Heyy! I'm having some really bad problems with my computer right now so I might update I as much but I'm updating the most I can. After a whole week of no school for me, I'm going to go back to school on Monday, but I promise, in December, I'm going to update ALOT because I have 2 WHOLE weeks of no school in December. In this chapter, Julia is 3, Clare's 20 and Eli's 21. I have a HUGE idea that will be introduce when Julia is around 10/11 years old. After this chapter, the rest of the chapters are going to be going by years, and I write about the most important parts. Sometimes, it's not by years, but by big events in their lives. Sorry if I'm confusing you...so here's Chapter 3 of The Rest Of Our Lives!
Julia's POV
I jumped down the stairs to find Adam sleeping on the couch. I went to Daddy's office and took out some markers. I rolled them back to Adam, and started coloring. I giggled as his face looked messed up in his sleep. I heard Mommy get up, and I put the markers back. I crawled up the stairs and got back into my baby bed Daddy insisted on getting. I threw the covers over myself and acted asleep. I couldn't take it so I watched from the stairs.
"Adam!" Mommy yelled. Daddy walked into the family room and realized why Mommy yelled. Adam woke up and looked at them confused. "What?" he asked. "Your face!" Mommy yelled. Daddy groaned, and I quietly giggled. "Clare, don't yell. Adam and I have a hangover." Daddy complained "Ok Eli. But what happened to you face?" Mommy asked. "What?" Adam repeated, and walked over to the bathroom.
"MY FACE! WHAT HAPPENED! I THINK IT'S MARKER…JULIA!" Adam yelled. I ran back to the bed, and acted asleep. I heard their footsteps as they came up the stairs. Daddy came into my room first, and sighed. "Adam, she's sleeping." Daddy whispered. "WHAT? BUT…WHAT!" Adam yelled. "Adam, she's sleeping." Mommy told him. I acted to wake up, and yelled, "Mommy? Daddy? Uncle Adam?" "Hey Jules. Sorry someone woke you up." Daddy answered, looking over at Adam. "What? Me? No!" Adam defended. "Yes!" Daddy argued. "Yes!" "No!" "Yes!" "No!" "Yes!" they argued over and over again. Mommy giggled, and she took me to the kitchen for breakfast.
2 Years Later, (Julia age 3; Clare age 20; Eli age 21) Eli's POV
I ate my muffin with Julia as I watched my pregnant wife stumble down the stairs. She moaned, as she was 8 months pregnant. "Hey Clare. Need any help?" I asked, as she sat down. "With what Eli?" she asked. "I don't know…" I replied, as I leaned in to kiss her. She kissed me back. "I'll make breakfast!" I offered, as I walked over to the kitchen. "Eli, you can't cook." Clare pointed out.
"So? I bet I can make a mean burrito!" I cheered, and Julia giggled. "Dad! Should I wear this to school, or this?" Julia asked me, showing a bunch of outfits. "Jules…don't you want to wear pink or lavender?" Clare asked. "Ew! That's too girly! Dad! This dark red dress with black leggings or this blue blouse, jeans?" Julia answered/asked. "I don't know." I replied.
"Wait! I know! This Dead Hand shirt, these dark skinny jeans and black converse!" Julia suggested, and Clare looked over at me, recognizing the fact the I wore that exact same outfit very very often. "That sounds great Jules. I forgot that I had eggs on the stove and I burned them. As I cleaned the stove, the bacon caught on fire, and Clare yelled.
Once I cleaned up, I looked over at the clock. 7:50. "Crap! Julia! I'll drive you to school!" I yelled, as I grabbed the keys. "Take care!" I screamed to Clare, and carried Julia into Morty Jr. We sat there in silence and then I said, "You know Julia. When you're 15 and a half, you can have Morty Jr. or maybe your brother can have him. Your choice." I suggested. "I'll keep him!" Julia answered. "Cool." I replied as I pulled into the parking lot.
I took Julia out and she grabbed her backpack. She ran into her classroom, and I kissed her bye. "I love you Daddy!" Julia cheered, as she took her seat. I smirked, and she smirked too. Clare loved the fact that Julia had my smirk. "Love you too." I whispered, and I felt a tear come down my face. My little girl is growing up. I walked out the door, and drove home.
First Day Of Pre-School, Julia's POV
I took my seat and stared at the boy sitting in front of me. He had dark brown hair, nice light skin, huge smirk on his face, and beautiful chocolaty eyes. "Hey there." He finally said, as I flinched to his voice. "H-hi." I squeaked. I nervously looked down at my Dead Hand T-shirt, feeling embarrassed. "So you like Dead Hand?" he asked. "Yeah, I love them. My dad and I listen to the same music. I'm Julia. Julia Goldsworthy." I answered. "Cool. I'm Hunter Meyers. So Julia, have a lot of gold?" Hunter replied. "Yeah I have a lot of it!" I teased.
