite the bullet together haha! But I pray we have more and more years together, but on the bright side our kids would be here to keep our legacy going,ain't that right Den Den?"

Puck said to Ayden

"Yes uncle Puck, my cousins and I would keep it going, Kayden,Hunt jr,and I, and our other cousins who's on their way to enter this world would be just as close as you all no one and I mean no one would or could break our bond,you feel me Kay Kay?"

"I feel you Den Den"

Everyone chuckled

"There you go my little muchkins"

Puck said smiling proudly at them

"I love how you're all visiting memory lane and all but we're ready to open our gifts!"

Said Ayden

"Ok,ok mommy's baby you,Hunt and Kayden go freshen up and we'll meet you 3 in the family room shortly"

They all jumped up and Sam chuckled

"I love our mini me's man,were we like that when we were younger?"

"Nah I think they're smarter"

Lauren said with a chuckle

Xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

After the adults cleaned up they went to sit around the tree with the kids watching them tear open their gifts Ayden opened his first, Mercedes and Sam brought him everything they shouldn't have flat screen tv,Lap top,tablet,IPhone, a ton of clothes and shoes,game system,video games,Sam and Mercedes loved how he was so mature but turned into their little boy with he opened his gifts and his uncles and Aunties didn't make it no better adding to the expensive gifts

"Damn can y'all be my momma and daddy?"

Amber said with a laugh

Lil Hunter opened his gifts next he was 4 years younger than Kayden and Ayden so his gifts were a little more on the younger side, out of all the gifts he received he was more happy about the action figures"

Next Kayden opened her gifts she had about the same gifts as Ayden,maybe even more

"Can y'all be my momma and daddy, talking about Cedes and I"

Sam said to Chord and Amber

"Now it's time for the adults to open our gifts,first and foremost I want my day ones to open their gifts from me"

Mercedes handed Santana and Tina each a gift

They both tore their gifts open the first item they opened was a picture frame full of Memories of them 3 from little girls to now, each picture had a date and a small story next to it, about what happened that day, they both thanked her with tears in their eyes, the next items were random things their favorite snacks, Favorite name brand bag, makeup, accessories ect...

They handed Mercedes her gifts next she swore they spied on her because the gifts were similar

The adults passed their gifts around all excited about what they received,Hunter loved his gift like Mercedes promised, the Louboutin loafers she brought him matched his blazer she brought with it to the T

"Best friend you know me so well,I swear I was going to buy this same blazer and loafers after the new year"

"Well now you don't"

"Right!"

All the guys brought their wives their designer bags and jewelry

"Did you guys pick these gifts out together?"

Lauren asked them

"Maybe"

Hunter answered with a smile

She shook her head

"Go figure lovely gifts though"

"We thought about buying you guys a car but, you all already have your dream cars maybe next year when something new and hot comes out"

Sam replied

"Hey Hunter your sister's special on Oprah comes on in 30 right?"

Asked Mike

"Oooh yes we have to watch this,get the snacks ready fellas while us ladies relax and prepare for the show"

The guys didn't protest they went into the kitchen preparing the snacks

"Thanks for everything mommy I have the best mommy,daddy,uncles,and aunties in the world"

Ayden said laying his head on her stomach

She ran her fingers through his hair

"You welcome sweetie"

They all awed

"Thanks mommy"

Kayden said cuddling up to Amber

"Welcome baby"

"Thanks mamaíta"

Lil Hunter said to Santana kissing her stomach

"bienvenida a bebé de mamá

Santana replied

"Awww that's so cute he's learning his Spanish early,does Hunter knows Spanish? And by the way what did you say Tan?

Lauren asked her

"Of course his dad knows Spanish fluently look at his background he just never talks in it, no one knows he does though oh and I said you welcome mommy's baby in Spanish"

"Oh I love it how cute"

"He only talk in Spanish when he wants to butter his dad and I up, watch this? Baby what do you want?"

"Can I play video games with the twins?"

"If it's ok with the twins Ayden and Kayden were you going to play video games?"

