It had seemed like forever since she'd seen Zane, and Tally was growing impatient. She knew she'd seen him at school everyday, but that didn't really give them much time to talk about anything, and she felt like she needed him right now. She couldn't figure out what was bothering her so much, but she always felt as if her stomach was in knots and she didn't want him to think that she didn't want to hang out with him, because she did, all the time, actually, she just had been busy with homework and everything, and he'd been busy... well... she didn't really know what he was busy with.
She stepped up to the front door of the Richards' home and rang the doorbell. She didn't figure he would answer the door, because typically he didn't, and he might be having another headache, she didn't know. What she did know was that she missed him and wanted to talk to him, or just sit with him. She wanted to be close to him. Sure they'd talked at school, but it was mostly idle chat, something about homework here and then something about baseball or family there. She wanted to seriously talk, or just sit in silence. Either were fine for her.

Zane just so happened to be standing right in front of the front door when the doorbell rang only problem with opening it immediately was the baby standing in front of him lifting his hand up, making grabby hands and calling his name and the word 'up.' He bent and lifted the little one into his arms and then tossed him into the air, he caught him and placed him on his hip as he answered the door. "Look Gage, it's my long lost girlfriend." He leaned forward and kissed her cheek, then with a glance at Gage he turned his body so Gage wasn't staring at Tally and placed a kiss on her lips, the lips he'd missed. "Gage, can you say hi to Tally?"
"Hi Tawee." Gage said pushing himself from Zane, nearly flinging himself out of Zane's arms, making grabby hands at Tally. "Whoa, bud." He readjusted his hold on the little guy and moved closer to Tally. "Do you want to hold him? If not I can wake Tess up. She's been asleep longer than she wanted to sleep anyway."

Tally smiled as soon as the door was opened by her boyfriend. She blushed lightly at what he called her, but accepted his cheek kiss and then the one on the lips, wishing she could hold him there longer, but figuring she could get to that a little later. "Hey," she said lightly as he pulled away from her. She smiled at the little boy as he said hi to her and shook her head lightly, "Well, hello there, Gage," she said with a smile as he started to grab for her. She grinned and shook her head, "No, I'll hold him, I'm sure Tess needs her sleep, besides, I'm going to need my practice taking care of little ones. I'm pretty sure I'm going to have to move in with Tally once the babies are born, at least after Avery leaves..." She took the boy from her boyfriends arms and gave him a hug, "How are you, Gage? Did you miss me?"

Zane passed Gage to Tally and invited her further into the house. "She's going to be mad that I let her sleep so long, but I agree she needs it." Gage petted Tally's hair and clapped his hands. "I took him to the park yesterday and this long haired dog came over, he kept pulling the dogs fir, lucky the dog was so patient, I taught him to pet gently." He motioned to Gage's gentle petting. "Gage..." Gage turned his head to look at Zane, but kept running his tiny fingers through Tally's hair. "Can you say I've been naughty?"
Gage stuck out his bottom lip. "I notty." Zane grinned. "He's been sitting in front if Tess' door pawing at it." He laughed. "Kid loves his mommy. So how is Gracie? Avery said he and Gracie were having some tense moments before she told your mom about the twins." Avery hadn't shared too many details and seemed reluctant to tell him anything at all. "How'd your mom take that news?"

Tally nodded and smiled as Gage started to pet her hair, and she ran her hand over his dark, baby fine hair. "His hair is getting long," she said lightly. "I think someone's going to be getting his first haircut soon, huh?" she asked lightly, giving Gage a wide eyed look. She looked back up at Zane as he explained the story about the dog and laughed at the end. "Well, I'm glad he learned that, or he'd be yanking my hair out right now…" She shook her head softly and looked down at Gage as he said he'd been naughty.
Tally smiled, "Awe, no, baby, you can play with my hair if you want." She kissed his forehead softly and looked at her boyfriend again. "Well, she loves him too. She takes great care of him, honestly I'm kind of surprised at how well they've been doing with him. He's just such a sweetie." She laughed softly as well. She shrugged at his question, though. "She's fine. Morning sickness has been gone for a few weeks, she's gotten big, though. She looks like she's seven months pregnant, but really she's only about five. It's crazy." She shrugged lightly again. "Mom took it better than I would have imagined her to, but my bet is she'd already guessed that they'd have twins. It'd be kind of odd if they didn't, since they're both identical twins. Girls. And Gracie's going to have her hands full. They were having arguments, but I think it was because Gracie was just easily agitated. She still is, really..."

