"So what's the plan?" Miley questions looking toward the others in the room.

It's been 5 days since Christmas and the gangs minus Malex and the Gray brothers oh and Jade, were gathered at Caitlyn's house to discuss they plans for the New Years.

"Well the plan is to go to Time Square and watch the countdown" Joannie shrugs.

"Ok when I said 'the plan' I meant the Malex plan" Miley corrects and Caitlyn groans.

"Are we still on that?" She questions sounding annoyed.

"Ok baby you might dislike Alex for what happened but you can't ignore the fact is that they both miserable without each other. So we need to help them get together already because I am sick and tired of a moody Mitchie" Tess explained to Caitlyn's dismay.

"Hear hear" Lily agrees.

"Alex has become such a messy wimp, it's almost disgusting to watch" Miley shudder as Lily chuckles at girlfriend.

"Anyway back to the plan guys" Harper says bringing them to the conversation in hand.

"Right, we all know Alex is gonna be there..." Starts Joannie.

"No doubt with Cat!" Lily spat with an eye roll.

"What's with them anyway?" Caitlyn asks with raised brow.

"Oh c'mon we all know that Alex only gets a boner for Mitchie, literally!" Then she laughed at her own joke. "It's funny" she states to Lily who stared at her blankly while she laughed at her own joke.

Shaking her blonde hair side to side until Miley's laugh subsided.

"Anyway" Joannie trails. "Don't worry about Cat because we all know Alex wants Mitchie back and Mitchie wants Alex back" she continues.

"Ok then Cupid, what do you expect us to do?" Harper questions with raised brow.

"That was my job" Tess grumbles lowly unhappy.

Caitlyn who heard her chuckles kissing the side of her head.

Joannie smiles before huddling the group closer. "This is what we gonna do."

"Alright alright!" Tori exclaims running to a crying Preston. "What's wrong?" She questions the small boy who still preoccupied in crying his head off.

"Preston" Tori says tiredly, he's been acting like this for days, misbehaving, crying over absolutely nothing and it was driving her crazy. "Preston baby what's wrong?" She asks gently trying to wipe his tears off his cheeks that was red from crying.

"Whoa what's happening here?" Jade questions walking inside the room. "What happened?"

"How should I know?" The teen mother yelled in frustration taking her son in her arms and bouncing him around. "He's been like this for days, crying for reasons unknown and I don't know what to do!" She rants in annoyance as Preston was still having a screaming match.

"Preston come on!" Tori groans her voice displaying just how tired she sounds.

"Ok why don't you give him to me..." Jade starts reaching toward the crying toddler.

"No!" He screech loudly making Tori winch.

"Preston look, do you want a car?" Jade says picking up the toy tracker and holding it toward him.

"No!" He screamed even louder driving Tori up to the walls even more.

"Ok no car, um dinosaur" she picked a green dinosaur, both girls watched with held breath as the toddler stared at the toy in fascination before reaching out a hand and taking it. Just as they both breathed out in relief Preston restored back up again, he's scream louder than before.

"That's it!" Tori fumes placing the boy down before walking away.

"Where are you going?" Jade questions looking toward her retrieving girlfriend with wide panicky eyes as Preston belt out a loud killer scream.

"Tori" Jade calls over Preston's loud cries. "It's okay baby, mama will be right back. I promise." At her reassurance the two year old seems to call down a little to Jade's relief only to start back up again. "Ayyyy" she cries hopelessly while she continues bouncing him up and down.

"Who was that?" Justin questions as he watch his sister fist her cellphone back in her pocket.

"Tori." She replies before dumping the dirty plates from customers on the counter. "I have to go Justin, please cover for me."

If Alex would of asked that months ago Justin's answer would of been 'absolutely not' but over the months he has seen how matured and responsible his sister has gotten so with a small smile he agrees. He chuckles as he watches Alex fly out the substation.

"Max!" Justin calls toward his younger brother. "Your on table duty" he grins as Max sulked nonetheless complains to his request.

"Hi!" Shane cheerful greets as he sits right next to Mitchie, his face right up to hers.

