Chapter 5
A month later
"Happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you" everyone sang, it was Tia and Mia's birthday, they were finally 21. They were all at the Port Charles Grille, and they were having a party for them. They were eating, and they had a cake at home, they were going to eat it when they got there. They opened presents, talked for awhile, and ate then they got ready to go after being there for about an hour and a half. So they got in cars and headed to the gatehouse, but most of them had to do something before they went to the house, but Emily was driving in her Mustang with Tia, Liz, Jenna, and Jordan. Austin, and Chaeci were staying with Kristina, because Emily and Tia finished recording, and she never got to see the kids. So Emily, Tia, Liz, Jenna, and Jordan, were going straight to the gatehouse. They had stopped at the Charles St. & Broadway stoplight, then the light turned green, and they headed through the intersection, Liz happened to look over, and she yelled "Emily stop there's a car coming!" but it was to late, because about that time, the other car plowed right into the side of Emily's car that Tia, and Liz was on.
"Oh my god, Mandie, stop that's Emily's car." Summer said "Where?" Mia asked "Right there, the one in that wreck." Mandie said "Oh my god, Liz, Tia, Jenna, and Jordan were with her too." Summer said. Mia grabbed her cell phone, and dialed 911, "Um, yes, I'm at the intersection of Charles St. and Broadway, there has been a 2-car accident, and we need probably about 6 ambulances now!" she said "Okay ma'am we will have them out there A.S.A.P." the dispatcher said. Mia, Summer, and Mandie got out of Mandie's Jeep Wrangler, and ran over to the mangled cars, finding Tia, and Liz just crushed, Emily hanging over the dash board, and Jenna, and Jordan both with glass all over their bodies, and Jordan was in the middle so her little body was crushed, all of them was unconcious, in the other car was a guy who was about in his 20s, and he unconcious as well. Mia, Summer, and Mandie could do nothing, but cry. They heard sirens coming up the street, they got there, and the police had the girls back up so they could tape it off, and paramedics were running everywhere putting all involved in the wreck in ambulances. Mia, Summer, and Mandie jumped in the jeep, and took off to General Hospital. (A/N: I took the whole car wreck storyline and turned it around a little)
On the way Summer grabbed her cell, and called Nikolas, "Nik, Tia, Emily, Liz, Jenna, and Jordan were in a wreck, tell the other guys and get here." She told him "Oh my god what happened?" Nikolas asked "I will tell ya when you get here, bye." With that she hung up. "Guys, Tia, Emily, Jenna, Jordan and Liz were in a wreck c'mon we have to go." Nikolas said. So they all got there, and sat worried for about an hour, then the doctor came out, they all had to be put in ICU , except for Jenna, because she had just gotten banged up real bad, and a broken leg, and she was in a room, and so Mia, and Zander went to see her first they said she was awake. "Jenna, hey sweetie haw are you feeling?" Mia asked "I feel okay I guess, but what happened?" she asked "Well do you remember the party?" Zander asked "Yeah." Jenna said "Well you, Tia, Emily, Jordan, and Liz were going home and you were hit by another car." Zander explained "Jordan, is she okay, is my little sister okay?" Jenna cried "Well everyone else is in ICU, but they should all be okay." Mia said, she couldn't tell her the truth "Ethan, he wasn't with us was he, or Chaeci or Austin?" she asked "No, Ethan were with, me, Lucky, and Chance, and Chaeci and Austin were with Kristina" Zander said "And now, they are in the waiting room with Summer, and all them" Mia added "do you want to see any of them, because we need to go check on Tia, Emily, Liz, and Jordan" "Yeah, have any of them come in here." Jenna said "Well I think that Lucky, Mandie, Chance, and Summer are coming with us, so if you don't you care Alison, Livvie, Nikolas, and Sly will come in