Things went back to normal when Cappie and I returned to school. I yelled at Evan for giving me a mini heart attack and then calmed down, telling him that I was just scared but I thanked him for making me go back home. Heath stayed over at the apartment a lot and Chase was happy now that I was back with Connor.

I got caught up in all my classes and by the time Sarah and Caleb's Christmas wedding came around, I was ready to go back. Heath told me he'd still watch after Chase for me and when I asked if he was going home, he just said that his parents were not going to be home. I nodded, hugged him, and left with Cappie and Connor.

The flight didn't take very long and when we walked out of the airport, my brother and best friend were waiting for me.

"About damn time." Reid said with a smirk.

"Bite me." I stuck my tongue out at him and hugged Brooke. When I pulled back, I examined the small baby bump she had gotten.

"Oh wow Brookie, you're getting big." I told her.

"I am not." Brooke said pouting.

"You're still as beautiful as ever." Reid said as he pulled Brooke back to him and kissed her temple. Brooke smiled and leaned back into him.

"Okay, I'm sick now. Can we go home?" I asked. Reid groaned as Brooke pulled away and got into the passenger seat. Cappie threw our bags into the trunk and then helped me buckle Connor into the seat as Reid drove away.

"So I saw the dresses that Sarah got for us." I spoke up. "I so approve." Sarah had sent me pictures of the dress she picked out for me, an emerald green haltercrinkle chiffon with ruched bodice and cascade front.

"Yeah, we're sure we got your size." Brooke said, turning around in her seat to look at me. By the look on her face, I knew she meant that the once I tried it on, if it was too big I could Use to make it my size.

"Alright, good because we don't have time to alter it." I said with a nod. We arrived at the Garwin house and Brooke took Connor while Cappie and Reid got the bags. They carried them upstairs while Brooke and I retreated into the living room with Connor.

"He's really getting big." Brooke told me as Connor sat up by himself and reached for a toy.

"Yeah, I know. It's starting to scare me a little." I told her honestly. It was scaring me how quick my son was growing up, he was already eight months old. Soon he was going to get his powers and I would have to tell him the truth about his father.

"I can't wait until my little boy is born." Brooke said, placing her hands on her stomach. "Three more months to go."

"I'm so gonna be here when he's born." I said, hugging her.

"You know." Brooke said as we pulled apart. "Julie's due next month."

"That's good for her." I said, showing no hurt.

"I didn't know if you wanted to be there or not." Brooke said.

"Why would I want to be?" I asked. "I mean, Tyler is mad at me and I'm sure Julie doesn't like me."

"But he's another son." Brooke told me. "According to Reid, it's like tradition to be there."

"Well then I have a month to decide." I said as Reid and Cappie came downstairs.

"It's late." Reid said.

"Connor should probably get to sleep." Cappie said.

"Would you mind putting him down?" I asked him. "I'll be right up."

"Alright." Cappie kissed me and picked up Connor before retreating to my room.

"How's he been?" I asked when Cappie was out of sight.

"He's really being forced to realize that Julie is not you." Reid answered. "Especially since she's due next month."

"Sounds lovely." I rolled my eyes.

"He's been upset since you left on fighting terms." Reid told me.

"Well he shouldn't have kissed me." I told him. "And taunted me about it at the wedding."

"He taunted you about it?" Brooke asked.

"It was nothing." I told her. "I think I'm gonna go to bed though." I got up, hugged them both and walked to my room where Cappie was stripping down into his boxers.

"He asleep that fast?" I asked.

"Yeah, he must've been tired." Cappie told me. I changed into a pair of shorts and a tank before crawling into bed beside him. "You alright?" He asked, brushing my hair back.

"I'm fine." I nodded. "Just tired too, I guess."

"This has nothing to do about Tyler's baby?" Cappie asked. I looked up to meet his gaze and watched him sigh. "I overheard you and Brooke talking."

"It's just…" I looked down. "We've had this whole tradition thing since the sixteen hundreds. When a new child is born, all of the families are to be there." I explained as well as I could without giving away our secret. "Since I'm fighting with Ty and I'm sure Julie doesn't like me, I don't know if I want to go."

"Sometimes traditions are meant to be broken." Cappie told me. I was the prime example of that, the only daughter to be born into the covenant. I didn't want to break tradition again but I couldn't be there. "Just relax and get some sleep." I nodded against his chest and fell into a peaceful sleep.

