Jaymi jumped up from her bed and looked out her window. She thought she had heard Isaac's car. But it wasn't. She sighed and flopped back down on her bed. She haddn't seen Isaac since she had yelled at him, so she knew this was a serious fight. But Jaymi had something to be angry about. For the past few weeks, Isaac had pretty much ignored her. He haddn't been to one of her Ultra Sounds and he had been spending all his spare time either at the office or sitting at his kitchen table, working.
"Knock knock" A voice said from behind Jaymi's closed bedroom door.
"Who is it?"
"Me... hope you don't mind, I just came by to see how you were." C.J said, walking into the room. She smiled at her friend. "You'll be ok..." She said. Jaymi shrugged and patted her growing stomach.
"Yeah.... anyway, I've got Casey or Liam here" She said. C.J smiled at Jaymi. She couldn't believe that Jaymi was going to be a Mother. And that the baby was going to be named after her if it was a girl. "So, what's been happening? it seems like ages since we last talked". C.J couldn't keep the grin from her face. The grin was infectious. Jaymi grinned back, even though she didn't know what she was smiling about.
"Zac and I are back together" C.J burst out. Jaymi's face lit up.
"AGHHH!! that's great!!!" Jaymi cried, opening her arms for C.J to hug her. "What happened?". C.J told her the story and Jaymi hugged her again.
"I just feel so bad that I didn't believe Zac about Amy" C.J said. Jaymi shook her head.
"He loves you. He always has. Even when he thought you were dead... sure he went out and got stoned and drunk, but he never touched another girl. And now he's got you back" She said. C.J smiled.
"Yep... he sure does... and I've got him."
"ZAC!" A female voice screeched out from over the other side of the Mall. Zac whirrled around and saw... Amy. He groaned as she started storming towards him.
"Here comes trouble" Jay said quietly. He grinned at Amy as she approached them. "Hey Amy... how's the love child?" He asked.
"Shut up asshole"
"Ohhh fiesty!" Jay said, getting a kick out of making Amy angry.
"Jay....." Zac said, in a tone that Jay knew meant for him to go away. Jay walked away.
"You are not getting my baby" Amy stated once Jay was out of ear shot. Zac looked confused.
"Excuse me?"
"You and C.J think you are gonna get my baby once it's born well you can think again! I'm not giving it up!"
"I'm sorry, but thats where you are wrong Amy... how will I know you are going to be a good mother? Nope, I just cant trust you... so, my parents are going to give me their full support and I am going to get custody of my child. C.J is planing to adopt it, so we can raise it together." Zac told her, his voice calm. Amy was sething with anger.
"NO . YOUR . NOT!" She screamed. "This is MY baby! No one is going to take him away from me! You hear.. NO ONE! I would kill before I let anyone near him!"
"I'd watch what you say Amy.. there are plenty of people around who have just heard every word you said. I beleive you about the baby being mine, I have no way of proving otherwise." Zac said.
"You wont get my baby... theres no way the courts will give my baby to a complete stranger!" Amy cried.
"But I'm not a stranger.. I'm the father.. you said so yourself Amy." Zac protested.
"NO NO NO! YOUR NOT THE FATHER! Your not! And you wont get him! You'll NEVER get my baby!" Amy sreamed, she then turned and slowly walked away, mumbling to herself. It was exactly what Zac wanted to hear. Jay ran over to his friend. He head heard the whole conversation.
"Hear that? Your not the father man!" Jay exclaimed, giving Zac a high five. Zac smiled. He couldnt wait to tell C.J.
"Ohmigod! isn't this beautiful? Honey??... Tay... Taylor!" Kayla exclaimed, shaking her boyfriend gently.
"Huh? wha... uhh yeah.. it's great.." Taylor said, looking around, distaste plastered over his face. Kayla sighed.
"This is the tenth apartment we've looked at today! You've liked what.. three of them?? and they were all to far away from the rest of our families... you know I dont want to be far from Jaymi once shes had her baby!" Kayla cried, annoyance and frustration in her voice.
"I know I know... I'm sorry. This one's..... fine" Taylor said, not wanting to get into yet another argument with Kayla.
"No this one's not fine cause I know you don't like it!" Kayla said stubbornly. Taylor rolled his eyes. They had been looking at apartments all day and it was starting to take it's toll on the both of them. If they didn't stop soon, they were going to get into a huge argument. "Look, why don't we call it a day.. lets go to dinner and then a movie.. we haven't done that for a while." Kayla suggested. Taylor smiled and nodded.
"Now, that sounds like a plan. What movie?" Taylor asked as he lead Kayla out of the apartment.