here with Ethan." Mia told her "Yeah, okay, but when do I get to see Georgie and Serena?" Jenna asked "Well we will call them later, okay." Mia said. With that, they left, and headed upstairs., Zander, Chance and Mia went into Tia's room first, Mandie and Lucky went into Liz's, and Summer went into Emily's, but Jordan was on the pediatric wing of the ICU. Zander, Chance followed Mia into Tia's room, she looked pitiful with all those tubes coming out of her body, Mia busted out bawling, and turned around and buried her head into Zander's chest who was also crying, Chance went over, and sit down by Tia, who they said was in a coma, actually all of them were. "Oh baby, why did this have to happen again? Why did you have to be in another wreck? You got hurt again, and I don't like to see you hurt." He held her hand, and put his head on her bed. Zander couldn't see his sister hurt again, or his girlfriend, but he went into Emily's room, because he thought that Summer might need someone. Emily looked about the same as Tia, brusies all over her body, and small shards of glass still in her body, he walked over to Summer "How have you been holding up?" he asked as he put his hands on her shoulders "Well about as good as everyone, which isn't very good, we've been to hell and back it seems." Summer said "How is Mia, and Tia?" she asked "Tia is about the same as Emily, and Mia she's going crazy, thinking that she might loose her twin sister, they have that twin bond." Zander said with tears streaming down his face. Meanwhile, in Liz's room, Lucky and Mandie could only comfort each other, they were both crying. Then, with Chance in Tia's room, Summer in Emily's, and Lucky and Mandie in Liz's, Mia and Zander headed to Jordan's room.
They got down there, and she had about twice as many tubes coming out of her than the rest of them, they had to do emergency surgery on her because she was crushed, because she only weighed 75 pounds, and was in the middle of the car. Mia cried "My baby sister why did this have to happen to you too?" "She will be okay," Zander told her "I will make sure of that." Mia looked up at him and smiled at her brother's assurance.
They walked back down towards Jenna's room, but before they got there they noticed a lot of people crowded around her door. "Hey!' he shouted as he got closer to her room "what the hell do you think you are doing?" he asked "Well we heard about the aspiring popstars, Tia Hardy and Emily Quartermaine, were in a car wreck." One of the reporters told Zander "Well both of them are in ICU, and in really bad condition." Zander shot back "I know that, we are here to see her sister." the reporter said "We'll I am her brother and if you know what's good for yourselves, you'd better tell your friends and all of you leave." Zander told him "Okay, okay sorry, people this guy said to leave." Some of them left, but not all of them. Zander grabbed a megaphone "Get out of this hospital, now!" he shouted, then they all left "And don't come back." He said, then he walked in his little sister's room "Zander, no one else will tell me, when will I get outta here?" Jenna asked "Well I can't tell you that either, hopefully in a few days, but right not it is almost midnight and you need to go to sleep." Zander told her "Do you want us to stay in here?" Mia asked "No, Alison, Sam, Kali, and Livvie said that they were coming back, and I think Gram is coming in here when she gets off." Jenna told her sister "Okay if you are sure." Zander said "I am." She said in reassurance "Okay, goodnight little sister" Mia told her, and they left her room, and headed to ICU, when here came Alexis "Oh mom." Mia said as she pulled her mother into embrace "Mia what happened?" she asked "I don't exactly know, but I know that they were hit by a drunk driver." Mia told her "Well, Zander, I know that you are debating on whether to stay in Tia's room or Emily's, stay in Emily's with Summer, because since they only let 2 immediate family members in at a time, and Summer might need someone." Alexis told him.
