Chapter Eleven
A loud buzzing sound woke Kelsi with a start. Once she realized what it was, she reached her arm over and turned the alarm clock off. She smiled to herself and wiggled farther under the covers.
When Jason didn't feel her get out of bed and rolled over and asked, "Aren't you getting up?"
"Nope. This is my day off." She leaned over and kissed him on his nose.
"Really?" Jason asked. Kelsi nodded. "Guess what? It's my day off too." Since Kelsi had started at Wal-Mart, they haven't had a day off together.
Just then, Dagda jumped onto the bed and meowed. Jason and Kelsi laughed. "Don't worry, we didn't forget about you." Kelsi said, she reached over and petted Dagda behind the ears.

"Hmm. That smells delicious." Jason said, sniffing the air. Kelsi walked over to the table, carrying two plates. One was the eggs that she just fried, the other was the bacon. The toast was already sitting in the center of the table. Jason got into the refrigerator and withdrew two jars of jam. Strawberry and peach.
"Is that everything?" Kelsi asked, looking around. Dagda was happily lapping at his breakfast.
They sat down and began to eat. In the middle of breakfast, Jason spoke. "Since we both have the day off, we should do something together."
"We need to take Dagda to see the vet and then the rest of the afternoon is free." Kelsi reminded him.

"Well, how is he?" Kelsi asked.
The young vet, whose hair was a flaming red, smiled at them. "She will be just fine."
Both Jason and Kelsi's jaws dropped. "A girl?" Kelsi asked.
But when I bought him…"
"Her." Kelsi interrupted.
"Okay her. When I bought her, the pet store said she was a he." Jason pointed out.
The vet shook her head. "They must have been mistaken."
Kelsi looked at Jason. "At least we don't have to worry about her spraying."
Jason smiled. "You have a point."

After taking Dagda back home and dropping her off, Jason and Kelsi went to the park.
Jason was pushing Kelsi on the swing when Jason's cell went off. "I'll be right back." He ran to the picnic table and answered it. "Hello?" There was a short pause. "You're kidding."
Kelsi heard his tone of voice and got off the swing and walked over to him. "What's going on?" She asked, concerned. She could tell by Jason's facial expressions that it was something bad. "We're on our way." He closed his phone and looked at his wife. "Chad and Taylor's house burnt down."
Kelsi gasped and brought her hand to her mouth. "Are they okay?"
"They weren't there when it happened. They were making wedding arrangements." Jason informed her. Kelsi let out a sigh of relief.

"Taylor!" Kelsi yelled. Jason didn't even get a change to fully stop before Kelsi was out of the car.
Kelsi ran over and put her arms around one of her best friends. Taylor was sobbing hysterically. "Why?" Taylor asked.
Just then, Chad and Troy came over. "What happened?" Kelsi asked.
"Don't know." Chad replied. "We were at the church, making plans for our wedding and when we got back the firemen were already here and the house was gone." Taylor let got of Kelsi and crawled into Chad's arms.
Jason ran up to them. "Sorry, tried to find a place to park. Where's Gabriella?" He asked Troy.
"She's with her mom in New York for the week." Troy replied.
"What are we going to do?" Taylor asked. "Where will we live? The twins will be born in a few months."
"You could stay with us." Jason and Kelsi said at the same time. They looked at each other and smiled. They were so close and so in love that they anticipated what the other person was feeling and what they were about to say.
"Are you sure?" Chad asked.
"Yeah, we wouldn't want to be a burden." Taylor agreed.
"No burden at all. You're practically family." Kelsi replied.
"We will put you in one of the spare bedrooms and we can turn the third bedroom into a nursery." Jason added.
"We'll help you buy all new stuff for the baby." Kelsi stated.
"There's no need for that. We kept all of the stuff at Taylor's mom." Chad replied.

"Are you guys sure this is okay?" Taylor asked. Kelsi was making the bed in the spare bedroom.
"Positive." Kelsi answered. "And tomorrow, Jason will start moving what you do have over here."
"Thanks." Taylor said. She walked over and gave Kelsi a hug. "I just hope that the sound of two babies crying won't bother you."
Kelsi flashed her a smile. "Nope, just as long as my piano doesn't bother you."
"I love to listen to you play." Taylor replied. She walked over and crawled into bed.
Kelsi made her way to her bedroom, crawled into bed and pulled out her book, Twilight and started to read. About a half an hour later Jason came in. He stripped down to his boxers and crawled into bed.
"Sorry your day off wasn't that great." He apologized.
"Nonsense. It was perfect." Kelsi assured him.
"Really?" Jason asked.
"Really." She confirmed. She leaned forward and gave him a quick peck on his lips.
"Hey, hey, hey." He said. He smiled and leaned over, pressed his lips against her in a more passionate kiss. Kelsi reached over and turned off the lights, her book forgotten.

Thank you all for your reviews, I really, really do appreciate them. To answer a few questions. Yes, my friend is alright. They didn't get far before a friend of hers stopped it. She's fine and doing well. I do plan on updating more as HSM2 approaches and once it premieres my later chapters will have spoilers. An example would be, Kelsi looked into the photo album and came across photos of the summer after their junior year, the year that they all got jobs at Lava Springs. So expect some of that. With work and everything, I work at walmart, I haven't been able to update as often but expect more.
Lastly I want to let you all know that Chad and Taylor are fine and now that they have moved in with Jason and Kelsi you will see a little more of them then you have been This is good news for all you Chaylor Fans!
