Fate Within The Stars

....by Lizzie

Chapter 9

It has been three days and the doctors keep telling Amanda that Cameron will wake up at anytime but there he lay. Amanda had been asking when he does wake up will he be his old charming, sarcastic self or would he have trouble remember who she was. They said it all depends on how long the person is under and the person.

Jordan/ David on the other hand has been very happy with the results of the " accident". All he needs to do is to make sure Cameron doesn't interfere before " David" has the chance to win back Amalie!

" Miss Allen, how is our good friend Cameron doing?&quo

" Pretty bad I guess, he still is in a coma stage. "

" Excellent... is Amanda still there?"

" Yes sir... I'll get the car."

* Hospital *

" Miss Cory, there is a man to see you but you'll will have to leave to be sure not to disturb Mr. Sinclair."

" Of course......... Oh.. Hello David. What do you need? "

" Well the Chicago trip is tomorrow and I want your papers since I figure you're not coming."

" The trip ! I'm sorry... of course. Call me when you get home, we'll set up a meeting."

" Okay. You look tired. Would you like to go get some coffee?"

" Well........."

" Miss Cory, Mr Sinclair is asking for you."

" Okay, I'll be there in......... CAMERON!"

" Yes, he has awoken."

" Thank god!!!! Bye David."

" Good-B....." As the door closes on him."

" Oh Cameron, I love you! I knew you would come back to me."

" I had to come back.... I just got you back, how could I leave?"

" No Cameron..... You never didn't have me!" (Kiss)

" Now what was that surprise?"

Ah... you remember."

" Wait , I want to ask something first."

" Sure, what?"

" Well, remember all those beautiful stuff I said before I asked you to marry me?"

" Yeah."

" Well..... that plus a whole lot more love."

" Are you asking me to marry you?"

" Yeah!"

" Well........."

Chapter 10

" Well what... you like to keep your men in suspense, don't you?"

" No, only this man! Oh the answer to the first question, what I said before plus a lot more love too!" ( Kiss)

" Now that I'm the happiest man on earth, what did you want to tell me?"

" I hope there is room for more happiness because on top of a wedding, we'll need to have a baby shower too!"

" Yep.... there was more room! I love you, how far along are you, are you ok????"

" I love you too, a couple of weeks I think, and I'm fine except for that I'm out of breath!"

" Sorry, I'm just so happy!"

" It's ok. I'm glad you're happy but I would like to take you home now."

" I can go home!?"

" As long as you stay in bed until you feel better."

" I don't think I would want to be any other place!"

" Let me restate that... in bed, taking it easy... no big activities!"

" That closes the door on what I wanted to do."

" Behave! Besides we can stay in bed and make plans for our special occasions coming up."

" Sounds good!"

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

* Cory Mansion doorway *

" Finally a home, with real food & best of all you!" ( Kiss)

" We'll have plenty of time for this later but I think we should get inside first."

" Fine. Promise me when we get in there that I won't have to play 20 questions"

" Promise, besides... everyone is gone."

" That's what I like to hear!"

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

Amanda & Cameron are in bed figuring out a guest list for the wedding and stuff but they need some more people.

" Ummmmm... oh, how about David!"

" There is something off about that guy."

" Yeah but he's rich!"

" Maybe, but this is the same guy who gave you a key at our last wedding!"

" Good point!" ( scratches him off the list.)

Chapter 11

Today is the baby shower. Next weeks is the wedding. Amanda & Cameron didn't have to do much for the wedding since everything was still ready from the first try. Cameron is upstairs in Amanda's room just thinking.... when Amanda finds him.

" Honey, you might want to have something to eat before the shower."

" Okay, I'll be down in a little bit."

" mmmmmmm.... what's wrong?"

" Oh nothing really. I'm just thinking of who should be my best man. How about Matt? Joe? Maybe Cass? I got it... Tyrone !!!!"

" What about Gary?"

" Yeah right! I've been in the hospital enough thanks!"

(Laughs) " I'm serious. You two haven't talked since the whole mess happened."

" Either have you!"

" Fine, lets go together."

" ok... but let me get the first aid kit before we do." ( they have a little laugh and leave)

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

* Lumina *

" Miss Allen, I'm going to see Amanda, inform me if anything happens."

" Oh sir.... I don't know if today is good for Amanda."

" And why not? She had to leave that peasant for a little bit."

" Well yes she is home..... but so is Cameron."

" What?"

