Tamarah’s 14th birthday…

Diana, Jessica, Avery, Mackenzie, Zoë, Tamarah, Amanda and Allie were all watching Hanson’s Albany concert from a sound booth. Jessica, Avery and Mackie were all dancing along to the music, while Diana had headphones on while trying to calm down a crying Zoë. Tamarah, Amanda and Allie were all standing in a corner, linking arms and singing along to MMMBop. They were now almost done the concert, which meant it was almost the end of Tamarah’s birthday.

"Dude, did I tell you guys what Zac got me for my birthday?" Tamarah interrupted.

"What?" Both Amanda and Allie replied looking at Tamarah with wide eyes.

"He got me this!!" Tamarah screamed and flashed an angel ring in front of them, "He told me I was his little angel."

"AWWWW!!!!" The girls both sighed and then got back to singing along to the song.

Just before midnight, the concert was over, Tamarah and Allie walked back to the bus while the rest of the family was still hanging out in the amphitheater, except for Walker, who no one had a clue of where he was at.

Tamarah unlocked the door while laughing at another one of Allie’s dumb jokes. As soon as Tamarah stepped in the bus, she let out a loud shriek.

In front of them there was the bus filled with balloons saying ‘happy birthday’, roses everywhere, a table with a huge birthday cake, and another table filled with presents.

"Wow, who did this?" Tamarah questioned as she ran her hand along the tables.

Soon somebody came out of the living room; Tamarah’s mother… "MOM!!! WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE!!!!!" Tamarah screamed.

"Diana called me and told me to, she said you deserve a surprise, so here I am!" Carla Sikorski explained as she hugged her daughter tightly, "So you’re pregnant huh?"

The question startled Tamarah, "Yes…yes I am, mom."

"With who?"

Allie was standing against the doorway with her arms crosses in front of her quietly listening to the conversation.

"Zac….Diana’s 13 year old son."

"Ohhhh, one of the Hanson boys huh?"

"Well, yeah, mom, uhm…this is Allie, remember ma, she’s on tour too, and Amanda should be back soon with the rest of the family!" Tamarah introduced changing the subject of the pregnancy.

"Hi, nice to meet you," They both said as they shook hands. Their meeting brought a smile on Tamarah’s face.

Just then they were interrupted by a knock on the door. "Oh I’ll get it," Tamarah said and walked towards the door as she pulled down the sleeves of her ¾ shirt.

"Oh hey guys, guess who’s here….my MOM!" she said as the whole family loaded onto the bus with Amanda.

"Cool yo, now let’s open your presents!" Zac said frantically, with his eyes half way closed he was so tired from the concert, he wanted to get the presents over with and hit the sack as soon as possible. Everyone introduced themselves to Mrs. Sikorski as Diana cut the cake, and the now hired bus driver started the bus and everyone settled on the couch.

As soon as Tamarah had opened all her presents -mostly baby stuff- everyone was ready to go to bed.

"Where’s Ashley?" Allie asked Tamarah sitting across from her as she brushed her long blonde hair while sitting on her bunks with her legs in the hallway.

"I think he’s sleeping on the other bus tonight, same with Walker I think, so that there’s a bunk for my mom! God, I really wish she hadn’t come…she sounds so upset about the baby!!!" Tamarah complained and flipped on her small 13" television to MTV.

"Well, geez, Tammie, you’re only a baby having a baby, she should be upset. That Diana ain’t upset is weird yo, I would kick my son out of the house if he had gotten a girl pregnant!"

"Yeah, you’re right, where the hell is Zac at anyway?"

"I don’t know…but that ring he got you, that is just the sweetest thing."

Just then a small head peeked into the curtain of the bunk where Tamarah and Allie were talking.

"Hey chickadeeeeeeeeeeeees, what’s up yo!!" Zac yelled still hyper even though he just did a concert and it was after midnight.

"Not much hun, what’s up with you?" Tamarah replied as she moved over so that Zac could come in and sit down.

"I wanna give you another present," He answered as he took out a small suede box out of his boxer pocket. He was wearing boxers and his famous Interact t-shirt.

"This is a promise ring, yes another ring, for your birthday, from me to you, I want to promise you, that we’ll always be together, and that this baby is gonna have the same beautiful eyes as you do, and that someday we will get married!" Zac promised as he slid the ring onto her finger, and pressed his lips against Tamarah’s.

"Oh you two go get a room already!" Allie complained sticking a finger in her mouth.

"Neeeeeh, if we do that, the baby will end up with a hole in it’s head!" Zac joked, scared at the thought. The girls laughed.

"I’m gonna go hit the sack dudes, I am wicked tired!" Tamarah said as she took Zac’s hand and let him to his bunk where the both of them would sleep that night leaving Allie alone in her bunk with Usher still blaring on MTV.

Soon everyone was falling asleep and on their way to the next city.
