The Lives We Lead

Chapter 1

"Zander, come on, get your ass down here now" Tia yelled from downstairs of the gatehouse, "Yeah, let's go, unless you don't wanna find out who our real parents are, get the hell down here" Mia yelled, Zander came walking down the stairs saying "alright, alright, I'm coming, just chill." "Well I can't help it if I don't have any patience," "for one thing you can help it, and you're gonna have to if that child is as stubborn as you," Mia laughed. Before they could make it to the door, there was a knock, Tia opened it, and it was Rick and Pam, "Mom, Dad what are you guys doing here ?" Zander asked, "What are you doing here, Zander ?" Pam asked, "I came here 2 years ago to find my sisters" Tia and Mia were whispering behind Zander "Do you think I should tell them that I'm pregnant?" Tia said," No, I don't think so" Mia said, "well where are Jenna & Jordan?" Rick asked "They're at the mall with Mandy and Emily." "Guys, you don't mind watching your little brother for awhile do
you?" Pam asked Mia said "yes" knowing that they would never see either of them again. "Great this is Ethan, and he is 2" said Rick, as he handed Ethan to Tia, and his bag to Mia. With that they left, and Tia, Mia, and Zander went off in search of their real parents, they knew they all had the same parents, but they didn't know who it is.

They came back 2 hours later exhausted, and Ethan was asleep on Tia's shoulder. Mandie, Emily, Jenna, and Jordan had come back from the mall. " Who the hell is that?!" Mandie asked, "Jenna, Jordan, guys this is our little brother Ethan, he's 2 and Mom and Dad brought him by." Mia said "So what did you guys find out?" Emily asked "Well our dad is James Smith, and our mom is, get this, Alexis" Tia said "Alexis, as in my cousin's wife, Alexis?" Emily asked "Yeah" Zander replied. "Oh my god" Emily said. "Does she know?" Mandie asked "No," Tia said, "but we need to tell her" "right, so we might need to go now" Zander said

They got to her Penthouse, and knocked on the door "I have a feeling there is going to bed a lot of crying" Tia said, "Well, I'm kind of mad because she gave us up" Mia said "Well she was only 16 when she had me and 17 when she had you two, so I don't blame her." Zander said, "well still" Mia shot back, Alexis answered the door, "Hey guys what are you doing here?" "We need to talk to you" Tia said, "Okay, about what?" Alexis asked "Well we did some digging and found out some stuff" Zander said, "What kind of stuff?" Alexis asked "Alexis, we found out that you are our biological mother" Mia said "H-how can that be, I was only pregnant twice and those were still-births" Alexis said with tears forming in her eyes "When are your birthdays?" "Mine is August 19^th" Zander said, "and ours is March 6^th" Tia said "Oh my god, it all adds up, do you know who your father is?" Alexis asked "Well the papers said that James Smith is our father" Mia said, "but they told me that my babies
were dead when they were born" Alexis said, "well we're not" Tia said. They talked a little while longer, and Tia and Zander told her that she was going to be a grandmother 2 times.

It was early September, and Chloe had her baby 2 hours ago, it was a little girl named Michaela Danyelle Jacks. She had sandy blonde hair and bright blue eyes. Chloe made Alexis promise that if something ever happened to Chloe that she would take care of Michaela. And as fate had it, one late September day, the phone rang and Tia was at Alexis' so she answered it, they were babysitting Michaela, it was the hospital they said that Chloe had been killed, and they couldn't save her. So Alexis had to take care of Michaela, "I'm 37, and have never taken care of a baby before, and I don't want to" she said. So she decided, that her sister, Kristina, could because she was younger, but Kristina was a little scared, so they decided to give her to Emily or Tia, because that way she would have a sister or brother, so Tia took her, she had to call Jax to see if he wanted her, and get his blessing for Tia and Chance to adopt Michaela. He did so, they were going to start after their baby
was born.

In November, Michaela was 2 months old, and Tia was 6 weeks away from her due date, but she went into premature labor, she got scared, and Mia drove her to the hospital, and called Alexis and Chance on the way, they got there, and the baby decided it didn't want to wait, so within 30 mins of getting to the hospital they had a beautiful baby girl, another one, they decided to name her Chaeci Alexia Kristin Barnes, she was small so they took her to NICU, and after about 2 hours Tia, and Chance got to go see her, she had auburn only more red hair, Alexis

Said she got it from her great-grandmother, Kristin, and she had greenish-blue eyes from both Chance and Tia.