"Have you ever heard of personal space?" She questions looking sideway at him.

"Yeah but I like your space." He grins cheekily as Mitchie rolls her eyes.

"I was thinking..." He starts as Mitchie sighs. She placed down her book she was reading on the coffee table before giving him her full attention.

"I'm listening."

"What if I book you a studio time and you can record on your songs and the guys and I can give it to our manager who by the way is awesome, and knows pretty good record labels that will definitely be interested." He explains in one breath.

"Oh no. No, no. Nah uh." The brunette responds.

"Just hear we out Mitch-"

"Nope."

"But-"

"No Shane. Forget it." And she stood up trying to walk away.

"But Mitch c'mon! Your amazing! What are you afraid of?" He questions.

"Nothing Shane. It's just-" she paused taking a deep breath. "My songs are person so I don't feel like sharing my personal life with the world anytime soon."

"But-"

"No." She says leaving no room to argue, turning on her heels she walked off but not before warning him one last time. "And keep out of my song book." Then she disappeared out the corner of the room.

Shane sighs in defeat before his phone started ringing. Reaching for the device, he scrunched up his brow in confusion of the caller ID.

"Hello?" He answers uncertain.

"Hey Shane, it's Joannie."

"Oh right, s'up?" He hasn't known the girl for awhile and barely spoken to her but he knew who she was.

"I need your help."

And Shane's interests sparks up always one to want to help. "How may I be at your service?"

"You may be at my service by helping us with operation get Malex back together." Shane smiles wide at the grin on the girl's voice.

"I am so on!" He cheered before both hanged up after agreeing to meet up and run over the plan.

"You so on on what?" Turning around he came face to face with his brothers.

"Operation get Malex together." He whispers so only his brothers could hear him.

"What?!" Nate exclaim as if it's the most stupidest ridicule thing Shane has ever said.

"Oh yay, I want in too!" Jason replies as Shane high fives him.

"You guys can't be serious!" The youngest Grey seethed. "They broke up for a reason and I think you guys should leave them alone." He adds.

Shane scoffs. "Yeah right! If we do they probably end up with the wrong person for each other and live a miserable life. No thank you sir." Shane says. "And besides this is why we came here in the first place. To help Mitchie and I really think Alex would make our mission accomplish." Grinning like a 5 year old in a sugar rush, he skips out the room.

"Jase say you agree with me." Nate pleads of his older brother.

"Sorry bro, Shane's right." Patting his shoulder he too left, leaving a sulking brother behind.

"Coming!" Tori calls running toward the ringing doorbell.

"Hi!" Alex greets as soon as the door was opened. "Whoa!" The brunette shrink as she was pulled inside by the wrist. "What's wrong?" She questions the mother of her child who looked to be out of it.

"Do you hear that?" Was Tori's responds.

"Is that PJ?" Alex asks now hearing the cry of her little boy before walking away from Tori following the noise.

Upon her arrival she saw Jade who was trying all her hardest to calm him to no avail.

"What happened?" Alex asks.

At hearing her voice Preston's cries subsided as she looked toward her.

"Lexie!" He cheerfully screech to Jade and Tori's bewildered expression as he ran toward Alex and hugged her legs as if he wasn't just crying his head off a few seconds ago.

"Wh-WHAT?" Tori demands her shocked expression not betraying her.

"Wasn't he just crying a few minutes ago?" Jade asks looking toward Preston who was snuggling into Alex like a perfect angel with a mock glare. "Your son is evil." She stated playfully.

"He takes after his daddy and uncle Max" Alex grins as her boy plays with her hair. "Anyway, seeing how you two been having a hard time with him. I'll take him with me, is that okay?" She asks her attention on Tori.

"I love my son but I do need a relax so please do!" A packed bag was already ready and presented to Alex.

"Alright then, well we'll be out of your air now. You kids have fun,
C'mon PJ say bye bye to mama and Jade" the small boy finally lifts up his head and waves at his mum.

"Bye bye mama" he says his voice small and scratchy from none stop screaming.

"Bye baby, I love you" Tori kisses her son's cheek as he waves goodbye to Jade as Alex carries him out.

