The table was quiet as Brooke, Sandino, Ella and Leslie ate. When the idea of getting the two families together came up, it sounded like a good plan, but there was some sort of tension in the room. For some odd reason, Sandino expected there to be a lot of conversation, but he guessed the mood was a little tense considering the fact that their seventeen year old kids were going to be parents.
“So Brooke.” Leslie finally broke out, “Sandino tells me you’re happy about having a girl.” Brooke nodded with a smile. “I myself was hoping for a boy. They’re much easier to handle than girls.”
“How so?” Brooke asked softly. Leslie looked.
“Well, their clothes are simple, and cheap. Girls have all these different colors and styles and designs and jewel

~KAHLAN AND CARLY~The thing that I hated about unpacking is when boxes, peeled tape, newspaper and bubble wrap start overcrowding every surface in the place. As I unpacked, it just seemed like I was making a bigger mess. I was getting rid of all the plastic bags and boxes when I heard my cell phone ring from the back room; I had left it on the bed. It was the only place that didn’t seem so messy, I rushed down the hall just in time to answer it.“Hello?” I asked. I lay on my stomach, feet up in the air“Hey, Kahlan, it's Carly, what are you up to right now?” I rolled over on my back, taking a quick glance around the room. There were boxes piled on top of boxes. Oddly, the bedroom was the most organized room thus far.“Um nothing,” I

~KAHLAN AND CARLY~“So what’s this all about?” I asked Carly as I used my fork to pick up one of my chickens. I had a variety on my plate, honey, barbequed, and fried.“What do you mean?” Carly asked after taking a sip of her drink.“I mean this whole treating me to dinner. I’m just waiting for Kate to pop up out of nowhere.” I chuckled nervously, while Carly stared.“Do you trust me?” Carly asked. With that question I figured Kate was on her way. “I told you she wasn’t going to be anywhere around.” I stared at her.“So that brings me back to my original question. What is this all about?”

~KAHLAN AND DAMON~It was late morning and I was running around the house trying to get myself together. I didn’t want to be late for my first meeting with Doctor Hersch. I had finally found my purse and keys and I was on my way out the door when my cell phone rang.“Hello?”“Hey, what happened last night? I thought you were going to come over.” I smiled. I had recognized the voice instantly, it was Damon.“Yeah, I’m sorry,” I replied, “Carly and I got home pretty late, and instead of grabbing clothes like I was supposed to, I passed out, but don’t worry, I’ll make it up to you tonight.”“Oh yeah?” Damon asked intrigued. I chuckled.

~KAHLAN AND ELISHA~“Just start off by telling me about your closest friends,” Hersch said. I stared.“Well my closest friend would have to be Justin, I mean Carly,” I quickly changed my mind. She looked.“Why the indecisiveness?” She asked.“Well, in recent events Justin and I have sort of drifted apart.”“Ok, tell me about Carly.” That surprised me. Damon would have wanted to unravel the mystery as to why Justin and I’s relationship was on the rocks but Hersch here, just simply ignored it.“Well, I don’t really know what to say. She’s young, beautiful, and popular.” She smiled.

~CARLY AND KATE~Carly hated when her father left… Usually; but that was because she was alone and had a monster like James watching her every move, but now, Kate was here. She was like an actual mother. She cooked, she cleaned and engaged Carly into conversations that she couldn’t have with her dad. How could Kahlan not want this? It seemed like the Mercer family was apart for way too long and it was about time that they got together. After everything that they have been through, they deserve a happiness that only a family can provide. Carly raced downstairs to find Kate looking at the screen of her phone. There was a picture of a little girl, probably Kahlan.“I have the tickets,” Carly said, holding out two plane tickets. “Now all you have to do is say yes.” Kate stared, knowing exactly what Carly was referring to.

~DAMON AND MR.LESTER~“Mr. Meir”, Mr. Lester said as he followed Damon into his office. “Thank you for coming in on a Saturday. I know you’re usually off these days.” Damon smiled.“Oh, you’re welcome. It’s fine.” He took a seat at the desk. “So what can I do for you?” Damon invited him to sit, but he declined.“I just wanted to speak to you about Kahlan Mercer.” Damon stared at him.“Ah… what about her?”“Well, I’ve switched her over to another doctor, of course you know that, but the doctor needs briefing on the patient.” Damon nodded.“And what can I

~KAHLAN~Carly yelled and whooped as we ran out onto the football field, the rest of us followed in her lead. We quickly got into our formations and welcomed the team onto the field. As I screamed along with the rest of the field, I saw my mother, Kate Mercer standing in the crowd. It surprised me. I almost forgot my dance and hell even the cheer. What the hell was she here for? I looked over at Carly who seemed so into the cheer that she didn’t even see Kate in the stands. I shook it off. I had no time to think about my mother, after all, she didn’t all that time she was gone. I continued on with my cheer. The cheer was pretty much over when I spotted someone else. He had dark hair and dark brown eyes. He was a little taller than me, with big arms and shoulders. He wore black pants and white T-shirt with flowers in his hands. My mind flashed back.

