OH MY GOSH SIXERS! I MISSED YOU SO FREAKING MUCH! So I'm sorry you haven't seen any new stories but my processor is acting really weird. BUT I CAN update stories I've already made! ALSO!

(READ!)

Chad and Taylor's daughters' birthday, (Jasmine *who is in this story* , and her un-shown twin Maya Christina) was April 10th! Our babies. Are now three, in official years! Thanks to everyone who mothered them and helped me shape their personalties! So since I am unable to post the special birthday episode...VOILA! JASMINE GETS AN ENTIRE CHAPTER CELEBRATING HER BIRTHDAY! With a few more surprises...

Chad had gotten the phone call from Taylor after she left his house a month ago, today was Jasmine's 5th birthday. Marking the first year he actually knew about her. His eyes wandered to a picture atop his fireplace of him and his unknowing daughter, smiling at the camera. In his happy daze, Taylor interrupted him with a text:

Taylor:

It's party time!

Chad chuckled at his phone just as Troy came in. The blonde was eating a baby carrot.

"You know," Troy said "You should have her down as, 'Taylor baby mama' instead of Taylor."

In pure shock Chad's brain took a moment to process Troy. The fact he was there AND the fact he'd just put that in his head. Chad blinked before shoving him.

"Shut up and get in the yard." Chad pointed sternly as Troy went laughing back. Chad rubbed the back of his neck, stood by the door, and began playing Crossy Road on his phone. Dang it! The stupid chicken kept dying!

"You. Will. Cross. The. Road!" Chad gritted as he kept rapidly tapping his phone screen. The doorbell rang for the third time and Chad opened the door. Taylor was looking at him expectantly, ignoring her glare Chad looked down at Jasmine, who was wearing the most freaking adorable blue dress he'd ever seen. He sighed.

"Aw..." He sighed mesmerized at her before kneeling down and messing with a curl in the front of Jasmine's face causing her to giggle. "Come here." Chad said holding his arms out and hugging her. "Happy birthday!" he said before kissing her on the cheek.

"Hey Chad!" Jasmine smiled

"How has your birthday been?" He smiled

Jasmine shrugged "We got ice cream?"
"Hey!" Taylor pouted in mock offense, Chad laughed

"Come with me." He shook his head before opening the door to the backyard.

"SURPRISE!" Everyone (meaning the wildcats and their children) popped up decked in pool attire.

Jasmine squealed in delight before hugging her parents "Thank you Thank you Thank you!" During the hug Chad and Taylor exchanged glances before Jasmine broke apart and ran out to her friends

Taylor smiled and sighed "All those weeks of planning really paid off!" she whispered

"Hopefully they don't tire us out too much." Chad said looking at his watch 7:00 pm. That shouldn't be too long right?

2 Hours later.

"Start spreading the news! I'm leavin' today! " Troy, Jasmine, and Madi sang for karaoke as everyone laid on the couches and bean bags smiling tiredly yet still energized. The adults had secretly brought a little alcohol. Of course they would sneak away for some. So OF COURSE their heads were pounding.

"I'm gonna clean up." Chad whispered to Taylor.

"I'll help." Taylor volunteered getting up and following him into the den. When she got down there he was clearing plastic cups and plates. She grabbed a trash bag and began helping.

"Thanks by the way." Chad smiled

"You're welcome." Taylor smiled back gently clearing his den table, her hand brushed it down, knocking a file down, she picked it up.

"I never would have gotten this done alone-" he grumbled before turning to Taylor who was holding up the paper.

Another contract for the NBA that had him leave in the first place.

"You're leaving again?" she asked

Chad walked over quickly and took the paper "I'm thinking about it." he said shortly, stashing it away.

Taylor stood appalled as he put it away.

"Why?" she said breathlessly

"Because I can." Chad shrugged slowly

"Chad-"

"Taylor I lost you to this dumb contract. You're not around anymore. Why shouldn't I? I literally have nothing to come back to!" He said raising his voice. Lucky the door was soundproof. He flipped around holding up a finger. "And before you say Jasmine, of course I'd come back for her. But you're getting married. Why do you care?!" he asked frustrated. 5 years of hurt resurfaced like hungry sharks.

Now Taylor was getting frustrated "Do you think that I wanted to hurt you? That the moment I walked out of that apartment and out of your life I didn't feel a stab of regret embed itself in my heart? That everything that ever happened didn't mean anything the moment my foot touched the exit-"

"Well apparently not Taylor! Because you're getting married." Chad scoffed, laughing at her angrily. He grunted frustratedly and put his head down.

