Chapter 6: Now we're getting somewhere... sort of
Emily got up to take the plates. "Sit down I'll do it." Max said it was an order. Emily suddenly looked a little bit annoyed. "Max I'm fine..." "This can't be good for you in..." "YOU DARE SAY IN YOUR CONDITION I'LL KILL YOU MAX TATE!" Emily said firmly. "JESUS WHAT'S YOUR PROBLEM EM I'M TRYING TO HELP!" he yelled. Mariah bit her lip. Fighting was common in this flat but it was usually done with her and Ray or Tyson and...well Tyson and anyone he just liked to yell a lot. "WELL YOU AREN'T HELPING MAX YOUR ANNOYING ME AND STRESS ISN'T GOOD FOR ME EITHER!" "CHILL OUT EM NEXT TIME I WON'T HELP!"
"I'M NOT SAYING DON'T HELP I'M JUST SAYING THAT YOU CAN'T USE MY CONDITION AS AN EXCUSE TO MAKE ME USELESS!" she yelled furious with her boyfriend.
"FINE THEN!" Max countered. "fine." He muttered and even though the whole fight had started because he wouldn't let her take the plates he took them anyway. Emily sighed and threw herself backward onto the sofa. "Where did Tyson go he's supposed to be here while we're planning!" Mariah said flicking her bright pink hair backward. "Planning what?" asked Emily exhausted from arguing. She subconsciously placed her hand on her stomach and massaged it gently. "The wedding!" she moaned. "I forgot." She said shrugging "yeah sure you did." Mariah said rolling her eyes. "We were thinking about June-ish." "Can't you make it July?" Emily asked horror struck. "Why?" Asked Mariah confused. "I'm the maid of honour right I'll be 7/8 ½ months pregnant then!" "Hm... we could put it off a few weeks I suppose." Mariah said. "I'll call the church later yeah." Ray said in an effort to please the girls. They both nodded. "Thanks love." Mariah said kissing him.
Max sat down next to Emily. "You Okay?" she asked. He nodded but didn't say anything. "I'm sorry." She whispered sadly. She felt bad for yelling at him now. He hadn't really done anything wrong. "Why're you apologising?" he asked her. "I blew up at you I'm sorry." "Don't worry." "Get a room!" Mariah said as they made googly eyes. "Hmm..." Max said. He took her hands and pulled her up. She became confused. "I told you not to get any ideas Max." she said slowly. "Come with me I swear I'm not trying it on." He said and led her through to the bedroom. He sat her down. Unlike Ray he had style he wasn't about to ask in front of everyone. "I know your policy on the whole baby thing and I know you're still not happy much as you say so..." he got down on one knee. "Emily I love you will you Marry me?" he asked. Emily looked temporarily stunned before coming to her sense. "No." she said. Max looked confused. "I'm sorry Max I can't... I don't want to get married for the sake of the baby when we get married... if... we can't do it just because we made the mistake of getting pregnant out of wedlock." Max looked devastated. He'd been planning this for ages before he'd known about the baby. Then she started acting weird. So he'd put it off now she thought he was proposing because she was carrying his child. She got up and left the room. He looked at the ring in his hand and closed the box. He couldn't bring himself to follow her.
Tyson stood staring at Hilary. She just stood there shaking her face white. Tyson felt like screaming at her. He felt like holding her. He felt like crying. He felt stupid for not realising. She gave a half sob before breaking down totally. She clutched onto the table her face filled with flowing tears. Tyson stared at her. Then at the photo. He understood now. He kneeled down beside her. "Hilary are you..." "just leave Tyson." She whispered. "No Hilary I let you go once I won't do it again." "You just don't get it do you Tyson, I left because I was frightened I was scared I thought you'd hate me." "Hilary I could never hate you!" "TYSON LISTEN TO ME!" she yelled. "When I left I realised I didn't need you any more Tyson, I don't, me and Tyler, always me and Tyler." She repeated as though trying to convince herself more than anything. "Don't Lie Hilary, you've lied to me you've lied to our daughter..." "That's it Tyson you..." Tyson inhaled sharply she wasn't going to say Tyler wasn't his was she. She couldn't. "You haven't been around for so long you're not her dad, you're her father." "I haven't been around because you didn't let me Hilary, you lied to everyone why won't you let her know?" "Because it was wrong Tyson you know it!" Tyson glared at her and went upstairs. "TYSON YOU LEAVE HER ALONE SHE'S UPSET ENOUGH AS IT IS!" Hilary screamed she took off after him.
"Tyler it's me open up." Tyson said. The door was unlocked so when he received no answer he went in anyway. She was thrown across her bed listening to music. "Tyler..." Hilary came in Tyson was sat on the edge of the bed stroking her hair. "You never told me Mum, you never said Tyson was your boyfriend..." she whispered. She didn't yet know the whole story. "More than a boyfriend Tyler." Tyson said gently. "Tyson don't." Hilary moaned. "SHE HAS A RIGHT TO KNOW HILARY YOU KNOW THE OTHER DAY I SAID YOU WERE A BAD MOTHER YOU NEVER TOLD HER, 13 YEARS AND YOU NEVER TOLD HER WHO I WAS, WHO SHE WAS, WHO YOU WERE!" he said. Hilary gripped onto the door. "Fine then tell her if you must but for god's sake don't make me out to be some kind of physco mother because nobody can ever say I never loved or took care of my daughter properly." Tyson looked taken back by her willingness to co-operate. The Hilary he knew would have kicked up a huge fuss. But she was mature now she was an adult.
"I was your mum's boyfriend... as you figured out but what she didn't tell you." "She's told me nothing." "I DIDN'T TELL YOU TO PROTECT YOU TYLER." "FROM WHAT HERSELF OR YOU?" "FROM YOU TYSON!" Hilary screamed. "I've never been a threat." "You have Tyson, I was scared you'd try to take her away." "I probably would have you're obviously unstable Hilary."
