Suite Life: Next Generation: Season 2:

Chapter 43: "Welcome Home Old Friends"

Two days later, Friday October 19th, 2029, Paislee is almost 32 weeks pregnant, right now she is still 31 weeks pregnant, while Anna and Cassie are now 16 weeks pregnant, almost 17 weeks pregnant.

Paislee and Justin came home yesterday, picked up the girls and headed home. They had a great time in Hawaii, but missed their girls.

Boston, Massachusetts, Cailey's house, there was a knock on the door and Bailey opened the door and saw 4 people standing there. Two teenagers and their parents. It took Bailey a few minutes to know who was there.

Woody and Addison! Of course! She smiled and hugged Addison.

"Addie!"

Addison smiled as she hugged her back. "Bailey! I missed you! How have you been?"

Addison smiled while s. "Woody and I got married, and we have three children now!" She smiled at her oldest daughter, Maybel. "This is my oldest daughter, Maybel Roseanna Fink."

Maybel smiled, popping her gum. "Hi Bailey. I'm Maybel, I like when people call me May."

Bailey smiled. "Hi May."

Addison and Woody's second oldest spoke up. "I'm Hayden. Hayden Brayden Fink." He smiled at her. "Nice to meet you, Bailey."

Their youngest looked at Bailey. "I'm Mirabel. I like people calling me Mira. My full name is Mirabel Isabella Fink."

Bailey could see that all three looked like Woody and Addison. She was so happy for them. It's too bad she couldn't be there for their wedding and their children's births.

After high school, Woody and Addison traveled around the world and after traveling for a good 4 years, they settled down. In 2014, their oldest, Maybel was born, then in 2016, her brother, Hayden, and then in 2015, their sister was born.

Woody and Addison were living in California until it was time to reconnect with their friends. Maybel is 16 years old now, Haden is 14 years old and Mirabel is 13 years old.

Woody and Addison now bought a house in Boston, Massachusetts by Cailey and Zaya's, a good 30 minutes away from each couple's houses.

Bailey smiled at them as she let them inside.

Meanwhile, at Cole and Macy's, Macy and Cole just put the twins down for another nap. Macy was in the living room and finishing her lunch when Cole walked back downstairs.

"Hey Mace."

Macy smiled at her boyfriend. He was one hot guy, amazing guy, so sweet guy. How could he want to be with her? Because he loves her. Without him, she couldn't do any of this.

"Hey. How's our babies?"

Cole smiled. "Our babies are asleep. They fast asleep in their cribs."

Macy smiled. "Sounds good." She looked at him. "Hey, what time is it?"

Cole looked at his watch on his wrist. "12:30. You hungry?"

Macy nodded her head. "Yeah, I am."

Cole smiled. "Well, I can't have my baby girl hungry, finish eating."

Macy laughed. "I will."

Cole sat next to her. "With having the babies, how are you feeling with having them here?"

Macy sighed. How was she supposed to feel? She was a mother at 16, no time for anything, only taking care of her twins, school, eating, sleeping a few hours at night, showering, and boy, she would be exhausted at the end of the day. She thought about Ryan. Ryan? Haven't seen him in months, he doesn't want anything to do with Rayleigh and Bradin. And as much she hated him, and she really hated him, it still hurt inside. Ryan could give a damn about his children, even though, Cole treats them as his own, Ryan was their biological father. And where was he? Who know where? She couldn't help but think this was her fault. Was it? No. It wasn't, it was Ryan's. He was the one who did this to her. He was the one who left, everything was his fault. Macy just looked at Cole who was looking at her with a questionable look on his face.

"Mace?"

Macy snapped out of her thoughts, she sure thought about them a lot. "Um…Sorry. I was thinking of something."

Cole looked at her, she really seemed out of it, with something on her mind. "What about?"

Macy sighed. "Everything...Ryan, the twins, me, you, my life, your life…"

Cole grabbed her hand. "Mace, you have nothing to worry about. Macy Michelle, you know that I love you, I've always loved you. From day one, I knew you were gorgeous, beautiful, and you are an amazing mother, daughter and girlfriend." He squeezed her hand slightly when Macy teared up. "Yeah, my life has changed from being with you, but it changed for the better. You don't need to be sorry because of you getting pregnant…"

Macy cut him off, wiping her eyes. "Yes, I do! You are such an amazing guy, Cole, and I ended up pregnant! With twins, I never wanted to have you change your life because of me! I'm such a slut!"

Cole pulled her close to him. "Hey, woah, since when were you a slut? You only slept with one guy, you're not a slut, Macy. I would understand if you slept with more than just one guy, but you didn't." He kissed her head. "I changed my life for you, because I love you, Mace. If I didn't love you, do you think I'd be here for you?"

