Well, hello! I was going to bury this, but I got several reviews asking me to continue, so I figured, why not? As long as someone enjoys it, I'll continue!
So this chapter does have an S-bomb in it, so I feel I should just share: I do not swear very often in my fics, and in 18 chapters collectively between my three stories, I have only used the f-bomb once. This will be my first s-bomb. I apologize if I offend anyone, it just happened to fit the story, since it is pretty dark.
Well, I hope you like it! Things are speeding up

One Month Later
"We need to tell people, Jadey."
"Don't make me, 'Rina!"
"Jadey, people are going to find out! Look at what you're wearing!"
Jade looked down at her baggy gray t shirt and sweatpants self-consciously. "What?" she said with a little sigh. "What's wrong with it?" Cat adjusted her sparkly headband with a little shake of her head.
"Jadey, you never dress like this normally. I mean, when was the last time you put your hair in a ponytail like this?" Jade opened her mouth to respond, then closed it when she realized she couldn't answer.
Cat smirked a little. "Exactly. You can't keep hiding it, Jadey." They stopped walking, and Cat lowered her voice. "You're four months along, Jadey. You have a little belly. You can't keep hiding it! Beck deserves to know."
"Like you're so open, you hypocrite," Jade spat angrily. "Danny doesn't know about you being pregnant." Cat sighed and looked down at her skirt. "That's a different situation, and you know it," she mumbled.
The taller girl sighed. "I know, and I'm sorry, 'Rina." Cat rushed forward and hugged Jade tightly. "It's okay, Jade. Now come on, let's get to Sikowitz's class."
Jade nodded and the two girls walked away.
•••••
Beck sent Jade another text, wondering where they were. It wasn't like Jade to be late.
Well, it was, but it wasn't like Cat to be late with her.
"They sure have been spending a lot of time together," Tori commented. "They are best friends," Beck pointed out. "Yeah-freaky and freakier," Rex said with a chuckle. Robbie clapped his hand over the puppet's mouth. Beck rolled his eyes and turned his attention to Sikowitz as he rolled in the window.
He sat up quickly, threw a rubber ball at one of the kids, and cartwheeled onto the stage. "Hello, learners!" he said with a grin. "Are we ready for-"
Suddenly he stopped short. "Wait. We're short two auras in this room," he said, waving his arms around. "Dark and light. Where are Cat and Jade?" he asked.
"Right here," Jade called as she and Cat walked in. Everyone gasped at what they saw.
Jade's hair was pulled back in a ponytail for the first time in two years. She was wearing workout clothes and sneakers. Cat's headband was black sequined, and her blouse and skirt were shades of gray-something unheard of.
"What happened to you guys?" Tori asked in disbelief. "Shut up, Vega!" Jade snapped as she sat next to Beck.
Beck tried to put his arm around her, but she shrugged it off quickly. Beck sighed. Cat flashed Jade a look as the class started.
Halfway through class, her phone buzzed.
From: 'Rina

Jade sighed and began typing back.

To: 'Rina

From: 'Rina
Thank u.
"Cat! Jade!" Both girls looked up with a start. Sikowitz was staring at them expectantly. "Um...could you repeat the assignment?" Cat asked sheepishly.
Sikowitz raised his eyebrows. "You two are doing a partner alphabet improv. Go!" he said, pointing to the stage. Jade looked at Cat and they walked onstage quickly. "Letter?" Jade asked, rolling her eyes. "Um..class, give them a letter!"
"X!"
"P!"
"A!"
"W! W!"
"Okay, I heard w. Cat, go!" Sikowitz said. Cat turned to Jade with a smile.
"When are we going to tell them?"
"Xylophones are my favorite instrument."
"You're trying to change the subject."
"Zebras are fascinating, don't you think?"
"Around lunchtime would be good."
"But why ruin everyone's lunch?"
"Can't you see that they deserve to know?"
"Don't make me, please."
"Even though it hurts now, it'll get better."
"Forget it."
"God, Jade, you need to face this thing."
"Hopefully not!"
"I really think it's better to tell them."
"Just don't let me run away in the opposite direction."
"Kay kay!"
"Let's talk about you now."
"Maybe we shouldn't."
"No, you can't avoid your problems either!"
"Oh, all right. What?"
"Please tell me about your father-I want to help."
The whole room was silent. Sikowitz had even stopped sipping his coconut. Tori and Beck shared a worried look.
"Quiet, Jade, I'm fine."
"Really? Because that's not what it looks like."
"Stop," Cat whispered. Her eyes were shut tightly, and tears were spilling out of her eyes. Tori motioned to Beck worriedly. He shrugged.
Jade reached forward and put her arm around her.
"Tell me, 'Rina. Things will get better."
"Unless they don't," Cat mumbled.
"Very untrue. They will get better," Jade said, hugging Cat tightly. Although the two girls were pressed together, everyone heard Cat's last sentence.
"When?"
Sikowitz stood and applauded loudly. "Brilliant!" he said happily. "Just fantastic! Candy for both of you!" Cat popped up with a huge grin. "Candy!" she cried happily. People laughed and the tension in the room dissolved.