After the door was shut Tori relaxes breathing a relief sigh, opening her eyes she found her girlfriend grinning at her.

"What?" She asks a smile adoring her face. She just couldn't help it, Jade had a way of making her smile without even trying.

"Your beautiful." The other stated as she kisses her button nose making her giggle.

"Charming." She mumbles pushing off the door that she was leaning on.

"I'll show you charming." The hockey player husks against her ear before kissing her neck softly. "Your so tense" she mumbles her lips still placed on Tori's neck. "Let me help you relax" her lips then trailed up her neck before meeting Tori's lips in a loving kiss.

"Oh yeah? How?" She groans as Jade pulls on her bottom lip between her teeth.

"I've got a few ideas." Jade grins wriggling her brows at Tori whom giggle in reply before pulling her down the hallway.

/

"Watch closely Preston because this is when it gets hard." Justin says, his hand holding the sugar bag as he got ready to pour it into the container as his nephew sat and stared in curious and fascinating big brown eyes to what will happen.

"Ta da da" Justin smiles looking down at his nephew who was perched on the counter top. The two year old grins wides clapping his small hand to applaud his uncle.

"Thank you, thank you, thank you" Justin bows as Preston laughs gleefully. "Your an great audience buddy, thank you." He pretends to get teary eyes placing his hand against his chest in a thankful manner.

"Silly!" Preston exclaim his smile and eyes wide happily.

"Yes he is." Alex says picking up her son and holding against her. "Your uncle is silly" she adds and Preston giggles.

Justin glares at his sister for the interruption before picking up the sugar container and bag bringing it along with him as he stalks away.

"Awww" said a voice behind and Alex turned around before smirking.

"Yes thank you, we're adorable" she grins charming pointing at her and Preston who grew shy.

The person giggled at her antics. "That you guys are" then walked closer to the mother and son. "Hi Preston, remember me?"

The boy in question shyly borrows his head on his mother's neck hiding himself.

"He's shy" Alex states as Preston clings to her. "And where's my hello?" The newcomer rolls they eyes before reaching up on tip top and laying a kiss on Alex's cheek.

"Hi Alex" they says faking annoyance.

"Oh you are happy to see me" the brunette states before sticking her tongue out. "But hello to you too Cat."

At hearing the girl's name, Preston finally picked up his head from Alex's shoulder and looked at the red hair.

"Kitty cat" he says sounding adorable and innocent as both Alex and Cat giggled at the new nickname.

xox

"Why are we here Shane." Mitchie complains as she stares at the sign on the door.

"Because I'm hungry, duh." He states as if it's the most obvious thing before pushing open the door and walking inside leaving Mitchie to follow after him inside the substation.

xox

"Oh my god he is so cute." Cat giggles as she watched Preston pour his macaroni in his hair. "It's hard to tell him to stop." She adds as Alex walks over to stop him.

"I know but if you allow his cuteness get you then you will never have the upper hand. Trust me, it's all the Russo charms" she grins winking down at Cat who blushes furiously lucky for her Alex had gone back to attending to Preston.

After the lunch hour the place had finally calmed down a bit to Alex's relief who hasn't relax since but thanks to Cat who kept an eye on Preston she was able to get her orders right and so on. The small boy seems to love the red hair, since Cat had this air of childlike in her Preston seemed to love her a lot. His 'kittycat' at one point when Alex had sat down for her break hoping to catch up with Cat but the red haired had ignored her most of the time only having attention for her son which she had complain claiming she say Cat first.

"C'mon PJ, quit fussing and let me clean you up." Said boy had pasta soace all over his face and pasta on his hair. There were barely any customer at the substation so Alex was thankful for the rest. "Preston." She groans as the two year kept shaking his head to avoid the wet cloth on his skin.

Cat giggled watching the interaction between mother and son before reaching over. "Here, let me help" she offers her hand touching Alex's the brunette in question stared up at Cat, they eyes meeting as they stared into each other's eyes for what felt like forever before Alex shook herself out of her trance.

"Um ye-yeah. Thanks" she moved away to let Cat clean Preston, feeling someone behind her the rebel turned around to see Shane Grey awkwardly standing there.

