Chapter 2
(okay clarification, in the setting it said in June Tia and Emily were 1 month pregnant , but they were 3 months pregnant)
January 2004
Over the next month they stayed in the hospital with Chaeci, and they brought Michaela in to see her new sister even though she was just 3 months old, and she didn't understand. They still hadn't quite started the adoption of Michaela, because there was some legal stuff they had to go through. It was about a week before Christmas, and Emily and Tia were sitting in Chaeci's hospital room, and Emily's water broke, she said "Oh my god, T, this is it!" So Tia called the nurse in there, and they got Emily wheeled to the delivery room. Tia called Zander, and told him "get here now, you're going to be a father," so Zander got there as fast as he could. Within the next hour they had a beautiful baby boy, they named him Austin Aleczander, he had brown hair and brown eyes, he had Zander's lips, and Emily's nose and ears. Tia's daughter had a cousin, and she had a nephew.
About 2 days later they got to take both of them home. Zander, and Chance stayed at the gatehouse, in Emily and Tia's rooms. They hated to do it,but both Jenna and Jordan's rooms were so big, so they moved Jordan in with Jenna, and put 3 cribs in Jordan's old room, 1 for Mica, which is what they called her, 1 for Chaeci, and 1 for Austin.
They had been home about 1 month, Tia, Mia, and Emily had planned to start college the next fall, and Tia and Emily had started singing and Ned was going to get them on with L&B, so they were the only ones at home, with the kids of course, and there was a knock on the door, Tia got up to answer it, she opened it and she fainted.
"Tia, Tia, oh my god, Tia wake up" Emily yelled, and Tia started waking up. "Guys what happened?" Tia asked, she woke up and she was in her bed. "Chloe, oh my god, you're suppose to be dead, but you are here" she said. "Well, did they tell you that I was dead?" Chloe asked. "Yes," Emily replied. "Well, Helena took me away, and held me hostage on this island, and I got away, I've already went to Alexis and Ned's, and Alexis said that her daughter had my daughter, and I thought that was strange, but congrats anyways," Chloe said, "You're lucky that we haven't got the adoption started yet, so you can have Michaela back," Tia said, she just wanted to bust out bawling, but she didn't want Chloe to think that she didn't want her to have Michaela back. "Can we just have one more night with her"? Tia asked "That way Chance will get to say goodbye to her, and I can get all of her stuff washed and together, and I will have her ready at noon tomorrow." "Okay," Chloe said cheerfully, "but first I have to see her, and your children," "Okay" Tia said starting to get up, "Oh no you don't, you stay in bed" Mia scolded. "Well bring them all in here." So Mia came in carrying Chaeci, and Emily with Austin, and Chloe with Michaela. "Well Chloe, what do you think of your daughter now?" Tia asked. "Oh god, Tia, she's beautiful, and you have taken good care of her" Chloe answered. "Well this is my daughter Chaeci Alexia Kristin Barnes." Tia told her, "and this is my son Austin Aleczander Smith" Emily added. "They are both beautiful children" Chloe said, "but I'd better get going, and I will be back tomorrow about noon," "Okay" Mia said, they took the babies back to their room, and Mia and Emily escorted Chloe out. They came back to Tia's room to find her crying, "Oh sweetie," Mia said, "I know that you don't want Chloe to take her, but she is her real mother." "I know" Tia started, "but I have raised her most of her life, which isn't much, but still." They tried to stay strong for Tia, but after awhile they both started crying.
A few hours later, Chance came in and Tia had been sitting in their room for awhile, and then she went into the babies' room, and just held Michaela, and cried, when Chance came in, Tia told him what was the matter, "but I thought that Chloe was dead" he said. Well she was kidnapped, and held hostage" Tia told him. He felt so bad that there wasn't much he could do, except just console her.
That night Tia stayed up most of the night, but when she went to bed she couldn't sleep, she was going crazy. Chance talked to her for awhile. All she could think about was that her baby that she raised for 4 months was getting taken away from her.
The next day about 11:30 A.M., Tia had been crying, and she was finishing getting stuff ready for Chloe to take Michaela. There was a knock on the door, "Hmm, she's early" Tia said to Michaela who was sitting in her car seat, she opened the door, and it was Chloe. "We need to talk" she told Tia. "About what?" Tia asked. "About Michaela" Chloe replied, "You see I know that this isn't easy since you have raised her for the past 4 months, and I want you and Chance to know that I want you two, and Chaeci to be a part of Michaela's life, and that she will know what happened with this whole mess." "Okay, thank you Chloe, you don't know how much that means to me, I want you to take her, but like you said this isn't easy, and to tell ya the truth I stayed up and cried all night." Tia said. "yeah, I figured that, that's why I told you that." Chloe said. "Well her she is, and I will go get her things, and tell you some stuff that you might need to know." Tia said, and she went upstairs, and got Michaela's things, "This is her feeding schudule, it's for Chance and Zander, but I will give it to you, and this is her favorite toy" she said holding up a stuffed teddy bear, "she's had it since you left and she won't go to sleep without it, she also won't sleep without a nightlight, oh and I have her crib that was over at your house, I will have Chance and Zander bring it over later" Okay, well I have to go home, and make some calls, so I will see you later, and if you ever want to see her, even if it's 2 in the morning just come on over, and you can see her" Chloe said, "Well I don't think we will be doing that, but I will come over, oh and Chloe," Tia said, "Yeah?" "Thanks again." Tia said, "You're welcome, and thank you." With that Chloe put Michaela in her car and drove off, Tia felt a little better, now that she heard that from Chloe.
