So my readers, here is chapter four. So thank you to whoever made name suggestions. I am going to look through them and see what ones I can pull out while I write this. So drum roll please*insert drum roll here* CHAPTER 4!
It had been about 3 weeks since Mitchie and Shane had found out they were having twins. Both of them had there moments that they had that "we can't do this" thought and were worried but they both knew it would go away once the babies came. They had an appointment booked for next week and Shane's sister, Caylee was coming up for a visit. Shane had just got home from the recording studio (Nate had headed over to Caitlyn's and Jason had gone to Ella's) and saw Mitchie lying on the couch reading "Breaking Dawn".
"You almost finished?" Shane asked. Mitchie had started the book about 3 days ago and was about 30 pages from finishing.
"Yeah. I don't know how I lived without this series" Mitchie said closing the book for a minute.
"So next week, do you think we should find out the genders?" Mitchie asked.
"Do you think we should?" Shane asked as he came over and sat on the couch with Mitchie.
"Well I want to but if you want to keep it a surprise that's fine with me" Mitchie said.
"Well it would be nice, to you know be able to pick out names. It would make it a lot easier" Shane said.
"Well earlier I came up with some names" Mitchie said proudly.
"What names?" Shane asked.
"Well for girls I got: Sydney, Isabella, Alana, Alexis, Leah, Katheryne and Amber. For boys: Jayden, Noah, Skyler, Adam, Ryan and Michael" Mitchie said.
"Well out of the girls I like Sydney Isabella and Alexis, and for the boys I like Noah Jayden and Ryan" Shane said.
"So which ones should we use?. We need at least two boy names and two girl names." Mitchie asked. She had taken the liberty of picking out both boy and girl names just in case there was one of each or they had twin boys or girls.
"Well how about when Caylee gets here we can get her input on the names" Shane said. Mitchie nodded and Shane went into the kitchen to make something to eat. He finally decided on making some Nacho's and Cheese. After grating the cheese he began searching for the Nacho chips. Just as he was about to look in the last possible cupboard they could be in the phone began to ring. Shane reached for the cordless phone and answered it.
"Hello?" Shane answered.
"Hey little bro, what you up to?" Caylee asked on the other line.
"Just making a snack, how about you?" Shane asked.
"Driving, I'm about an hour or so away from you guys now, let me tell you driving all day, not fun" Caylee reported, Shane chuckled.
"So I'll be there in about an hour, longer if I find a clothing store on the way" Caylee said.
"I swear you can't go a day without shopping" Shane said.
"I could so" Caylee said matter of factly.
"I'd like to see you try" Shane challenged.
"Whatever, I know I could do it. I'll see you in an hour then" Caylee said as she hung up. Shane put the phone back on the receiver and went to go look for the chips. But someone had already cooked the nachos and cheese. He went into the living room and saw Mitchie with the plate.
"What? You were on the phone" Mitchie said defensively. Shane just laughed and joined her on the couch.
About 2 hours had passed since Caylee had called and she hadn't shown up yet. Shane knew that his sister was a pretty good at arriving when she said but this was very un-usual. He called her cell phone about 3 times and each time there was no answer. After his 3rd attempt at calling the phone rang. Shane immediately picked it up.
"Hello" Shane answered.
"Is this Shane Grey?" the person on the other line asked. He didn't know what it was, wither it be the persons tone or a gut feeling, but he had a feeling something wasn't right.
"Speaking" Shane answered.
"This is Leila Sheppard from Cedars Cenai Medical centre, your sister Caylee has just been brought in, she was in a car accident just outside of town" the nurse said calmly.
"Is she alright?" Shane asked worriedly.
"She is in critical condition and is going to be brought into surgery in a few minutes" Leila answered.
"I'll be right there" Shane said as he quickly hung up.
"Shane what's wrong?" Mitchie asked attempting to slow Shane down.
"Caylee was in a car accident" Shane said. Mitchie's eyes widened
"They're bringing her in for surgery in a few minutes"
"Well what are we still doing here?" Mitchie asked putting on her favourite pair of converse. Mitchie and Caylee had a great relationship. Along with her friends Mitchie Considered Caylee the sister she never had. It only took a matter of minutes before Shane and Mitchie were in the car and heading to the hospital. The drive to the hospital could be summed up in one word: Silent. Both Shane and Mitchie were too busy worrying about Caylee to really say much. It took a matter of 10 minutes and they were getting out of the car and headed for the reception desk.