"We weren't auntie but I guess we can while you all watch the tv special don't worry since Hunt is only six we will play super Mario or something"

"Thanks Ayden"

"You welcome Auntie"

"Come on Hunt help Kayden and I carry my new game system to my room"

Ayden and Kayden started gathering his system and games

"Hunter this is too heavy for you just help Kay carry the games ok?"

"Ok Den Den"

Tina smiled rubbing her stomach

"So handsome and mature you guys did a good job Cedes can't wait to my sweetie gets here,Santana you should be proud he takes good care of lil Hunt and Kayden Amber"

"I'm a very proud auntie"

Replied Santana

"I am too"

Amber agreed

"I love my handsome guy"

"And he loves his Tina Bina and Tee Tee Tan some times he thinks y'all his parents"

Mercedes chuckled

"We're back, where did the children go?"

Asked puck looking around the room as he entered with the guys holding the snacks and blankets

"To play video games baby"

Lauren answered him

"I should've known we need to get Kayden around some little girls she be around the boys too much don't want her to turn into a little tom boy"

Said Chord

"That would never happen babe,she's too girly like her mother she only get to see them when we visit and besides her little sister will be making her entrance into the world soon, she would have something to keep her occupied back home"

Replied Amber

"You're right"

"Shhh the show starts in 5 mins guys hush up"

Lauren said to them they all passed the snacks and blankets around and got comfortable powering the tv on

Oprah was just coming on as they finally was comfortable

Oprah-"Hello everyone!"

Audience-Hello!"

Oprah-how's everyone doing today?!"

Audience-Good!"

Oprah-great,today we have a special guess who has read the Demented Girl-Life and Mind of Emily Cruz?!

More than half of the audience raised their hands

Oprah-Very interesting book,New York Times Best Seller Let's welcome Emma Clarington!"

Emma walked out looking so beautifully she hugged Oprah and took a seat crossing her toned legs

Oprah-Hi Emma look at you,you're beautiful look at those legs do you work out?"

Emma-Thank you and yea I do"

Oprah- ok I just want to tell you I love your book"

Emma- Thank you,that means a lot coming from you"

Oprah-so what made you write this book?"

Emma-a lot of time on my hands to think and reflect"

Oprah-now the most interesting part was one of the last chapters about Josh your ex I'm going to read some of that a little later, that is what really caught my interest and made me want to read the book, I don't know if I'm the only person that does this, but when I read a book I start with the end first, then I read a little in the middle, then a few pages in the beginning before I go on to reading the rest of the book if the middle, beginning or end catches my interest then I know the book is good , reason why I have this method is because some books might start off terrible but as the story gradually goes on it gets better and better but on the other hand some books might start wonderful it grabs your attention quick, but as the story progresses you lose interest it start to go down in the middle of the book and it ends horribly which upsets you because the book started off so good"

Emma-that's a great method,I should try that"

Oprah-you should, trust me it works so you now reside in New York what made you move to New York?"

Emma-my brother honestly, when I was in the ward his first visit he told me that he will have my back from there on and he did he visit me every chance he got, even though he was busy going to school to be a doctor which I didn't know at the time, but when I got out I stayed in my own apartment briefly then he decided that he wanted to finish his career out in New York and his family and I packed up and went, my parents didn't want me to go, but I was grown so it was my choice, I wanted to be with my brother, I had a really hard time my first few months there I think I cried myself to sleep every night, but my brother and his wife were so supportive of me,they helped me, they even talked me in to publishing my book and I'm so grateful"

Oprah- speaking of brother look how handsome he is"

A pictured of Hunter with no shirt flashed across the screen the women in the audience were whistling and cat calling

Oprah- girl he is fine wow"

Emma-he's too young for you Oprah settle down"

Emma said jokily and the audience chuckled

Oprah- where was guys like that when I was his age?

Emma- he is an handsome guy I always tell him he should be a model right ladies?!"

Emma said to the audience and they screamed

Oprah-so back on the subject of the book how did you get the inspiration for it?"

