Chapter 20

Jade's POV

I wanted to be mad at Tori for asking Trina and Beck what they were going to do. If they were going to stay at Mom and Dad's or get their own place. I wanted to tell her that she was pushing the issue and that I wasn't ready to let the place be run over by family yet. But in the long run Tori was right she didn't ask them to move in or point out that we had the room. She didn't tell them that we were talking about asking them to move in and she didn't run out and make keys for all of them. Pulse I don't think either Trina or Beck caught on what she was getting at. However I do think Dad did but he won't say anything. I hope.

Now I think Tori was right. We should ask them to see if this is something they even want to do. Man I think I have whiplash.

"Jade, are you ready to go to bed?" Tori asked me from the living room doorway.

"No, I have too much on my mind. Can we talk?" I asked patting the couch next to me. Tori smiled and walked over sitting down where I patted.

"What is going on?" She asked me as she put her feet up on the coffee table.

"I know I said I wanted to wait until later to ask everyone to move in, but I think it might be nice to have them here now." I said letting my head dop a little knowing I did make somewhat of a scene tonight. I know I was a bit of a bitch to her about the whole thing but change is scary for me and I don't like to deal with it.

Tori looks at me and I can feel the daggers piercing my head. I know she isn't mad at me but at the sametime I know she could have done without the freakout as well. "Jade, I will do this on your timeline but you have to stick to a timeline." Tori stood up from the couch and looked down at me with her hands on her hips. I know I was in for it then. "You can't tell me that I was wrong to ask our sister and brother what their next move was going to be only to tell me that I was right two hours later." She started to pace in front of the couch waving her hands in front of her like she was trying to guide a plane to land. "I don't want to invite our siblings to move in here only to have you freak out the day they do. So pick a mood and stick with it will you." She turned to me pointing her finger into my chest.

I stood up only to sit back down again. I didn't want to fight and I knew I was wrong for the way I talked to her before I just didn't know what I wanted to do at the time. "I'm sorry honey I shouldn't have talked to you like that." I was about to say something else when she cut me off.

"No you shouldn't have! It was your damned idea in the first fucking place and you bitched me out like I had just kicked your fucking dog." She turned and walked out of the living room.

I looked at the doorway and asked "are we done talking then?"

"No I just want something to drink, sorry it wasn't your idea."

Oh it is going to be a long night!

Trina's POV

On the way home from Jade and Tori's I was quietly thinking to myself. Tori was asking us what we are going to do next. If we had any plans on moving out and getting our own place. I can't stop winding if Mom and Dad want us to leave to get out on our own. I guess it would make since we are married and have a child we do have the money to move out and get a small place of our own. We will have more money if the movie is a blockbuster. I mean Beck is one of the writers and the male lead actor. Not to mention that Tori and Jade would make bank with Jade being the other writer and female lead plus Troi's record deal and getting the soundtrack.

I just wonder if we did something wrong to make Mom and Dad want us to leave. I mean Beck has only been back less than a month and we haven't asked them to take Little David so we could go out or just leave without asking. I just don't know why Tori was asking those questions.

"Hey you okay Babe?" Beck asked me, pulling me out of my head.

"Yeah, I was just thinking about tonight." I said looking out the side window.

Beck put his hand on my leg and gave it a little squeeze. "What about tonight? You seem upset?" He patted my leg letting me know he was listening.

I looked at my loving husband and knew I could tell him what was on my mind. "Oh I was thinking about the questions Tori was asking us. Finding out what we were going to do next. It almost seems like she knows something that we don't, like Mom and Dad want us to move out or something." I said and I realized that saying the words out loud made the thought hurt even worse. I let the tears fall down my cheeks as I quietly cried.

Beck pulled the car over into an empty parking lot and putting the car in park. He turned to me, taking my hands. "Baby, if Mom and Dad want us to move out it is because they are in the loop with Jade and Tori. I was coming back from the bathroom. I walked by the kitchen and I heard Tori and Jade talking. They were talking about all of us moving in with them." He told me with a smile.

