Ok guys, this is it. The last chapter of Walk Me Home. It's so sad and heartbreaking for me to write this because you all LOVED this story. It had good times and bad times and now it has come down to the final chapter. I'll save my thank-you's for the ending of the chapter. Let me tell you, this is a pretty long chapter; the longest chapter that I'll ever write for this story. I spent all of today making a Cliff Notes version of this chapter and it looks pretty good. Hope you all like this chapter. Enjoy!!
Chapter 26- Summer Endings Part 2: The McKessie-Danforth Miracles
When Taylor had said that to Briana, she started to hyperventilate. Bri reached for the counter, trying to catch her balance.
"They're coming...now?" Briana asked.
"Yes, now go tell Chad," Taylor told her. She yelled loudly and grabbed her stomach painfully.
"What was that?" Briana asked.
"You'll know if you go get Chad, NOW!" Taylor exclaimed, as Briana jumped at her voice. She scrambled off towards the master bedroom and pounded on the bathroom door.
"What?" Chad yelled.
"Get out of there now!" Briana said.
"And tell me why?" Chad replied.
"Taylor's water broke! The twins are coming!!" Briana exclaimed.
The shower water immediately stopped. The door swung open and Chad came out with a towel on, his hair weighing down around his head.
"It's coming now?" Chad asked.
Briana rolled her eyes and replied, "Yes! Now let's go! We need to go to the hospital!!"
"Ok...go into the twins closet and grab her bag. I'll get dress and calm her down," Chad proclaimed.
Briana only nodded and they both put their hands together. "BREAK!" they exclaimed, both leaving towards a different destination. In a few minutes, Chad was already dressed and went downstairs to a groaning Taylor with her hand to her stomach. Chad saw her and rushed towards her side.
"How are you feeling, baby?" Chad asked.
"Like I'm going to die!" Taylor groaned. Chad softly smiled and told her, "It's going to be ok. Follow the breathing techniques,"
They both started the breathing technique that the doctor had instructed and Taylor started to feel a little better...until another contraction hit her.
"AAH!" she screamed, which made Jessica start to cry.
"Oh no! Come on Taylor, let's get you to the car. Briana, where's that bag?" Chad called out towards Briana.
"I can't find it in the closet!" Briana yelled back. Chad sighed, 'What can go wrong now?' He picked up Jessica and started to rock her softly while helping Taylor towards the couch. He ran towards the closet and right no the floor was the bag.
"Bri, get down here. I got the bag!!" Chad replied. He placed Jessica on the couch next to Taylor and helped Taylor up again.
"Chad..I don't think we're gonna make it," Taylor told him.
"Don't ever say that again. We're gonna make it," Chad encouraged. Briana soon came down the stairs and grabbed the bag and Jessica.
"Let's get everything to the car," Chad said. Briana agreed and they all left towards Chad's truck. After settling everyone in the car and after another contraction from Taylor, they were heading down the road. Soon after, Taylor felt another contraction and screamed loudly.
"Chad, it's getting worse," Taylor breathed.
"Ok, Taylor," Chad said.
"It's not ok! We need to get there now!!" Taylor yelled. Chad jumped in fear and slammed the gas pedal as he sped down the road.
"Chad..I think you're going too fast," Briana said.
"Bri... I know what I'm doing," Chad replied. But yet again, he was wrong. The police was behind him before you knew it.
"Oh, you're kidding right!" Chad sighed.
"Chad, what's going on?" Taylor asked as he pulled off to the side of the road.
"Nothing, babe. Don't worry about it," Chad said, kissing her hand as the policeman came up to Chad's side.
"Mister, can I see your license and registration please?" the policeman asked.
Chad nodded and pulled them both out.
"Hi 'olice," Jessica smiled.
The policeman smiled back and looked back over at Chad. "Ok sir, do you know that you were doing 92 in a 75 mile zone," he asked
Chad sighed and replied, "Yeah, I know but my girlfriend right here, she's in labor, having really bad contractions and I would really like to for her to not have the babies in my car."
Almost immediately, Taylor felt another sharp pain in her stomach. "Why aren't we at the hospital? Why aren't we driving?" Taylor screamed.
The policeman looked over at her in fear. "I'll be able to escort you guys there ASAP," he replied.
"Thank you," Chad said. The policeman got in the car and turned on his sirens as he drove in front of Chad. Chad looked over at Taylor as she was trying to come back to normal.
"We're almost there, Taylor. Don't worry," Chad said, taking her hand. Taylor only nodded and continued her breathing technique.
A few minutes later, they have arrived to the Albuquerque Community Hospital, where they put Taylor in a bed immediately and sent her off to the delivery room. Chad tried to follow but the nurses wouldn't let him by the door.
"I have to go in here; she's my girlfriend!!" Chad told the nurse.
"You'll have to sign the forms and no one is allowed in there unless recommendation from the doctor or the patient itself. I'm sorry sir," the nurse explained, giving him a clipboard filled with papers. Chad sighed and sat inbetween Briana and Jessica in the waiting room.