Emma- well like I mentioned before a lot of time to do so, I had no clue I would be in there that long"

Oprah- don't mean to cut you off, but how long did you expect to be in there? Seeing all the things you did?"

Emma- well I did do some horrible things so of course I didn't think I would get out right away, but I honestly didn't know how long, months turned in to a year, a year turned into 2 years, next thing I know I was in there 4 years I went in at 19 as a child came out at 23 as a young adult, I did a lot of thinking in there and just started to write about my life and the things I had done, I pretty much new about the characters, but my brother is the characters best friend so he gave me little pointers on each one, but I pretty much had them down pack from the moment I met them"

Oprah-tell me about the characters, your brothers now wife started out as my favorite character, but as the book went on I grew to love each one of them,now you talked about your family and yourself briefly but omg I enjoyed the characters and how you portrayed them in the story, you first meeting them had me laughing for days, your brother wife had me sold the first thing she said to you, so before you give us insight on them tell me about first meeting Simon and the rest of the crew"

Everyone was clued to the tv Hunter smiled lovely as he watched it

"Hey y'all let's call out who is who every time she says a name this should be interesting"

Said Puck to the crew before he focused back on the tv

Emma-the first time I introduced myself to Simon was not the first time that I had noticed him, it took months to introduce myself to him and when I did, boy did I become obsess he reminded me so much of Josh, Simon is Caucasian beautiful athletic built, tall, green eyes, blond hair, all American pretty boy, just like Josh ,I wanted him and didn't care that he had a fiancé at the time or child at home which is by the way gorgeous, but I wanted him and from that day promised myself that I would get him, so at our job's picnic I decided to put my plan in motion, I watched Simon and Maria argue as they entered the park about their son, so I thought this should be easy,

"Sam and Mercedes"

Everyone called out

Emma- Simon introduced me to everyone I was pleasant with them all,but Maria I can admit I was pretty rude to her so after being introduce to everyone Samantha out of nowhere says I don't like you, so I say excuse me? She says it again and I'm like that's fine, I was appalled no one has ever been that rude to me, so I'm sitting there thinking this girl is crazy, so she's going on and on and Simon jumps up and pulls her away chewing her out their friend Kirk who was visiting from New York stared at me with dislike the whole time uninterested in anything I was saying filing his nails and everything, Kirk is in to man by the way and he's fabulous by the way"

"Kurt!"

The crew called out

Emma-so when she comes back her and Kirk are giving me snarky looks the whole time I knew right then and there that this girl would give me problems"

Oprah- Samantha is hilarious tell me about her?"

Emma- Samantha is Spanish, beautiful shiny black hair, slim nice body, just beautiful features, this whole crew is beautiful by the way, anyways Samantha is very Loyal her Loyalty goes over and beyond she's so loyal to her friends and love them so much that she would put her own safety in jeopardy to keep her friends safe and she loves hard, you mess with her friends and you will feel her wrath, but what you see is what you get with her she has no filter and tell it like it is, she says what everyone else is afraid to say I always tell my brother that she should tape a warning label on her forehead haha she would always be Samantha but she has changed tremendously for the better my brother and my nephew has made her a better person and I love it"

Emma-now Neal, Neal is, well I don't quite know what Neal's ethnicity is he's a mystery he's gorgeous buff, Tanned skin, nice Mohawk very mucho, but he could just about be any race Spanish, African American,Caucasian, Native American it's like playing the guessing game, like even his friends doesn't know his race and majority been around him for years"

"Puck!"