My eyes grow to the size of dinner plates. "What are they thinking there isn't enough room in that house, no matter how big it is for all of us kids." I couldn't believe my sister would be so stupid to want eleven people to move into an eight bedroom house. I couldn't believe Jade would want eleven people around her let alone live with her in an eight bedroom house. "Wasn't Tori's big complaint that there were too many people around? Isn't that why they moved?" I was floored that they would even entertain the thought.

Beck started to laugh which was not making my mood any better. "No, Baby, they don't want us to live with them, they want us to move into the other houses on the property." He stopped laughing when he saw that it was upsetting me and just giggled a little. "There are three houses on the property and all three houses have three to six bedrooms to them. Plus every house has a guest house that has up to three bedrooms and their own kitchens. You see Tori and Jade would have the main house and then we all would have our own houses. This could work." He told me with a sad smile on his face.

He put the car into gear and drove us back to Mom and Dad's. We got Little David down in his pack n play and then went out on the patio where Beck started talking again. "I remember when Jade would bring Cat and I over there to get away from the everyday pain of it all. Her grandfather would have the help make up our own guest house just so we could have some peace and quiet for a while. Jade's brother would bring us over there after school on Friday and we would stay until our birth parents started looking for us. Jade would stay there too; she had her own house with her sister and nephew. Don't let her play the 'I never knew my sister' card because she did. Well until her father found out that Tessa was living there and all hell broke loose. He made Jade stop seeing him which broke her heart. He hurt her so badly that she pushed everything out of her mind, the house, her sister and nephew, even her grandfather. She didn't remember him until the day of his funeral. Tori said everything came rushing back to her and all she could do that night was cry until she fell asleep." Beck told me all of this stuff I had no idea about.

It wasn't like I didn't want to know about what was going on with Jade at the time. Of course I did, she's my sister and I love her. I was just a little busy at the time making a new life and well that took a lot of my time and patients. The day of her grandfather's funeral I had a doctor's

appointment with an ultrasound. So it wasn't that I didn't want to be there for Jade, I just couldn't at the time. "So Jade had to stop seeing her grandfather and you and Cat had to stay with your birth parents, just because her birth father couldn't be a man and except the fact his daughter had a kid?." I asked him knowing the answer but part of me hoped for a different one, a happier one, one that was made of rainbows and cotton candy. But I knew that was not the case. Beck didn't answer me, he just looked down into his coffee. Oh what have I done to my beautiful husband. "Beck, sweetie I'm sorry I shouldn't have asked that. But we could be living there soon. And we don't have to worry about Jade's birth father!" I told him with a smile.

"Yeah he's a bitch." Is all he said before walking back into the house. I watched as Beck walked up the stairs. Dad came out with a worried look on his face.

"What's up with Beck? He looks pretty down." He asked me.

"We were talking and some of his past came up, he is having a hard time with it." I tell Dad as I move closer to him.

Dad put his arm around my shoulder. "Well BAby Girl one thing you and Tori have to remember is that your brothers and sisters did not come from the best of households. You husband was treated like a dog and Tori's wife was forgotten about until she wasn't then she was treated like she was a burden from both parents. Jade puts on a good show but that girl is still in a lot of pain and living in the one person's house that ever really loved her has to hurt more than life itself. Having Tori has to help a lot but it is just the two of them and Jade has gotten used to having a family around. Something she never thought she ever needed but found she did." Dad told me then kissed me on my head like he used to do when I was little. "Don't stay out here too long, don't want you catching a chill." He smiled and walked into the house.

I sat on the patio for a little while longer thinking about what Beck said about Jade and Him and Cat. I also thought about what Dad said about Jade needing a family and how this family came together in the first place.

"Jade! It has always been Jade! She was the one that brought the kids to Mom and Dad, she was the one who made sure that I stopped being the butt of my own joke. Hell she's the one who hit Tori and Cat that started this whole thing. And now it's Jade that is moving us into her house to stay as a family. Jade! It has and always will be Jade!" I said out loud as I cleaned up the coffee cups and went inside for the night. Walking to my room I stop and look at the picture of all us kids and smile. "Of course you're right Jade we have to be together we are a family." I blow a kiss to my siblings and go to bed.