"When will we see Taylor?" Briana asked.
"When the twins come out, I guess. I just hope everything will go ok," Chad sighed. Suddenly, something clicked into his brain. "Shoot! I have to call the gang!" he exclaimed. Grabbing his cell phone from his pocket, he speed dialed Troy first.
"Yo, what's going on?" Troy asked.
"Taylor's in labor right now," Chad explained.
"What?! How is she?" Troy asked, with a worried voice.
"Fine but with huge contractions. Get the whole gang down here ASAP and I have something else to tell you guys when you all get down here," Chad said.
"We'll be there before you know it," Troy replied, then hanging up the phone. Chad sighed and continued to fill out the papers. He looked over at Briana and Jessica looking in a kids magazine and smiled. How could he explain to the gang about Melody's situation and how he got to keep Jessica?
After a while, the whole gang showed up, worried about Taylor's condition.
"How's Taylor? Will she be ok? How are the twins? Does she have to go to C-section?" questions from the gang bombarded towards Chad.
"Guys, hold up for a sec. Before I even tell you about Taylor, I have something else to tell you guys," Chad said. Everyone looked up at him in surprise.
"What's going on Chad?" Sharpay asked, crossing her arms.
Gabriella rolled her eyes and saw Jessica playing with blocks on the floor. "And why is Jessica here? Wasn't it Melody's week?"
Chad sighed and sat back down the chair. It was too hard for him to tell him; to see how they would react. Troy sat down next to him and patted him on his back.
"Dude, what's going on?" Troy asked.
Chad breathed and explained, "Melody's mom is sick. Super sick..and Melody needs to go back up to New Jersey to help her,"
"So why did she leave Jessica with you?" Zeke asked.
"...Her mom doesn't want Jessica up there, not even Melody anyways. When her mom found out that Melody was carrying Jessica, she had kicked her out. She has been living with her poor of a cousin in New York until she moved down here with her dad. Now she has to go back and she can't take Jessica with her again. She couldn't leave her with her dad because he goes out of town too much so...she gave me and Taylor custody of her," he explained.
The gang just looked at him, like he was a psycho.
"So...you're saying that...Melody befriended you and Taylor and gave you guys custody of Jessica?" Kelsi asked.
Chad only nodded, knowing that his friends were more than just pissed off.
"Wow...I didn't know that she was actually living like that. And all this time, we've been giving her a hard time," Gabriella replied softly.
"That's exactly what Taylor said. Melody had already asked for forgiveness from Taylor and she accepted," Chad said.
"So where's Melody now?" Troy asked.
"On a plane to New Jersey. She had to be out there this week," Chad replied.
"And when did all of this happen?" Sharpay said.
"Just a few weeks ago..." Chad murmured. Soon, he got hits on his arm and head.
"Hey! What was that for?" Chad yelled as the gang laughed.
"You should have been told us! What's wrong with you?" Sharpay explained.
"I'm sorry, it's just with the twins coming along and taking care of Jessica really put me out of it. It's hard trying to balance all of this plus do school and basketball," Chad explained. Jessica walked over to Chad and hugged his leg.
"'m sleepy," she murmured. Chad smiled and laid her on his lap as he rocked his legs to make her fall asleep.
"Well, you know you always have us, Chad. And Taylor too. You're not in it alone," Gabriella promised, hugging Chad.
"Yeah, we could help you out when you need it!" Jason proclaimed, patting his back.
"Thanks guys. For everything," Chad smiled. They all smiled back and gave him a huge group hug.
"So...what's going on with Taylor?" Zeke asked.
In the delivery room...
"Taylor, for the last time, you have to push!" the nurse told Taylor. She has been perfectly dilated for at least 8 minutes and Taylor hasn't yet to push.
"I need Chad in here! Where is he?" Taylor exclaimed.
"We cannot bring Chad in here. The twins are ready to come out," the nurse explained.
"My babies aren't coming out until their daddy gets here," Taylor growled, giving the nurse an evil look. Just then, Doctor Darnell came into the room and asked, "What's going on?"
"She says that she won't push until her boyfriend is here with her," the nurse said.
"It said on her sheet that if she was dilated, the boy would need to be in here with her. We already said this before," the doctor told her. The nurse just rolled her eyes and left the room. Taylor groaned as she felt the need to push. 'I can't push until Chad comes, but then the babies might die,' she thought in her head. She felt back onto the bed in pain, hoping that Chad would come into the room soon enough.
Outside in the waiting room...
The gang, Chad and Briana were just hanging around in the waiting room when the nurse came in. Everyone rushed up to her, Chad getting there first.
"How is she?" he asked.
"She said that she won't push until her boyfriend is in there with her," she announced, annoyed.
"I'm her boyfriend," Chad said.
"Well, come on. Let's go," the nurse replied. Chad was getting ready to follow her but a small hand touched his. He looked down to see Taylor's sister behind him.
"What's wrong, Briana?" he asked, kneeling down to her.
"Why can't I go?" she asked.
