"He's such a sweet little dude. I'm sure there's an explanation. Everything will work out, I'm sure Mommy. Don't worry" Chele said hugging her. "Mom she's right, there has to be an explanation. Do you want me to check on him?" Kaitlyn asked. "Kaitlyn that's it. You go sit with him. He worships you. Maybe he'll tell you and we won't have to hold an inquisition." Diana asked. "Sure Mom I'll go talk to him about the wedding, see how he feels about it and maybe this will come up. Don't worry Mom." Kaitlyn and Chele hugged her once more each one kissing a cheek they turned to find Walker smiling at the sight. "Love her Daddy." Kaitlyn whispered as she pecked his cheek. "I get one too." Chele declared as she pecked his cheek again and she headed after Kaitlyn trying so hard not to react to the look in Taylor's eyes. "Be still my heart." she thought as she passed him and headed towards Kaitlyn's room. "Chele are we still on for tonight, I mean this didn't change your mind about going out with me. Please tell me it didn't?" Taylor pleaded. "Taylor, hun, let's see how this turns out. Your Mom looked pretty shook hun, maybe she'll need us around for support and I know you'd even give up a chance to show me off to your friends for your family and don't try and tell me you wouldn't." Chele said. "You're right. My family is everything to me, how'd you know?" Taylor asked. "It's written all over your face hun. You cared so much, when Jessy pulled up Mackie's jeans and we realized he was the one, I thought you were going to say everything was yours to protect him." Chele said. "Chele I was thinking about just that, if I tell them it's mine, what would Chele think of me. How'd you know?" Taylor asked puzzled. "I don't know Taylor, hun it's just what I felt when I looked at your face, he's going to say it's his so Mom doesn't get mad at Mackie. Taylor I'm sure things will work out. Try not to worry so." Chele said touching his face and she was lost in his eyes. "Chele would you hug me?" Taylor asked. "Of course I would." she answered stepping close to him wrapping an arm around his waist and the other over a shoulder and softly drew herself to him. "God you smell good, you feel good. Look world I'm hugging Taylor Hanson." Chele thought then she drew her head back, "Taylor please try not to worry, I'm sure it will turn out okay." she said as she tenderly kissed his cheek. "Thanks Chele I feel better hearing you say that." Taylor said squeezing her tight. "Oh God Taylor whatever you do don't move. My towel just came undone. I'll just die. God don't let this happen. Oh no, I can't reach it your arms in the way but don't move I think it's all that's keeping it from falling. K-it help!" Chele cried. "Kaitlyn please my towel." Chele cried "My what a picture. I really didn't know you cared Chele, you never let on." Kaitlyn said reaching between them and fixing Chele's towels. "Boy what I don't do for you. There. I suggest you get dressed. Taylor I'll take one of those hugs, I'm sure Chele won't mind?" Kaitlyn said. "Sure Sis. What you going to say to him sis?" Taylor asked hugging her and holding her tight. "I don't think I'll say much hun. I'm going to listen I think just like this. What's the look in your eye about? If it's not being to nosy?" Kaitlyn asked. "She's beautiful, sexy, funny, smart, caring, gorgeous, talented! I think she's too good to be true." Taylor said. "She's real Taylor, she and Jessy are two of the most real people I know. You know they have to be special if I let them love me. I don't trust too many people." Kaitlyn said. "I love you Kaitlyn." Taylor said kissing her forehead. "I know, you're my big brother and you hug me and kiss me when I need to be strong to see what's up in Mackie's world. I guess I should stop putting this off." Kaitlyn said rapping on the door. "Chele keep and eye on Taylor for me?" Kaitlyn asked. "What?" Chele asked opening the door. "You heard me maid of honor. Taylor means the world to me and I have to worry about Mackie right now, so I'm asking that you worry and look after Taylor for me is all." Kaitlyn asked with a worried look on her face. "Sure K-it. Don't worry I'm sure there's a reason. I know it's not what it looks like. Please don't worry." Chele said drawing her in and hugging her. "Wow like the dress." Kaitlyn said. "Thanks um Taylor you can come in and wait I'm almost finished, just have to fix my hair and put on shoes." Chele said pulling Kaitlyn to the dresser to grab a tissue. "Hey look. Awww K-it! Isn't that adorable. Give me one of those I'm going to cry." Chele said pointing out the window. "Awww" Kaitlyn said "Baby Jane, Uncle Zac likes Jessy." "Taylor come look hun." Chele said turning and extending a hand. Taylor took Chele's hand and she pulled him close and pointed out the window to Zac holding Jessy's hand leading her around the backyard. "Way to go Zac." Taylor said as Chele tilted her head back to see the expression on his face. "Well this is a good sign, I'm going to hang with my little brother." Kaitlyn said hugging and kissing them both and heading for the door. She stopped and looked back and gasped at the sight of Taylor standing behind Chele, his arms wrapped around her, his head resting on hers. "Thank you God." she whispered and made her way upstairs.
