(A.N: In the previous chapter I misspelled Denise & Jay Reso's son. It's
Jarome not Jereome.)
It was now six months later, making it August & the twins 1st birthday. Jade wanted to throw a birthday party for Dylan & Connor. Andrew kept on telling her that they wouldn't care, but Jade was stubborn & told him it will also be a get together for the adults. Andrew finally gave in. Andrew celebrated his 36th & Kristina celebrated her 8th birthday on March 17th. Matthew celebrated his 4th birthday on April 2nd. Steve Junior or Buddy as everyone called him was now 9 months old. Trish looked fabulous; in fact she started training when Buddy was only 3 months old.
"Mommy, phone." Kristina said, handing the phone to her mom.
"Thanks, now go check on your brothers." Jade said, Kristina nodded her head & went to her brothers were. She answered the phone & it was her brother Darren. He told her that he & Mikaela couldn't make it to the twins birthday party. He also said that he sent a gift for them. Jade was a bit disappointed but understood. Jade went off the phone & Kristina came running towards her mom.
"Mommy, you got to come see this." Kristina said, grabbing her mom's arm & almost dragging her. When they reached the living room, Jade saw Dylan & Connor smiling up at her.
"Kristina, what is going on?" Jade asked.
"Watch this." Kristina said. Kristina knelt down. She first called Connor, then Dylan. Both Connor & Dylan cautiously & slowly walked towards Jade & Kristina. While they were walking, Jade also knelt down beside her daughter. When they finally reached Jade & Kristina, they both plopped down with big grins on their two little faces. At that very moment, Andrew entered the house with Matthew on his big, broad shoulders.
"Hey there, any exciting happen here today?" Andrew said, while taking Matthew off his shoulders. He noticed that Jade, Kristina, Dylan & Connor were all smiling.
"These guys just took their first steps." Jade said, pointing at Dylan & Connor.
"Very cool." Andrew said picking up the twins.
a few days later
Almost all the preparations were made for the twin's birthday celebration/get-together. Almost all of the people that were invited for Dylan & Connor's celebration back in September were invited to this get- together. Stephanie & Paul were invited; they brought Jason who was now 8 & Sarah who was now 4. Torrie & Peter were also invited; they brought Emily who was now 6 (who would be 7 in November) & Daniel who was now 3. Donnie & Sean were also invited; they brought Jared who was now 3 (4 in December) & Camryn Lacey who was now 17 months old. Shane O who came with Stephanie & Paul brought his now 10 year old son Declan. (A.N: I changed Shane O's son's name from James to Declan, cause I can.) Adam & Alannah were of course invited, they brought along 8 year old Megan & 4 year old Madison. Matt & Amy brought 14 month old Jeff.
"Is everything ready?" Andrew asked, with a sigh. Jade looked up at her husband & smiled.
"It sure is. You know by now that I'll eventually get my way. Kristina is the same way too." Jade said, smirking. She noticed Andrew roll his eyes, she just laughed at him.
"I am going to see what Matty is doing." Andrew said to his wife, giving her a quick kiss on the cheek. With Andrew gone upstairs, Jade went outside were Trish & Steve were helping with rest of the preparations.
"Oh hey Jadey, it's going to be great to see everyone again." Trish said, as Steve put up a shade, that would be big enough for everyone to fit under.
"I know what you mean." Jade said, as Andrew came to help Steve. Andrew was followed by Matthew.
"Mommy, Krissy is asking for you & someone is ringing the boorbell." Matthew said, walking to Trish & Jade.
"Thank you sweetie." Jade said, ruffling his hair. Jade & Trish then went in the house. Trish went answer the door & Jade went to go see what Kristina wanted. Kristina volunteered to dress up Dylan & Connor into their birthday outfits. When Jade entered the twin's room, she couldn't help but laugh. Dylan & Connor were giving poor Kristina a hard time.
"Mommy don't laugh. It's not funny." Kristina said pouting.
"Sorry princess." Jade said, helping Kristina dress up the twins. Soon afterward, Jade & Kristina came back downstairs. Each of them were carrying a baby. They saw that the guests were now coming. Trish then heard a little cry, it was Bubby, who had just woken up from his nap. She went to go get him.
"Hey guys. These are the birthday boys." Jade said, smiling at her guests then at Dylan & Connor. Trish then returned with Buddy, Buddy started cooing at everyone. Everyone, couldn't believe how much Buddy looked like Steve. Soon they were all outside, while the adults talked, the kids played.
"I'm bored." Declan said to his dad.
"Sorry Bud, I thought Jade's niece would be here." Shane explained to his son.
