Flashback: Rachel's POV
As we welcomed in our new neighbors Cammie came racing down the stairs, anxious to see who was at our door. When she saw the little boy Catherine and Jared Goode had introduced as Zach, she got the funniest look on her face. It was mixed with confusion of the new people in her home and mostly interested in the adorable boy staring right back at her. "Well look here Zach, it looks like you finally have a playmate!" Jared said with a smile on his face. "But she's a girl!" Zach exclaimed like it was the most horrible thing in the world. "Exactly! And the way to her heart is Barbie's." Jared said to his son with a wink. "So Jared, how about we go to the garage and look at my newest rappelling cord? It can withstand a weight of 3500 pounds!" Said my lovely husband. "Of course!"
"Cammie sweetie, why don't you go show Zach your room?" I asked. "No." And that's all there was to it. Just plain no. "Sweet heart! Why not?" "Can I watch Little Mermaid please?" She asked, her voice all sugar. "Only if you take Zach." I said with a glint in my eye, I know she can't pass up an opportunity to watch Little Mermaid, it was her very favorite movie. "Fiiine." She said with all the attitude a three year old can muster up. "Come on, Jack." She said, and Catherine and I laughed. "It's Zach." He said. And we laughed even harder. "They are going to be best friends by the end of the night." Catherine promised, and I laughed.
*45 minutes later*
"Zach, Cammie! It's time for pizza!" I shouted into the living room. The two children came racing into the dining room. "I win!" Cammie yelled as she touched the brand new granite counter top. "No you did not! You cheated! You started running when she said 'Zach' you were supposed to start when she said 'pizza'! Goodness. You cheater pants!" Zach said, very frustrated. "Don't you dare call me a cheater pants mister! You… you… you liar liar pants on fire!" Cammie said, equally frustrated. All the adults laughed at their escapades.
In the next weeks Matthew and Jared had built the kids a play house… in both of our back yards. They weren't the same either. Cammie's was, of course, a princess castle, but Zach wouldn't mind. He was her knight in shining armor. He would even say it. But when they were at our house, Cammie never needed rescuing she was and "independent girl and didn't need any knights trying to save her." and those were her exact words. At the Goode's house, the play set was a spy center. There were hidden nooks and crannies everywhere. I was forced to buy Cammie her very first cat suit so that they could dress up the part. I was a wreck after that. Knowing that one day, my baby girl would be wearing one of those for real. She would be stunning and sleek. And the best spy any one would ever know, I mean, she is mine and Matthew's offspring. But really, it was hard. I knew one day she would be in danger. Breaking bones, and breaking hearts. We had all- Matthew, Jared, Catherine, and I- decided that they would have to drink they tea the night before they went to their opposing schools. It's the rules. Children cannot know of the other school until their junior year, when they were informed of it. And they were not to tell anyone younger than them of it. Every year, you would see the junior girls, dazed that their possible future partner was just hours away, learning the same things, and learning that they existed too. So, if children should meet, their minds would have to be wiped.
It broke my heart knowing that they would not remember a thing about each other when they reached the seventh grade. But I just had a gut feeling that they would meet again, and I knew that they would come back to their same relationship. Catherine and I already started planning their wedding. We decided not to think of when that day came, it was years away, now they were only five years old, and they could enjoy their love, even though they didn't know it would happen.
*Cammie and Zach- Age 11* Still Rachel's POV
"Mom!" Cammie screamed as she walked into the house from school. "What honey, what's wrong?" "I hate Zach. I hate him, hate him, hate him." She said with tears streaming down her face. "Well now, calm down, get some juice and a cookie and come sit down on the couch and tell me what happened okay?" "Okay."
"So, Zach told me he loved me a few weeks ago." Cammie said sheepishly. I squealed. I would have to tell Catherine right when Cammie was finished with her story. "Mom!" "I'm sorry honey; go on with your story." I said, with a huge smile on my face. "Mom, I think I love him too." She said, looking down. I just nodded. "But today, he wouldn't even talk to me, and then everyone at school was talking about him and Marissa, apparently he asked her to be his girlfriend. He still wouldn't even talk to me when Catherine came to pick us up from school. So I pulled him aside when we pulled into his drive way. He said, he said, he couldn't talk to me anymore. Because, he needed new friends and he didn't wanna hang out with anyone that he hung out with when he was three. So then I said that I thought he yanno… loved me… and he said he meant like a cousin or something. A cousin, mom! Not even a sister! Mommy, what should I do?" she said, bawling by now. "Oh honey, boys can be jerks. Trust me; someday you'll meet someone who will love you for you, even if he's known you for a million years. But don't worry about Zach, right now he just wants to be cool, okay? He will understand he made a mistake soon enough okay? Just don't give up on him. I love you. Go do you home work now, dinner will be ready soon." "Okay." She said, much calmer now. She went up to her room as I dialed Catherine's number, which I knew by heart.