No Isaac in his room, the bathroom door closed, "Probably Mackie still." Kaitlyn thought and decided to wait for him in his room and headed the rest of the way down the hall. The closer she got to his room, she heard something, crying. At the door she saw Mackie wrapped in a towel, laying on his bed crying into his pillow. Kaitlyn softly lowered herself beside him, "Sweet Mackie, what's so wrong that it makes you cry. Tell me, I'll help make it better. I promise. I love you Mackie I can't bear to see you cry." Kaitlyn said stroking his hair and rocking him softly in her arms. "Oh Kaitlyn now you won't marry me?" Mackie cried. "But Mackie I'm marrying Isaac baby, you know that, I love him with all my heart and soul." she said. "But you said you love me." he cried. "I do baby, I do love you, it's just a different kind of love honey. You know like Zac, Tay. Isaac and the girls love you, as their brother. I love you, you're my baby brother, you're my best bud. But the love I feel for Isaac is deeper it not just my heart that loves him like I love you, my soul loves him. Do you know what your soul is?" Kaitlyn asked and Mackie shook his head no. "Your soul is what makes you, you. It makes you cry, smile, sad, happy, blue, you know all the emotions. It's what you treat special so you are special. Some people treat their soul bad and they turn into bad people. Well I love your brother with every part of me even my soul. Actually my soul belongs to God but I trust Isaac so much and love him so much that I trust him with my soul." she said kissing his cheek. "Mackie why did you say now I won't marry you? I wasn't going to marry you before honey, I'm marrying Isaac and you know that." Kaitlyn asked. "But I got you a ring and some money to buy you priddy things, and some candles and matches and you would have married me but now they're gone." Mackie said hiding his face. "You got all that for me. You must like me a lot to do all that for me. Where did you go the store?" Kaitlyn asked. "No I not go to the store, me don't dribe Kaitlyn. Me got the money from Isaac, I figgered it was for you anyway, and from Mommy I got you a ring, she loves you so I knew she wouldn't mind, and I got pertession from Tay, well he threw dem at Ike but Ike said he didn't need em cuz you having baby Jane." Mackie said. "Wow you did all that for me. Mackie it makes me feel so special that you would do that but if I marry you, I won't be able to marry Isaac and that would make me so sad. I think my soul might just die, if I couldn't marry Isaac. Just thinking about it makes me cry. I love him so much I can't bear to think of not being with him. And baby Jane, she couldn't be with her Daddy if I married you. Poor baby Jane." Kaitlyn said with such sadness. "Don't cry Kaitlyn, it's okay you marry Isaac, don't be sad. I marry someone else. Don't cry pwease." Mackie said desperately. "But Mackie will you be happy if I marry Isaac and not you. I don't want you to be unhappy. I love you too, just not like I love Isaac." Kaitlyn said. "I be happy if you are happy." Mackie said. "I promise I'll be happy if I can marry Isaac. Clarke Isaac Hanson that is." Kaitlyn said. "You know what, I think we ought to get you dressed and go find all your stuff you got me so I would marry you and return it, okay? You're not going to need now because I'm going to marry your brother. What do you think?" Kaitlyn asked "I guess so, they'll be mad now that I'm not marrying you they'll say I stole it." Mackie said. "I'll go with you and help explain, and if you get punished I'll take half of your punishment, you did it for me." Kaitlyn said. "Okay me do it." Mackie said. Kaitlyn rose and headed to the dresser throwing him a pair of underpants and socks, "Put those on and I'll find you something nice to wear. If we dress up a little maybe they won't get so mad at us." Kaitlyn said picking out a shirt and pair of dress pants and grabbing his boots. "Where did you last see everything?" she asked. "In my pants in the bathroom." Mackies answered. "Oh oh. I saw Zac and Tay bring down dirty clothes, do you think the picked them up. Oh no I hope they didn't put them in the washer." Kaitlyn said. "Oh no, me be in trouble." Mackie said. "Let's get you dressed and I'll go see." Kaitlyn said helping him dress. "Looking good, little dude. How do I look?" Kaitlyn asked. "You priddy." Mackie smiled and she smiled back "Let's go and see if I can find everything." Kaitlyn said.
