Chapter 14 Life Falling into Place

Three weeks had passed since Brittany became pregnant, and two since Tyler almost died. Brittany was due in another few days. Everyone was at their house, wanting to be there when it happened. Dave and Claire, Toby and Julie, Tyler and Sarah and the rest of the chipmunks.

Tyler got out of the hospital a week ago, but had a few difficulties. He had to walk with a cane for a few months until his leg could heal, had to avoid any strainious work, and had to take powerful medication to control the pain. He also had trouble speaking because all the blood going through his throat caused a infection.

Tyler's parents also came to visit him in the hospital, where they appologized to Tyler for how they treated him. That near death made them realize they still loved their son, no matter what choices he made in his life. Things were finnally looking up for Tyler.

Everyone was in Alvin and Brittany's living room, watching tv since the weather outside was pretty crummy, rain and thunder. Brittany laid in Alvin's arms as they each rubbed her swollen stomach. They would each stop for a while when they felt the baby kick.

"You nervous?" said Tyler, his voice sounding scratchy and weak. Alvin and Brittany looked at Tyler, his arm was wrapped around Sarah's shoulders giving them his famed smile. Alvin and Brittany smiled back as they looked down. "Nervous, excited, and anxious" said Alvin.

Tyler smiled as he turned back to Sarah, "So are we" he said as he gave her a smile. Sarah smiled back as she rested her head on her shoulders. She was just relieved that Tyler pulled through. "Do you think it is a boy or girl" said Theodore as he held Eleanor tightly. "I say it is a girl" said Sarah quickly.

"You would like that, wouldn't you" said Tyler as he turned his head and smiled at Sarah. "That would make me happy" she said as she smiled up at him. "Well" he said as he slowly sat up, "I have something that will make you happy".

He gave a small groan of pain as he moved off the couch and got down on one knee. He then reached into his pocket and pulled out a small box. Sarah gasp as her eyes widened in shock. "Sarah Adriaan, will you marry me". Everyone almost screamed for joy as Tyler waited for a answer.

Sarah just sat there, completly still, just staring at the ring infront of her. "Please give me a answer Sarah" said Tyler, looking like he holding back pain, "My leg can't hold this postion much longer". Sarah finally looked up and smiled at him with tears forming in her eyes.

"Yes Ty, I will" she said as she wrapped her arms around him. Everyone in the room cheered as Tyler and Sarah kissed and got back up. "Congradulations Tyler" said Dave as he shook Tyler's hand. "I'm so happy for you Tyler" said Alvin, unable to get up because of Brittany.

"You deserve this" said Jeanette as she leaned her head on Simon's shoulders. "Thank you everyone" said Tyler as he slowly sat down, with Sarah helping him. Alvin looked at Tyler, knowing that his wounds would take a long time to heal, and he would probably never fully recover.

"Tyler, I think this belongs to you". Tyler looked up in time to see Alvin toss his spark over to him like a base ball. It landed in his hands and gently hovered over his palm. Tyler stared at it for a moment, looking conflicted. He then turned to Sarah, and saw her looking at him with a smile.

He then held his spark to her, "The choice is yours Sarah" said Tyler as he looked into her eyes. "If you want, I will give it back to Alvin, and we can live a normal life togeather".

Sarah wiped away a tear as she looked into his eyes. "Tyler, I can't ask you to get rid of something that has been apart of you for a huge part of your life. How I acted back then was immature and rude. I now see you for the man you really are. The same man that I fell in love with when we entered highschool, that would do anything me. Whatever may happen because of these powers, we will face it togeather".

Tyler smiled at Sarah and quickly kissed her cheek, he then looked down at his spark and slowly pushed it into his chest. A gentle light enveloped his body as his powers began to return. The light disappeared as Tyler sat there, taking a deep breath. He then turned to Sarah and held her hand.

"No matter what happens, I will always protect you". "I hate to break this tender moment" said Brittany calmly, "but it is time".

"What" said Alvin, his eyes widening in panic, "are you sure?". Brittany gave Alvin a ice cold stare. "Gee Alvin, I don't know, maybe it is this pain I'm feeling or maybe it is the fact that my water broke". Alvin then began to panic, as he tried to think straight, "What do we do? what do we do?" he said really quickly.

"Well" said Tyler as he slowly stood up and grabed his cane, "it would probably be best if we get her to the hospital". Without a word, Dave grabed his car keys and ran to the car. Then Brittany screamed in pain, "Oh my gosh" she said as the pain passed, "I didn't think it would hurt this much".

Claire then reached down and grabed Brittany as everyone ran for the car, with Tyler slowly following behind, still walking with his cane, limping as he approached the car and climbed in as Dave steped on the gas and went for the hospital.

Everyone waited in the waiting room while Alvin went with Brittany into the delivery room. "I'm going to be a grandfather" said Dave happily, with a bit of disbelief in his voice. He held Claire tightly as they smiled at the thoughts.

