A/N: TAYLOR PAST! WHOOOOP! LooL..

Thanks for the reviews ;]

Disclaimer: Don't own JAKK. :]

... ... ... ... ... ...

Taylor shut Denise's front door after waving goodbye to Gabriella. She didn't want Gabi to leave, but she insisted she had her shift at the hospital, so Taylor had no choice but to let her go. In a way, Taylor was happy to see that her best friend had fulfilled her dreams of becoming a doctor, and was in the profession she always wanted.

When they were in high school, Taylor and Gabi always used to map out their futures. It would always end with them becoming doctors in the same ER department, married to Troy and Chad, and have beautiful, loving children. Well, Gabriella was certainly living up to her expectations.

Taylor, on the other hand, met one of those criteria. The child part.

She smiled as she looked over at her 2 year old, who had lost interest in the cartoons ages ago and was now playing with her yellow bear, aptly named 'Bear', as it was one of the only words JJ could pronounce. She was a smart kid, obviously gotten from Taylor, but that smartness was hidden by JJ's desire to be naughty and cause attention, just like her father.

Taylor held back tears as she re-called JJ's dad. He didn't even realise that JJ was his; didn't realise she even existed. Part of her felt bad, but she knew she made the right decision 3 years ago, when she knew for certain she was pregnant.

FLASHBACK

Taylor took a deep breath as she sat on the side of her bathtub, in her en suite bathroom, adjacent to her bedroom. The bedroom door was locked, as to give Taylor all the privacy she needed. Gabriella, her best friend for 2 years, sat next to her, rubbing her back soothingly.

"It'll be fine, Tay, you'll see...How long's it been now?"

"Um, 6 minutes?" Taylor managed to croak out.

"Ohh, just enough time," Gabriella smiled, "Do you want me to go check?"

Taylor shook her head. "It's my mess, i'll do it,"

Taylor walked towards the sink on the other side of the bathroom. With shaking hands, she picked up the stick to which she already knew the answer to. Turning it around in her hands, she saw it. The solitary blue line in the small boxed window on the test. The line she'd been dreading, yet expecting. The blue line she'd been seeing all week.

Closing her eyes to fight back the tears she knew were going to fall, she collapsed in a heap on the floor, flinging her head in her hands. She was only 18, for God's sake, how was she going to bring up a child?

"Tay, you okay sweetie?"

Taylor looked up, and her eyes met Gabriella's concerned brown ones. "It's positive," She whispered, and Gabriella leapt up from her seat on the bathtub, and towards her sobbing best friend, wrapping her arms around her.

"Maybe...Maybe, it's just a fluke? Y'know, a one off?"

Taylor looked at her sceptically. "Yeah, Gabs, you can call four positive pregnancy tests a one off, can't you?"

Gabriella shook her head. "I'm sorry Tay,"

"Honey, why are you sorry? I should be the sorry one," Taylor reasoned, through her tears, "I got into this mess, and now have to reap the consequences,"

"Are you going to tell Chad?"

Taylor felt fresh tears burning through her eyelids as she heard Chad. Chad was her boyfriend of 18 months, and she had never felt this way about anyone ever before. She knew what she felt with Chad wasn't a normal adolescent crush, but something they could hang on to forever. Love, as cheesy as it sounds.

"He'll hate me!"

"No, he won't," Gabriella shook her head, "He'll be angry, most probably, but he'll stick by you Taylor!"

"Gabs, if I'm not ready for a child, do you really think Chad could cope with being a father?"

"It could be the making off him..." Gabriella replied.

"Or the breaking," Taylor sighed, "Having a kid isn't a clever option, for either of us. Chad wants to be a basketball player, pro-ball. A kid would snatch that opportunity away from him. It's unfair,"

"So what? You're gonna bring up Chad's child without him knowing? Won't he get suspicious?"

Taylor thought for a moment, before looking Gabriella dead in the eyes, one hand on her stomach. "Not if i'm not around,"

END OF FLASHBACK

"Tay?"

Taylor snapped her head towards the living room doors where Denise stood, in black tailored trousers and a crisp white shirt, black pumps on her feet.

"Hey Dee. You look nice, where you going?"

"Err, work, Tay?" She laughed, "Don't worry, I'll be back later,"

Taylor nodded, remembering the night before when Denise had told her that she worked part-time as a waitress in a coffee bar just a few roads away. "Okay, honey,"

"There's food in the fridge, kay? Bye! JJ?" JJ looked up at her Aunty, "Bye sweetie," Denise blew them both a kiss and walked out the front door.

"It's just you and me, Jordynn Jazmine," Taylor smiled, even though her daughter was too caught up in her dollies to notice. Taylor walked into the kitchen, placing her now cold mug of coffee in the sink as she did so. She noticed her black purse on the worktop, and pulled it open, pulling out her silver cell phone.