"I'M NOT UNSTABLE!" "STOP IT!" screeched Tyler crying her eyes out. Tyson saw it now. He saw that she was his daughter. "Tyler, I'm you're dad." Tyler looked scared suddenly. "AND YOU NEVER SAID ANYTHING ALL THOSE TIMES I WAS ROUND AT YOUR PLACE?" "I DIDN'T KNOW YOU EXISTED I DIDN'T KNOW YOUR MUM WAS ALIVE!" "SO WHEN SHE RAN AWAY YOU DIDN'T THINK OF LOOKING FOR HER?" "THE POLICE HAD HER WRITTEN AS DEAD I STILL DON'T HAVE A CLUE HOW SHE PULLED IT OFF FAKING HER OWN DEATH BUT SHE DID TYLER SHE DID." "you... you faked your own death." "I did not!" Hilary exclaimed indignantly "You did too!" "I did not, you know what I did Tyson, I had a BABY." She said firmly. "That's why the flat was covered in blood I never intended to look dead!"
Tyler looked shocked. She'd never understood about her birth she'd never known about her dad but now here it was all happening at once. "So you never told him you were pregnant... you ran off had a baby and everyone assumed you were dead." "Yes." "And you let everyone think that?" "I never knew they thought I was dead I left the country when you were hours old I found out about a year later that everyone thought I was dead when Tyson left a note in the newspapers." "Did I?" "You said something like. 'Hilary's death shook me and I can't believe we never found the body but I intend to get on with my life and it shouldn't affect my beyblading skills in the upcoming tournament'"
"Oh, see your old dad's hopeless." He said laughing. Tyler didn't laugh. "So you like never clicked when I was called Tatiba, you never clicked when you saw me, you never clicked when you saw mum, god you are so dense." Hilary sat down on a chair. "See that's what I said about you at 13!" "Tyler I did click I was spaced out a lot I was crying earlier I was getting too attached to you for no reason and when I saw your mum I saw Hilary in her. I kissed her." "So THAT'S why you two kissed!" "Hm..." Hilary said. "So are you two planning to start where you left off." Hilary hung her head and Tyson looked at her. "I don't know we're probably going to have to come to some conclusion as I don't think mum's too pleased with me at the moment are ya Hilary."
"Tyson shut up I need to think!"" she said. "She's touchy." Tyler explained. "Always was." "Just the pair of you shut up right now!" Ordered Hilary. "Right well, Tyson can you take her for tonight bring her back tomorrow? I really need some time to think." "Sure thing." Tyson said. "Tyler go get your stuff." He added "But..." "No buts!" he said. She slouched out of the room. Tyson closed the door behind her. "What do you think you're playing at Hilary?" "I don't know anymore Tyson I just don't know." She sobbed and sat on Tyler's bed. She clutched her pillow to her chest. "I'm always here Hilary I promise things'll be different." "I don't want them to be different I wanted it to be me and Tyler forever I can't stand it Tyson she's becoming more like you every time I look at her." "Is that a bad thing?" He asked putting his arm around her. She shuddered but he didn't remove it. "It's not good Tyson, I see you in her so much I knew one day I'd have to tell her but she's going to hate me now. Why did we come back here?" she whispered.
"I'm not really sure why you did Hilary but I'm glad you're back." "Really?" asked Hilary. "I thought if anyone found out I'd be in big trouble, when I saw Emily that night all I could think was end of the line. But she never knew me." "She'd seen photos though." "Mariah saw me once before I took off so I didn't think I was in too much danger from her. You were my biggest threat. When I saw you I felt like crawling into a hole and dying. I wanted to run. Tyson. I wanted to run away and leave Tyler just that one time since she was born I wanted her to stay here." She said. "To stay where she was happy with her dad, were she'd have the life I could never give her. Am I a bad Mother, You said I was did you mean it." "No I never meant it all I meant was you need a break." She wiped her tears and leaned on his shoulder. "Thanks." She whispered. She suddenly realised the situation she was in. she pulled out of Tyson's grasp. "I think Tyler's ready take her please I don't want to face her tonight." "You're not going to do something stupid are you Hil?" He asked. "Like what?" "Like run away and leave Tyler like you said you wanted to earlier." "No I won't." "You said you wouldn't leave me once before and you did, three months before you ran off."
*Flashback* Tyson kissed her neck gently and slowly. Hilary smiled and buried her head into the crook of his neck. "Hilary?" he whispered to her gently as he brushed her hair with his fingers. "Hm." She murmered distractedly. "Promise me something?" he asked gently. Pulling her onto his lap in the process. "What?" she asked caught up in the moment. "Promise me you'll never leave me." He started. "Promise me no matter what we'll always be together." He said holding her hands and caressing them. She raised them up to his face and traced his jawbone. "I promise Tyson, together forever." She whispered. *end flashback*
That was the night it all changed. Of course none of them knew that night would change their lives for ever. Ironic really. The night she promised to stay, the event happened that caused her to leave. We won't go into detail but you get the picture
"I know I did and I'm sorry I broke that promise but I couldn't stay even if I'd wanted to." The door went. "What are you two doing in there you know I want a little brother or sister but not so soon!" Tyler called. Hilary sprang up and answered the door. "Sorry Tyler, Tyson's..." "Dad." Tyson pressed. "Dad's taking you tonight okay you'll be staying with him okay be good." Hilary said. Her eyes were watering again as she looked at her daughter. She was always pleased she'd had a daughter rather than a son. If she'd had a son she didn't think she'd have been able to cope even if he'd had an identical personality to Tyler. It would have been too hard to deal with losing one guy and suddenly another was following. "Yeah I know my stuff's packed and I'm ready I'll see you mum." She kissed her mum on the cheek before turning to Tyson. He nodded at her. She nodded in return and the two headed out. Hilary watched them go from the window. She felt heartbroken as though she'd lost her daughter but in a way her heart felt slightly more at peace than it had done in a long, long time Tyson accepted who she was. He accepted he had a daughter he didn't want to avoid his responsibility. Which was strange because 14 years ago had he been given the responsibility of cleaning the classroom he would have done everything in his power to get out of it.