The crew called out

Emma- Neal is the jokester he's never serious unless he has to be, he would take a negative situation and bring light to it by telling a joke or saying something silly and inappropriate,and he's a ladies man well was before he found his true love..his love for his friends is amicable he love all of his friends hard and equally, he's strong and that shoulder to cry on when his friends need him"

Emma-then there's Mickey"

The crew yelled out Mike

Emma- Mickey is Asian,chiseled face, chiseled body, athletic like his friends just gorgeous, a jokester like Neal their like dumb and dumber together of course smarter but when they get together with each other or the others they could be ridiculous, but Mickey is more serious and more observant, he sometimes could be very quiet, but he don't play when it comes to his friends, but he always try to give someone the benefit of the doubt even me at one point, I call him the father because that's what he is in the crew to me, even though they're all the same age he's the father figure, he would go off on his friends if they're in the wrong and don't wait on an excuse, he would talk some sense into them in a heartbeat and have them like dang he's right, Mickey is who they never want to disappoint"

Mercedes smiled lovely at Mike because that was true Mike was like the father or big brother to the crew

Emma- then there's Tessa Mickey's beautiful Asian girlfriend"

The crew called out Tina

Emma-Tessa is very beguile or should I say deceiving, confusing I don't really know the correct term to describe her but Tessa seems like a sweetie pie, sometimes too sweet almost gullible, but boy Tessa is a force to be reckon with, you would think with Tessa its what you see is what you get with her like Samantha, but that's not the case at all, she's the ride or die b word of her crew, she's the one you think won't say much when it comes to messing with her friends or her which is true because she's watching you,then she would get you by yourself and asked you something calmly, wait can I swear is that possible?"

Oprah- go right ahead I'm loving these characters, you could swear all you want it might be blurted but go on"

The audience chuckled

Emma- ok well Tessa would calmly come up to you and get right to the point, "leave my friends alone or else" or "are you messing with my friends? Then you try to answer her all tough then she would go "mess with my friends again or I would..." and then you get brave with her thinking oh this is Tessa she wouldn't bust a grape so you're like or you would what? And she just jump at you like bit*h! Scaring the hell out of you or bit*h! Then knock your as* out and walk away calmly, she's sometimes more scary than Samantha, but on the other hand sweet as pie and Love the heck out of her friends, she's the one that would cry ugly tears with you or for you, she's the friend that would crawl in bed with you,hug you tight, cry with you and rock you to sleep"

Emma-then Simon

The crew yelled out Sam!"

Emma- now I explained Simon in the beginning but Simon is humble, he's not vain when it comes to his looks, he's pretty but boy does he has a temper, he could be scary sometimes with his anger but he means well mostly, he loves the heck out of his friends,Wife and Son he's very protecting over them almost too protective, he's one guy that you could never pressure into doing anything he's doesn't want too and he's skeptical of everyone, he tries to figure you out before he let you into his crew and family or life for that matter, his green eyes is captivating, his charm is alluring you can't help but fall in love with him as a friend or whatever the case might be he's like Prince Charming, him Neal and Mickey are like the 3 musketeers or should I say 5 musketeers including my brother and Simon's Twin Corey"

Oprah-now who is Corey?

Emma-Corey is a best friend of the crew and Simon's look alike they're resemblance is almost identical

Chord! they all called out

Emma-it's a few characters I didn't mention because I didn't know them until after I started my book but they would most definitely be in part 2 if I decide to do a part 2, there's Corey Simon's look alike, Ambee, Maria's look alike and Corey's now wife and Lacey Neal's now wife, Brand Kirks boyfriend, and by the way Kirk is one you do not want to mess with either"

"Chord,Lauren and Amber, Kurt and Blaine"

The crew called out

Emma-then there's Maria Simon's now wife, I treated Maria so poorly, so grateful that she's a forgiving person Maria..

Mercedes! the crew called out

Emma- Maria in the story is very mature beyond her years, she loves harder than anyone even if you have hurt her it might take a while to gain her love and trust again but she's very Loyal she's always willing to give someone a chance, Simon always tell her she's too gullible, she's loves Simon so much and would do anything for him, her, Tessa and Samantha has been best friends for years their bond is the strongest I have ever seen in a group of women, she's not catty and support all of her friends, she is her friends, their now children and now husband biggest fan and supporter and is not ashamed to tell you that, she doesn't play either, she's very gravitating, her friends gravitate towards her and would go to hell and back for her and Simon she's like the baby of the crew no one messes with their Maria or there will be hell to pay Maria is beautiful African American smooth mocha skin,beautiful thick hair, big brown doe eyes, full lips, she's just the cutest and her body is curvaceous it took me to change to appreciate her aura and beauty now I see why everyone loves her by the way Maria dated Corey in the past, and Simon dated Ambee, also Neal once dated Samantha in the past (she giggled)