As they walked into the ICU, Zander spotted his cousin, "Sarah, what are you doing here?" he said "Well, I've come for my internship, and tonight I was put in the ICU, and to find that 1 of my sisters, 3 cousins, and a friend were in a car crash, and lying in a slight coma." Sarah said as she started crying "Well they will be okay." Zander told her "Yeah, you've always been the strong one in this family, and thought you were always the right one," Mia said "but, Sarah, I don't know if you heard but we are Alexis is our biological mother." "Yeah Lucky told me, but now I'm going to see Jordan." Sarah said, then Mia and Alexis walked back to Tia's room "So, this is the first mother to daughter talk I'm getting to have with you guys." Alexis said "Yeah, except for the fact that one of them is lying in a coma." Mia said "So, we need to talk to her anyway, so I didn't ever now this, which one of you are older?" Alexis asked trying to break some sadness "I am." Mia said then she turned to her sister "T, you need to wake up, come on, your daughter needs you, and so does Jordan, and Jenna, and Ethan, he's been asking for you, ya know, Tia, I need you too, Jordan is lying in a bed in another wing, also in a coma, her tiny body looks so sad, Gram is there with her, and Jenna she's not hurt so bad, but she is hurt. She's in regular room, Livvie, and Alison are in there with her, and Sarah came home." Mia said "Sweetheart, it's Alexis, or I guess you've already started calling me mom, because Mia has, but it doesn't matter to me. Livvie told me that Ethan has been crying to see you, and I called Kristina earlier, she sad that she thinks Chaeci knows that something happened to you because she has been crying, and she won't go to sleep." Alexis said. It was probably about 3 in the morning, but everyone was to worried and no one could sleep. At this time Alexis and Mia were in Tia's room, Zander and Summer in Emily's, Luck and Mandie in Liz's, Audrey and Sarah in and out of Jordan's, and Alison, Livvie, Chance,and Ethan in Jenna's. Alexis continued to talk to Tia, while Mia went to sleep. About 3 hours later, it was 6, and Alexis was telling Tia about how Kristina would talk to Chaeci just like Chaeci actually understood her, when Tia's eyes fluttered a little then she just woke up, looking a little groggy "Mama." She said "Oh my god, Tia, you're awake. Nurse!" Alexis yelled, the nurse came in the room, and checked her stats, and left a few minutes later Tia's doctor, Dr. Johnson, came in the room to talk to Alexis and Mia, Mia, wake up Dr. Johnson is here, and Tia woke up. He talked to them for awhile, then left. Alexis went to find Tia's family, while Mia talked to Tia's "Hey sis, you scared us there for awhile." She said "Sorry." Tia said "No, no it's okay, nothing to be sorry about. Do you remember what happened?" Mia asked "Well I remember it was our birthday, and me, and I dunno who else was going to the gatehouse, and from there it's blurry." Tia said "Do you know who was with me?" "Well, it was you, Emily, Tia, Jenna, and Jordan." Mia said , about that time Alexis came back with Zander, Chance, Sarah, and Audrey. "Chance and Zander walked on the other side of her bed "Hey sweetheart," Chance said "how are you feeling." "I'm in a little pain." Tia said "You've always been good at hiding your pain, physically and emotionally." Zander said "Okay, you caught me alot of pain." Tia said "Where is my daughter?" Tia asked "She's right here, along with your nephew, but be quiet, Audrey said they aren't suppose to be here." Kristina said as she came in the room, and handed Chaeci to Tia, and Austin to Zander. "Man I must have missed out on a lot. You guys have kids and all." Sarah said "Oh no one told about them?" Zander said "Nope." Sarah replied "Well this is mine and Emily's son Austin Aleczander Quartermaine-Smith." Zander said "And this is Chaeci Alexia Kristin Hardy-Barnes, which is mine and Chance's daughter. You have met Chance right?" Tia added " Yes I have. Wow, they are both beautiful." Sarah said "Tia, they said that you might get to move to a regular room tomorrow, since you've come out of your coma." "Alright." Tia said. "Guys, guys!" Summer shouted "What is it?" Zander asked as he ran into Emily's room, knowing something happened with her "Look." Summer said "Oh my god, Emily, you're awake too!" Zander said as he leaned down and kissed her "Look who we have here." Austin, hey baby, what are you doing?" Emily took her son and held him close "Guys what exactly happened?" "Well sis your car was hit by a drunk driver, on the passenger side, and Liz, Tia, Jenna, and Jordan was with you." Summer said "Oh my god, are they okay?" Emily asked "Well as far as we know, Jenna should get out today with a broken leg, Jordan and Liz are still in a coma, and Tia came out of a coma about an hour ago" Monica said as she came in Emily's room, "and as they told Tia, since you came out of a coma you can go to a regular room today, and you should be out in about 5 or 6 days, but Tia, Liz, and Jordan have a long road ahead of them, the car hit on Liz, and Tia's side, and Jordan was so small that, she was hurt badly."
