Stuck Between Brothers

Chapter 12: Telling The Parents

After I was discharged from the hospital, Uncle Donnie drove me home. He was still weary of the decision we made, and the fact that I was even having a baby. He was really upset that Josh stormed out and left me when we first found out, only to come back and say he wanted to step in. The fact that Lucas showed up tells me that he probably went and talked to his brother. I still cant believe Lucas just tried to decide what I was going to do. Josh went home when he left the hospital and packed a bag. He's partially moving in with us. Uncle Donnie was hesitant at first, but then Josh said 'I cant get her more pregnant'. That earned a chuckle from everyone in the room. Tiara went home with the promise to bring me all my assignments from school.

I go to my dresser and move things around so Josh can have his own space here. I feel like we are moving way too fast, but having him here feels good.

"Knock knock!" Josh says as he opens my bedroom door.

"Its your room now, Josh. You don't have to knock." I roll my eyes at him. "I cleared you 3 drawers here and theres extra hangers in the closet." I point to the closet, as if he didnt already know where the closet was. I mentally facepalm myself. Josh walks over to me and brings me in for a hug.

"Hey, relax. We dont have to do this right now, Judey Girl. I can take my stuff home, and we can ease in to this." He says while rubbing my arms.

"No, no. I want you here." I smile up at him. He bends down and kisses me so softly, I barely felt it.

"Well lets get you to bed then, mama." He turns me towards the bed and smack me on the butt.

"Why are you calling me mama?" I raise an eyebrow while crawling under the covers.

"Just trying something new." He shrugs as he lays down beside me.

"When are we going to tell my parents?" He asks.

"Ummm... tomorrow?" The thought of facing them scares me. I bounced between their sons and got knocked up by one of them. I feel so embarrassed.

"They love you Jude. Sometimes, I think yhey love you more than me and Lucas. They may be a little disappointed at first but it will work out." He rolls towards me and kisses me.

"I hope so. I hate that I would do anything to disappoint them. I cant imagine what they will think of me." Josh pulls me closer to him and kisses my lips again.

"They will always love you."

"What about Lucas. When are we going to tell him hes off the hook?" I ask.

"I'll go over and talk to him before we tell my parents." I nod against his chest, unable to keeps my eyes open anymore.

"Thanks for always taking care of me Joshie." I whisper.

"Alway, Judey Girl." I welcomed the darkness of sleep.

-----------------------------------------------

The next morning, I wake up and stretch out. I reach for Josh, but his side is empty. Sitting up, I looked around for him and saw a note left on my night stand.

Judey Girl,

I left early to go and talk with Lucas. I'll be back before you know it.

All my lovings,

Josh.

I smile and lay back down. I dont get to lay down long before my mouth starts to water and my stomach starts to turn. I jump out of bed and run to the bathroom just in time to empty my stomach. Sitting on the floor, I hear the bathroom door open.

"Hey baby, you ok?" Josh peeks his head in. Nodding, I attempt to stand up.

"Woah easy girl." Josh rushes to steady me.

"Im not a f*****g horse, Josh." I snap at him. His face fell and instantly I feel guilty.

"I'm sorry! I'm so sorry! I didnt mean to snap. I just hate throwing up so much." I can feel tears start to form in my eyes. Stupid hormones.

"Shhhh. Its ok baby." He leans down to try and kiss me and I immediately pull away.

"I am not letting you kiss me puke mouth."

"Good call." He winks at me and walks out of the bathroom. Once I pee, and brush my teeth, I head back to my room. Our room. Its now our room. Mine and Josh's. Josh's and mine. I still cant believe we are together. He's finally mine.

Josh is laying in our bed scrolling on his phone when I walked in. He sits up on the edge of the bed when he notices me.

"Come here." He instructs me and points in front of him. I walk over to him, and he wraps his arms around my waist. He kisses my belly gently and whispers to our daughter. I couldnt hear what he was saying.

"What are you telling her?" I asked.

"Just that she is the most precious thing in the world and already loved by so many." He smiles at me. He really is in love with this baby.

"So... how did the talk with Lucas go?" I ask.

"He didnt handke it the best. He was certain he was your first. You even told him yesterday he was your first. He said you even bled when yall... Anyways, I just told him that its what happened and that the timing adds up. I told him that this baby is really mine and told him congratulations on being an uncle. He didnt really seem to buy it much, but I showed him the ultrasounds and how big she is. Even if he doesnt fully believe it, I think he'll drop it since he doesnt want to be responsible." Josh shrugs and pulls me in to his lap.

"Ok.." Thats really all I have to say. It hurts to know that Lucas really doesnt want this baby that bad. That he would believe that I slept with Josh one day and him the next. Just goes to show how he really thinks of me.

