Where Hearts Might Heal

Chapter 23

I smiled as I sat down sideways on Jay's lap. "Where you been?" Beck asked. 

"Talking to Tate then arguing with Trent." All three guys looked at me. "He called me weird. Is privater a word?" I asked. They all three shrugged. 

"Is everything okay with Tate?" Day asked. I nodded. 

"Yeah, he's fine." I replied. 

"What did he want?" Beck asked. 

"That's between us three. Not you." I replied. 

"Three?" Jay asked. My mouth dropped. 

"I meant two. I..." I trailed off. "I don't want to lie to you, but I don't know if they want me to tell anybody." I mumbled. Jay put his hand on my thigh. 

"It's okay. That's between you and my brother. I'm not going to make you tell me. Just because we're together doesn't mean you can't have secrets." He whispered. 

"Yes, it does. I want to know." Day whined. I rolled my eyes. 

"Let's go to bed. I'm tired." I told Jay, giving him a look. 

"Are you going to be okay sleeping?" Beck asked. I shrugged a shoulder. 

"I'm not sure, but I'm going to try." I told him as I headed to my room. "Jay, come on. I need your help." I snapped when Jay didn't move fast enough. 

"What the hell could you need his help with? Day, if you make a sexual remark, I'm going to punch you." Beck asked. 

"I can't take my pants off with one arm. If you'd like to help, then you could come instead. I just didn't think you'd want to help your sister do that." I replied. Beck made a face and nodded.

"Thank you." I mumbled with a sigh when Jay pulled my pants off. I'd had trouble with my buttons. He pressed a kiss to each of my thighs as he stood upright. "Don't tease me." I ordered. He just smiled at me. 

"Never." I bit my lip. I opened and closed my mouth a few times. 

"Marcy's pregnant." I blurted out. My eyes widened as his did. 

"That's what Tate wanted?" He asked. I hesitated then nodded. Jay sat down beside me. "Wow. I'm going to be an uncle to at least three babies." He whispered. I smiled at him. 

"Uncle Jay." He looked down at me. 

"I wonder how Mom is going to take it." He mumbled. 

"I told them it would probably be best to tell her, before she puts the pieces together and that they need to sit down and talk about what happened between them. They shouldn't bring a baby into whatever is going on between them." I admitted. Jay nodded. 

"Marcy is here?" He asked. I nodded. 

"Apparently, she called Tate freaking out. He had her fly here, then she took a test. She's still freaking out." I explained. "Everybody around me seems to be getting pregnant. Makeena, my mom, Kate, now Marcy. And everybody keeps asking me if I am." I told him. Jay pushed a strand of hair behind my ear. 

"But you have something none of them have if it did happen." He whispered. I gave him a look. 

"What?" I asked. 

"A boyfriend that is totally in love with you. Day and Kate barely know each other. Marcy and Tate dated, broke up, and haven't talked much since. Makenna only talks to John when it's about the baby. No relationship there. No relationship with any of them." Jay replied. I thought about it. He was right. "But Tate and Marcy broke up almost a year ago." He added. I just lightly shrugged a shoulder.
