A/n: I know it's been forever but I've had my exams. If I don't get my
results I'm likely to... well...
Chapter 11: Daddy Dearest.
Mariah walked down the church isle behind her very unorthodox flower girl walking with a limp. The organ was playing and Ray stood infront of her. Tyson handed them the rings. Emily [now heavily pregnant] stood beside them. They said their vows and sealed it with a kiss they were now one.
Tyler sat at the pub table sipping her coke and kicking her legs against the chair. The after party was a very noisy affair music was blaring and lights were flashing. Her mother was sat with Emily talking. Mum was about 5 on and Emily what 8 something. Tyson was with the lads who were getting a little tipsy. "Dad?" Tyler yelled over the noise. Her voice was hoarse. "Yeah?" "Tell mum I'm going out for a minute!" she called. He nodded wearily. She turned to Max who hadn't touched the drink. "Don't worry I'll tell her!"
Tyler was glad to be away from the noise she sat on the swing outside listening to the distant music. "Hey?" It was Scott. "What d'you want?" "Beybattle." He said shortly "I'm supposed to be at a party." She said vaguely. "Why aren't you?" he asked. She shrugged. "I want my mum and dad to be happy like Ray and Mariah." She said sadly. Scott shrugged. "Nah my parents are seperated s'no big deal." "HUGE deal!" she protested. "Are you gonna battle or not?"
"Men one track minds." She said "I don't have my blade on me... where'd I keep it I don't have pockets." She said referring to the dress. "You look like candy floss." He said. She raised her fist. "Don't you dare, anyway I'm off inside you coming?" "Sure thing, Floss." "You are never going to let this go. Are you?" "No." he said.
"Em?" asked Hilary staring at her friend. She had just sat down suddenly. "I think..." "Contractions?" she asked in a motherly tone. Emily winced and nodded. "I'll call an ambulance." She tried to yell over the noise Hilary wasn't certain she heard her.
"Ok calm down..." "Emily." Hilary said. "Are you coming with her Miss..." "Tatiba... no... Hold on please Em hold on..." Hilary ran inside nearly tripping over Tyler. "Max?" she yelled over the songs and stuff. Max looked up at her. "Emily!" she mouthed. She grabbed his collar and dragged him outside where it was quiet. "She's... she's having the baby you better go," Max looked at her dizzily as though he had just been slapped. "Thanks." He whispered hoarsely.
"Sorry to interrupt." Hilary called as she stood on stage the music had temporarily stopped. "I don't know if you know But... Well Emily's just had a healthy baby boy... 8lbs 5... Just so you know." She stepped down amidst the cheers.
Tyler sipped her coke and surveyed her father with narrowed eyes. Scott decided now was a great time. He crept up behind her and "BOO!" She jumped splattering coke all over him. Thankfully not over herself. "Ha! Backfired!" she cried triumphantly. He scowled. GIRLS! They had to be awkward.
"Have you decided on a name?" Emily didn't answer she was staring transfixed at her son. He was gorgeous. Blonde/Ginger hair with brilliant blue/green eyes. "Em the woman was asking a question." Max said. "Oh who asked you?" she snapped at him. He flinched. This wasn't going to be easy. "No I'm sorry I haven't decided on a name yet." Max waited until she'd left before turning to Emily. "Em?" "Hmm?" she asked cradling her baby. "Can I hold him?" Emily looked as though this was a painful decision before passing him over. Max suddenly felt amazed. This was the most brilliant feeling in the world. Well the second best perhaps. "Emily?" he asked gently "Marry me." She pretended as though she hadn't heard. "I know you heard me." He said catching onto her game. "We've been through this." "Yeah and you left me unclear..." He said staring at the baby, "No... I can't marry you. Not now Max, too much has happened." Her eyes glazed over and she took the baby back. "At least... at least take me back. Please Em I won't screw up this time." She looked puzzled but then gave a nod. A nod that bound her to him forever.
Scott and Tyler were in the middle of a heated debate when Tyson came and carted her off. "What was that for?" she snapped. She knew he had had a few to drink not too much for him to be drunk but he was slightly out of it. "Tyler, your mum she... pushes me away..." "Can you blame her." He shook his head. "I want you to know, I want both of you to know... I never stopped loving you or this baby." "Baby is in safe hands..." she said vaguely. "But are you?" "What?" "I know your mother can be... slightly unstable at times." "MY MUM IS NOT UNSTABLE!" she yelled causing several people at the nearest table to look at them. "Slightly... I've know her a long time." "NO! NO YOU HAVEN'T! YOU THINK YOU HAVE BUT YOU SEEMED TO HAVE BLOCKED OUT 13 YEARS!" she screamed. A hand appeared on her shoulder. "Listen mate we don't want any trouble." The guy said. It was Scott. "It's ok." Mumbled Tyler, "He's my dad." "Tyson Granger is your dad?" he said. "Then your more of a freak then I thought." This enraged Tyler to know end and her father. "What did you just call her." "DAD! Leave it out ok, he meant nothing by it." "Nobody..." Hilary came and dragged him off.
"Do you want the whole world to know you have a secret daughter? Then don't go blabbing." "It's not like I'm ashamed of her!" "I never said you were but she's too young to be in the spotlight." "When we were her age we were saving the world." Hilary nodded. "I know we were, But Tyson she's not me, she's not you, she's Tyler..." Hilary bit her lip. "How's baby?" he asked in what he hoped was an offhand voice. "Fine," she said awkwardly. "Kicking like mad." They were silent for a few moments before Hilary spoke up again. "No more scenes ok, or you'll have to go Mariah and Ray don't want you spoiling their big day." She scolded sounding like her old self he nodded and followed her in.