The next morning was very hectic. The guys were again getting ready at Caleb's house and the girls were getting ready at mine. Cappie was waiting downstairs with Connor and my aunt Janice while we all ran around upstairs getting ready. After doing my hair and make-up, I pulled on my dress and found it to almost be perfect, just a little too big in the waist. My eyes flashed black as the dress began to shrink in size around my waist. I looked up at Sarah and smiled as she looked herself over. Her gown had thick straps and small diamonds around her midsection. She looked like an ice princess, especially with the diamonds in her hair. I had helped her with that little part, deciding that I had enough power to spare. We walked downstairs where Aunt Janice, Cappie, and my mother were sitting.

"The Limo just got here." Kate said as the limo driver came up to the door.

"Your limo awaits Ms. Wenham." the man said as he led us outside. We took a few photos before getting in.

"This is so awesome." I smiled as we listened to Dance Floor Anthem by Good Charlotte.

"Yeah, you're getting married to Caleb." Kate said, nudging her.

"That was supposed to be me." I pouted. They all looked at me confused and I told them the story about when I went to hang out with Caleb one day and Pogue and Ty told us to just get married so I told him we were gonna. They just laughed at my story and we started singing again to all the different songs that began playing.

We pulled up to a different Church in Boston, but it wasn't any less beautiful than the one from Kate and Pogue's wedding. We walked inside and met up with Sarah's father who would be walking her down the aisle.

"Sarah, you look beautiful." her father told her with tears in his eyes.

"Thanks." Sarah said, starting to tear as well.

"We're ready for you now." Sarah's mom said before walking back into the other room to take her seat. We all let out a breath and started walking out one by one to meet up with the guys. Just like at Kate's wedding, all the guys had vests matching our dresses.

"You look so very presentable Caleb." I said with a smile as Kate and Sarah walked down. I stood there smiling as Caleb and Sarah recited their wedding vows, Caleb with his ever present Caleb smile firmly in place. When the usher told Caleb to kiss the bride, he did so willingly, kissing Sarah with more passion than I'd ever seen him do so before. Caleb and Sarah walked down the aisle, followed by Kate and Pogue, then Tyler and me. I felt very wrong touching him again but I knew that once I got down the aisle, there would be a few pictures taken, the limo ride, the introduction, dance and then I wouldn't have to touch him the rest of the night. Once I was down the aisle, I broke away and stood close to Brooke who had her hand placed over her stomach.

"You couldn't get married before I had this?" Brooke complained.

"Sorry Brookes." Sarah said, giving a small frown. As everyone emptied out of the church, we all went back in to take pictures. Cappie stayed behind the camera man again, finding that I needed him to keep me smiling. He made funny faces and gestures toward the photographer that make me crack up every time.

"You seem to be very happy Haley." the photographer told me.

"Yeah. I'm just happy my Cay got married." I said through laughs. Cappie was still making faces the whole time. Once we were done, we all went back to the limo and Cappie popped the champagne like Pogue had those months before, this time Brooke didn't get any. We sang along to the radio all the way to the reception hall, laughing as we told small stories in between.

The reception hall was beautiful, it was smaller than Kate and Pogue's, only seating about one hundred people and there was a big chandelier above the dance floor.

"You guys picked a wonderful place." I told them as we walked into another room so we could make our entrance just like had Pogue and Kate's wedding. A man who introduced himself as Jacob told us to wait for cues before walking out into the grand room. Jacob told everyone to take their seats before calling us out again. I took Tyler's arm and walked out into the room with him while everyone around us smiled. I wished that I could be as happy as they were. When Sarah and Caleb walked into the room, everyone started clapping and cheering as they both smiled and blushed. We settled down at the table and started with dinner. Again I was happy that Cappie was seated at the table right in front of me. He talked with my mother during the meal while I talked to Brooke and Kate.

"So have you and Cappie done anything yet?" Kate questioned with a smirk.

"Shut up." I said, lightly pushing her. "But no, we haven't."

"Why not?" Brooke and Kate both asked.

"Because Connor's in my room and that would just be weird." 'Not to mention Chase.' I said the last part to myself.

"Then ask someone to watch him for a night." Brooke said.

