SOOOOO SORRY I HAVEN'T UPDATED IN FOREVER! I haven't written in a while due to a mix of writers block and the holidays. So here is the long awaited chapter ;D !!!!
Disclaimer: I do not own Ned's Declassified School Survival Guide. So this one time I was like Hi! When there was no relply I realized I was talking to a cake, so I ate a piece and it was like OW! I was all -.- thankz for talking to me before you stupid cake!
Moze could feel her palms sweating, causing her to lose grip of her shovel. Thankfully they had reached it and managed to pull out the small box wrapped in a plastic covering.
To be quite honest, she had completely forgot what she had said on that tape ten years ago.
Moze watched Ned as he pulled out the capsule. Her heart began to pound faster within her chest.
As the little case opened there were only a few sentimental items that were placed inside.
For one, there were the three tapes that the friends had put in there, which seemed like such a long time ago.
Then there was one sentimental and secret item that was placed inside.
Moze had put in a picture of her, Ned, and Cookie. She loved that they were best friends... in fact even if they were boys, she could still talk to them about her girl problems... well not anymore of course.
Cookie had placed a little computer chip inside. He had claimed it to be the chip of some super computer that he was working on. It meant a lot to him to maybe one day perfect it.
Moze couldn't see what Ned had put in there because he had pulled it out so fast, she could feel the excess wind whip her hair around.
"Ned... what is that?"
"You don't want to know, seriously Moze, it isn't worth it."
Moze knew how to handle this situation.
"Ned! Look! It's Suzie Crabgrass!"
To Moze's surprise, Ned didn't even flinch.
"You want to know that badly don't you Moze... to try and scare me?"
"Well, yes."
"Hmm... ok here."
"That was easier than I thought."
Ned handed Moze a small little piece of lint.
"Lint, Ned? You are handing me Lint?!"
"Well you wanted to know..."
"I KNOW IT IS NOT LINT! THERE IS SOMETHING ELSE, I KNOW IT!"
Ned quickley handed her a locket. Although it wasn't just a locket, it was the locket... the one that she had given him ten years ago.
"Ned... why did you put this in here?"
"Read the back Moze."
Knowing she would regret doing so, she flipped the silver heart over in the midst of her palm.
Moze felt a flood of emotions, including pain and happiness, making her wonder how one person could feel practically every emotion all at once.
"Ned..." She was simply amazed at how well she was able to talk, well utter words at least. " When did you, I mean, What?!"
"That was why I left that night. I went to pick up the locket at Mrs. Crabgrass's jewlery store. Suzie just needed a ride home, that was it, I swear."
Moze practically fainted. The blood rushed down to her feet and she suddenly grew colder and colder.
"Ned." Was all she could actually say, and even then that took about half of her body strength.
"Moze, I have been in love with you and you just didn't seem to care. I still have no idea how I can do this, but I forgive you."
Moze couldn't move. She was paralyzed with rage. She was angry at herself, no correction, furious with herself! How could she have jumped to such irrational conclusions like that!
Moze realized she had given up something so good and amazing eight years ago. She just wanted to crawl into a hole at that moment.
"HOW COULD I HAVE DONE THAT TO YOU! I AM SUCH A JERK, I NEVER EVEN LISTENED TO YOU." Moze began rambling and shouting for about five minutes straight.
"Moze... Moze... MOZE! CALM DOWN! You're fine, and I'm fine. Just tell me this one thing and then you can ramble some more... if you feel the need to anyway."
"What?" Moze was huffing and puffing. You would swear she could be the replacement in the old fairy tale. You know, the one about the wolf blowing down the houses? Yeah, she was that insane at the moment.
"Do you still love me?"
"I think im going to just walk inside the house right now... I'm supposed to be anywhere but here." Cookie chimed in before she could answer.
Moze stared at Ned. Her breathing returned to normal and was now nervously eyeing everything in the backyard.
Once she was ready to confess, she looked Ned directly in the eyes.
"Yes."
That about did it. Moze fell backwards onto the soft grass, definetly one of the better places to faint, wouldn't you agree?
Ned scrambled to assist Moze in waking up.
He suddenly placed her down gently and ran to the side of the house. He switched on the garden hose tap and the cold wated came spewing out.
Ned ran to Moze and placed his thumb over the running water, causing it to spray feircly in Moze's direction.
Ned watched as Moze stood to her feet in mere minutes, drenched in ice cold water.
"NED BIGBY!" He could hear the anger in her voice. "GET OVER HERE THIS INSTANT!"
"I'm sorry! You fainted and then I thought..."
Ned was instantly cut off as Moze pulled him into a freezing cold embrace, yet it made him oddly feel about 50 degrees warmer than he should have felt.
Ned took ahold of Moze's face and just as he was about to lean in Moze stopped him.
"Ned, I am so sorry about these past eight years. I promise I will NEVER jump to conclusions ever again."
"I love you Jennifer Mosely."
"I love you Ned Bigby."
Ned cupped her cheeks and pulled her into the long awaited kiss.
EPILOGUE:
Moze managed to get up this morning. She had no idea how, but she did.
Sydney and Melissa came running in through the open bedroom door.
"Where's mommy guys?"
"Downstairs making breakfast she told us to get you up!" Melissa announced proudly.
"Ok, ok I'm coming."
She followed the little girls into the Cook's living room.
Ned was already sitting at the dining room table, talking to Cookie about some television show.
Lisa was stand at the stove, piling on everything that she had made onto six plates.
"Sydney and Melissa, sit down or you won't be getting breakfast!" Lisa warned sternly.
The girls scrambled to their seats and Lisa took Moze aside.
"Moze how are you feeling. You don't look so well."
"Good morning to you too..."
"No, seriously are you alright?"
"I think so. I hope so."
Moze was not feeling well at all and she knew why.
"What was it like having twins Lisa?"
"Painful, but worth it."
"I sure hope so, well I'm lucky I'm only having one."
Moze suddenly curled over in pain.
"Lees, it's time."
Moze curled over again in twice as much pain as the first one.
"NED!" Lisa called through the doorway.
"Mhmm?"
"Ready to be a dad?"
Moze could see Ned's face brighted ten thousand times more than she had ever seen it before.
After a lovely 19 hours of labour and another two hours of pushing, Moze was granted some much needed sleep, and Ned was able to hold his son for the first time ever.
Ned was holding on to his son and wouldn't let go for the longest time. He practically walked around the entire hospital for three straight hours talking to the baby.
Ned finally returned to Moze's room to find her reading a magazine.
"Hey! You're up!"
"Hey baby, and my other baby." A huge smile spread across her face as Ned handed him to his mother.
"What are we going to name him?" Ned asked eagerly.
"I don't know yet."
"Well I have an idea, what about Aiden or something?"
"Yeah, I like that. Aiden."
"Cool."
"I love you Ned Bigby."
"I love you Jennifer Bigby."
"That sounds so weird!"
"Yeah, well get used to it."
Ned slowly leaned into a kiss but Moze stopped him.
"Not in front of the children!" She hissed.
"He'll get over it."
Ned put his lips to hers and smiled. Just like he thought, it was totally worth the wait.
