This is February 14th, Carly's 14th birthday. Not really much point to it, there is just an announcement, by the way it's a surprise party that her parents and her friends (there are more than just Hailey and Maddie... hint, hint), came up with. Okay, I figured out that there will be 30 chapters in this story so there are nine more to go after this.
Carly Shepherd was really upset. When Hailey invited her to sleep over, she was assuming it was like an early birthday kind of thing, but it wasn't. She hadn't even said happy birthday when they woke up. She wasn't even in the car with her and Hailey's mom Nicole. She said she had 'stuff' to do. What really ticked her off was her parents didn't call in the morning to say happy birthday. She was 14 years old today. Her parents, her friends, and her family forgot.
"Here you go Carly, see you later," Nicole said as she stopped at the long driveway.
"Yeah... thanks for dropping me off," Carly muttered, hopped out, grabbed her bags, and trudged towards the house. Carly was grumbling the whole way up her driveway, getting even angrier when she saw her parents' cars missing. She was going to spend her birthday alone.
"Happy freaking birthday to me," Carly hissed as she opened the door to her dark house. It was dark for long. A second later the lights were switched on.
"SURPRISE!" a multitude of voices meshed together. Carly watched as her parents, her family, both Seattle and New York, and her friends jumped out of several hiding places.
"I... I thought you... you all forgot," Carly stuttered looking around the room.
"Your our daughter Car," Derek said. "We could never forget your birthday."
"You... you didn't even call this morning," Carly told them.
"Well then.... happy 14th birthday sweetheart," Meredith laughed and hugged her tightly. Carly smiled widely and stepped forward to greet her family. Then she spotted Hailey near the door. Carly slapped her on the arm.
"Ow.... What did I do?" Hailey asked, feigning innocence.
"Oh I'll tell you what you did miss 'no... I don't know what day it is today' I spent the whole twenty minute car ride home very upset." Carly hissed. Hailey grinned sheepishly.
"I wasn't about to ruin the surprise," Hailey defended. Carly only slapped her again.
"Be nice," Mark chuckled and more girls giggles were heard. Carly rolled her eyes and turned towards the sound.
"And you all," she hissed and pointed towards the 6 girls standing to the side of Hailey. "'We're going shopping on the 14th, wanna come?'" They all giggled again.
"Sorry Car," Maddie laughed. "Plus, it was Lex's idea." Carly turned towards Alexis but then shrugged.
"Well I can't expect much more from her," Carly joked as Alexis' mouth gaped. "You know I am just kidding."
"Yeah yeah," Alexis scoffed jokingly and the girls giggled again. Soon after Carly confronted Alexis and her 'crew,' Alexis realized who her real friends were and who was just using her. When she announced that they were going to start liking Carly, 5 of the 10 girls turned their backs on her. Jacqueline, Cassidy, Julie, Gabi, and Brynn. They had this whole plan that they would ruin Alexis anyway, so they told her that this decision just bumped up the plan.
While this plan worked for a while, it soon backfired. In the beginning, everyone was loving the 5 of them and teasing the 8 other girls, Alexis, Carly, Sarah, Ava, Emily, and Mia. But as soon as the 6 girls forged a friendship, the tables turned. Now Carly had transformed into a completely different person with tons of friends.
Her parents had not been quick to accept Alexis, Sarah, Ava, Emily, or Mia as their daughter's friends. She had been restricted to seeing them at school only. But when Alexis had called the house, asking for Carly, and she was hung up on, Alexis invited herself over to talk to the Shepherd's. When Meredith and Derek realized that Alexis was not going away and she was actually trying to be Carly's friend, they allowed it. Soon, Sarah, Ava, Emily, and Mia were added into that equation.
Maddie and Hailey were quick to join as well. Hailey was just glad to have Sarah back, and Maddie enjoyed having friends that were not only older, but loved anything fashion like her.
"Yo Carly," she heard two chimed voices break her thought. Carly groaned. It was Kyle and Cody.
"What?" Carly asked.
"We so have to get you back from winning that game last summer," Cody told her.
"Newsflash.... it's winter," Carly rolled her eyes. "And I am surprised you guys haven't said anything about Wii bowling yet."
"Oh you are so on," Kyle said.
"Bring it... and now I am only a year younger then you two now so I have an even better advantage," Carly said.
"But as soon as April comes we will be 16," Kyle scoffed.
"Like it ever helped you before....." Carly laughed.
"Well then we can drive," Cody informed her.
"Oh... I am never walking the streets of New York again with you two as drivers," Carly teased.
"Carly... my sons may be obnoxious," Liz called. "But don't torture them." Carly's eyes darted towards Miranda where Tuck was next to her.
"Okay... I'll torture Tuck instead," Carly giggled.
"Hold it," Derek said grabbing her arm. "Don't you have something to say to us." Carly rolled her eyes.
"Well I was gonna do it later..." Carly laughed.
"Carly," Mer warned.
"Thank you... this is awesome," Carly gave in and kissed her parents on the cheek.
"Your welcome honey," Meredith said. With a smile Carly ran off in Tuck's direction. Tuck spotted her and ran away, but before she could follow him Abby and Kayla bounced in front of her.
"This your party?" Abby asked.
"Yeah," Carly laughed.
"What for?" Kayla questioned.
"It's my birthday," Carly explained.
"How old you?" Kayla asked.
"I am 14," Carly told them.
"How many hands is that?" Abby asked.
"More than two," Carly laughed at the little girls way of counting.
"Me only one," Abby exclaimed showing her one full hand.
"Mommy," Kayla exclaimed and ran up to Izzie.
"Yes baby," Izzie laughed.
"Carly more then 2 hands," Kayla explained. "She really old!" Everyone laughed.
