Chapter 71

"I'm coming!" I shout and open the door. "Maddox?" I frown.

"Mom and dad don't let me have my sixteenth birthday party in a pool." Maddox simply said and walks in.

"I miss you too, brother." I raise my eyebrows and close the door.

"Ugh I'm sorry, I ran here because I'm doing this kind of demonstration." Maddox sighs. "By the way, please refund my plane tickets. I used my saving money."

"Okay so you're mad at mom and dad then ran here?" I raise my eyebrows at him.

"Kind of. They won't find out that I'm here right? You won't tell them right?" Maddox asks me.

"I'm sorry but I will." I said to him and walk away.

"Paris, please." Maddox sighs and sits down on the couch.

"This is not right." I shake my head and take the phone and speed dial my parents house number.

"Hello?" Dad's voice.

"Dad, it's me. And your little boy is in my house. He is doing a thing that he called demonstration because you and mom don't let him have a party." I said over the phone.

"Calm down, Terri. I was right. He ran to Los Angeles." Dad says.

"What happened to mom?" I ask him.

"Your mom can't stop crying. But thank God that he is there. Please tell him to come home. We will do what he wants." Dad says to me.

"I will talk to this rascal." I nod and hit Maddox's head with a pillow. "Tell mom, don't cry. I love you guys."

"We love you too sweetheart. Thank you so much." Dad hung up the calls.

"You made mom cried!" I hit Maddox with the pillow.

"She cried?" Maddox turns his face at me.

"She does. She was worried about you. Now tell me what's going on exactly." I said to him and sit down next to him.

"I asked them for a sweet sixteenth birthday party in Four Seasons. I want something fancy then they said that we could just have a simple party with dinner with some close friends and family. And I disagree with that." Maddox looks down.

"I never have sweet sixteenth birthday party. The fact when I was sixteenth, my birthday present was mom and dad divorced. Look, what is more important, having a huge party fill with people who are fake liking you or having a simple party with people that love you?"

"Of course the second one." Maddox simply said.

"Here is the thing. I will send flight tickets for mom, dad, and grandpa. We will have a special dinner here. And I will take you to ice cream museum and Disneyland. How?" I grin at him.

"So cheap." Maddox simply said.

"You want it or not? I could get Mercedes Jones to be the guest star and she will do it free." I chuckle.

"Okay. I'm sorry. I'm such a child." Maddox sighs.

"I've been there. I ran from the apartment when I found out dad was dating Miss Pillsbury." I chuckle and rub his back. I turn my face to the stairs as Judith walks downstairs. "Hey, I told you to stay upstairs, if you need anything, just call me."

"No, it's fine. I can't lay down all day." She giggles.

"Oh by the way, this is Maddox. He is my little brother. I guess you guys are the same age." I smile at them.

"Hi. I'm Judith. I'm having your niece." Judith smiles at Maddox.

"Hi. Nice to meet you too." Maddox giggles.

"And since Judith is using the guest room, so you want to stay in hotel or Logan's bedroom?" I ask Maddox.

"Sleeping with Logan is better one. Where is he anyway?" Maddox looks around.

"He went to buy ice cream with Mike and bring the cat to walk around." I said to him. "He has a cat anyway and just like you, he doesn't let anyone touch that cat." I chuckle and walk to the kitchen.

Suddenly the front door is opening. I turn my face and see Mike and Logan walk in. "Uncle Maddox, I have a cat!" Logan runs to Maddox.

"Hey, that's looks like Dash." Maddox says to Logan.

"Hey, buddy. You went here alone?" Mike asks Maddox.

"He ran from Ohio made mom cried because of a stupid party." I roll my eyes and start cooking for dinner.

"Like brother like sister." Mike simply said.

"Excuse me?" I raise my eyebrows.

"Paris, you ran away from your parents twice. I just hope that the kids won't do that." Mike says to me.

"They won't. I won't teach them like that." I shake my head.

"So the unborn baby is a boy or a girl?" Maddox asks. "And honestly, for the first time I thought, you were Mike's cousin." Maddox chuckles at Judith.

"The baby is a girl. We checked and the gender isn't change. And I'm not. I actually from New Jersey. My parents sent me to America to study but things got out of the hand and I was lost. I can't tell them that I'm pregnant or they will totally clear me from the family." Judith says to Maddox.

"What about the father of the baby?" Maddox asks her.

"He left after he heard about the news. That stupid Dutch went back to Netherlands." Judith says.