Max sat on the bed. Tears stung his blue eyes. He felt so stupid. He didn't want to face Emily at the minute. Now was a good time, she was carrying his child she was the one he wanted to spend the rest of his life with, but she didn't want him. He was her boyfriend, the one who'd got her pregnant, he wasn't her soulmate, he wasn't her life partner he was her boyfriend. It sounded so childish. Childish- the kid. Was already conceived out of wedlock but being born that was a no-no in Em's books. She might say she was okay with it but he was certain she wasn't she was scared of her mother's reaction. Much as she despised God and 'all that rubbish' she'd been brought up with, he was sure she was afraid of god's reaction aswell. He ran his hands through his hair. 'Stupid' he thought. 'stupid that's what I am' he continued. 'How could you think somebody that perfect would like you enough to marry you. How long have you been fooling yourself Max Tate?' he berated. 'how long could you have lived under the illusion of love?' he continued to mentally tell himself off. The door went and he heard Emily's voice. "I'm back." She sounded tired. "I didn't even know you'd left I thought you and Maxy were planning a second!" Mariah laughed. "Ha-ha." Said Emily sarcastically. Max came through and sat down. Emily glanced at him. "Is Tyson still not back?" she asked dropping her gaze. "He's..." "He's here." Tyson said coming in the door. "Where've you been and what's she doing here you left like 4 hours ago to drop her off. You come back ages later and you still have her." Max said slightly annoyed. He didn't want to think about kids right now. A screaming baby would be bad enough but a screaming teenage girl was worse.
"Well you're stuck with me!" Tyler said stubbornly. "So what's the deal why IS she here." Kai asked. "Do you want to explain or should I?" He asked her. "You because I want to hear the whole story." Tyler said. "You heard the whole story, your mum told you." "I want to hear it from you!" she said firmly. She took a seat on the floor as Tyson sat down. "God you're as pushy as your mum!" "No as pushy as my dad now get on with it." She said testily. Tyson laughed. "Right guys well you know Hilary." There was a sharp intake of breath. The whole room was deathly silent. They had never actually heard him speak this boldly or calmly about Hilary before. [did that make sense] "Would you all stop acting as though she's dead?" muttered Tyler. Nobody heard except Tyson. "Hey I thought I was telling the story!" he said put out. She nodded. "Well you know how they never found her body." "Don't tell me they found it?" asked Ray. "No they never found it I just said that! Well they never found it because there wasn't one to find." "I don't follow." Emily said dazed and confused. "She never died!" "But they found the flat totally smothered in her blood." Kai said slowly. "They told you no healthy 15 year old girl can lose that much blood and live. Tyson she's dead." "She's not she didn't die!" "She did! Tyson get a grip." Kai said gripping Tyson's shoulders. Tyler jumped up. "DON'T YOU HURT HIM!" she yelled grabbing Kai and with surprising strength for a 13 year old pulled him away.
"Cool it Tyler. Your mum told you to behave." He warned. She went bright red, "Sorry." She whispered. "Please continue." "She never died she ran away and hid." "Tyson..." "Shut up!" Tyler said. "She left the country!" "Tyson are you feeling alright?" asked Mariah gently placing her hand on his forehead in a motherly way. "I'm fine!" he said struggling away from her. "Alright suppose she did run away, where did she go to, why did she leave, how the hell did she live after losing so much blood?" "She went to..." "Spain." Filled in Tyler. "Yeah she went to Spain." "But why did she leave and how did she lose so much blood here if she was in Spain." "No she lost that much blood here and THEN went to Spain." Tyson explained. Why weren't they getting this. "Why did she leave then. She had a great boyfriend a cush lifestyle, she was always in the spotlight."
"Remember before she left I told you that we'd erm... Tyler close your ears." "I know what sex is!" "Fine then that we'd *cough* you know *cough* well the result was definite to Hilary at any rate. She ended up pregnant. She ran away and stayed in that flat for 6 months where she delivered her bouncing baby, lots of blood you get me. Then she ran off to Spain." "So you've checked this story with the Spanish authorities, you checked it up on websites, you followed her you had a private eye check birth certificates, legally changed names, you checked in courts you worked this out?" Kai asked. Tyson frowned. Now he thought about it he did feel kind of stupid. "You didn't need to!" Tyler said. "You're forgetting one thing, you have no proof you don't have a chance in hell of finding out you jumped to conclusions and have no evidence to support your theory." Kai said. "You're forgetting Kai Hitiwari If she got pregnant, then she had a kid where's your proof of that?" Dizzi asked.
Tyler stood up and coughed to make herself known. "I believe you all know me as Tyler Tatiba..." she said. Everyone suddenly paled. Not a chance. "NO FU**IN WAY!" Ray said staring at her in disbelief. "Innocent ears Ray Kon!" Said Emily holding her stomach. "So Hilary just released her into your custody, she must be more cracked than I thought!" Kai said. Tyler pulled a photograph from her pocket. It was the one She'd found that lead to the explanation and then she pulled out a new one taken a few weeks ago of her mum sat on the plane reading. She showed it to Kai. "Mum when you knew her, Mum as I know her, she lead two separate lives." "But it's illegal she's... she didn't even think to change her name did she?" asked Kai. "Nope she left she didn't imagine anyone in Spain would know her then we moved back here, for the tournament." "So you're Tyler Granger then." "No I'm Tyler Tatiba [sum1 told me it's Tatibana can anyone actually confirm that coz I'm kinda losted.] But I'm Tyson Granger's daughter." "So you're going to take Hilary to court?" Asked Kenny. "No why would I." "She's still her mother Tyson and she can easily just say right no access and poof you won't see Tyler again." "But it swings both ways." Said Emily remembering her conversation about custody with Hilary. "You could just as easily say no to her and she might never see Tyler, you have to work it all out." "How'd you know?" "Funnily enough Hilary told me."
