Chasing Champions

What the hell are we going to do?

Sammy POV:

As Hunter and I just sit there I hear the back door open behind me, but neither of us take our eyes off each other. Both knowing we had to tell them what might happen, but neither wanting to be the one to break it to them. When they reach us I could feel Chase rest his hands on my shoulders and that's what breaks Hunter and I eye contact. I look back over my shoulder to see Layla and Jett holding onto each other looking at me in nervous worry. I bit my lip and look back at Hunter, only to sigh when he was just as hopeless as I was about how to tell them. All I could do is wave my hand for them to sit down. After they did Jett speaks up,

"Ok, what's going on? Because this is weird with how quite Hunter is right now with everything"

I couldn't help but snort in agreement as Chase coughs to cover up a laugh. Hunter just slaps his face with a groan and Layla couldn't help but giggle quitely, and poor Jett just looks clueless. I shook my head and finally said,

"While Hunter and I were talking, I was hit with a thought. Jett your 18 now and Layla is still a minor. Her parents can come after you for rape of a minor if they think of it."

I could see the dawning horror on the twos faces as Chase swore under his breath. I could see Jett sitting there face pale and his eyes were wide with pure fear, and I could see he was breathing pretty fast in panic. Layla wasn't fairing much better and that wasn't good for her or the baby. I quickly get up only to have my stomach roll harshly from the stress and panic I have been trying to keep at bay, but I just push it down and walk up to them. Kneeling down I lay a hand on their knees and they snap their heads to me, and my heart breaks at them looking so lost and afraid. I lightly squeeze their knees and say,

"You two need to calm down, it's not good for you Layla or your baby. Look at what happened to me. Now I think I have a idea about how to hopefully get around all of this. But It's up to Chase."

I turn my head and look at him before asking,

"I'm really sorry to throw this at you after everything you already been through with me and what you got going on but, the only way that I could think of was for me to adopt her or even just become her guardian even. Because I don't think the courts will let her become emancipated since she doesn't have a steady income and all. We may be young but we are successful and have the means to take care of her if her parents aren't willing. But it's up to you."

I could see the three that didn't know my plan looking at me in disbelief and Hunter mutters,

"I really don't want to know how you can come up with ideas like this on the fly. I really don't"

With a slight smile towards Hunter I turn back to Chase as he starts to speak,

"Honestly I wouldn't mind. And I agree with what you said love. I can't think of another way out of this if they do come up with that."

I could see the relief on Layla's face as she leans against Jett, but she's still looked extremely pale, and then I notice that her hand was on her stomach and it clicked,

"Jett, get Layla to the bathroom. She's gonna hurl."

And before Jett could move Layla was already dashing off, making Jett rush after her in panic. With a snort I turn to the boys who were looking towards where they just ran off to and said,

"I really hope he doesn't freak out everytime, he better get used to it since it's going to be happening a lot for awhile and all."

We all look at each other and laugh, thinking he will freak out over every little thing. I felt a little light headed but I know when I calm down some I will be fine. After a few minutes they come back out with Layla looking tired but ok and Jett still wide eyed. I look at Layla as she comes to stand off the the side of me and leans into Jetts hold with a sigh and asks,
