Jay carried both of their bags and held Lex's backpack while she followed behind him. Erin and Shane had walked in the airport to drop them off, Shane was bent down hugging Lex.
"Bye bye Shane." Lex said before walking away.
"What am I? Chopped liver?"
"No I'm going to see Mickey Momma." Erin laughed as her daughter ran towards her.
"I love you baby girl. Be careful. Listen to your dad. Alright. I'll see you in a week." Alex smiled
"Alright Momma. I love you too. Daddy let's go." Lex said as she let go of her mom.
"Come on Kid." Lex looked back at her mom smiled and waved.
"Come on Daddy. We have to go." Jay smiled and laughed.
Lex pulled him through holding his hand and towards the airplane. They both boarded and Lex walked to her seat after Jay let them check their tickets. He smiled as he saw his daughter already sitting. Jay grabbed her ipad out and handed it to her then put the bag on the ground.
"Alright kid. You can sleep if you want or you can watch netflix on the ipad." Lex nodded her head By the time the plane took off she was already asleep. Jay had a chance to take a picture of her and send it to Erin with the caption "She couldn't last."
Erin texted back. "That is adorable. Look where we are." Erin sent a picture of Shane and herself at the Cub's game eating Dippin' dots.
"I love you." Jay texted
"Is that your wife?" The lady next to him asked
"Yeah. And my son.." Jay said
"That's nice. I guess it's a daddy daughter trip for her and yourself?" Jay smiled
"Yeah.. Disney World. My wife is having a baby in a couple of weeks so I decided to take her out before the baby comes. Except she bailed on me." The lady laughed
"You two have fun. I've got a business trip. Lucky me." Jay laughed
"Daddy." She said quietly as she started waking up.
"Yeah baby girl."
"I want something to e-."
Over the intercom. "Flight 55 this is your captain speaking. We are about to land in Orlando. Please make sure your seat belts are on and we'll be there in no time."
"We are about to land when we do. I'll get you something."
"Okay." They landed twenty minutes later once they were off Jay held her hand and started walking towards baggage claim. Jay stood watching the lady who was talking to him, she took off her large coat and placed it on her bag then started walking.
"Daddy, Can we call Mommy?"
"Yeah kid." Jay pulled out his phone and dialed Erin's number.
"Hey Erin. This is Jay. I wanted to tell you we landed off the plane. We are heading that way toward Disney. I love you and I'll see you in a week."
"What do you want to eat? Or do you wanna wait until we get into the park."
"I'll wait." Lex grabbed his hand and pulled him through the airport toward their rental car.
"Shoot. I forgot your carseat."
"Oh well. I'll be fine daddy." Lex said as she buckled up. Jay smiled at her and started driving he put the gps on.
"Erin, I liked this. A week without Lex."
"Yeah my baby girl. That's the first time she's been away for that long."
"It won't be her last time. That kid seems to love traveling. She's not afraid.." Shane smiled
"Do you know what you want to do when you get out of high school." Erin asked
"No. I don't actually. I haven't figured it out."
"Well.. I know there's a spot opening up in Intelligence in a couple of years.. Someone told me to tell you it's yours if you want it.."
"You're joking? Intelligence?"
"Yeah.. It's yours and Daniel's in a couple of years.. Of course Jordan too. But mostly yours.. The way you didn't put up a fight going to save Lex. Showed your true colors. I know it takes some gut and strength.."
"People say it would. I didn't think twice. I just made up my mind and sent those texts. I had my inner demons telling me don't do it but her life mattered more. Jordan and Daniel jumped aboard. They've been knowing her longer than I have.. They hesitated but I just went in there. I wanted her safe. She's become my world since I moved. I know I wasn't exactly an angel but she saved me so I wanted to make you and Dad proud.. I didn't save her just for that reason she means more than making you two proud."
"Shane what you did.. It made me proud but it made me love you more than I already did.."
"Can we just go home? I don't really need anything to eat. It's taking too long." Shane laughed
"Yeah we can. Have you talked to Quinn?"
"No. She's been busy.."
"Oh. I was going to ask if you wanted invite her over for dinner." Shane frowned
"No. I think I'm gonna break up with her. I know that's no reason to but we haven't hung out. I really do like her but we are drifting apart."
"Son, all I'm going to say is fight like hell to keep it going but sometimes it's not worth it keeping it going.." Erin said
"Can I invite the boys over?"
"Yeah kid. Anything. I'll order pizza. I'll probably go out shopping with Kim, I need a few more things."
"Isn't the baby due like in a couple of days for Kim?"