Oprah- I don't get this generation always dating throughout the crew we didn't do that back in my time

Emma-haha, then there's my lovely brother Henry, my brother is handsome, very optimistic, he has the coolest personality and can easily get alone with others Maria was his first best friend in LA and their bond is almost as strong as flesh and blood, I realized the love Maria had for him when she cried her soul out for him she's very protective over him and he is to her and all of his friends, his style is something out of the books, he's very charismatic and his swagger is marvelous, he pride himself on his style,looks,Christianity and knowledge and wealth, but yet he's one of the most humble people you could ever meet, he's very family oriented and doesn't have a hateful nor jealous bone in his body even if he tells you he hate you out of anger he really don't, he's always tested because of his looks and nature but he's not one to mess with he's very passionate about things and loyal and one thing he hates the most is unloyalty that's one way to lose his loyalty this crew is the most gorgeous most loyal, intellectual people I have ever met, they're like a family, I dreaded for a family bond like that I got it with my brother and even his wife and friends is coming around

Hunter! The crew called out

Emma- so there you have it that's basically every character in a nut shell"

Oprah- I love each and every character for different reason's so this book is mostly non-fiction for the most part so every scene and spiteful thing you did and event that took place is true? I mean like explaining your family and your ex tragedy is very graphic and it's fully true?"

Emma- yes everything is true,I don't think it's any fiction if so it's maybe a small portion like a few sentences here and there

Oprah- and I'm going to get to that,so you're 28 right? and everyone is 28 going on 29? But you're writing from you all 19 year old point of view?

Emma- yes reason being is we were 19 when everything took place,but when I talk about Josh towards the end I'm 23 fresh out the ward"

Oprah-I want to read out loud a small chapter about Josh which was very interesting, but first give us a little insight on Josh for the audience members who hasn't read the book yet"

Jacob!

The crew yelled out

Emma- well Josh is my ex my first everything Josh reminds me of Simon and his guys so much, Josh is beautiful, smart,all around athlete, Josh loved me so much and treated me like a princess that's why I was so attached and didn't want to let him go,I never seen Josh mad or down he was always this happy guy always saw the good in people, a thrill seeker he always told me life was too short to not take chances, he developed that thrill seeking attitude right after his dad passed on that was the only time I saw him down, Josh always wanted better for me and himself, he told me if he ever left me it would be so we could better ourselves but our bond and love is so strong that we would always find each other, but sadly I didn't see it that way breaking up was forever to me no matter how strong our bond was"

Oprah-in the story you give us the tragic accident of Josh but you leave us in the dark we never know if he's dead or alive after that, it's kind of a plot twist in the story, as we're reading about you and Josh the audience kind of have an idea of where it's going but not too sure until the end of that chapter I'm going to read some of this chapter we're all grown here, but here we go

Oprah-When I stepped in the cool crisp air 4 years later I felt like an new person, I was happy to see my brother and his wife holding a beautiful baby boy,and my brother parents smiling so beautifully at me, this baby boy resembled my handsome brother to the t his beautiful hazel eyes, his unerring face, his smile, sporting his mom's beautiful shiny hair, I was happy for them, and they were for me, the way my brother hugged and held on to me let me know that I was missed, he told me how he was on his way to being a doctor I was proud of him I always knew that my handsome guy would be something, That shows that I was so caught up in my own unrealistic world that I never knew what career path my brother was taken.

