Hi guys! I'm soo sorry I haven't updated in about a week! I'm having alot of things to do, and when I do have free time, I'm having technical difficulties. On top of that, I have a new baby sister, that won't ever shut up with the crying. Thanks to JJ288 for reviewing! In the end of this chapter, it's more of a What If, DON'T SKIP TO THE END OF THE CHAPTER! Enough of that, here's Chapter 25!
Ethan's POV
"Wait! What the hell do you mean niece?" I ask, fixing myself. "Isabella here, is my daughter. You know, the one I gave away for adoption after I attempted suicide 12 years ago!" Zac answered, helping his daughter up. "I didn't know!" I yell, following them. "Still, you were seriously going to have sex with a 12 year old?" Zac replies, making a point.
"Well…" I mumble. Zac did have a point. "I'm so sorry daddy!" Isabella exclaims, jumping up. Zac sighs, and is obviously thinking about this awkward situation. "Um…just don't do it again." Zac sighs. After about a minute of silence, we here Alana crying. "I'm going to check on her." Zac replies, and he runs out the door.
"So…Uncle Ethan…" Isabella whispers. "Is it weird to say that I think my uncle's extremely sexy?" Isabella asks. "Yes, and is it weird to say I almost had sex with my niece?" I ask, laughing. "Very!" Isabella giggles, and we both start laughing. "You know, we could always be like best friends." Isabella points out. "Best friends." I smirk, and we leave my room.
Eli's POV
"Crap…not again." I mutter, after having my blood taken out for testing. Once again, I coughed out blood, which scared Alana, and Zac drove me to the hospital. "Dad, you've best cancer twice, I bet you can do it a third." Zac tries to reason. "He looks like a potential Nicholas…Nick. How would life be if he was here?" I thought, smirking at my son.
"Zachary Adam Goldsworthy, you know it's hard to beat cancer, and this is lung cancer." I answer. "Thank god not brain cancer." Zac mutters, thanking a god I don't believe in, but he does. It's still a weird situation, but hey, that's the Goldsworthy's. I remember the promise I made when nick died.
I walked up to the grave after the ceremony, and put a bouquet there. My dead baby. I cried, as Eli approached with Julia. "Clare…baby are you going to be ok?" Eli asked. I looked at him and cried. "I miss him! I love him!" I started sobbing in Eli's shoulders. Eli looked up at the sky and said, "Hey there…it's me…Eli. I know that I didn't believe in you…but Clare taught me. I'll change to Christianity. I believe in you, and tell Jesus that his plan doesn't suck. Thanks for bringing Clare into my life, thank you. Please, let our love last for a lifetime" Eli actually prayed to God! He also said he's going to convert. I smiled and Eli looked over at me.
I didn't really stick to that promise, but I do celebrate Christmas, Easter and other stuff revolving around god, for the sake of our family of course. Zac smiled, hearing his full name, that is said rarely, and sat down next to me. "DAMN! I'm old!" I yell, causing an explosion of laughter from Zac. "D-Dad, 46 is not that old. Most of my friend's parents are only in their late 40's or early 50's, not that old." Zac reasons.
"Well, you are a Goldsworthy, which has a quirk as having weird things about themselves. I mean, look at your sister. She married the first freaking guy she dated and met as a friend, her husband became mental at 11, but is just about over it, and the girl version of me. And your little brother-" I teased, but was stopped. "Got caught almost having sex with his niece." Zac confesses. I jump up, gazing at Zac. "Sex? With Isabella?" I ask.
Zac nods, and waits for my answer. "And look at your little brother. Almost had sex with his niece, and his going to get his little ass whooped when I get home." I joke. Zac bursts laughing again, but is interrupted by a worried Clare running up to us. "Oh my god! Eli! How come I found about this right now?" Clare worriedly asks, almost crying. I hug her, and she takes out her phone. On the screen it's from Ethan.
ETHAN: Hey Mom, it me…your favorite kid, texting you from home. Dad's in the hospital, I think he lost a lot of blood and died, oh well. I never really did get to say bye…but yeah Zac's at the hospital with him.
ME: Died?
ETHAN: idk
"Mom…did you leave Alana home with Ethan?" Zac asks, worried. "No…with Bella. I don't trust him with a kid." Clare answers, gaining laughter from Zac. "Anyways…what's wrong?" Clare asks. "I um…might be diagnosed with cancer again…." I mumble. "C-cancer? A-again?" Clare asks, bursting into tears. I nod, a tear coming down. "Daddy…I don't wanna lose you." Zac cries, and I start to cry from hearing him calling me daddy. "I love all of you guys. Clare, Zac, Alana, Ethan, Isabella, Nicholas, and Julia…Julia!" I scream, remembering again about my oldest kid.