Chad sighed and hugged her close. "I promise, she'll be perfectly fine. When the twins come, you'll be the first to see her, ok?"
"Ok," she whispered. They squeezed hands and Chad handed Jessica to Gabriella.
"Watch the two for me; I'll be back as soon as Taylor is done," he told everyone.
The gang nodded and sat back down, Briana still looking sad but with a soft smile on her face. Chad smiled back and followed the nurse to where Taylor was at.
In the delivery room again...
"Ok Taylor, now's the time. You have to push," the doctor told her.
"I won't push until Chad comes!" she exclaimed.
"I'm already here babe," Chad announced as he came in through the door. Taylor smiled at the sight of him as they kissed softly. He was dressed in a white suit-type thing with a apron, gloves and a cap over his huge pile of hair.
"I couldn't have the babies without you," Taylor softly said.
"I wouldn't miss this for the world," Chad replied, taking her hand and kissing her forehead.
The doctor smiled over at the couple and said, "Ok Taylor, you ready to push now?"
"I'm ready now, doctor," Taylor smiled, looking over at Chad as he knelt beside her.
"Ok, you need to push hard now. Alright and...push!" the doctor announced. Taylor started pushing her insides with all her might, Chad urging her on the side. She stopped to breathe and pushed again...
30 minutes later...
Taylor had kept on pushing but nothing hasn't been really happening. The twins were somehow stuck at the entrance.
"We can't get both out at the same time, doctor," the nurse told him.
"Ok, we might have to go into C-section for this Taylor," Doctor Darnell told Taylor.
Taylor whimpered and shook her head. "No, I want these babies now!"
"That's literally the only way unless you want to continue to push," he said.
Taylor fell back on the bed and nearly cried. She knew what happened to ladies in C-section; they never turn out well. But on the other hand, she was tired of pushing.
"Chad, I don't want to push anymore, but I don't want to go to C-section," she told Chad, who was still next to her.
"Baby, we can do this. Just keep trying, ok?" Chad asked.
"But I'm tired. I don't feel like pushing. I felt like I pushed it all out," Taylor cried.
Chad held her head close to his and kissed her. "Taylor, if you can win a Scholastic Decathlon meet, if you can brave living in your mom's room while she's passed away, if you love me, I know you can push this out," he bravely said. Then he started to sing into her ear.
"Walk me home. I don't wanna go all the way alone. Baby, would you walk with me home?" Chad sang. Taylor started to smile and looked over at Chad with tears coming down.
"It's our song," Taylor said.
Chad nodded and continued to sing, "Baby, would you take my hand? Come with me now to our special land. Baby would you walk with me home?"
Taylor nodded and held his hand tightly; she was ready to push again.
"Ok, doctor, we got the babies to clear the entrance," the nurse announced.
"Fantastic, ok Taylor. We've been in here for over an hour. Let's push these babies out! And...push!" he said.
Taylor pushed with Chad urging her on, their hands squeezing the life out of the other.
"I can see the head!" the nurse yelled.
"Almost there, Taylor. Come on!" Chad told her.
Taylor screamed as she felt the baby come out of her. After that, a small cry erupted throughout the room.
"It's a girl!" the nurse announced. The couple looked at each other, tears brimming in their eyes.
"Chad, would you like to cut the umbilical cord?" the doctor asked.
Chad nodded and grabbed the scissors and softly cut the cord. He looked back at the doctor and saw his little girl in his hands. He walked back over to Taylor and smiled as the nurse cleaned the girl.
"Ok, time for baby 2. Push!" the doctor said, ready for the second child.
The couple held hands once more and Taylor pushed and screamed with all her might. Another cry came through the room in a few seconds.
"It's a boy!" he announced.
"You did it, Taylor! I'm so proud of you," Chad said, kissing her all over her face, ending at her lips but Taylor pulled back.
"No...we did it Chad. Without you, I wouldn't have had those babies," Taylor smiled. Chad smiled back as they kissed once more. He left again to cut the cord from his son and went back over to Taylor's side.
Taylor fell back onto the bed, tired from all the pushing. It was all over and two new lives were just beginning. Chad looked over at her and brushed some hair from her head.
"I know I look ugly, Chad," Taylor groaned.
"You look perfect. You always do," Chad smiled, kissing her knuckles, "and I'm so proud of you,"
Taylor only just smiled as the nurse came over to them with the twins on her arms. "They look just like you guys. Congratulations! I'll check back with you guys later," the nurse said before leaving them with the twins.
The couple nodded and looked down at the twins. "They're so adorable," Taylor cooed as she held the girl in her hands, Chad holding the son.
"Yeah, I can already tell that this dude is going to have the afro puff," Chad said with a smile. Taylor only rolled her eyes and looked down at her daughter.
"Tay...who's last name they're taking?" Chad asked.
Taylor looked back up at him and bit her lip. That was a pretty hard question to answer since they both aren't married yet. Taylor sighed and responded, "Well we could put them in both of our last names, like Danforth-McKessie.
"But that'll be too long," Chad complained. Taylor rolled her eyes; same old Chad.