"I took my attention off my brother and his family and stared at my parents oh how I missed them, they took me in after I loss my biological family and treated me with thee upmost respect and love even when I took them through it they never gave up on me, I was their daughter and they were my parents, but boy did I miss my biological family, I looked lovely at my brother's family I was really was happy for them and I couldn't wait to experience being an auntie, 4 years ago I would've hated Santana for getting my brothers love and would've did everything in my power to mess it up, but that person was gone that was Emily, Emily was left back in the Psych, would probably be there for the rest of her miserable life, this was Emma standing here new and improved

"Sweetie look what your dad,your brother and wife and his parents and I brought you for your coming home gift and also a gift to make up for all the bdays you had to spend in there,my mother said to me, it was a new white Range Rover I always wanted one of those I screamed and ran to it like a kid who had just been giving a shiny toy for their bday, I love it! get in check it out! My brother said, I jumped in the driver's seat with tears in my eyes bouncing up and down in the seat

"I love it, I love it,I love it! I kept chanting over an over again

as I was playing with the features I heard him, Emma so happy to see you're better he said, I stopped I couldn't believe my ears so I ignored it Emma? he said it again no this can't be real I whispered to myself I turned my head to the left and it was Josh my Josh I squinted as I looked at him wondering if I was really seeing him, his beauty was breath taken, he looked the same but instead of having that boyish look he was a man now, I swore I killed him, after I caused his accident I saw him on his death bed how did he come out of it, last time I heard his mom pulled the plug on him and had a memorial did she lie? Why would she lie?

I wanted to jump out into his arms but he shushed me and smiled he said let's go to our hometown Emma let's go back to Texas while we have time, time? Time for what? I asked him, but he said nothing, did my family plan this?, how can this young man who life I tried to take forgive me how can he be standing here right now? I looked at everyone and they all stood back staring at me with happy expressions, I sobbed so hard I said thank you, thank you for everything, thank you for standing here when I walked out of those doors,just thank you

They told me I deserved it, ready for our road trip? Josh said, our little secret you don't have to tell anyone just us, just tell them you need time alone to go to Texas to revisit but don't tell them you're going with me, I thought that was odd, but I did just that they stared at me weird but didn't try to stop me, I told them I promised to be careful and would be back safe and sound in a few days

"Emma text me every stop you make understand? My concerned brother told me "ok twin!" I answered him back ,what about clothes and things? I asked Josh, we will worry about that when we get to Texas he told me, my dad handed me a credit card he told me I had no limit and they would have my other surprise ready when I get home, I couldn't wait he gave me the card info

I started my sweet ride up, checked my mirrors as Josh climbed in my passenger side he smiled at me I smiled back, then I slowly pulled off I could see everyone in my rearview waving at me, Josh and I talked and listened to silly music on the way there, I noticed how he never mentioned anything about himself he just wanted to know about me, the ride with Josh alone was fun, stopping at rest stops, buying souvenirs, freshening up in small bathrooms was surprisingly exciting

When we made it to Texas angst overcame me, nothing good came outta Texas when I was there I loss my whole family there thanks to my wrong doing and I almost loss Josh the last memory I had of him was, him laying in a hospital bed holding on by a thread the situation was tricky to say the least, I was afraid to look at Josh but when he touched my hand I felt a sense of calmness

I stared my fears right in the face I visited my first childhood home which was still standing I noticed a young boy and girl playing in the front yard that reminded me so much of Henry and myself, I even visited where it all changed the neighborhood of the home I loss my family in from my wrong doing once again, Josh and I visited the park we ran around like little kids, we even visited the swings I noticed I would get odd looks but I paid it no mind Josh was all I was seeing at the moment my sexy man

We swung back and forth on the swings next to each other staring in each other eyes

"Let's go shopping for you a new wardrobe, Josh said"

"Ok I answered with no hesitation,we visited the mall and shopped up a storm Josh laughed at how I modeled everything for him striding like I was on the catwalk, Josh brought two outfits the same reciprocal of what he was already wearing, a white vneck shirt hanging to his muscles and gray nike jogging pants to match his nike AirMax gym shoes that was weird to me I even teased him about it, asking him why would he do such a thing?, I noticed that was the same thing he wore when I last saw him in the hospital he told me it was a reason why he did it, I couldn't think of a logical reason but if he had a reason then I couldn't question him about it

