Chapter XII
Antaria's Gift
Domino Hospital:
When Tama opened her eyes finally, she saw four pairs looking back at her as well as some familiar faces.
"Mom?" whisped Carter, Carter's hazy green eyes stared at her.
"Hey there, Carter." She said gently, while placing a hand on his head.
"Mommy," He choked out and suddenly started to cry as he hugged her.
Tama sat up and hugged her son, "It's okay Carter, I'm fine."
Tara stood near her mom. Tama looked up at her and said motherly, "Come here Little Me."
She grabbed Tara into the hug as well. Tara began to cry again. Chazz just watched with a reassuring smile on his face.
Tyranno grabbed his shoulder asking him, "You okay now?"
"Yeah, say thanks for giving that black eye." Chazz said grinning, he touched part of his sore eye.
"Hey, when a friend is going nuts on ya, you gotta do what you gotta do. But of course Maylin was really happily to do it for you instead of me." Tyranno said grinning too.
"I bet she would." Chazz mumbled, he saw Maylin smirk at him, tears of happiness coming down her face.
Ashton stood near his mom as well as his two brothers. All the kids were there watching. Some were even crying a bit. Tama finally pulled away from her children.
"You two okay now?" she asked.
"Mom, never ever do that again!" Tara almost screamed at her mother.
"Okay I won't." Tama laughed, hugging her daughter again.
Carter just sighed when Paige came up to him and gave him a hug. Tama smiled at the cuteness, going all girly at once.
"Aw...does my little boy have a girlfriend already?" She teased.
Chibi-Chazz's face turned bright red as Paige giggled.
"MOM!"
Everyone laughed at Carter's outburst.
"Yep, you're fine."
Chazz came over and kissed Tama on the forehead.
"So, how fast were you going when you broke the speed limit?" Tama demanded as looked up at him.
"Hassleberry drove me because he apparently thought Phoebe was going to eat one of their children." Chazz chuckled.
Chazz laughed again when Tyranno was staring at Phoebe, who blinked innocently.
"I didn't! I swear!" She exclaimed after a moment of doing so.
"Right," He grumbled, crossing his arms. "Your voice message nearly gave me a heart-attack." Tyranno was really mad.
"Poor baby, I'm sorry." Phoebe pouted, widening her big blue eyes.
"Oh no, the look won't work with me." He glared at her until she leaned in and gave him a kiss. Tyranno softened at once, his childeren automatically looking disgusted again, except for Paige. Tyranno then sighed in defeat. "Well, if you put it that way, fine! You are forgiven."
"Dad, you're a sap." Wyatt said, rolling his eyes.
Wyatt then nearly fell over Eyealon as his dad growled at him for the comment.
"Aw, poor baby, scared of his dad." Eyealon teased, she was holding Wyatt away from his dad.
"You should see him on a really bad day." Wyatt grumbled low enough for just Eyealon to hear.
Phoebe raised her eyesbrows, looking around the room.
"Are all my kids getting dates or am I just getting old?" Phoebe asked, Maylin opened her mouth. "And Maylin, you better shut your mouth now."
Maylin closed it, "What? I wasn't going to say anything bad and oh, Tama," She had just come back into the room because of a phone call, "Tyler wants to talk to you."
Tama took the cellphone, but didn't really put it to her ear. There was no need for the volume of Tyler's voice as Tama recieved a lecture from her
"Okay, I promise I will never ever do that again! Scouts honor!" Tama finally cried. "Yes, I swear as a Sister of Fate and Child of Antaria and forth not! Now go torture Stacey about this! Geez!" She hung up, tossing Maylin her phone, rolling her gypsy green eyes. "I know she's pregnant but geez, easy on the mood swings."
"You were just as bad with Carter." Chazz replied, smirking as he looked at her.
"I know but you put up with it." Tama sighed.
"Yeah, because I did my happy dance everytime we were done a month!" exclaimed Chazz, Carter and Tara collapsed.
"I think its time for Chazz and Tama to have some time alone." Kalai pointed out, Alexis and Maylin nodded in agreement.
"Hey kids, I'll treat you all to ice cream since we're in town." Reia said, grabbing Aléa as Maylin shoved the kids out the door followed by the adults. "Let's go!"
"Geez..." Tyra and Edo muttered, feeling like Reia was treating them like little kids.
The door closed behind them and Tama saw that Chazz was glaring at her. She already heard the entire lecture in his head, saving her the trouble of him actually breathing it.
"Tamara..." Chazz said sternly.
Here it comes... He leaned down and kissed her on the lips. He pulled away after a few moments.
"I love you, no matter what happens." Chazz whispered, sitting next to her on the bed.