"It'll make sense though," Taylor smiled. He only smiled back and he passed the son over to Taylor.
"Where are you going?" Taylor asked.
"To get the gang; they've been waiting for a long time and they would very much like to see you," Chad explained. He kissed her forehead, "I'll be right back. Don't move!" he said as he left the room.
Taylor smiled back and looked down at her miracles. It was like a dream come true but at a young age. She knew if her mom was here, she would be so proud and her dad would be the same...but a little mad because it was before she turned 21. She only smiled at the thought and looked down at her little twins as they both looked back up at her.
"You guys are so beautiful," Taylor whispered. The nurse then came in and then taught her how to breast-feed the babies, one at a time.
Out in the waiting room...
The gang was spread out in the waiting room, some asleep, some trying to stay awake and others who were bored out of their minds.
"How long does it take to have two babies?" Jason moaned.
"My guess: super long," Kelsi replied, leaning back on him.
"When can we see Taylor?" Briana asked, looking up at the older teens.
"We'll be able to see them soon," Gabriella said with a smile that turned into a yawn. Jessica was still asleep but in Sharpay's arms.
After a while, the doors burst open and everyone looked up.
"Chad!" they all shouted and ran up towards him, Briana getting to him first.
"Ok guys, amazing news...oh just come and see them," Chad said, nearly jumping in his pants.
The gang laughed and followed him down to Taylor's room. He looked inside to see if the coast was clear and saw Taylor ending her breast-feeding. Chad smiled at her and let the others inside.
"Oh my god, Taylor!" the girls squealed as they rushed over to her side. Taylor smiled at the sight of the gang.
"Hey you guys!" she said, with a little rasp in her voice.
"How were you?" Gabriella said, hugging her.
"I'm fine now that I have the twins, look," Taylor smiled, showing the gang the twins.
"Aww, they look just like you guys," Sharpay said. The guys came over at took a look at the twins.
"I think I see a new Wildcat in the making," Troy announced, nudging Chad.
"That's exactly what I said," Chad replied, sitting over by Taylor's side.
"What are their names?" Kelsi asked.
Chad and Taylor looked over at each other and smiled. "Ok, the girls name is Rachel Monique Danforth-McKessie," Taylor introduced.
"And this future Wildcat my friends," Chad joked, holding the newborn son, "is Chad Micheal Danforth-McKessie Jr,"
"No it isn't!" Taylor exclaimed, hitting his arm.
"Ok, ok, it's actually Bradley Corbin Danforth-McKessie, otherwise known as Brad," Chad said.
"Those names are beautiful. Congratulations, you guys," Gabriella said, hugging both of them as did everyone else.
"Thanks guys," Taylor said, smiling at everyone.
The doctor soon came in and said, "I see you guys have company," he smiled, "The results are in from the nursery and they are clean and healthy,"
Everyone cheered and clapped as Chad and Taylor held hands, smiling at one another. "That's great news, doctor," Taylor said.
"I know, and you should be getting some rest, Ms. McKessie. Having twins takes a lot out of you," the doctor said, patting her leg.
"Yeah, I'm actually kinda tired, guys," Taylor said.
"Oh it's fine, we'll leave now, right guys?" Sharpay said, looking over at the men in the group.
"Sure, yeah we'll get out of here," the guys mumbled. They hugged Taylor and Chad once more before everyone left. Zeke then popped his head back in through the door.
"What is it, Zeke?" Taylor asked.
"You have two other visitors here to see you," Zeke said, opening the door. In came two young girls that have been waiting to see the two for so long.
"Taylor!" Briana cried out. She ran to her older sister and gave her a huge hug.
"Hey Bri," Taylor said back. They pulled away and Taylor brushed her sister's hair, "How have you been holding out?"
"Ok, I guess," Briana smiled. She looked down at the two babies that were in Taylor's arms, "So this are..."
"Your niece Rachel and your nephew Bradley," Taylor introduced with a smile. Chad was holding Jessica up so she could see the twins too.
"'abies," Jessica said, pointing at the twins.
"She's learning words easy," Taylor said to Chad.
"Well, she probably has a good teacher," Chad replied, nudging Briana. Briana only smiled and looked back over at her sister.
"Can I hold one of them?" she asked shyly.
Taylor nodded with a smile and taught Briana how to hold a child. After that, she put Rachel in her hands and she felt like a little angel. Chad and Taylor watched how Briana was rocking it and saying stuff to it.
"We have a little family," Chad said to her ear.
"I know; it's perfect," Taylor replied, looking over at Chad. They kissed once more and looked all around them, happy that they were a family in their own special way.
2 weeks later...
