Moments that Lead to You

Finally! I've finally started it! Eeeck Im so excited about this story! Ok first things first lets see, this most likely will be AU. At the time being Lindsay is seventeen and Total Drama Island and Total Drama Action have both been completed. This story will have constant time skips that will randomly jump from scenes during, between, and after both seasons. But don't worry I'll keep you guys updated on what's going on before each chap to avoid confusion.

Unfortunatly this chap is both short and somewhat bland more than anything it's just a short introduction into the story having to deal with Lindsay and her family. Though I had quite a fun time coming up with my version on how Lindsay's family might be.^-^ Chapter two will be much more promising! Swear it!

Another unfortunty, do not expect very fast updates for this story. I am happy to get started on it but you see I'm already doing another chap story and I'm always doing oneshots in between so yeah. I will however try and give at least one chap every month so I hope that's not to bad.

Hmm...can't think of anything else at the moment...If you have any questions please ask! Until then,

Enjoy!

Gone

The pretty blonde haired blue eyed girl opened the fridge before looking through its continents disinterestedly.

After moment she gave an irritable scowl and groan before slamming the door shut only to start back by a sudden figure standing before her.

Another woman much older than the first stood tall with her hands on her hips glaring at daggers at the younger girl.

"Why the hell do I always come in the kitchen only to find you head first in the refrigerator!?"

Blue eyes gave a lazy glare to the older women before retaliating with, "Why the hell do I always come into the kitchen to find we have nothing to eat!?"

The older woman's glare deepened before saying slowly, "Need I remind you, that you don't live here." Angrily she snapped, "Go eat at you're dorm and while you're at it stay there! Me and your father didn't pay all that money for you to be here every waking moment!"

She snorted, "Gee mom if you act any more loving you'd be smothering me!"

The older women had shoulder length dirty blonde hair and pretty smoldering chocolate brown eyes. She heaved an irritable sigh before speaking as though to herself,

"It's every parent's dream for their child to go off to college, be independent, and be out of their parent's hair for good!!" She finished rising her voice angrily and giving the younger girl a pointed look.

The other girl pouted looking away from her mother disinterestedly, "The way you'd talk you'd think I was supposed to leave forever and never come back."

"At least give us a chance to miss you, dammit!"

"You should be more grateful." Said the other girl superiorly, "The only reason I'm here is to help out Lindsay."

The older woman's brow twitched irritably, "Oh that's real nice, using you're one and only baby sister as an excuse."

"It's the truth! Especially now with you and dad going out of town for business!"

The mother's angry scowl relented slightly at this, "Yeah," She sighed, before giving her head a dejected shake, "Really wish we coulda got out of that one."

"Don't worry hone." Came a chipper male voice just a glance over the kitchen island table and into the small but comfortable living room. In his hand's he carried two very large suitcases setting them gently on the ground.

"We'll be back before the weekends over." He turned his kind smile to his oldest daughter, "Will you and Lindsay be okay this weekend on your own together, Paula?"

Paula raised a pretty brow. She was the spitting image of her younger sister except for the short boyish hairstyle that allowed her bangs to fall charmingly in her face.

She scoffed though returned her father's kind smile with one of her own, "Geez daddy we're big girls now. Of course we'll be fine."

His smile softened, "I know but with the state your sister's in-"

"Hey wait a sec," Said Paula's mother raising a suspicious brow, "Didn't you say that you had a test to make up tomorrow morning?"

Paula blinked, "Yeah so?"

Her mother's look became slightly scolding, "You don't plan to just ignore it do you?"

"No way!" Said Paula, "My professor said that if I miss this make up test I fail the class altogether. I'm planning on sleeping over at the dorm tonight so I don't have to worry about getting up early to make it to class in time."

Her mother furrowed her brow, "But I thought-?"

"Don't worry." Paula said with an encouraging grin, "I'll breeze through the test and be back her before baby sister even wakes up."

Her mother looked uneasy, "Well…I guess…You will be with her the entire weekend right?"

"Sure, sure." She said waving her hand disinterestedly, "But seriously you guys are making a big deal out of nothing. Me and Lindsay are perfectly capable of taking care of our own selves."

"Ohmygod!" Came a new sudden voice as an upset Lindsay made her way as quickly as possible into kitchen, "I am like sooooo totally hungry I think my stomachs about to eat itself!"

Sliding between her mother and sister the bubbly blonde quickly made her way to look inside the fridge going through it maddeningly before switching to go through the freezer as well.

Paula gave a despairing shrug, "Don't bother baby sis there's nothing in there. I already checked."

Lindsay giggled, "Nah uh, lookie what I found!"

Paula looked to her sister curiously before grimacing quite noticeably,

"Lindsay…What the heck…!?"

Smiling happily Lindsay stood with a jar of pickles and a small tub of strawberry ice cream in her arms. With a gay smile on her lips she took a pickle before dipping it quiet thoroughly in the ice cream before bringing it up to her waiting lips to take a large and healthy bite!

The rest of the family paled considerably as Lindsay continued eating as if she were devouring the most tastiest of treats!

