Just Another Regualar Monday

Disclaimer: I do not own of the In a Heartbeat characters. Shame I would have fun with them.
Anyway I own nothing, but the idea for this story. I also do not own any music I might use
throughout this series. I will try to list the music and the artist at the bottom of each
installment.
Summary: This is a future fic about Caite, Jaime, Val, and Tyler. It starts off in 2004 and then into 2012. So
this is probably going to be a long fic. If you have any suggestions just email me or put it in
your review.
*********************************************************************************************
Tyler pulled on his letter jacket and his worried smile. He was worried about his Val and he needed to see her soon. It was thier anniversary right, so weren't they supposed to be together for this.
He was nervous he kept telling himself.
"She's probably just out shopping or at the lab working on a project," he tried to reassure himself.
"Besides it gives me time to pick up the surprize and the ring," he thought with a cocky grin.
*************************************************************************************************
Jamie carried the light girl down the hall and to the elevator for a ride home. He was worried
about her and both of them knew it, but he couldn't help being excited about her spending the next
few nights over. Her cold hands had found his shirt and was trying her best to twist it in her palms
to keep warm. They kept meeting his stomach everytime she switched a position on the bike, which
in this case didn't bother him other than the coldness of her hands.
Catie was cold and tired, but she couldn't help but notice the slight change, okay radical change
in her heartbeat. It was something she was almost used to when being around him. He just made her
nervous and excited all at the same time. She knew it was love, but that was supposed to be for
people who were good and always happy, not a gothic chick like herself.
"I take it your cold huh."
"How can you tell," Catie said with a smirk.
"Well, for one you're hands are ice and your chattering teeth are giving my back a massage."
"Ohh. Sorry."
That's all she said for the 10 minute ride home. She was too tired to really talk about anything
over the beating of the wind. Besides Jamie knew she had to think about things at the time. She would
talk to him later about the video Val had told him about. Catie had remembered it was the day they
had said they would do it.
"Hey dork you ready? We're home!"
"Yeah. Whatever."
"I'll carry you in if you hurt."
"Okay."
Nothing really hurt anymore other than her neck and ribs, but everything else was just numb.
With that he picked her up off the bike and walked her to the third floor of his small apartment.
He found the key off his shirt and opened the door with little struggle. He walked to the common
room and layed her on the comfy couch. Then turned and put in the tape she had made.
"Jamie no you didn't."
"Catie just watch okay then I'm going to make you some coffee and then get you ready for bed."
"Boy that sounds promising", she replied with a smirk and a hint of a light in her eyes.

Been running from
this feeling for so long
telling my heart
I didn't need you
pretending I was better off alone

The tape started with a little fuzz in which Jamie took the liberty of putting Catie's legs on his lap for her comfort. He had it rewound so it would start at her confession. They watched as she poured out her heart and soul. Then where Cordie and Ophie had their fight over whether they should have put juice out for the baby or not, in it's place was Jamie. He had taken out the tape earlier and put it in Tyler's camcorder and taped his confession. Catie watched waiting for the line; "Catie I love you......as a sister and nothing more I hope you can except it."

but I know that is just a lie
so afraid of taking a chance agian
so afraid of what I feel inside
but I need to be next to you
ohh I ohh I
I need to share
every breath with you

Catie rubbed her eyes as she watched Jamie, her Jamie, walk up to the camera and fumble with his jacket. She watched in complete disbelief as he moved his hand through his already messy hair and mumbled the words that would forever change her life.

ohh i ohh i
I need to know
I can see
your smile each morning
Look into your eyes
each night
for the rest of my life
Near with me here with me
I need to be next you

