An update yay! Thanks guys for all the feedback and stuff. I'm glad you're enjoying this as much as I am writing it, but like I said in the spoilers this is where the drama kicks in. Hardcore too. More toward the end of the chapter though. Can't guarantee when the next update will be. I'm gonna finish up my update for ATSC. I'm sure I'll squeeze in time for this story too though, but I won't keep you guys waiting too long, promise. Okay, without anymore rambling, here's part two. Enjoy!


Part Two
When You Love

7 weeks later…

The beeping to Jude's alarm slowly entered her brain as her hand hit the nightstand and felt around for her phone; by memory hitting the correct button for snooze. Another ten minutes was all she needed and that's what she was going to do as she rolled back over and into Tommy's arms.

"Did you hit snooze?" Tommy mumbled as his arms instinctively wrapped back around her and his chin lifted so her head rested beneath it.

"Uh huh." She replied, drifting back into sleep, hearing Tommy's breathing become steady again as he too drifted back to his slumber.

And just as quick as it came, their snooze time was gone and Jude's cell rang again. Groaning into his chest, she turned her face away, and felt Tommy stretch beside her. Opening his eyes, he looked down, seeing Jude dig her face into the mattress as if hiding from the alarm and softly smiled. "I guess that means you want another snooze?" he asked while reaching over her and hitting the alarm off.

She shook her head, while rolling over onto her back and stretching herself. "We can't. We barely make it on time with one snooze. Two would kill us."

Tommy sat up. "I don't get it. You're going on nineteen years old in like two months. Does your dad expect you to be a virgin forever?" Rubbing his eyes of the sleep, he reached on the floor for his shirt and threw it over his head.

"I don't think—" yawning, she covered her mouth. "—I don't think he would care that much, expect it's you."

Tommy chuckled while standing up and stretching even more. "Figures."

Knowing she too had to get out of bed, Jude pulled back the covers and got out of bed. "Personally, I'm not upset with it at all." She said while walking over to the other side of the bed, smiling at Tommy.

"You sure?" he asked as she walked into him, wrapping her arms around his middle and standing on her tip toes to kiss him good morning.

Smiling as she pulled away she assured him, "Positive."

"Good," he replied, kissing her again. His hands slowly moved down from the small of her back to her butt as he asked, "Do you think your dad would approve of this?"

Laughing, she pulled away and hit his chest. "No." she told him through her laughs, feeling Tommy's hands still behind her.

"What about this?" he asked, grabbing her ass and making her squeal.

"Tommy!"

Laughing, he released his hold and quickly kissed her. "Okay, okay. C'mon. It's almost five thirty."

Jude nodded. "The last thing I need is my Dad seeing you dropping me off this early in the morning." Looking around the room, she grabbed her clothes and was ready to change but decided against it. "Ya know, I'm too tired to change, go home and then change again. I'm just goin' home like this."

Tommy looked over to her as he slid his jeans over his boxers, "In my shirt and boxers?" he asked curiously.

Walking over to his closest, "Actually," she began, while pulling out a shirt. "your shirt, boxers and sweater. Just a little bit chilly outside for a t-shirt right now."

He chuckled. "What about your legs?"

Jude shrugged. "I'll run fast?"

Continuing to laugh, he pulled her into his arms and kissed the top of her forehead. "You, girl, make me love you more each second of the day."

Tommy's Hummer pulled into the driveway at about five minutes till six o clock and he didn't hesitate to put it in park and keep up with another morning ritual of theirs. Unbuckling his seat belt he looked over to Jude and teasingly wiggled his eye brows. She couldn't help but laugh at his actions. "How can you possibly have a sense of humor this early in the morning?"

"I like to call it 'wanting to show off my amazing kissing skills' before you have to hurry in." he replied and all Jude could do was giggle some more before undoing her own seatbelt and scooting closer almost into Tommy's lap.

"See, saying goodbye isn't always so horrible." He joked before Jude pressed her lips to his.

Pulling away, she mumbled against his lips, "Keep the jokes quiet or maybe I'll only give you one kiss goodbye."

"I'll take that as my cue to shut up." He said before feeling Jude kiss him yet again and it wasn't long before Jude and Tommy left reality and drifted into their own world.

It didn't take much longer before their little goodbye kiss turned into a heated make out and it wasn't long after that that Tommy had Jude completely on his lap, turning their behavior a little past PG. His mouth moved to the corner of hers as his lips started a small trail of kisses along her jawbone and to the sensitive spot beside her ear. Falling deeper into their moment, Jude was at so much complete peace that when Tommy nipped at her earlobe, she jumped, her butt coming into contact with Tommy's steering wheel and honking the horn.

"Shoot!" she exclaimed turning away and squeezing between Tommy and the door. Tommy held back a laugh but what really sobered him was when he noticed the time.

"Jude." He said, his eyes still on the clock, "Girl it's ten after."

Her eyes doubled in shock, "Oh my God." Quickly, she leaned over Tommy and grabbed her stuff. Leaning back up she gave him a quick kiss and opened his door. "I'll call you later." She said while slipping out of the car.

