Thirty-One

"Have a good day, I love you," I kissed Sam goodbye. He was constantly in the studio with Nate, and he was working his ass off. When he wasn't in the studio he was writing at home with Raina as his little side-kick. He would have her in one arm while he wrote with the other. She of course loved it - she loved Sam. We had only been out in L.A. for about a month, and I have seen my dad, Jag and Su nearly every day. Dad even got me a job at his company and said that he would promote me when I finished school and had my degree. I was constantly going out to lunch with him, and Jag was always over at the apartment. I loved having them around, and every Saturday morning I would meet up with Su and we'd go jogging in the park. Of course she was more advanced than I was, I would make it about five minutes and I wanted to curl up under the closest bridge and take a nap.

My phone buzzed on the table and I walked over to it seeing that it was Jagger so I answered it. "Hey, Jag," I smiled.

"Bay, can you meet me at LuLu's?" He sounded worried about something.

"Yeah, sure. Is everything alright?"

"Yeah, I just need to talk to you about something." He hung up and I stuffed my phone into my pocket. She was propped up by pillows and making random babbling noises. I smiled and walked over to her and planted a kiss on her forehead causing her to squeal. She was developing such a fun personality - sometimes I would just sit and watch her. She was quite amusing, she would making random noises, and throw her arms up in the air. She loved when Sam would come home, and when he would pick her up she would grin so wide.

"Let's go see uncle Jag," I said brushing down her light dark brown hair. I slipped her shoes on, and a little cardigan since it was a little windy. I grabbed my car keys, and locked up the apartment. The woman in the nextdoor apartment absolutely adored Raina, and sometimes she would even watch her for me if Su couldn't. She was waiting on the elevator and as soon as she saw us she waved. "Hi, Kelly," I smiled at her.

"Hey you two," she smiled. Raina grinned when she saw her and squealed causing the two of us to laugh. "Someone's in a very good mood today."

"She's always a happy baby," I smiled at Raina. We got on the elevator and within seconds we were in the lobby. I placed her in her carseat, and started up the car setting out for LuLu's frozen yogurt shop. The traffic wasn't as bad as it usually was, it was such an odd hour of the day. It was Thursday and it was the time right after lunch when everyone was back at work. When I parked the car, I saw Jag sitting at the table we always sat at. He waved when he saw me, and stood up to hug me. "Hey."

"I went ahead and got your favorite," he said pointing to the frozen yogurt. I grinned at him and Raina started stirring in my arms, so he picked her up. "Hey, princess," he kissed her forehead and we sat down.

"So, what's up?" I asked taking a spoonful of the frozen treat. He sighed and bit on his lower lip. "Jag..."

"You can't judge me okay?" He seemed so guarded and I wasn't sure why. He knew that he could tell me anything and I wouldn't judge him. I was his big sister - and as his big sister I promised I would support him.

"I won't, you know that," I said. He sighed and smiled when Raina grabbed his hand. "Look, even she's apart of your support system," I giggled.

"I'm just scared because I don't know how anyone's going to react," his bottom lip was quivering.

"Just tell me," I reached over and placed my hand on top of his. "I'm here for you."

"I'm gay," he said finally. At first I didn't fully process what he had said, but when I did I smiled causing him to look worried.

"Jag," I squeezed his hand. "That's why you were scared? I thought you killed someone or something."

"Y-you're not mad?" He asked.
