Chapter Fifty Four

Mandy sat down at the table trying to hide the hurt she felt inside but found it hard to do so especially when Adam sat down next to her. He placed his hand on her knee trying to show Mandy his support. The cake and present opening followed before Mandy said,

"Let's get this really under way. Who's up for a ride on the roller coaster?"

Everyone loved the idea except for Allie. So she went and sat on the bench out in front of the roller coaster while everyone else went to get on the ride. Shane saw her sitting alone and decided to go and sit with her and keep her company.

Before getting on the roller coaster, Adam turned to Mandy and said,

"Are you sure you should be coming on here? You know in your condition and all"

"Yeah I'm sure ... I'll be fine" Mandy said before walking off and sitting next to Matt. Adam stood sadly before Jay called to him,

"Yo Adam over here" Adam turned around and saw that Jay was sitting in the last carriage by himself and went and joined him.

After the ride Adam tried to catch up with Mandy to talk to her but she walked off with Matt. Adam just stood not knowing what to think or do. Jay walked up to him and said,

"Trouble in paradise?"

"Oh ah no ... she's just having fun with her friends ... that's it"

"Adam ... is something wrong? I mean since you proposed the two of you haven't been separated, except for work. And now ... she's off with Matt of all people. Come on you can tell me."

"Ok maybe there is a small problem but nothing we can't solve."

"Oh?"

"Mandy thinks she's pregnant ... and she thinks I want her to get rid of it ... and I don't ... I really don't. I mean you know how much I've always wanted kids ... and I think she'd make the best mother"

"You have to tell her this ... make her understand"

"I know but how? She won't talk to me"

"I'll show you ... just follow me" Jay said jogging over towards the others

"Hey what do you all say we take a ride on the wariest wheel?"

"Gee I don't know Jay ... the wariest wheel is pretty scary" Mandy joked

"I know Mandy but we'll just have to pair you up with someone to hold your hand" Jay joked as the group headed towards the ride. As they stood looking, Mandy got into the carriage. Jay pushed Adam into it and shut the door. Before they knew it the ride started to move and all they could do was sit down and try and make the most of it. Jeff and Lily happily got into the next carriage, while Shane and Allie put up a little fight before grudgingly giving in. After everyone else go in, Jay stood back and watched his plan work.

"Jay stop this ride now" Mandy called

"Ok if you're sure" Jay said before walking over and turning the ride off, leaving everyone stranded.

"Jay you little bugger let me off this ride now!" Mandy demanded

"Sorry what was that? I can hear you" Jay said walking back over to the bench he was previously sitting on.

"Jay if you're going to leave us all on this bloody ride at least leave it running" Adam pleaded

After a while Adam turned to Mandy who was in deep thought.

"Mandy we really need to talk" Adam said turning her so that they were looking at each other - eye to eye.

"What about? You made yourself perfectly clear before"

"I was shocked and I admit I didn't handle your news in the best possible way. You also left before I could tell you something"

"And what might that be?"

"You know what about, I love you ... and our baby"

"What?" Adam didn't say anything. He through his arms around Mandy not wanting to ever let her go. Jay look up at them both and yelled,

"You two made up?" Mandy and Adam looked at each other before they replied,

"What do you think?" before exchanging a passionate kiss

"When you're down would you like to come off?"

"Actually I really like it on here now. It's rather romantic" Mandy replied with a huge smile on her face

"Jay can you let me off her?" Allie called, "I'm scared of heights"

"Jay don't listen to her. Whatever you do don't let her off this ride" Mandy called

"What the hell are you doing Mandy? You know how much I hate heights" Allie yelled angrily

"Would you calm down ... we're trying to enjoy this ride" Lily called out

"Oh that's just great ... you two ganging up on me, I'm stuck on this ride ... and with bloody McMahon" Allie yelled fuming about the whole situation.

"Hey I haven't done anything wrong" Shane said defensively

"Not yet but knowing you..." Allie started before getting cut off

"Would you please shut the hell up" Chris called in his Y2J face character voice

"Thanks Chris, I couldn't have said it better myself" Lily laughed

"Lily shut up" Allie yelled

"Allie why don't you try and make the most of it and actually talk to Shane. You guys have to talk sometime ... and now is the best opportunity"

"Anything else mother?" Allie said bitterly

Oh come on Allie don't be like that. It'll be good for the two of you"

"I agree with Mandy ... we really do need to talk" Shane said cautiously

"Alright, alright. Anything to get you all off my back ... happy?"

"Well actually..." Mandy started

"Yes ... yes we are" Lily finished

"Good ... now all of you butt out"

Mandy and Lily quietened down so that Allie and Shane could talk. While they did so both girls took in the great view from the ride as well as talking to their respective partners.



"So what do you want to talk about then?"

"Us"

"What about us"

"Come on Al I know I was wrong and have been quite a few times as of late but I miss you, I really miss you. Everything about you, your smile, the way you bite your bottom lip when your nervous, your eyes, your laughter ... everything" Allie sat stunned because since she and Shane had broken up, she'd always thought that he'd hated her.

"Allie say something ... please"

"Like what? That I missed you? ... that I forgive you for all the pain you've caused me over the last few months?"

"Well actually that would be nice"

"Nice ... it would be nice?" Allie said annoyed

"Allie you know what I mean. I love you and always have. I don't want to live without you anymore. Please give us another chance" Shane pleaded

"I umm" Allie started

"Come on Allie ... you know it's what you want" Lily said from the carriage above.

"Stay out of it Lily. This is meant to be a private conversation"

"Allie just ignore her ... you knows she's just trying to get under your skin"

"Your right Shane she is ... and about us ... I just don't know. I mean you really hurt me and I can't just forget about it"

"I understand ... what about if we take things slowly?"

"I'm willing to give it a go ... but no promises..."

"Oh Allie thank you. You've made my day, week, and month…" Shane said pulling her into his arms.

"Easy cowboy ... who said that this day isn't going to get better" Allie joked
