“Yes. Your brother and sister are away at the moment,” Mitch’s father said.
Chase nodded.
“We’d better go and see them.”
They followed him into the sitting room. She saw her mother was sitting at the far end of the sofa. The moment her mother saw her, she ran to her.
“What is going on, honey? I’m terrified.”
Leah accepted her mother’s comfort. She felt safe in her arms.
“I think we need to all sit down,” Mitch said.
All of their parents sat down. Leah moved past all of the parents not looking at any one of them. She and her men stared at all six of the parents.
The concern on their faces made Leah feel guilty for worrying them. Mitch reached for her hand at the same time as Chase did.
“We’ve got something to tell you,” Chase said. “Leah, Mitch, and myself are going to have a baby.”
Leah knew that the way Chase said it was as subtle as he could be. Silence followed his words. She felt tears spring to her eyes. It was like being a child again waiting for punishment.
“You’re pregnant, Leah?” her dad asked.
She nodded her head. The words died in her throat. He looked so disappointed.
Both of her men tightened their grip on her.
“Who’s the father?” her dad asked.
Leah looked to her mother waiting for her to respond.
“Honey, I think Chase answered that when he said all three of them were starting a family.”
“I knew something was wrong. I fucking knew it,” Chase’s father said getting to his feet.
“Calm down, Dad,” Chase said. He didn’t leave her side.
“What is this? You couldn’t make a choice, and so you’re just going to make them wait for paternity? Is that it?”
She flinched away from the accusation in his voice.
“Back the fuck off, Dad.” Chase stood in front of her.
“I think we need to calm down.” Mitch’s father stood.
“How can you be so calm? One of those boys has knocked up my little girl.”
Closing her eyes, she leaned onto Mitch for comfort. He’d been quiet throughout it all. He held her hand tight.
The arguing continued.
“We always knew something was wrong. The three of them never should have remained friends.”
“She’s a slut.”
“Shut. The. Fuck. Up.” Mitch yelled the words. Everyone stopped. Leah stared at him, shocked. “I can’t believe you’re talking about Leah like that,” he said.
Chase stayed in front of her ready to pounce on anyone who came near her.