When we went up to the counter to pay for the items the cashier looked at me and asked would I be paying with cash or credit she didn't even acknowledge Josh I guess she just assumed I was paying, I looked at Josh and he whispered to me he told me if I paid he would reimburse me by the end of the trip we literally skipped hand and hand out of the mall

"Let's get you a makeover he said

I suddenly became insecure what you don't like how I look? I asked hurt he chuckled and said you're beautiful baby but you look plastic, dirty blond hair,little clothes, I wanna see the real you, I let him talk me into going to the salon, but first and foremost I changed into a nice summery dress with a cute short sleeved cardigan over it and cute Chanel sandals, when we made it to the salon I got a manicure and pedicure first, choosing a pretty pastel pink for my nail color, then I got rid of the blond I went back to my natural color brunette adding blond highlights, I even got my hair trimmed shorter "I love it!" I told my stylist pleased with it and got up flipping my hair in the mirror it had been so long since I was a brunette I thought I wouldn't look right but I looked beautiful Josh stood back and watched me with a smile the stylist informed me how much it would be, I was pissed that everyone kept ignoring Josh, how could they ignore this beauty? What was it? Did he look like he couldn't afford these things? He looked the par to me, I wanted to give everyone a piece of my mind but I was loving this exhilarated feeling and refused to let anyone bring me down, once Josh and I retreated out of the salon I jumped in his arms hugging him tight around his neck "do you like it baby?!" I asked him "no I love it sweetie!" He told me

He placed me on my feet and held me arms length "welcome back Emma I missed this Emma so much this is who I remember, you just added a little flavor with the highlights, this Emma is more beautiful" I cried because I missed that Emma too but she was back now!"

I noticed all the workers staring at me weirdly out of the salon but Josh told me to pay them no mind, after our eventful day we went to a nice hotel, once again Josh was being ignored I didn't understand it we brought all of our things in and ordered out for food, we showered together gently washing each other bodies when we got out we laid across the bed in our pajamas waiting on our room service, staring at each other like we've been doing most of the trip, Josh lightly ran his fingers up and down my thighs

"Josh tell me about yourself? I asked him the whole trip I didn't find out anything about him but yet he got everything out of me he even asked about my situation with Simon, Maria and their friends and I told him, I felt like I deserved to know I even wondered if he was in the NFL he was on his way to his dream college to play football before his accident, he couldn't go after that,I wondered if everything was revoked or was he still able to finish out his dream once he became better, Josh was the same but different in a way peculiar, the Josh I remember wasn't that quiet he talked a lot always had something to say, this Josh was very quiet and observant, but people change and besides it had been 6 years since I seen him we weren't those same 17 year old kids anymore we were young adults 23 years old a lot had changed

"You will figure it out" was all he said to me "figure out what Josh?" I asked him "you will soon understand" "what?" Now he was really confusing me

"How can you lay in the bed next to someone who tried to kill.."

He cut me off before I could finish

"Shhhh don't say that word Emma, you're going to make a promise to me ok? Promise me that you won't say that word ever again, promise me that you will forgive yourself for all of your wrong doings everyone has forgiven you, your deceased family even me that's why I'm here, so no more beating yourself up ok? You're a different person now and you're going to be something baby I know it"

"That was the most Josh said that day" he kissed me with everything in him he pulled his boxers down then pulled me on top of him,my bare heat graced his beautiful manhood and I gasped, he eased me down on him and I shuddered in pleasure and pain I was like a born again virgin,but he felt good and I felt home it had been so long since he was inside me it felt wonderful he stared me in my eyes as he thrusted up into me

"Josh oh Josh I love you"

"I love you too I always will Emma,my first and only love"

"Have you been intimate with anyone since me"

"No"

He told me

"Really after 6 years no one how is that possible? Ooooh so good Josh I miss being connected with you"

"You were the last Emma, soon you will understand"

"What?"

I didn't understand at all, I didn't understand what he meant

I could feel my peak approaching as I rode him harder

"Emma? after this day don't try to convince yourself that your losing your mind ok?"

"Why would I do that Josh?, Josh you're confusing me"

He didn't answer me instead he reached his peak within me and I reached mines screaming his name

"Josh!"