" Also, today they are having a..... wedding shower. I think."

" Wedding?! I wasn't invited?"

" I'm sorry sir, you weren't even invited to the wedding itself."

" But why so soon? There has to be a reason for rushing all of this."

" Well I'm not certain it is a wedding shower... it could be a ba...."

" Don't say it!! There is know way my Amalie is pregnant!"

" How can you be so sure?"

" Because, it can't be right. Amalie was never pregnant."

" Or maybe she was."

" I'm never am wrong!!!"

c

* Gary & Josie's place *

Amanda knocks while Cameron stays to the side hoping to have a better chance of getting in.

" Hello.... Josie, is Gary home?"

" No but he'll be back soon. You can come in and wait."

" Thanks." ( She goes in and Cam follows)

" GOD Cameron! You can't be here! He'll kill you."

" I've something to ask him."

" Please don't tell me you want Gary jr."

" Oh. No.. I have my own love coming soon."

" Really?? Wow. Congratulations

" Thanks." ( Gary's car pulls up)

" Cameron, honey. I would go into the bedroom until it's safe."

" Sounds good to me!'

" I got that soup you wanted Jos... Amanda?"

" Hello Gary. I need to talk to you."

" Please, me first. I'm sorry I went off on you but I was so mad at that you stood up for the jerk formally know as Cameron. You deserve so much more."

" Now Gary, you ar......"

" No Amanda, he's right. You deserve a good husband all the time & a good father to the kid and we all know you didn't pick the right guy."

" What the hell? Get out of my house!!"

" BOTH OF YOU.. SHUT UP!!!!!!!"

" Cameron, you first. You are the man I love. I believe I picked the best I have ever found and I think I deserve for you to fulfil my dream of having you."

" How co....."

" I didn't say you could talk yet Gary!"

" Don't talk to my husband that way!"

" You shut up too or I'll make you face a floor decoration! Gary... Cameron came over here to ask you to be his best man. After everything you did to him, he wants you!"

" I did to him?! He is the one who slept with my wife & lied about it."

" Yet you forgave Josie for the same thing. And I see Gary jr. With you and not him. He has given you so much.

"Amanda..... the party!"

" Oh yeah. I almost forgot. Gary. I hope you'll think about this."

* Outside Gary's place *

" WOW! I would of liked to see you kill Josie."

" I almost did! But a blood stain wouldn't look good on this dress."

( laughs) " Maybe not but you're in it and after everything you just said.... I probably wouldn't of noticed."

( They kiss & walk home hand in hand.)

Chapter 12

* Cory Mansion *

Amanda & Cameron's party is over & they got a lot of stuff for the baby. And they got a lot of requests for names on the cards. Unfortunately they didn't know if the baby was a boy or girl and they decided to make this a name from just them. Amanda decided to go to the doctor to find out.

" Doctor, I'm here for my Sonoran."

" Of course... right this way. Who's name is this going under."

( she smiles ear to ear) " Sinclair."

" Very well.... lets get started."

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

Cameron is in Amanda's room looking at the gifts & signing thank you cards. He takes a break to look at the guest list of the wedding..... smiles.. And gets back to work. He sees the door open and is glad to see it is Amanda.

" Ah... room service! I'll have a coke and a side of you!"

" Sure, the coke will be right up, but I won't keep a princess, like yourself, waiting for the second request."

They have a long passionate kiss before Amanda remembers what she wanted to tell Cameron.

" umm... honey... did you finish those thank you cards?"

" Yes I did!"

" Well you need to add something."

" Ok..... but your helping me... there are a lot of cards!"

" We need to add something like ... hope you can enjoy 2 kids just as much as 1 !"

Cameron stands in silence for a minute tying to figure out what had been said. When he did he took Amanda in his arms and twirled her to show how happy he was. Amanda told him to not talk... just love and they made love like the rest of the world stopped.

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

" Cameron, can you promise me something?"

" Of course."

" Don't tell anyone about the other baby... I want it to be a secret."

" Ok but you told me to write that stuff on the thank you cards."

" That was just my way of telling you."

" Great! My hand hurts already any ways! You know.. You are going to have to eat more now that you are pregnant,"

" That's ok... I know you pack a mean brunch !"

Chapter 13

Today is the day of the wedding. Cameron was waiting with the priest & Tyrone since Gary hadn't talked to either him or Amanda since there talk the other week. Amanda was getting ready to go down the aisle. When the wedding song started and Cameron saw Amanda he thought he was going to die from loss of oxygen right there on the spot. The priest had said the normal stuff and now it was time for the vows they had written themselves.