"How did the photo get there though I mean she wouldn't leave it out like that would she?" Tyler said curiously staring at the picture. "Want me to field that one?" Asked a heavy male voice. Ozuma. Miriam was behind him. But the others were still at their house. "Hey Ozuma, s'up?" Tyler asked nodding her head upward slightly before turning and glaring at the room. "Will everyone stop staring at me as though I'm from another planet?" She huffed. "Oh hi Miriam I didn't see you." "When did you meet Miriam?" Asked Kenny. "Today, she..." "Actually she didn't really meet me, I can't believe you've heard of Ozuma but you haven't heard of me, I'm Miriam of the Saint shields. We had to find out for definite that Hilary was alive so we kind of tricked you. We found out that you were Tyson's daughter in the process so we paid your mum a visit." "Miriam being the awkward cow she is didn't tell you straight forward, you know what she did, she put the photo on the desk." "I knew she wouldn't leave it out!" Tyler said. She didn't seem remotely phased by the fact Miriam wasn't who she said she was. "You're not upset we lied to you?" "I've been lied to all my life, one little fib won't hurt." "I tried to tell you Hilary was alive a few days ago but I was thrown out by a certain someone." Max hid his head as Ozuma glared at him.
"Did everyone know before me?" asked Tyson. "Yeah," Kenny said. "What you knew?" "Meh sort of." He said awkwardly "What do you mean sort of Chief?" "About 13 and a half years ago, when Hilary and I didn't show up for one of our matches, I had a check up with the doctor I told you. I bumped into Hilary." "Oh?" "Cool things are getting interesting why was she there?" "She came in really pale. Shaking and everything she looked sick." "So..." "She didn't tell me what was wrong I asked her but she wouldn't tell me. She just kept like looking at the floor and going quiet I think she was crying at one point.
*Flashback.* Hilary walked into the clinic. Today was the day it was gone. She didn't want to kill it but she couldn't keep it. She staggered in. she was numb with shock. She was getting an abortion. In a few hours she would no longer be pregnant. She was caught by Kenny. "Hilary, what's wrong I thought you were at the match." She shook her head and sat down. She gripped on to the seat of the chair so hard her knuckles were white. "Are you okay." She shook her head but didn't say anything. She stared at the floor. "Are you ill?" Again she shook her head. Her hair covering her face. "Are you in trouble." She gave a half nod that could have been a shudder and said no more. "What's wrong?" she didn't say anything. "Hilary I'm not quite sure what's going on but I could take a pretty wild guess." He said. Her hair hid her eyes but 16 year old Kenny was almost certain she was crying. "By your reaction I'm guessing I'm right, are you..." "Don't say it." She hissed. "Just don't I can't stand it." "Hilary Tatiba?" asked a nurse coming through. "The doctor will see you now. Are you certain you want to go through with this. The doctor has informed you of the risks and you are aware there is no turning back once you've had the operation." Kenny knew he'd got it right. She was pregnant. "Hilary there's nothing I can do to talk you out of this is there." She shook her head furiously. "Well I just thought you oughta know, Tyson loves you, you know." "Don't tell him." "I wont." And with that Kenny left. He never knew if she went through with the abortion because two days later she vanished.
Kenny had thought at first that she'd possibly kept it and was hiding. But then his thoughts had changed he began to think she was upset about the fact she'd got rid of it. That she'd run off to find sanctuary. But as time moved on he doubted it more and more. He finally gave up all hope of finding her alive when they found the flat covered in blood. He hadn't thought. He had never actually told Tyson he knew he was already grieving Hilary's loss he didn't need to grieve an unborn child aswell. *End flashback*
"And that's what happened, I thought she'd run off and been killed while hiding I never thought." "For a smart person you're not very are ya Kenny?" Asked Ray. Mariah hit him. "Shut up I think it was sweet he kept his promise." "If I'd have known she was pregnant I would have figured it out." Said Ray looking annoyed. "I thought she'd gotten an abortion that's why she was there." "I think you're making Tyler feel uncomfortable here." "No I always knew mum hadn't wanted me, she told me she'd got all the way to the clinic before she'd changed her mind like so I knew, I think I wrecked her life." She admitted. "Your mum loves you to pieces." Emily said. "She told me." "Yes but she has to I'm her daughter I still wrecked her life." Max couldn't listen to this, he felt like Tyler did. He's wrecked Emily's life. "I'm off out." He said "At ten o clock." He shrugged and left anyway. "Ten o clock bed time Tyler." "Aww."
Hilary woke up to a noise down stairs. It was the door going. She frowned and went down. It was of course her daughter and her dad. "Hey." "Hey mum." "Hi Baby, did you have a nice time." "Yeah all the bladebreakers were so shocked when they found out who I was." "Kai said he might drop in later." "He's not going to yell at me is he?" "Don't know, Tyler can you leave me and mum alone for a minute?" "Why does everyone always tell me to leave?" she asked. But she left anyway.
"Hilary, Tyler's amazing." "Yeah." "You've done a great job bringing her up." "Thanks." "Yeah but the only thing she's missed out on is her dad." Hilary looked at the floor. "Kenny knew you were pregnant you know." "He thought I'd got rid of her though." "He told us." "When?" "Last night." "Oh right," "I'd like to be involved in her life more Hilary, I want to know you won't stop me seeing her." "She's 13 I can't stop her doing anything." "No I mean you won't file a court case against me." "I couldn't it would break Ty's heart." She paused. "And mine." Tyson looked at her. She was still very pretty.
"You know you haven't changed." He said stroking her hair behind her ear. She blushed. "Is that a good thing." "Yes, you're still the same girl I fell in love with all those years ago." He whispered "You're making me sound old." Said Hilary totally missing the point. "Hilary shut up." He said. She was about to argue. When he kissed her. It was a proper kiss unlike last time when it had been confused. Darn it why'd he have to be such a good kisser. She broke apart and looked at him. "No!" she said. She took off up the stairs nearly tripping over Tyler who'd been watching.
