Ok here is chapter 3 "What could have been" This is centering around what everyone's lives could have been like if they had taken a different route. Enjoy!

"Spinelli!" Someone's voice rang out. Spinelli turned around to see an old friend. She turned back to Tj. "Hey, look I'm sorry Tj. I- I will see you later." Spinelli said hugging Tj. "I will see you later right?" She said cheerfully.

Tj tried to put a smile onto his face. "Right." He said as she walked away. Tj turned towards the exit of the Gym and exited into the cold of the night. He sat down on a bench and put his hands in his jacket looking up at the dark blue sky. "Right,"

*****

Tj lay on a white leather couch watching a documentary that he had made a year ago. He loved to just sit back and relax as he watched an episode of his show "Tj Travels". A show where he is the star, where he is the explorer, of course as long as Spinelli is on his side. They both had become explorers and partial owners of the show.

Spinelli enter the room with a bowl of popcorn. "Move it or lose it big guy." She said sitting on his legs. He moved out of the way and sat up next to her. She leaned on him and he put his arm around her. "So what is it this time?"

"Through Time." He said referring to the episodes name.

"My favorite." She said looking at the TV and putting a handful of popcorn in her mouth. Tj looked at her as she did so he couldn't help but love her. She was always willing to go on his little adventures. They were both the perfect couple in his mind and he wouldn't have it any other way. "Tj?" Spinelli asked looking up at him.

"Yeah?"

"There you are. You dazed off on me you know."

"No I didn't." Tj said denying it.

"Whatever. I was asking you, which is your favorite?"

"You." Tj said.

Spinelli looked at his stare and put a smile on her face. She reached into the bowl of popcorn and grabbed a handful then held it to his face. Tj opened his mouth and she hit him in the nose with the popcorn.

"Hey!" Tj yelled. He grabbed for the bowl but Spinelli leaned forward causing them to both fall off the couch and into each others arms. They leaned in to kiss each other.

"Tj!" Ashley B yelled causing him to break from his daze. She hugged him then sat next to him. "How have you been?"

Tj just smiled at her trying to keep the fantasy in his mind.

Gretchen and Rory sat at a table gazing into one another eye's. "You know you have blinked 25 times in the last three minutes." Gretchen observed still glazing into his eye's.

"And you have 36 times." Rory said with a smile on his face. They continued to stare at each other. Gretchen with her head plastered on both her hands and Rory just using one.

*****

Gretchen opened her eye's to nothing but white. The lights broke her deep sleep and awoken her to an unfamiliar room. "What." Gretchen said trying to get up. She was guided back down in her bed by Rory.

"Gretchen don't worry." He said calming the alerted girl down. "We had an accident." He said.

"Where is Harmony." She said shifting her eye's around the room looking for her one year old daughter. She didn't have to look far because Rory told her their daughters fate. She was in another room, but she was ok.

"What happened?"

"You had an accident." Rory pushed back Gretchen's hair and kissed her forehead. "Your ok, Harmony is ok. There is more. Gretchen you are going to have a baby!"

"I don't understand."

"Your pregnant."

Gretchen looked at Rory. "I got that part. But Rory, Why?"

"Uh Honey, you know about the birds and the bee's right?"

Gretchen tried to laugh but she started to cough. "No I understand that Rory. I mean, why didn't he stop?" She asked with a tear rolling down her cheek. "My signal lights were on."

A month later…

Gretchen sat on the floor playing with Liam. Rory tossed Harmony up into the air and she giggled as he caught her. Rory put Harmony down next to Liam and kissed Gretchen Then they both looked at their children as they helped each other build a castle.

"I told you." Rory said looking at Gretchen. She smiled and wrapped her hands around him then leaned in to kiss her husband. She was happy, truly happy.

Vince sat down laughing at Gus trying to dance with Upside-down Girl. He then turned his attention to the door where he saw a familiar face. A face that he hasn't seen since the graduation, one he wanted to talk to for so long. Ashley B. He knew he didn't like Ashley in the way he thought he did in 5th grade but some how he couldn't forget her beauty through the years.

*****

Ashley laughed as she missed his mouth with the grapes. "Ok so I am not the star basketball player you are." She said brushing his face with her hand.

He laughed. "But I still love you anyway." Vince kissed Ashley gently on the lips then turned his attention to a lady in a black and white maids gown. She carried a baby in her hands rocking it back and forth trying to keep it from crying.

"I got it from here Sid." Vince said to the maid taking the baby into his arms and cradling her. She stopped crying and Vince was accompanied by Ashley by his side. "Myla is a beauty just like her mother." Vince said letting the baby grip his finger. He smiled and kissed Myla on her head then kissed Ashley one more time.

*****

"You sure love to smile don't you my dear friend." Ashley said standing over Vince. He broke from his thoughts and looked straight at her.

"Ashley." He said looking surprised.

"Glad to see me?" She asked. Vince got to his feet and gave her a hug. "Where is Sid?" Ashley asked looking past Vince to see if she was around.

"She is back at the hotel looking over our baby Milo." Vince said getting Ashley a seat at his and Gus' table. Ashley frowned when she heard what Vince said but quickly took the seat she was offered. "So how have you been?" He asked her handing her a cup of punch.

She smiled at him. "Great." she said a little bummed out.
