Hey. It's me again. Here's the next chapter. Read and review please. Hope you like it.

Sunday passed in a blur. They packed all of there stuff up and headed back home around 7:30. They had already started planning for the wedding. Beth had had the idea to have it the Sunday after graduation. They graduated on a Friday. It would mean that everyone was there already and they could celebrate. Tyler had agreed not to have a huge MTV awards wedding. They were going to have it at Beth's house. They were going to get married on the property out back in a gazebo bought for the occasion. It would have white shear curtains and roses pinning them back. The wedding itself would take place far into the area. While that was going on, workers would be setting up the reception by the house. Tyler wasn't as involved as he wanted to be. He felt like he was pushing it off on her, but Beth didn't mind. The girls could handle it. As he loaded the bags in the back of the hummer, they all came out. The girls had all bonded with Beth's mom. (I declare her… Megan.)

"I'll call you as soon as I talk to the florist. They said that they should be able to make a ring for the top of the platform," Megan said.

"Alright, and we'll let you know as soon as the invitations come in. I really am not looking forward to filling out 150 of those suckers," said Kate.

Caleb called from the hood "Alright, we have got to go. I don't know about you guys, but I don't wanna be late to Mr. Weber's class because I was tired and slept in."

"Fine, don't get your panties in a twist," Sarah said. They all gave Beth's mom a hug while Tyler shook hands with Beth awkwardly standing beside them.

"You take care of my little girl," he said while eyeing him.

"Daddy, its fine. We're going back to school, not Vegas. You'll see us again," Beth interjected, slightly embarrassed. He released Tyler's hand and pulled her in for a hug. "I can't help it. I love you too much. I worry about you."

"Don't, please. I'll be fine," she said as she hugged him back. "I do want you to watch Melody. Call when she has her puppies: I promised I'd talk to her as soon as I knew." Her dad chuckled. "Yeah, you have to get rid of them though. I don't know how many more we can take care of," he said. Her eyes got big and she sadly looked up at him through her lashes. "Can't they stay a little bit," she pouted.

"That's cheating," he said in a sigh. She smiled: that was quicker than she had thought. "Ok, I gotta go now," she said. He reluctantly let her go. She walked over to her mom. "Watch him please. Don't let him change his mind and come drag me home please," she asked.

"I got it. He won't."

"Also, you should let Matt start school next year. He'd like it."

"I'm trying to get your father to let him go. Don't worry," she said as she hugged Beth close. "I love you sweet heart. Be sure to call us after the doctor."

"I will mom, but I gotta go now." She walked to the hummer and climbed in back after saying good bye to her siblings and Shane. They waved until the hummer disappeared, and then went inside. Back in the car, with Reid driving, Beth climbed over the back seat and started throwing things back where she had been, a couple of which had smacked Tyler in the head. "Ummm… ow. What are you doing?"

"I want to lay down. I didn't sleep that good last night," she said as she kept tossing stuff. Kate giggled from the front seat beside Stephani. "I wonder as this trip will be as interesting as on the way here."

"Haha," said Reid but he was smirking. When she was finished throwing all the stuff, she pushed the seat forward, Tyler already squatting in front of it. She then folded it down and pulled a pillow under her head as Tyler climbed in back with her. She propped her feet up on the back of the seat. "Much more comfortable." He just laughed and leaned against the side. She soon dozed off. She slept through the whole ride, even though everyone was laughing and joking loudly. Tyler gently sat her up when they got there.

"Beth, we're back. We gotta go in now." She slowly opened her eyes. He had their two small bags on the floor beside him. Everyone else was already headed in. She was still rubbing sleep from her eyes when he scooped her up. Her eyes instantly shot open. The bags were gone and the back was closed. "Tyler, I could've walked you know."

"But you would have fallen and you would have ended up like this anyway, so I just saved you the injury. You're welcome," he said. She sighed. He carried her to the elevator and once inside, she eased out of his arms. She leaned up against his chest. "I'm so tired," she said.

"Why didn't you sleep good last night?"

"Bad dream," she said and it was partly true, but she wasn't about to tell him that. She had been having a dream. She was out in the woods kissing Edward Cullen. (Like we haven't all had that dream once after reading the books J) About ten seconds later, he turned into Tyler, which she hadn't minded, until his hair started growing out and turning blonde, his frame got slightly bigger, and she felt his fingerless gloves. He had turned into Reid. And the worst part was, she hadn't wanted to stop. She woke with a start, reasoning that it was only a dream and that she couldn't control it. Still, she had stayed awake the rest of the night, worried about closing her eyes. Her parents (dad) had reluctantly let Tyler stay with him, but she didn't want to worry him too, so she had suffered alone while he slept soundly, looking like an angel.

"You should have told me."

"It was two in the morning. I was fine. I dozed around seven thirty."

