"Remind me never to have triplets again."
"Ok. Rita, don't have triplets again." Zac joked.
Taylor laughed.
"I still can't get over that. No one had any idea there were two more in there. So, Zac why are you so cheery this morning?"
"Well, I just might not tell you."
"Ok suit yourself."
Taylor and Rita smiled at each other, knowing at any second Zac would burst...
"Oh ok! I think, I think I might finally be getting somewhere with Cassie. See, I rang her up this morning and when I said good bye, I said 'love you' like I always do to her, and this time she said 'love you too'." Zac sighed happily.
"Wow, gee, congratulations Zac." Taylor answered drolly.
"Party-pooper. As for that I'm not gonna tell you the other thing."
"What other thing?"
"The thing I'm not gonna tell you."
Rita laughed.
"Oh no." She said as one of the kids started crying.
"I'll get it." Taylor said.
"Ok, now that he's gone," Zac said, "I can tell you the other thing."
"Oh? And what's that?"
"I over heard Ike talking to Tanya on the phone just before I rang Cassie."
"You shouldn't eavesdrop."
"Details, details. Any way, it doesn't matter, he was so happy he told me anyway."
"Which means Taylor will probably find out too."
"Argh, are you gonna let me tell you or not?"
Rita giggled. Zac took that as a 'yes'.
"Ike and Tanya are officially a couple." Zac told her smugly. "See? We could all see that coming. The tabloids have been predicting it for ages. But now it's finally happened! And now I get to tease him about it."
"You love teasing your brothers huh?"
"Madam." Zac said, adopting an English accent. "My whole purpose in life is to annoy the heck out of my brothers. That, and drum bashing, singing and head banging."'
Rita just laughed.
