"ZAAAACCCCCC!!!"Rebecca squealed jumping into his arms.

"I missed you Babe,"he whispered.

"I missed you too." She kissed him then jumped down.

"Ya know,you made it just in time for my birthday!"

"I know,your birthday is tommorrow,and yes,i have you a present."

"How'd you know what i was gonna ask?"

"You ask that before every one of your birthdays."

"Oh,I guess i do." Everyone picked up the luggage and walked into the Hanson house.

"HOME!"Ike yelled running up the stairs. The other two guys followed and they all raced to their room.

"Do you really love your beds that much?"Katherine asked standing in the doorway with Amy.

"KATHERINE!"

"AMY!" As the others said hello,Rebecca helped Mackie unpack.

"Did you have fun?"

"Kind of,but Zac was always too busy to play with me."

"Yeah,they were recording."

"And there was this stupid girl named Anna,she was stupid."

"I know,i heard about her."

"She wanted to kiss Zac."

"Oh really?"

"Yeah,i saw them on the porch and she was walking over to him then she tried to kiss him."

"What did he do?"

"He put his hand up,then walked away,and said something that i can't say."

"Oh,ok."

"Hey Rebecca?"

"Yeah Tay?"

"Are you having a party or anything for your birthday?"

"No,i really don't know what i'm gonna do."

"Mom and Dad said that they would take all of us out to eat dinner somewhere."

"That would be great."

"Alright,you and your parents come over at 7. K?"

"Okay."

******************************Feb 3(the next day)***************************

Rebecca woke up at 10 to the telphone ring.

"Hello?"

"Rebecca!"

"Andrea! I haven't talked to you since i left."

"I know. How are you?"

"Great. You? And how are things back in North Carolina?"

"I'm good. Things here are the same. What about Tulsa?"

"It's awsome!"

"Are you going out with anyone?"

"Kinda."

"Uh oh,who is it?"

"I can't tell you."

"Why not?"

"Ok,but you have to promise not to tell."

"I promise."

"Zac Hanson." There was a loud squeal on the other end of the line.

"Andrea! SSSHHHH!"

"Oh,sorry. Are you really going our with him?"

"Yes. Do you remember those pictures i showed you of me when i was younger?"

"Yeah,and there was 3 guys with you,and i knew they looked familiar,but i couldn't figure out how i would know them. It was HANSON!"

"Yeah...but don't tell. That's the last thing i need. I've been through hell already."

"Why?"

"Well first there's this bitch whore that he was going out with when i first got back. And we ended up in a cat fight over him."

"You won?"

"Yeah,he decided that he loved me,andt hat he was just like physicaly attracted to her for a few weeks. Then Amy,who is going out with Ike,got pregnant."

"Omigod! You're kidding?"

"No,but they're keeping the baby,and getting married when she turns 18. Anyways,so that kind of scared me and i broke up with Zac. But then i said i was sorry and we got back together when we were at the track and he was gonna race. Then during the race,this older guy that likes me almost killed Zac,on purpose. And while they were recording,there was another girl named Anna coming onto Zac. So,it's just been insane."

"How do you stand it?"

"It's not that bad. We get through whatever problems come up."

"That's great. I'm happy for you. Sorry,but i have to go. Happy birthday."

"Thanks."

"Call me sometime. Bye."

"Bye." Rebecca jumped out of bed and into the shower. She passed the day by watching tv and trying to find her present. While looking through the closet,she found some old pictures. Her eyes fell upon her dad's parents. They lived in California,and she only saw them abotu every 2 years,but they always sent her a birthday present. She put the picture up and looked at the time.

"Omigosh! It's almost 6!" She ran to her room and started invading her closet. Pants or dress she wondered. She slipped on a long black skirt and a long-sleeved black DKNY shirt. Then she looked in the mirror,casual,but still a skirt. Perfect. She curled her blond locks into banana curls,then put on her make-up. At 7 her mom walked in.

"You almost ready Honey?"