After a week in the hospital, Taylor and the twins were able to go home. It took Chad a super long time to come since he was still trying to learn how to put the new car seats in the car. They both 3 sets of car seats for both Taylor and Chad's car; 2 for the twins and one for Jessica. The first night that they bought the twins, it had Taylor and Chad staying up all night, trying to get one, the other or both to sleep. But after a while, they learned to be able to fall asleep and stay that way. Their room was fully decorated and with top-notch technology (baby monitors, etc). When Taylor and Chad had to take care of the twins, Briana was always known to keep an eye out for Jessica, like an older sister. Sometimes at night, Chad or Taylor would sneak out of bed and just watch the 4 children sleeping, happy that they could be together as a real family. Both of their parents would and was so proud of them. The Danforths have even offered that they could babysit the 4 when they would be busy when school started back up. It was like a dream become reality.
The night before the first day of school, Taylor was in Jessica's room, trying to find the girl something to wear to her first day at daycare. All the kids were sound asleep and Chad was busy doing something in the basement. Taylor loved the quietness that the house had when all the kids were sleeping. Just then, a knock came from Jessica's door. Taylor turned around and smiled when she saw Chad.
"You busy right now?" Chad asked.
"I'm almost done getting Jess's clothes, why?" Taylor asked.
"Come with me to the park," Chad said.
"While the kids are here by themselves? No," Taylor replied.
"Come on..." Chad groaned walking over to Taylor, "We haven't had anytime together ever since the birth of Rachel and Bradley. Please?" he pulled out the dog pout.
Taylor sighed and resisted, "Ok, let me get my shoes,"
Chad pulled his hand from behind him, "They're right here,"
Taylor took them and looked at Chad suspiciously, "What's going on?" she asked.
"Nothing, I just want to walk in the park with the beautifulest girl in all of New Mexico," Chad smiled. Taylor blushed and they both left Jessica's room, closing the door behind them. Soon enough, they were both outside walking to the nearby park, without locking the front door first. The couple clasped hands and Taylor leaned onto Chad's shoulder.
"Do you remember after the after-party, when there was a shooting star?" Chad asked.
Taylor nodded and replied, "Yeah,"
"What did you wish for?"
Taylor looked up at him and smiled, "I wish that you liked me and was my boyfriend,"
"So did I," Chad smiled at her. Taylor smiled back and they walked down towards the lake.
"This is just too good to be true," Taylor said.
"What is?" Chad asked.
"All of this. I mean, I thought this would never happen. You and me. It's just too good to be true," Taylor explained.
"Same here. I mean, before Gabriella came along, we used to hate each other. And I'm sorry for all the bad things I've said about you way back then," Chad apologized.
"It's fine, Chad. And same here too," Taylor said, forgiving him.
Chad sighed and put his hands in his pockets, "Taylor...there's no way to say this but...you've changed my life. And I'm so happy that I met the perfect girl like you. You..you're smart, funny, intelligent, sweet, caring and too many other things that I'll just get carried away with. And even though we had our difficulties and our conflicts, we've managed to put them aside and start our own family. Taylor, there's just one thing missing,"
"What is it?" Taylor asked softly. Chad sighed and looked Taylor dead in her eyes.
"It's to have a full last name. We can't have the twins share two last names, and I'm willing to make everyone's last name, including yours, a Danforth last name," Chad announced. He got down on one knee and Taylor started to cry.
"Taylor McKessie, you are my light, my strength, my sun and my moon. You make me who I am now; a great friend, father, and the best relationship that you've ever had. I know that we're young but we know how we feel about each other. So...can you promise me one day..that when we graduate, you can have my last name?" Chad asked, in other words, marry him.
Taylor's tears came running down as she nodded happily. "Yes Chad, yes, yes and yes! I'll be more than happy to marry you one day!"
Chad jumped up in joy and danced around like a maniac. Taylor only laughed at him and he scooped her up into a huge hug and spun her around. She threw her head back and giggled, oh how he loved her laugh. He let her back down and pulled out the ring from his pocket. Taylor gasped at how beautiful it was. It was a simple silver band that had C & T with a heart at the end. It also had small diamonds around the rest of the band. Chad slipped it on her finger and kissed her passionately. Taylor responded and pulled her close, enjoying the kiss for all its worth. And as they kissed, they started to remember everything that happened between them from the party to now...
HUGE FLASHBACKS...
A slamming of the door and feet running down the stairs signaled Chad that Taylor was ready. He turned around to see Taylor trying to tie her shoes while coming down the stairs. He sighed and he got up to help her tie her shoes. He held her in balance and he put her foot on his leg and he tied her shoe for her. Taylor smiled at him and Chad blushed when he caught a glimpse of her smiling. When he was done tying her shoe, he let her foot and held out his hand ready to leave.
"Is my lady ready to go now?" Chad asked in a British voice.
Taylor giggled at his change of voice. "I will be as soon as I get my purse," she replied.
"You look pretty decent for a girl. Are you sure she's not just some ordinary cheerleader girl that you always have your eye on or something" Nikki asked.
Chad turned to look at her, with a serious look that meant it was the total opposite of what she thought. "She's not just an ordinary girl, not even a cheerleader. She's very smart, beautiful, nice, sweet and she totally understands me," Chad replied.