But Beck and Tori knew something was up.
••••••
"When do you think they'll get here?" Tori asked, poking at her burrito listlessly. Beck pushed his salad away.
"I know, I'm nervous too," Robbie said. Andre just sat, hitting the same key on his piano over and over. "If someone's hurting Cat-" Tori broke off.
"They're here."
As they walked up, Cat waved happily. Jade didn't bother sitting down. "Come with us to the black box. We need to tell you guys something," she said dryly. Cat squeaked and began running off to the black box.
Jade rolled her eyes, grabbed Beck's hand, and followed. Tori and Andre looked at each other and followed. Robbie looked rapidly between the disappearing group and his fries. "Oh, I can't leave this food," he said sadly.
"Just bring the food with you, princess!" Rex said. Robbie nodded quickly, gathered up his food container and ran off. "Wait for me!" he called.
•••••
Cat and Jade stood nervously in front of their friends. Beck, Tori, Andre and Robbie sat tensely in chairs.
"So, what's up?" Andre asked.
"This is going to be...a lot to take in. So just bear with us," Jade said. "Don't be mad," Cat begged.
"What's going on?" Beck asked concernedly.
Jade sighed. Cat squeezed her hand. "I'm good," Jade said with a deep breath.
She groaned and lifted her shirt with a flourish. Everyone gasped except for Cat at the small, but clearly noticeable baby bump Jade had.
"You're PREGNANT?" Tori asked. "No! An alien's inhabiting my uterus!" Jade snapped, lowering her shirt. She walked over to Beck with crossed arms. "Obviously, you're the father. I've already decided I'm having the baby, so don't try and change my mind," she said toughly. "I'm keeping it, and I'll do it with or without you. Your choice."
Beck stood quickly and grabbed her arms. "Jade, of course I'm going to be there," he said. "I want to help you. You do whatever you think is right, and I'll support you no matter what." Jade's eyes softened. "Really?" she asked. Beck nodded and kissed her. "We'll be okay," he said, hugging her tightly.
Andre pointed to Cat. "Wait, what does Lil' Red have to do with all of this?" he asked. Cat gave him a small smile.
"Well, because...I'm pregnant."
Several minutes of stunned silence followed Cat's announcement. Tori wad the first one to speak.
"Holy shit."
Beck looked at her in surprise, and Cat clapped her hands over her ears. "Tori!" she squealed. "I thought we all agreed that 'chiz' was an appropriate substitute for that!" Andre said with a frown.
Tori looked embarrassed. "Sorry! It's a lot to take in, and 'chiz' just didn't seem to express…things...right. I mean, this is messed up," she said.
"So, what you're saying is that you and Cat are both pregnant? Both of you?" Beck asked Jade. She rolled her eyes. "Cat, lift up your blouse," she instructed.
"Kay-Kay," Cat said, lifting it up. Everyone reacted when they saw a tiny, barely noticeable swell in Cat's stomach. It was small and easily hid, but it was there. Cat rolled her shirt back down. "Is...who's is it?" Robbie asked.
Jade met Cat's eyes, and the little redhead looked down before answering. "It's Danny's," she said quietly. "Does he know?" Andre asked. Cat shook her head. "You guys are the only ones who know," she said with a little shrug.
Tori got up and hugged Cat tightly. "Oh, my God," she murmured. "Cat, Jade...if you guys need anything, anything at all...tell me, okay? I'll help." Cat nodded and hugged Tori back.
Andre stood. "So basically, we have eight-odd months before our group of six becomes a group of...eight?" he asked.
Cat nodded. "Well, I may give my baby up for adoption..."
Andre rubbed Cat's back. "It's okay, Lil' Red. You've got some time to think about it."
"For now, let's eat!" Jade said. Everyone agreed and went off, Andre putting his arm around Cat. Jade and Beck held hands, and Tori rubbed Jade's arm.
Because after all, there was nothing to bring friends together like a baby.
••••
Cat hummed a tune and danced around her room. Her father wasn't home, her friends weren't mad, and she had a special date with Danny tonight!
She went to her closet and picked out her favorite dress. Tonight was her and Danny's six month anniversary, and she finally felt like she trusted him completely. She felt safe with him. She knew if he told Danny about her father, he would understand. He would help her.
She slid the dress over her head, and was grabbing heels when her phone buzzed. She walked over and checked the message.
From: Jadey-Bear 3 (Baloo!) 3
R u gonna tell him tonight?
She smiled and began typing a response.
To: Jadey-Bear 3 (Baloo!) 3
Think so. Scared :/ don't want him 2 freak out.
From: Jadey-Bear 3 (Baloo!) 3
He will help u with ur dad. What does he do 2 u?
To: Jadey-Bear 3 (Baloo!) 3
U know.
From: Jadey-Bear 3 (Baloo!) 3
How can I if u never tell me?
To: Jadey-Bear 3 (Baloo!) 3
U know. He's been...
From: Jadey-Bear 3 (Baloo!) 3
Raping you.
