Big Time Hangout

Part 19

I had so many questions running through my head, and I knew once I told him I was not going to get a chance to ask them. "Can we just talk about other stuff right now?" I asked.

James could see the hesitation in my eyes and ran over to me. Before I could stop him he put his arms around me. There was no turning back now. He pulled me away and looked in my eyes, "Tell me it's not true."

I started to cry, and Carlos came over pushing James out of the way to comfort me. Before he hugged me he asked, "What isn't true?" and I just looked at him.

He realized he wasn't going to get an answer, so his first instinct of course was to hold me. He wrapped his arms around me, and it seemed to take him a minute before he pulled away and looked down at the blanket and then at me, "Are you serious?" and he joined James on the other side of the room.

Logan was laughing, "What the hell are you two talking about? Why am I always the last to know something?" he joked.

I looked to Carlos who had his back to me and was bent over trying not to hyperventilate and James who was looking at me but for the first time I couldn't read his thoughts. I whispered to James, "Help me." and in an instant he was back at my side.

He knelt in front of me, "What can I do? What do you need me to do?"

Logan was starting to get very irritated, "You didn't even know he was coming. What the hell is going on here? You wanted to talk to me. I put my relationship on the line to come out here and talk to you because you said you needed to talk to me and now all your doing is talking to these two?"

I took my hand out from under the blanket careful not to let it fall and reached for James. He took my hand and helped me up.

The entire time Logan was on a rant focused on me, "I'm happy with my new girlfriend and I put all of that in jeopardy because of you. I hope your happy with yourself. All you had to do was call them and they would have come running. Why did you had to drag me into all of this mess? I don't know what I ever..."

As I stood up the blanket hit the floor stopping Logan dead in his tracks. There in full display was me with a pregnant belly. James had his hand on the small of my back trying to help support me and his and Logan's mouths were on the floor.

I looked to Carlos who still had his back to me, and he slowly started to stand up and turn around. Almost instantly his jaw was on the ground as well.

I stood there not sure what to say or do and finally Logan spoke up, "What the...How...When..Is it..."

James stopped him, "Of course it is you idiot. Why in the hell do you think she wanted to talk to you? To tell you she was having someone else's baby. Get real."

He pulled me to him to show me he supported me, "I'm here. When and if you need me I'm here. I will get you through this even if this idiot can't."

Logan got angry, "Idiot? I just got the shock of my life and I'M the idiot?"

Logan finally found his strength and walked over sitting on the couch pulling me next to him. James gave him a look and Logan quite plainly said, "Look this is my child and she and I have a lot to discuss so do you mind?"

I had never really seen Logan stand up to James on solid ground and I had to giggle thinking back to that night on the pier.

I felt James' hand on my shoulder, "You can give it up bro. I'm not going anywhere."

I felt a hand on my other shoulder and heard Carlos say to Logan, "You are stuck with us now."

Logan took a move right out of my playbook and rolled his eyes. I can't help but laugh and he went on the attack, "You seriously think this is funny?"