Taylor's face fell, her brown eyes widening in sorrow. "Chad it hurt me as much as it hurt you-"

"Did it Taylor?" Chad's head snapped up, brown eyes now a deep black. "Did that exact same pain eat at you for five years?" Chad's phone rang, Troy. He put it on speaker.

"Hey man, hate to leave you with this mess but the kids are tired, princess already went to her room, can we go?" he asked. Chad had made a room for Jasmine for when she came over. She needed her nap time.

"Yeah just lock the door when you leave." Chad said

"Okay." He said

"Bye!" Everyone chorused before leaving, Chad heard the door click through the phone. He turned his pitch black eyes filled with anger and hurt back at Taylor before slowly progressing towards her. Taylor took slow and fearful steps back.

"Five long years of pain and torture. Five long years of knowing the one person you loved doesn't love you anymore. FOUR long years of not knowing that you had a beautiful little girl. Four long years of everything missed. Only to find out that for FOUR. LONG! PAINFUL YEARS!" He yelled, pinning his arms to each side of Taylor, who had backed up to the table. He gripped the table side angrily. "THAT YOU'VE BEEN COMPLETELY FORGOTTEN ABOUT!" He yelled Taylor hopped onto the table fearfully holding up a hand meekly, Chad still pinned the sides of the table. "So do you REALLY want to tell me that for FOUR. YEARS! You had that same pain!?"

Quiet.

Taylor stood with a sadly shocked look on her face, mouth slightly open. "Yes." she whispered shaking her head.

Chad looked at her with wide eyes before breaking and placing his head in her lap. "Then why did you go?" he said sadly

Taylor calmly stroked his hair, missing those long springy curls. Now gone, like their relationship.
"I don't know…" she sighed, she felt him hug her waist. Good, he was calming down. She continued comforting him.

He mumbled "I was lost Taylor."

"I know…" She whispered shamefully "I'm so sorry." she said her eyes watering

He lifted his head "You're sorry?"

She nodded taking the side of his face into her palm. "If I had supported you then we-" she inhaled "We wouldn't-"

"Sh…" Chad shook his head in disbelief "I don't blame you…"

Taylor nodded.

Chad stroked her cheek "I've missed you so much…"

Then without thinking. (In these moments when do humans ever think?) Taylor captured his lips with hers.

(A/N: Yeah so I was gonna have CHAD kiss her but I figured, hey, Taylor needs some blame.)

Chad slowly leaned forward so Taylor fell back onto the table, continuing this little session. They broke apart before slowly walking upstairs. Dazed and slightly drunk. Taylor sat down on Chad's couch nearby and restarted. Chad broke from Taylor and looked at her.

"What about you getting home?" He tilted his head

"I'll set an alarm." Taylor waved it off

Later on in the night-

(A/N: You guys must be outraged. Well excuse me for having a near innocent mind. *pft*)

Later on in the night an alarm went off. 12:00 AM. Taylor woke up and looked at her phone, Chad's arm was around her he woke up.

They gasped and sat up "Oh my gosh." Chad put his face in his hands "I told Troy that alcohol wasn't appropriate!" Taylor groaned they looked at each other and laughed nervously "I'm sorry Taylor..." Chad mumbled into her shoulder "It's just another mistake right?" Taylor laughed slightly Chad waited for a moment "Yeah" he nodded Taylor quickly got dressed and rushed to get Jasmine

Jasmine?" Taylor shook her daughter "Mommy it's early..." she said half asleep "We have to go." Taylor smiled Chad, now dressed, stood in the doorway smiling Jasmine got up and gave him a hug goodbye. Then they got in the car and drove off.

—-
When they drove into the driveway, Taylor began breathing really hard. Panic set in. She slammed the steering wheel.

"Oh my goodness what have I done?!" Taylor mumbled against the wheel, hair sheathing it.

"Mommy…" Jasmine asked slowly, disturbed. "What's wrong?"

Taylor looked back into her hazel eyes. "Nothing sweetie." she said gently before getting out the car and holding her hand. She noticed the light was on, she remembered Kevin was supposed to meet them after the party. She broke into a run, ready to apologize. When they opened the door, it was not a pretty sight.

There were cords everywhere. Taylor looked over at the television where the same video camera Jasmine found was paused in front of Chad and Taylor smiling at the camera. And last but not least, the East High yearbook on the counter. The pages Chad and Taylor had sealed months before, open. Exposing years and years of secrets. Well kept ones at that.

Well kept for 5 years.