Tama's eyes filled with tears of joy, she then said quietly, "Chazz..."
He kissed her again, cutting her off.
"How about we take sometime for each other? You know we both been pretty busy lately." Chazz said smirking again.
"I know but you have to help your mom and I know she'll-" Tama began, he kissed her again, but more passionately this time. "Well, she'll throw a fit or maybe even-" Tama continued, he kissed her again, "And are you just trying to tell me something because I can really read your mind!" She finally exclaimed and smirked at him.
"Maybe..." Chazz said innocently, he looked so cute standing there looking innocent and embarrassed.
"Sure, as soon as you bribe the doctor to make me go home today." Tama said grinning.
"Not going to happen... but since you got a private room, why not take advantage of that?" Chazz whispered.
"You're bad, you know that." She laughed at him while he went to lock the door.
A/N: That entire section was Divine Child's idea. Not mine... Okay! Onto the Ice Cream Place!
Domino Ice Cream Shop:
"Geez, they look like they've never had a big group before." Phoebe muttered as the cashiers and managers looked at the huge group with their mouths agap and their eyes bulging. Raven was silently walking by her side. Jalen on her other side. Eyealon and Kiara were walking with Antaria inbetween them. "Well, we all better chip in girls."
Tyranno collected all the orders and money, volunteering to order for twenty-three people. (What is he? Nuts!)
Twenty Minutes Later:
Severus and Leona sat next to each other and talked quietly while they sipped their chocolate sodas. Leona's blue-green eyes sparkling. Severus smiled warmly at her and she finally kissed him on his cheek, making him blush. Kalai giggled at her nephew, making him turn even more red.
Kalai, Maylin, Phoebe, Viola, and Alexis were all sitting together, hearts in their eyes as they stared at Kiara and Michael, who were feeding each other vanilla ice cream and smiling at each other. They all sighed when Michael took Kiara's hand. His face was pink as he leaned across the table and whispered something, before giving her a gentle kiss. Kiara's face had turned blood red as Chibi-Chazz jumped up, high-fived Michael, and screamed in victory.
"I'M FREE! NO MORE PSYCHOTIC NICKNAME!" Carter cried, dancing around in circles and falling flat on his face.
Kiara sweatdropped as Tara smacked her forehead in embarrassment. Paige laughed as she pulled Carter to his feet, hugged him, and to everyone's surprise, kissed him on the cheek!
"It's okay!" Paige sang, wrapping her arms around him. "You'll always be Chibi-Chazz in my heart, Carter."
"PAIGE!" he cried, she ran away from him, his cheeks flaming.
"Oh... my..." Phoebe said, before she fainted at her daughter's sudden actions.
"Phoebe!" all of her friends cried at once.
Eyealon and Wyatt were sitting in a booth to themselves away from everyone. Eyealon and him both had chocolate covered strawberries and they were smiling and teasing each other. Finally, Wyatt slid closer to her, his dark green eyes filled with surprise.
"Eyealon." he said softly.
"Yes?" she asked.
"Nothing." Wyatt said. "I just wanted to say your name... it's such a beautiful name."
Eyealon felt her cheeks flaming as Wyatt kissed her and she snuggled up against him.
A/N: There's alot of fluff in this place, isn't there?
Tara and Cole were watching all the fluff taking place in the room. Cole then chuckled.
"Tara, will you do me a favor?" Cole asked, as Paige kissed Carter's other cheek when he cornered her.
"What?" Tara asked.
"Roll me off a cliff before Paige confesses her love for Chibi-Chazz." said Cole.
"Only if you take me with you." Tara said softly, Phoebe nearly had a heart attack at all of her children flirting and kissing.
Well, except for Raven...
Jalen and Raven:
Jalen watched Antaria out of the corner of his eye. She was sitting Ashton and kidding around with him. He was smiling at her with his honey-brown eyes. Jalen didn't know. He didn't know that Ashton's half-sister was Antaria's cousin. He only saw Ashton and Antaria, his heart shattering at once. Raven looked at him and finally spoke.
"Jalen." she said suddenly.
"We need to talk." they said in unison before sheepishly laughing.
"Raven, you're a really cool girl and everything but..." Jalen said.
"Save it, Princey." Raven smirked. "I know."
"Know what?" Jalen demanded.
"That you love her..." Raven whispered, it pained her to say this as she indicated to Antaria. "But now I know... Antaria has two gifts."
"Two gifts?" Jalen whispered confused.
"One is the one she recieved from being a Child of Antaria." Raven continued. She then said softly. "But the other is the gift to capture your heart. I knew you loved her the moment you came to her defense the day we met, Jalen. But a part me desperatly hoped that you might give me a chance as well. But I was bitter as I hid from the truth." Raven gently squeezed Jalen's hand. "I wanna break up. You belong with Antaria. I belong with somebody else. You know this as well." She leaned back and smiled. "So, go and get your Princess."