"Yeah I'm sorry, I thought Mikaela would be here. She & her dad had other plans." Jade said. A bit later, they all went back in the house, to open gifts & eat some birthday cake. The adults watched as Camryn, Jeff, Dylan & Connor were cautiously walking around.
"Jadey you could've told me that Dylan & Connor were now walking." Trish said, shuffling Buddy to her other hip.
"I didn't want to bother you." Jade said to her best friend. Jade spotted Andrew talking with the other men, she then smiled when Andrew picked up Matty & start to tickle him. She then saw the four babies plop on their butts & laugh their heads off. Kristina, Megan, Emily & Jason were playing tag. Steve started to chase all the kids, causing them to scream.
"Take it outside guys." Andrew said, placing Matty down. Stephanie told Trish & Jade that girl Penny lied to Shane. Apparently she wasn't pregnant at all.
moments later
Kristina came running inside & went to her mom's side.
"Mommy something is wrong with Uncle Steve." Kristina said, in near tears. Everyone made their way outside. Andrew held onto Dylan while Jade held Connor. Trish handed Buddy over to Shane, she ran over by Steve's side. She then held onto his hand, when she knelt by him.
"Guys what happened?" Jade asked.
"We were playing, he suddenly was gasping for breath while clutching his heart." Jason said, while looking at a now crying Trish. Paul went back inside to call 911.
"Don't die on me Steve. Buddy & I need you." Trish said, between tears. Jade looked over at her friends & at her husband they were all in complete shock. Jade handed Connor over to Adam & then she went over to Trish to console her.
"Trishy, lets go inside & get you cleaned up." Jade said. Trish just shrugged Jade off. Moments later the paramedics came & took Steve to the ER, Trish went with them. Everyone stayed behind in total confusion. Everyone then went to the hospital to support Trish.
an hour later
Most of the people were still in the waiting room, while others had to go home. The told Jade, that they'll pray for Trish & Steve. A few minutes later, Trish came into the waiting room beside a doctor who was working on Steve. Trish immediately went towards Buddy, who Stephanie was now holding him. Trish cuddled to Buddy & cried some more.
"Friends of Steve Williams, I'm guessing." The doctor asked. They all nodded.
"I'm sorry to tell you all that Mr. Williams died." The doctor said, he then exited the waiting room. Jade & the remaining people surrounded Trish & Buddy. Poor Buddy had no idea what just happened, he started to cry. Paul then reached over & took Buddy out of Trish's arms. First she resisted then she allowed it.
"Trish you OK?" Stephanie asked. Trish nodded her head to a no, Stephanie & all the females gave her a hug.
"Come on Trishy, let's go back to the house. I bet your exhausted." Jade suggested, giving Trish a gentle hug. Trish slowly nodded her head. Jade, Andrew & Trish along with the kids went back to Jade & Andrew's beautiful home. The other people went to their homes or hotels.
"Why don't you go upstairs & take a rest. We'll watch Buddy." Jade said. Trish agreed & went upstairs before giving her son a kiss on his head.
"Hun, I'm worried about her." Jade said to her husband, watching Trish descend the stairs. Andrew took Buddy over to the twins playpen, where Kristina had put both of the twins earlier, he went back to Jade & gave her a gentle hug & a kiss on the cheek.
"Babe, I'm sure she'll be fine, eventually, with time. Plus she got lots of support." Andrew said, causing Jade to nod her head in agreement. Kristina & Matthew went upstairs to quietly play in their room. They were playing quietly cause the knew Trish was resting. They could hear her crying. An hour or so later, Trish finally came down the stairs, her eyes looked all puffy from crying.
"Hi Trish, feeling a bit better?" Jade asked
"Kinda." Trish said, in between sniffs. Jade & Andrew exchanged some looks.
"You know Trish, you & Buddy are welcome to stay here. Till you get back on your feet." Andrew said, smiling at Trish.
"Thank you Andrew & Jade." Trish said, managing a smile. The three adults & their kids then had some supper. After they finished eating, they then put the kids to bed. Jade & Andrew had a extra crib for whenever Trish & Buddy would stay there when Steve was gone on a trip. The three adults then sat in the livingroom & watched some TV before going to bed for the night. Andrew was wearing his Homer Simpson pajama bottoms that the kids got him for Father's Day. Jade was wearing her baby pink pajama outfit & Trish was wearing her purple & black pajama outfit.
"I just can't believe he's gone." Trish said, sighing. Andrew & Jade both nodded Jade rubbed Trish's shoulders. After awhile, the three then went to bed.
"She'll be OK." Andrew said, soothing. Jade & Andrew watched as Trish entered her room, where Buddy was also sleeping. Jade hopped her husband was right, the two then went to go check on their kids. All four of them were silently sleep without a care in the world. The two then went to sleep, hopping that everything will be alright.