"I guess it is.." Soon after Erin got a text saying Kim went into labor.
"Spoke too soon kid."
"Wanna come or stay home?"
"I guess I'll come." Shane said
"I bet Daniel or Jordan is going to be there." Erin said
"I hope."
Shane and Erin soon after walked into the hospital, their family were all sitting there. Waiting.
"Erin.."
"Yeah?"
"Kim and I want you to be the godmother." Erin smiled
"Really?" Erin said
"Yeah. He deserves someone like you to guide him through life."
"Kevin." Adam said
"Yeah?"
"Would you like to be his godfather?"
"Yeah I would. I IT would mean a lot. He's going to be so spoiled."
"Have you decided on a name?" Shane asked
"Yeah but you can't know it till after he's born." Adam laughed
"Oh. Alright."
"Y'know Alex when I was a kid. My mom and dad brought me to Disney. I rode this one ride It's a Small World. There's a song that'll get stuck in your head but it's a ride I ride every time I go. Ready?" They were on the bus right when it stopped. Their first stop was Magic Kingdom. Jay was quite excited for her reaction
"Daddy is the THE park with the castle?" Alex asked
"Yeah it is." Jay grabbed her hand and walked out he was holding the backpack with everything in it. Once they got closer the security guard checked it then the walked to the entrance where their bands were scanned.
"Daddy can we meet Mickey?" Jay smiled
"Yeah kid."
"Your daughter is very adorable." A lady with a four year old son said
"Thanks." Alex was dressed in a Cinderella dress.
"Lex are you ready?"
"Uh yeah Daddy."
"Let's go ride some rides." Alex smiled
Shane looked over at a message on Daniel's phone. He knew he shouldn't have but he did anyway.
"I love you." It read he didn't register who it was from until he looked up. When he noticed that. His smile got smaller and his eyes got wider. Shane stepped back and looked up at Daniel
"Daniel." His voice croaked
"What?"
"I I trusted you. You were my best friend! I forgave you. I became vulnerable and t this is how I'm treated?" Shane pushed him back then Daniel pushed him and someone threw a punch.
"GO! BOTH OF YOU!" Kevin said pushing them both back.
"I love you? DANIEL WHAT THE HELL!" Shane shouted
"Shane I'm gonna need you to calm down." Antonio said
"No. I'm fine. I'm good." ANTONIO gave him a look
"No you're not. Back up."
Shane backed up and sat down
"What the hell happened?" Antonio asked
"Quinn texted him I love you.. I just."
"You just assumed.."
"Yeah but Daniel hasn't told me anything."
"Shane.." Daniel said
"What's really going on? Because Quinn hasn't texted me hung out with me. I see the text on your phone. That doesn't make me think? I mean. I've been hurt so many times. So I automatically thought the worst. Explain yourself. So I can know if I can stop spending my time wasting it on her."
"She texted me a couple weeks back saying. She loves me. She thinks I'm THIS and that. I asked her out she told me you and her weren't doing good so I thought you were going to break up. T that's why I asked her out. I know it was wrong. But she started loving me around the time the blast happened. Shane. I swear to god."
"Save it for someone who cares." Shane said
"Alright. Maybe I will."
Shane rolled his eyes and walked away right as Quinn was walking up into the hospital. Shane looked up and rolled his eyes.
"What's your problem?" Quinn asked coming over and giving him a hug.
"How about you ask him? Huh you sure do love texting him."
"Oh.." She said
"Yeah oh. I don't want to hear it Quinn.. As far as I am concerned. This is over. Us is over. Go be his girlfriend. You obviously care more about him."
"Shane.."
"No Quinn. I'm done."
Shane walked away and sat down watching Erin and everyone else stare at him like a complete idiot. That's what he felt like. A complete idiot. Like He could've known it happened but he didn't. Erin walked over and stood by him.
"Hey kid. Wanna go grab some ice cream?" She asked
"I just wanna be left alone. I wanna call dad but I don't want to bother him."
Erin sat next to him and pulled him in a hug. "Hey later we'll call him. He's probably busy with Lex. Shane Are you okay?"
"I'm fine.." Shane got up and started walking away. She sent Kevin and Tony a look and they both walked away following him.
"Shane? You sure you're okay?" Tony asked
"I guess." He sounded depressed, his voice was sluggish his whole body was moving slower than usually. The two guys standing in front of him could tell she meant a lot.
"Kevin, have you ever been through a breakup?" Kevin looked at Tony and nodded his head.
"No. I haven't. I've never been through one."
