One Thing Leads To Another...

[Guest]

Well right now her fic is set in 2007 because of the storylines. So it makes sense.

Ok thanks Drew and yay I am still here and will read it lol can't wait

[SfanS]

Okay, I am being very confusing here, aren't I?

Okay, I'm writing it THIS year, but in the fanfic, it is Nine months later...in 2008 somewhere...because the last one, Annabelle would've ben born about...April 2007. Does that make sense? Here's the chapt.: (P.S. Sorry for being so confuzzling)

Chapter 25: 9 months from where we left off

Confused

Hurt

Unsure

Wanted

Everyone should be loved

Everyone should be wanted....

For some's case...a little TOO loved, a little TOO wanted

{Flashback}

Amanda queitly prayed to herself to have Dan...

Leah wished upon a star to find out who she loved...

Dan tried and tried to get Leah back...

And Peter....loved Leah...

{end of flashback}

Leah had gone to Greece for 8 months, saying she needed to get away. There wasn't a day that she didn't think of what had happened, and how to solve it...her thoughts never actually came up with a solution. Peter and Dan both stayed off women, they were both waiting for Leah. Amanda tried to charm her way into Dan. She had almost convinced him...although he was drunk. She told him she went away because of him, and everything. She knew he wouldn't remember it, but they slept together anyway.

Both Rachel and Martha were heavily pregnant by now. Martha, who had been through it before with Riley, still wasn't coping. It was hard for her to say Goodbye to Jack, he had been her life. There was NO way she was ready to move on, no matter what SCott thought.

Scott had made a sleazy move on her, a few months after they came back from their trip. He was drunk, but it was no excuse. He was totally up-himself, saying that she just HAD to dig him. He forced himself onto her, but thank god, KIm and Hayden came and rescued her from the jerk. Unfortunately, it also involved Scott getting a black eye, and Kim being shoved into a wall, but it served Scott right to be such a sleazy jerk.

Martha grimaced at the thought of him. SO not her type. Why did she sleep with him in the first place? Sometimes she was SO stupid! Like she wasted so much TIME with Jack! Those moments of on and offs, they were so precious...and she stuffed it all up. She could feel the baby kicking. She sighed. It wasn't long now. She and Rachel had been planning how their baby's were going to be best friends and all. Rachel had said that if it were a boy and girl, they could fall in love and get married eventually. "Arranged marriage!"she had cried, laughing. Martha shook her head at the memory. She was so envious of Rachel at times. Right now, she had quite a bit of good money that she and KIm had saved, and she had someone to support her through all this.

Annabelle giggled with delight as KIm chased her though the sand. "Dadd--EEEE!!!"She squealed happily as he picked her up, hanging her in the air. Martha stared on. She reminded herself once again, her baby would never have a fatherly figure like Annabelle did, and Ella did. She got angry at that moment, and stormed off. She wasn't angry with a particular person, it wasn't Annabelle's fault she had a father...

Leah quickly rushed VJ into the house with their suitcases, shutting the door behind her. She was still so stressed about the Dan and Peter thing, she didn't want to have to deal with that right now. She had no idea what was happening in her mind. So she called her two best friends over, who would hopefully talk some sense into her. She prayed that Rachel was home as she dialled the number, she really needed her firend right now...

Martha rushed into the house in tears. There wasn't a particular reason she went to the Hunter/Holden house, she just went there for comfort. Beth and Lucas and the rest had gradually dealt with their hard loss. Not Martha though. Beth held her arms open for Martha, as Martha collapsed into them, shedding tear after tear. She couldn't go on like this, so depressed, so sad, so upset. She couldn't raise her kids like that. Beth made her sit down, take some deep, long breaths, and tell her the WHOLE story...

"Well...sorry Martha, but when you think about it, Ella and Annabelle don't have it ABSOLUTELY perfect" Beth told her. Martha gave her a strange look, as if to say, "You're kidding me, right?"