"And then got up at eight. I don't mind sitting up with you if it helps," he said as the doors slid open.

"I'm fine now, I just want to go to bed." They walked down the hall towards his dorm. A kind of unspoken swap had been made. Beth for Reid, not that anyone minded. They just didn't exactly go boasting about it to the provost. He unlocked the door and they went inside, Beth flipping on the light as she went. The bags were sitting on Reid's old bed. She dug around in them and pulled out one of Tyler's oversized t-shirts and his cologne. He watched as she sprayed it on both sides. Next, she stripped off her jeans, hoodie, shirts, and bra. She pulled his shirt over her head and grabbed her brush, then sat down on his bed and ran it through her hair. He raised his eyebrows. "Comfy." She smiled at him. "Very."

"What's with the cologne?"

"Well, I didn't feel like digging around in the closet, and I like smelling you when I sleep," she explained.

"Do you sniff me often while we sleep," he asked, amusement clear in his voice.

"No, but smell my pillow," she said holding it out to him. He hesitantly took it and inhaled. It smelled just like him, with few traces of Beth left. "K, I guess that makes sense."

"Yep, now I'm going to sleep. I've got classes and work tomorrow."

"What about your doctors appointment?"

"Oh yeah, I was looking some stuff up and found out that you can't see anything in an ultrasound until at least six weeks. I wanna see the baby when we go," she said. "I called and they rescheduled.

"Ok then, next thing. I don't think you should keep working at Nicky's," he said.

"What, why," she asked.

"It's a bar, with alcohol and smoking. Not exactly a baby safe environment." "Oh, I didn't think about the smoking. I just feel bad leaving him when the summer's coming up."

"I think he'll understand. He may be huge, but he's not mean."

"I know, I just still feel bad."

"It'll be ok," he said as he pulled his shirt off then his jeans, tossing both in the corner. He pulled the covers back and Beth slid under them. He lay down beside her, wrapping his arms loosely around her waist. "I love you," he said as he pressed a soft kiss to her cheek.

"I love you too," she said, and she pulled herself closer to him. She fell asleep a few minutes later, and slept all night. All dreams of Reid were kept away that night.

****************

The weeks flew by. Beth, her mom, Kate, Sarah, and Steph were consumed in wedding details. They had sent all the invitations, ordered the gazebo, were having the place where it would be cleaned, and all other details like catering, colors, the reception, and seating. Beth said she didn't want one, but Steph was planning her bachelorette party. She had met Tyler's mother, a kind woman who was happy with his choice and not mad about the ring. They were always doing something and time seemed to slip by. Too quickly to be natural, Beth was waking up for the morning of her doctors appointment. She woke and hopped in the shower. She scrubbed her long hair and let all the shampoo rinse out and then just stood there, letting the warm water sooth her muscles. She hadn't even realized she was tense. There was a gentle knock on the door. "Beth, it's seven thirty. You almost done," he asked. He heard her say "Aw crap. I'm gonna be late." She hastily shut the water and jumped out, wrapping in a towel and rushing out. She grabbed one of her uniforms, now kept on a shelf in the closet, and pulled it on. She almost choked herself trying to get the tie on.

"Slow down, you'll be on time."

"I still have to do my hair and make up."

"Well, that won't matter if you suffocate. Come here," he said. He quickly and correctly did her tie, her bouncing the whole time. "Just dry your hair. It gets waves and looks pretty."

"K, I can calm down," she told herself. She grabbed her hair dryer from her back and plugged it up in the bathroom. She quickly brushed her teeth, then yanked a brush through her hair She bent over and flipped her hair. She dried it quickly that way. Tyler came in and opened the medicine cabinet. It was so sudden, she barely had time to register Tyler crying "Beth, no. Don't do that," but it was to late. She popped back up and smacked her head on the corner of the mirror.

"OW, SON OF BITCH," she yelled as she dropped the dryer and grabbed the back of her head. She already felt her hair soaked with her blood. She knew it was just because it was her head, but she still panicked. "Oh my God, oh my God, oh my God." Tyler's hands suddenly replaced hers. "Shit, I'm sorry Beth, I didn't think you'd be done that quickly."

"It's ok. Just hurts a bit," she said. She saw the blood on her own and it was instantaneous. She vomited in the sink. Tyler groaned, feeling completely responsible. This wasn't morning sickness. She didn't have a problem with blood, but she pictured a giant gash in her head and it made her stomach turn. She stopped much quicker than usual. Tyler had a rag pressed against the back of her head.

"Hold still while I look." She stood perfectly still and felt him pull away. He sighed. It wasn't deep and was easily fixable. "Do you want me to do it, or would you rather me take you to a doctor."

"You can do it," she said. She looked at the mirror. His eyes were black and narrowed in concentration. Then she felt it. It was as if her skin were sewing itself back together from the inside out. It itched for a few seconds, then he said "Ok, I'm done." She felt the back of her head. There was still plenty of blood but she couldn't find anything else, not even a scar. "That was very weird, but thank you," she said as she turned to face him.