"I'm so sorry. This is why I always pay attention to sex Ed class." Maddox says to her.

"You don't even have a girlfriend." I frown.

"You're sixteen right?" Judith asks Maddox.

"Yes. Well it's hard for me to date a girl from same school since my dad is the school principal and everyone at school knows me, Maddox Schuester. So..." Maddox shrugs.

"Ah I see." Judith nods.

"I think they hit it off." Mike whisper at me.

"Mike.." I chuckle and shake my head.

I look at Maddox and Judith who are keep talking to each other. I smile and keep cooking dinner. Yeah Judith's pregnancy is already nine months old and the doctor said that her due date is in two weeks. So I wanted her to stay with us so we can look after her and the baby.

Mike and I already bought a house in Los Angeles. Just a house with four bedrooms and four a half bathrooms. With a small swimming pool in the backyard like what Logan wanted. Not that big for a small family like mine.

I can't wait to see the baby. I even already decorated the nursery for the baby and prepare a name for her. Mike knows how excited I am. He is also excited that he will finally have a baby girl which usually will be closer to daddy than mommy. I just can't wait.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I'm preparing breakfast for everyone in my house. It's Saturday and no works nor school. I'm just going to check out on the shop later. I'm sure the store supervisor already handled everything.

"Good morning." Judith walks downstairs.

"You alright? You can exchange room with me if you want instead of sleeping upstairs." I said to her and pull out a chair for her to sit down.

"No, thanks. I'm okay. The doctor said that I need to have more physical activity so the baby can go out easier." She said to me. "Where is everyone?"

"Well, Logan and Maddox are sleepyhead so they won't awake unless I wake them up and Mike is taking shower. See? This is why I need a daughter in my life because my life is full of boys." I chuckle.

"Hey, good morning." Mike walks to the dining table.

Suddenly the door bell is ringing. Mike walks to the door. I can hear chitchatting from the door. I walk to the door and smile.

"Oh my God." I smile at my parents and hug them. "I was about to send the flight tickets."

"Your mom insisted me to come here. We took the first morning flight we could." Dad says to me.

"Where is he?" Mom asks me.

"Sleeping in Logan's bedroom with Logan. They must be playing video games until late last night. Come on in. I will book a hotel room for you both okay." I said to them and walk lead them to the dining room. "Oh meet Judith and the baby." I giggle. "These are my parents, Terri and Will Schuester." I said to Judith.

"Hi. Nice to meet you guys." Judith smiles at them.

"Nice to meet you too. Oh how many months?" Mom says to Judith.

"It's nine months old. They told me to stay here for a month so they can look after me and the baby." Judith giggles.

"You're adopting your cousin's child?" Mom asks Mike.

"No no no. I'm not Dr. Chang's cousin. We are just Asians. I chose them because I know this baby will be in good hands with two loving parents." Judith smiles at us.

"What is the gender of the baby?" Dad asks her.

"It's a girl." She giggles.

"No wonder their faces look excited." Mom chuckles.

"Yeah well. Who wouldn't?" I giggle and take some cookies from the oven. "There you go." I smile and put the cookies on the table.

"Daddy, uncle Maddox kicked me from the bed. I don't want to sleep with him again." Logan runs downstairs and hugs Mike.

"You want some cookies?" Mike hugs him back. "You ignored who's coming this morning."

Logan turns his face and grins at my parents. "Hi.." Logan smiles at them.

"Hi, handsome." Mom smiles at him.

I smile and turn my face at Judith. "You alright?" I ask her.

"I'm having constant stomachache since last night. That's why I woke up early." She said to me. "It come and go. Maybe too much eating peppers."

"Wait what? You're going to labour. You're not having stomachache. That's contractions." Mom says to her.

"Oh God, we are going to have a baby." I smile at Mike.

"I know." Mike smiles back at me and hugs me.

"I don't mean to ruin your moment but she needs to go to hospital." Mom says to us.

"Oh right, Logan you stay here with nana and grandpa okay." I said to Logan and take my purse. "Come on." I help Judith to stand up and walk her to the car. I open the car door and let her in.

I'm nervous, scared, and excited at the same time. I wish that the baby is really a girl because I already prepare for a girl nursery. Oh God.

~~

I bring ice chips to Judith's room. "Here I bring you more ice chips." I give the cup to her.

"Thank you. I'm tired already." Judith sighs.

"I know." I nod and rub her hair.

"Hello." The doctor walks in along with Mike. "How's it going?"