"Hi, im here for Caylee Gray" Shane said,
" She was just brought into surgery. If you'd like to wait the Operating room waiting area is just down the hall to the left" the receptionist told them. Shane took Mitchie's hand and they went to the waiting room. They took the closest free seats and sat down, Mitchie put her head on Shane's shoulder and slowly fell asleep. After what only seemed like a little while Mitchie was woken up by Shane lightly shaking her shoulder.
"Hey, Nate and Jason just got here" Shane said. Mitchie's eyes adjusted to the light and saw Nate and Jason sitting in the seats beside her, Alex was sitting next to Nate holding his hand.
"How long was I asleep?" Mitchie asked groggily.
"About half an hour" Shane answered as Mitchie rubbed her eyes and sat up. The group talked amongst themselves until a doctor came out.
"Family of Caylee Gray?" the doctor called. The group quickly got out of their seats and walked over.
"How is she?" Shane asked. The doctor had a solemn look on his face.
"I'm sorry, she didn't make it, her injuries were too severe" the doctor said.
Shane stood there, not believing the words that had just come out of the doctor's mouth.
His sister, his best friend, was gone.
By now Jason and Nate were sitting down in there seats, both having tears flowing from their eyes. Shane however stayed frozen in place for several minutes until he too had tears streaming down his eyes, Mitchie could only try and comfort Shane. She couldn't even tell how much pain Shane was in but she knew one thing for sure, this was not going to be an easy healing.
Caylee's funeral was held a week later. Quite a few people came to pay their last respects, but none of that mattered to Shane, all he wanted was his sister back. But he knew that was never going to happen. He sat there at Caylee's funeral looking at her casket not really taking his eyes off it until the pastor called his name to give a speech about her. Shane got up and tried to not look at the casket before him, it made it too real for his liking. He got up to the front and pulled out the piece of paper.
"Caylee was possibly the best sister me and my brothers could ask for. She knew how to make us laugh so hard it hurt, she never tired of playing Halo at 2 in the morning with her brothers and most of all, she was just all around fun. When I think of Caylee the first memory that comes to mind was back in the summer before I started school. We were playing in our backyard pretending to be power rangers and we just got new watches. We pretended that's how zordon got ahold of us. So "Zordon" called and said our next door neighbour's dog, Nikita, was terrorizing the neighbourhood. We snuck into our neighbour's yard and started running after Nikita to make her stop terrorizing the neighbourhood. Needless to say we got into trouble and our mom sent us to our rooms. But we still talked to each other through the vents in our rooms the whole time" Shane said, a few people laughed a little.(mine and my brothers vents connected and that's what we used to do)
"Another thing about Caylee was she was definitely up for an adventure anytime. My parents took us camping and right away she asked if we could go hiking. Even though every one of us said no, including our parents, we still went because Caylee started crying." Shane's parents had died a few years back, they were flying to L.A when the plane lost control and crashed.
"In many ways Caylee was my best friend. She was someone that I could tell anything to and never be judged for what I had done or told her. She saw me at my best and worst and still put up with me, even though I can even figure out why. But I'll forever be grateful for all the memories, good and bad, that I had with her. Your brother's love you Caylee. Never forget it" Shane finished, tears now flowing freely as he took his seat next to Mitchie. After about half an hour longer everyone was gathered in the cemetery as Caylee's casket was lowered into the ground. Shane couldn't bear to look. Nate and Jason stood there, trying to keep the tears from falling. The casket was lowered and the hole was covered. In front of it lied a headstone
Caylee Victoria Gray
1988-2009
In our hearts, now and forever more
Everyone slowly left the cemetery and Shane couldn't take his eyes off the grave. It was still surreal to him. It wasn't until then that it had truly sunk in, his sister was gone, and unfortunately, she was never coming back.
So there is chapter 4. The next chapter will be when Shane and Mitchie find out what they are having. And if you would like vote on the names.
For girls: Sydney, Isabella, Alana, Alexis, Leah, Katheryne and Amber
For Boys: Jayden, Noah, Skyler, Adam, Ryan and Michael
Pick one of each if you vote, because I haven't really decided if they will have 2 boys, two girls or one of each, so you could vote on that too