Tommy grabbed her hand and spun her back to him, bringing her lips right near his and giving her one last kiss. "Ten thirty." He reminded her before she nodded and hurried into the house.

Successfully she got in and threw her back pack of her clothes by the door, thanking God that the house was quiet and no one was awake. So she heard at least. Walking upstairs, she checked the time on her phone and read 6:14, giving herself one minute before her father's alarm went off. Tip toeing up the stairs, she came around the corner stepping onto the second story landing and seeing her bedroom door in visible sight, but just as she was about to step inside her presence was noticed.

"Jude?" she heard her father's voice from behind her.

Turning around, she saw her dad leaving the bathroom and giving her a curious look. Looking away from him she noticed she was still in Tommy's clothes and pulled the sweatshirt around her a little tighter.

"You don't have to be in studio do you?" he asked. "You're never up this early."

Jude brought her gaze up to her Dad and thanked God again, seeing as he didn't suspect her of just getting home. Good thing she didn't change into regular clothes. "Uh, no. I just went down to get a glass of water. I'm going back to bed right now."

Stuart nodded. "Well I'll let you get your sleep then." He replied and Jude nodded him a thanks before disappearing into her room. It was too close of a call. Almost a week ago, her father had caught her up at the same time too, but she'd actually been home for close to an hour instead of just walking in. The glass of water routine wasn't going to keep working.

Sighing, she dropped to her bed and let her gaze go to the ceiling. She didn't even feel tired anymore, and what was only a half hour seemed like forever when she heard her Dad's car start outside and leave for work. Turning over to her clock she saw it was barely seven and groaned, hating that 10:30 seemed so far away and she wasn't a bit tired. Sitting up, she reached for her notebook on her nightstand, but didn't get too far. Quickly feeling light headed she stopped her actions but still felt sick.

"Ah man," she sighed before feeling her stomach go haywire. Covering her mouth with her hand she slowly got up and made a steady fast pace to the bathroom, kicking the door shut, but not all the way as she dropped to her knees and threw up into the toilet.

Sadie who'd just woken up to get ready to be in studio by eight was lucky enough to see Jude pass by. Sighing herself, she quickened her pace and followed in after Jude, knowing exactly what was going on. Still throwing up when her sister entered, Jude felt someone pull her hair back and sit beside her as she finished emptying her guts.

"Jude, you need to see a doctor." Sadie told her, as Jude flushed the toilet and collapsed against the bathtub exhausted. Shaking her head, Jude hoisted herself up and walked over to the sink to wash out her mouth. "I'm getting scared."

Spitting the water out of her mouth, Jude looked at her like she was crazy. "Are you kidding me? You're scared?"

"I'm sorry." She quickly said, regretting her words. "That wasn't what you wanted to hear."

Again, Jude rinsed out her mouth and only gave Sadie a dirty look before wiping her mouth clean with a towel and heading back into her room.

"Have you at least talked to Tommy about it?" Sadie asked, following Jude into her room.

"No." Jude answered while collapsing on her bed and Sadie instantly noticed the fight to hold back tears Jude was going through. "It's just in my head." Feeling sympathy for her sister, Sadie went and laid beside her, letting Jude know she was there for her. Finally breaking, Jude choked out, "Dad would…" but she couldn't finish her sentence. "And Mom…"

"Jude it's okay."

But Jude quickly cut her off. "No Sadie, it's not." She told her, sitting up and holding her head in her hands. "I'm throwing up five out of seven mornings of the week for the past two weeks, it's not okay."

"Mom and Dad—"

"Forget Mom." Jude quickly threw out. "Dad… God… It'd break his heart."

Cutting in, "Jude," Sadie started, but was quickly cut off.

"He never wanted to trust Tommy and I know he'll blame him." Sighing, she ran her fingers through her hair. "The most amazing experience of my life is gonna ruin my life." For a few moments she was quiet, before quietly confessing, "I'm scared, Sadie."

Knowing she had to be strong for her little sister, Sadie set her hand on Jude's shoulder and told her, "Don't be scared, Jude. I'm here. We'll tell Dad together." Watching Jude nod her head and lock her teary gaze to the floor she quietly added, "And Mom t—"

"Forget. Mom." She repeated, sterner and with more meaning. "I know she'll have a fit. She already tries to keep me away from Tommy now as much as possible. If I said I was…" but she couldn't bring the words to her mouth. "God," she sighed, with a sob, feeling Sadie instantly pull her into her. "Why does this have to be so hard?"

"I don't know Jude." Her sister replied. "I'm sorry."

"Tommy," she began, "he was so… great, and caring and… God, it was like… the way he held me, and the way he touched me made me feel like we were the only two people in the world. Kinda wish we were now..." Pausing a moment, she sat up, and out of Sadie's hold. "He never pushed me into anything, and continued to make sure I was okay. He… How he said he loved me…" her tears rushed back, "Sadie I don't want all that to disappear."

Pulling her into her arms again, "Oh, Jude. It's okay. It's gonna be okay. Lets…" but she had to pause, because she was about to mention for the first time exactly what the girls were scared for. "Jude, lets get a test to make sure. We might be worrying for nothing. I'll call in two hours late and we'll go take it at Mom's where no one's there."