"Delivery for Emma!"

I woke up from the loud banging tangled in my sheets

"Coming!"

I wrapped in my sheet and answered the door

"Hi"

The delivery guy handed over the pizza, wings and soda and gave me a merchant receipt to sign

"You're going to eat all that, you're so little"

The delivery guy asked with a chuckle

"No,no my boyfriend and I by the way did you see a tall, athletic guy leave out this room as you were coming up?"

"Not that I can recall ma'am"

He replied

"Ok"

After I handed the receipt back I said my goodbyes, where could Josh be there was no trace of him but his clean, manly smell and his body wash, all traces of him was gone the body wash, his clothes,himself if I didn't know any better I would think he was never there, the only hint was his smell, I knew Josh wouldn't travel all that way just to leave me, so I thought positive, I thought maybe he wanted time alone by the way his mom did live there in Texas, I found a movie on Tv and started snacking on our food waiting for him to come back, 3 movies in he still weren't there, so I got ready for bed I was confident that he would be there by the time I opened my eyes the next morning...I hoped, I opened my eyes the next morning smelling food,wake up sleepy head someone said

Henry? My brother was sitting on my bed looking down at me with those beautiful hazel eyes hey Emma did you sleep well little sis? How do you like your surprise we got you a lavish 2 bedroom apartment and it's fully furnished how cool is that? I see you like the bed you were knocked out in it oh and I decorated your room said Henry

How is this possible? I thought to myself I was just in Texas Josh? Where is he? I said to Henry he looked at me confused "huh? are you feeling ok?" He said

"Wait I went to Texas right? I asked him

"Ummm yea..."

He said unsurely

"With who do I go with Henry?"

I asked

"Uh you went..."

Hunter! Is your sister up tell her to freshen up and come down for breakfast!" I heard my mother tell him

"Ummm our mothers are raiding your kitchen right now they did all your grocery shopping, hope you don't mind, he must've noticed my disoriented look..Emma?" I jumped up before he could say anything else and rushed to the bathroom grabbing my phone, when I entered my bathroom the first thing I did was google the salon in Texas I stopped by with Josh a soft voice answered on the second ring Salon couture how may I help you?

Umm hello? I was there to get a makeover I can't remember the exact day, but the service I received was a dye,trim,Pedi and Mani"

"What is your name?"

She asked me

"Emma Clarington"

"Let me check the books really quick, oh yea I remember you, you went from blond to brunette with highlights, that was a few days ago"

"Was I by myself I can't remember?"

"Ummm ma'am, not that I can recall, you were talking outside of the salon but I thought you might've been on a barely visible blue tooth or something"

Click I hung up in her face I was with Josh I'm sure of it and that was yesterday not 3 days ago but how am I back in LA that wasn't in my head I know it wasn't I sat on the closed toilet and bent over resting my head in my lap

Dear Lord of Mercy and Father of Comfort,

You are the One I turn to for help in moments of weakness and times of need. I ask you to be with your servant in this illness. Psalm 107:20 says that you send out your Word and heal. So then, please send your healing Word to your servant. In the name of Jesus, drive out all infirmity and sickness from her body Amen"

I said the healing Prayer my brother taught me muffled in my legs

I'm not crazy I know I'm not,I'm better Lord please tell me it was a dream, but it couldn't have been

I remembered Josh words "Emma? after this day don't try to convince yourself that your losing your mind ok?"

What was going on? I didn't know

"Emma? I looked up from my legs staring straight into my handsome brother eyes gosh Henry I could've been naked he ignored me instead he said I heard you Praying baby please tell me you're ok, he said kneeling down and taking my hands

"Hunter! Emma!

His mother called

"Gosh damnit I hate when she calls my name so loud it always startle me here we come mom! Emma we'll talk just get freshened up before our mothers have a heart attack he told me before he left out the bathroom, I was scared and confused I needed answers I needed my brother to hold me, I was confused hoping I wasn't losing my mind but how could I explain this to someone without them sending me back to the pysch