Zane led her into the living room and sat down, patting the seat next to him. "He does need a haircut, Tess keeps saying it too, but she hasn't found the time. I'd take him, but she wants to be there and she wants Nick to be there too. They ate doing a great job with him, they have a lot of help though, he's set for the rest of his life, no one will ever make him want for anything, even if Tess and Nick can't personally pay for it." Gage played with Tally's hair some more and then the drum he'd received for his birthday caught his attention and he squirmed his way out of her arms and down to it.
"I haven't seen her around, not even around school. She's still going right? I know I've been busy with baseball and school work." He felt bad that he hadnt had much time for anything. "How do you feel about it? Monte seems to have mixed feelings about it, but part of me thinks that's not the twins it's the girl drama in his life." He sighed, he and Avery were a lot closer than he and Monte, but Monte had confided in him that he was considering a move to New Orleans as soon as Avery returned in 2012, no matter what his girl situation. "How's your mom going to take you moving in with Gracie while Avery is gone?"

Tally smiled and brushed a hand over his head again before the little boy got down off of her lap. "Yeah, that's an important thing to be there for. I wouldn't want to miss any of it." She watched as he started to play with his drum, but then looked back to Zane.
She nodded, "Yeah, she's still going now, but I'm pretty sure the doctor will put her on bed rest soon. She's waddling, which is really funny if you ask me." She sighed lightly. "But she still goes, although most of the time she only makes it half day because she'll start to get really sleepy or just kind of zone out. She's gotten a lot of her afternoon classes switched to home bound already, but she's trying to stay active as long as possible, which is supposedly better for the babies." She rested her head on Zane's shoulder, glad to have him there for the support. She shrugged lightly, "I don't know. I feel like I'm kind of being pushed into this a little. Don't get me wrong, I want to help, and I know she needs my help, it's just…" she licked her lips and took a breath, trying to get her thoughts straight. "…I'm not the one who got pregnant, you know?" She shrugged again at his last question, "I don't really know, but she doesn't have much of a choice. She knows I'll stick by Gracie before I'll stand by her decisions. I know she's my mom, but Gracie is my best friend, and my sister. We practically share a brain…"

Zane put his arm around Tally. "I'll help out as much as possible too. Avery is my friend and I don't mind helping out if it'll take some of the burden off you, Gracie and Monte. Avery hates that he signed that contract now he's only openly admitted it to me once, but you can see it in his eyes." He felt bad for Tally, Gracie, and Avery for the way things were turning out, he knew Avery and Gracie would be capable of caring for them without their siblings help. "Maybe Gracie won't need help except maybe a break here and there. I'm also sure you could tell them no and they would be angry with you. It's not really your responsibility." He shrugged, he wasn't going to spend whatever time he had discussing or trying to persuade Tally that she wasn't required to do anything she didn't want. "So what's the special occasion? I'm glad you're here but where did you find a break in your schedule?" He asked moving closer to her and kissing her gently. "I can't wait for summer or even spring break, if you don't mind I'd like to spend all of spring break with you." He glanced at Gage on the floor and then kissed her a little heavier. "I don't know what we'll do, but something."
"Zane!" Tess' voice came from the hall. "You were supposed to wake me up, you asshole." She made get way into the living room, searching for him. "Hey Tally." She placed her hands on her hips. "I have homework I need to finish and you don't need to be bothered by my son when you have guests over."
Zane tried to protest, but she held up her hand. "I'm serious you don't spend enough tine with Tally and I'm not going to be responsible for that. Stop trying to argue, in grateful that you are willing to watch him so I can sleep, but he's not yours and I feel awful. Tally, nice to see you. Make this punk take you somewhere or at least away from here." She smiled, picked up Gage who had been abusing her shins and left the room.
Zane grinned. "Told you she'd be mad." He kissed her again. "What would you like to do now that I'm a free man? You hungry? Any movies out you want to see? He was about to suggest his bedroom, but that was a little uncalled for, surely she wouldn't want to take any risks, not with Gracie waddling around with a five month pregnant belly that resembled a seven month belly. Tally wasn't exactly out of the clear for conceiving twins too.