A rattle filled the room as everyone looked to Tyler, seeing him taking his medication. "Why can't you just use your powers to heal yourself" said Sarah as they all watched Tyler swollow his pills. "I don't want to see like I made a meraculas recovery when I get home. I'm just going to have to let my body heal on it's own".

Tyler then groaned as he leaned forward to grab a newpaper. Before he could reach it, Sarah quickly leaned forward and grabed it. "You should rest, don't keep pushing yourself". Tyler smiled as he slowly leaned back. "We're not even married yet, and already, you are telling me what to do".

Sarah smiled as she handed him the paper. "Your darn right, I almost lost you twice. I'm not going to lose you again for any reason". Tyler shook his head as he opened the paper and began to read. The room was silent, the only sound coming from the paper Tyler was reading while everyone taping their feet nervously.

"Are you all enjoying yourselves" said a voice at the entrance. Everyone quickly looked up and saw Alvin standing there, with a big smile on his face.

"Did Brittany have the baby?" said Dave as he and Claire jumped out of their seats. Alvin smiled as he looked up at them. "Yeah she did" said Alvin, his voice full of joy. "Well?" said Dave as everyone began to get impatient. "Oh, I don't know if I should tell now" said Alvin as he chuckled teasingly.

"Tell us now Alvin" said Jeanette as she and Eleanor took a threating step towards him. "Alright, alright" laughed Alvin as everyone glared at him. "Brittany wanted me to get you guys anyway. Follow me". Everyone then followed Alvin out the waiting room to Brittany's room, except for Tyler, who was still slowly getting up with Sarah helping him up.

Everyone almost burst into Brittany's room, and saw her sitting in the hospital bed, and in her arms, a small bundle of cloth. Everyone slowly walked over to her as she looked up and smiled. "Say hi to Aubrey" said Brittany as she held up her child.

Everyone wanted to scream for joy, but held it back, not wanting to wake the baby. They all hudled around Brittany, and looked at the bundle of fur in her arms. Her fur was auburn like Brittany's with a shade of brown to it.

Her eyes slowly opened as everyone saw her eyes. Her eyes were ice blue like Brittany's. The tiny chipmunk looked up at them with a smile as she began to coo. "She's so cute" said Eleanor as she and Jeanette wiggled the fingers infront of Aubrey.

The baby giggled as she tried to grab her aunts paws. Everyone kept their eyes on her as Tyler stepped into the room with Sarah helping at his side. He slowly made his way over to the bed and looked at the tiny chipmunk. "Conragulations you two" said Tyler, struggling to try and speak.

"Thanks Tyler" said Alvin as he sat down next to Brittany and wrapped his arms around her. Tyler smiled at them as he took a deep breath. "Always be proud of her you two" he said. "Always show her you love her, even when she may tic you off". Alvin and Brittany gave Tyler a caring smile, "Don't worry" said Brittany as she smiled at Alvin, "we always will be".

As the years past, more little bundles of joy came into their lives. Tyler and Sarah got married a month after Aubrey's birth, and about eight months later, had a girl they named Sandra, and a year later, a boy named TJ, short for Tyler Junior.

Alvin and Brittany had one more kid as well, this time a boy they named Evan. Theodore and Eleanor also had some kids. Make that two girls and a boy they named Malory, Alycia, and Eithan. Simon and Jeanette also had kids, two boys and two girls.

Brainiacs like them named Bailey, Sydni, Scott, and Jason. Over the years, Tyler would continue to preform at the chipmunks concerts while still remaining as a cop in the RCMP. Tyler and Alvin faced many foes over the years, and had many great adventures with each other, and their family.

Life was finally going right for all of them. They could all have the life they dreamed of, a life they had fought hard for, a life they deserved.

That is it, the last story for this series. Like I said, if you want, I can continue the series if you want. If you have ideas, let me know, I have a few I might do as well. I would probably release a new story every month or two, depending on how quick I can think of a story.

Thank you to all of you for your reviews, you were great. The real Tyler's life is now togeather as well, he got back togeather with Sarah. His life is finally coming togeather for him. And his parents are starting to come around as well. He's a great cop, and a great man. Just so you have a idea what he is like, here is one of my first memories of him.

When I was about four, my parents and his were having a little party. I had droped my ice cream cone and was crying. He was about 8 at the time and gave me his, and didn't get another one for himself. How Tyler Pauwel is in my stories is how he is in real life.

He basicly turned me into the person I am today, he really is a good friend, only wanting to hear your problems, and not talk about his. Even though he is only about 19 or 20, he is a highly respected person. He is known for his famous smile and funny jokes. Take what I have revealed about him in my stories as a lesson.

Work hard, and don't look for the worest in everything, see everything good. See you in a month or two.
