Don't You Worry Bout A Thing

Chapter 15:

*major smut warning*

It's been three days since André put his hands on his daughter, Tori has kept to herself not wanting to even speak to her husband until he apologized to their daughter. Averie hasn't let her father touch her, not even hug her. JoJo "you wanna go talk to him", Tori "no I don't. I don't wanna talk to him", JoJo "you're gonna have to eventually, he's your husband. Y'all love each other", Tori "but what he did wasn't right", JoJo "I understand that but he is still your husband. You're gonna have to speak to him", Tori "I know that and I'm just not ready yet", JoJo "okay, did it frighten you when he hit her? Or did it really hurt you", Tori "it hurt more than it hurt her. Just seeing him hit her, and put his hands on her", JoJo "did you ask her how she felt about this"? Tori "the day it happened I couldn't get myself to do it so the next day I asked her and she told me she was a bit frightened of her dad. She didn't quite understand why he did it, and she was so heartbroken because her daddy is her everything. Not saying that I'm not, but she loves her dad, they have the sweetest bond", JoJo "you need to talk to him, even if the two of don't make up you need to chat", Tori "can we talk", she asked her husband, André "sure", Tori "I'm not gonna sit here and hide my feelings about what you did three days ago, but I do need to know how you feel about the whole situation, because in a way I'm upset, angry. Mad all at once", André "and I'm not gonna lie feel the same exact way. I feel so bad for what I did, like I don't know what took over me, but I felt more than upset and bad after it happened", Tori "I'm sorry that I haven't been able to look at you, or even kiss you. It's just when you did what you did, I took her side immediately because she's the victim in the situation", Tori pressed her lips against André's lips, Tori "I love you", André "I love you too baby", Tori "now we have to get Averie and bring her into this conversation, so she could get a proper apology from you", André "okay", Tori went to her daughter's room, Averie was working on missing you r and b version", Tori "hey baby girl", Averie "hey mommy", Tori "so daddy wants to properly apologize to you for what he did", Averie "okay", Averie didn't hesitate to follow Tori back to the other room, the two of them went into the room and closed the door. Averie didn't hesitate to wrap her arms around her dad's neck, hugging him tightly as ever. André "I'm so sorry baby. I'm so sorry for putting my hands on you and for using the wrong solution a problem. I will never put my hands on you ever again. Do you forgive me princess", Averie "of course I forgive you daddy", the two of them hugged, then decided to keep it as a chill day and they watched a couple of movies. Ashley "you're sister is an amazing mother", JoJo "it's her favorite thing in the world, being with them".

So earlier today I posted a video of my daughter singing this song, that's one thing she shares with me, singing with her will always be my favorite thing that we do together. But seeing her grow and seeing her learn to do ballads on her own, and to hit notes no one else could hit the proper way is just amazing, it takes dedication and patience. It's not gonna happen overnight, it's really not, but with time you can get better. My daughter has always been nervous and scared to sing this specific song because at the end near the bridge is a really hard riff, and that riff always held her back from singing this song, but she pushed her fear of singing it aside and nailed it, I'm so proud of her.

JoJo "can we talk", Tori "sure. What's going on", JoJo "I think I'm pregnant", Tori "how would that work, Ashley's a girl. She can't just get you pregnant. That's not scientifically possible", JoJo "I'm not saying by Ashley", Tori "then by who", JoJo "Aaron", Tori "as in the male lead who originally played the part of Christian", JoJo "how did that happen? He was only in one of the shows you performed in", JoJo "we got really drunk that night, and we just hooked up", Tori "does Ashley know any of this", JoJo "no. I'm afraid to tell her. She'll break up with me", Tori "you need to tell her, keeping it a secret won't make anything better. And you of all people should know that", JoJo "I'm scared to tell her", Ashley "tell me what", Tori "I'm leaving you, tell her. You need to tell her. I'm not doing it for you, your my older sister and I know you have it in you to tell her. So tell her", Ashley "tell me what", JoJo "please don't get mad at me, I was drunk, like super drunk and didn't think something would happen, but things got out of control", Ashley "tell me what", JoJo "I'm pregnant. It's Aaron's. I'm so sorry", JoJo broke down completely in tears, Ashley was shocked and didn't know what to say. But she knew the only thing that mattered at the moment was making sure JoJo was okay. Ashley wrapped her arms around her, Ashley "we'll figure out together. I'm not mad, even if I was. I could never stay mad at you", JoJo "I know".
