Chapters Warnings: Teen Pregnancy, swearing?

Y/n means your name. N/n means nickname. I feel like it's kinda pointless to keep telling you that but whatever.

On also... Like I know very little about his family.. So what I am using is all that I know about them... Also you are gonna refer to Carly's husband as uncle in this.. Just cause I grew up referring to my biological aunt and uncle's spouses as aunt and uncle so like idk if you guys do that too but whatever.

It was the day after the appointment and you sat on the couch nervously. Your dad was on the phone, and Scott was on his way over. You decided to go slowly on telling everyone who don't know your pregnant that your are, starting with Scott who you believe would be the least judgemental about it. Chris was going to be with you when you told him. Scott walked in taking in your nervous form staring into the distance.

"Y/n?" Scott snapped you from your thoughts. "You okay?" He asked you taking a seat next to you.

"Uh yeah..." You looked toward the kitchen where your dad had disappeared. When you realized he probably wouldn't be coming out for a little while you looked at Scott. "I'm pregnant. That's why mom kicked me out... I'm keeping the baby. And the dad doesn't want to be in their life." You rambled nervously and almost too fast for him to understand what you said. He looked at you surprised not saying anything for a moment.

"Your having a baby at fifteen?" He asked you cautiously after a few minutes, you hesitated but nodded. "And the dad is Jake?" He asked you again you nodded. "Okay." He said.

"Okay?" You questioned.

"Okay." He pulled you into a hug as you sighed in relief. Chris walked in looking at you two hugging.

"Did you tell him?" Chris asked you once you pulled out of the hug.

"Yeah."

"Your gonna be a grandpa." Scott began to teased him. "Old man."

"I'm not that old am I?" Chris frowned.

"I mean... Your not exactly young." You said shrugged. He gave you a playful glare. "Well I'm going to go to my room call me down when they get here."

You excused yourself upstairs to your room, leaving the two men to talk. "She's going to be a mom? How do you know if she can handle that?" Scott ask Chris.

"It's her choice at this point we both know I didn't want this! But I can't force her to abort! I couldn't just tell she would fail at being a mom! I think she'll do fine she's a strong kid you and me both know that.." Chris said sitting on the couch next to Scott.

"Well I'm here to help you both.. I'll tell her when she comes back."

"Thanks she's been stressing about telling everyone." Chris said sighing.

"But what about the media? They're going to notice when she grows a baby bump."

"We'll figure that out when we get there." Chris said shrugging.

---

You sat in your bedroom looking down at your belly where a baby would be growing, your baby. You still can't believe that. You sighed, whenever your alone you process what all happened, the breakup and your mom kicking you out being what you've been thinking about lately since you decided to keep the baby. You dated him for a year and knew him for most of your life but he gave it all up after you found of you were pregnant. Your mom, you always thought she'd never just give up on you, but now your living with your dad which means you'd probably be going back and forth from LA and Boston with your kid until you were old enough to not need to live with Chris.

Our thoughts were broken from Chris calling you downstairs after a half hour.

"Ready to tell everyone else cause they're on their way." Your dad told you once you made it to the living room. He had invited them all over for a small family get together since it's been so long since you've seen most of them. So your aunts, cousins and grandma were coming over and you were going to have to tell them. You were going to tell your grandpa later.

"Yeah." You said sighing as Dodger jumped on your lap licking your hand. You moved you hand petting him.

"Chris said your not going to name the baby after him... So are you going to name them after your favorite uncle?" Scott asked breaking the tension.

"Maybe." You giggled as your dad let out a hurt gasp.

"But not after your own dad?""

"I only said maybe.." You said rolling your eyes, as the doorbell rang letting you know that your aunt, her husband, and your cousins were here. "Okay I'm not ready. I don't know why I said I was ready I'm most definitely not." You said sighing. Chris gave you a reassuring smile as they walked into the living.

"Y/n!" Your youngest cousin, Miles ran into your arms his brother and sister closely behind.

"Miles!" You hugged the three younger kids smiling.

"Hi Aunt Carly, Uncle Ryan." You said looking up at the pair smiling. Your cousins pulled away from the hug going to play with Dodger so you hugged Carly.