"Raven..." Jalen said quietly. "I dunno how to thank you."
"You can thank me by finally telling Antaria the truth." Raven whispered.
"But she hates me." Jalen said, hanging his head.
Raven tipped his chin.
"No one can hate you. They may pretend it, but they never really can."
Fifteen Minutes Later:
"Butterfly?" Jalen said quietly, Antaria looked up from her strawberry bananna smoothie and looked into his face.
A smile formed on her lips as he sat next to her. Ashton had fled when he caught Tyra and Edo kissing and Vento was table dueling the girl cashier who was on break. (What? I couldn't leave him out, could I?) Everyone else sort of faded into the background as Jalen's golden brown eyes locked with Antaria's amethyst ones. She seemed different.
"Hi, Jay." she said quietly.
"Antaria." Jalen said finally. "I told you something... when you 'weren't here'."
To his surprise, she smiled.
"I know." she whispered. "I could hear you."
"You... could?" Jalen choked out."You sang a song, didn't you?" Antaria questioned. "You sang to me."
"Yes..." Jalen admitted, his facing flaming and he sweatdropped.
"How did it go?" whispered Antaria, Jalen avoided her eyes. "Oh c'mon, Jay. Please?"
"Fine..." Jalen said, he began to sing it again.
A
hundred days have made me older
Since the last time that I saw
your pretty face
A thousand lies have made me colder
And I
don't think I can look at this the same
But all the miles that
separate
Disappear now when I'm dreaming of your face
I'm
here without you baby
But you're still on my lonely mind
I
think about you baby
And I dream about you all the time
I'm
here without you baby
But you're still with me in my dreams
And
tonight it's only you and me
Antaria sighed as she placed her head in her hands. Staring deeply into Jalen's eyes as he sang more powerfully.
The
miles just keep rollin'
As the people leave their way to say
hello
I've heard this life is overrated
But I hope that it gets
better as we go
I'm
here without you baby
But you're still on my lonely mind
I
think about you baby
And I dream about you all the time
I'm
here without you baby
But you're still with me in my dreams
And
tonight, girl, its only you and me
Everything
I know, and anywhere I go
It gets hard but it wont take away my
love
And when the last one falls
When it's all said and done
It
gets hard but it wont take away my love
Jalen smiled softly at her as he continued to sing gently. Her amethyst eyes shining with purity.
I'm
here without you baby
But you're still on my lonely mind
I
think about you baby
And I dream about you all the time
I'm
here without you baby
But you're still with me in my dreams
And
tonight girl its only you and me...
Everyone paused as the doors opened and a person with light blue hair, grey eyes, and Jalen's height entered the building. Antaria jumped up, squealed, and ran to her father. Throwing her arms around him and hugging him to death.
"Antaria!" Syrus cried, hugging his daughter. "I was so worried about you! Your mother has been trying to kill everyone because of what Tama did!"
"Hi there, Half-Pint." Tyranno said, Syrus narrowed his eyes at him.
"Hassleberry." he said shortly.
"Daddy! I want you to meet all of my new friends!" Antaria cried, Jalen sighed.
"Dang it, Jay..." he muttered. "You almost told her... now what're you going to do?"
Syrus was then dragged around the room and introduced to all of Antaria's friends. To Raven's surprise, Antaria pulled her over to her father and was shocked at what Antaria said.
"Dad, this is my new friend Raven." she said.
"FRIEND!" Raven's mind exploded.
Every single teenager fell over in sheer surprise. Anime confusion swirls in their eyes. Antaria giggled and Syrus sweatdropped.
"Why does she have to have Tyler's energy?" Syrus muttered.
"Why does she have to have your shortness?" Maylin countered.
"And your bangs?" Alexis added. She then smirked. "And by the way, you remember my son, Jalen?"
"Yeah?" Syrus said slowly.
Jalen walked over to him and bowed slightly. Syrus blinked in confusion.
"Mr. Truesdale." Jalen said, Syrus nearly collapsed.
"Just call me Syrus." Syrus said at once.
"He should be calling him 'dad' soon enough." Tyra muttered, Edo laughed.
"Heh?" both males said together.
"Oh come off it, Jalen." Tyra said louder. "It's obvious that you have a crush on-"
Cole and Tara quickly covered Tyra's mouth. Laughing sheepishly. Syrus staring at Tyra in confusion.
"What's going on?" he demanded.
"We'll discuss that later." Alexis said, Syrus sweatdropped once more. "Right now it's time to get these angry things back to Academy Island."