Macy shook her head. "No, you wouldn't...Okay, I see what you're saying…" She gave a small smile.

Cole smiled. "There's the smile I love."

Macy hugged him tightly, wrapping her arms around his neck. "Thank you for being here for me."

Cole kissed her head again. "You're welcome."

Meanwhile, at Zack and Maya's, Anna decided to visit and take her sister's out for lunch, Cassidy, Alli and Nikki.

She had her daughter Chelsea with her as well, Chelsea who was now 7 years old.

Chelsea smiled at her mother. "I'm excited, Mom."

Anna smiled. "Me too, baby girl."

Cassidy opened the door when Anna knocked. "Hey!"

Anna smiled. "Hey Cass."

Chelsea smiled. "Hi Aunt Cassie."

Cassidy smiled. She yelled from Nikki and Alli. "Alli! Nikki!"

The two girls headed downstairs. "Hi Anna. Hey Chels."

Chelsea smiled. "Hi!"

Anna hugged her sisters. "Let"s go into my car and head somewhere."

Nikki looked her oldest sister. "Where are we going?"

"Anywhere you guys want to go."

Cassidy paused to think. "Mall?"

Anna, Chelsea, and Nikki and Alli all modded. "Yeah. Let's go!"

So, soon Anna, Cassidy, Chelsea and Alli and Nikki got into Anna's car and they headed off to the mall.

Back at Cailey's, Addison, Woody and their three children, Maybel, Hayden and Mirabel had met Shaylee, Marcy, Jamie, Charlie and Abby.

Shaylee was talking with Maybel. "So, you are from California?"

Maybel smiled and nodded. "Yep. You are Stephen's fiancé?"

Shaylee nodded. "Yeah, he's actually overseas."

Maybel sighed. "I'm sorry about that."

Shaylee sighed, smiling. "It's okay, Maybel. I got used to it already. I do miss him though."

Maybel nodded. "I bet you do. I'm sure Marcy misses him too."

Shaylee smiled. "She does. Very much."

Marcy ran over to her mother. "Momma!"

Shaylee picked up Marcy. "What, baby girl?"

Marcy hugged her and smiled. "Who's that?"

Maybel smiled at her as she looked at the little girl. "I'm Maybel."

Marcy giggled. "Hi, I'm Marcy!"

Shaylee put Marcy down and smiled. "Go play with Maddie and Kayla, okay?"

"Okay!" She ran over to Maddie and Kayla.

Meanwhile, with Cailey and Addison and Woody, they were in the kitchen talking.

Addison hugged Bailey. "Stephen is overseas, huh?"

Bailey nodded her head. Tears filled her eyes, she didn't want to wipe them yet. "Yeah, I miss him so much. He's my baby."

Addison looked at her as she hugged her. "Oh, Bails, don't cry, he's tough, I know that for sure!"

Bailey sighed. "He has a young daughter, Addie! I don't want Marcy growing up without a father!"

Addison knew that was the truth. They just don't want Shaylee raising Marcy alone and Marcy not knowing her father. Stephen knows this is hard for them all as much it is for him.

"I know you don't, Bailey, but the truth is that, you really can't plan what happens with Stephen."

Bailey wiped her eyes after pulling away from Addison. "I know, Addie…"

Addison smiled slightly. "You're doing so well, though. Handling all of this isn't easy, I can't imagine how this is for all of you…"

"It's hell, Addie, and then sometimes, it's amazing that he's serving our country."

Addison gave a smile. "Think of the positive, Bails. He's strong. He'll come home safely."

Bailey nodded. "I know he will."

Meanwhile, across the county, in Iraq, Stephen and his friends, Chloe, Leslie, Linsey, Wesley, Steve and Devin were fighting the other country. Stephen was now up in the air in a plane, fighting from the air, it wasn't a pretty sight. Guns shooting, fire on the ground, people getting shot, blood everywhere. Stephen then landed the plane, starting to fight from the ground. He sure missed his family. He missed everything. This is going to be the first year of holidays that he's not going to be there. He wanted to be home, but he had a duty to his country. Stephen shot his enemy and ran off to a safe spot and saw Leslie ready to shoot.

"Hold fire, it's me."

Leslie nodded. "Sorry." She looked out before running off and Stephen did the same.

A few minutes later, Stephen felt something hot shoot through his body, it felt like it was on fire. His body just stood there in shock before everything went black. His eyes closed, everything was dark, he didn't see anything.

*Stephen's thoughts*

I was running around when I felt something shoot through my body. It felt hot, it hurt like hell, it felt like I was on fire. I heard faint screaming, I knew something wasn't right. I then realized that I was shot. Am I dead? Please, I can't be dead. I have a young daughter and a fiancé and a family and friends who need me. Someone was carrying me and they were running, I felt everything. I teared up as my eyes were shut tight, not wanting to see what was going on. I then felt someone shaking me. My eyes were still shut tight. I could still hear the yelling and screaming.

