1 The Lives We Lead

Chapter 4



Over the next 2 months Tia and Emily were busy recording their record, but it was hard with two babies who had both started crawling (it was more like scooting) all over the place, Chloe was up there a lot, because that is where her office was before she 'died', and she had Michaela up there, so they had Kristina to baby-sit while they were all working. She was great with them as long as she didn't have to have any as her own.

One day, Chloe was in her office drawing sketches, because it was about the time she started sketches for the Nurses' Ball, and Tia, and Emily were recording one of the last few songs on the record, they were going to sing at the Nurses' Ball, they had brought Jenna in a she sang a song with them, she had a beautiful voice, they got through for the day, and they walked into the lobby, "Sam, Kali!" Tia and Emily yelled, as they ran over to them, and gave them hugs. Samantha Hobbs and Kalista Manning. Emily, Tia, and Mia knew them from the rehab center, and hadn't talked to each other since Sam and Kali got out of rehab. "Mommy, Mommy" Kristina laughed, "I think that these 2 are looking for you." As she picked up Austin and Chaeci, and handed them to Emily, and Tia. "You guys have kids?" Sam asked "Yeah, this is my daughter, Chaeci, and my nephew, Austin." Tia said "Which is also my son." Emily said "Cool" Kali said "Mia will be so happy to see you guys." Tia said "Cool, does she have any kids?" Sam asked "No." Emily said "Well guys I kind of hate to ask, but do you have a place we can stay for awhile?" Kali asked "Sure, if you don't mind sleeping on the couch." Emily said "No, we don't mind." Sam said "We just need a place to stay until we find a permanent place to stay." Kali said "So you guys are staying here in PC?" Tia asked "Yeah, we will probably start college here next fall." Sam said "Cool" Emily said "Well I think that we are through here, but I have to go tell Kristina and Chloe that we are leaving, then we can go home." Tia said, so they did, and then went home. When they got home, Mia was there "Oh my gosh, what are you guys doing here?" Mia said as she went up and gave them hugs "Well we are moving here." Sam said "And planning on going to PCU next fall" Kali added "Cool, guys that's great!" Mia said "They are staying here for a few days" Emily said

So they got all of their stuff in, about that time the others came in, and at this time Chance and Zander were still living there, and they all wanted to know who it was "Guys, this is Samantha Hobbs, and Kalista Manning, a.k.a. Sam, and Kali." Tia said "Hi!" Sam and Kali said in unison. Everyone came up and greeted, then they ordered Chinese (these people really don't like to cook). They got through eating about 7:30. Mandie, Summer, and Liz wanted to get to know them, so they took the kids to Audrey's, who had been dying to baby-sit them, and they all went out and went cruising, also to get Sam, and Kali some guys. They parked, and was out talking to Alison, Livvie, and some of their other friends. Some guys pulled, up and started talking to Sam, and Kali because everyone that cruised basically knew who was single, the guy that was talking to Kali his name was Caiden, and the guy talking to Sam was named Thomas, they were both pretty cool, and so they all talked for awhile, then they decided to go home, and it was Thursday night so they needed to go home, because they all had to get up early and do something.

The next day, Mandie, Liz, Mia, and Summer headed off to work, Emily and Tia had to go do some more recording, and Sam, and Kali was going to find them an apartment they could share. So Tia, and Emily were at L&B, and Audrey had taken Jenna, and Jordan to school, and brought Ethan, Chaeci, and Austin by L&B, "Hey Kristina!" she said "here are the children I was told to leave with you." "Okay, thanks Ms. Hardy" Kristina replied