Isaac was standing in the doorway as they turned to leave. "Me sorry. I didn't mean to, I just needed it so Kaitlyn would marry me. But she loves you." Mackie cried and Isaac picked him up and hugged him tight. "Don't cry Mack. What's wrong do you love Kaitlyn too. That's okay if you do. I don't mind, she's pretty special. So I understand other people loving her. It's just she loves me and I love her a special way." Isaac said. "I know you got souls that love each other too." Mackie said. "Yeah dude you're awfully smart about these things, are you married?" Isaac asked. "No me too young I decide now." Mackie said. "I sorry Kaitlyn me don't want to get married no more." Mackie said. "Oh Mackie, I understand I guess. I love you still even though you don't want to marry me." Kaitlyn sighed. "I'm going to go see if I can find your stuff in the laundry room so we can return it. Isaac clean his face and bring him down please. I love you." Kaitlyn asked kissing Mackie. "Hey what about me?" Isaac said. "Yeah what about me brother?" Mackie asked. "Oh all right." Kaitlyn said kissing Isaac and smiling. "She's happy now." Mackie said and she headed downstairs. "Oh Mom you won't believe it. He got the ring, money, candles, matches and pertession because he wanted to marry me. He wanted to be like his big brother. I've got to get everything, he's coming with Isaac to apologize to all of you." Kaitlyn said running down the hall stopping first to grab Zac's knife, then the rest searching for the candles, birthday candles in his back pocket. She reached the kitchen as Isaac brought him down the stairs, "Isaac over here" Kaitlyn said and he walked over to her and put Mackie down. "Open the trash compactor Mackie. This is what I found. We know you shouldn't have taken matches, don't we?" she asked. "But Kaitlyn what if you didn't have none." Mackie said "That's good reasoning Mackie but you know not to touch them and you did. I think you owe Mommy and Daddy an apology for doing something you knew was wrong and a promise that even if it means losing me, you won't do something you know is wrong again. Don't you?" she asked. "Yes Kaitlyn." he said. "Throw them away and our romantic candles, they're broken now. And the protection, you won't be needing that for a long time, promise me." she asked. "Yes Kaitlyn I not going to marry no one for a long time." he said. "I don't think you should have taken a knife either, do you? I think you better give it back to whomever you took it from and tell them you're sorry." she said and Mackie took the knife to Zac and apologized. "Hey I understand loving somebody dude, you'll be okay? Someday you'll find someone else as special as Kaitlyn but it'll be even better. I promise." Zac said hugging him, then sending him back to Kaitlyn as he took Jessy's hand and they smiled at each other. "Walker look at that." Diana said. "I know mother I saw his head over heels look earlier. Remind you of anyone." Walker asked. "The way I looked at you when we were their age." she answered hugging him tight. "Now the money. You should have asked him honey, not just taken it. You know he loves you and would always help you but I'm afraid when we tell him he's going to be so hurt that you just took it. Just ask him to forgive you that you know better but you thought I would marry you if you had money, he might understand wanting someone to love you and marry you. Be strong for me. You can do this I know you can, here I'll hold you. When did you get so heavy." Kaitlyn groaned trying to pick him up. "Isaac honey please pick him up for me?" Kaitlyn asked. "Sure hun you okay?" Isaac asked picking up Mackie then rubbing her back. "Ohhh I'll take one of those later. Okay Mackie tell him." Kaitlyn said hugging and kissing Mackie. "Isaac I took your money so Kaitlyn would marry me not you. I sorry I shouldn't took it. I'm sorry." he cried. "Oh Mackie you must have loved her a lot to do all of this to get her to marry you. I hope you don't hate me because I'm going to marry her. But she's my whole life Mackie there's no way I'm letting anyone, even you, marry her, I am." Isaac said hugging him tight and rocking him until he stopped crying.