" Cameron, you first."

" With this ring I not only show my love, I show commitment, support & faithfulness. Since that first night on the hill & the visits at the park, I couldn't get you out of my head and for that, I'm thankful. I'm going to prove to you that I can be that man you always believed I was. I will love you forever... that's a promise. I stand here in front of everyone and say I love you ... now and forever!

( Amanda.... needing a few seconds to get herself together begins. )

" With this ring, I choose you to tell everything to, to run to you first, to love you always. For a man who says he is not good with words, you show me love that I never knew existed. Be that man I met on the hill or the one with the attitude, I don't care. It's you I love! Our stars will show my love, commitment & support that I have for you. Past, Present & Future... I love you always!

" You may kiss the bride."

" Finally!"

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

Cameron & Amanda went to Key West for their honeymoon. They had reserved a honeymoon suite. They went to the beach before it was too late. Cameron threw her into the water as she stayed under a little long Cam came closer. She popped out and dunked him. He chased her all the way back to the house.

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

" I thought you were going to take a shower?"

" I am, but I forgot something."

" What?"

" You!!" ( as he chased her into the shower.)

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

Cameron is lying on the bed with a pair of boxers on when Amanda comes out of the bathroom.

" WOW! What's that you have on?"

" A wedding present."

" From who?"

" You!"

" I don't remember buying it... but I'm glad I did!"

He pulls her close as he trails all around her body and they make love.

* Cory Mansion *

Matt & Cass have finally found something on Stark that could be useful. One day that David was over he dropped some papers, one sheet on his date book fell out. It said......

Make plans with Miss Allen to meet Amanda after he talks to Zak.

This was obviously an old note since Zak has not been seen in such a long time but Matt & Cass wondered what David had to do with Miss Allen.

Chapter 14

*Cory Mansion*

Cameron & Amanda have got home and now Cass & Matt have asked to talk to Cameron.

" We need you to help us now."

" Sure... what do I need to do?"

" We have the right to believe David Halliday might have something to do with Lumina or Stark."

" And you need me to do.....?"

" We need you to follow him today after his meeting with Amanda. We want to know where he goes and what he does."

" Fine but have you talked to Amanda?"

" Yes, she has seen what we have seen and is just as suspicious, we also don't want her to be alone during this meeting so you'll stay with her saying she is sick."

" Can do!"

" Great ... the meeting is at 1 o' clock and Amanda is in her room."

" That's the info I needed!"

( meeting time)

" Hello Mr. Halliday, I will be at your meeting with Amanda today due to her sudden illness."

" Would she like to cancel?"

" NO... she wants to know what happened in Chicago."

" Very well. Hello Amanda, lets get started."

In Cameron's point of view the meeting went by quite slowly but from time to time Amanda called on him for a blanket, water and sometimes just him which made David upset.

" Well that's all.. I'll let you get your beauty sleep... as if you need it."

Cameron gives him a nasty look.... " Here honey.. Let me take you upstairs."

David leaves & Cameron quickly follows and doesn't get seen but what he sees is worse than he ever imagined.

" Oh My God!! David is Stark..... Stark is David!"

He ran as fast as he could home still not being seen. He tells Matt, Cass, Rachael & Amanda . They are all happy but scared at the same time. Amanda was told not to see David again till they figured out what to do. Cameron thinks of something that might have to do with all of this.

" Amanda, do you remember what that face you saw in your " dream" looked like?"

" It was hideous & deformed!"

" Like this?" As he pulls up a sheet from Rachael"s clay portrait of Stark.

" ahhhh! It's him!" she pulls Cameron closer.

" I think all of this is revolving, in someway,.. around Amanda."

"Could be! Cameron... never leave Amanda's side."

" As if I could! Let's go upstairs."

" Okay.. Later"

" Bye you two. Oh and thanks Cameron."

" Anything to help."

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

" What about Keith?"

" For what?"

" A name for the babies."

" Sounds good but how do you know they are boys?"

" Oh yeah... I never told you ..they are! I was thinking. I would name 1 and you name the other.

" Okay... but I'm not to good at tat sort of thing!"

" It's okay. You have plenty of time. Although. I already have mine!"

" Really.. What is it?"

" Not telling till you come up with yours."

" Fine.. I would rather be doing less talk anyway!"