~KAHLAN~ I slowly opened my eyes to a dim bedroom. The curtains were closed and quite frankly, I wanted to shut my eyes and fall back into my slumber. For a moment, I did, but then eventually flung them back open. Emett and Terry Castle were under my roof! It brought excitement to my chest and chills all over my body. I jumped up, and rushed down the stairs. When I entered the living room, I saw such a mess. I had gone to bed earlier than them because I still had school the next morning. Looking around, it seemed that they had made a fort of some sort. Sheets, blankets and pillows from the spare room crowded the floor. The guys were in the kitchen. Emett was shirtless, a small metal spoon in his mouth, holding a large bowl against his chest. Terry was laughing about something as he stared into the fridge. “Morning guys,” I chirped, eyes on the brothers. “What are you guys doing?” It was nice to hear their voices, the voices I grew up with. Emett was my best friend and naturally I h

~ELLA~ Ella rushed up to one of the cops on the scene. The waiting around was killing her. The cops had begun to clear out one part of the building. There was an automotive class-taking place, and their escape was out the garages of the North side of the building. Officers were planning on storming through there. That was the last that she had heard of their plans. There were two students hurt, but at least ten evacuated. That gave some hope. There were no fatalities. Ella wanted to help."I'm an off duty nurse," she stated, "I'm here to offer any assistance." The cop looked at her."Do you have your badge?" She pulled out her nursing badge and let the cop examine it. At least he was being thorough."Go on over to the par

~JUSTIN, EMETT AND MYA~ Mya snuck the guys into one of the pool exits. It threw them off course just a bit to get the front office, but as long as they got inside, Justin didn’t care. He would find a way to Kahlan."How did you know this would be open?" Justin asked quietly. He wasn’t comfortable with Mya leading them. As men, they should be protecting her. She should be behind them."They cut the electricity off," she whispered back, "That means that the doors that were usually on manual locks, would open." Justin never paid attention to things like that, so he was glad that Mya did, otherwise, they may have still been outside, trying to find a way in, or they would have given up."How did you know there were

~KAHLAN AND BROOKE~ "It’s been five minutes!" Brooke shouted at me as quiet as she could when I returned to her side. She had gotten loud as if she was angry, but she was scared. She was sweating bullets, her face looking as if she had gotten caught in the rain."I know, I'm sorry," I said, "Did anyone text back?" She shook her head. "Damn it." Brooke looked at me. She wanted so badly for me to have good news for her, but I didn’t."What are we going to do?" she asked as she placed a hand over her belly. I stared down at her stomach. It was more than out lives at stake, it was the life of this unborn child. I couldn't give her an answer; so instead, I looked around, trying to come up with our next move.

~AMY, CHAD AND JASON~Jason looked, asking himself the same question. What was his problem? The fact that his friend and girlfriend lied to him… yep, that was it."I don't have a problem," Jason answered softly."Well you sure do stomp around like you do," Chad said."I'm upset," Jason replied. "I don't know how I should feel, but I know I don't hate you. Most of me misses you guys, but there is still a part of me that can't get over the fact that you two lied. And when I think about it, I can see you guys in my head, and it just makes me sick to my stomach.""Let us help you get over it," Amy said getting to her feet, "trying to avoid us and staying mad at us obviously isn't helping." Jason looke

~JUSTIN~ Everyone got to their knees outside, at the sound of another gunshot. The group was pushed back further from the school as more people escaped. Now officers had arrived on the scene. They had begun pushing everyone back across the parking lot, closer to the street and the surrounding homes. Justin couldn’t just stand around and do nothing. He was not the type to feel powerless."I have to get in there," he demanded, pushing past Carly. He didn’t even get a few feet, before he was thrown to the ground. He landed on his left knee pretty hard, feeling the pain of the pavement. He looked up and saw Coach Myers on top of him."Where do you think your going boy?" the coach growled."I ha

~KAHLAN AND CARLY~“So you have a date tonight?” Carly asked as we made our way to the front of the school. I glanced over at her as we walked down the hall. I had to stop by my locker to drop off my textbooks. We agreed that to car pool for a while. It saved time and gas money.“Its not a date.” “Yeah, but you want it to be.” She grinned. I looked over at her. It seemed that Carly might have knew more than I did. Justin and I had discussed going out together. As far as I was concerned it was just as friends. Though I wasn’t sure exactly what we were doing. Justin just said it was a birthday surprise.“Its two friends hanging out.” I responded. She looked at me. &l

~CARLY AND JUSTIN~Justin rushed through the crowds of teens pooling into the lunchroom. He was chasing one particular person down, and wanted to get to her before she reached their lunch table. He reached out and touched Carly’s shoulder, pulling her back.“Hey,” she said with a slight chuckle, his force a bit surprising. The last time she was grabbed like that, James was the one with the force. She was able to push the thought away from her mind rather quick. “What’s going on?” He seemed eager.“What do you think I should get Kahlan for her birthday?” That wasn’t a question she thought he’d ask.“Well, what do you think she wants?” She questioned, “besides you naked in a bow?”

~BROOKE AND SANDINO~ Brooke knocked on Sandino’s door. She had heard that he didn’t go to school, and figured now would be the best time to go over, since his mother would be at work. Dino opened the door, looking at her through the screen."What do you want?" he asked. She looked. So far, this was going better than expected. She didn’t even think that he would open the door, let alone speak to her."Just to talk.""I don’t want to talk. Not to you anyway.” He looked as if he had been sleeping the day away, hiding from the embarrassment that she caused."I don’t want you to hate me," she spoke out. Hate was a strong word, but if anyone was going to

~KAHLAN AND JUSTIN~ I stood at my locker, putting away my books when Justin walked up to me. I could feel his presence before I saw her. He stood behind me."Hey," he said. I turned around to look at him. We hadn't talked since what happened in my pool, and since I blurted all my thoughts and feelings at the lunch table. It seemed that our time had now come. I was ready to talk to him and it seemed that he was ready to talk to me."Hi," I said quietly."How are you?" he asked."I'm good," I answered, "You?""Not so much," He responded, putting his hands into his pockets. I looked at him. He did look a mess, as if he were losing sleep