A/n: wow nearly like ten pages there. Max: Tyson and Hilary are together now! Emily: no they're not. Max: They kissed. Kenny: it was a kiss not a proposal. Max: why'd Emily reject me. Me: she's stupid that's why! Emily: hey Me: nyi review
Chapter 6: Now we're getting somewhere... sort of
Emily got up to take the plates. "Sit down I'll do it." Max said it was an order. Emily suddenly looked a little bit annoyed. "Max I'm fine..." "This can't be good for you in..." "YOU DARE SAY IN YOUR CONDITION I'LL KILL YOU MAX TATE!" Emily said firmly. "JESUS WHAT'S YOUR PROBLEM EM I'M TRYING TO HELP!" he yelled. Mariah bit her lip. Fighting was common in this flat but it was usually done with her and Ray or Tyson and...well Tyson and anyone he just liked to yell a lot. "WELL YOU AREN'T HELPING MAX YOUR ANNOYING ME AND STRESS ISN'T GOOD FOR ME EITHER!" "CHILL OUT EM NEXT TIME I WON'T HELP!"
"I'M NOT SAYING DON'T HELP I'M JUST SAYING THAT YOU CAN'T USE MY CONDITION AS AN EXCUSE TO MAKE ME USELESS!" she yelled furious with her boyfriend.
"FINE THEN!" Max countered. "fine." He muttered and even though the whole fight had started because he wouldn't let her take the plates he took them anyway. Emily sighed and threw herself backward onto the sofa. "Where did Tyson go he's supposed to be here while we're planning!" Mariah said flicking her bright pink hair backward. "Planning what?" asked Emily exhausted from arguing. She subconsciously placed her hand on her stomach and massaged it gently. "The wedding!" she moaned. "I forgot." She said shrugging "yeah sure you did." Mariah said rolling her eyes. "We were thinking about June-ish." "Can't you make it July?" Emily asked horror struck. "Why?" Asked Mariah confused. "I'm the maid of honour right I'll be 7/8 ½ months pregnant then!" "Hm... we could put it off a few weeks I suppose." Mariah said. "I'll call the church later yeah." Ray said in an effort to please the girls. They both nodded. "Thanks love." Mariah said kissing him.
Max sat down next to Emily. "You Okay?" she asked. He nodded but didn't say anything. "I'm sorry." She whispered sadly. She felt bad for yelling at him now. He hadn't really done anything wrong. "Why're you apologising?" he asked her. "I blew up at you I'm sorry." "Don't worry." "Get a room!" Mariah said as they made googly eyes. "Hmm..." Max said. He took her hands and pulled her up. She became confused. "I told you not to get any ideas Max." she said slowly. "Come with me I swear I'm not trying it on." He said and led her through to the bedroom. He sat her down. Unlike Ray he had style he wasn't about to ask in front of everyone. "I know your policy on the whole baby thing and I know you're still not happy much as you say so..." he got down on one knee. "Emily I love you will you Marry me?" he asked. Emily looked temporarily stunned before coming to her sense. "No." she said. Max looked confused. "I'm sorry Max I can't... I don't want to get married for the sake of the baby when we get married... if... we can't do it just because we made the mistake of getting pregnant out of wedlock." Max looked devastated. He'd been planning this for ages before he'd known about the baby. Then she started acting weird. So he'd put it off now she thought he was proposing because she was carrying his child. She got up and left the room. He looked at the ring in his hand and closed the box. He couldn't bring himself to follow her.
Tyson stood staring at Hilary. She just stood there shaking her face white. Tyson felt like screaming at her. He felt like holding her. He felt like crying. He felt stupid for not realising. She gave a half sob before breaking down totally. She clutched onto the table her face filled with flowing tears. Tyson stared at her. Then at the photo. He understood now. He kneeled down beside her. "Hilary are you..." "just leave Tyson." She whispered. "No Hilary I let you go once I won't do it again." "You just don't get it do you Tyson, I left because I was frightened I was scared I thought you'd hate me." "Hilary I could never hate you!" "TYSON LISTEN TO ME!" she yelled. "When I left I realised I didn't need you any more Tyson, I don't, me and Tyler, always me and Tyler." She repeated as though trying to convince herself more than anything. "Don't Lie Hilary, you've lied to me you've lied to our daughter..." "That's it Tyson you..." Tyson inhaled sharply she wasn't going to say Tyler wasn't his was she. She couldn't. "You haven't been around for so long you're not her dad, you're her father." "I haven't been around because you didn't let me Hilary, you lied to everyone why won't you let her know?" "Because it was wrong Tyson you know it!" Tyson glared at her and went upstairs. "TYSON YOU LEAVE HER ALONE SHE'S UPSET ENOUGH AS IT IS!" Hilary screamed she took off after him.
"Tyler it's me open up." Tyson said. The door was unlocked so when he received no answer he went in anyway. She was thrown across her bed listening to music. "Tyler..." Hilary came in Tyson was sat on the edge of the bed stroking her hair. "You never told me Mum, you never said Tyson was your boyfriend..." she whispered. She didn't yet know the whole story. "More than a boyfriend Tyler." Tyson said gently. "Tyson don't." Hilary moaned. "SHE HAS A RIGHT TO KNOW HILARY YOU KNOW THE OTHER DAY I SAID YOU WERE A BAD MOTHER YOU NEVER TOLD HER, 13 YEARS AND YOU NEVER TOLD HER WHO I WAS, WHO SHE WAS, WHO YOU WERE!" he said. Hilary gripped onto the door. "Fine then tell her if you must but for god's sake don't make me out to be some kind of physco mother because nobody can ever say I never loved or took care of my daughter properly." Tyson looked taken back by her willingness to co-operate. The Hilary he knew would have kicked up a huge fuss. But she was mature now she was an adult.
"I was your mum's boyfriend... as you figured out but what she didn't tell you." "She's told me nothing." "I DIDN'T TELL YOU TO PROTECT YOU TYLER." "FROM WHAT HERSELF OR YOU?" "FROM YOU TYSON!" Hilary screamed. "I've never been a threat." "You have Tyson, I was scared you'd try to take her away." "I probably would have you're obviously unstable Hilary."
