Chapter 25: Jayce.....?

Jayce
I knocked on the large wooden door of my mother's house very slowly. The door creaked open and revealed a woman I haven't seen since I was six, at least in person. She looked extremely tired, "Jayce....?" Her voice cracked as she said my name.
"Hey mom," I grinned.
Tears filled her eyes, "Jayce. Why are you here?"
"Well I wanted to see you, mom," I raised an eyebrow; did she not want to see me?
"Baby..... I've missed you."
"I've missed you too mom. Why are you crying?" It kills me to see her cry. She's my mom for Christ's sakes and the only parent I have.
"Who's at the door Caroline?" A male voice asked from I assume the living room.
Who is that?! I looked back towards Jack who just shrugged.
"Mom, who is that?" I asked with a icy tone.
She pursed her lips, "Jay...."
"No mom. Who the hell is that?!" I snapped.
She looked taken aback by my tone, "Come in and I'll introduce you."
I gave a slight nod, following her inside the house. It was an ordinary home with pictures hanging from the walls. The walls were baby blue with pristine white trim wrapping around the room. There was a large white couch that had pillows that were different shades of blue. Sitting in the middle of the room was a tall man with blue eyes and a small stubble on his chin.
"Who might you be?" He asked through gritted teeth, "and who the hell are you?" He snapped at Jack.
"Jack, Jack Kingston and this is Jayce, your wife's kid."
His eyes narrowed at me as anger took over his features, "why is your child in my house Caroline?"
Jack immediately stepped in front of me to protect me from the blows I was sure we're gonna happen.
"I'd watch your next move," he warned the stranger.
He chuckled, "I'm not gonna hit him, he's family. I would like to know who he is though."
"I'm Jayce Hamilton, who I assume is your wife is my mom."
He nodded and held out his hand which I shook, "I'm Richard, Richard Wilde. And yes, she is my wife. I'm sorry about my behavior, I thought you were intruders."
I laughed, "No, I'm most definitely not."
His features immediately relaxed as my laughter filled my room.
"You seem very trustworthy son so you want to meet your step siblings?"
I nodded, "of course."
He grinned, "alright. Nathan! Liam! Natalie!"
"Coming dad!!" I heard three voices yell.
A minute later, three people bounded down the stairs.
"Jayce, I would like you to meet my kids; Nathan is my oldest at the age of twenty, Liam is next at eighteen, and Natalie is my youngest at the age of 16."
Nathan had dark brown hair that ended right above his eyes, they were a sapphire color. He was a little taller than me, he was incredibly tan and looked like he could snap me in half.
Liam's hair was dirty blonde and he had eyes the color of carmel. He was my height and didn't look near as fit as his older brother.
Natalie was average height for a sixteen year old, her hair was straight and blonde. Her eyes were an ocean blue. She was pretty beautiful, but I was taken and she was technically my sister so.... not gonna happen.
"So you're my step brother, huh?" Nathan questioned with a slight smile.
I nodded, "yep. My name is Jayce, nice to meet you."
"The pleasure is mine," he chuckled.
"Hi I'm Liam," his brother grinned.
"Jayce, as I've just told your brother."
Then the strangest thing happened.... he giggled!
"Did you just giggle?" I inquired with a look.
He laughed, "dude, I'm not straight."
"Oh, okay." Trust me I didn't care, but seriously why giggle?
"Well we should go Jayce," Jack pressed.
"Okay. Bye Nathan. Liam. Natalie." I waved as Jack said bye to Richard, they got along pretty well.

"Hey Emma, what are you doing here?" I asked my girlfriend when Jack and I walked in his house.
She sighed and gave me a half smile, "I have something to tell you Jay."
My heart was racing; did someone die? Was she breaking up with me? What did she need to tell me?!
"Okay..... what is it?"
"I'll leave you two alone," Jack replied.
I took a seat on the couch next to her, "what is it?"
"I'm pregnant Jay-"
"What? That can't be true, we never did it...."
She sighed, "Jay, it's not yours."
My heart sank, "then who's is it?"
"You're gonna know him and then you'll hate me," she choked out, her voice breaking.
"Who's is it Emma? I could never hate you. I love you."
A tear slid down her cheek, "you know your friend Chase?"
My eyes widened, "Chase Anderson?!"
She started full on sobbing, "I'm sorry baby, I never meant to."
"Did he-"
"No. He didn't rape me. I gave him my consent."
I put my face in my hands, "how far along are you baby?"
"Three months, I tried to hide it because I thought you'd get mad. Now I'm starting to show..."
I stared at her brown eyes, "does Chase know?"
She bit her lip while nodding, "I told him last week when I found out."
It felt like I was stabbed in the heart at the fact that Chase found out a week before I did.
He is the father.
But I'm her boyfriend, I shot back to my inner voice.
"What are you planning on name it?" I asked, looking up from my hands.
"Ethan or Emelia," she gave me a smile.
I sighed, "I don't know how I feel about this, baby..... If we have kids in the future, that one won't be mine."
"Jay-"
"I need to think about this for a minute Em, okay?"
She nodded sadly; leaving the living room and heading to the kitchen.
What am I supposed to do?
******
Plot twist! Do you like Jayce's step siblings? What about Richard? How do you feel about Chase right now, can we hold this against him? I mean we could..... but would that help anything? You're probably wondering why someone else is having a baby, I guess that's just what I thought up and I don't regret it.