"Kaitlyn" Taylor screamed racing to her before she tumbled to the floor. "Zac the door. Come on Kaitlyn breathe. No passing out. Come one Kaitln." Taylor yelled. "Kaitlyn wake up now or smelling salts. " Isaac said and she started shaking her head no. "Then open those eyes. One, two... better. God this scares me. I can't wait until we see the doctor in the morning." Isaac said pulling him to her and hugging her. "Isaac I'm hungry now. Oh Mackie, he has to return this yet." Kaitlyn said opening her fist and the ring laid on her palm. "Isaac please help him finish apologize to the folks. Please Tay and Chele will take care of me. He's probably thinking I passed out because of him, tell him it's not his fault. Please." Kaitlyn pleaded. "When am I going to learn to say no to you?" Isaac complained. "Taylor I can get up now." she said as Isaac pulled her to her feet and a kiss. "Chele Mom has some cheeze and of course pickles in the fridge, come on I'll show you." Isaac said wrapping an arm around her. "Isaac she'll be okay, she's a tuffy. Man she danced on a sprained ankle once. No one knew until the final curtain and she keeled over in pain." Chele explained.
"Kaitlyn I'm worried about you." Taylor said. "Taylor I'm scared but I can't tell Isaac he's already so worried. What's wrong with me. One minute I'm fine, and than I just bottom out, no warning. Down I go." Kaitlyn cried as Taylor wrapped her in his arms. "I don't know sis. We'll find out tomorrow. It'll be all right God couldn't be this cruel." and they cried together. "What's all the tears for, Taylor, Kaitlyn you're scaring me. What's wrong." Chele asked sitting the plate and glass down. "We don't know Chele, but we'll ask the doctor in the morning. Until then we can't just mope around, you eat Kaitlyn. Come on." Taylor said sitting her down and sitting next to her. "K-it. What do you think it is, how does it feel when it happens to you?" Chele asked. "You saw me I was fine, emotional but fine, I wasn't hungry, woozy, nothing but fine. Then wham and I try and kiss the floor." Kaitlyn said. "Are you always hungry when it's over?" Chele asked playing with her hair. "Dunno, I guess, I'm trying to remember a time I wasn't like starved." Kaitlyn said stuffing her mouth. "God Kaitlyn you look like I feel right before my monthly, Kaitlyn that's it! When horomones surge. It's that simple. Think about it, remember way back last month when you weren't pregnant. What happens right before you start your period. You get the major munchies and why beause you're not pregnant and you get a horomone surge. It's their way of getting even because you don't need them. Isn't it wonderful being a woman." Chele teased. "Chele if I wasn't pregnant I'd be starting any day now. I think you got something. But how do I stop from bottoming out like I have?" she asked. "Kaitlyn you haven't eaten since the pancakes and that was three hours after you got up and four hours since then. In eight hours you've only had one meal. What if you ate around the clock, you know never let yourself get empty?" Taylor asked. "That's great Tay, I think he has something K-it now we need and reminder system so every hour you know to stop and snack.
