Love In New York (Sequel Forgive me, Help me, Be with me) {Completed}

Chapter 18

-Holly pov-
It's been a great month of school. I teach a great a great group of kids! I have a fun time being here. I honestly do.

It's such a great state to live in. Not what I think of when I think family though. I mean maybe mafia but not parents and kids. But hey I can take being proven wrong.

But I can't help notice some differences in everyone. I mean in everyone in our family has been off. I thought the pregnancy would bring happiness! Instead everyone seems to be quietly stewing.

Rachel started it by missing school days more. She hasn't missed enough to get kicked out yet. Snixx has though and she's fine with it. Surprisingly everyone is fine with it.

Today's my birthday and I know they are planning something. It's something to make it feel normal. To make everyone forget their secret pain. But when I blow out the candles...there will be no hiding.

I look at my last class of kids leave and smile. Elementary students are so cool honestly. They can be a bit rowdy but that comes with innocence and energy. Oh how I would love to be their ages again.

"Hey Holly" I look up and see the principal walk in "We have decided to give you a gift you need"

"What's that?" She hands me a envelope and I open it "I'm fired? On my birthday?"

"You need to talk to your family" I look up and see Mrs. Downey giving me a serious look "You love these kids and you're family but...I don't think you love New York! Why raise your kid somewhere you don't wanna be?"

"Cause my fiancés and family are here" I sit down and she sits beside me "I don't wanna leave them if they are happy"

She put a arm around my shoulder "What if they weren't?" I look up at her and she raises a eyebrow "Then what?"

"Well" I look down at my non showing stomach and put my hand on it "I'd leave with them..go back home"

"We love having you here" She stands up and gives me a big smile "But we want you to be happy"

"Thanks" I stand up and we share a hug "Do I at least get a goodbye cake?"

"Oh yeah" We break apart laughing "Let's get you to the teachers lounge then you home"

I nod and follow her out. I guess I have something to bring to the table tonight. I hope I don't ruin their party plans. I just don't want everyone to be unhappy.

I think I have the perfect song for this.

-Time skip-
I'm sitting in the drive way currently. I have a game plan ready to go. I just don't wanna ruin anything. I know how they can be with parties. I know they probably have this all figured out.

I take a deep breath and get out of the car. I think over my plan as I open the door. Everyone deserves to be happy. Kids raised in unhappy environments don't grow up happy.

I don't want our kids to be bad. I don't want them to feel unloved. It's not too late for Amelia, Juniper, and Judith. We can still give them happy lives.

I open the door and look at the dark room. This was a surprise birthday. I take another deep breath and step forward. Here goes nothing I guess.

"SURPRISE!"

"Thank you!" I smile and walk up to everyone "I see everyone is here!"

"Of course!" Shelby smiles "Why wouldn't they be?"

"Just didn't know" I keep my smile up and get lead to the cake. This is sooner than I thought "Uhh cake first?"

"Yeah!" Santana smiles "Need to get that wish out!"