Later that day
"Well I'm glad that we are in a regular room, and we are in the same one." Emily said "Yeah, and we can have Ethan, Chaeci, and Austin in here with us without getting in trouble." Tia added "Hey you guys." Jenna said as she walked in "Hey, goin' for the sporty school spirit
look, huh?" Emily laughed "hey you leave me and my Mustang suit alone." Jenna said as she grined "How are you Jen?" Tia asked "Well except for being in this stupid cast, and a little pain, they said from whiplash, I feel pretty good, you." Jenna replied "Well I just came out of a coma, and I have about 7 tubes, including needles, coming out of my body, and I feel like I have been hit by a train, or car, and it hurts to move, now Em, it's your turn, how do you feel?" Tia said "Well I feel better than Tia, but I still hurt." Emily said, about that time, Zander and Chance came in with Chaeci, Austin, and Ethan, "Hey, Jenna tonight you, Ethan, Austin, and Chaeci are staying at Gram's with Sarah, okay." Zander said "Okay, cool, so right now I need to go talked to Sarah." Jenna said as she walked out of the room on her crutches. "T-ya!" Ethan said as his eyes got big, and he squirmed out of Zander's arms over to Tia's bed "Up!" he shouted "Okay, Ethan, but be careful, Tia is hurting really bad." Zander told his little brother "Otay" Ethan said. Zander put Ethan on Tia's bed and he leaned down and kissed her on the cheek, he was really careful, but after a few minutes Sarah came in "Ethan, we have to go okay, say bye-bye to them." She told him "Bye-bye." He muttered "Bye, guys" Sarah and Jenna said in unison, both with baby carriers in hand. "So what's new?" Chance asked "Well they expect a full recovery for both of us." Emily said. About that time Tia's machine started going off, doctors and nurses ran in the room, they rushed her out, about 5 minutes later Dr. Johnson came in and said that she was okay, but she had to be put back in ICU, and she was asleep. Emily had went to sleep "Summer if Emily wakes up, tell her where we went." Zander said "Okay, I will." Summer said, after they left Summer was talking to a sleeping Em, "Gosh, sis you look so pale, and sick, I can't even imagine how much pain you are in." Just then Nikolas walked in with a bunch of flowers "Hey baby, I brought Em some flowers, and here are some for you too." He said "Oh thanks, but be quiet she's asleep." Summer said "Okay, where's Tia? Summer what happened?" He said scared "Well a few minutes ago we was just sitting here talking, and her one of her machines started going off and she went into kinda like convulsions, and the moved her back up to ICU." She told Nikolas "God, Nik, I'm so scared" "It will be okay." He assured her. Meanwhile, Zander and Chance were headed to Tia's room, when Mia came practically running up the hall "What happened?" Zander asked "It's Jordan, she's out of her coma!" She said "Okay, Chance if you want, go on to Tia's room, and I will be there after I go see my sister." Zander said "Okay, see ya lata." Chance said "Why is he going that way, it's easier to get to Emily and Tia's room if you take this elevator." Mia asked "I will tell you when we get to Jordy's room." Jordy is what Zander called her, she called him Zandy, and they never let anyone else call them that. They got to Jordan's room, before they went in "Okay what happened?" Mia asked "We were sitting in their room, and one of her machines started going off, they ended up having to put her back in ICU." Zander explained "Oh my god, go on in, and talk to Jordan, I will be back." Mia yelled and she took off running towards Tia's room. Zander walked into Jordan's room "Hey Jordy, how are you feeling?" he asked the small girl "Zandy, I am so glad you are here, I hurt a lot," Jordan said "Well it shouldn't last long, before you know it you will be up and outta here." Zander smiled "I hope so. How is everyone else?" she asked "Well, Tia and Emily just got out of ICU this afternoon, but they just put Tia back in, and Liz is still in a coma, and Jenna she went to Gram's earlier with Sarah, Ethan, Chaeci, and Austin." Zander said "Okay, are they going to be okay?" Jordan