"Y'know Shane this breakup is supposed to teach you something. It's meant to mean that you're one step closer to getting to your destination. Where you're supposed to be. You're only sixteen, your special someone is out there. I promise."
"Yeah whatever."
"Daddy that was a lot of fun!" Alex shouted
By now it was almost 9:30 at night and Alex was getting close for her bedtime. They got off the bus and walked up to the hotel room. Jay held Alex in his arms and kept walking.
"Daddy, where are we going tomorrow?"
"Epcot. We get to visit a bunch of countries and see Nemo and Dory." Alex smiled
"Can we call Mommy when we get back?"
"Yeah kid." Jay opened the door back to the room and Alex walked in. She sat down on the bed and waited for her dad.
Jay dialed her number and waited as it kept ringing. Until it picked up. "I've missed your voice."
"Hey Lex wanted me to call you and I've missed yours too."
"Kim is at the hospital having the baby. And Shane. He's going through a breakup."
Jay's eyes widened. "What why?"
"She was cheating on him."
"Oh wow. Lex WANNA talk to momma?" Lex smiled then got up and grabbed the phone.
"Hey Mama. We went to Magic Kingdom. I think." She laughed boy did Erin miss it. "We rode a lot of rides. And guess what I got to meet Mickey and Tiana, and Elsa and Anna."
"Awe baby that is great! I'm glad you're having fun. Guess what?"
"Ooh what Mama?"
"Aunt Kim is having the baby." Alex smiled big
"She is? Is it a girl?"
N
"No. It's a boy."
"Oh. I wanted a girl." Alex rolled her eyes
"Sorry baby."
"Mommy! I rode a bunch of rides." Erin smiled
"That's cool baby girl. I gotta go but I'll talk tomorrow. It's been a long day." Alex nodded her head
"Okay Momma. I love you."
"I'm sorry Shane.." Quinn said
"I don't care. A Sorry is too late."
"Mommy are you having a boy or a girl?"
"I don't know. We will find out." Erin smiled
"Oh. Mommy I love you." Then the phone hung up. Erin smiled as she saw Adam standing in front of her with the scrubs on.
"I am a dad to a son, he's so big. He's got a full head of hair. His name is Tate Christian Ruzek."
"That is beautiful name." Erin said
"Congrats man." Kevin said before giving him a hug.
"Can I meet him?"
"Yeah.." Adam smiled as he guided Erin and Kevin back to where Kim was holding their son. Erin smiled as Kim was looking at Adam.
"Erin? Wanna hold your godson?"
"Yeah. I'd love too." Erin walked closer to Kim and she was handed her godson and nephew.
"He's adorable. Hi little Tate. I'm your aunt Erin.. I'm gonna spoil you, and you're gonna be best friends with my son JJ.."
"A son?" Erin laughed
"Yeah I'm having a boy.. I kept it a secret so you can't tell anyone."
"Tate is gonna be best buds." Kim said
"Yeah he is. I'm glad you had a boy.. Although a girl would've been nice." Kevin said
"Adam over there is sapping over having a boy imagine if we did have a girl but you never know we might have another kid.."
"I'm done for kids. This is my last one." Erin laughed
"Jay doesn't want anymore?"
"No. We think this is good. Alex doesn't even want another sibling. Shane is going off to college so we'll just have them two. It'll be perfect." Erin smiled
Erin walked out of the room and towards the waiting room where Shane had punched Daniel.
"Shane Joshua Halstead." She said
"What?" It's not like you're going to do anything. All you do is sit on your ass and text my dad you're pregnant anyway." Shane rolled his eyes then sat down on the chair.
"I never did anything to you Shane. I'm only trying to help. Sorry I have a disadvantage. I don't know what's getting into you, but you're not acting right.. I understand you just lost your girlfriend but this is no way to act toward me." Erin spat
"You know what we are just going to go home. Forget the surprise I had planned for you. If you're gonna have an attitude." Erin wanted to scream louder than ever. She was pissed everyone could tell. "I'm sorry Shane."
"Daddy can we go get some ice cream?" Alex asked
"Maybe tomorrow kid. We've got a long day alright."
"Okay Daddy. I love you."
"I love you too kid. Y'know I'm always gonna be here for you whenever you need me, no matter what. If it's 3 am and you need a ride because someone was a jerk. I will come pick you up. When you're crying I'll be your soldier. I hope when something is wrong you come to me first or your mom.. I love you Lex."
"Daddy thank you."
"Anything for my girl.." Jay smiled as him and his daughter snuggled up on the couch watching Princess and the Frog. Alex's favorite disney movie. Jay had promised her that they could watch it.