"Hey y/n." She said once you pulled from the hug.

"Uh.. ��I have to tell you guys something." You said hesitantly. They nodded, looking at you curiously, Ethan the oldest of the three of your cousins, looked at you as well but you didn't notice. "I'm pregnant... And that's why I moved back to boston... Mom kicked me out." You mumbled. Well they weren't expecting that.

"Your only fifteen." Ryan said

"Mhmm..." You nodded looming at the floor.

"I thought only adults could get pregnant?" Your only female cousin, Stella asked. You looked at her not knowing how to respond.

"Why don't we go play with dodger outside..." Scott said taking the kids to the yard with dodger ignoring Stella's question.

"Who's the dad?" Carly asked you.

"Jake."

"How far along are you?" She asked.

"Two months. I'm keeping the baby. Jake knows about the baby he was the first person I told." You said. She nodded hugging you again. You sighed in relief. After you hugged her, Ryan pulled you into one too.

"Told ya nothing to worry about." Chris teased when you sat down next to him.

"I still have to tell aunt Shanna and grandma. Then I have to tell grandpa." You said rolling your eyes at him.

"And you have to explain to Stella not just adults can get pregnant." Ryan said.

"Okay, I didn't think they were listening!" You defended yourself.

"Well you'll have to get used to little kids being around your about to have one of your own." Carly said.

Scott and your cousins came back in after a few more minutes, Dodger following and jumping on your lap.

"N/n? How come your having a baby? We thought only adults could have babies?" Miles asked you stella standing next to him both of them looking at your curiously.

"Uh... I.." You looked at one of the adults for help but they just watched amused. "Wel-" you were cut off by your grandma walking in.  Your sighed in relief. "Look grandma is here!" You stood up going over to her hugging her.

"You didn't answer our question!" Miles demanded pouting at you. "How are you having a baby?" Your eyes widened as your cousin just revealed to your grandma that you are pregnant. Ethan was laughing at the look on your face.

"You're having a baby?" Your grandma asked you looking at you.

"In my defense! I was going to tell you that myself! But yeah... Your gonna be a great-grandma! Surprise?" You said sheepishly pulling out of the hug. You looked at Chris begging for help but all he did was shake his head an amused smile on his face.

"Is that why you moved back here?"  She asked.

"Yeah." You nodded, Miles and Stella stood beside you still awaiting your answer on how your having a baby, and Ethan's laughs had subsided after Carly shot him a warning glance.

"Answer our question!" Stella demanded pouting at you.

"She had Sex obviously!" Ethan said rolling his eyes. All eyes turned to him looking at him shocked.

"What's sex?" Miles asked. You tried your best not to laugh.

"Ethan! You can't tell your little siblings that!" Carly said.

"Miles don't worry about it. Uh go play with my old toys they're in my closet." You shooed your youngest cousins out of the room while, Carly and Ryan began to talk with Ethan on what's appropriate to tell your younger siblings. "Well! Wasn't that more event full then it should've been?" You asked Chris and Scott sitting next to them.

"Whos the father of the baby?" Your grandma asked you.

"My ex, Jake. I'm 8 weeks, and I'm keeping the baby." You said answering all the questions she could possibly ask.

"Okay." She smiled at you.

This definitely wasn't going as you expected. You excused yourself going with Ethan to find Miles and Stella. What your didn't know was your family were going to be discussing the information you just told them.

"Did she tell you?" Carly asked Chris.

"Her mom did. But I don't doubt that she would've on her own time if her mom didn't."

"Are you going to help her raise the baby? She's still a baby herself she can't raise one on her own." Lisa said.

"She made her decision. A hard one at that, her life just got flipped! I just have to help her." Chris said making it clear he wasn't going to turn against you. It seemed your family weren't either after his explanation.

Back with you, you sat in your room with your cousins, remembering how much you missed it. Missed being with your cousins and laughing. It was helping you forget everything that happened the past two weeks.

"What's Texas like?" Stella asked.

"It's nice." You said.

"Cool! Do you have to go back to texas in a few weeks?" Stella asked.

"Nope I'm here for good!" You said smiling.

"Yay!" Miles jumped onto your lap. "N/n? Why did you have to go back to Texas before?"