"Catie, I love you and not the way you think I'm going to say. Yes I know you well too! I love you the way Tyler loves Val or the way Hank loves Jasmine. I love you so much that it's almost a part of me now. I remembered that line you read to me the day of your father's funeral. You said that with so much passion and courage and I didn't know what you had meant. Well now I do and I hope you still feel the same way you did. I'm going to go pick you up now and show you this tape and pray that I'm not humilating myself for nothing. Who knows maybe one day on a Regular everyday Monday we'll get married like you said you wanted when we watched Runaway Bride."
Catie now sat in awe, she kept waiting to wake up and find herself in high school agian. She didn't know what to say or what to do. It was all so unlike anything she had experienced. No-one had ever made her feel like she was in Val's life before, where everything was just perfect like this moment was.
"Well Catie?"
Jamie was getting a little nervous, okay way understatment he thought to himself. This was more of the way he felt before he had kissed Maria, his kindergarden girlfriend.
"Well Dork let's just say I expected less from you."
"That's all you're going to say!"
"Well unless you wanna talk some more before this...."
Catie moved ever so slightly to brush her lips agianst his in a tender, but mouth watering embrace. She had never felt so safe and warm in her entire adult life, just the way he slid his hand to her waist gently and put the least amount of pressure there was suductive, but still familar. He knew how to kiss a girl that was for sure, she thought when they let it end.
No-one said anything for a long time, they both were just trying to process everything into thier one track we're only going to be friends mode. Everything was still, but it wasn't the harsh quiet that every couple fears it was the comforting and loving one. Where everything is right and it's just lossing eachother.
When something finally did move it had been the dog Midget. She, a three-year old dozen waited patiently for her master to fill her bowl and then rub her stomach. She often whined while be "patient", it was her way of checking to see if they hadn't forgotten her among the college air.
"Yeah, Yeah girl I see ya."
"Hi princess," Catie replied quietly.
Jamie removed himself from Catie's small frame, and went to feed the mutt.
*************************************************************************************
Brooke sat at the front of the table with Ophie and Nick at both of her sides. Her parents, or rather thier parents, sat at the other head. Everything was passed except the turnip greens. Brooke knew she was supposed to eat them so she wouldn't risk getting collen cancer, but that mushy crap was too much to think about on top of eating her mother's badly burned casserole. She loved her mother, adored her mother, but this was too much. The idea of having to eat this only so she wouldn't hurt her mom's already overly-sensitive feelings was bull. The black crust and brown swiggly inside was enough to put her in the hospital for hernea. Okay so maybe she was just in a bad mood about the whole getting up early thing.
"Brooke you okay? You know Juliet finally talked yesterday," Ophie remarked finally breaking the silence.
"Ohh that is soo sweet", her mother replied with sincerity.
Brooke often babysitted for the 4 month baby when Ophie and Cordilia were out with thier mother on the famous shopping trips. Juliet had been named by Jamie, they had decided on it since Ophilia and Cordilia went together ,along with William and Gweneth, so should Romeo and Juliet.William was Jaime's first name and then his little brother's namr was Romeo. His birthday was on Valentine's Day so it seemed fitting. And Gweneth was Jamie's youngest sister other than baby Jule.
"Brooke your father and I have some news, we're adopting!
The room quieted and the tension could easily be cut with a butter knife. Brooke's eyes widened and went back into her sockets, her parents were oblivios to it all, Nick sat trying to breathe, and Ophie smiled at the idea of a little baby she could call sissy.
"I think that's a great idea mom, I mean you've done so well with your first 4", Ophie said with sincerity.
"Yeah", Nick choked.
"Are you increadibly and utterly insane or something!?!?"
*************************************************************************************
Hank and Jasmine sat on the orange seats of a busteling airport waiting for his best friend in the world, Tyler Connel, to come pick them up. He had come on recruiting buisiness, in other words trying to recruit ,the scared of commetment, Val Linear into getting engaged to the love of her life. It shouldn't be that hard he thought to himself.
Jasmine fidgeted slightly as Hank moved to put his arm around her. She only fidgeted because of the coolness of his wedding ring. She was truly tired after 6 hours in the plane from Riley North Carolina to Seattle, and the pains of being 8 monthes pregnant weren't that great either. It was a girl and the name had already been decided years before she had been conceived, she was Maddison Valerie.
Tyler Connel walked to the other side of the set of bright orange chairs to see his partner in crime. He waited anxiously for Hank and his wife to see him.
"Hey stranger!" Jasmine squealed.
"Hey you guys!"
"Hi Connel!"
The two young men grasped in a hug and through tearful smiles patted eachother on the back. When the hug broke off Tyler grabbed Jasmine's bags and led the couple to the car. Hank and Jasmine followed with Hank's bag and the labor bag just in case.