"The contractions come at every one minute each." I said to her.

"Okay." She nods and check Judith's cervix. "She is already ten centimeters dilated. She is ready." The doctor smiles at us.

"Oh I'm scared." I hug Mike.

"Calm down. They will be fine." Mike hugs me back and rubs my hair.

Some nurses start walk in and bring the stuff that I don't know. Even though my husband is a surgeon, I never want to know those stuff. I can't even see blood coming from my nose. It freak me out.

"Babe, this is a moment of our child born. I missed out on Logan's and now I don't want to miss it." Mike rubs my back.

"But those bloods." I shake my head and close my eyes.

"Okay time to start pushing. She is crowning." The doctor says to Judith.

I turn my face at Judith and holds her hand as she start pushing. Mike just standing on the other side of the bed and holds Judith's hand.

"Little bit harder. Seems like you did what I said to have more physical activity." The doctor says to Judith.

"You can do it okay." I said to Judith and wipe her sweat with tissues paper.

"Okay she is coming." The doctor smiles at us.

I look over and brave myself to see. "Mike you have to see this." I smile at Mike.

"No, I'm okay I think that your phobia with blood goes to me." Mike shakes his head.

"And she is a girl." The doctor smiles as she picked up a baby girl that looks so beautiful and the baby is whinnying.

"Oh my God, she is so beautiful." I smile at Mike and hug him.

"Hey, little princess." Mike smiles while looking at the baby.

"I'm so happy for you guys." Judith smiles at us.

"Thank you for doing this for us. It's mean a lot to us." I smile at her.

"Knowing that there will be two loving parents who will raise her right and love her so much, I'm glad that I did it." Judith smiles at us.

"I promise you, I will love her with everything I have." I smile at Judith and looks at the baby girl.

Mike just holds me and kisses my head. Finally our family is complete. We have one of each. We have a son and a daughter. This is just amazing.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I'm walking into the house while holding our baby girl. "Welcome home, baby girl." Logan smiles at us and holds a pink balloon.

I smile as they decorated the living room with  words saying it's a girl and a lot of pink balloons like we just had gender reveal party.

"Hey, where is she?" Maddox asks me.

"She went back to New Jersey. She said that she has this exam that she can't miss because it's really depends on her grade. So Mike and I booked her first class ticket to New Jersey." I said to Maddox and sits down on the couch. "Don't worry I have her phone number." I chuckle.

"She is so beautiful. Hi." Logan sits down next to me and smiles at the baby.

"What's her name?" Mom asks me.

"It's Brooke Judith Chang." I smile at them.

"She could be my little toy at home." Maddox chuckles.

"She doesn't look like half Asian." Dad says.

"Just like this boy when he was born. But now look at him, totally Asian." Mike chuckles and squeezes Logan's cheeks.

"Ugh daddy!" Logan groans.

"Hey, you are a big brother now." Mike says to Logan.

"She is beautiful." Logan smiles and rubs Brooke's cheek.

"You love her?" I smile at Logan.

"Of course I do." Logan smiles back at me.

I smile and look at Brooke. She is so beautiful. I'm glad that I could bring her home and we will love her so much and make her our little princess.

~~

I'm sitting down on the rocking chair while holding Brooke in family room. I'm actually sleepy but if I put this girl on her crib, she will realize it and cry. Meanwhile I haven't prepare for dinner tonight.

"Babe, take a rest. I will take care of her." Mike says to me.

"It's okay. You just prepare the dinner." I said to him.

"Your eyes looks so sleepy." Mike sits down on the arm chair and rubs my head.

"Mommy, I need help with my homework." Logan says to me.

"Mommy's coming, sweetheart." I smile at Logan and hand Brooke to Mike.

Logan takes my hand and walks lead me to his bedroom. I'm actually so sleepy. I just want to lay down in bed and fall asleep.

I sit down on Logan's bed and lean my back against the wall and helping him doing his Math homework.

~~

*Mike's POV*

I walk downstairs holding the baby monitor and check out the delivery food for dinner tonight. Finally get Brooke down to bed after she was being fussy. She was trying to adapt in a new place.

"Where is everyone?" Mr. Schue asks me.

"Paris is upstairs helping Logan with his homework and I just took Brooke to bed. She is adapting in a new place so she was fussy." I said to Mr. Schue.

"You okay?" Mr. Schue asks me.

"I'm nervous. Terrified. I have two children now and I have a daughter. What am I going to do?" I chuckle.