"Oh gosh! I forgot to call her!" Zac answers. "Well, well lovely family. Lucky I figured out that you all were here." We hear a familiar voice sarcastically reply. We turn, to see Julia standing by the door, holding a bouquet of flowers. "Jules…I'm so sorry honey!" Clare runs over to Julia. "It's ok Mom, I brought the whole family…and Adam." Julia answers.
Adam comes through the door. Adam, my best friend. "Hey guys!" Adam exclaims, and Fiona comes in, with Lilli. Behind them, it's Ethan, Isabella, (pushing a stroller with Alana in it.) Hunter holding Devon, Nicholas, and Stephanie.
"Well what a reunion!" Ethan cheers. We all laugh, and the doctor comes. "Mr. Goldsworthy?" The doctor asks. "Yes?" Ethan, Zac and me answer, to cause a laughter flood the room. "Haha, I mean the father of the three Goldsworthy men." The doctor explains. "Yes?" I ask. "I'm sorry, you've been diagnosed with cancer again. Lung cancer. And I hate to admit it, but it'll be a miracle if you can surive for a third time." The doctor reveals.
"A miracle…that'll be a…miracle to get a miracle." Clare whispers. From laughter, it turns to sadness. From jokes, to cries. "What the hell happened?" I asked, unaffected by the sadness of the news. "Eli…" Clare whispered, but couldn't finish.
No POV
The alarm clock rang, it and it was 2030. Julia walked downstairs, smiling at the text she got from her boyfriend. Nick ran past her, and hogged up the bathroom. "Nick! Hurry up! Chrisitan's picking me up in 5 freaking minutes!" Julia yelled at her twin brother, banging on the bathroom door. "No can do Julia!" Nick teased. Inside, he was standing around, playing an app on his phone, purposefully making Julia late.
"NICHOLAS!" Julia yelled, banging the door even harder. "JULIA!" Nick teases, mocking her. "Damn, 2 minutes." Julia mutters looking down at her phone. Zac walked into the hallway, laughing at his sister being tormented. "Don't worry Steph, I'll be there." Zac assures his fiancé, Stephanie.
"Julia, you can use my bathroom." Zac offers, smirking at the prank he left in there. "Thank you!" Julia sighs. Julia runs over to Zac's bathroom, and screams as lemonade splashes all over her. "ZACHARY! NICHOLAS! YOU TWO DEVIL BROTHERS!" Julia yells, and cleans herself the fastest she could. She runs over to the door, just as Christian is there waiting. "Hey, we're going to The Dot, my lady." Christian greets, and guides Julia to his BMW. They walked in to The Dot, and Julia noticed Hunter Meyers, that mental kid that became an orphan when they were 11.
Julia tried being friends with him, but it didn't work out. Nicholas introduced her to Christian, and they've loved each other ever since. Even though Julia looked like Eli, she isn't like him at all. Julia's head cheerleader, as both her brothers were football players. Julia's one of the most popular girls at school, and has Allison O'Conner and Kimberly Stayers as her lap dogs.
"Babe, don't pay attention. Meyers is coming up to us." Christian whispers into Julia's ear. "Hi guys. Do you want to help save the music department?" Hunter asks, doubting that they'll say yes. Julia can sing beautifully, and she sings, but doesn't give a damn about the music department. "Go away mental kid." Julia mutters, motioning for Hunter to leave.
On the other hand, Zac had a pretty rough life. Being on the football team didn't help, as he had his older siblings' shoes to step into. Being the youngest of the Goldsworthy's, Zac was given the least amount of freedom. He got his ex-girlfriend pregnant in middle school, though they were banned from ever talking to her. That same year, Jordan and her daughter Isabella moved away, and never had contact with Zac.
Many people see Zac as the weak link in the Goldsworthy's and he is rarely talked to, except from his best friends, Sylvia Tackett and Stephanie Fitzgerald. Yes, both girls. Alex, one of the hottest guys in his grade, bullies Zac, but Zac never seems to do anything about it.
On the last page, Eli died of cancer a week after Zac was born. It was hard for Clare to cope with being a single mother, and Fiona and Adam helped out extremely. Now, Jake moved in with the Goldsworthy's, and treat the kids like their own. Why did all this happen? Because, Nicholas never died.
Julia woke up, terrified from her dream. At the same time, Zac and Ethan had different but very similar dreams. Julia screamed, and was calmed down by Hunter. "What's wrong Jules?" Hunter asks, staring at his wife's green eyes. "What if Nick never died?" Julia asked, shocked.
