Miriam soon dropped Mei off at the temple, she was the first stop and the closest as well. She exited the car saying goodnight to everyone.
"Night everyone, thanks again for a great time Mir!" exclaimed Mei as she was able to exit the car with no assistance.
"Night girl," said Miriam.
"Night!" exclaimed Abby.
"Lates" replied Priya.
"Byeeeeeeeeeee...hey we should get tacos" slurred Brendan still intoxicated.
"Bye babesssssssss...tacos sound sooooooooo good right now" replied Tyler intoxicated.
Miriam was annoyed.
"We are not getting tacos, there's leftover takeout in your fridge from the other day" replied Miriam peeved.
"That sounds sooooo good...wake me when we get there" slurred Brendan as he and Tyler began to close their eyes and fall asleep in the car, their heads resting on each other.
Miriam rolled her eyes and drove everyone home.
When Mei got home her mother and father were sitting on the couch waiting for her to get home before they went to bed.
"Hello Mei-Mei did you have fun?" asked Ming.
Mei who was still thinking about both boys began to dart her eyes nervously because she knew how her mother was.
"Oh...um...fun...we ate and did karaoke but I'm super bushed! Night guys!" exclaimed Mei heading up the stairs to her room.
Ming took notice of her daughter acting weird.
"Mei-Mei what's the matter?" asked Ming concerned.
"Oh...Ummm...nothing just super tired" replied Mei nervously.
"Mei-Mei if anything is going on with your body I can help, I was pregnant once before" chuckled Ming.
"I...I...think I just need to lay down" stammered Mei.
"Are you sure sweetie?" asked Ming concerned still.
"Promise! Night mom! Night dad!" exclaimed Mei in a panic.
Before Ming and Jin could even utter a word, Mei was in her room sitting on her bed breathing rapidly. She didn't know what was going on, she hadn't felt feelings like this since 2002.
"Why do I think they're both cute?! I'm with Tyler!"Mei thought to herself.
Mei couldn't figure out what was going on, well she had some grasp on it as she kind of figured it was her hormones shooting off in all sorts of directions. Mei quickly sat down at her computer chair and turned her computer on and logged on to Facebook, she needed to take her mind off of what was going on so she decided to check Tyler's profile to maybe trick her mind into focusing on him.
"Okay...okay...oh I remember this one!" said Mei clicking on a picture.
Mei clicked on a picture of Tyler with his arm in a sling.
"He looked so cute in that outfit...too bad he hurt his arm during that pushup contest with...BRENDON!" she wailed to herself.
She clicked around other pictures hoping to find something but most of Tyler's pictures were either with Brendan or the whole gang. There were a few pictures of her and him but Brendan was either the photographer or they were hanging with him and the gang that day. Mei then shut her computer off and looked around and found a notepad, she was gonna do what it took to get her mind focused.
"You're with Tyler" Mei mumbled writing those exact words on the notepad.
But as if history were going to repeat itself and boy did it because Mei began to draw on the notepad.
"You're with Tyler, Mei! He and his cute curly hair and he smelled so good in that cologne even though his breath smelled like a distillery. Plus he's a Townie and not to mention the father of my kid...but what if Brendan impregnated me instead of Tyler? Brendan is a cutie too although his hair is starting to thin...but his eyes...and he's so strong, Miriam is so lucky she has a guy like him...but I have Tyler. OH! WHAT DO I DO?!" Mei thought to herself as she drew and then tossed the notepad against the wall.
As Mei sat in her chair breathing rapidly she felt her hormones and everything just shooting off like Fourth of July fireworks and...
*POOF!*
Mei panda'd, she was on the bed in panda form with her belly protruding, she began to cry and rub her belly. Unknown to her as Ming was getting ready for bed she saw the smoke from Mei's panda. She ran up to the door and knocked on it rapidly.
"Mei-Mei! You panda'd! Are you alright?! Do you need to go to the hospital?! Mommy's coming!" exclaimed Ming opening the door.
Mei panicked and looked around the room for her notepad and luckily for her when she threw it she didn't throw it far as it was in paw's reach and she was able to slide it under the bed. Ming entered the room like a woman on a mission.
"MEI-MEI! Are you alright?! Do you feel faint?!" panicked Ming.
Mei however had it partially under control, she closed her eyes and rubbed her belly.
"I'm fine mom, I don't feel I need the hospital," said Mei calmly.
"Are you sure?! I'll wake your father right now!" exclaimed Ming.
"Mom, please...it's fine it's just hormones," said Mei rubbing her stomach.
Ming sat on the bed next to Mei even though she didn't have much room, and she put her hand on Mei's protruding panda belly.
"I think I might've felt a kick" smiled Ming.
"Yeah, I felt it" smiled Mei.
Mei took a breath.
"Mom, I just worry...about everything, like what would the ancestors think and everything? Would I be a good mother?" Mei wondered.
"Dear, the ancestors would be so proud of you right now and of course, you will be, and I will do my best to help you in any way shape, or form" smiled Ming.
"Thanks, mom" Mei smiled.
*POOF!*
Mei was back to normal.
Mei smiled and looked at her belly as it was still protruding but she felt fine.
"Glad you're okay, I never panda'd when I was pregnant with you that's why I couldn't help you and I felt horrible" Ming said softly.
"Don't worry mom, maybe it's a life lesson for me" smiled Mei.
"Possibly, now get some sleep" smiled Ming kissing Mei on the forehead.
Mei smiled and laid down and her mother tucked her in and then left her room, Mei was still fairly hormonal but they had quelled just a bit. Mei closed her eyes and fell asleep.
The next morning the alarm clock on Miriam's phone went off and she woke up and stretched, laying next to her Brendan was out like a lightbulb. Miriam shook his left arm to try to wake him but to no avail. She shook him harder and he groaned.
"Ugggghhhhh what? Why does my head feel like it weighs a ton?" asked Brendan.
"Time to get up," said Miriam.
"For what?" groaned Brendan.
"We have to go gift shopping with the girls for Mei and Tyler... they've got a baby shower next month and then the wedding in April" grumbled Miriam frustrated.
"Ohhhh...just take my card and get them a baby stroller or a car seat" groaned Brendan trying to get back to sleep.
Miriam grabbed his bank card from his wallet sitting on the side table drawer.
"Oh and thanks for treating us to breakfast," said Miriam smugly.
"You're nuts!" said Brendan fairly annoyed.
"Do you wanna sleep in or not?" retorted Miriam.
"Fine!" growled Brendan.
Miriam went to get the girls as Brendan went back to dreamland...albeit very hungover.
(A/N) Hey, guys sorry for the delay but I just thought I would bang out this little chapter here, so anyways I am currently thinking of the kind of a what-if kinda alternate universe type story where instead of Tyler, Mei chooses Brendan and it's like a shortening of each story's major plot points. It's just a thought right now and I would love some feedback and I mean feedback not...oh if you place Mei with him I'll commit bodily harm to you or any arguing from the MeixTyler fans even though I respect you guys. Thanks, y'all, until next time!