"The time shall come. We now know his weakness is his daughter Tyler, She shall be the victim of the plan." "But sir she's only a child!" Protested a worker. "Do as you're TOLD!" a new evil legacy is unfolding. Plots dark and tick unravelling yet at the same time taking Hilary's ball of string and messing it up. More knots.
"Listen I didn't mean to get at you, you know earlier when I said you're a freak..." "It's ok." Tyler said "Payback for the coke thing." She laughed. "Buy you a drink." "Coke. You get me drunk and I'll murder you." He laughed nervously "I wouldn't dare your dad kind of scares me." Tyler rolled her eyes and gave him a shove. "Hey Mrs. Granger." "It's Miss Tatiba actually thanks, are you..." "Scott, Go to school with your Ty." He said. Hilary remembered only too well he was the boy who caused her to fall off the wall. "how'd you do it Miss Tatiba if you don't mind me asking."
"What d'you mean?" "At school she's well... a right handful, at home when she's not battling she seems normal." "Like her dad I guess. Beyblade is her life, never saw the point in the things to be honest." "Is it true she's Tyson's daughter? He's like world champ." "Yeah. She is." "See you Miss Tatiba." He would have waved her off but his hands were full.
"Hey Floss I still want a battle later." "Certainly." She said curtly "But for now it's relaxing time." She sounded like a teacher instructing a small child. He shook his head.
"I don't like it." Said Tyson firmly. "Like what?" Asked Hilary sitting down at the table sipping at her drink. "Him." Tyson glared at Scott. "She's a kid Ty." Kai said. "Exactly she's my kid and I don't want her hanging round with that brat." "She likes him Tyson there's nothing you can do about it." Hilary said reasonably. "Can so." "Oh you cannot sit down no more scenes or you're going home!" she said bossily. "Yes mother." He muttered.
"She's 13." Kai said. "Me and Hil were 13." Tyson said moodily. "And look what happened there." "We were fifteen when that happened Tyson that was a long time go, Tyler isn't as stupid as I am." Hilary slipped her hand onto her stomach Tyson noticed her do this and gave her a weak smile. She didn't return it. It was nearly a year since this had started unravelling. Meaning Tyler was nearly 14 and the championships were starting up again. "Where's the tournament being held this year?" "Er, Asia I think." Kai said. "Would you guys mind if Ty tagged along because she'd got her heart set on it and I can't go, I'll be too far on and I don't fancy leaving the country when I'm legally dead." Kai and Tyson nodded. "You trust me?" "You may be a colossal idiot sometimes but you're still her dad and, I trust you, with her." Hilary didn't look at his face. Tyson knew this was a great gift she was entrusting him with her daughters life, he WOULDN'T let her down.
"This years tournament, while the blade breakers are in China, We shall strike," Hissed the icy voice. "Sir, I beg of you, she is only a child." "SHUT UP AND DO AS YOU'RE TOLD!" he snapped. "Fine then. Be that way but I'm having nothing to do with it, Consider this my two weeks notice." Before the woman could leave she was struck sharply on the head with something hard and was promptly knocked out.
Tyler yawned. Her teammates had been over the previous night but Hilary felt sick so they couldn't stay. Tyler fluffed her hair. It was a right tip. "Mum?" she asked meandering sleepily down the stairs. "Hmm?" "I need to ask a question." "Yeah?" Hilary handed her daughter a cup of coffee and they both sat at the table. "If a guy wants you to do something but you're not sure, should you do it." Hilary nearly dropped her coffee cup. "It's nothing like that!" Tyler added hastily. "It's just this guy wants to Beybattle me but I don't want to. He insists it's coz I'm scared..." "Well are you?" "NO!" "Well tell him you're not the one who's scared, considering he's not even in the championships." "how'd you..." "Scott right?" "Yeah... wait a minute don't you have an appointment today?" "Yeah, finding out what baby is." "You'll text me right?" "Yeah now shoo... off to school."
"Can't wait!" Tyler was bragging to her friends. Her phone beeped in the middle of a Sex Ed class, which wasn't at all pleasant. "Well Miss Tatiba as you seem so popular today, could you care to read it out?" "I'm having a baby girl love you loads, mum." Tyler couldn't help but grin. She was going to have a baby sister!
"Oh congrats!" Emily said. She Max and baby had come home from the hospital only a few hours ago. "Thanks... oh he's gorgeous." The infant was sleeping soundly in Emily's arms. "Yeah... like his mum." Max whispered in her ears. Emily rolled her eyes. "Will Tyler be pleased? I mean she didn't desperately want a brother or anything did she?" "No. I don't think so... I sent her a text..." "Charming... oh by the way Tyler you're gonna have a new sis pick up some bread on way home." Max taunted. Emily glared. "Quiet you you'll wake him up." Max took him from her. "You're gonna wake him up." "God this is why being a single parent suited me." "In a few days we're leaving for the championships... how about that, a few days old and he's already leaving the country." "You sure you're up to it Em?" "Yeah certain. I'll walk all over him!" Max laughed.
"Thought of names?" "No you?" "I'm going to let Tyler chose it's her sister..." Hilary didn't know that as she spoke plans were being made to kidnap her daughter. She didn't know Tyson was going to be the cause of it. She didn't know Tyler was in danger, and was going to be involved in a fatal accident... So she smiled.
A/n: Well yawn It's after 11... what more can I say. Hilary: I'm smiling? when you've just said all that about Ty? Tyler: I'm having a SISTER! Tyson: I'm confused...