"Because my Mommy lived over there."

"But your daddy doesn't live there!" Stella said.

"I know but my mommy wanted me to live with her."

"So why are you living here now?" Ethan asked you but your pretty sure he knows.

"I made a mistake and she sent me here to help me fix the mistake." You explained laying back on your bed. Oh how you wish you never had to explain this to your cousins. How you wish you could go back a few weeks and say no. After a little bit Chris called you down so you could tell Shanna.

"Hi Aunt Shanna!" You said hugging her.

"Hey y/n." You guys walked to the couch to sit down and you gathered up all the courage you had to tell her.

"I have to tell you something." You mumbled. She nodded smiling at you. "Your gonna be a great aunt! And before you ask, yes that's why I live with dad again, I'm 8 weeks along, the baby's dad is Jake." You rambled looking at her sheepishly.

"Your pregnant?"  She asked looking over at your dad for confirmation he nodded.

"Yep..." You said sighing.

"And you keeping the baby?" She asked, to which you nodded. "Okay." You let out a relieved smile and hugged her.

"Well this went better then I expected." You said to everyone in the room. Chris chuckled as you plopped next to him on the couch beginning to catch up with your family on anything besides the baby. He was happy to see you relaxing though he did notice that whenever he found you alone the past few days you didn't see so relaxed. You were always in your thoughts, he had an idea of what it was about but didn't know how to talk to you about it, this was your first heartbreak. When you told him you had a boyfriend last year he assumed it would be over after a little while seeing as you were 14. He didn't expect it to last so long.

The Real Her

A/N: Candace comes clean to Benny.

Ever since the shooting, Benny had done his best to do the right things. He hadn't talked to Candace and even though he had told Mitch to call him for anything, he hadn't heard from or talked to him either. Benny had been there whenever Melissa, his siblings, niece and nephew needed something. He was trying to turn over a new leaf and do better. No one expected it from him, he knew they were waiting for him to slip up again so they could call him dumb but he wasn't going to let that happen.

Melissa was spending the night with Alaina and the kids so that Alaina could braid her hair before their baby arrived. Caleb and Cameron had gone to see about one of Cameron's rental properties that was having maintenance issues. Benny and Hanna were the only ones home, she was in the kitchen cooking while Benny stepped out onto the stoop for fresh air. The sun had already started to set by the time he sat down.

Every time Benny heard a loud noise or someone yell out to him, he panicked for a few seconds. He tried to stop his anxiety but he hadn't found a way to control it. The shooting had given him PTSD, according to his doctor but he didn't want to try therapy without trying to work through it himself.

"Benny, you got a second?"

His brown eyes made contact with his sister's. From her eyes her could see that she was dealing with something but that was of none of his concern.

"You know you're not supposed to be here, Candace. Just leave," he sighed staring out into the street.

She laughed a little leaning against the stone of the stoop. "Is that anyway to treat your big sister, B?"

"Don't go there, Candace. You know nobody in this house wants you around here. Say what you gotta say and leave before Mommy comes out here or Caleb gets back." He warned not looking at her.

Ever since she talked with Caleb, Candace's mind had been going a mile a minute. She knew he was right about everything. As much as she said she loved Benny, she knew she didn't. Something in her wouldn't allow it. She disliked him almost as much as she disliked their mama. But she felt bad.

"I just started feeling guilty and figured I should come by and tell you before someone else did," she explained. She watched Benny's eyes move from the thin traffic to her. "I'm sorry I didn't come see you after you got shot."

"That's what you came here for," he scoffed. "I had everybody I needed there. You would've bought extra drama and you know it. You and Mommy can't be in the same place as each other."

"I didn't come cause I thought the guy had better aim. I thought you were dead."

Benny held his head down, thinking about what she said. It didn't make sense to him.

He stood from the step, staring down at her. "What are you saying, Candace?"

"I'm saying that the person who shot you wasn't after Mitch. They were after you and I," she paused as he walked down the steps, "I was the one who sent them."

"I could have died, Candace! What the hell were you thinking? About some damn money?"

She folded her arms after taking taking a few steps back from her brother's towering frame. "I was thinking that Hanna took my son from me so I was gonna take hers. You were just collateral damage."