asked "And Zander, don't you lie to me." "Well, we have no reason to doubt them recovering." Zander said "Promise?" she asked "Promise" he told her. Mia walked in the room, "How is she?" Zander asked "She's stable, in and out." Mia said "Well I better go, sorry Jordy, but I have to go." Zander said "Okay, Zandy, but come back soon." Jordan told her older sibling. He went to Tia's room, she was asleep. "Chance, how is she?" he asked "She's pretty stable, but she's in and out" Chance said "Zander, you're here, you should be with Emily." Tia said drowsily "Well, I am here with you." Zander said "Well, I kinda need to talk to Chance alone." Tia said in a meek voice "Okay, but can I borrow him for a minute?" Zander asked "Sure." Tia replied "Okay, seeya later, Tia." Zander said as he and Chance walked out "So are you going to propose tonight?" Zander asked "Yeah, are you?" Chance replied "Yeah, I can't wait to see the look on Emily's face." Zander said. They hadn't gotten married because they didn't want to just because of them babies, and they decided to wait. "Hey, seeya later, man." Chance said "Yeah, seeya later." Zander replied. He walked back down to Emily's room, and fiddled with the engagement ring that was in his jacket pocket. "Hey, girls what are we doing tonight?" he asked as he walked into Emily's room, "Well we are reading the latest issue of Cosmo, and watching Once and Again." Summer replied "Zander, have you heard about that guy that was in the other car?" Emily asked "Why do you want to know about the guy that almost killed you, my cousin, and your three future sister-in-laws?" Zander said "Well, he was in the other…wait a second, did you say future sister-in-laws?" Emily asked shocked. Zander got down on one knee and said "Emily, I love you with all my heart, would you do me the honors, and become my wife?" "Oh, my god." Summer murmured, Emily just got a big grin on her face "Yes, Zander, I will marry you." She said "This is my dream come true, we're getting married, and we have a beautiful son, life is good." "Yeah, it is huh." Zander laughed. "Summer, I'm getting married." Emily said overjoyed "I know it hun, I am so happy for you guys." Summer said
Meanwhile in Tia's ICU room, "Chance, how long has it been since you left the hospital?" Tia asked "I don't know." He replied "Well, I don't want to sound like I don't want you here, but you need to go home baby." Tia said in a low voice "Well I can't when my fiancee is in the hospital." Chance said "Did you just say what I thought you said?" Tia asked with "Tia Layne Hardy, will you marry me?" Chance said "Do you even hafta ask, of course I will." Chance sit down in the recliner beside Tia's bed, and watched his fiancee fall asleep.

She said "Oh my god, Tia, you're awake. Nurse!" Alexis yelled, the nurse came in the room, and checked her stats, and left a few minutes later Tia's doctor, Dr. Johnson, came in the room to talk to Alexis and Mia, Mia, wake up Dr. Johnson is here, and Tia woke up. He talked to them for awhile, then left. Alexis went to find Tia's family, while Mia talked to Tia's "Hey sis, you scared us there for awhile." She said "Sorry." Tia said "No, no it's okay, nothing to be sorry about. Do you remember what happened?" Mia asked "Well I remember it was our birthday, and me, and I dunno who else was going to the gatehouse, and from there it's blurry." Tia said "Do you know who was with me?" "Well, it was you, Emily, Tia, Jenna, and Jordan." Mia said , about that time Alexis came back with Zander, Chance, Sarah, and Audrey. "Chance and Zander walked on the other side of her bed "Hey sweetheart," Chance said "how are you feeling." "I'm in a little pain." Tia said "You've always been good at hiding your pain, physically and emotionally." Zander said "Okay, you caught me alot of pain." Tia said "Where is my daughter?" Tia asked "She's right here, along with your nephew, but be quiet, Audrey said they aren't suppose to be here." Kristina said as she came in the room, and handed Chaeci to Tia, and Austin to Zander. "Man I must have missed out on a lot. You guys have kids and all." Sarah said "Oh no one told about