She looked to her confused, "No one's here either."

Sadie nodded, "But with our luck? Dad would walk in with you walking out test in hand."

Jude threw her head back nodding in agreement. It would be her luck, and she honestly didn't want to hurt her Dad with this. "To Mom's then?"

"I'll get dressed." She told her and Jude only nodded as Sadie stood up and left Jude to change herself.

Sighing again, Jude reached into Tommy's sweatshirt pocket for her cell phone, tempted to call him, needing him to be with her, but like Sadie had said, they might be worrying for nothing. Putting her phone back in the pocket, she declined the idea and got off her bed, to get dressed and hopefully get rid of this bad dream haunting her every morning.

She didn't remember most of the morning. Leaving the house with Sadie. Driving to CVS. Sadie getting back in the car with a single bag and Jude's enemy inside. She didn't remember the drive to her Mom's or even the walk up the stairs to the apartment. Now standing inside the clearly empty apartment, she felt the fear creep up on her.

"Sadie what if—"

"Jude." She said firmly. "I'm here for you, Tommy will be here for you, and Dad will too."

"Dad—"

"Will come around. You're his daughter." She didn't have anything else to say. Like there was much more to say. Nodding to the bag Sadie held in her hand she held out her hand and Sadie handed the test over. "It'll be okay, Jude."

"I know." She replied, walking down the hall and into the bathroom.

Outside in the hallway, Sadie felt it as the longest ten minutes of her life. Jude stayed in the bathroom the entire time, why—Sadie didn't know. But those ten minutes put everything into perspective. Jude was barely going to be nineteen and have a baby? It wasn't right. The press was going to tear her down. Their mom would have a fit and like Jude had pointed out, it was going to break Stuart Harrison's heart.

But then Sadie would think of the one positive thing Jude had to take all the hurt away. Tommy loved her. And she loved him. Sure at first everyone else would be against them, but she knew she herself wasn't going to let her go through this alone, and Tommy wasn't going to leave her cold and dry.

The bathroom door creaked open, bringing Sadie back from her thoughts. Quickly, she stood up and met Jude at the bathroom door where she was frozen in place. "Jude…?" However, Jude didn't have to answer, because the test was in plain visible view sitting on the sink. Never before had she seen a brighter blue, and Sadie felt the fear stab her in the chest for her little sister. "Jude…" she said again, this time sympathetically.

"There goes my life…" she quietly mumbled out. "God," choking out a sob, Jude felt Sadie quickly embrace her, and Jude didn't hesitate to hold onto her tightly. "I can't—"

"Shh… Jude, don't think about it right now. Lets… Lets just get out of here."

Jude nodded her head while releasing her hold on Sadie and turning back into the bathroom and grabbing Tommy's sweatshirt. The pregnancy test caught her eye and with disgust, Jude pushed it off the sink and into the trash can, hating that the little piece of plastic just might have killed her relationship with her Mom, Dad and worst of, the relationship she was fearing most… With Tommy.

The two didn't waste anytime leaving, wanting to run away from the memory that was held there now and all Jude really wanted to do was crawl under Tommy's covers and pretend none of this was happening.

On the drive, Jude had called Tommy, telling him she had got into a fight with her Dad and wasn't in the mood to go into studio and asked if he would mind if she stayed at his place while he was at work. He wanted to stay with her, not really seeing the point in going into studio without her, but really, Jude needed the time to herself to think about what she was going to say to everyone—especially him. Eventually, Tommy caved and Jude had Sadie drop her off at his apartment.

Stopping the car, Sadie took Jude's arm to stop her before she got out of the car. "Jude."

"Hmm?" she asked, turning to her sister, her hand still on the handle.

Sadie paused, the sympathy for her sister creeping up on her. "If you need me—"

"I know." Jude said, cutting her off. "Thank you Sadie."

Reaching over, Sadie enveloped Jude in a hug, fighting back tears. "I'll take care of Darius today. You'll be fine."

She nodded her head into her sisters shoulder. "I'm gonna tell Tommy when he gets home from work."

Pulling away, Sadie nodded as well. "I'm here for you Jude." Nodding again, no more words were shared as Jude stepped out of the car and walked up to Tommy's apartment. Quietly to herself, Sadie repeated, "I'm here for you."

It was all supposed to work out just right. Taking the time till four to think about the things she'd say to Tommy and her Dad, even her Mom was supposed to occupy her day. Tommy would come home, she'd break the news, and together they'd figure out what they as a couple wanted to do. She knew for sure she needed him. However, Jude carelessness actions earlier slightly put her problem a little more public than she had wanted.

Coming home for her lunch break, like any other day, Victoria headed to the bathroom, but before doing her business, a small piece of plastic sticking up from her wastebasket caught her eye. Curious, and hoping she wasn't seeing what she was seeing, she reached for the test and horror struck her, however her features remained calm. "God," she sighed, before walking to the door and calling out, "Don, can you come here?" With those five simple words, ruining Jude's plan.