"Mommy didn't kill Lil Q, Candace! You did! You killed him with your vindictiveness and greed!" Benny yelled angrily.

"I didn't come here for that, Benny. I came here to tell you what happened so we can move on."

He screwed his face up at her words. "There is no moving on, Candace. You tried to kill me? Your own brother that you say you love! After all the shit I've done for you, even after what you put me through I was still there for your no good ass and defended you to Mommy! Like a dumbass I was always there and This," he yelled pointing to where his wounds were, "This is what you do! This is how you repay me! You try to kill me! I have a baby on the way, Candace! You almost took me from my family for some bullshit!"

No matter what Canace had planned on accomplishing with Benny, that went out the window as soon as he spazzed out on her. She watched him go off with an evil smirk.

"I don't care about any of that, Benny! You're as stupid as everybody says you are. I only dealt with you because I knew you follow me blindly no matter what that Holy bitch said. You're stupid and weak but you're her baby," she spat looking him up and down, "The only real way to hurt her is by using and hurting you, Benny. And I'll succeed just like every other time. I don't love you and never have, you're nothing but a pawn."

With his heart thumping and anger flowing through his veins, Benny snatched Candace by her throat with both hands choking her. He bent her backwards until she was on the ground. Watching her struggle under his grasp, Benny could only hear her words echoing in his head.

"Let go, Benjamin. Let her go," Hanna yelled from the stoop. She had been watching from the door since she heard Benny's first outburst. She could see he wasn't listening and was thankful that Cameron and Caleb had just pulled up.

Both men jumped out of Caleb's suv and ran over to Benny. Cameron pushed his hands against Benny's chest while Caleb wrapped his hands around Benny's wrist carefully pulling them away.

"Easy, B. Let her go," Caleb cooed softly. He looked into Benny's eyes as he repeated himself.

"Benjamin, let her go," Hanna yelled again.

Cameron looked at his mama then his father. He knew Hanna yelling wouldn't help.

"Go on in the house, Mama. We'll be in there in just a second. Right, Benny," he asked. "Tell mama you're coming in there, B."

Benny stared blankly at Cameron, his anger was still there but his grip on Candace's neck had loosened. Hanna watched a few seconds longer before retreating into the house.

Candace gasped for air as Caleb and Cameron pushed Benny away from her. Caleb whispered encouraging words into Benny's ear until his breathing slowed.

"If you thought this was over," Candace gasped out, "I'm just getting started."

"And I'll gladly finish it," Cameron snapped.

Once Caleb was able to get his boys into the house, he sent Cameron upstairs and Benny into the kitchen with Hanna. They needed to talk to Benny. Hanna stood at the counter, her hands braced on the edge as she stared at her distraught son.

"I told you that girl wasn't no good. We all told you that, Benjamin."

Benny stood against the wall with his head down. He didn't have anything to say to her or anyone else.

"Now look at you. You're heartbroken over your evil ass sister. Had you just listened to me, your ass wouldn't be in this shit," Hanna fussed. "But no you carried your ass around her like you know everything and don't know shit, Benjamin! I told you all along she was using you."

Caleb put a hand on her shoulder to calm her. He like everyone else in their family knew that Benny deserves to be fussed at a lot but to Caleb this wasn't one of those times.

"Take it easy, Hanna. He just found out his sister tried to kill him," Caleb whispered.

"I won't," she spat. "I've been telling that boy for how long to stay stay away from Candace's evil ass and he didn't listen."

"To be fair, she would've done this whether or not Benny was talking to her. She did this to hurt you."

Hanna threw her hands up, making her way out of the kitchen. "I don't care. Either way, he should've known better than to be around her for this long time then this shit wouldn't have hurt him this bad. End of story."

Caleb knew he should have gone behind Hanna but his fatherly instincts couldn't allow Benny to stand there like that. His body shook from the tears he cried, it broke Caleb's heart. No matter how dumb Benny was, no one deserved this. Walking around the kitchen to Benny, Caleb pulled his head to his chest allowing him to cry there. His body shook even harder as sobs passed through his lips.

"It's alright, Benny. It's alright. I got you, nothing is gonna happen to you. Nothing."