them?" Zander said "Nope." Sarah replied "Well this is mine and Emily's son Austin Aleczander Quartermaine-Smith." Zander said "And this is Chaeci Alexia Kristin Hardy-Barnes, which is mine and Chance's daughter. You have met Chance right?" Tia added " Yes I have. Wow, they are both beautiful." Sarah said "Tia, they said that you might get to move to a regular room tomorrow, since you've come out of your coma." "Alright." Tia said. "Guys, guys!" Summer shouted "What is it?" Zander asked as he ran into Emily's room, knowing something happened with her "Look." Summer said "Oh my god, Emily, you're awake too!" Zander said as he leaned down and kissed her "Look who we have here." Austin, hey baby, what are you doing?" Emily took her son and held him close "Guys what exactly happened?" "Well sis your car was hit by a drunk driver, on the passenger side, and Liz, Tia, Jenna, and Jordan was with you." Summer said "Oh my god, are they okay?" Emily asked "Well as far as we know, Jenna should get out today with a broken leg, Jordan and Liz are still in a coma, and Tia came out of a coma about an hour ago" Monica said as she came in Emily's room, "and as they told Tia, since you came out of a coma you can go to a regular room today, and you should be out in about 5 or 6 days, but Tia, Liz, and Jordan have a long road ahead of them, the car hit on Liz, and Tia's side, and Jordan was so small that, she was hurt badly."
Later that day
"Well I'm glad that we are in a regular room, and we are in the same one." Emily said "Yeah, and we can have Ethan, Chaeci, and Austin in here with us without getting in trouble." Tia added "Hey you guys." Jenna said as she walked in "Hey, goin' for the sporty school spirit
look, huh?" Emily laughed "hey you leave me and my Mustang suit alone." Jenna said as she grined "How are you Jen?" Tia asked "Well except for being in this stupid cast, and a little pain, they said from whiplash, I feel pretty good, you." Jenna replied "Well I just came out of a coma, and I have about 7 tubes, including needles, coming out of my body, and I feel like I have been hit by a train, or car, and it hurts to move, now Em, it's your turn, how do you feel?" Tia said "Well I feel better than Tia, but I still hurt." Emily said, about that time, Zander and Chance came in with Chaeci, Austin, and Ethan, "Hey, Jenna tonight you, Ethan, Austin, and Chaeci are staying at Gram's with Sarah, okay." Zander said "Okay, cool, so right now I need to go talked to Sarah." Jenna said as she walked out of the room on her crutches. "T-ya!" Ethan said as his eyes got big, and he squirmed out of Zander's arms over to Tia's bed "Up!" he shouted "Okay, Ethan, but be careful, Tia is hurting really bad." Zander told his little brother "Otay" Ethan said. Zander put Ethan on Tia's bed and he leaned down and kissed her on the cheek, he was really careful, but after a few minutes Sarah came in "Ethan, we have to go okay, say bye-bye to them." She told him "Bye-bye." He muttered "Bye, guys" Sarah and Jenna said in unison, both with baby carriers in hand. "So what's new?" Chance asked "Well they expect a full recovery for both of us." Emily said. About that time Tia's machine started going off, doctors and nurses ran in the room, they rushed her out, about 5 minutes later Dr. Johnson came in and said that she was okay, but she had to be put back in ICU, and she was asleep. Emily had went to sleep "Summer if Emily wakes up, tell her where we went." Zander said "Okay, I will." Summer said, after they left Summer was talking to a sleeping Em, "Gosh, sis you look so pale, and sick, I can't even imagine how much pain you are in." Just then Nikolas walked in with a bunch of flowers "Hey baby, I brought Em some flowers, and here are some for you too." He said "Oh thanks, but be quiet she's asleep." Summer said "Okay, where's Tia? Summer what happened?" He said scared "Well a few minutes ago we was just sitting here talking, and her one of her machines started going off and she went into kinda like convulsions, and the moved her back up to ICU." She told Nikolas "God, Nik, I'm so scared" "It will be okay." He assured her. Meanwhile, Zander