"I'M NOT UNSTABLE!" "STOP IT!" screeched Tyler crying her eyes out. Tyson saw it now. He saw that she was his daughter. "Tyler, I'm you're dad." Tyler looked scared suddenly. "AND YOU NEVER SAID ANYTHING ALL THOSE TIMES I WAS ROUND AT YOUR PLACE?" "I DIDN'T KNOW YOU EXISTED I DIDN'T KNOW YOUR MUM WAS ALIVE!" "SO WHEN SHE RAN AWAY YOU DIDN'T THINK OF LOOKING FOR HER?" "THE POLICE HAD HER WRITTEN AS DEAD I STILL DON'T HAVE A CLUE HOW SHE PULLED IT OFF FAKING HER OWN DEATH BUT SHE DID TYLER SHE DID." "you... you faked your own death." "I did not!" Hilary exclaimed indignantly "You did too!" "I did not, you know what I did Tyson, I had a BABY." She said firmly. "That's why the flat was covered in blood I never intended to look dead!"
Tyler looked shocked. She'd never understood about her birth she'd never known about her dad but now here it was all happening at once. "So you never told him you were pregnant... you ran off had a baby and everyone assumed you were dead." "Yes." "And you let everyone think that?" "I never knew they thought I was dead I left the country when you were hours old I found out about a year later that everyone thought I was dead when Tyson left a note in the newspapers." "Did I?" "You said something like. 'Hilary's death shook me and I can't believe we never found the body but I intend to get on with my life and it shouldn't affect my beyblading skills in the upcoming tournament'"
"Oh, see your old dad's hopeless." He said laughing. Tyler didn't laugh. "So you like never clicked when I was called Tatiba, you never clicked when you saw me, you never clicked when you saw mum, god you are so dense." Hilary sat down on a chair. "See that's what I said about you at 13!" "Tyler I did click I was spaced out a lot I was crying earlier I was getting too attached to you for no reason and when I saw your mum I saw Hilary in her. I kissed her." "So THAT'S why you two kissed!" "Hm..." Hilary said. "So are you two planning to start where you left off." Hilary hung her head and Tyson looked at her. "I don't know we're probably going to have to come to some conclusion as I don't think mum's too pleased with me at the moment are ya Hilary."
"Tyson shut up I need to think!"" she said. "She's touchy." Tyler explained. "Always was." "Just the pair of you shut up right now!" Ordered Hilary. "Right well, Tyson can you take her for tonight bring her back tomorrow? I really need some time to think." "Sure thing." Tyson said. "Tyler go get your stuff." He added "But..." "No buts!" he said. She slouched out of the room. Tyson closed the door behind her. "What do you think you're playing at Hilary?" "I don't know anymore Tyson I just don't know." She sobbed and sat on Tyler's bed. She clutched her pillow to her chest. "I'm always here Hilary I promise things'll be different." "I don't want them to be different I wanted it to be me and Tyler forever I can't stand it Tyson she's becoming more like you every time I look at her." "Is that a bad thing?" He asked putting his arm around her. She shuddered but he didn't remove it. "It's not good Tyson, I see you in her so much I knew one day I'd have to tell her but she's going to hate me now. Why did we come back here?" she whispered.
"I'm not really sure why you did Hilary but I'm glad you're back." "Really?" asked Hilary. "I thought if anyone found out I'd be in big trouble, when I saw Emily that night all I could think was end of the line. But she never knew me." "She'd seen photos though." "Mariah saw me once before I took off so I didn't think I was in too much danger from her. You were my biggest threat. When I saw you I felt like crawling into a hole and dying. I wanted to run. Tyson. I wanted to run away and leave Tyler just that one time since she was born I wanted her to stay here." She said. "To stay where she was happy with her dad, were she'd have the life I could never give her. Am I a bad Mother, You said I was did you mean it." "No I never meant it all I meant was you need a break." She wiped her tears and leaned on his shoulder. "Thanks." She whispered. She suddenly realised the situation she was in. she pulled out of Tyson's grasp. "I think Tyler's ready take her please I don't want to face her tonight." "You're not going to do something stupid are you Hil?" He asked. "Like what?" "Like run away and leave Tyler like you said you wanted to earlier." "No I won't." "You said you wouldn't leave me once before and you did, three months before you ran off."
*Flashback* Tyson kissed her neck gently and slowly. Hilary smiled and buried her head into the crook of his neck. "Hilary?" he whispered to her gently as he brushed her hair with his fingers. "Hm." She murmered distractedly. "Promise me something?" he asked gently. Pulling her onto his lap in the process. "What?" she asked caught up in the moment. "Promise me you'll never leave me." He started. "Promise me no matter what we'll always be together." He said holding her hands and caressing them. She raised them up to his face and traced his jawbone. "I promise Tyson, together forever." She whispered. *end flashback*
That was the night it all changed. Of course none of them knew that night would change their lives for ever. Ironic really. The night she promised to stay, the event happened that caused her to leave. We won't go into detail but you get the picture
"I know I did and I'm sorry I broke that promise but I couldn't stay even if I'd wanted to." The door went. "What are you two doing in there you know I want a little brother or sister but not so soon!" Tyler called. Hilary sprang up and answered the door. "Sorry Tyler, Tyson's..." "Dad." Tyson pressed. "Dad's taking you tonight okay you'll be staying with him okay be good." Hilary said. Her eyes were watering again as she looked at her daughter. She was always pleased she'd had a daughter rather than a son. If she'd had a son she didn't think she'd have been able to cope even if he'd had an identical personality to Tyler. It would have been too hard to deal with losing one guy and suddenly another was following. "Yeah I know my stuff's packed and I'm ready I'll see you mum." She kissed her mum on the cheek before turning to Tyson. He nodded at her. She nodded in return and the two headed out. Hilary watched them go from the window. She felt heartbroken as though she'd lost her daughter but in a way her heart felt slightly more at peace than it had done in a long, long time Tyson accepted who she was. He accepted he had a daughter he didn't want to avoid his responsibility. Which was strange because 14 years ago had he been given the responsibility of cleaning the classroom he would have done everything in his power to get out of it.
