Author's Note: Just an FYI, there will be multiple POV changes in this chapter, as there are some serious things happening with the Lynch family.

Trigger Warning: Abuse. (You don't actually read the abuse happening but we do see the aftermath.)

Easy On Me - Adele

My heart pounds in my chest as I remove my hand from his back, gripping my phone with both hands tightly as I read further

My heart pounds in my chest as I remove my hand from his back, gripping my phone with both hands tightly as I read further.

"Babe, what's wrong?" I quickly stand up, pacing the room as I scroll down.

"Maybe he'll learn to wear a condom after this."

"How many other kids does he have, that we don't know about?

"Sorry girls, looks like you ended up in the wrong bed. Good luck."

I was mad- No, I was furious. Of course I knew it wasn't true, but that didn't matter. Everyone else was going to think so. Even if we did get the situation cleared, everyone would still be wondering if it was.

"Evelyn. What's going on?" He stood up as I placed my phone in his hands.

After a second he dropped his gaze from me, down to my phone. The minute he processed the words he had just read, his face turned to anger. "What the fuck?" He spat out, his dark brows coming together. "You know this isn't true, right?" He says as I nod my head.

"Yeah, but who would say that?"

He sighed, rubbing his temple with his fingers. "Crazy puck bunnies, who are jealous, I guess." He said, sitting on the edge of the bed. He placed my phone back on the nightstand before he grabbed the back of my thighs, making me walk towards him.

"You don't think.." I stopped myself before I sounded insane.

"What?"

"Never mind, it's crazy."

"Can't be crazier than that." He said, nodding his head towards my phone.

"You don't think my dad would have something to do with this, do you?" I ask as he thinks for a second.

"I mean, it's possible. I don't think we should rule it out." He says as I slowly nod.

"I mean, it's odd that my mom finally called me after months of not speaking to me, the same day this happens. Right?"

"Hmm..." He says, resting his head on my stomach, "That is weird." My hands tangle into his hair as he rubs the back of my thighs, soothingly.

"Maybe, you should call her back." He says hesitantly, lifting his head up to look at me.

I sigh, "Maybe.."

"We'll be right here the whole time." He reassures, giving my belly a little kiss. "Won't we bud." He says as I giggle.