"Shane? What are you doing here?" Although the question would seem odd considering people come here to eat but that wasn't why Alex was asking what she did.

"Um, I er." He stutters his companion long gone. "I was just," he chuckles nervously scratching the back of his head. "Go. Yup that's hat I was doing, so um bye!" And he flied out the door before Alex had time to react.

Alex stood there gawking at the retreating boy confusion lace to her features.

"Ok then." She mumbles before going back to her son and Cat.

/

"Mitchie wait!" Shane calls doing his best to keep up with the girl. "God I am so unfit!" He wheezes as he finally reaches her. "Hi" he lets out between breathing as Mitchie just stared at him. "Your ok?" He asks sounding concern.

"I'm fine." Mitchie replies her expression hard and unreadable.

"Are you sure because-"

"I'm fine Shane." She cuts him off with a hard stared making him step back. "What Alex does with her life does not concern me." She explains although her mouth was saying something her, her eyes was displaying the hurt she felt and Shane felt bad for his friend.

"But Mitch, I don't think they-" again she cut him off.

"Seriously Shane, I couldn't give a fuck about Alex and that girl." She growl. Literally growled.

"Her name is Cat but" he starts but with a look from Mitchie he stopped. "I'll just shut up now."

"Wise advice." She grunted before walking away from him.

"Well wait for me." He calls again running after her.

/

"Home sweet home Pres" Alex whispers as she shuts the door behind her while cradling her sleeping son before walking toward the silence hallway.

Seeing how late it was the brunette figured she use the spare key to let herself in instead of bothering Tori with ringing the doorbell. Alex balance the sleeping boy against her arm as she places his bag on top of the table before heading toward Tori's room.

Creepily in slowly so she doesn't disturb Tori, she flicked on the light bringing the room into focus before screaming out of her mind.

"Oh my god!"

"Alex!"

"Dude!"

Was the three voices that yelled in unison.

"Ew my eyes! It burns!" She cried backing out the room with Preston held tightly against her chest trying to shield him from being scared for life even though he was still sound asleep.

"What are you doing here?" Tori questions walking out the room a rope drape around her while glaring at Alex.

"I'm here to drop off our son." She exclaim still horrified.

Tori softens once she stared down at her little boy sound asleep. "Aww my baby" she coos reaching over to take him.

"Nope you can't touch him. Your impure." She says in all seriousness as Tori rolls her eyes.

"Alex!"

"I'm serious Tori, you can't touch our son after touching Jade's" she wriggles her fingers around. "Junk." She ends in a whispers as Jade stepped out the room.

"Dude I saw your junk." Alex says with a grimace.

"Shut up Russo, my junk is bigger thank yours." She smirked as Alex glared at her.

"Shall we ask Tori about that..." She trails looking at said girl.

"Ok give me my son you bunch of crazies." Taking Preston out of Alex's arms she turned away and walked away shouting. "Goodnight Alex."

"What? We're not gonna talk about what I walked in on?"

"You wanna talk about mine and Tori's sex life?" Jade asks with raised brow.

Alex thought about it before shaking her head. "Nope, I'm good. Goodnight." She have Jade a pat on the shoulder before leaving.

/

"Good-morning" Kristen groans as her eyes flutters open to meet the smiling face of her girlfriend. "Happy New Year." She greets with a kiss.

"Oh god!" The pregnant woman moans before bolting out of her bed an toward the bathroom. Ashley winch as the sound of retching could be heard, placing the mug she held down she ran after her girlfriend. Reaching just on time to pull her hair back from her face as she retch inside the toilet.

"There there, I got you" she soothes running her hand against Kristen's back slowly.

"Oh" the teacher moans as her back met the bathroom wall. "I hate being pregnant"

Ashley laughed as she tend to her distress girlfriend.

"Don't laugh, this is so gross." Kristen pouts as Ashley finishes helping her clean up her mouth before aiding her onto her feet then softly placing a kiss to her lips.

"You can be my gross" she winked as Kristen blushes slapping her arm playful as she pushed her way pass her to their bedroom and getting back into bed just as Ashley's cellphone rung.

