-Chapter 67-Regionals baby-

-Cassandra pov-

Today is finally the day. All of the local schools are going to be here. Regionals is going to be tough. It was supposed to be only three of us.

We were going to have only a few but that got changed. The board was forced to add more to the competition. We had a easy chance but some parents were not happy. We finally found out why we are being pulled.

Apparently not all neighbors liked us. Those neighbors talked and got together. Now all of these schools are coming for us. They want us gone from New York.

We talked to our students parents before the contest. They all seemed to be on board with Dalton. They want their kids to be with us. Everyone is coming with us if we have to leave.

"We are about to go on" I take a deep breath and look at everyone "No matter what happens..I love all of you ok? You have been such amazing students and to those that will be coming to Dalton...We will beat New York's ass next year! To the seniors I want updates! I will keep you updated on me so it is only fair! To the ones taking over the studio! I best see happy kids and trophies ok? The lights are flickering so now it is time to go out and kick some ass!"

They all cheer as they run out of the room. This is all up to them now. I have done all I can to prepare them. We just have to sing and then be there for awards.

I follow them to the back as they get ready. Up first is our solo. I look at Marley and smile. I nod and she walks out so the music can start.

-Marley singing-

I know that we are young

And I know that you may love me

But I just can't be with you like this anymore

Alejandro

She's got both hands

In her pocket

And she won't look at you (won't look at you)

She hides true love

En su bolsillo

She's got a halo around her finger

Around you

You know that I love you boy

Hot like Mexico

Rejoice

At this point I've gotta choose

Nothing to lose

Don't call my name

Don't call my name

Alejandro

I'm not your babe

Burned before him

Hot like Mexico

Rejoice

At this point I've gotta choose

Nothing to lose

The crowd claps and she takes a bow. She stays out as the dancers come out and our duet goes out. I smile at Sugar and Grace. They are going to rock this.

-Sugar-Grace-Both-

Now and then I think of when we were together

Like when you said you felt so happy you could die

Told myself that you were right for me

But felt so lonely in your company

But that was love and it's an ache I still remember

You can get addicted to a certain kind of sadness

Like resignation to the end, always the end

So when we found that we could not make sense

Well you said that we would still be friends

But I'll admit that I was glad that it was over

But you didn't have to cut me off

Make out like it never happened and that we were nothing

And I don't even need your love

But you treat me like a stranger and that feels so rough

No you didn't have to stoop so low

Have your friends collect your records and then change your number

I guess that I don't need that though

Now you're just somebody that I used to know

Now you're just somebody that I used to know

Now you're just somebody that I used to know

Now and then I think of all the times you screwed me over

But had me believing it was always something that I'd done

But I don't wanna live that way

Reading into every word you say

You said that you could let it go

And I wouldn't catch you hung up on somebody that you used to know

But you didn't have to cut me off

Make out like it never happened and that we were nothing

And I don't even need your love

But you treat me like a stranger and that feels so rough

No you didn't have to stoop so low

Have your friends collect your records and then change your number

I guess that I don't need that though

Now you're just somebody that I used to know

Somebody

(I used to know)

Somebody

(Now you're just somebody that I used to know)

Somebody

(I used to know)

Somebody

(Now you're just somebody that I used to know)

(I used to know)

(That I used to know)

(I used to know)

Somebody

The crowd is losing it as the whole group goes out. I am smiling so wide right now. I feel like my face is about to split in two! These kids have done so great!

We should definitely win this! But even if we don't, they should proud. They are giving it their all. That is all I could have asked for.

Hey! Hey! You! You!

So, come over here and tell me what I wanna hear

Hey! Hey!

The crowd loses it more and my club bows. They run off the stage smiling so happily. That is when it comes crashing down. I feel a tap and see a worried Shelby.

"They have gone into labor" My eyes fly open and I look at the kids "You can stay with them"

"Like hell we are staying!" June steps forward "You al have taught us that family comes first"

"They are right" We turn to see some parents standing there "You have given our kids smiles and have made them more active! My boy John never sang at home! Now you can never get him to stop!"

"Marley was so shy" Millie smiles "Now she is doing solos! She never would have done that"

"You became family to our kids" A mom points toward the exit "You need to be with your family"

I look at them then the stage "If we leave then we lose" I look at the kids "I can not force you out of New York!"

"Then it is good we are forcing ourselves out" The kids all start walking to their parents "We will see you in Lima!"

"I told you that you are a good teacher" I look at Shelby and smile "Let's go to our girls"

I nod and we take off for the exit. I hear our daughters running with us. We have babies on the way! Oh I hope we do not miss anything!

-Time skip-Sugar pov-

We have been in the waiting room for hours! John has been trying to get James but nothing works. The whole club is waiting now! I do feel bad for them.

They got disqualified and would have won. But I am happy we have so much support. Dalton will have a great music program. I stand when see James walk in with a smile.

"Blood family first please" The club motions us to go and we all follow him "Go in"

We walk in and a smile breaks out. They all look so beautiful! We have new baby sisters! Yeah our family is a bit weird.

I walk over and pick up one of Emma's twins. She looks so beautiful. I feel the rooms silence about to end. When I look up I see Shelby step to the middle.

"We are going back to Lima" She smiles as she holds a baby "But that is ok! Cause we are going as a family! WE did our and have nothing to be ashamed of! We tried our best and stayed together...that is all we could have ever wanted"

"Now we go home" Judy walks over and hugs Shelby "We go home together as a family"

We all smile as some of the babies yawn. This is not how we planned New York going. But in the end it all kinda worked out. I am not too torn up about leaving.

Honestly I can not wait to go back. I wanna see what our future holds for us there. I hope it is finally fully good. But if it isn't, we can handle it.

Because together we can overcome what comes next.
