Ok, sorry I couldn't update sooner. Homework's getting to me again, but I'll figuere it out. Thanks Degrassistar and JJ288! Now here's Chapter 17 of The Rest Of Our Lives!

Zac's POV

"Do you really want to give Isabella up for adoption?" Dad asked me. "I don't know, Dad. Can a 14 year old boy really take care of a 2 month old baby girl without her Mom?" I asked. "It's possible." Dad answered. I sighed, and looked over at Isabella. "I don't want Isabella's life to be hell, Dad. I think if she has parents that can take of her." I explain. Tears come down my face, and my eyes are seriously locked on Isabella. Dad left, and I spent all day, day-dreaming in my room.

I closed my eyes, and fell asleep. I was in my room, and I was on my bed, exactly how my room looked like when I was awake. Then, my door opens to Jordan, wearing the same outfit she wore when she died. "Zac, what's up?" Jordan asked. "Well, since you died, I don't know if I can take care of Bella." I start. "Well, what do you think is right?" Jordan replied. "I want to keep her, but in the same time I want to give her up." I explain once again. "Zac, you'll know what to do." Jordan says, and she vanishes.

"Bella, Daddy's gonna have to do some hard thinking." I whisper, and kiss her forehead.

Julia's POV

"Allison Jasmine O'Conner!" I yell, Allison flinching. "I'm sorry but I think it's right." Allison mutters back. I stare down at my best friend, on her finger, was an engagement ring. "How can you get married in high school? Your just a junior!" I reply. "Actually, I'm 21 since I was moved back a few years ago, remember?" Allison remarks. It's weird thinking my best friend is in her twenties, while I'm only 16. "Julia, I'm going to get a GED and live on my life." Allison explains.

"Ok, I guess it's kinda my fault we were moved back um, 5 grades." I answer. "You see? Tyson and me is 21, we can marry, drop out, and live on with our lives. But you're going to stay in school." Allison replies. She walks up to the office, and comes back out with a bunch of papers. She smiles, and explains that on Saturday, she's taking the GED test with Tyson. Her parents her perfectly fine with it, to get their daughter out of the house.

On Monday the next week, Hunter left early for school, and when I walked up to his locker, he had a sad face on. "What's wrong Meyers?" I asked. "Well, my family's going to have a family reunion, and I just got a letter from them, and they want me to come. I'm so not going." Hunter mumbled. "Come on! Go! I'll come with you." I offer. "Ok, but only so they know that I'm not some kind of broken mess changing home's every other month." Hunter mutters, and we walk into English.

Zac's POV

"Mr. Goldsworthy, this is Madison and Richard Burdette. They would like to adopt your daughter." The social worker introduced. "Hi, Zachary Goldsworthy." I greet, and shake their hands. They're probably in their early twenties, and look like really friendly people. Mom and Dad introduce themselves, and we start talking. "So, how did Isabella lose her mother?" Madison asked. "Um, well, she got shot in the chest, three times, at a school dance, and died." I answered.

"Oh, well I'm sorry to hear that." Richard managed. "Trust me, Isabella is an angel." I choke. I'm 14, and I'm trying to look for a better future for my daughter. "I hope so." Madison replies. After some talking, they sign some papers, and I hesitantly sign them as well. By Friday, Isabella will not be in my custody, but in the Burdette's. I stumbled into my room, after they left, and cried holding Isabella.

The next day, I can't leave Isabella, and I grudgingly go to school. "So, how's the adoption going?" Alex asks, as I open my locker. "I lose Isabella in 3 days…" I choke. The next day, it's clear I should stay home with Isabella. I don't want to lose another loved one in my life. I sat on the couch, and propped Isabella on top of my belly. She giggled as I talked, which caused vibrations.

On Friday, Friday is going to be pure hell. Julia kissed me bye, and Hunter hugged me, and they said their last byes to Bella. The beautiful January morning breeze kicked in, and I dressed Isabella for one last time. The Burdettes live all the way in Michigan, in the US.

The door knocked, Mom answered it, and it was Madison, Richard and the social worker. I cried, holding Isabella. I rocked her, and whispered, "Don't worry Bella. Your life is going to be better. No matter what…I'll always love you…" I cried. I burst crying even more, and kissed her. I hugged her, and put her in her baby carrier. I sighed, and handed the carrier to Madison. She smiled, and I looked over at Isabella. The four people left, I cried in Mom and Dad's clutches, crying for Jordan and Isabella.

Julia's POV

After a 5 hour car ride, we finally make it to Ottawa. We park in a hotel, and walk over towards the reunion. Allison and Tyson came along also. "Here's your family." I whisper, as we open the door. One thing I notice immediately is most people there have blonde hair, as Hunter has a dark shade of brown.

"Julia, this is my grandparents." Hunter introduced, pointing to two elder people, smiling and hugging him. The reunion was ok, and Hunter got along with his family. The car ride home was, and I was thinking about our future. Could Hunter and I last long?

Honestly, last Julia's POV in this chapter, I'm of ideas for Julia. If you have ANY ideas, leave it in a Private Message or review, but if you review, don't give much details. Review and enjoy!