*End of Stephen's thoughts*

The doctor looked over at his nurse. "He's still breathing, very small pulse, though! Get me my things, this kid has a gunshot wound in his chest!" He sighed. "He doesn't have much time to live!"

While, the doctor in Iraq was taking care of Stephen, in the U.S, Boston, Massachusetts, Anna, Cassidy, Nikki, Alli and Chelsea were at the mall when they saw Lizzie and Charissa, Aliyah, and Faith.

Anna smiled. "Hey Lizzie."

Lizzie smiled as she saw Anna. "Hey, how's everything?"

"Everything's great, I'm expecting again."

Lizzie smiled. "Congratulations, that's great!"

Anna grinned. "Thank you."

Charissa looked at Chelsea and hugged her. "Hi Chelsea!"

Chelsea hugged her back. "Hi!"

Lizzie looked at the girls. "Hey, I think we should get the girls together someday again."

Anna nodded. "Sounds good to me. Aren't you and Matt deciding on having Charissa at the same school as Chelsea?"

Lizzie nodded happily. "We are. Charissa doesn't like her school anymore."

Anna smiled. "Well, if you have any kind of trouble, let me know my husband and Dad can help."

Lizzie nodded. "Thanks. Come on, Chars."

Charissa nodded as she followed her mother.

As Anna was heading to her car with her daughter, Alli, Nikki, and Cassidy, she heard her phone running. She picked up as she got into the car.

'Hello?" She could only make out a few words. "Alright, Mom, I'll be there as soon as possible!"

Cassidy looked archer sister. "What's wrong?"

Anna sighed, tears came to her eyes. "Stephen was shot…"

Alli spoke up before Cassidy could. "No, be serious!"

Nikki looked at her sister. "Who the hell could not be serious when it comes to stuff like that, Allison?! She's serious!"

As Anna was driving to Cailey's, everyone was there for Cody, Bailey, Paislee, Macy, Abby, Charlie, Meggie and Jamie and Shaylee and Marcy.

Shaylee was heartbroken. What if he doesn't make it out of this? She would be a single mother at 18, their daughter, their one year old daughter wouldn't even get to know her father. She was only one year old. She was too young. Shaylee cuddled up against the couch as she cried uncontrollably.

Bailey sat down next to her. "Shay…"

Shaylee lifted her head up and looked at her future mother in-law. "Hi…"

Bailey grabbed her hand and squeezed her hand slightly. "How are you holding up?"

Shaylee couldn't help but cry a little bit more before pulling herself together. "It hurts like hell, I love him, Bailey! I know you're his mother, your love is totally different, but my love for him was….amazing, joyful, and everything in between. He is a great father and fiancé...I can't imagine my life without him! He was there through everything, my pregnancy, my parents divorce, raising Marcy, being here for her...and now, I don't even know if he's gonna be here for her...I can't raise Marcy on my own…"

Bailey pulled Shaylee into a tight hug. "Shay, I know, but no matter what happens, Cody and I are here for you...I miss him too, I don't want to see him go...He's my baby…"

Shaylee nodded. "I know...I know I should be strong for Marcy, but she's not going to love this either…"

Bailey sighed. "None of us are liking this, but we need to be strong as a family…"

Shaylee looked at her. "But I'm not related…"

Bailey gave a small smile. "Oh, please, Shaylee Marie, you were my daughter after you and my son started dating, and after Marcy was born, you are more my daughter than ever, I love you as you were my blood daughter."

Shaylee wiped her eyes and laughed slightly. "Thanks, Bailey."

Bailey kissed her head. "I'll leave you alone to talk to Marcy."

Shaylee nodded and then took a deep breath. Marcy isn't going to like this. She was Stephen's little girl. This is going to kill her. That little girl is going to be crushed. "Marcs, come here, Mommy needs to talk to you…"

Marcy walked over to her mother, Shaylee helped her up onto the couch.

"What is it, Mommy?"

Shaylee sighed. "Mommy needs to tell you something. Look, baby…" Shaylee layed Marcy into her lap.

"You know Daddy's away?"

Marcy nodded, but when she saw the hurt in Shaylee's eyes, the little girl knew something was wrong.

"Momma, what's wrong with Daddy?" Tears came to her eyes.

Shaylee took another deep breath. "Daddy isn't doing too well, baby girl, he was fighting and he was shot...The doctors don't know if he'll make it…"

Marcy didn't know what to say, she just started to cry into her mother's shoulder. It took her a little bit before she looked up at her mother. "But, Daddy's tough, right?"

