Disclaimer: I do not own SBTB or any characters but the ones in my mind.
Let me fill you in on what has been going on in the lives of our friends…Zack and Kelly were busy chasing after Lukas and Peyton (the twins).
Lisa now owned her own boutique and design house; She and Kurt were now engaged (I know 10 years together and not married; but hey Kurt isn't the most traditional guy and Lisa has changed)
Slater and Carla were married in 2000 and have one son Karson Dean Slater.
Jessie was dating a fellow lawyer named Max Conners.
Screech was seeing Violet Bickerstaff again; they reconnected at a Teachers' Conference. Violet was teaching English at a private school in Pasadena.
(2003)
In the 5 years since Kelly had the twins life was hectic, Kelly had finished Medical School and Zack had finished Grad School that same year. Zack was still the manager at the bank and Kelly was working at UCLA as a pediatrician; which worked out well since they had a daycare there so Kelly could be there with them on her breaks.
It was now time for the kids' first day of school and Kelly was running around the house trying to get everything and everyone ready. After Kelly fed the kids breakfast and got them dressed it was Zack's turn to help them find their shoes.
"Okay, the kids are ready question is are you?" Asked Zack pulling Kelly into a hug.
"No, they're too young to go to school, maybe we should keep them home another year." Said Kelly.
"Kel, they have to go to school, as much as I would like to they have to." Said Zack.
"I know let's go. Peyton, Lukas let's go its time for school." Said Kelly.
"Coming Mommy." Said Lukas as he ran down the stairs ahead of his sister.
"Peyton, come on." Said Zack.
"Coming." Said Peyton as she came down the stairs.
"Here are your backpacks." Said Zack as he handed the bags to the kids.
"Thank you Daddy." Said Peyton as she walked out the door behind the quiet one Lukas.
"You're welcome." Said Zack.
"We are definitely going to have our hands full with that one." Said Zack.
"No I think Lukas will be our tough one, he's far too quiet for a five year old." Said Kelly as she shut the door and hugged Zack.
"They'll be fine, I'm sure he'll open up once he meets some other boys his age." Said Zack.
"Okay, I guess your right."
"You guess I'm right well that's not what you were saying last night." Said Zack as Kelly smacked him in the arm.
"Let's go." Said Kelly as she got in the car.
They arrived at the school and got out to bring the children into the big brick building.
"But Daddy we can go in ourselves." Said Peyton always the independent.
"No you can't Mommy and I will walk you in and take you both to your class room and then we have to meet the teacher and then we will leave, okay?" Said Zack.
"Fine." Said Peyton throwing her hands up as she walked ahead.
"Where did she learn that?" Said Zack astonished.
"Jessie did it to me the other day." Said Kelly.
"Remind me to kill Jessie later." Said Zack.
The family got to the classroom and just as they were about to go in the independent one suddenly ran and latched on to Zack's leg while Lukas was dragging Kelly by the arm into the room.
"Okay Luke, honey slow down your gonna pull Mommy's arm out of the socket." Said Kelly as Zack was trying to pry Peyton's arm from around his leg.
"Hi, I'm Mrs. Morgan and you are?" Said a woman in her mid 40's.
"Hi I'm Kelly Morris, this is my husband Zack and Lukas and Peyton." Said Kelly introducing her family. Zack had freed Peyton from his leg and she was now hiding behind him.
"Hello Mr. Morris." Said Mrs. Morgan.
"It's nice to meet you." Said Zack.
"Well kids why don't you go and play with some of the toys while I talk to your Mommy and Daddy, okay." Said Mrs. Morgan.
"It's okay Peyt, go on with Lukas, Mommy and I aren't going anywhere." Said Zack.
"She's attached to you at the hip isn't she?" Said Mrs. Morgan.
"Not usually, Lukas is usually our shy one. I don't know what's gotten into her all of a sudden." Said Kelly.
"Well in my experience the children adjust easier if the parents don't make a fuss about leaving."
"Okay, um our cells are on if there is any problem." Said Kelly not wanting to leave so soon.
"Come on Kel, the kids will be fine." Said Zack turning Kelly out the door.
The children's day went great Peyton calmed down after realizing Zack and Kelly had left with out her, but Lukas told her not to worry because they'd be back soon to get them. Zack and Kelly spent the day together, they had both taken the day off thinking they would be at the school a lot longer than they were. They spent most of the day doing errands and then they stopped for lunch, and visited with Slater and Carla at their house until it was time to get the kids.
"So how did Lukas take being there?" Said Slater.
"He was fine, he practically dragged Kel into the room, Peyton on the other hand I had to pry her from my leg."
"Peyton, I thought for sure she'd be dragging Kelly in." Said Slater.
"That's what I thought too, she was asking me not 5 minutes before if she could walk in by herself."
"And then she latched on?" Said Slater.
"Are you talking about Peyton, I told you she'd be fine." Said Kelly as she walked into the kitchen where Zack and Slater were talking.
"Yeah, speaking of which we have to get going to the school." Said Zack.
"I've got to get ready and go to work myself." Said Slater.
"Yeah, I hope they had a good day." Said Kelly.
"I'm sure they did." Said Zack.
Zack and Kelly said their good byes to Slater, Carla and Karson who had woken up just as they were leaving. And they drove to the school to pick up to the kids. Zack and Kelly walked up to the door and glanced in just enough to where they could see Lukas and Peyton, but they couldn't see them. Just as they were looking they were startled when another set of parents walked up and they noticed they were close to their parents age.
"I'm so sorry we didn't mean to startle you, do you have family in this class?" Asked the older woman.
"It's okay, um yeah our twins are in there." Said Kelly.
"You have twins you look around the age of our youngest daughter."
"Well how old is your daughter?"
"23."
"I was 23 when I gave birth."
"Oh, well which two are yours?" Asked the older woman.
"The two little blonds playing with each other." Said Kelly.
"Well our granddaughter is actually playing with your children."
"Oh, well maybe in a couple weeks we could get them together out side of school for a play date." Said Kelly.
"Well we'll talk to our daughter and let you know, I don't think I got your name."
"Oh, right I'm Kelly and this is my husband Zack."
"Well it's nice to meet you both I'm Martha and this is my husband Richard."
"It very nice to meet you both. I think we're gonna go see our kids now." Said Kelly.
Zack and Kelly walked into the room to see their kids who were excited to see their parents, Zack and Kelly were both relived to see that Peyton had eased up to the whole being at Kindergarten thing. The family left the school and went home to have a quiet night, the first hour of it was spent signing an endless pile of papers that were sent home with each child.
"Didn't I already sign this one?" Said Zack.
"Let me see, yeah for Lukas." Responded Kelly.
"You'd think a school would want to save trees and would just send home one set of papers for both children."
"Are you worried about trees or your hand?" Said Kelly laughing at him.
"Both."
At around 8 pm both children were in bed and Zack and Kelly decided to have adult time, which ended up with both of them asleep on the couch.
