Chapter 5

"Somewhere in between the beginning and the middle"


Jess and Mackie run in and Jess stops dead when she sees me. I'm not sure I like the way everyone looks at me now. She breaks into a smile and jumps over to me, "you're back!! she hugs me too, and so does Mackie, and then Zoe and Avery.
Walker comes in, looks at me and smiles, without saying a word.

The front door slams, and Tay walks in the room.
"That didn't go so well," he looks tired and slightly sad, but he smiles at me shyly and reaches for my hand. I let him take it and we sit at the table, him to my right, and to his right at the head of the table is Walker. To my left is Avery, then Jessi, next to her is Diana. Across from her is Zoe, and across from me is Zac, opposite Tay is Ike, and Mackie is between Walker and Ike. One big family, I look around, ready to cry again, as Diana says "Grace." The three boys harmonize on "Amen," and we all start to eat.

Afterward, Tay walks me to the side walk. "Are you sure you don't want me to drive you back to Demi's?"
He doesn't want me to go to Demi's at all, but we agreed to start slow. I'll be staying at Demi's and at Gabe's place for a while, while we rebuild our relationship.
"That's okay, it's a nice night, but you can walk with me if you want, but you'll have to walk home..." I reply.
"That's okay, it is nice of you, so I'll walk with you" he looks up at me, if you don't mind." I smile, and we start to walk, hand in hand. During the next few weeks we started from somewhere in between the beginning and the middle, we went to the movies twice and out to eat, and to a few parties. The baby was realativly a secret, until Amy got mad at Taylor for going back to me, although she knew it would happen sooner or later. after that everyone knew, but no one was all that suprised, and everything is going well, I moved back into the room I claimed in the basement next to the TV room and across from the bathroom.

Things are slowly going back to the way they were...but we have a long way to go and things will be different when there's a baby in the picture. But I like where we're going and I think everything's going to be okay. I have to go get ready, we're going to Rick's party in about fifteen minutes. Well bye for now-