After a moment the young girl blinked before asking, "What are you all looking at?" Then giving a light look of defiance she said, "If you guys want any you can, like, so forget it! I need this!"

"Calm down stingy." Said Paula with a roll of her eyes, still not entirely used to Lindsay and her sudden mood swings, "None of use wants any of your disgusting…er…snack."

"Disgusting!?" Lindsay looked to her other sister incredulously, "This is, like, so incredibly tasty!" she took another bite of strawberry creamed pickle, "Like an angel's wings!" she gushed happily.

She smiled tauntingly at her sister, "You're just mad that you didn't see it before!"

Again Paula blanched, "Yeah…" she said lowly, "You got me Lind's that's exactly it…"

Lindsay giggled, "Knew it!" she announced in a sing song tone.

Her father walked meaningfully toward her, "Sweetheart, shouldn't you be lying down right now? You're supposed to be on bed rest you know."

Lindsay smiled, "I know daddy, but I've been in bed like allll day!" She sighed, "I'm like sooo totally exhausted from not doing anything, it's totally hard! I so don't see don't see how bums make a living from it!"

Her mother rolled her eyes before saying, "Have you been taking those vitamins like I told you?"

Lindsay nodded ecstatically, her mother smiled, "Good girl." Her pleased looked softened kindly, "Honey will you be fine on your own for tonight? Me and you're father's plane leaves in a few hours and your sister is gonna sleep over at her school tonight. She'll be back first thing in the morning though."

Lindsay pouted, "Yeah totally mom! Like ohmygod! I am so not a little kid anymore!"

Her mother sighed, "Yeah…" She lowered her dark brown gaze down to rest on her daughter's largely swollen stomach, "I guess you're not anymore, huh?"

Lindsay focused on her pickle and ice cream snack.

It had been her mother had taken the news of Lindsay sudden pregnancy the worst.
Her father had been upset, disapproving, yet at the same time as always loving and understanding. Paula had also been angry but unlike her mother she didn't dwell to long on her distaste for the matter. She could never stay mad at her younger sister for long.

After months of planning and decision making it had been decided that Lindsay would go through with the pregnancy but she would not keep the child.

Whether by foster home or becoming a carrier by contract in the end she would give up the child up.

Her mother was at the moment looking for a willing couple.

Lindsay had agreed only half heartedly with the strong persuasion from her mother.

In the end most decisions had not been the blondes own.

After being forced to sit down on the couch and put up her feet Lindsay watched as her mother and father ran about getting the last of their packing down. Paula sat with her absentmindedly flipping through channels on the TV though at times she would pause on a horror flick just to upset her baby sister into a horrified whining fit since she could not stand scary movies. Paula found it highly amusing! At least until their mother scolded her for teasing her sister in the delicate state she was in.

And when Paula returned her mother's angry words with some of her own (she being the more rudely outspoken of the two daughters) in what was sure to be another argument, Lindsay and her father would both quickly intervene to calm the two down. With Lindsay's father always being kind and understanding, it was easy to see who caught whose most endearing traits.

All in all it had been a most normal evening in Lindsay's home.

After a few hours her parents were packed and ready to go.

"Alright." Said Lindsay's mother being sure to place their airline tickets in her purse, "We're about ready to go."

Paula stood from the couch, "I guess I'll be leaving to."

"Whaaaat?" Lindsay pouted, "You too Paula? I thought you were gonna, like; hang around for a bit before you left."

"You should be heading to bed!" Scolded Lindsay's mother, "You need to get all the rest you can this close to delivery!"

She was on her eighth month.

Lindsay pouted, "But it's, like, only eight thirty!"

"Ah, ah, ah." Tsked her mother, "You wanna have a healthy baby don't you?"

The blonde sulked, "Yes." She mumbled dejectedly.

Her mother smirked, "Then do as your mother says." She then made her way over toward her daughter before leaning in to give the young girl a kiss on the head.

"We'll be back Sunday, kay baby?"

Lindsay returned the smile.

Her father repeated the action before telling her, "Be sure and take it easy okay."

"Kay daddy." she grinned.

Her father then moved to kiss Paula on the cheek telling her sternly, "Take care of your little sister."

"Yeah, yeah I know!" Said Paula rolling her eyes.

Their mother passed by the older sister giving a soft yet affectionate swat to the back of Paula's head, "Watch that attitude of yours!"

Paula scowled irritably after her.

As their parent's made their way out the front door they made sure to call back one final 'I love you' with the promise of returning home Sunday afternoon.

Paula irritably told them to 'Hurry up and leave!' while Lindsay happily returned the 'I love you' with one of her own.

Later on she would relish in the fact that she had said it. Later on she would be so glad that the last words said to her parents had been, 'I love you'. Her only regret would be that she didn't say more…but then again Lindsay was not to know that this would be the last time she were to see her parents…

Once the door had closed Paula turned to her younger sister, "Listen you don't have to go to bed now if you don't want to."

Lindsay fumed silently, "But mom said-"

"Moms leaving to board a plane that's going to take her two hundred miles from here. How is she gonna know?"