Out of all the boys, you're not like the others
From the very first day, I knew we'd be lovers
In my wildest dreams, my darkest desire
Would I declare to you, your love takes me higher
For you I will
For you I will
For you
Chad looked at Taylor when he said those words. All the girls looked at Taylor and squealed. Gabriella went to sit next to her.
"You know he's singing that song for you right?" Gabi said
All Taylor did was blush and smile.
-------------------------------------------
"Look Chad, a shooting star," Taylor said. Chad looked up at the sky. Then more rays of light shot through the sky. It was a meteor shower.
"It looks like a meteor shower to me, Taylor," Chad replied. Taylor looked at him like he outsmarted her. They both looked up at the sky.
"Make a wish," they both said at the same time. They looked at each other and turned the other way to hide their blushes. They both closed their eyes and made a wish that was all the same: I wish that Taylor/Chad liked me and was my girlfriend/boyfriend.
After their wishing, the meteor shower suddenly stopped and only two rays of light shot through the sky and out into space again.
Just when we both thought our lives were set in stone
They shone a light, and brought us together
"Sorry about that. She always wants to take Bubbles to bed, just because I accidentally gave it her and I got it back saying it was a mistake. I don't really know what's going on in her mind to make her..." Taylor rambled until she stopped.
Chad had actually KISSED her! It was a soft, sweet kiss. When Chad pulled back, Taylor was stunned.
"You rambled so it was the only way to make you stop," Chad said even though that wasn't why he kissed her.
"Ok," replied Taylor. She closed her eyes and leaned in again for another kiss. Chad gladly accepted it and yet it was still a soft sweet kiss.
------------------------
What is it, Chad? Do I have something on my face?" Taylor asked again. She actually did have something on her face. Orange sauce from the orange chicken she had.
"Um, yeah," Chad said softly.
"I do?" Taylor said.
"Here let me get it off," Chad said as he grabbed a napkin and went to Taylor.
"No, it's ok. I got it," Taylor said as she got a napkin. But Chad was faster and already wiped it off.
"There. It's gone," Chad replied. Their faces were close to each other, then Taylor leaned in and gave him a kiss. Chad responded and they were softly kissing. Chad stood Taylor up and she leaned in closer to him. Chad bit her bottom lip and Taylor opened her mouth wide and Chad's tongue entered Taylor's mouth. Taylor was feeling so weak in her knees when she felt his tongue, she almost fell. But Chad held her back and kept her up straight. Their tongues were dueling for a while until the waiter interrupted.
We are two in a million
We've got all the luck we could be given
If the world should stop, we'll still have each other
And no matter what, we'll be forever as one
"Cute teddy. Where did you get it?" Melody asked.
"Um..uh...Chad gave it to me," Taylor replied softly.
"Oh really," Melody said as she looked at Chad. Then she lowered her voice to a whisper. "Well, he probably gave that to you because you're just a fucking boring science geek like everyone else in this fucking school. Chad only gives teddy bears to girls he loves like me," Melody sneered.
Fortunately for Chad, he had heard everything that Melody whispered to Taylor. He got out of his desk and pulled Melody away from Taylor.
"You know what, you have no damn right to talk to her like that! She didn't do shit to you. And it so happens that I do love her. So just back off, OK!" Chad yelled. This had gotten everyone's attention in homeroom.
--------------------------------------------------------
"I came in here to get these, Chad. Sorry for barging in," Taylor said shyly.
"It's alright. It's your bathroom, not mine," Chad replied, "I'll be out in a few, ok?"
"All right," Taylor said. Chad pulled her close to him and kissed her passionately. She happily accepted as the passion of the kiss grew. He leaned her against the door to close it fully. Taylor felt his partly wet body on her and she wrapped her arms around his neck, pulling him closer. Her hands started roaming his wet chest and down to the edge of the towel. Chad was already making circles on Taylor's back and she moaned into his mouth as they continued kissing. He lifted her up against the door and Taylor wrapped her legs around his waist, her toes tugging his towel down. He soon started kissing down Taylor's neck and onto her chest to seek out more of his territory and his hands were under Taylor's shirt. Taylor moaned, this time louder, at the touch of his hands on her back; she did'nt want this seduction to stop. When he started tugging on the back to Taylor's bra, that's when Taylor pulled back from him.
"I don't think we should do that now," Taylor said, trying to catch her breath.
"Yeah, yeah. Sorry Taylor. Shouldn't you be downstairs by now?" Chad smirked as he put Taylor back on the ground.
"Yeah I should. I'll be downstairs if you need me," Taylor replied as she kissed him one last time. She grabbed the cloths and left the bathroom, closing the door softly behind her. She looked down at her clothes and they were partly wet because of Chad. 'Why does the Lord try to tempt me so?' she thought
It's a crazy world, where everythin's changin'
One minute your up, and the next thing you're breakin'
When I lose my way, and the skies they get heavy
It'll be ok, the moment you're with me
Chad started to head for Taylor's shorts and started to pull them down when Taylor stopped him.
"Chad," Taylor sighed.
"I'm sorry, babe. I was moving too fast, right?" Chad asked.