Tally smiled as his arm came around her. She nodded at his statement, glad that he was willing to help. She probably wouldn't actually take him up on the offer, because they weren't his babies either. She knew he was going to get mad at her if she didn't ask him ever, so maybe sometimes she'd ask if he could come hang out to help her while Gracie was napping. She nodded again with his comment about a break. She shrugged, though. It wasn't her responsibility, but it was her sister and her nieces. She wasn't going to leave them alone when they needed help. She shrugged lightly, "No special occasion, just missed you… A lot." She accepted his kiss, glad that he'd done it. She had been longing for that kiss for a while. "I can't wait until summer either. That sounds fantastic, all spring break…"
She heard Tess' scream and smiled lightly, she knew that she didn't sound happy, but figured that Tess would be glad she got the extra sleep later that night. Hey, Tess. Did you sleep well?" she asked, not expecting an answer. She laughed lightly and shook her head, "Tess, really, it's not a big deal, we were talking and watching him."
Tally laughed again as she left, it turned into a small giggle after Tess was out of earshot. She took the kiss, loving it. She shrugged, "Honestly I don't care. You don't have to spend anything on me, because I've been terrible lately, not coming to see you or making any time for you. It's stupid, honestly." She leaned into him, "I can't believe you even still like me." She smiled, to show she was just kidding, and she knew that he still liked her. "Seriously, though, I just want to be around you. Wherever you want to go is fine."

Zane chuckled. "I haven't exactly been around or Mr. Wonderful either and it's only fair that I make up for all the time I haven't spent with you." He put his arm around her. "I love you darling, time apart isn't going to change that, especially when I've been doing the exact same thing you have." He kissed her cheek. "What about if we grab something to eat and then come back here and watch a movie?" He kissed her cheek again. "I don't have a room mate anymore..." He made a face and then laughed at himself. "I guess you knew that though, I didn't have one the last time you were over either."

Tally shrugged lightly, "Yeah, I guess we're both at fault in this one. I just miss you." She smiled as his arm came around her lightly and when he spoke, her grin grew even wider. "I love you too," she said softly, letting her face turn so that half of it was against his chest. She loved just sitting there, but she was up for eating or pretty much whatever he wanted to do. She nodded, "That sounds good to me. I haven't eaten in a while. I'm starting to get hungry." She giggled at his statement, knowing that he didn't have a roommate anymore, but finding it cute that he mentioned it to her. "I do know, but it doesn't hurt to remind me." She looked up at him and leaned up a little to press a soft kiss to his lips. "Where do you want to eat?"

"Pizza sound good, or you more in the mood for milkshakes and burgers?" He couldn't help but be addicted to Palmer's Diner. "I like that you don't mind that I reminded you of my lack of room mate, makes me feel less like an idiot for bringing it up again." He wrapped his arms around her as she leaned into him and accepted the kiss she'd offered him. He continued to kiss her after speaking and was almost ready to say, forget eating, they'd live...but his stomach grumbled and he knew he needed to eat something.

Tally shook her head, "Nah, that's what we got last time. Pizza sounds good to me. Palmers is truly fantastic, though..." She smiled as he continued to kiss her, moving her hand up to his neck. She didn't really care if they went to eat anything or not, but then she heard his stomach growl and she pulled away, giving a light giggle as she did. "Now, Zane. Have you been neglecting your tummy? I think you're hungry and I know that if you had it your way, we would just stay here and make out, but you need to eat or your stomach will hate me forever."

Zane grinned. "I was planning on eating when Tess got up, Gage has a bad habit of wanting everything you have now, so if I would have made something, he would have begged until I gave it all to him." He laughed. "It's funny, but not good for the filling of the stomach." He nodded and after one last kiss to her lips, he got up. "Pizza it is and then I want some kisses to make up for the wasted time." He winked and offered his hand.

Tally laughed at his story ab out the little boy. She shook her head, "Well I guess he's right about that age. You know, you could just say no and give him tiny bites..." She shrugged lightly and shook her head lightly again. She returned his kiss and smiled. "Alright, I am perfectly fine with that. I want to more than make up for the wasted time." She smiled and took his hand, standing as she did. She squeezed his hand and started with him out of the house.