"You're covered in blood. I'll get it." A second later, she was completely clean, her hair dry in places she had missed before. "Thanks again, but why couldn't you have done that when I was racing around here about to choke," she asked jokingly.

"Oh, I'm sorry, I thought I was supposed to cut back on using," he said with a smile.

"Good point, now watch out. I gotta put on some make up and I'll be ready to go." She quickly threw on some eye liner and mascara, foundation, eye shadow, and light red lip gloss. She snatched up her books and purse, then followed Tyler into the hallway where they joined the small stream of stragglers. She messed with her hair, sorry she hadn't at least pulled it into a pony tail. "Relax, you look fine," he said as if he could read her mind.

"Sorry, I just usually do something to it. It feels weird now."

"You're sure it's not just from where your head knitted itself together this morning he asked her.

"I'm sure, although that was way worse than this." He looked down. "But I'll be ok," she quickly said as they reached the school building. "Now can I have a kiss, I don't get to see you again until third period." He smiled and leaned down, and kissed her passionately earning a few 'get a room's and several dirty looks, all from females. Beth sighed and Tyler pulled back grinning. She was red in the face and slightly breathless. "I think that should hold you until then," he said with a smile.

"Definitely," she replied as she walked into her classroom. She had Reid and Sarah in this one so she went and sat on Reid's left side. "Hey guys," she said and Sarah turned.

"Well well well, what were we doing this morning," she asked and she blushed as a couple people turned their heads at her words. Reid quickly said "Turn around, this isn't your conversation," and shot a sophomore girl a look that made her sink down a little and turn back to face the front in a hurry.

"Reid," Sarah scolded. "That wasn't very nice."

"I don't like people staring at me," he said with a smirk.

"Really, since when does the famous jerk-aholic not like attention," ask Beth playfully. He turned to look at her.

"Since your little friend came to town. She gives me all the attention I need, in all the right places too," he said grinning.

"Eww, so don't wanna talk about that," she whispered as class began. It was math, her most hated subject. She was really good at it, it was just dull to her. They were supposed to be taking notes but Reid and Beth were both doodling on a piece of notebook paper, knowing that Sarah would share. About halfway through the class, Reid ran his fingers over the neck of her shirt. She almost screamed. She had been dozing before and the sudden contact startled her. "What are you doing," she hissed in a whisper.

"You have blood on your collar," he whispered back. "Why?"

"I busted my head open this morning. Tyler fixed it though."

"Well he missed a spot," and he ran his fingers over her neck, causing her to shiver. "Stop that," she said as she blushed. She looked side ways at him and his eyes were black. "No, don't Reid," but he had already done it.

"Gone," he stated matter of factually.

"Don't. I don't even like it when Tyler uses."

"That's not your call. Watch this." He stared at the board and suddenly the last line erased itself. He snickered as everyone got to the vanished line and stared open mouthed at the empty space.

Some one in the back raised their hand. "Uh, Mr. Schmidt? Were there only three lines to copy?" The teacher studied the board. "No, there were four. I guess I just forgot it." He quickly wrote it back up, along with a fifth line. As soon as his back was turned and everyone was looking down, he made it disappear. Same result. "Um, where'd the fifth line go?" Mr. Schmidt turned around frowning. He wrote it back. And stared at it in confusion. His face was too much. Reid started shaking in silent laughter while Beth started giggling quietly. Sarah stared at them like they were crazy, then comprehension dawned on her. She had to put her head down and bite her tongue to keep from laughing out loud.

"Stop it," whispered Beth.

"No way, way too much fun to quit."

"Mr. Garwin. Ms. Shaufner. Would you mind sharing with the rest of the class what you are discussing that is so much more important than the notes on the board." Beth blushed scarlet at being called out. "Well," he said as he waited patiently.

"Um, well you see, the thing is." Beth was stuttering as she looked at the board and noticed the problem beside the notes. An idea hit her like a ton of bricks. "Well actually, Reid here isn't the best in math, as I'm sure you know," she said, fighting to keep a straight face while Reid stared suspiciously at her. "I was just explaining the process to him. He just got it and said he'd like to give the one on the board a try," she lied. Reid glared at her. He wasn't as good in math as he was in other subjects.

"Well then, by all means. You shall have your wish granted. Please come to the front." He paused. "Both of you." Beth blushed and Reid smirked.

"You got it sir," Reid replied. They stood and slowly made their way to the board. Beth was already working it out in her head.

"How about a little competition. If Ms. Shaufner here can solve the problem in under a minute, she will have freed the girls of homework and doubled the guys'. However, if Mr. Garwin can beat his teacher, then he will have freed the guys and will have double the girls'. Is that fair?" Everyone cheered, the girls yelling "Come on Beth. This is easy. Don't worry about it. Take your time" while the boys were yelling "Come on Reid, you can't get beat by a girl. Come on, kick her butt." One even booed her. She glared for a second and then smiled.

