…
"Okay, Anthony, here comes to choo-choo train." Cat said sweetly to her 6 month old son in his blue high chair and he was giggling at his mother's funny faces. "Choo-choo, into the tunnel." Cat swooped the tiny baby spoonful of baby food into Anthony's mouth carefully and then brought it out when he had it in his mouth. "Yay, Anthony! Good boy!" She smiled and kissed his head as he squealed in happiness and clapped his hands. "You're so handsome! Just like your daddy!"
"Eh, Beck's not all that hot anymore." A voice said, coming into the kitchen where Cat and Anthony were eating breakfast. "What's up, Cat?" Jade said as she set her purse on a chair and then went up to Anthony. "Hey, my nephew! Eating breakfast?" She cooed somewhat nicely to the infant, who raised an eyebrow at her. He wasn't used to her being this nice either… "What, kid? Have a problem with the way I feel right now?"
Cat blinked. "Uh, Jade, are you alright?"
"Sure." Jade mumbled as she shrugged her shoulders and grabbed a Smirnoff out of the fridge. "Andre and I broke up again."
"AGAIN?" Cat looked to her, missing Anthony's mouth and accidently had the food spread on his cheek. "Oops! Sorry, baby boy."
"Nice aiming." Jade said sarcastically before sighing. "Yes, again. I told him I didn't want to get married to him and he flipped out on me, saying I'll never change."
Cat looked shocked. "Jade, why don't you want to get married? I don't understand. You and Andre are in love. Just like Beck and I are."
"No." Jade shook her head. "After everything you and Beck have been through, damn, no one is as in love as you two. You make a valid point though, but Andre doesn't get it. He won't' listen to me. I don't want to get married because I love him."
Cat looked confused. "You lost me."
Even Anthony looked confused as he mumbled a tiny noise. "La…"
Jade rolled her eyes, but sighed. "I don't want to lose him in a divorce, which we'll eventually get."
"Says who?" Cat screeched. "Jade, you're not making any sense! If you love someone, as deeply as I know you love Andre, then you know you'll be with them forever! You won't lose Andre. He loves you."
"Ugh, you don't get it either!" Jade growled. "Cat, do you understand how many times Andre and I cheat on each other? Before we broke up the first time and now we still do! It's the alcohol and the guys that get me! It's the heartbroken feelings he gets when I drink and insult him and then he goes and cheats on me, mostly with Vega! I can't do this!"
Cat was speechless.
"So when I slept with Robbie to get back at Andre for sleeping with Vega, he snapped and said that we should get married so we don't cheat on each other, but I told him I can't help, but cheat!" Jade explained in an aggravated tone. "It makes no sense, that's true, but to me it does! Andre and I have a sick love story and can't stop! Every time we admit to cheating, we get pissed at each other, I thorw things at him, he calls me a slut and hoe, and then we make violent, crazy love. And then we start back all over again. It's a circle of life. BUT I like it that way! I love the crazy, violent lifestyle we are in! He doesn't! He wants to get married so we don't have to go through that almost every day! We're two totally different people who want different things! I want drama and violence! Andre wants stability and marriage! NOT HAPPENING!"
Cat's head was spinning, as Anthony blinked at his aunt. "La…la…"
Jade groaned. "Great. Even the kid thinks I'm crazy."
"Let's start this over again." Cat put Anthony's food away and wiped the baby's mouth. "Jade, yes, you're used to getting hurt and cheating, but it doesn't always have to be so hard and hurtful. If you love Andre as much as you say you do, then you'll let go of this sick lifestyle you fallen into, and live the fairytale life he wants to live with you. And…you…Jade, you deserve happiness."
Jade almost had tears. "Do I?"
"Yes." Cat smiled at her best friend. "You do. No matter how evil you are to Tori, or how horrid you are to Robbie, or how you're rude to Beck, or how much you cheat on Andre…deep down inside you, you are a sweet, loving woman, who deserves love and peace. You deserve that, Jade. And Andre can give you that. I promise you. He's the man for you. He'll save you from yourself. Watch. He will."
"I hope so because I'm so tired of this." Jade sighed. "I'm so sick of losing him all the time. After he was shot…I couldn't handle it. I didn't want to lose him ever again."
"Then don't." Cat smiled. "Go to him. Find him. Love him. Marry him."
"Well, not yet." Jade nudged her best friend. "You're wedding's first."
"It's in three days." Cat sighed. "I'm really nervous."
