The next night,they sat on the couch watching TV.
"Rebecca,why don't we at least call home?"Zac begged,"Please?" He kissed her sweetly.
"Don't beg."
"Why?"
"Because i'll give in."
"Please?" He kissed her again,knowing that the pleading and kisses were getting to her.
"Oh ok." She picked up the phone with shaky hands.
"I'll go in the other room Baby,"Zac whispered.
"NO! I need you,stay here and hold me."
"If that's what you want." He sat back down behind her,and held her around the waist tightly. She dialed the number,breathing shallowly.
"Mom?"
"REBECCA! Where are you!?"
"Mom...calm down! I'm not telling you where i am. Zac convinced me to call you. We're ok Mom."
"Honey..come home. Please come home?"
"Mom..no. Dad won't let this go.."
"Rebecca...everyone needs you two here. Amy is having twins,and Isaac is taking it really bad." She put her hand over her mouth.
"Omigosh..Mom..when did they find out?"
"Yesterday. Rebecca,please,we'll work this out. You and Zac need to come home,we all need you here."
"Mom,Zac is gonna call Isaac. I'll talk to you tommorrow. I promise."
"I love you Rebecca,and so does your dad."
"I love you both. Bye." She hung up the phone.
"Zac..."
"What is it Babe? What's wrong?"
"Amy..Amy is having twins."
"What?!"
"Yeah..and Mom said that Ike was taking it really hard. Call him Zac."
"Ok." He picked up the phone,and Isaac answered.
"Ike?"
"Zac!"
"Isaac..i heard about Amy."
"Zac,come home!"
"I can't. Rebecca won't come home,and i can't leave her. I can't."
"Zac..i can't take this on by myself! I can't! You and Taylor are my bestfriends..and i need you both!"
"Ike.."
"Zac PLEASE?!" He collapsed into tears,causing Zac to almost. Rebecca leaned her head against his shoulder.
"We'll go home,"she whispered crying.
"You sure?"
"Yeah.."
"Isaac...can you wait just one more day?"
"You're coming home!?"
"Yeah..we're coming home."
"Thank you so much..this is really hard. I..I didn't think i could take it yesterday.."
"Isaac..listen to me..don't do anything stupid. You have a girlfriend and two babies who need you. Don't do anything stupid!"
"I'm not..but uhm..Amy is my fiance now."
"That's great!"
"I know! We're getting married in 2 weeks!"
"WHAT?!"
"Yeah..she wants to do it before she gets too big."
"This is SO cool!"
"I know..hey,i have to go put Zoe to bed. Do you want me to tell Mom and Dad?"
"NO! Just..expect us tommorrow."
"K. I love you little bro."
"Don't go gettin sentimental on me. I love you too man." They hung up. Rebecca nuzzled her head into his neck as they held eachother.
"Rebecca..Amy and Isaac are getting married in two weeks!"
"What?!"
"Yep!"
"Ohmigod! This is SO awsome!"
"I know."
"I love you Zac."
"I love you too. And thank you for going home. I..I don't know what i would have done."
"Isaac needs you...he really needs you. And i'm sure i'll get one hell of a tearfest from Amy when i get back. And i haven't talked to Kat either. But Zac,when we get to Tulsa..you have to stand beside me,and take up for me. I can't do that alone."
"You know i will. What do you excpect me to do? Sit there and watch the love of my life take shit from her dad..don't think so."
"I love you."
"I love you too." The next day,they were on the 6am flight to Tulsa. Rebecca squirmed nervously in her seat.
"Rebecca,it's gonna be ok. I promise. You know we can get through this."
"I know. I'm just nervous. But,we had to face it sometime. I'm gonna call Hailey and Nathan." She picked up the plane phone and dialed their number.
"Hailey!"
"Hi Rebecca! How are you guys?"
"Uhm..ok i guess. We're going home,we're on the plane now."
"That's wonderful!"
"Ya..i guess. Listen,tell Nathan thanks for the apartment,and thanks to both of you for everything! I'll call you soon."
"Ok! Talk to you later..and good luck."
"Thanks..i'll need it." She hung up and laid her head on Zac's shoulder.
"We're landing,"he said.
"Welp,here we go." They exited the plane,hand-in-hand,and caught a cab. As they pulled into the Hanson driveway,both of their parents came running out,along with Tay and Ike,Amy and Katherine,and the younger kids. Rebecca and Zac hugged everyone,then they all went in the house. Rebecca and Zac sat on the floor.
"Rebecca,maybe we should go into the kitchen and talk..."her dad suggested.
"Why can't you say it here? Afraid that maybe you're wrong? Afraid that maybe i'm growing up and there's nothing in this world you can do about it?!"
"That's enough young lady!"her mom yelled.
"Ya know..she's right,"Diana said,"Look at them,you can't tell me that they aren't in love. And..they're doing it safe,everything that we should have done,they are doing. They're being more responsible than us! We shouldn't be sitting here yelling at them!"
"So you think this is ok?!"Rebecca's dad ordered.
"That's not what she means..she means that we're being hypocriticle here,"Walker corrected.
"Dad,i want you to know that the only reason we came home was Isaac and Amy,that's it. I didn't wanna come here and get this lecture from you! Diana and Walker are right!"
"You can't take us away from eachother,you can't,"Zac said standing up beside Rebecca.
"We aren't trying to do that,"Diana said,"I have an idea. Why don't we just be happy that their doing all this the smart way! Look,there's no stopping them,they're gonna be together,all of you know that!"
"You're right Diana,"Rebecca's mom said. Rebecca's parents,along with Diana and Walker went to Rebecca's house. Rebecca,Zac,Taylor,Katherine,Ike,adn Amy all sat in the basement that night.
"What are their names gonna be?"Rebecca asked.
"Hope and Faith,"Isaac and Amy answered together.
"That's adorable!"Katherine squeled.
"I know..and it's perfect since you almost had that miscarriage,"Rebecca added.
"Duh Rebecca..that's where we thought of it,"Amy laughed.
"Hey Ikey,what's wrong?"Rebecca asked,seeing that he was abnormaly quiet.
"Huh? Oh,nothing. Just thinking. Anybody want a coke?" He got up.
"No." He left the room.
"Amy,is he ok?"Zac questioned.
"I don't know." Zac got up and ran up the stairs after Ike.
"Hey Ike,what's wrong?"
"Zac..i can't do this. I can't."
"Listen to me..Isaac you have a wonderful fiance and you two adorable baby girls on the way. This is what you always wanted..a family."
"But not this soon."
"Well,i can't help that. But Ike,you're fortunate,at least she loves you,and you both wanna be together. This was all gonna happen in a few years anyways."
"Zac..i can't support a family." Zac cocked his head,and looked at him.
"Well..so i can..money wise. But i can't take on that responsibility."
"Isaac..you've been doing the same thing forever. You've always watched over everyone in this house! You've had practice,you're gonna be ok. You are."
"Well,if you look at it that way.."
"I thought so. C'mon let's get some cokes and go back down." They grabbed some chips and cokes and walked back downstairs.
"Oh! Amy,do you have a wedding dress?"Katherine asked.
"No..i've been waiting for Miss Runaway to get home!"
"Oh..yeah,well..ya know. We can go tommorrow."
"Ok..we'll go into Oklahoma City."
"That's cool,"Katherine said. Rebecca laid with her head on Zac's stomach,and her body between his legs. He ran his fingers across her shoulders and arms.
"I'm so glad we're home,"he whispered to her.