Lindsay furrowed her brow before giving a deep and thoughtful look as if this were a very complex question, "Ummmm…?"

Paula gave her sister a blank and dull stare before saying, "Exactly! So do what you want!"

Lindsay looked slightly fretful, "Oh, um…no I…I think I will go to bed." She placed her hand on her plump stomach, "I do want a healthy baby."

Paula watched her closely before saying, "You do know you're giving it up right?"

Lindsay looked to her older sister with wide blue eyes before forcing up a smile quickly saying, "Well like duh! Mom's been saying it like over and over," She sighed, "And over and over."

Again Paula watched her sister closely before leaning in close with a pointed look, "Sooo…?"

Lindsay looked to her sister with a curious tilt of her head.

"I know we've been over this like a thousand times but…who is the father?"

Lindsay instantly turned her gaze to the ground a slight pink tinge making it's way on her features.

"I-I already told you I can't tell you!"

It was the most damndest thing to find Lindsay in total refusal on claiming who the father was. Needless to say both her mother and father were very displeased about that! Paula had found it more curious than anything, Lindsay was never particularly good at keeping secrets yet here she was acting as if she were upholding the world's most top secret information.

Paula gave her sister a bored glare, "Yeah you've said that before." She grumbled before pushing herself to her feet.

Lindsay looked to her sister, "Are you mad?"

Paula looked to her before giving a thoughtful look, then giving a shrug she replied, "No not really. Mom and dad are mad though." She smiled, "But It's totally cool. I guess I can understand you'd want to keep some secrets to yourself."

Lindsay returned the smile relieved.

"Come on." Paula said offering her hand out to her younger sister.

Taking the offer Lindsay pulled while Paula tugged (hard) till the blonde stood on her feet.

Heaving out an exhausting sigh Paula said, "Let's get you to bed."

"Yeah." Lindsay sighed slightly grudgingly.

"Hey, cheer up kid." Grinned Paula, "In about a month or so you'll be pushing that kid out. Then you'll be free as a bird!" her grin grew, "Then you'll be ready for season three!"

The corners of Lindsay's move twitched up in a light smile.

The popular show Total Drama Island and Total Drama Action were headed for their third season and it, of course, was inviting back its entire cast of insane teenagers! Luckily Lindsay's delivery was scheduled at least two months before the casts return.

"Yeah, I know I so can't wait!"

Paula chuckled at that. She wasn't entirely sure about Lindsay's role as the dumb blonde of the show but Lindsay was happily excited about making a name for herself with her starting career as a highly popular reality TV star, so Paula let it be.

They entered Lindsay's room talking about mundane things as Lindsay readied herself for bed. Finally once settled in Paula said her goodnight and made her way toward the door promising to be back first thing in the morning.

"Hey wait!" Cried Lindsay causing her sister to turn back to her curiously.

She grinned, "Aren't you, like, going to say goodnight to baby too?"

Paula sighed though her face broke into a soft smile, "Oh right." She chuckled making her way back to her younger sister, "How could I have forgotten?"

Sitting down on the bed next to her sister she pulled the covers back revealing the plump stomach.

"Good night baby niece or nephew." She gave a kiss to Lindsay's stomach before saying, "But I hope to god you're a niece."

Lindsay laughed, as Paula smiled lovingly down at her younger sister. She knew that Lindsay would not be keeping the kid but she also knew it humored her when they spoke as if the child would really be staying with them.
It was really just a fun pretend pastime between sisters so to speak.

"See you tomorrow sis." She called once she made her way back to the door.

Lindsay smiled, "See ya!" she called pulling the covers back up to her chest.

Turning off the lights Paula then made her way back into the living room grabbed her purse and turned off the living room TV once done making sure all the lights in the house were turned off she then made her way out the house toward her parked car.

As she made her way down the dark driveway she couldn't help but think for about the millionth time since finding out about Lindsay's pregnancy just why, not once, had the father not contacted her little sister since? She knew he knew, whoever he was, for once while pestering Lindsay for answers she had asked if she had at least alerted the father. At first it seemed as though Lindsay wasn't even going to answer her that simple question, but after a moments silence she simply replied,

"Yes." blue eyes saddening just slightly.

Paula snorted bringing her hands up casually to rest behind her head, "Whoever he is," Said the blonde girl slightly grudgingly, "He must be some hell of a jerk." If she ever found out who it was she swore she'd kick his ass!

She soon then made her way into her car, started it up and took off toward her school.

~*~*~

A few hours later Lindsay continued to sleep tangled quite comfortably underneath her covers. So comfortably in fact she completely missed the sound of the window breaking in, or the heavy footsteps that made their way slowly toward the young girl's room, or the sound of her room door opening silently.

It wasn't until she was shaken gently awake by a deep voice that she came to alert but before she could even so much as make a squeak the cold hard steel of a gun was placed against her temple her blue eyes widened and she froze...

Then came a low voice, "Ssshhh, not a sound."

Hours later Lindsay's room was ram sacked, her drawer's outturned, clothes and a suitcase missing, and Lindsay was gone.
