Hey there guys. Sorry that I haven't been updating. My world we rocked in the worst possible way when the person who encouraged me to write shattered my heart by making me question everything, I thought I knew about myself. I was planning on putting a honeymoon section in here, but I literally couldn't will myself to write anything for months. I love you guys so much. You are amazing and I'm going to really try to finish this story for you.

You Are My Sunshine

OCTOBER 2017

Beck read over his script for the hundredth time that morning as he sat nervously in the back of the car that the producer sent. Suddenly, as he flips to the final page of the script, a picture flutters out. He smiles down at the picture of Jade and Kady from the zoo and flips it over.

You got this, babe

We love you

Also, you need to start making money so I can just become the hot trophy wife

Beck laughs before bringing the picture to his lips and letting his eyes fall shut while he tries to calm his racing heart. He hears the soft ding of his phone and looks down at it.

From The Wife: Don't mess up

December 10th, 2017

Jade walked into the show's loft where Denis told everyone to meet, and she's a somber look on Denis' face and the rest of the cast watch her with sad eyes.

"Wow, guys calm down. There's too much joy in this room," Jade throws her purse onto the black couch before going to the fridge to grab a water.

"Jade, you might want to sit," Denis gestures to the bar stools. Jade looks on at her co-star concerned but follows his direction.

"Did someone die?"

"No, but something did," Jade raises an eyebrow, "they're not signing SDRR on for a fifth season," Jade's eyes go wide.

"So, you're telling me that they're canceling their most successful show, that has won six Emmys and a few Grammys. Am I hearing you right?" Denis nods.

"They don't think SDRR has a place where they are trying to take the network," Jade lets her jaw hang open while she processes the information.

"Well, shit," Jade's body goes slack.

"Jade, sweetie, but this gives you a chance to go look into movies, right? That was your dream," Elaine takes her hand into her hers.

"But I like working with you guys," Jade pouts a little bit while looking over at Elaine, "and they're dumb. I guess it's for the best though,"

"Why's that?"

"Beck just got a role he auditioned for, but its filming in LA so he wants to move back,"

"Congrats to Beck," Denis attempts a jovial smile, "but hey, all good things have to end, and I know one thing, Jade West," Jade looks up at Denis.

"And what's that?"

"I'm glad that I've got to watch you, Beck, and Kady grow up," Jade gives him a weak smile before getting up to hug him.

"I'm glad you took a chance on me,"

"I couldn't have asked for a better TV daughter. Never change."

"I don't think I could if I wanted to." The rest of the cast join in on the hug, all of them holding onto each other for a little longer than normal.

December 20th, 2017

"I don't know how I let you convince me to do this," Jade lounges on the leather seat of her dad's plane while she scrolls through theSlap.

"She's never been and she has roots there,"

"Don't remind me that my daughter is technically part Canadian," Beck smiles and wiggles so Jade is sitting on his lap.

"I like how you say technically,"

"She's not a citizen, so she can deny it all she wants,"

"But I'm Canadian." Jade takes Beck's face into her hands.

"And it's still your greatest flaw, husband dearest." Beck smiles and brings their lips together, however, but before long they're interrupted.

"Mama!" Kady tries to climb up but struggles.

"Yes, baby?"

"Up,"

"Up what?"

"Please. Up please," Jade moves herself to she is sitting next to Beck, and pulls Kady up onto her lap.

"Good job using your manners,"

"Yea, one of you need to use them because Mama sure doesn't use them," Jade glares at Beck.

"No one asked you, Oliver."

"Daddy, are we going to see Pardaadi and Pardaada?"

"We are. We're going to Canada, and Daadi and Daada will be there with most of my family,"

"Is Nani going to be there, Mama?"

"No, Nani is staying in LA with Uncle Joey and Mama's grandparents,"

"Doesn't she want to spend time with me?"

"Of course, she does, but we're spending the holidays with Daddy's family like we spent Thanksgiving with Nani and Uncle Joey in New York," Kady starts playing with one of Jade's necklaces.

"When will we see Nani again?"

"Well remember we are moving to LA?" Kady nods, "well, who lives in LA?"

"Nani,"

"So, when we move, we'll see Nani all of the time,"

"And Daadi and Daada?"

"Of course, and Aunt Cat, Uncle Robbie, and Uncle André. You're going to be surrounded by everyone,"

"What about Aunt Tori?" Beck lets out a little snort at the mention of Tori.

"Yes, Aunt Tori, too." Kady smiles and slowly gets off of Jade's lap before sprinting to the couch that is covered in her toys.

"I hate that she likes Tori."

"I know babe." Beck smiles at her and takes Jade's hand.

Beck looks at the pile of presents sitting under the lodge's large tree. Jade places a tender kiss on Beck's shoulder while wrapping her arms around him while holding two cups of mulled wine.

"We keep putting a lot of effort into things she probably isn't going to remember," Beck takes one of the glasses and turns to face Jade, taking her into his arms.