"I would recommend you some parenting books if you like." Mr. Schue chuckles.

"No, it won't working. I mean, compare to Paris. I'm nothing." I chuckle.

"Don't ever compare yourself to women because you will always lose. They're like chameleon can be easy change and adapt with something new. I ever felt the same way when I took Paris home from the hospital." Mr. Schue says to me.

"What it felt like?" I ask him.

"Scared. Terrified. Like my life is over but it's not. My dad gave me these books to be a father but it ain't work. Theory just a theory. Until one night, she had colic, her mom already tired so I was in charge. I hold her in my arms and she grabbed my finger by her whole fist. She stopped crying and fell asleep in my arms while holding my finger. That's the moment when I knew that I'm a father. And it is not that hard." Mr. Schue smiles at me.

"Actually Paris always told me that if we can't raise Logan, he wouldn't be grow up that smart and handsome like this now." I chuckle.

"And he does. Look we both are same, I have one girl and one boy. So do you. And trust me, Mike. It's amazing. When Paris went to college, I spent a night slept in her room. Thing that probably I will do again when Maddox will go to college. Your kids are still young, enjoy it. Spend more time with them. They need their father. Because once you let them go for college, it will be hard to bonding." Mr. Schue says to me.

"You are right." I giggle.

"Daddy, I need help with this." Logan walks downstairs and sit down on the counter and put his book on the table.

"I thought you were doing homework with mommy." I frown at him.

"Mommy fall asleep in my bed." Logan sighs.

"Your dad is busy, here I will help you. I'm a principal in high school." Mr. Schue smiles at Logan.

"Okay." Logan nods.

They both sits down on the couch in family room. I keep opening the food and put the food on the table. Suddenly the door bell is ringing. I walk to the door and open the door.

"Michael!" Mom smiles at me and hugs me.

"We are here to see the baby, son." Dad smiles at me.

"I just took her to bed actually. But here come in. Paris's parents are also here." I smile at them and take their suitcase and bring them in.

"Hey you guys." Mr. Schue smiles at my parents and hugs them.

"Where is Terri?" Mom asks him.

"She went out with Maddox. Apparently that guy was having birthday yesterday and he ran here after me and Terri refused to let him held a party. Paris called us and here we are." Mr. Schue chuckles.

"Well, teenagers." Mom smiles. "Where is Paris?" Mom asks me.

"Sleeping in Logan's room. She hasn't sleep since last night." I said to them and put the food on the dining table.

Suddenly Brooke is crying again. I left my food and wash my hands then runs upstairs and pick her up from her crib. I smile at her and bring her downstairs as she is yawning.

"Look, who is coming." I smile at Brooke.

"May I?" Mom smiles at me.

"Sure." I hand the baby to mom carefully.

"Hi.. oh she is precious." Mom smiles while looking at Brooke. "Maybe if we have a daughter it will be like her." Mom says to dad.

"Yeah maybe." I chuckle.

"She is so pretty. But not really looks like Asian." Dad says to me.

"Well that's good because her mom isn't Asian." I chuckle.

"Hey, mixed race is the best. I mean, look at Logan." Mom says to dad.

"She will be daddy's little princess." Mr. Schue smiles at me.

"I don't know." I giggle.

"Well trust me. Look at Paris, she is still coming to me everyday. Texting me what am I doing or what I eat or gossiping about you and Logan." Mr. Schue chuckles.

"Really?" I chuckle.

"Yes. I even know about that morning omelette accident." Mr. Schue laughs softly.

"What accident?" Mom frowns.

"I ever told you that Paris was having cold, Logan was almost late for school. I made him breakfast when I tried to flip the omelette like the chef did the omelette fell right on Logan's head." I laugh.

"And mommy yelled at daddy afterwards." Logan giggles.

"She does?" Mom asks Logan.

"Yeah. She yelled at me because it landed on Logan's head and it could be dangerous for him not about the food." I said to them.

"You didn't tell me." Dad frowns at me.

"He told me. He called me from his work and almost cried. Like 'my wife yelled at me this morning'. Oh my God, Michael." Mom laughs softly.

"Mike?" Paris's voice. "Oh hey, you guys." Paris smiles at my parents and hugs them.

"We came here to see the baby girl." Mom smiles at her.

"I'm sorry. I'm not feeling well, I think I have headache, I didn't sleep since last night." Paris giggles and put her arm around my waist.