"I can't. I mean, I'm kinda scared to keep him away for too long, especially when I'm at school." I started. "He's the only thing from home that I have left when I'm there."

"But for one night Hales." Kate said.

"I know you need some lovin." Brooke said nudging me. The three of us started laughing at that. After dinner, Kate and Pogue made their speeches about Caleb and Sarah. They were both short and full of mild laughter. When I was handed the microphone, I smiled evilly.

"I've known Cay since birth and Sarah since she transferred here last year." I started. "Both of them have been very close to my hearts and I have so much dirt on them, I could probably write a more popular series that J.K. Rowling." That one got a laugh. "When Sarah first came out here, you could tell that she and Caleb were meant to be. They just seemed to click automatically and Kate and I were already planning their wedding." more laughter. "And I remember when Caleb and I were just about seven…" Caleb groaned, and looked down, shaking his head. "Oh, you knew I'd be telling this on your wedding day so I don't wanna hear it." I took a breath before continuing. "I went over to his house to watch television with the others, but Reid had to stay behind and clean his room."

"It was clean!" Reid yelled from the other side of the table, making me laugh.

"I walked into the living room and hugged both Pogue and Tyler and as I went to sit down next to them on the floor, Caleb pulled me down to the couch with him. He told me he wanted to sit by me. I laughed and hugged him, telling him that I loved him when Pogue said…" I continued.

"If you love him so much, why don't you marry him?" Pogue filled in with a smirk.

"And so I told him that Caleb and I were now married and when Caleb gave me that 'ew, cooties' look and told me we were too young, I told him that we would get married when we got really old, like…" I paused for a moment.

"Ten." Caleb filled in.

"But we didn't get married, Sarah stole my Cay's heart." I said sadly, adding a sigh at the end. Everyone laughed and clapped.

"Caleb, you were gonna marry my sister?!" Reid yelled. Apparently, we never really told Reid that story.

"Well, ya see, about that…" Caleb started.

"You were going to marry my baby sister and now even tell me or ask my permission?" Reid asked, standing up.

"Down boy." I said, pointing a finger at him. By now, everyone was laughing at the little show going on.

"But he…" Reid started.

"No buts, now sit down." Reid pouted but took his seat again. Caleb stood up and walked over to me, giving me a warm hug.

"I love you Hales." Caleb told me.

"If you love me so much, why don't you marry me?" I shot back, causing us both to laugh. I sat back down and listened to everyone else gave their speeches. When Reid gave his, he talked about how he should beat Caleb for even thinking about marrying me, and made a move to but Tyler and Pogue stopped him. I rolled my eyes at my brother but in the end, I could see he was joking, trying to make a scene. After all the speeches, Sarah and Caleb made their way over to the dance floor for their first dance as husband and wife. Hey There Delilah by the Plain White T's.

"Pay it ho." I said, holding my hand out to Brooke who pouted and pulled out a twenty.

"Damnit." Brooke muttered as she slipped it into my hand.

"You bet on her song?" Kate asked. "How come I wasn't involved in this?"

"Because I didn't want to take a twenty from a newly wed mother." I told her with a smirk as I put the twenty into my purse. I watched with a smile as Caleb and Sarah continued dancing and met Cappie's eye a few times and blushed. They then called out to the entire wedding party and I walked to the dance floor with Tyler and put my arms around his neck as he put his on my waist. The song Far Away by Nickelback started playing and I swore to Caleb in my mind.

"So Julie's having her baby next month." Tyler told me.

"Yeah, I know. Brooke told me." I said dismissively.

"I was hoping you could come out for the birth." Tyler said.

"I'll have to see." I said, looking past him at Cappie who was trying to force smile at my close proximity to Tyler.

"Come on Hales, don't do that." Tyler pleaded.

"I'm sorry Tyler but after what happened…" I started.

"It's tradition Haley. And I'm so sorry about what happened." Tyler told me.

"Well I don't think Princess Julie would want me there." I told him.

"What has Julie done to you?" Tyler asked.

"Besides stealing the man that I loved and giving me dirty looks every chance she gets, nothing." I said bitterly. As it was, behind Tyler Julie was giving me looks while holding onto her stomach.

"She does not give you dirty looks" Tyler defended Julie.

"Yeah she does give me looks Tyler, you should just pay attention some time." I told him.

"Well what about Cappie?" Tyler asked.