"Zac come here. Hey get me your yellow watch that bleeps every hour for Kaitlyn to use. We're trying an experiment." Taylor asked. "Yeah now to just find it. I hid it in a box in the closet it drove me crazy. It's almost the hour, I better get up there. Jessy can you help me find something. Hurry. Come with me." Zac said grabbing her hand and racing up the stairs, leading her to his room. "Here stand right here and listen for an alarm on a watch you know bleep bleep. Listen it's in a box in one of these closets but I don't know which. Any time now." Zac explained as he moved to the other closet. "Bleep Bleep Bleep" Jessy heard, "Zac it's over here somewhere, but I can't tell you where exactly." Jessy reported and they started opening boxes and Zac told her what she was looking for. "Ohh this is cruel. Dirty socks in a box." Jessy complained. "That's it. I stuffed socks around it so I wouldn't hear it. Your're wonderful." Zac said kissing her taking them both by surprise. "I, I'm not sorry I've wanted to do that for so long now." Zac said lost in her eyes as she smiled. "Me too." she whispered as she pressed her lips to his again, dropping the box and wrapping her arms around his neck, kissing him harder as Zac moaned her name. "Jessy" "What Zac." Jessy whispered as she kissed him again. "You're her." Zac whispered back. "I'm glad, her who?" she whispered back. "The one I've dreamed about. The one I've been waiting for. I know you are." Zac whispered and swallowed hard. "Jessy do you believe some things are meant to happen?" "I guess so Zac, you mean like everything has a reason for being, happening. Yeah Zac I guess I do." Jessy said. "Well you are what's meant for me. I know it in my heart. I'm going to convince you that you know it too." Zac said kissing her with what he felt for her in his heart. "Zac, I've never felt this way before, it's scary but nice." Jessy said. "Yeah scary but nice." he said kissing her again his arms drawing her closer. "Jessy I have to stop now, or I won't be able to." Zac said. "Oh no, I was really liking this but if you say so. I'll trust you Zac" Jessy said. "Jessy I promise I'll never hurt you, at least I'll never mean too." Zac promised. They found the watch and Jessy made him put the dirtly socks in the laundry. They were laughing when they came down the stairs, hand in hand and everyone stopped and stared. "What?" Jessy asked looking to Zac for an answer. "What?" he asked. "Nothing son, you two just look so happy we're all a little jealous." Walker said. They made their way to Taylor and handed him the watch.
The six sat discussing things to help Kaitlyn. Jessy and Chele headed to the kitchen making up little snack baggies to help Kaitlyn. "They always have fun like that Kaitlyn. I mean she seems to put her heart into everything" Zac asked. "Yeah Zac she does. Even the crappiest of things, we were stuck in the mud on this outing we went on in the Alps. Dressed to kill, she takes off her shoes and stockings and tucks her dress up and gets out in mud up past her ankles, pretty soon she convinced us all there was nothing wrong with it. We finally pushed the car out and found this little brook to wash off in, made it to dinner and had a great time. I mean you should have seen the guys faces. Oh Zac it wasn't like that. You know guys want to be seen with pretty girls, that's all it is. Jessy thought all guys were yucky and only a way to dinner, dancing and the theatre. Yeah that's shallow but them wanting to be seen with her isn't. Hypocrits. Isaac talk to your brother. His narrow mind is going to lose him the most special thing that's ever going to happen to him." Kaitlyn said making her way to the house and the girls.
The minister came for rehersal and it was utter chaos, Kaitlyn was relieved when the watch sounded. "I'm going to eat. You decide I don't care about anything except the end result, we're married." Kaitlyn said throwing her hands up in the air and marched to the kitchen. Things were finally settled and after minister left "Dad I was wondering if I could take Chele and go to a party at Ash's, just a little get together?" Taylor asked. "Son you know I'm not taking any chances, you'd have to take a guard. See if Rick is willing to go." he said "Oh Dad it's Ash's we'll be fine." Taylor argued. "That's the deal take it of leave it." Walker said. Taylor talked to Rick and then explained to Chele. "Taylor I don't care hun. It's your call, but I'm touched that your Dad cares the way he does. I sure hope you're a lot like him. I think he's about it." Chele said hugging Taylor then asked about Jessy and Zac coming along. "Zac man we're going to Ash's to hang a while, small group. You two want to come along with the three of us?" Tay asked and explained Rick. Jessy and Zac decided to go. Kaitlyn was curled in Isaac's lap, "Hun you want to go too? I haven't seen Ash yet it'll be a hoot." Kaitlyn said. "Tay mind if we go?" Isaac asked. "That'd be great Ash has been dying to see Kaitlyn." Taylor said. "I have to change there's no way I'm wearing a dress around Ash." Kaitlyn laughed and the guys were soon roaring, remembering Ash's Marilyn Monroe experiment on Kaitlyn at church. "Me neither, the way you're laughing. Wait up K-it." Jessy and Chele called..