All Taylor did was nod and sighed onto the couch. Chad kissed her on her neck and worked his way up to her lips.
"I'm…very…sorry…about…that…Ms…Taylor…McKessie," Chad said as he went up her body.
Taylor responded to the kiss and wrapped her arms around his neck. Chad pulled back and looked into her eyes.
"What were we doing down here?" Chad asked, acting like he had amnesia.
"Oh, Chad," Taylor laughed as she pushed him to the other side of the couch. Chad grabbed Taylor and laid her on top of him.
"You know I really love you, right?" Chad said.
"Yeah, I know. I love you too, baby," Taylor replied as she kissed his cheek
-------------------------------------------
"How can you do this to me?" Taylor yells at Chad, "I thought you loved me,"
"You were the one who was all over Donovan," Chad said back.
"I WAS DRUNK! I thought you could have noticed but of course you ran back to your ex-lover," Taylor exclaimes.
"Taylor, it was an accident. She kissed me!"
"Yeah right Chad, how am I supposed to believe that?" Taylor askes him. Chad didn't have an answer; no one did.
Taylor sighed and tears came down her eyes. Chad saw them and he reached to touch them but Taylor moved back.
"You know what? You can forget about our anniversary tomorrow because we're over," Taylor said as she threw down her charm bracelet and her locket. Everyone in the house gasped. No one thought that this was possible. No one but Melody. She looked back at Gabi and mouthed 'I'm sorry' and ran out the door. Chad still stood there in shock. Everyone did. He bent down to pick up the necklace and bracelet. It was the two things that represented their relationship. And now it was ruined. Chad sat on the floor and started to cry.
----------------------------------------------------
"But you always wanted to make love to me and I shouldn't make you wait all the way until we get married," Taylor whined
Chad looked right into her eyes and asked her one last time, "Do you want to do this?"
Taylor thought for a moment. It's like when she stopped to think, the whole world would pause in its place. She thought of how it would be to make love to Chad. She always dreamed of having the chance to ever since they started going out. But whenever they would go at it, she would stop before clothes came off. Now she was scared. Was she ready to make the big sacrifice that might change her and Chad's life. But Chad's always been there for her, he would never leave, right? This is your one in a lifetime chance!! Go for it!! One side of her mind said. But the other side said, Think about the consequences your gonna have. How are you going to tell your parents? What about your abstinence pledge you made in the 8th grade?
Coming back to reality, Taylor had made a decision. She sat up and kissed Chad passionately that left Chad and her out of breath. Her hands went down to her belt buckle and she started to unloose it.
Chad smiled. "Is that a 'yes'?" he asked.
All she did was nod her head and she slipped her pants off. Chad bent down to kiss her and Taylor started to take off Chad's pants. When Taylor took off his pants, Chad slipped the covers over their heads to begin their night's love journey.
No-one would have guessed we'd be standing strong today
Solid as a rock, and perfect in every way
"Chad came over after the party. We had a fight and he had apologized and I accepted. One thing led to another and…." Taylor confessed, "I'm so stupid."
"No you're not, Taylor. Don't say that," Gabriella told her.
"But I'm pregnant, Gabi. I was so dumb not to even realize it," Taylor said.
"You don't know that. These pregnancy tests are only 95 truthful. You might not be pregnant," Gabriella explained.
"You…you think I should go to the doctor?" Taylor asked.
"We'll go to the nurse. She used to be a doctor. Come on, Taylor," Gabriella told her.
------------------------------------------------------
Taylor and Chad looked at the monitor and their jaws dropped.
"Is that..." Chad started.
"Yes, Chad, those are two hearts," Mr. Darnell finished.
"We're having twins? We're having twins. WE'RE HAVING TWINS!!!" Taylor exclaimed, hugging Chad. He hugged back and looked at Taylor.
"I can't believe it. Oh wow! Two babies, are you sure?" Chad questioned.
"Yes, I'm very sure. Congratulations," Mr. Darnell said
---------------------------------------
"OH! So you can worry about her twins and not my child? What happened about Jessica? Did you forget about her?" Melody yelled. Everyone turned to Chad.
Chad, feeling eyes on him, asked, "What are you talking about?"
"Oh don't play dumb with me! Don't you remember 2 summers ago? At my house? We had sex and I landed pregnant. After the baby was born, you didn't want anything with her. I had to care for her for 2 years! 2 years, Chad! And all you can do is be with Taylor and be all supportive of the twins? What about ours, Chad?" Melody explained.
Chad looked dumbfounded but he knew it was the truth. He really did forget about Jessica, him and Melody's child. Taylor looked up at him and got out of his grasp.
"Chad.." Taylor started.
"Taylor, I had forgot. I'm so sorry," Chad said, coming towards her but she pulled away.
"You said this was your first child and it wasn't. You had sex with Melody and you have a child with her. You abandoned the child! How could you?" Taylor yelled. The rest of the gang and the whole cafeteria was in shock.
"Taylor, I'm sorry. I'm sorry I lied to you," Chad confessed.