"So your really old," Amanda laughed from behind her.
"There you are," Carly exclaimed. "Where were you?" She hugged her cousin tightly.
"I was talking to Tuck and then he ran away," Amanda said amused. Carly giggled.
"That's Tuck for you," Carly laughed. "Do you even know what his real name is?"
"Don't you dare," Tuck said coming out of no where.
"What?" Amanda asked.
"William George Bailey Jones," Carly told her. Amanda started laughing.
"Be nice to me, I have to leave early," Tuck said.
"Your stupid father," Carly muttered.
"You used to call him Uncle Tucker," Tuck pointed out.
"But then he became the asshole who moved across the state and got more custody of you than your mom," Carly whined.
"Whatever," Tuck muttered. "It gives me refuge from you for the weekdays." Carly slapped him.
"Oh you know you love me," Carly giggled.
"Happy birthday to you, Happy birthday to you, Happy birthday dear Carly, Happy birthday to you," everyone sang as Carly giggled in front of her cake. As soon as they were finished, she closed her eyes, made a wish, and blew out all 14 candles.
"CAKE! CAKE!" Kayla and Abby said immediately as everyone was done clapping.
"Yes cake," Carly laughed as Izzie whisked the cake away to cut it. Carly got up and walked over to her friends.
"God Car, you have a huge family," Mia said for about the hundredth time.
"And remember, not all of them are related to me," Carly informed her.
"Yeah," Maddie said. "I'm considered her cousin but not really. Just because her mom is my mom's best friend and she calls my mom Aunt Izzie."
"Whatever, I am starving," Ava said. Carly laughed.
"You've never had one of her mom's cakes," Carly told them all. "They are almost as good as her muffins." The girls looked at her questionably. "She's a baking freak."
"I heard that Carly!" Izzie called from the kitchen and the girls erupted in giggles.
"Does that mean you will be too?" Alexis asked Maddie. "You look like her, you'll probably be a baking addict too."
"I heard that Alexis!" Izzie called again, this time peeking her head around the corner. The girls all shared a glance and laughed again. "For the birthday girl," Izzie said handing her a piece of cake and putting out the rest on a tray where the girls grabbed some.
"God your right," Emily said.
"Well I've already had them," Sarah chided. "It's not as special the second or third time around."
"Well you missed them for a few years," Carly nudged her. Everyone was always so surprised at how openly Carly talked about 5 of her best friends teasing her. Carly's explanation was always that that part of her life was over and it was time to forget and move on.
"Hello Carly," Cody said coming around from behind her.
"What do you want dork?" Carly asked.
"Well..." Kyle said. "We want a rematch."
"Another rematch," Carly teased. "Because I am pretty sure we already played 5 times and even Lex beat you two once."
"What's that supposed to mean?" Lex asked as the rest of the girls giggled.
"Just trying to prove a point to the idiots," Carly shrugged it off.
"Hey Carly... what's that?" Cody asked pointing in another direction.
"Like I'm gonna fall for that," Carly scoffed.
"Oh... but that was only the distraction," Kyle laughed.
"For what?" Carly asked.
"This," Cody said as he flipped her plate up. The cake flew to her mouth and fell, leaving a trail of icing down her face and shirt. All the girls, except Carly laughed as the boys ran away.
"OH MY GOD!" she screeched getting almost everyone's attention. "YOU TWO ARE SO DEAD!" Before she started chasing after them, everyone saw the icing and started laughing too. Meredith watched as she sped past her and turned to talk with Kathleen, Nancy, and Liz.
"And there she goes," Meredith laughed.
"Those boys are gonna be the death of me," Liz muttered.
"And Carly," Nancy said amused.
"God... she has changed," Kathleen thought aloud.
"Yeah... sorry about Christmas... I know we usually spend it in New York but Carly somehow convinced us to go to Florida," Meredith shook her head.
"It's fine," Nancy shrugged.
"So... have you told her yet?" Kath asked.
"No..." Mer admitted. "I'm... I'm afraid at how she'd take it."
"I'm sure she'll be fine," Liz reassured.
"Why don't you tell her today... with all of us around... it may make it easier," Nancy suggested.
"I guess," Meredith shrugged and then smiled as she watched as Carly tackled her two older cousins.
"Hey Car... could we talk to you for a second," Derek said as him and Mer watched her finish Wii bowling from the top of the steps.
"Wait for a sec," Carly said. "This is my last shot." He watched as she lined up and bowled. "YES! STRIKE!"
"No!" Cody exclaimed.
"Beat you... again!" Carly said triumphantly.
"Carly... we really need to speak to you," Meredith said. Carly shrugged.
"What's up," she said running up to them.
"Have a seat," Derek said walking over to the kitchen table.
"We need to tell you something," Meredith said as she took a seat.
"Well what is it?" Carly asked.
"Um... well," Derek stuttered.
"I'm waiting," Carly leaned forward. Meredith smiled.
"Carly.... I'm pregnant," Meredith told her. Carly looked at her in shock and stayed silent.
"Carly?" Derek questioned.
"You guys want this right?" Carly asked warily.
"Yeah... um.... it's twins.... fraternal," Meredith nodded. Carly jumped up.
"That's great!" she exclaimed and hugged her parents.
"Your okay with this?" Derek asked.
"Why wouldn't I be?" Carly asked. "I'm getting two new siblings."
"I thought you liked being an only child," Meredith said.
"I did, but it gets lonely sometimes," Carly admitted. "And you guys are happy about this... right?"
"Ecstatic," Meredith said.
"Especially if I get two boys," Derek smiled. Carly's eyes widened.
"And have two people like Kyle and Cody," Carly scoffed. "In your dreams dad." Meredith and Carly laughed as Derek frowned. The Shepherd family's life was now perfect.