"Penny for your thoughts?" Josh breaks me from my mind.

"It just hurts that Lucas would really believe I slept with you one day and him the next. I just feel like he must really think so low of me." I sigh.

"Its not that he thinks low of you. He just wanted an out and we gave him one." Josh readjusts me to where I'm straddling his lap. He nuzzles his head in the crook of my neck.

"I love you Jude." He starts kissing up my neck.

"I love you too, Josh." I say as his lips meet mine. I feel a fire light deep within me and I couldnt stop myself from grinding down in to him. He groans in to my mouth and I bite his bottom lip. He grants me entrance to his mouth and our tongues dance together. His hands move from my back to my sides. They then find my n*****s and he pinches them. I couldnt stop the moan that left me.

"U-Uncle Donnie..." I whisper as he kisses his way down my chest. He sucks my left n****e in to his mouth, and I can feel his tongue swirling around it. I pick up my pace of grinding in to him.

"Your Uncle left for work at 6. He wont be home for ahwile." Josh says while moving to my right n****e and giving it the same attention. His right hand moves to tweak my left n****e while I chase the orgasm. In the blink of an eye, Josh stands up and flips us around. My back hit the bed and his lips found mine again. Thankfully I'm just wearing a cami and pj shorts. He slides the straps down fully exposing my breasts to him. Groaning he crashes his lips against mine again. His fingers slowly made their way down to my shorts. He paused waiting for permission, I rock my fingers up towards him and thats all it took. He leaned back and took his shirt off. Next went my shorts. Then he pulled my cami down and off towards my legs. Im fully exposed to him. Placing kisses all over my body, he made sure not to leave anything untouched. I have never been more turned on in my life. He made his way down and sucked in a sharp breath.

"Youre soaking wet Jude." Before I could respond, he dove right it. His mouth and tongue and fingers worked me in a way I didnt know was possible. It didnt take long before I came all over him. He looked up at me and I could see my juices wet on his chin.

"I need more." I whisper to him. I just needed him inside me. He wasted no time stripping off the remainder of his clothes and kissed his way up my body.

"You sure?" He asked. I nodded my head at him and thats all it took. He plunged inside me and I cried out. He was definitely bigger than what I was used to. His movements and the way his hips met mine were so perfect that it didnt take long for me to come undone again. I was screaming out in pleasure.

"Kiss me." Josh says. I kiss him as hard as I can. sucking his tongue in my mouth as he groans out in his own pleasure.

"You feel so good Jude."

I sit up with him and flip us over so that I'm on top. I start bouncing and rocking my hips. Switching it up here and there. As I feel another wave coming, I sink all the way down and start grinding myself against him.

"Thats it, baby girl." He says. Just as I started to release, he wraps his hand in my hair and pulls it back. Then he thrusts upwards hard and fast until he spills inside of me. I never thought I'd enjoy my hair being pulled, but I really did enjoy that.

"That...was amazing." I breathe out and lay down on him. Josh pushes my hair out of my face and kissed my forehead.

"It was. It definitely was." He chuckles. I sit up and glare at him.

"Whats so funny?" I ask. How can he site there and laugh after what we just shared? I climb off him and start grabbing my clothes angrily.

"Baby, stop it. I wasnt laughing at you." He grabs me and turns me towards the bed. He stands behind me and points at a wet spot big the size of my pillow.

"I was laughing because the bed is soaking wet and I was laying in it." He chuckles again while kissing my neck.

"Ummm. Is that normal?" I ask. Sure there were times with Lucas that I had small wet spots when we were done, but nothing like this.

"It just means I did my job right." Conceited much?

"Sure thing, buddy." I pat his houlder as I walk to my bathroom. I need a shower. Josh follows me.

"Buddy?" Hurt was playing in his voice. I turn and look at him and smile.

"Want to join me?" I ask. He perked up and ran to me picking me up bridal style as he walked in the bathroom. I turned the water on and adjusted it to the right temp and pulled the tab for the shower. We could not keep our hands off eachother. He helped me wash my hair and body. He paid special attention to my more sensitive areas. After awhile the water ran vold and we had to get out.

"You ready?" He asked while wrapping a towel around me.

"For what?"

"We're going to tell my parents today." Oh. I forgot about that. I start biting my nails as I look at him.

"Cant we just wait until shes born and then surprise them?" I ask. Josh laughs as we walk in to my room. He leads me to the vanity and has me sit down. Then grabbing my brush, he went to work on my hair. Braiding it to perfection.

"I need all the practice I can get. Ill be styling our daughters hair before too long." He whispers in my ear after he finished the braid. I turn to him and give him a smile.

"She's lucky to have you." I whisper. I felt a pang in my chest because it hit that Ill never get to share those moments with my dad again. I make a promise to myself to get as many pictures and videos of them together so she will forever be able to cherish her daddy.