"Hello?" Kristen watched curiously as her girlfriend spoke to whoever was on the phone, only hearing the occasional 'no.' 'Because I'm busy.' 'Yes I am sure.' 'Seriously.' 'No.' She scrunched up her brows at the two worded phone conversation as Ashley finally hanged up.

"Who was that?" She asks as her curiosity got the best of her.

Debating how she answer that the dark haired woman settled with 100% truth. "That was Rosemary, she and others from work are meeting up to celebrate New Years and wanted me to come along." She answers as she places herself by the edge of the bed where Kristen's feet stopped under the duvet.

"And you declined?"

"Well yeah." She replies as if it was the most obvious thing ever. "Baby your pregnant, I can't be leaving you home alone." She adds.

Kristen rolls her eyes good naturally. "For god sakes Ash, I'm pregnant not indicap. I am fully capable of looking after myself for a few hours" she argues as Ashley went to speak she stopped her. "I love you for being so understanding, amazing and helpful but we will have our hands full once the baby gets here so I want you to enjoy yourself as much as possible and not being stuck here babysitting me." She adds in a firm voice.

"But I like spending time with, talking to baby." She says with a wide smile as Kristen smiles back.

The pregnant woman lays down before patting the space next to next. Ashley crawls onto the bed and lays down in front of her girlfriend both facing each other, their nose practically touching.

"I know you do but you shouldn't shut your friends out for me. I don't want you too" she replies running a finger down the other women's face. "And no argument. You are going out with your friends and you're gonna have fun and not worry about us. Got it." She says with an authority and motherly tone.

Ashley grins at that. "Yes mum" which earned her a slap to the arm. "Ouch," she pouts mockingly her bottom lip sticking out. "That hurts, kiss it better?" She whines to Kristen's amusement before she found her girlfriend's lips on hers.

"I love you." Kristen mumbles they lips still attached with each other.

"I love you too." She replies as her girlfriend rolls on top of her, deepening the kiss.

"This is a disaster!" Joannie exclaimed throwing her gloves covered hands up in the air in frustration. "Shane you had one job!" She screamed at the boy who looked slightly threatened.

Tess grins slightly by her place in Caitlyn's arms snuggling deeply to keep warm. "This is what happens when you people don't let Tess Taylor take charge of a plan." She smugly restores as Joannie shots her a dirty look.

"Babe don't." Caitlyn says trying to save her girlfriend from the hockey player's wrath.

"I'm just saying." She mumbles lowly.

This really was a disaster, they mission to get Malex together was failing miserably as Mitchie refused to come out to celebrate with them opting to stay home and 'finish a song I'm working on' was Shane's reply mimicking Mitchie when asked where she was. Alex still yet to turned up but from Tori whom had arrived a few minutes early with Jade had said Alex was on her way she just needed to pick Cat up.

'Does these two go everywhere together now?' Was the question in everyone's mind. Seriously it looked like Alex was actually slowly moving on which was just a no no for the gang because they knew, they just knew that both Alex and Mitchie belong together. They just knew they were the type of couple in the group that have others hope of true love. I mean consider where Alex had came from before Mitchie just speaks volume, even if they were currently on a 'break' everyone including Caitlyn whom wouldn't even lie knew Alex and Mitchie were like Ross and Rachel from Friend. Despite whatever obsticals that life will throw at them. They will eventually find a way back to each other, but sometimes even true love needed a push to the right direction when their were being bunch of idiots and that's what they friends were for.

"Oh speaking of which." Lily lowly stated sounding bitter which to be honest she didn't mean to be but Mitchie was her best friend and it seemed like Cat was slowly trying to steal Alex right under Mitchie's nose even if they weren't together anymore. Still! And the blonde couldn't help finding herself to dislike the red hair.

'The little home wrecker'

"Hey guys." Alex greets the gang and a chores of greeting went around before an awkward silence fell. "Oh I forgot, guys this is Cat and Cat this is the gang." And Alex proceed to introduce each one of them even though she had seen some of them at school before and met both Jade and Tori at the hospital when Preston was there, the red hair kindly smiled as each person offered her a hand shake.

