What could go wrong?

Chapter 12

*Josie*

I was panicking. Fletcher was coming over to meet my family. It was decided two weeks ago. Fletcher had quit and moved closer to the all boys academy. He moved into a two bedroom apartment. He claims its for the baby when we visit but I know he wants us to move in. Us being me and the baby. To make matters worst I was on my twelve week. Meaning, my clothes are a little tight. By a little I mean a lot. Mom is putting me on a diet which I need to break at times. Hey! I'm eating for two.

"Josie! A knock came from the door!"

I fixed my hair. I was wearing a aqua blue, green and white dress with orange red piped trim with a red cardigan. I put a white headband in my hair. Slipping on my flats, I ran downstairs. I opened the door to reveal Fletcher. He was wearing a light blue long sleeve shirt. His hands were in his jean pockets. Fletcher grinned at me. I hugged him. Fletcher kissed me. A cough broke us apart.

"Mr. Richardson?"

I paled. Fletcher gripped my hand.

"Good evening Matthew," Fletcher spoke. "It's Fletcher."

Matt frowned. "Your Josie's boyfriend?"

"Yes. I am."

Matt grinned. "Wow man. How do you get girls that young?"

"I'm twenty," Fletcher laughed. "Not that old."

Matt gave a nervous laugh and walked to the kitchen. Lance raced to the doorway. He grinned at Fletcher.

"Hey," Lance greeted. "Name's Lance."

A pretty blond appeared behind him. "And this is my girlfriend, Sarah."

"Nice to meet you," Sarah replied, shaking Fletcher's hand.

"Hello. I'm Fletcher."

I snuggled closer to Fletcher. I heard a woman gasp. I looked up to see Clara. She smiled at me. She winked at Fletcher. Fletcher gave me a puzzled look.

"You must be Fletcher," Clara said. "I'm Clara. And this is my daughter, Becca."

Becca smiled. "Hi!"

Fletcher chuckled. "Hello there."

Andrew walked in and took Fletcher's hand. "Nice to finally meet you."

"Same here," Fletcher answered. "You must be Andrew."

Andrew smiled. "That I am. I see you meet my family."

I beamed at Andrew. He had forgiven Clara. Then they made a pact to tell the truth but Clara made a point she new a secret about one of his family members and she couldn't tell. Andrew let it slip if he was allowed to move in with her. Becca had never been so happy. Clara was so happy to that she proposed to Andrew later that week. But Andrew gave her a ring. Fletcher squeezed my waist. I blinked.

We made our way to the dining room. Mom and Dad greeted Fletcher and we sat down to eat. Clara tried to make conversation but Mom ignored her. Andrew glared at Mom. The phone rang. Andrew went to get it. He started to talk then went white. Everyone looked up at him.

"Who was that sweetie," Mom asked.

"Dr.Wellington. Clara's baby doctor."

Fletcher inhaled quickly. Clara gasped. I looked down.

"Why would she call here?"

Andrew looked at me. "Josie's appointment is on Thursday."

Clara jumped up. "Damn-mitt Andrew! Shut-up!"

Andrew, Lance, and Matt looked at Fletcher. Fletcher wiggled nervously. Clara picked up Becca and moved back. Sarah stood and slipped next to Clara. I moved and yanked Fletcher with me.

"Andy, breath. Lane, calm down. Matty, please," I begged.

Lance rose slowly. Andrew balled his hands up. Matt looked like he was going to throw-up.

"You got my baby sister pregnant," Lance growled. My baby sister."

Matt slammed his fist on the table. "You got her pregnant?! Was this after or before you quit."

"Quit what," Lance asked.

"Being my English teacher," Matt spat.

Andrew glared and hissed, "What kind of sick bastard are you?"

Fletcher narrowed his eyes. He pulled me behind him. Not the best move by Fletcher. Lance, Andrew, and Matt stepped forward. Fletcher stepped back.

"What are you going to do?" Fletcher snapped. "Hurt her? You can't separate us. Remember that baby is mine."

Mom gasped. She started to cry. Clara rolled her eyes. Sarah just watched. Dad looked at me.

Andrew gave a low growl. "Let her go."

Fletcher flashed a smile. "No. You wanna know why? I love her."

Lance hissed. "Do ya? Josie do you love him?"

"Yes," I whispered. "I love him."

Lance snapped, "You bastard."

He leapt over the table. Sarah screamed. Clara called out. Then a fist went flying. I watched in horror was Lance fell on Becca. Becca started to scream. Clara scooped her up and raced to the bathroom. Andrew followed. Mom walked over to Lance. Sarah helped him up.

"You punched me," Lance said in awe.

Fletcher shook his hand. He turned to me.

"I.....Sorry."

Matt tipped Fletcher on the shoulder. Fletcher turned. I shrieked as Fletcher landed on the ground. Matt looked surprised. I knelt to Fletcher.

"Fletcher? Baby?"

Fletcher held his nose. I took off my cardigan and placed it under his nose. Fletcher took it from me. Dad stood in front of him.

"Get out of my house."

"Daddy," I started.

"You too," he interrupted. His face held pain. "Get out of my house. Get out of my house now. I'll give you four hours to pack."

With that, everyone left. Fletcher looked up at me. Clara, Sarah, and I packed up my room. We packed up Fletcher's car. Fletcher drove us to his apartment. We unpacked my stuff. It fitted everywhere. Fletcher looked at me. I crumbled to the ground. In the middle of Fletcher's bedroom, abandoned, alone besides Fletcher and the baby. I cried out and snuggled in Fletcher's arms. Fletcher kissed my head.

"It will be fine, Josie," Fletcher mumbled. "Yo te protegeré, mi tesoro."

That's when I sobbed into his chest.