After we get dressed, Josh grabs the ultrasounds and my hand and starts walking towards the front door.

"Are you sure we cant just move?" I ask. "I mean we can skip out of town and find a new place to call home and..." He cut me off with a kiss.

"It will be fine. Ill be there with you the whole time." He whispers in my ear.

As we walk across the street, my stomach is doing flips. When we finally make it inside I smell food. I look at Josh and take off to the bathroom. This stupid morning sickness. I made it to the toilet just in time. This is going to suck. Josh walks in and grabs a wash cloth. After wetting it, he pats it against my forehead and cleans my mouth for me. He grabs my tooth brush that I leave here and helps me brush my teeth.

"Hey, you kids good in there?" I head Mr. Andrews say through the door.

"Uhh, yeah dad. Well be right out. "

"Ok. Mom made chicken and dumplings." I could hear his footsteps fade as he walked away.

"I...I dont think I can handle the smell Josh." I say as I start to gag again.

"Go to my room and wait for me there." He tells me as he pulls my shirt up over my nose. I walk out of the bathroom and straight to Josh's room I close the door and go sit on his bed. Laying down, I pull his blanket over my head and breathe in the clean scent.

"Jude?" I hear Mrs. Bettie call out for me. I sit up and pull the blanket down and try to control my breathing. If I do shallow breaths, I dont feel as sick. I look towards Mrs. Bettie and see that Josh and his dad are also in the room.

"Hey Mrs. Bettie. Mr. Andrews." I give a shy little wave.

Josh shuts his door and walks over to the bed and sits with me. He points to the chair at his desk and says,

"Mom, you may want to sit down."

"Whats going on Josh? Jude?" Mr. Andrews looks between us.

"Well. Theres no easy way to say this, but you guys are going to be grandparents!" Josh acts enthused and does spirit fingers.

"Seriously?" Mrs. Bettie asks.

"How? Who? When? What?" Mr. Andrews spits out.

"Well I dont need to give you a lesson in s*x ed. I think you guys got that down. Me and Jude are having a baby together. Shes 15 weeks along." Josh answers the questions. Mrs. Bettie looks at me with tears in her eyes. She abeuptly stands up and walks out of the room. Mr. Andrews looks at us hard.

"I need a drink." He mumbles and walks out of the room.

"That went better than I expected." Josh chuckles as he turns to look at me. I already know I have tears running down my face.

"Baby, its ok. They'll ckme around." He kisses my head. I am so tired of crying. Every little thing opens the flood gates.

knock knock

Someone knocked on the door and I sucked in a breath. Mrs. Bettie walks in. She walks straight to me and grabs me up in a hug.

"I'm so sorry Jude! I failed you. I shouldnt have let you spend all those nights or encouraged you and the boys' friendships." She's sorry? I wrap my arms tightly around her.

"Dont apologize. Im old enough to know what I'm doing. I shouldve been more careful."

"AND YOU!!" She turns to Josh and starts swatting at him. "I raised you better than this! I demonstrated the condom on the banana, we gave you the safe s*x speech over and over again. "

"Ow ow ow, mom! Stop it."Hosh rubs his now red arm.

"It was the heat of the moment mom!" Josh yells out as she smacks him in the back of the head.

"Heat of the moment my ass."

"Mrs. Bettie? Would you like to see your granddaughter? " I ask trying toend the assault on Josh. Her eyes light up and she nods her head. I pull out the pictures and hand them over to her. Her hand covers her mouth as she takes in the little bundle of joy.

"Gran-granddaughter?"She asks and I nod.

"CHARLES GET IN HERE!!!" She yells for Josh's dad. I could hear him grumbling as he walked in.

"What do you want, woman!" He looks tipsy already.

"W-were going to have a granddaughter. A little girl. We'll have our own little girl runningaround here" She cries out and runs to him and shows him the pictures.

"Well I'll be!" He smiles then adds, "Im not really sure what I'm looking at here." His eyebrows scrunch as he squints at the pictures. Josh walks over and proudly points out the different parts of our daughter.

Mr. Andrews walks over to me and pulls me in for a hug.

"I already had my own little girl running around here." Be kisses my head and walks back out of the room. Mrs. Bettie grumbles something and follows him out, she looks back and gives me a warm smile before closing the door. I couldnt help the smile that formed on my face. The Andrews have always accepted me in to their family, I was always welcome here. They've loved and trested me like one of their own for my entire life. I had good reason to be nervous, but I felt relieved now that it's all out there. I snuggle back down in to Josh's bed.

"I need a nap." I tell him through yawns. " Lay with me?"

"Of course." He says as he crawls in to bed with me. He lays behind me and pulls me to his chest and it took seconds for sleep to find me.