and Chance were headed to Tia's room, when Mia came practically running up the hall "What happened?" Zander asked "It's Jordan, she's out of her coma!" She said "Okay, Chance if you want, go on to Tia's room, and I will be there after I go see my sister." Zander said "Okay, see ya lata." Chance said "Why is he going that way, it's easier to get to Emily and Tia's room if you take this elevator." Mia asked "I will tell you when we get to Jordy's room." Jordy is what Zander called her, she called him Zandy, and they never let anyone else call them that. They got to Jordan's room, before they went in "Okay what happened?" Mia asked "We were sitting in their room, and one of her machines started going off, they ended up having to put her back in ICU." Zander explained "Oh my god, go on in, and talk to Jordan, I will be back." Mia yelled and she took off running towards Tia's room. Zander walked into Jordan's room "Hey Jordy, how are you feeling?" he asked the small girl "Zandy, I am so glad you are here, I hurt a lot," Jordan said "Well it shouldn't last long, before you know it you will be up and outta here." Zander smiled "I hope so. How is everyone else?" she asked "Well, Tia and Emily just got out of ICU this afternoon, but they just put Tia back in, and Liz is still in a coma, and Jenna she went to Gram's earlier with Sarah, Ethan, Chaeci, and Austin." Zander said "Okay, are they going to be okay?" Jordan asked "And Zander, don't you lie to me." "Well, we have no reason to doubt them recovering." Zander said "Promise?" she asked "Promise" he told her. Mia walked in the room, "How is she?" Zander asked "She's stable, in and out." Mia said "Well I better go, sorry Jordy, but I have to go." Zander said "Okay, Zandy, but come back soon." Jordan told her older sibling. He went to Tia's room, she was asleep. "Chance, how is she?" he asked "She's pretty stable, but she's in and out" Chance said "Zander, you're here, you should be with Emily." Tia said drowsily "Well, I am here with you." Zander said "Well, I kinda need to talk to Chance alone." Tia said in a meek voice "Okay, but can I borrow him for a minute?" Zander asked "Sure." Tia replied "Okay, seeya later, Tia." Zander said as he and Chance walked out "So are you going to propose tonight?" Zander asked "Yeah, are you?" Chance replied "Yeah, I can't wait to see the look on Emily's face." Zander said. They hadn't gotten married because they didn't want to just because of them babies, and they decided to wait. "Hey, seeya later, man." Chance said "Yeah, seeya later." Zander replied. He walked back down to Emily's room, and fiddled with the engagement ring that was in his jacket pocket. "Hey, girls what are we doing tonight?" he asked as he walked into Emily's room, "Well we are reading the latest issue of Cosmo, and watching Once and Again." Summer replied "Zander, have you heard about that guy that was in the other car?" Emily asked "Why do you want to know about the guy that almost killed you, my cousin, and your three future sister-in-laws?" Zander said "Well, he was in the other…wait a second, did you say future sister-in-laws?" Emily asked shocked. Zander got down on one knee and said "Emily, I love you with all my heart, would you do me the honors, and become my wife?" "Oh, my god." Summer murmured, Emily just got a big grin on her face "Yes, Zander, I will marry you." She said "This is my dream come true, we're getting married, and we have a beautiful son, life is good." "Yeah, it is huh." Zander laughed. "Summer, I'm getting married." Emily said overjoyed "I know it hun, I am so happy for you guys." Summer said
Meanwhile in Tia's ICU room, "Chance, how long has it been since you left the hospital?" Tia asked "I don't know." He replied "Well, I don't want to sound like I don't want you here, but you need to go home baby." Tia said in a low voice "Well I can't when my fiancee is in the hospital." Chance said "Did you just say what I thought you said?" Tia asked with "Tia Layne Hardy, will you marry me?" Chance said "Do you even hafta ask, of course I will." Chance sit down in the recliner beside Tia's bed, and watched his fiancee fall asleep.
