Chapter Thirteen: I wanna be like you.. Ooh Ooh
"Come on, we'd better get that ankle of yours seen to little miss… Otherwise people will start to think we're bad mothers" Jade joked, as they all got up to leave.
"I'm sorry that we did what we did… It was mainly my fault really" Alex apologized as Jade helped her up. Jade gave her a serious look.
"That may be so but Jennifer still went along with it. So she's in just as much trouble" Jade told her as they walked through the corridors to the elevator with Tori, Beck, Patrick and Jennifer lagging behind a little.
"Why did you run away in the first place? You're not that disgusted with the idea of your mom and I being a couple, are you?" Jade asked worriedly.
"No! I'm sorry that it looked that way…" Alex trailed of, watching her feet as she walked.
"Come on, you can tell me!" Jade assured her.
"It'll sound silly" Alex admitted.
"No it won't. If you and I are going to form some kind of mother daughter bond you've got to tell me things" Jade told her.
"I guess I just got scared and a little angry. This whole switched at birth thing is difficult and it's been bugging me that there's all these things I don't know about myself and where I came from and seeing you and my mom… together, kind of made me jealous… you seemed more interested in her than getting to know me… your daughter" Alex admitted. Jade stopped in her tracks and pulled Alex to a halt to, she looked the teenager straight in the eyes and said;
"Hey, listen to me! Of course I'm interested in getting to know you… Just because I'm going to be with Tori now that doesn't mean I'm going to be spending all my time with her… You, Jennifer and Patrick are my first priorities! And as far as the stuff about you and where you came from, I can answer any question you want me too. Okay?" Alex nodded.
"Now give your birth mom a hug!" Jade ordered holding out her arms to which Alex accepted and hugged her.
"Awe!" Tori beamed, as she the others finally caught up with them. Jade gave her an easy smile and they were all on their way again.
After finally leaving the hospital Beck went home to his wife Cindy whilst Tori, Jade, Alex, Jennifer and Patrick all went to freezey Queen for Ice-Cream. Alex was given pain-killers from the doctor and a strict instruction to rest for at least a week or so but luckily she hadn't torn the ligaments in her foot enough to need crutches or anything.
"I just got a text from Trina, she and Mike named the baby!" Tori exclaimed, as they sat down to eat their Ice-creams. Everyone looked at her expectantly to tell them the name that her older sister had chosen.
"So what's the name, Vega?" Jade asked impatiently.
"Eva" Tori announced happily.
"That's cute!" Jennifer beamed happily.
"Eh... It's okay" Jade shrugged.
"It's pretty!" Tori defended although there was no real need to, it wasn't as if she'd personally chosen it herself and after all Jade was joking!
"So... um... what's going to happen now?" Patrick asked, timidly from his seat. Jade gave him a reassuring smile.
"What do you mean, little man?" She asked.
"With you and Tori?" He explained. Tori and Jade exchanged a look. They still had yet to have that conversation and thought it best to discuss it with each other before talking to the kids.
"Well... We'll let you know when we know" Tori replied.
"So... how did you manage to annoy that receptionist?" Jade asked her son, changing the subject. He displayed a smirk matching the one his mother usually wore as he began to explain what had happened back at the hospital;
Patrick made his way cautiously to the receptionist working earlier that day. She was sitting at the desk looking bored and uninterested until he cleared his throat. She looked him over and gave him a weak smile.
"Can I help you?" She asked, politely. He nodded.
"Umm... What's your name?" He asked quietly. She smiled a little.
"Grace... What's yours?" She asked.
"I'm called Patrick!" He exclaimed as if he were a three year old not thirteen.
"Can I have your number?" He asked, suddenly gaining the confidence he'd been pretending to lack before. She squinted her eyes in confusion.
"Um, Excuse me?" She asked.
"I asked if you could tell me your favorite number!" He lied, knowing that that would confuse the lady even more.
"Oh... Sorry, I thought if you asked if you could have my number" She laughed a little. "It's 23"
"Cool... So... where do you work?" He asked.
"Um... Here!" She said, giving a suspicious look.
"Do you like squids?" He inquired. She placed her arms on her hips and eyed him up and down suspiciously.
"Are you trying to waste my time?" She asked, outraged. He nodded.
"Yeah, my mom told me to!" He admitted.
"What an influence she is on you then!" The receptionist snidely remarked, raising an eyebrow.
"She's the best influence!" He defended. "Do you have a daughter?" He suddenly asked.
"NO! and if I did I certainly wouldn't want her dating you" Grace replied.
"That's not a very nice thing to say" Patrick remarked, faking a hurt look. After a few moments of silence the young boy smiled and went on his way.
As Patrick finished telling them his story they all burst into fits of laughter.
"You certainly are a weird kid!" Tori smiled, ruffling his hair a little. She shrugged his shoulders.
"and a pretty good Actor! I think you may be following in my footsteps boy!" Jade said.
"Actually mom... I was meaning to bring that up!" He replied, Jade looked at him gave him a smile encouraging him to carry on. "I want to go to Hollywood Arts!" He told her truthfully. When he'd first started High-School he was happy to go to the same one as his sister but after joining a drama club in his current school he had been leaning towards Hollywood Arts.
"Oh... well.. I'll support you but Hollywood Arts is tough to get in to. I'm not saying you won't but there are a lot of students who apply and audition each year and some are extremely talented yet they still don't get in but I'll try my best to help you with that!" She told him.
"I'm ready for it!" He insisted.
"Good" Jade replied happily. She was feeling extremely proud of her sin and flattered that he wanted to be like her and kind of glad that he thought that she was a great role-model and someone he could look up to. She'd never been like that towards her parents when she was younger and she was glad he wasn't like her in that aspect.
A/N: Sorry it's a little short. This was mainly a filler chapter, I'll try and make the next chapter longer... but for now review and let me know your thoughts... Thanks for reading!