"Yeah,almost."

"Ok,we're going to Elvalquero."

"Yes,i love Mexican food."

"I know. Well,come on,let's go." Rebecca and her parents walked across the street to the Hanson's house. All of them loaded into the van,and the 6 teens got into Ike's car. They arrived within 15 minutes. The seating went like this...Walker,Diana,Mackie,Avery,Jessica,Isaac,and Amy on one side,then,Rebecca's parents,Rebecca,Zac,Taylor,and Katherine. Zoe's highchair was on the end.

"Well Rebecca,do you wanna open your presents?"Diana asked.

"Yeah!" She grabbed the present from her parents first.

"This is that Roxy jacket that i wanted so bad! Thank you so much!" She got clothed from the Hansons' and a beautiful necklace from Zac.

"Here,this is from your grandparents." Her mom handed her a box about the size of a shoe box. She opened it suspiciously. On top was a note. 'Dear Rebecca, We're very sorrry that we can't be there for your birthday. Since you'll officialy be a teenager this year,we thought that we would get you something nice. We're willing to take you to Paris,France and London,England. Is that ok? We love you with all of our hearts. -Grandma and Grandpa'.

"Omigosh! I'm going to Euprope!!!" She jumped up and started twirling in circles.

"When?" Zac asked.

"I don't know,it doesn't say."

"You're going in two weeks,"her mom answered.

"TWO WEEKS!!!"Rebecca and Zac yelled in unison.

"Yeah,is that ok?"

"Yeah,it's fine." Sure she really wanted to go,but Zac had just gotten back,and going to Europe for one and a half weeks was gonna pull apart,again. Rebecca and Zac sat on his porch later that night. Her head was in his lap.

"Zac,i'm not going to Europe."

"What?! Are you insane?"

"Zac,you just got back. I can't leave you,not right now. I need you too much." He sat her up,and looked her straight in the eyes.

"Rebecca,if you let me hold you back from doing this I'm gonna feel so guilty. Rebecca,you have to go. We've got two weeks."

"But Zac,i wanna be with you."

"Beleive me,i wanna be with you too,but this is a chance to spend time with your grandparents,in Europe."

"Ok,ok. I'll go. But you better be here when i get back."

"I will be. I promise." He kissed her lightly. She kissed him deeper. Then he started to reach up under her shirt,as if to take it off.

"Zac,we're outside,on the porch."

"Oh yeah. I guess we should go in huh?"

"It's 12:30,i have to go home. Come over tommorrow k?"

"Ok. Bye."

"Bye." They kissed again,then she crossed the street. Zac walked across the street at 9 the next morning.

"Rebecca...wake up."

"Huh?"

"Get up! We're going to the park!"

"Why?"

"Because everyone is going to build snowmen and stuff."

"Zac,there's no snow on the ground!"

"Oh yes there is..." He picked her up and took her to the window. "See."

"Omigosh! It snowed last nite!"

"Yep,and it'll be the last snow this year,so we're all going to the park."

"Alright,i'll be ready in a minute." She shoved him out the door and grabbed her warmest jeans,and sweater.

"You can come in now Zac." Before the sentance left her mouth,he was in her room. As she was brushing her hair,he wrapped his arms around her and slowly pulled her to the bed. When their lips met,he pushed her gently to the bed and laid ontop of her.

"Zac,i just put my clothes on,"she whispered as he took her sweater off.

"Well,i'm taking them off." She didn't refuse,just continued to kiss him. She let him unbutton her jeans,but when he tried to take them off,she got a little uneasy.

"Zac,please don't."

"Why not? Is this still about Amy and Ike?"

"No,i just don't think i'm ready,i'm not ready. ANd i know that if i ever let you get something started,i won't have the will power to make you stop."

"Ok,fine."

"Don't get mad." She kissed him on the forhead.

"I'm not mad Baby. I promise. You ready to go to hte park?"

"Yeah,as soon as i get my clothes on,AGAIN."