"He doesn't give you dirty looks. He's worried about me getting hurt again and he knows about you kissing me." I explained. "He's just scared for me."

"I wouldn't hurt you Hales." Tyler told me.

"Well that's kind of hard to believe considering that you have numerous times." I said.

"And you think that you didn't hurt me?" Tyler asked. "When you left, you don't think that hurt? I didn't know where you were going, if you'd come back. And then when you do, you're with Cappie."

"And you have a five month pregnant girl so I don't want to hear it." I snapped before sighing. "I knew that me being gone would hurt but I thought it would be for the best, so I could clear my head."

"But you didn't even Use Hales." He told me. "We could all feel it, you never Used. We thought you were dead until you showed up."

"I thought it would be better and easier if I disappeared but I came back, didn't I?" I asked.

"A few months too late." Tyler said sadly.

"Well I'm sorry you decided to drink yourself silly, alright." I snapped and then looked down.

"Just please come." Tyler pleaded. "I really want you to be there when Travis is born."

"Travis?" I asked him.

"I picked that one, Julie thought it was nice." Tyler said. "You're the only one who knows the name."

"Wow." I said, looking up at him. He just gave me a sad smile as the song ended.

"Well, time to go back." Tyler said, releasing me. I released him as well and walked over to Cappie, taking the seat that my mother had vacated.

"So what did you guys talk about." Cappie asked.

"He wants me to come back out here for the birth." I told him.

"So are you going to?" He asked.

"Probably, I don't know." I said, looking down. "Tyler wants me there but I know Julie doesn't. I don't know Cap."

"Well you have a month to decide." He told me. I nodded and decided that it was time to dance. I pulled him out of his seat and over to the dance floor where everyone had started dancing to Paralyzer by Finger Eleven. I swayed to the music with Cappie, smiling the whole time.

"Mind if I steal her away?" Caleb asked.

"Not at all." Cappie said, giving me away to Caleb before stealing Sarah. Caleb and I danced to Worlds Away by From First to Last as we discussed our marriage plans from years ago.

"You know, we would've made a great couple." I told him.

"Probably." Caleb shrugged. "But Reid probably would've killed me."

"Nah. He just likes to make a scene." I said, looking over to where Brooke and Reid were dancing.

"Yeah, but didn't seem like he was completely joking." Caleb said.

"That's because Reid don't like you." I said with a laugh.

"That's true." Caleb agreed with a laugh of his own.

"Mine now." Reid said, pulling me away from Caleb when the song changed to Ready, Set, Go by Tokyo Hotel.

"Rude much?" I asked.

"How come I didn't know about your plans?" Reid asked me.

"Because it was a joke and it was Pogue's idea." I said loud enough for Pogue to hear. He turned to me and looked defensive.

"Hey, you were the one who said you loved him." He told me. Kate rolled her eyes and turned Pogue's attention back to her.

"See, his fault." I told him.

"And you didn't tell me. Your own brother." Reid said pouting. I rolled my eyes and lightly hit him so he was dancing again. A man came by with two shot glasses, hanging one to me and one to Reid.

"Not again Re." I told him.

"Hey, it's only Hpnotiq and it's only one shot." Reid said. I looked around and saw Caleb, Sarah, Pogue, Kate, Cappie, and Tyler all receive their own and look over at my brother and me. We silently raised our glasses and kicked back the strong liquor.

"God you are so stupid." I told him as the man took our glasses and walked away.

"You know you loved it." Reid said, making me roll my eyes.

"Now that he's had his shot." Brooke started. "Can I have him back?"

"Take him." I said, lightly pushing Reid toward her and found Cappie behind me. We swayed as more and more songs played, I didn't want to leave his arms.

"It's time to go." Cappie whispered. I looked around and found that pretty much everyone was gone and it was two a.m.

"Yeah, I think it is." I said. I walked over to my friends, hugged them all goodbye, gave a small wave to Tyler, and left with Cappie. It didn't take long to get back home but once we did, we went into my room, quickly got changed and fell asleep. We stayed all through Christmas before heading back home.


Kind of rushed but I wanted to get this up tonight. Tried to get this up earlier but fanfiction was being mean to me lol And the reason that Tokyo Hotel is in their randomly is because when I was writing that part, the song came on so i was like "ok" And I will write a Chrismas chapter seperate from this story probably next week.

Tell me what you think