Lily seemed a lot colder toward her than the rest and Nate? Was grinning like an idiot at her and Tori just looked confused, 'you and me both Tori' Cat thought as she felt Alex's fingers slip into hers easily easing up her nerves. Seriously she felt like both Lily and Joannie wanted to kill her or something. 'Whats their problem?'

"Um Alex, a word?" Before the rebel could reply she found herself being pulled away by her jacket collar by Miley and pushed away from the group.

The rest just stood there awkwardly staring at each other in the middle of Time Square, the busy loud noises from around the only thing surrounding the group.

/

"What the hell!" Miley was the first to speak her frustration fully on.

"What?" Alex questions, confused as the day she thought she had wet herself turned out she just had a happy dream but that's besides the point because Miley just punched her. "Ouch! The fuck!" She cried cradling her arm before shooting Miley a death glare.

"What the heck is Cat doing here?" Miley seethed.

"Um I invited her." Alex says sounding confused.

"Okay let me handle this." Joannie finally says deciding to speak up only to punch Alex too, she didn't have time to dwell on it as her friend spoke up again. "What Miley is trying to say is, you Alexandra Margarita Russo is one of the most biggest idiot on this planet!" The hockey player says with a sadistic smile and Alex actually looked offended.

"What happened to 'Mitchie is the one for me, I rather die than be with someone else!' " Miley said mimicking Alex.

"Ok, 1. I don't sound like that." She glared. "And 2. Mitchie made it pretty clear how she felt about me. Stay away from me was her words, I don't ever want to you. Is what she said, what else do you expect me to do! I tried everything and all she did was throw it back at my face! So excuse me if I'm trying to spare what's left of my heart from being crushed all over again!" As the half Mexican Italian ranted both her best friends actually looked sympathetic at her. They knew they couldn't begin to understand whatever Alex must be feeling but they also knew no one has ever made Alex as happy as Mitchie did/does.

So with that in mind, Joannie fell back to her usual role of the peacemaker and rational friend while Miley was always the 'kick you while your down, tough love' friend but she did it because she cared not because she didn't but right now Alex needed reassurance not tough love.

"I understand that Alex but can you really look at Cat and tell me you feeling whatever that I know you still feel for Mitchie?" Joannie says calmly and gently as Alex glances toward the gang and watch Tori and Cat in a conversation. "Sure you care about her, no doubt but do you really want her to be your rebound when you know well enough she will never be enough for you? Can you?" She adds her eyes soft and friendly.

Alex sighed shaking her head. Who was she fooling? Sure she felt some type of connection with Cat but was it worth risking their friendship and losing her friend over? And she sure as hell didn't want to put Cat through anything else if she acted on impulse with the way she was feeling about her.

"No." She whispers lowly her eyes casting down on the snow covered ground. She wasn't going to put the most caring, sweet and amazing girl through that headache.

"I can't do that to her. God I'm still head over heel with my ex girlfriend whom I don't think I will ever get over. I can't- I can't hurt Cat like that." She frowns then adds in a whispers. "I can't give her what she wants."

After a few minutes of silence, Alex finally looked up at her friends. "Can you guys do me a favour?" Both Miley and Joannie glance at each other not knowing what she wants of them but agreeing nonetheless because that's what friends do.

"Anything." Both friends answers.

"Watch out for Cat for me, I have to do something." Miley and Joannie smiled showing that they will, with a confirmation Alex run off toward the busy crowd.

"What is she up to?" Joannie questions and Miley shrug as the two walked back toward the gang to let them know of Alex's departure. Especially Cat.

/

Kristen sighs as she finally strides up the stairs, carefully holding onto the banister for balance. She had been watching TV when she felt her eyes get heavy with sleep so decided to get herself upstairs because she was consume by sleep. Ashley although relent to go had finally been pushed out the door by her once her friends from work showed up.