Then, my teacher walked in. "Good morning class. I'm Ms. Badger. Ok, you guys are going to have study buddies that will help you during school. The person that you see is your study buddy. Any questions?" she started. No one answered, and my green eyes met Hunter's brown ones. "Hello study buddy." I replied, smirking. "That smirk. I like it." he replied. "Thanks, it's my daddy's famous smirk." I answered, remembering that we're in preschool and an average preschooler doesn't know what famous means.
"Cool. My dad's famous trait are his brown eyes." Hunter said, and I bolted up. "You know what famous means?" I asked. "Yeah! Well known. Recognizable. Popular. You know what those mean?" Hunter answered, I was plain surprised. "Yeah. I do. You're smart." I said. "And you're pretty." Hunter replied back.
At the end of the school day, Julia's POV
I walked to the Car Loop with my class and I was next to Hunter, and this really nice girl Payton Neale. Payton blabbed on and on about her day. Eventually, Hunter and I were the only kids left waiting for their parents. "So, emo girl…" Hunter started. "Yeah?" I asked. "What's your dad like?" Hunter asked. "He dresses in black a lot. His best friend is my godfather. I'm Christian but sometimes follow atheist ways because my dad's an atheist. He's famous for his signature smirk, and sarcastic ways. Oh and his green eyes. He fell in love with my mom in high school and she gave birth to me in her junior year and in his senior year. My mom's expecting a boy soon and I have…a twin brother." I explained to Hunter, getting off topic.
"Cool. Does he go to the school?" Hunter asked. "He's…dead. I don't know how. I don't know why. I just never had the guts to ask. I know it'll hurt my parents to talk about him and I'll eventually get hurt." I further explained. "I'm sorry." Hunter whispered. "Yeah." I whispered. "What's his name, if you don't mind." Hunter asked. "Nicholas Bryan Goldsworthy. But everyone called him Nick. He died at a month old." I answered. I felt a tear come down. Even though I never got to know Nick, I miss him. "Wow I'm sorry." Hunter said, and wiped off my tear.
"Hunter Meyers!" an old lady yelled, pointing to a black Volvo. "That's my car…bye." Hunter said, and walked away. I leaned onto the wall, and sighed. Where are my parents. "Dammit!" I loudly whispered. I looked at my digital watch, and looked at the numbers. "5…7 wait no 1…9." I said. Daddy taught me how to tell time, when the electricity went out and we got really bored. "Ok so since the two most left numbers are the minutes so 1 and 9. 5 is the hour. 5…19!" I figured out. Ms. Badger heard me, and walked towards me.
"Julia?" she asked. "Yes Ms. Badger." I answered. "Did you just tell time?" she asked. "Yup. It's 5:20 as of right now. When I checked it was 5:19. It's pretty convenient to tell time." I replied. "Wow! Nice job Julia. I'm going to have to test our class to see the people who should skip a grade or two…" Ms. Badger replied, and walked away.
Around 7, most of the cars were gone. I sighed, wishing Hunter was here. "Whatever it takes. I know I could make it through. If I hold out, I know I could make it through…" I hummed. A lady approached. "Ms. Goldsworthy." She said. "Yes?" I asked. "Your mother and father can't pick you up today. Your mother is having her baby. Your father can pick you up around 9, but no one would be here to stay with you.." she told me. "Oh. So what now?" I asked. "I guess I'll stay." She then said.
9:10 PM, At The Hospital, Clare's POV
"Mrs. Goldsworthy, say hi to your newborn baby boy." The doctor announced. I started to cry, seeing my baby nice and clean. "Zachary Adam Goldsworthy…" I cried. "Yeah, Zac." Eli replied. When the doctor left, Eli sat next to me and we kissed. "We have great miracles." Eli whispered. "Speaking of miracles…" I started. Eli turned to me. "Julia! We're supposed to pick her up 6 hours ago!" I yelled. "Oh god!" Eli yelled, as he went for the keys. "Damn! How could forget about our daughter?" Eli swore. "Our son!" I answered. "Love you." Eli said, kissed me, and walked out.
In Morty Jr., Eli's POV
I hopped into Morty Jr., and I drove to Julia's school. I ran to the Car Loop, which obviously was empty. I ran into the office, to find Julia doing math problems, and talking to a teacher. "Ah Mr. Goldsworthy. Nice for you to finally pick up your daughter." She said. "I'm sorry for the wait." I answered. I heard Julia mutter Yeah. A long wait. "Come on Jules. Let's go!" I then growled, picking up Julia and drove her home.
Anyone notice something about Julia? Yay! Little Zac was born! If you have ANY suggestions, leave it in a review or Private Message me. If you think this story is getting crapier, let me know. I WILL updaet later today, and hopefully about 5-8 times this week. (I love writing/updating) Thanks -NCMS