"Sorry isn't gonna cut it! I...I don't think we should be together anymore," Taylor stuttered.
We are two in a million
We've got all the luck we could be given
If the world should stop, we'll still have each other
And no matter what, we'll be forever as one
Forever as one
"Mom, don't go. I need you," Taylor said, hugging her.
Alyssa smiled, wiping her daughter's tears away, "You'll be…fine. Tell Briana…..I…love her,"
"I love you too, Mom," Taylor cried.
"Give your babies a kiss for me…it's my time now, Taylor. Live life to the fullest and don't ever forget that I love you. Take care of your sister and your children. I love you so much," Ms. McKessie said.
"I love you too," Taylor repeated.
"I'll see your father soon," Ms. McKessie said. She took her last breath and died in her oldest daughter's arms.
Taylor collapsed on top of her mother, tears falling all at once. Her mother, her best friend and her children's grandmother, was gone.
-------------------------------------------------
"Wait!" Taylor called out. Chad turned around and saw her crying. He grew compassionate and sat down next to her.
"Taylor..." Chad softly said.
"I'm sorry. I'm so sorry. This is just so hard on me. I'm all alone now with no parents and everything. Who's gonna see my babies being born? I'm so alone, Chad. I'm so alone," Taylor confessed, hugging him closely.
Chad pulled her back and looked deep into her eyes, "You're never alone. Don't ever say that. You have me, your sister, the gang, and the gang's families. You're never alone, Taylor,"
Taylor smiled and hugged him again. Chad sighed and looked over at the doorway, where the gang all stood. He gave a thumbs up and mouthed 'Go away'. The door was closed instantly.
"And…I guess I can forgive you about your other child," Taylor smiled.
"You can? Really?" Chad asked.
"Yeah…I love you," Taylor told him.
"I love you too," Chad replied, "I've always had,"
They kissed, happy that they are back together again. Chad laid her back on the bed and entered his tongue in her mouth. Taylor moaned at the surprise and kissed back. They pulled back and started to laugh.
-----------------------------------------------------
"Daddy," a small voice said. Taylor and Chad looked at each other, knowing that they didn't say it.
"Who said that?" Taylor asked.
"Daddy," It came from the living room. They got up and walked over to where Jessica was sitting at the tv. She looked up at Chad and pointed, "Daddy,"
Taylor covered her mouth and Chad dropped his jaw. "Did you just call me..."
"Daddy," Jessica said.
"Oh my god, she said her first word!" Taylor squealed. Chad was still in shock.
"She called me daddy," Chad said.
"I know, isn't that amazing, Chad?" Taylor asked, holding his hand.
Chad looked down at his hand and smiled, "Yeah, it is," He leaned in and softly kissed Taylor once more. Taylor responded as he pulled her close.
"Daddy!" Jessica said again.
"I'm coming, Jessy," Chad called out. He rushed over to her and picked her up. Jessica squealed and laughed as he spun her around. Taylor smiled, loving how Chad had his way with children.
"Now who am I?" Chad asked Jessica.
"Daddy!" she said.
"Who am I?" Chad asked again.
"Daddy!!" she laughed.
We are two in a million
We've got all the luck we could be given
If the world should stop, we'll still have each other
And no matter what, we'll be forever as one
Briana also got a cup of water when they both heard a leak fall onto the floor.
"Clean that up, Briana," Taylor ordered.
"Tay, I didn't do that," Briana said.
Taylor pushed off the counter and looked down at herself. In between her legs was a small puddle of water. Taylor grabbed her stomach and fell back onto the nearby chair.
"Oh no," Taylor gasped.
"What's wrong Taylor?" Briana cried.
"Briana, go get Chad," Taylor told her.
"Why? What's going on?" Briana asked.
"The babies are coming," Taylor explained.
We are two in a million
We've got all the luck we could be given
If the world should stop, we'll still have each other
And no matter what, we'll be forever as one
They pulled back from their huge make out session and smiled back at each other. They had went through everything and still stayed together. You could say that they weren't a perfect couple or something that wasn't meant; but if you look at them now, you could say that were only just more than perfect.
"I can't wait to one day spend the rest of my life with you," Taylor sighed.
"I can't wait for senior year! We're gonna rule the school!" Chad shouted as Taylor giggled. He looked back at Taylor and smiled, "and I can't wait for that either...one day,"
Taylor blushed and they held hands once again. She looked down at her watch and saw that it was close to midnight.
"Chad, we have to get back now. School starts tomorrow, remember?" Taylor reminded him.
"That is right," Chad replied. He got up from the grass and helped Taylor onto her feet, "would you like me to walk you home?"
Taylor smiled and leaned up to him, "I would very much like that," He kissed her head and then her lips, softly but romantically. They pulled back and continued their walk back home. Together at last, but now as a family of four.
What could possibly go wrong?
We are two in a million
We've got all the luck we could be given
If the world should stop, we'll still have each other
And no matter what, we'll be forever as
No matter what, we'll be forever as
No matter what, we'll be forever as one