"Oh my God." Taylor whispered fearfully

"My God indeed." a voice said, the two turned to see Kevin lurking in the shadows of the dining room. Taylor stepped back an inch. Jasmine stepped behind her mother.

"You know," Kevin began at his fiancé stepping closer. "I never understood why you were always so…secretive. But now it all makes sense!" He laughed then turned his dark look to Jasmine "Every last detail."

"Kevin don't." Taylor held a hand up, the other protectively on the child.

"Tell me little one." He paid no heed. "Where do you come from."

"M-my mom…" Jasmine answered respectfully

"Yeah." he rolled his eyes "And your dad?"

"I don't have one…" she said quietly, still hiding behind Taylor.

"Well of course you do. Everyone has a mom and a dad." He said looking genuinely nice for two seconds. All sarcasm, he turned his gaze to Taylor "Unless if your mother lied to you and told you otherwise."

"Kevin stop!" Taylor said fearfully, eyes wide.

"How could you be so stupid?" Kevin said, ignoring Taylor once more, and her attempts to push him out. He pushed her back. "Don't you get it?"

"No." Jasmine said with eyes wide

Kevin snorted evilly and took her by the shoulders. Powerpoint time. He pointed to the television. Pointed to Chad and Taylor. "Look at that photo and tell me what you see!"

"If you're implying that my mom and Chad dated, I know. I found the camera last week. So?" The five year old said, Taylor looked up shocked. Kevin grinned viciously at Taylor before getting a remote.

"Well what if we place your adorable face…"

Taylor gasped in distress and anger.

"Right next to theirs!" Kevin clicked a button. Jasmine's face appeared. She stared confused before gasping.

It all made sense now…

Her eyes…Her smile…Her attitude…It belonged to…

"Them." Kevin laughed

Before Taylor could get to Kevin he held her back.

"Don't you get it? You've been living a lie." Kevin taunted.

Jasmine stared at the floor with an open mouth. Her eyes began to turn wet. Though no tears fell, they were seen inside. Her lip began to tremble as she stumbled back.

Taylor was released and she ran over to her daughter "Jasmine sweetheart I'm so sorry-"

Jasmine then pushed Taylor off. Something she had never even thought of doing in her entire life. Though it shocked her it didn't show.

"You lied to me." Jasmine's gentle voice shook. "All this time you've told me I didn't have a father!" the five year old was distraught. "I've been teased at school for some STUPID MYTHICAL EXCUSE?!"

At that moment Jordan came down. She looked at her niece and sister in awe. Not a good awe.

Jasmine had never yelled. Or even gotten angry. This shocked Kevin, but in a good way. A really good way.

Taylor shook her head in tears "I know honey but I promise if I could turn back the time and-"
Jasmine was infuriated, though her voice quieted down.

"You're supposed to be my mother how could you…" she sniffed "How could you do this to me?" she shook her head and ran upstairs.

"Jasmine-" Jordan reached out before missing. She was gone. Kevin glared at Taylor before the two broke into a full blown argument.

"How could you be so stupid?!" Taylor screamed at him

"How could you be so blind!?" He fired back "Your little girl led me right to all the evidence!"

A rumble was heard. Jordan went to check it out.

"I admit that was a past relationship! But it's over! How dare you even tell her that!" Taylor screamed, now she was out of character.

"So you admit Jasmine is Chad's daughter." He grinned.

Silence.

"Your five years of lying is up." Kevin shook his head. Taylor still stayed quiet. He knew.

Before he could say something smug, Jordan burst through the door.

"TAYLOR!" she screamed for her little sister, Taylor turned. "Taylor," Jordan began out of breath "The garage door is open and Jasmine is gone! Her closet looks like a hurricane swept through it!" Jordan said with her voice cracking.

"WHAT?!" Taylor cried, apparently the only one concerned. Kevin left. Taylor ran to the phone and called Chad.

"Hello?" a groggy voice answered

"Chad Jasmine's gone!" Taylor exclaimed
"What?!" Chad answered, now awake. "Gone where?!"

"I don't know!" Taylor cried

"I'll be right there." Chad shook his head "What happened?" he asked, Taylor told him. He was infuriated.

"Unbelievable." She heard him slam the steering wheel, then a screech outside. She stepped out.

"Get in." he growled before speeding off into the darkness.

-

Yes. Jasmine knows. I'm really excited to see your reaction at this madness xD Okay- time to get serious.

Where is Jasmine?

Oh oh wait, before I go and decide what happens next, I want you to think of all the bad things that could happen to a five year old child who's run away from home and lost in New york!….you got it?….GOOD! LATER BYE!