"But she'll be happy,"

"For like twenty minutes,"

"But her smile will be worth it,"

"Never did I think that Jade West would be happy about a smile,"

"Kady's smile is pretty cute," Both of them take a sip of their wine, and Beck walks over to the record player and drops the needle while a soft violin starts to play. He sets his glass down for walking over to Jade to take her glass away.

"Hey, that's mine,"

"Yea, but I want to dance with my wife on Christmas Eve in a stereotypical Canadian ski lodge with a large window that has snow drifting outside of it,"

"God, that's gross, Beck," Beck starts to sway them slowly. Jade relaxes in his arms while the two of them held each other close. Beck brings her lips to his while the music begins to fade, "I think we're done for tonight,"

"All the presents are out along with the cookies and milk. So, we should get to bed or Santa won't come because he knows when we're sleeping and he knows when we're awake," Beck smiles.

"Yea, we can go to bed, but I don't think we'll be sleeping, so Santa will just have to make an exception."

"Good to hear." Jade smiles before running off to their room with Beck hot on her heels.

JULY 2018

Jade watches as the movers take the last of the boxes out of the loft, and she snaps a photo of the empty space.

JADE WEST: All good things must come to an end. Thanks for the memories NYC #newyorknewyorkitsawonderfultown Mood: Sad

"Mama?" Jade turns around and looks at Kady, clutching Mister Blue close to her chest.

"Yes, Kady?"

"My room is gone,"

"I know remember the movers took it away," Jade squats down in front of Kady, taking her hands into hers.

"But I don't want to move,"

"But we're going to be closer to Daada and Daadi, Nani and Uncle Joey, Aunt Cat…"

"But I like New York," Jade picks Kady up before walking around the apartment, doing a final look through.

"Mama does, too,"

"Then why are we moving?"

"Well, Daddy got a really good job in LA, and he doesn't want to be far away from us for so long. Then, I got a nice job, too, and it's just easier for us to go live there,"

"Will you miss home?"

"I will. You had a lot of firsts here," Jade walks back to the living room, "and it's hard to leave those memories behind, but you know what Kady Vivaan?"

"What?" Jade presses her forehead into Kady's and stares into her matching eyes.

"We get to make new ones at the new house."

SEPTEMBER 2018

Jade sighed as she set down another script with a huff. Beck looks up from the book he was reading to a now sleeping Kady.

"What's wrong, babe?"

"This script is garbage,"

"Do they send garbage scripts to five-time Emmy, three-time Grammy, and eight-time Golden globe winners?"

"Yes, obviously," Jade rolled her eyes as she stood up from the lounge, "I'm established enough as a writer and as an actress that I shouldn't have to read this kind of stuff,"

"Everyone has to have their start though,"

"Yea, but I shouldn't have to be a part of it. I'm not starting,"

"Well, then who is going to be a part of it?"

"They should put people who are starting out together with some mentors in business,"

"Sounds like a good studio idea. Established actors could become producers helping people who are trying to get into directing and writing, established music artists…" Jade tunes out her husband as she thinks about his words. About his idea. "...Jade!"

"What?"

"Were you even listening?" Jade rolls her eyes and sits on the arm of the chair Beck was on.

"Kind of, I was thinking,"

"About?"

"Let's do it,"

"Do what?"

"The studio. Let's start a studio for those trying to get into the business. We have the means,"

"The time commitment alone would be too much,"

"Not if we have a team between you and me, Andre, Cat, Robbie…Tori, anyone we can grab that we trust their talent,"

"Do you think they would be down?"

"Think about it. We all got a boost up in the industry because of Hollywood Arts not everyone has that. Like this kid," Jade grabs the script and looks at the name, "Paul Rodney, and we could help people like him. However, in his case, crush his dreams," Jade threw the script back down.

"You sure?"

"Let's mull it over, talk to the others, and try to set up a plan," Beck opens his other arm that Kady isn't nestled into and Jade slides in, "it could be a fun project, and we would be able to spend some more time with each other and Kady," Jade rubs the back of Kady's back at she softly snores into Beck's chest.

"You seem excited,"

"I feel like I've been missing something, and this has been the most excited I've been about a project in a while,"

"Well, in the scenario that this comes to be, what we call our studio," Jade smiles and looks up into Beck's eyes.

"BADE studios, a combination of our names, and it could stand for The Beginnings of Acting, Directing, and Entertainment, A Studio of Starts," Beck lets out a chuckle.

"How long have you been thinking about this, babe?"

"I guess," Jade cuddles into Beck's chest and strokes Kady's cheek, "a while. I just didn't know it."

"Then let's see what we can we do." Beck kisses the top of her head with a smile plastered on both of their faces.

5 MONTHS LATER

The flashes of the cameras did nothing but reflect the groups' smiles as they cut the red ribbon leading to their new studios. Beck pulled Jade in for a quick passionate kiss.

"Who knew some high school friends could do this," André elbowed Beck in the back. With a smile, Beck turned to his best friend and makes a nodding gesture to the crowd where an older Sikowitz stands beaming up at his former students.

"He did."

Again. I'm sorry this took so long. I'll try to get the last few chapters up sooner rather than later.

Until Next Time!