Max sat on the bed. Tears stung his blue eyes. He felt so stupid. He didn't want to face Emily at the minute. Now was a good time, she was carrying his child she was the one he wanted to spend the rest of his life with, but she didn't want him. He was her boyfriend, the one who'd got her pregnant, he wasn't her soulmate, he wasn't her life partner he was her boyfriend. It sounded so childish. Childish- the kid. Was already conceived out of wedlock but being born that was a no-no in Em's books. She might say she was okay with it but he was certain she wasn't she was scared of her mother's reaction. Much as she despised God and 'all that rubbish' she'd been brought up with, he was sure she was afraid of god's reaction aswell. He ran his hands through his hair. 'Stupid' he thought. 'stupid that's what I am' he continued. 'How could you think somebody that perfect would like you enough to marry you. How long have you been fooling yourself Max Tate?' he berated. 'how long could you have lived under the illusion of love?' he continued to mentally tell himself off. The door went and he heard Emily's voice. "I'm back." She sounded tired. "I didn't even know you'd left I thought you and Maxy were planning a second!" Mariah laughed. "Ha-ha." Said Emily sarcastically. Max came through and sat down. Emily glanced at him. "Is Tyson still not back?" she asked dropping her gaze. "He's..." "He's here." Tyson said coming in the door. "Where've you been and what's she doing here you left like 4 hours ago to drop her off. You come back ages later and you still have her." Max said slightly annoyed. He didn't want to think about kids right now. A screaming baby would be bad enough but a screaming teenage girl was worse.
"Well you're stuck with me!" Tyler said stubbornly. "So what's the deal why IS she here." Kai asked. "Do you want to explain or should I?" He asked her. "You because I want to hear the whole story." Tyler said. "You heard the whole story, your mum told you." "I want to hear it from you!" she said firmly. She took a seat on the floor as Tyson sat down. "God you're as pushy as your mum!" "No as pushy as my dad now get on with it." She said testily. Tyson laughed. "Right guys well you know Hilary." There was a sharp intake of breath. The whole room was deathly silent. They had never actually heard him speak this boldly or calmly about Hilary before. [did that make sense] "Would you all stop acting as though she's dead?" muttered Tyler. Nobody heard except Tyson. "Hey I thought I was telling the story!" he said put out. She nodded. "Well you know how they never found her body." "Don't tell me they found it?" asked Ray. "No they never found it I just said that! Well they never found it because there wasn't one to find." "I don't follow." Emily said dazed and confused. "She never died!" "But they found the flat totally smothered in her blood." Kai said slowly. "They told you no healthy 15 year old girl can lose that much blood and live. Tyson she's dead." "She's not she didn't die!" "She did! Tyson get a grip." Kai said gripping Tyson's shoulders. Tyler jumped up. "DON'T YOU HURT HIM!" she yelled grabbing Kai and with surprising strength for a 13 year old pulled him away.
"Cool it Tyler. Your mum told you to behave." He warned. She went bright red, "Sorry." She whispered. "Please continue." "She never died she ran away and hid." "Tyson..." "Shut up!" Tyler said. "She left the country!" "Tyson are you feeling alright?" asked Mariah gently placing her hand on his forehead in a motherly way. "I'm fine!" he said struggling away from her. "Alright suppose she did run away, where did she go to, why did she leave, how the hell did she live after losing so much blood?" "She went to..." "Spain." Filled in Tyler. "Yeah she went to Spain." "But why did she leave and how did she lose so much blood here if she was in Spain." "No she lost that much blood here and THEN went to Spain." Tyson explained. Why weren't they getting this. "Why did she leave then. She had a great boyfriend a cush lifestyle, she was always in the spotlight."
"Remember before she left I told you that we'd erm... Tyler close your ears." "I know what sex is!" "Fine then that we'd *cough* you know *cough* well the result was definite to Hilary at any rate. She ended up pregnant. She ran away and stayed in that flat for 6 months where she delivered her bouncing baby, lots of blood you get me. Then she ran off to Spain." "So you've checked this story with the Spanish authorities, you checked it up on websites, you followed her you had a private eye check birth certificates, legally changed names, you checked in courts you worked this out?" Kai asked. Tyson frowned. Now he thought about it he did feel kind of stupid. "You didn't need to!" Tyler said. "You're forgetting one thing, you have no proof you don't have a chance in hell of finding out you jumped to conclusions and have no evidence to support your theory." Kai said. "You're forgetting Kai Hitiwari If she got pregnant, then she had a kid where's your proof of that?" Dizzi asked.
Tyler stood up and coughed to make herself known. "I believe you all know me as Tyler Tatiba..." she said. Everyone suddenly paled. Not a chance. "NO FU**IN WAY!" Ray said staring at her in disbelief. "Innocent ears Ray Kon!" Said Emily holding her stomach. "So Hilary just released her into your custody, she must be more cracked than I thought!" Kai said. Tyler pulled a photograph from her pocket. It was the one She'd found that lead to the explanation and then she pulled out a new one taken a few weeks ago of her mum sat on the plane reading. She showed it to Kai. "Mum when you knew her, Mum as I know her, she lead two separate lives." "But it's illegal she's... she didn't even think to change her name did she?" asked Kai. "Nope she left she didn't imagine anyone in Spain would know her then we moved back here, for the tournament." "So you're Tyler Granger then." "No I'm Tyler Tatiba [sum1 told me it's Tatibana can anyone actually confirm that coz I'm kinda losted.] But I'm Tyson Granger's daughter." "So you're going to take Hilary to court?" Asked Kenny. "No why would I." "She's still her mother Tyson and she can easily just say right no access and poof you won't see Tyler again." "But it swings both ways." Said Emily remembering her conversation about custody with Hilary. "You could just as easily say no to her and she might never see Tyler, you have to work it all out." "How'd you know?" "Funnily enough Hilary told me."