I put my arm around her shoulder and kisses her head. "Let's have dinner." I said to them and walk lead them to the dining room. "Want me to make you herbal tea?" I ask Paris.

"No, it's okay I already took a pill. I just need to sleep." Paris sighs.

"You can sleep after this." I smile at her and rub her hair.

Paris smiles back at me and lean her head on her shoulder. I know her. Even though we are already having two kids, she is still spoiled at me. And I'm fine with that actually.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

*Paris's POV*

I'm entering my car into the lobby of Logan's school. I let out a sigh and waiting for him to come out and then we can go home and I will have a nap.

Suddenly someone open the backseat door. I turn my face and Logan gets in. "Hi, mommy." Logan smiles at me.

"Hey, sweetheart." I smile back at him. "Buckle up because we will go home right away." I said to him.

"But I want to go to Target first." Logan sighs.

"Ugh mommy is so sleepy. What if you go to Target with daddy this evening? Or I can call him and tell him to stop by the Target before he goes home." I said to him and start driving.

"Mommy is always sleepy now." Logan simply said.

"Well because your little sister is still having colic and I have to stayed up all night made sure she is okay." I said to him while driving.

"When I was baby, was I fussy like Brooke?" Logan asks me.

"Not really. But you can fooled me and your dad a lot." I chuckle.

"Like what?"

"Well, the sign when you were sleepy was you would leaned your head on my chest and wrapped your arms around my shoulders. You made that position a lot but when I put you to the crib or the bed, you would roll around and not sleepy." I laugh slightly.

"I am a bad boy." Logan laughs.

"Not really." I chuckle. "So, you want to go to Target later with daddy or shall I call him now?" I ask him.

"Well, we can go home and I will wait until daddy goes home." Landon says.

"Alright, daddy said he won't be late to go home today." I said to him. "But if he calls that he will come home overlate, I will take you after napping." I laugh slightly.

"Yes, mommy!" Logan chuckles.

I keep driving then turn the car into the garage of our house. I park the car and get into the house. Mike's car isn't here so it means that he isn't home yet.

I walk upstairs and walk to the nursery and check on Brooke. "She was awake when you left, she was hungry and her diaper was full and now she went back to sleep." Julie says to me.

"Thank you. So I can sleep now." I chuckle and walk to my bedroom.

I lay down on the bed and check on the baby monitor. Suddenly someone open the bedroom room door. I turn my face and Logan walks in then lays down next to me.

"Sleep mommy." Logan rubs my head.

"You're like your dad now." I chuckle and close my eyes.

"Yes!" Logan simply said and suddenly hugs me.

I hug him back and still closing my eyes. Tonight I will stay awake again because of Brooke is still having colic. It's bad.

~~

"It's okay, babygirl, it's okay, mommy's here." I said to Brooke as I hold her in my arms. She can't stop crying, she is still having colic every night.

"Come here." Mike takes Brooke from my arms. "Hey, princess. It's daddy.." Mike rocks her slowly. "Just sleep babe."

"How can I sleep if she is still being fussy?" I sigh.

"Look at the stars. Look how they shine for you. And everything you do. Yeah they were all yellow." Mike sings for Brooke.

I smile and Brooke started to calm down. Mike sits down on the edge of the bed next to me. "I came along. I wrote a song for you. And all the things you do. And it was called "Yellow"." I smile and sing.

Brooke is finally stop crying. She just yawning and rubs her face with her hand. Mike and I look at each other and smiling at each other.

"Why we didn't do that since the first day she got colic?" I chuckle.

"I just remembered that when Logan was baby you sang that song for him and he could fell asleep right away." Mike smiles at me.

"Now we can sleep." I let out a sigh and lay down on the bed.

"Goodnight babygirl." Mike puts Brooke on her crib in our bedroom then lays down next to me. "Now I can sleep. And tomorrow the nurses won't tease me because of my panda eyes." Mike chuckles.

"Really?" I chuckle.

"Yeah. They're like 'dr. Chang, don't you just have a baby and already try to make another one?' I told them that my daughter is having colic." Mike chuckles.

"Ugh dr. Chang have night shift at home." I chuckle.

"I know that." Mike laughs and shakes his head. "But night shift taking care of our daughter not other thing." Mike winks at me.

I laugh and cover his face with my hand. "Just sleep now." I smile and close my eyes.

"I will wake up if she is awake again. Don't worry." Mike rubs my hair.

I smile and keep closing my eyes. I hug my pillow and fall asleep again.