They slept in each others arms all night. Even though Amanda knew she should be terrified of what might happen to her, she felt as if the world stopped when they were together. Everyone says that Cameron is this wall that no one could get inside & see what he was truly feeling and Amanda had figured it out. He was a wall, the wall that kept her protect and she was the only one who had that "key" to his true feelings!

Chapter 15

*Lumina*

Jordan has been studying his books more, looking for something that might show his Amalie was pregnant. (Miss Allen enters)

" Sir, you have been searching in those books forever."

" If Amanda is pregnant then Amalie was!"

" Maybe Amanda isn't Am...."

" Say it and you and Zak will be having a reunion faster than you think!"

" I'm tired of you pushing me around! You can't stop TRUE love and you know it! Leave Amanda & Cameron alone... Amanda isn't Amalie.. And if she was why would she want to come back to a hideous beast like you!!?"

" Don't say I didn't warn you!"

POOF! Miss Allen was gone. Stark had said he was going to get rid of all obstacles but never thought Miss Allen was going to be one. But she saw it coming. She sent everything to the Cory house that she knew about Stark.... including Beyond imaginations. She only hoped it would get there. Stark didn't know what danger he had put himself into. Without his secretary... there was no one to protect him. Cameron & Matt had already decided to break in... not knowing that Miss Allen was gone.

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

* Cory Mansion*

"Package for Cory Family."

" I'll take that. Whose it from?"

" Well the tag here says a Miss Allen, Miss Cory."

" It's Mrs. Sinclair now ." as she says with a big smile.

" My apologies. So who is the lucky Mr."

" I am!" As Cameron comes from behind wrapping her waist into his arms.

" That's great. Well it is a big package, hope it's good stuff! Good-Bye!"

" Good- Bye."

( In living room)

" It says to everyone. Should I et everyone?"

" Well it's from Miss Allen. I'll get Matt and Cass. You might want to get your mother."

" Ok."

After opening it , all of them were very astonished by what they saw. Especially the picture of Amalie that looked exactly like Amanda."

" Cameron and Matt. I demand that you not go on this break-in. We have everything right here! And if Stark realizes it's gone... It will be too dangerous to go. Besides, Cameron you need to stay with Amanda more now than ever!"

" Of course."

" You two might want to go upstairs. If Stark knows it's gone, he'll come as David and you are suppose to be sick in bed Amanda."

" I'll go to bed." she looks at Cameron seductively.

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

( Amanda's room)

" Have you picked the baby names yet?"

" Actually, I did."

" Lets hear it."

" Promise not to laugh?..... how about Kirkland Joseph Sinclair?"

" I love it! Would you like to hear mine?"

" Of course!"

" How about Cameron Michael Sinclair?"

" I love yours too!"

He sweeps her off her feet driving her crazy by nibbling on her ear and kissing her neck. She pushes him onto the bed and right when their lips are about to meet...

Knock, Knock.

" BUSY!" they both shout.

" Please, Cameron I need to talk to you."

" It's Gary. Hold on." Still frustrated he gathers himself and opens the door.

" Hope it isn't to late but I need to talk to you Cameron. Amanda if you could leave for a second it would be great but I need to talk to you too!"

" Ok. Me, Cameron & Kirkland are hungry anyway!" she kisses Cam and leaves.

Even though Gary is confused he continues to say what he came here for. " Cam, I'm sorry for being a jerk lately. I should of forgiven you when I forgave Josie, probably sooner. I let you down. I don't want to lose you like I did after you killed pop. I should of been at the wedding and at that party! I'm sorry."

" It's not your fault Gar, You had to get through it and I'm just glad you did."

" I not only threw you out of my life..... twice but Gary Jr's too!"

( Amanda enters with strawberries and chocolate sauce)

" It's ok, he has two more coming that will get him past that!"

" Amanda, I just wanted to say I'm sorry fro being a jerk and I'm glad you realized Cameron is a good man and didn't give up on him."

" Well, he did make it kinda hard to forget."

" Now what is this about two more and Cameron and Kirkland?"

" Well, the party you missed was a baby shower. You are going to be an uncle to two boys!"

" Wow! Congrats you two! Sorry I missed that! You will be getting two presents from me shortly."

" Thanks but there is one thing I want now Gary."

" Anything Amanda."

" Cameron. So please leave!"

" Oh! Ok! Bye!"

After eating strawberries in new interesting ways, they made love and just slept in each others arms all night.