"That's fine Mr. Schmidt. But could you come stand between us and make sure we don't look at each others answers. I'm not very trusting where Reid is involved."

"Very well Ms. Shaufner." She smiled. She had just killed his chances of using to solve it and he knew it. He glared at the problem while Beth studied hers carefully, and then smiled for she knew the answer.

"Ok, on your mark, get set, GO!" She took a step back as Reid started working through it more quickly than Beth thought he could, but she knew he wouldn't get it because he was working it out. She heard someone say, "Uh, hello, earth to Beth. Are you gonna do the problem or not." The girls started getting mad and then worried as Reid's math weaned itself down, until he wrote the number nine down on the board. The guys cheered as the girls groaned. "Mr. Garwin seems to have finished first. And how did you come to that conclusion?"

"I'm just that good," he replied to laughter from the other students.

"I see," he said as he turned to face Beth. "And you?"

"I came to the same conclusion as him." She paused as the guys laughed, one calling out, "Yeah, after him."

"However, as I checked my math, I realized that something was missing. If we are to do the problem based on the principle on the board, then it is impossible to solve the equation without knowing a fixation with which to base your math around. It is possible to solve this question, but you'd be wrong unless we had a foundation." The guys stared open mouthed while the girls looked skeptical.

"Very well put Ms. Shaufner. Mr. Garwin, if you will, I'd like you to write up the guys' homework." Beth beamed as she went to take her seat. The girls all cheered. They were still congratulating and thanking her as class ended. Reid was suddenly in her face. "You cheated."

"I did not. I didn't know any better than you how to do that. I just read the notes. It helped. So don't be mad at me, and uh, don't forget to show your work," she said with a smile as she walked to second period.

*********************

Before she knew it, school was over and she was sitting with Tyler in her car in front of the doctor's office.

"K, so no matter what he says, I don't want you to freak out and try to force me back to bed rest," Beth said as she opened her door. Tyler got out from his side and she walked in, holding her hand. She smiled as he twirled the ring. She had taken it off in school and had kind of missed it. She liked the way it felt. She put her headphones in as she waited to be called. Tyler tapped her on the shoulder as a nurse came out. She handed him her ipod. She went back and they quickly weighed and measured her, checked her blood pressure, and did all her other work. She went through it all fairly quickly. Then she was in the ultrasound room. They let Tyler come back. "I hate waiting out there. Its like all the other moms know what I did and they hate me just for that," he said.

Beth laughed. "Tyler, their all here for the same reason, saw us come in together, so of course they know what you did. Don't worry about it. I'm pretty sure that around the time I deliver, I'll hate you enough for what you did that you'll never have to worry about these mommies again," she said with a grin.

"Gee, can't wait for that."

"But you'll know that it is just the artificial baby made hate. So no worries." He smiled and she kissed him on the cheek. At that moment the doctor came in. He smiled. "I see we're still early on. How far along is it?" Beth answered. "Almost seven weeks."

"Ok then, let's see if we can see anything. Lie down on the table please." She complied, easing gently and put her hands on her stomach. "Lift your shirt up a bit and slide up towards me." She did as she said, sliding up and letting her jeans ride low on her waist. She put on hand behind her head and faced him. "I'm ready. Gel me up doctor," she said. He chuckled and said "Eager are we? Alright then." He applied the gel and she thought that it felt weird, almost like jelly or jello. Tyler stepped up beside her while the doctor pressed the transducer to her exposed skin. She looked at the screen and watched. He slowly moved it back and forth over the area until he smiled. "Aha, found you." He put a finger to his lips and they listened to the gentle thudding. "That is your babies heartbeat. Now, this isn't perfectly defined, but this is the head, there are the feet, and tiny arms." Looking at the screen, Beth felt her heart swell and two tears escaped her eyes as she smiled. The doctor moved it around a bit. "Trying to find a different angle and… what's this," he asked suddenly. Beth's head snapped to him.

"What's wrong? Is everything ok?"

"Well, yes. If you listen again and look closely at the screen, you'll see and hear the other babies heartbeat.

Beth was in shock. She could barely form the words, but Tyler did it for her. "What? Are you saying that-"

"Yes, Miss Shaufner is pregnant with twins."

All Beth could say was "Oh. My. God."

Cliffy. Duh duh duh duh dun. I'm sorry y'all. But I thought I'd let you brood on it for a while. Anyways, I know that this chapter was very fast but the rest of the story will probably go to days right before the wedding, the wedding, the birth, and then maybe a prologue for about a year or two later. But I am thinking about making a story about the kids. Anyways, read and review. Hope you liked the chapter. TTFN