Shaylee nodded her head. "I'm sure he's fighting for his life now, baby. All of us have to be strong too. You remember what I told you when Daddy first left?"

Marcy nodded. "You said that Daddy is tough, strong and brave, and we have to be to here. Daddy loves us no matter what happens."

Shaylee nodded her head as she kissed her baby's head. "That's right."

"I love you, Mommy…" Marcy snuggled close to Shaylee.

"I love you too, baby girl." She kissed both of her cheeks. "One from me and the other from Daddy."

Marcy smiled slightly. "Thank you, Mommy."

"You're welcome, baby."

While everyone in Boston were there for Cailey, Paislee, Macy, Charlie, Abby, Meggie, Jamie and Shaylee and Marcy, in Iraq, Stephen was in a hospital bed, unconscious, in a coma. His friends were there, making sure he was alright, but it wasn't a pretty sight. He had a tube down his throat, scars, and a heart that was fixed almost an hour ago.

Leslie looked at Lesley, who was her long lost sister. "He's tough, I know that for sure!"

Lesley nodded. "He is. Thank God for that."

Devin looked at them both. "When do you think he'll wake up?"

Leslie looked at him. "He just had surgery an hour ago, I don't know if he'll wake up anytime soon, Devin. We just have to be strong."

Devin nodded his head. "Okay…"

*Stephen's thoughts*

I was now awake, but I wasn't in a hospital bed. Where am I? I started walking towards something, it was an older woman. I shut my eyes tightly, though.

She then called my name.

"Stephen, you can open your eyes, it's okay…"

I sighed. "Am I dead?" I asked while shaking a bit.

She shook her head. "No, you're not dead, sweetheart. But you were very close to being dead."

I just looked at her with confusion all over my face. "Where am I? Who are you?"

Mimi smiled. "I'm your father's grandmother."

I sighed, but gave a small smile. "You're my great grandmother?"

Mimi laughed. "Yes, I am. Now, you need to go home, sweetheart, you have a family who need you…"

I took a breath. "I don't know how, I know I have a family who need me, I sure miss everyone."

She smiled. "I'm sure Shaylee misses you…"

I just looked at her in shock. "How did you know her name?"

Mimi laughed. "You don't think we just sit up here do nothing? We have been watching you for years, Stephen."

"You have?" I asked.

"Oh yeah, we saw everything, expect some things…"

I blushed. "Oh…"

Mimi laughed. "Oh don't be shy, sweetie, it's normal. You do have a daughter and a fiancé, they are so beautiful, you should be very lucky."

I smiled. "I am. I love my girls, I sure miss them…"

"They miss you too, Stephen, that's why you need to go back."

I sighed. "Before I go, could you tell my great grandpa, I love him."

Charlie walked over. "Oh, please, let me hear it for myself."

I gave a smile. "You're my Dad's grandfather? My brother is named after you!"

Charlie laughed. "I know he is, Stephen. I am your father's grandfather."

I smiled again. "I love you guys...It's time for me to go…"

They smiled. "Bye, Stephen. We love you."

I finally opened my eyes.

*End of Stephen's thoughts*

Stephen smiled as he opened his eyes, seeing his friends there. He couldn't say anything.

Wesley ran to go get the doctor when he saw Stephen was up. He had made it through all of that.

The doctor looked at the friends. "Could you guys go wait in the waiting room? I'll be there soon."

They nodded and headed off to the waiting room.

Forty-five minutes later, Stephen was now in recovery. He sighed out of relief. He was going to be okay. He made it.

Later that day, in U.S, Boston, Massachusetts, Macy and Cole headed home with the twins since it was past their bedtime. Once inside, Macy layed her son and daughter down for bed. She shut the light and then headed downstairs with the baby monitor in her hand when she heard the door being knocked on. She looked at Cole.

"At this hour?" She walked downstairs and slowly opened the door. Her eyes went wide. There he was. Standing right in front of her. Her ex-boyfriend. Her twin's biological father. She just stood there in her shock. First Stephen and now this.

"Ryan? What are you doing here?"

To be continued…

AN: Hey! I'm back. Sorry I took so long, I went to my aunt and uncle's, spent the night twice and went on their boat twice. My uncle also had an extra iPad, so he gave the one he doesn't use, I've been using it for the past two days. I wrote this whole thing on my iPad in one day. It's easier I guess. A whole lot bigger.

Yes, Stephen was shot, he's very much alive. Thank. Goodness. For. That.

And yes, Ryan's back! Cliffhanger!

Drama is in the next chapter so stay turned.

P.S: Drama is coming next chapter! Lol.

Okay, I better end it here. I love you guys for being so patient!