Kristen admired her girlfriend's commitment to look after both her and their unborn baby but she needed a life of her own too. Heck even the 'father' barely visited unless it was doctor appointments and so her so Kristen didn't want to make Ashley feel oblige to stay home and babysit her. She already felt guilty of how she had gotten pregnant and was thankful Ashley had forgave her and forgotten about it so the last thing she wanted was to tie her down besides once Ashley starts work it will just be her and the baby so she might as well start getting used to it now anyway.

Once reached the safety of her bedroom the soon mother to be crawled on her bed and fell into a peaceful slumber.

/

Mitchie sat in the living room, boredom was her new best friend on the couch flipping through channels trying to find something to watch...anything that wasn't the countdown happening in Time Square for the New Years but to no avail with an angry scold she just decided to leave it on the countdown dreading to see all the happy couples that will be kissing for the New Years.

She was now half regretting declining Shane's offer to go out with them to celebrate the day but half wasn't because she was not in the mood of seeing Alex lip lock with her new girlfriend as the clock strikes midnight. She always knew Alex would move on soon or late I mean just look at the girl but Mitchie never thought it would be so soon and that it would hurt this much. And the worse part? Is that she literally drove Alex to that red hair's arms by herself so really she had no one to blame but herself.

She was so heartbroken by everything that Dean had reveal that she lost sight of what her heart really wanted. Yes she was angry and hurt but a part of her really just wanted Alex to hold on and never let go no matter how much Mitchie would push her away. And Alex did, she did fight, she didn't let go but Mitchie's pride was way to much so she deny what her heart wanted most by letting the hurt she felt from the whole deal consume her and now she has lost Alex forever.

The brunette hasn't realise until she felt the salty taste of tears against her lips that she noticed she had started to silently cry. She really shouldn't be crying but it just hurts, everything just hurts but she refuse to give into the desire as she furiously wipes off the fallen tears. She was so busy in her administration she nearly screamed out in fright at the sudden ringing of the doorbell.

She finally composed herself then decided to go see who it was as both her parents were out with a few friends from work and the boys had gone to Time Square to meet with the rest, so with puzzlement the brunette strides toward the door her socks clad feet echoing against the floorboard as she finally reached the door and yanked it open then gasp. Both from the cold and the person that stood in front of her.

It seemed like forever since the two just stared at one another not knowing what to say, for some reason it felt like they were just meeting for the first time then finally the other person spoke.

"Hi" it was so low that it almost lost into the crispy snow air and Mitchie had to strain her ears to hear it what with the background noise coming from the TV inside the living room but she heard it just loud and clear.

"Hi" she found her mouth saying and couldn't help the nervous smile that grace her face as the other person stepped up toward her.

"I-I eh" they fiddles with they fingers rubbing the back of they neck in a nervous stance and Mitchie had to admit it was adorable.

"Alex-" but the other girl held up her hand at her.

"Just-just hear me out and if you want me to go afterward then I will and never bother you again." Alex says nervousness becoming her new best friend.

Mitchie swallows at the word. Did she really wanted Alex to leave her alone forever? No. But obviously Alex had come here for a reason so Mitchie nods slowly in a way of letting her know that she was listening.

Alex took a much needed breath to compose herself for the speech she had prepared on her way here.

"I love you." Alex blared out before shaking her head, ok so this is not how she planned for the speech to go but she hasn't screwed it up so far seeing how Mitchie hasn't slammed the door in her face...yet.

"Mitchie, I had time to think about-about us." She nervously points between them and Mitchie tried so hard not to smile in amusement by how nervous Alex was."And I know that in my heart no one have ever made me feel like you do. I mean you can be so frustrating at times but I think that's what makes me even more crazier about you. I could stand here and write practically a book about everything that I love about you but that will take eternity" she let out a small laugh and was pleased to find Mitchie do the same.

"I never in my life believed in love before I meant you. I thought I had known what it is meant by being in love the first time but that-that wasn't it. I was young back then and thought I was in love but I wasn't, not until I meant you. And I would know because when you're not with me I feel like I can hardly breathe, I can't imagine spending minutes away from you and these pass weeks has been killing me to no end."