He smiled slightly,"Well,you never told me not to undress you,so i did." She put her sweater back on and buttoned her jeans.

"Hey Zac! Hey Rebecca!" Taylor called.

"Hey!"they yelled in unison.

"What are we builing today?"Rebecca asked,jumping on Tay's back.

"A castle,made of snow."

"No shit it's made of snow."

"You just live to be a smart-ass don't you?"

"I don't know. See...."

"Shut up." He didn't wanna listen to one of her speechs that didn't make since,and that she only said to annoy him,in a playful way.

"You two help over here,"Amy said,pointing to the oppisite side of the castle. As they sat down,Amy sat by Rebecca,and Zac went over to Ike.

"Katherine,c'mere!" Katherine walked over beside the girls. The guys sat on one side,the girls on the other.

"Ok,on 3,we're gonna cream the guys with snowballs,then run to the trees,"Amy recited.

"Alright,but if i have a red bruise on my face like last year,you're dead,"Katherine warned.

"1,2,3!" The 3 guys were now officialy creamed with snow,and the girls were trying their hardest to make it to the woods.

"You 3 are SO dead!"Ike yelled as they ran after them. Rebecca felt a snowball in the back of her leg.

"Shit! They're right behind us! Run!!!" Right before they ran into the trees,Zac grabbed Rebecca around the waist and tickled her madly. Then playfully threw her to the ground. Soon,the 6 were in a snowball fight that only lasted about 7 minutes. Taylor and Katherine were now trying to get the snow out of each other's hair,Zac and Amy were sitting down,but Rebecca and Isaac were still throwing snowballs. Tired of hearing his girlfriend scream,Zac grabbed Rebecca and slung her to the ground,careful not to hurt her though. He laid half on top of her,throwing little peices of snow in her face.

"Zac,stop,stop,"she laughed.

"Alright,but don't throw snow at me."

"Ok,ok,i won't. I promise." He stopped. They kissed eachother.

"Guys,c'mere,i want a picture of all of us,"Amy yelled. Everyone ran over.

"Rebecca! Zac! STOP!" she yelled before they reached her.

"What?"

"It's a perfect picture,smile." Zac had his arm around her waist,and her head was on his shoulder. The silver necklace,with the heart that had their initials engraved on it hung around her neck.(this was her b-day present from him). They sat the timer and took a few pictures of all of them together.

************************************Late that nite********************

Everyone was at Amy's. The guys were playing N64 in the living room,and the girls sat in Amy's bedroom.

"Amy,ya know,next year,it won't..it won't be like this,"Rebecca said,almost sadly.

"Yeah,I know. I guess i'd better be enjoying my last few months as a kid huh?"

"Yeah,i would be. When's the baby due?" Katherine asked.

"October 20."

"Zac's birthday is the 22nd,"Rebecca said.

"I know. That's when we want it to be born."

"That would be cool,"Katherine concluded.

"Hey,what are we gonna do for Valentines?"

"I don't know. We've only got about a week or so though."

"I know...I'll go ask Tay."

"Taylor?"

"Yeah Babe?"

"What are we doing for Valentines?" The guys looked at each other quickly.

"Nothing!"they all answered,too quickly. She walked into the bedroom again.

"What did they say?"Rebecca asked.

"They've got something planned,they all said nothing,really quick,and they were smiling,especialy Zac."

"Why am i scared?"Rebecca said.

"I know,me too. What the hell are they up to?"Amy asked.

"I don't know,but it must be good,they seemed satasfied with it."

"Hmmm...this is scary."

*****************The other room***************

"Zac,I'm so glad you thought of doing that thing for the Valentines,"Taylor whispered.

"I am a genius! Thank you! Thank you! And i'm kicking both of your asses at this game!"

"Shut up! You suck!"Ike taunted.

"Well then you suck worst,cuz i'm beating you!"

"Would you two stop! Now what are we gonna tell the girls when we drive them down there?"

"We'll tell them that we're going to a movie premeire,but really we're going to....."