"How did the photo get there though I mean she wouldn't leave it out like that would she?" Tyler said curiously staring at the picture. "Want me to field that one?" Asked a heavy male voice. Ozuma. Miriam was behind him. But the others were still at their house. "Hey Ozuma, s'up?" Tyler asked nodding her head upward slightly before turning and glaring at the room. "Will everyone stop staring at me as though I'm from another planet?" She huffed. "Oh hi Miriam I didn't see you." "When did you meet Miriam?" Asked Kenny. "Today, she..." "Actually she didn't really meet me, I can't believe you've heard of Ozuma but you haven't heard of me, I'm Miriam of the Saint shields. We had to find out for definite that Hilary was alive so we kind of tricked you. We found out that you were Tyson's daughter in the process so we paid your mum a visit." "Miriam being the awkward cow she is didn't tell you straight forward, you know what she did, she put the photo on the desk." "I knew she wouldn't leave it out!" Tyler said. She didn't seem remotely phased by the fact Miriam wasn't who she said she was. "You're not upset we lied to you?" "I've been lied to all my life, one little fib won't hurt." "I tried to tell you Hilary was alive a few days ago but I was thrown out by a certain someone." Max hid his head as Ozuma glared at him.
"Did everyone know before me?" asked Tyson. "Yeah," Kenny said. "What you knew?" "Meh sort of." He said awkwardly "What do you mean sort of Chief?" "About 13 and a half years ago, when Hilary and I didn't show up for one of our matches, I had a check up with the doctor I told you. I bumped into Hilary." "Oh?" "Cool things are getting interesting why was she there?" "She came in really pale. Shaking and everything she looked sick." "So..." "She didn't tell me what was wrong I asked her but she wouldn't tell me. She just kept like looking at the floor and going quiet I think she was crying at one point.
*Flashback.* Hilary walked into the clinic. Today was the day it was gone. She didn't want to kill it but she couldn't keep it. She staggered in. she was numb with shock. She was getting an abortion. In a few hours she would no longer be pregnant. She was caught by Kenny. "Hilary, what's wrong I thought you were at the match." She shook her head and sat down. She gripped on to the seat of the chair so hard her knuckles were white. "Are you okay." She shook her head but didn't say anything. She stared at the floor. "Are you ill?" Again she shook her head. Her hair covering her face. "Are you in trouble." She gave a half nod that could have been a shudder and said no more. "What's wrong?" she didn't say anything. "Hilary I'm not quite sure what's going on but I could take a pretty wild guess." He said. Her hair hid her eyes but 16 year old Kenny was almost certain she was crying. "By your reaction I'm guessing I'm right, are you..." "Don't say it." She hissed. "Just don't I can't stand it." "Hilary Tatiba?" asked a nurse coming through. "The doctor will see you now. Are you certain you want to go through with this. The doctor has informed you of the risks and you are aware there is no turning back once you've had the operation." Kenny knew he'd got it right. She was pregnant. "Hilary there's nothing I can do to talk you out of this is there." She shook her head furiously. "Well I just thought you oughta know, Tyson loves you, you know." "Don't tell him." "I wont." And with that Kenny left. He never knew if she went through with the abortion because two days later she vanished.
Kenny had thought at first that she'd possibly kept it and was hiding. But then his thoughts had changed he began to think she was upset about the fact she'd got rid of it. That she'd run off to find sanctuary. But as time moved on he doubted it more and more. He finally gave up all hope of finding her alive when they found the flat covered in blood. He hadn't thought. He had never actually told Tyson he knew he was already grieving Hilary's loss he didn't need to grieve an unborn child aswell. *End flashback*
"And that's what happened, I thought she'd run off and been killed while hiding I never thought." "For a smart person you're not very are ya Kenny?" Asked Ray. Mariah hit him. "Shut up I think it was sweet he kept his promise." "If I'd have known she was pregnant I would have figured it out." Said Ray looking annoyed. "I thought she'd gotten an abortion that's why she was there." "I think you're making Tyler feel uncomfortable here." "No I always knew mum hadn't wanted me, she told me she'd got all the way to the clinic before she'd changed her mind like so I knew, I think I wrecked her life." She admitted. "Your mum loves you to pieces." Emily said. "She told me." "Yes but she has to I'm her daughter I still wrecked her life." Max couldn't listen to this, he felt like Tyler did. He's wrecked Emily's life. "I'm off out." He said "At ten o clock." He shrugged and left anyway. "Ten o clock bed time Tyler." "Aww."
Hilary woke up to a noise down stairs. It was the door going. She frowned and went down. It was of course her daughter and her dad. "Hey." "Hey mum." "Hi Baby, did you have a nice time." "Yeah all the bladebreakers were so shocked when they found out who I was." "Kai said he might drop in later." "He's not going to yell at me is he?" "Don't know, Tyler can you leave me and mum alone for a minute?" "Why does everyone always tell me to leave?" she asked. But she left anyway.
"Hilary, Tyler's amazing." "Yeah." "You've done a great job bringing her up." "Thanks." "Yeah but the only thing she's missed out on is her dad." Hilary looked at the floor. "Kenny knew you were pregnant you know." "He thought I'd got rid of her though." "He told us." "When?" "Last night." "Oh right," "I'd like to be involved in her life more Hilary, I want to know you won't stop me seeing her." "She's 13 I can't stop her doing anything." "No I mean you won't file a court case against me." "I couldn't it would break Ty's heart." She paused. "And mine." Tyson looked at her. She was still very pretty.
"You know you haven't changed." He said stroking her hair behind her ear. She blushed. "Is that a good thing." "Yes, you're still the same girl I fell in love with all those years ago." He whispered "You're making me sound old." Said Hilary totally missing the point. "Hilary shut up." He said. She was about to argue. When he kissed her. It was a proper kiss unlike last time when it had been confused. Darn it why'd he have to be such a good kisser. She broke apart and looked at him. "No!" she said. She took off up the stairs nearly tripping over Tyler who'd been watching.
A/n: wow nearly like ten pages there. Max: Tyson and Hilary are together now! Emily: no they're not. Max: They kissed. Kenny: it was a kiss not a proposal. Max: why'd Emily reject me. Me: she's stupid that's why! Emily: hey Me: nyi review