"When I'm with you my heart can barely beat normally, it's as if I just ran a marathon and my heart speeds up so fast and I'm scared it's gonna combust. That's how I know that I am in love with you Mitchie Torres and I know what I did was wrong and you may hate my guts right now but all I'm asking is for you to give me, us a second chance." Throughout out the speech Alex's eyes was gazing lovingly into Mitchie's who looked on the verge of tears although Alex couldn't work out if that was a good or a bad thing.

"I know it's not gonna be easy being with me, we will fight...we will disagree, heck I will piss you off so much you would even start considering pushing me off a bridge" she joked and was pleased when Mitchie let out an amused chuckle her voice sounding teary. "But despite that we will work it all out because I'm not perfect not by far. But if you'll let me, I promise you that I will make sure to treat you like a princess heck even like a queen because that's what you deserves and I'm gonna do that by the best of my ability because I'm not perfect, so without further ado..." She trails off while reaching inside her pocket and pulling out a black velvet box and kneeling before Mitchie.

"Alex" Mitchie gasps eyes wide as a football. "What are you doing!" She questions in a rush suddenly feeling panicked, she found herself feeling panicked because she would actually say 'yes' if Alex was actually considering...but oh my god! They were only 17 years old for goddess sakes!

Alex seeing Mitchie's reaction understood her immediately and chuckles. "Mitch, relax." She grins cheekily. "We're only 17 after all." She winked and Mitchie breathed in relief then Alex resume back to her speech.

"No it's not an engagement ring but a promise ring." She finally removed the item from the box and held it toward Mitchie. It shines, reflecting against the porch light. "A promise to love you and treat you like a princess in the best of my ability and hopefully if you'll have me now...someday, this promise ring will turn to an engagement ring."

"So, what'd you say Michelle Torres. Will you give us a second chance?" Her heart was beating, so hard that the whole neighbourhood could hear it, she was terrified.

To say Mitchie was speechless would be understatement because she was beyond. Just a few minutes ago she sat on her couch dwelling on the lost of the love of her life, yes Alex was the love of her life she knew it in her heart. They were soulmate and tonight just proved that but that was besides the point because here was Alex, pouring her heart out to her and Mitchie was literally speechless.

"Um Mitch?" Alex's nervous voice finally pulled her out of her thoughts, she looked down at the girl still kneeling one knee in front of her before finally coming down the steps and smiling at Alex.

"Yes." It was so low that Alex thought she misheard her.

"Yes?" She questions just for a confirmation and Mitchie nods to Alex's excitement. Mitchie then produced her hand out toward Alex who took it gracefully before slipping the promise ring that she had brought from the cupcake job money she earned. Which she quit by the way and slipped the ring on Mitchie's finger.

"Perfect." She whispers as her ears finally picked up at the countdown inside Mitchie's house.

'10, 9, 8, 7, 6,'

The two newly reunited lovers just graced at each other lovingly with wide smiles on they faces.

'5, 4,'

Mitchie stepped even closer toward Alex, they body flash against each other as her arms found themselves wrapped around Alex's shoulders.

'3, 2,'

Alex smiles having missed the feeling of Mitchie's body against hers as she pulled Mitchie even closer by the waist, they faces moving close.

'1!'

The screaming of happy New Year fell in death ears as they lips finally met after weeks that felt like years of being apart.

'Happy New Year'

both whispers even though they lips was pretty much still attached with one another as fireworks set off toward the sky.

As everyone celebrated happy New Years with smiles on they faces and a kiss to their partner, Ashley pulled away from her cheery group of friends all smiling before reaching toward her pocket for her phone and dialled her girlfriend's number to wish her a Happy New Years.

The phone started ringing on and on and on before falling into answer machine.

'Hey you reach Ash and Kristen, sorry we're not home but leave us a message and we'll give you a call back'

Ashley smiles figured her girlfriend was fast asleep as she left a message.

"Hi baby, happy New Year, I love you so much, both you" she spoke loudly because of the background noise.

/

In a calm dark house the message came through before it stopped, you could barely see a thing until the fireworks on the sky exploded illuminating the house, the fireworks casting a glow inside the dark room focusing on the unconscious form that laid on the floor, leaving both hers and her baby's lives hanging in the balance.