"Martha, what I'm saying is, is just think about it. Annabelle has to go back and forth between houses, she has TWO sets of parents, TWO sets of relatives and TWO sets of brothers and sisters eventually. I'm not saying that she's worse than not having a father, but it's a bit tough...but you should encourage your child to make the MOST of life, you know? Try not to be too cynical Martha, it';ll work out in the end. And, as for Ella, Robbie isn't her real father, I know she has Robbie, but...you know" Beth said her little speech, and, she didn't know it, but it really changed Martha's view...of everything.

Leah walked across the beach. VJ had gone to see Pippa and Sally, she was minding him for her. Suddenly, a figure jogged up to her...Peter. Confused, Leah did one thing. Not run, for once in her life. She kissed him...

Martha was walking home, when all of a sudden, she felt a sharp pain acros her stomach...

Please review! Sorry for being so annoying the last few days!

[~Rosey~]

[Guest]

Lol this is great and you sure typed fast

[shen]

Great start! This fic is just so addictive lol Update soon (can we expect another update tonight perhaps? )

[Drew]

Did you really end this fic at all?

Great chapter. Glad to see you're using more characters

[SfanS]

Nup...I was going to, but I thought, "I've got all this going, why should I?" it was mainly coz I just got sick of it for awhile...

Anyways!

Chapter 26: Jake is back again!!

Martha stopped for a minute, in confusion, as the pain went away. She shook her head and kept walking. That was weird.

" Leah?" Peter asked, after he pulled away from their passionate kiss. Standing from at the top of the beach, Dan could see the two figures kissing in their embrace, and it wasn't hard to see who they were. He had seen everything. Leah had made the first move, she had officially gone for his brother, while he was left with nothing. He could practically feel his heart breaking, and he felt so much pain...Dan ran off, anywhere, as he couldn't bare to keep watching, it hurt too much....

" I want you Pete" Leah told him. Peter didn't know if she was confused, or she really meant it, but gave in to her, as they kissed again, before thunder crackled, lightning struck, and the rain came pouring down...

Dan was dripping wet. He had found himself at Amanda's house, he had taken himself there...was this a sign?

"Rain, rain, go away, never come again a day" Annabelle sang, and Kit quietly giggled in the backround. "Hello?" Rachel called, as she knocked on the door, inviting herself in.

"hey!" Kit exclaimed, as Annabelle turned around to see Rachel. Annabelle would've usually gone up and hugged her, but now that Rachel was pregnant, Annabelle had been rather touchy with rachel and Kim. Annabelle just continued looking out the window, singing her song. Kit rolled her eyes. " Any day now then?" Kit asked her, and Rachel nodded excitedly. " I've never been through this before, I'm just so excited to be a Mum!" Rachel exclaimed, unaware that Annabelle was listening, hurt. She thought that rachel already WAS a Mum...to her. Annabelle was smarter than everyone thought she was. She COULD understand what adults were saying.

Martha had felt the same pain a few times more that day, and it was getting worse every time, until she ended up groaning loudly, so that Alf heard her. " You're not going into labour, are you love?" he asked her. Martha shook her head, but Alf wasn't convinced...

"Dan!" Amanda said. "What a nice surprise!" she smiled at him innocently. "Gosh, you're soaked! Come inside, we'll get you warm and dry" she continued, leading him in. Dan, being half delirious and heart-broken, of course didn't know his rights and wrongs, so when he took off his shirt, and Amanda stepped closer to him, he didn't think twice...he didn't even think at all....

"Oh My God! Granddad!" Martha yelled, and Alf came rushing. "I think my water just broke!"

Pressed up close together on the wall, Amanda and Dan shared a passionate kiss. Amanda pulled him as close as she could, until the police stormed in, breaking them reluctantly apart...

Martha was rushed to hospital....

Peter and Leah arrived back at Leah's place, discussing their new found love...