She remembered having to change her number, after sending Chad the weak text message, as she was hounded by calls and texts by the gang. She got so upset about the voicemails where Chad would sob down the phone, begging her to come back, that she changed her number, only giving the new one to her family, Chad's mom, and Gabriella. She still hated the fact that the gang, minus Gabriella, had received one short text message from her in three years.

FLASHBACK

Taylor sighed as she sat down on her bed which she would be sleeping in now for some time. She rubbed her 3 month old bump, and surveyed the room which she would now be calling her bedroom.

She was in California, her Aunt Zaizee's house to be exact, after moving away from Albuquerque on a split second decision. After telling her family she was pregnant, her mom agreed with her that Albuquerque wasn't the best place for her right now, and contacted her sister Zaizee, who of course agreed to let her niece stay and bring up her child there. After telling Kendra Danforth that she would be a grandma, and the Aunty talk to Chad's sister Denise, she swore them all, including her brother Marcus, and sister Aleesha, to secrecy. She promised to tell Chad before the child reached their third birthday.

Unpacking her stuff, she came across her cell phone, which had 13 missed calls from Chad. She recalled that they had a date that day, to the movies, but her being half-way across America, pregnant with his baby, meant that she had to miss it, and hadn't cancelled. Composing a text message, she wrote:

Chad,

If you got this message, it means i've gone. I'm sorry. No-one knew about this, except my family, so tell the gang i'm sorry. I never meant to hurt you. Don't try and find me. I'm not coming back.

Love you forever and always,

Taylor x

Tears blurred her vision as she pressed the send button. Chad would be distraught when he got it, so would the rest of the gang. For once, Taylor was glad Gabi was a good actress, as she was one of the select people who knew where she was, and why she was there.

Taylor wrapped both her hands around her slowly forming bump. "Just me and you now, little one,"

END OF FLASHBACK

Taylor heard a loud crash in the front room, which sounded like glass breaking. Less than a minute later, JJ ran into the room, looking cheeky.

"Uh-oh," JJ stated, giggling slightly.

Taylor raised an eyebrow. "Jordynn-Jazmine Gabriella Danforth, what did you do?"

JJ shook her crazy mass of curls before running back into the living room. Taylor sighed and put down her cell phone, following the accident prone toddler. Once in there, she noticed JJ standing next to a heap of broken glass on the floor, and what looked like the remainder of a picture frame. Taylor shook her head, and bent down to pick up the remnants of glass before JJ could step on them.

"Aunty Denise is not going to be very happy," Taylor replied, half-sternly, as her daughter stared back at her with an innocent look on her face.

"Uh-oh," She repeated again, her cheeky smile gracing her young face.

Taylor couldn't help but smile. "Yes. Uh-oh," She picked up the picture that had fallen and turned it around, instantly wishing she hadn't. It was a recent family photo, by the looks of Denise's weave, which she told Taylor last night had only been in a few months. Taylor took in Kendra Danforth, and how she had changed over the three years, along with Marcus Danforth, Chad's dad. Denise looked gorgeous, but Taylor knew that, after spending a night with her already. Then Taylor's eyes flitted over the youngest member of the Danforth family. Chadwick Michael Danforth.

He hadn't changed at all. His skin was still flawless, and the caramel complexion made Taylor want to drool. His hair was still the same, yet in this picture, he had slicked his curls back into a slight ponytail, which surprisingly made him look really sexy, as it meant you could see his face more. What really drew Taylor to Chad's face was the huge grin he had on his face, yet his eyes were telling a different story. They were lifeless, dull even.

"Gabi was right," She whispered.

"Ma?" Taylor heard a soft, high-pitched voice, and the sensation of someone touching her cheek. She turned, and saw JJ, which instantly brought a smile to her face.

"Hello gorgeous," She cooed. Staring down at the picture once more, she held it up so JJ could see it, pin-pointing Chad. "That, JJ, is daddy,"

JJ crinkled her nose, a look of complete and utter confusion etched across her face. She yawned loudly, as Taylor sighed and kissed the top of her forehead.

"You tired, sweetie?" Taylor asked, as the toddler rubbed her eyes. Taylor picked her, and rested her on her hip. "I think it's time someone had a nap,"

JJ made no objections as Taylor placed the picture on the coffee table, and made her way towards the stairs. She walked up slowly, and soon reached the room Denise had given to them for their stay. Being careful to mid her head, Taylor laid down JJ in the small white carry cot, wrapping the soft yellow blankets around her. Placing the yellow bear, JJ's most treasured possession, down with her, Taylor watched as her daughter fell asleep. Soon, the only sound in the room was the child's incessant soft breathing. Smiling softly, Taylor walked out of the room, and back down stairs. Looking over the picture once again, she remembered the promise she had made to Chad's and her families, that Chad Danforth would know about Jordynn Jazmine Danforth by her 3rd birthday.

Well, on a better note, that gave her almost 6 months then. By the time JJ turned 3 on the 22nd March, she would be expecting presents from mommy.....and daddy.