"Don't be." Jade finished off her beer. "You and Beck are everyone's role models. You two have been through absolute hell and yet you still are together, and very much in love. You two deserve to get married. Your wedding will be perfect."
"I hope so." Cat bit her lip in nervousness. "I'm so scared something's going to happen. Beck promises that nothing will, but I can't help that sick feeling in my stomach."
"Are you sure you're not pregnant?" Jade joked, chuckling. When Cat didn't answer, Jade's jaw dropped. "THAT WAS MY JOKE GUESS!"
Cat sighed. "I know, but…I'm a week late."
"Oh my god!" Jade yelled out in surprise. "Let's go buy a pregnancy test! Oh my god, I might be an aunt again! Yes! Let's pray to god it's a girl!"
"Jade, I may not be pregnant." Cat said in a slow voice to calm her best friend down.
"Cat, you've been on your scheduled period for like ever. The only time you weren't was when you were pregnant with Anthony. Now if you want to stand here and tell me that you're not pregnant, that's fine with me, but you are. Let's go get a pregnancy test so I can convince you." Jade grabbed her purse. "I'm driving."
"Uh, no, you're not." Cat picked Anthony up and grabbed her purse. "You just chugged down that beer like there was no tomorrow. No thanks."
Jade rolled her eyes. "Whatever. You're so dramatic."
"I'd rather not die because you were under the influence of alcohol three days before my wedding, thank you very much." Cat said as they left the house.
…
Beck came home around 9pm that night in exhaustion. "I'm home." He called out softly, not wanting to wake up his son if he was already asleep in his crib. "Cat?" He looked in the living room, but saw no one there. He went to the bedroom and saw his wife-to-be on the bed, staring at the ceiling with a smile on her face. "There's my beautiful girl." He said as she gasped and then ran into his arms. He chuckled and held her up with ease, kissing her lips. "How was your day with Anthony?"
"It was wonderful!" Cat giggled. "I have something very important to tell you!"
"Ironic, because I have something to tell you." Beck said as he set her down on the bed, but stood before her. "You go first though."
"No, no, you first." Cat smiled. "After my news, you're going to faint."
Beck looked confused, but shrugged it off. "Alright. Well, I have received a movie role offer."
Cat gasped in excitement. "Oh my goodness, Beck, that's amazing!"
"But…it involves me going to New York for a few months." Beck said suddenly.
Cat's heart dropped. He was going to leave her? While she was pregnant? She was very delicate and fragile in her pregnancies…she needed help. "Oh…that's wonderful."
"Cat, I won't take it though if you don't want me to leave you and Anthony for four months." Beck said seriously. "I'll stay back and turn it down."
"When would you leave?" Cat asked in fear.
"In a month." Beck told her. "It'll be a busy year. We get married, go on our honeymoon for two weeks, and then I'd leave for a movie." He chuckled. "But then again, if that's too long then I won't."
Cat thought about it…she didn't want to ruin Beck's chances at fame and fortune. So…maybe she'll tell him about the surprise when he gets back. Sure, he'll be shocked, but at least he'll enjoy his time in New York before he has to come back and be a father of two babies instead of one. "I want you to go." She kissed his lips. "You have my blessing."
Beck grinned ear to ear. "Thank you so much, Cat!" He hugged her tightly, clearly excited. "You are the most amazing, fantastic woman on this earth for letting me do this!"
Cat almost cried…she didn't want to hide this from him. She wanted him to be here with her. But then again, she didn't want him to get restless and resent her for making him lose his opportunity. She forced a smile and nodded. "You deserve this. You've been working for it."
"So what's your big news that will make me faint?" He asked, still grinning.
She giggled. "Let's save that for another time. For now, let's celebrate your new job." She kissed him passionately and pulled him onto the bed with her, letting him let go and his day.
But she was happy…
She was getting married in three days.
Her husband-to-be was going to fulfill his dream in being a movie actor.
Her 6 month old was finally on solid food and said 'ma' earlier.
She was pregnant with her second child.
And Jade groveled at Andre's feet for him to take her back, which he did.
Perfect life.
Random Fact about DA: I've always wanted to do one of those ghost hunting adventures things, you know? I always wanted to stay in a haunted place for an overnight investigation because I love ghost hunting. It's always been a favorite thing of mine. YOLO, you know? ;) Maybe I will one day. I can't take my husband Thomas because he gets scared easily...aye, aye.