"Annabelle! Anna! Come on, it's time to go to your Dad's!" Kit called, trying to get her daughter to come out of her room. "No!" Annabelle shouted back. Kit sighed. "No!" Annabelle yelled again.

"Okay, okay, just let me come in, please sweetie?" Kit tried to not sound annoyed, Annabelle was obviously upset about something. "Fine" Annabelle said...

When Kit walked in, Annabelle was sitting on the floor. She had been throwing crayons at the door, leaving faint marks. 'So that's what the thuds were... ' Kit thought to herself, sitting down next to her daughter, and pulling her into her lap. Annabelle squirmed, but kit wrapped her arms around her daughter tight, so she couldn't escape. "Now, tell me what's wrong" Kit told her daughter.

"It's not fair!" Annabelle cried. Kit sighed. This was going to be difficult.

3 hours later....

Leah and peter lay in bed...

"Congratiulations, Mrs Holden, you have a beautiful baby boy..."

Amanda held a sign up, with the details, as the police took the pitcures...

Dan waited in the police station, thinking about if what Amanda had done...and could he really love her?..

Martha sighed in relief as she held her baby boy, it was going to be okay...

Kit asked Hayden for his advice on Annabelle...she had NO idea what to do....

But Hayden had his own problems...

And Jake watched on evilly through the bachelor pad window, taking as many pitcures from all different angles of Rachel, then moving to the bathroom window, as Rachel headed in top have a shower....

_Please review!

[Adia]

OMG! Jake you weird psycho!

YAY! Pete and Leah!!! It makes me want to change my avatar back to them! Great story keep posting!

[SfanS]

Coz I feel like updating, I'm going to update!

Chapter 27: Questions, how many answers?

Rachel showered...

Jake watched...

Amanda sulked...

Dan wondered...

Baby Holden cried...

Martha sighed...

...Praying it would all be alright...

As Rachel moved out of the bathroom into another room, Jake went back out to the front. He hung out on the front veranda for awhile. He knocked over some plants, spreading dort everywhere, dropped occasional things, and somehow, no one heard. A brick was lying on the ground near his feet, and an idea went into his mind. He had to be clever, hard to get, not be caught...and make them pay...He picked up the brick, running over it with his fingers. He gripped it first, preparing himself, before hurling it through the window as hard as he could, glas shattering everywhere, as Jake prayed it had hit someone, before running off into the night, looking behind him to see them come out. Fools.

Amanda came out of the interview room, handcuffed, as Dan leapt up to see her. He asked her what was happening, but she shook her head. The truth was, she loved Dan, she really did, but what she had done 3 years ago truly was unforgiveable...she was a murderer. She was ashamed, but she did what had to be done. But she just couldn't let Dan know. She didn't want him to be ashamed too....

"Do you think we're rushing it?" Peter asked Leah, as they sat down on the lounge together. VJ was fast asleep, and it was just the two of them. Leah shook her head. "No way. I love you Pete"she said, kissing him. Peter stopped the kiss just long enough to say "I love you too" before kissing her back again...

Kim and Rachel called the police after they discovered the brick and their front yard. They also realised that in the gardens their flowers and weeds had all been pulled out and scattered everywhere. They had a look around the rest of the house until Rachel, who had gone around the side to near where the bathroom was, let out a hugh, terrified scream, so that the police AND Kim, came running...

Amanda was pushed into the cell, and the bars were jammed shut and locked securely behind her by the police.

Dan went home all mopey, wishing he knew what Amanda had done...

Jake sat their in his hideout, drawing up a plan for his plot to pay back the Bay..."Excellent"He murmured, and began to laugh evilly...

Next time:

What made Rachel scream?

Who did Amanda murder?

Will Dan REALLY give up that easily?

Why is Annabelle upset?

What is Jakes plan...

Will he succeed?

Sorry so short, please review!

[Drew]

I wonder who Amanda murdered... Three years ago huh? Was it Leo?

Martha had the baby! Ohh...

And Rachel screaming... She's in labour right? haha