To: Jadey-Bear 3 (Baloo!) 3
...
From: Jadey-Bear 3 (Baloo!) 3
How long has he been doing this?
To: Jadey-Bear 3 (Baloo!) 3
Since mommy took Frankie away.
From: Jadey-Bear 3 (Baloo!) 3
That's a long time, Kitty.
To: Jadey-Bear 3 (Baloo!) 3
Daddy's just been sad since mommy left. He needs me to do what mommy did so he won't be sad.
From: Jadey-Bear 3 (Baloo!) 3
That's sick.
To: Jadey-Bear 3 (Baloo!) 3
He's just sad.
From: Jadey-Bear 3 (Baloo!) 3
He's a monster.
Suddenly, the door to Cat's room opened with a crash. Cat's father stood framed in the doorway, a bottle clutched in his hand.
"What's that?" he growled. "I-it's just my phone, daddy," Cat squeaked in fear.
"I'm hungry, damn it!" her father roared. He threw the beer bottle at Cat's head. She screamed and ducked, and the bottle crashed against the back wall of her room. "I'll make you dinner before I go out, daddy," she said quickly. Her father cursed.
He walked over and held out his hand. "The phone," he growled. Cat held it back, away from his grasp. He lost his temper and slapped her across the face, hard. She screamed. "Give me the phone, you slut!" he yelled. Cat held it close to her.
Her father pulled her up and held her by her hair. "Give it!" he roared. He raised his fist, ready to hit her in the stomach.
Cat screamed, fearing for her baby's life, and threw the phone as far away from her as possible. Her father dropped her and went for the phone. Cat huddled up in fear as she read her text messages.
His face darkened as he read her text messages. "Who is 'Jadey-Bear?" he asked. "M-my friend," Cat stammered. Her father sighed and sat down next to her. "Cat, we need to have a talk," he said with a frown. Cat nodded, hugging her knees to her chest.
"Cat, this girl is filling your head with bad thoughts," he said. Cat nodded again, staring straight ahead. "You know that I love you. I always have. When your mommy left, I had things I needed to do, but mommy wasn't around to let me do them. So I needed you to help me do those things. But I didn't rape you. I'm not raping you, Cat. I'm just showing you how much I love you, and you're helping me in return. That's how families are supposed to be."
"But daddy, I don't like it when you touch me...down there," Cat mumbled. "It doesn't feel right. Please stop." Her father grabbed her chin and forced her to look at him.
"That just means you're not trying hard enough to please me. Don't you love me?" he asked. Cat nodded. "I want you to understand. This is how daddies are supposed to love their little girls," he said.
Cat nodded again. "Yes, daddy," she whispered. He smiled and kissed her roughly. Cat could hear her phone buzzing in his hand and wished she could tell Jade she was fine, and not to worry about her so much.
She wished.
Her father rolled over on top of her, running his mouth down her body. Silent sobs racked Cat's body as she cried herself into a dreamland, waiting for the moment to come out of her fantasy world.
••••••
Jade texted Cat for the sixth time. Getting no response, she threw her phone against her wall with a scream. It sucked not being able to tell what was going on at Cat's.
She could be eating, or watching a show, or baking cupcakes, or cleaning.
Oh, or her father could be raping her.
Just a typical American family.
Jade groaned and put her pillow over her head. Her mother came in. "Sweetie? You in here?" she asked. "GO AWAY!" Jade screamed from under her pillow. Her mother sat down by her and rubbed her back. "You've been so distant with your father and I lately. What's wrong, honey?" she asked. Jade refused to answer and her mother sighed. "Fine, Jade," she said, moving to the door with Jade's laundry.
"Oh, your Pop-Pop's coming next week," her mother said, standing in the door frame. Jade sat up, pulling the pillow off of her head. "Really?" she asked. Her mother nodded, smiling. "He's staying for a whole month this time," she said. "How is he doing?" Jade asked. Her mother sighed. "Well, the dialysis seems to be working, so thank God for that," she said, walking out.
Jade hugged her pillow to her chest. Few people knew how close she was to her maternal grandfather-her Pop-Pop, as she called him.
Even as a little girl, she'd hated being normal, so she abandoned the traditional "grandpa" for the more fun Papí and Pop-Pop. Her Papí had died when she was seven, along with her Mimi and followed by her Mamí, but her Pop-Pop was still alive and kicking at seventy four.
Jade loved him more than she could express-more than almost anyone she could think of. He always listened to her, no matter what, and he gave the best advice. If there was anyone she could talk to about this whole pregnancy mess, it was her Pop-Pop.
She smiled and went to her desk to write a letter. Her Pop-Pop never could understand the internet. She'd never tell anyone this, but letters suited her just fine too.
Dear Pop-Pop, she wrote.
I heard that you are coming to visit. I can't wait. I have so much to tell you.
•••••
Cat scrubbed her skin until it was red and raw. She didn't care what she looked like, she just wanted to feel clean. Like she deserved to go out with Danny.
Certainly not smelling like her father's aftershave.
She gave her skin one more rub, looked herself over in the mirror and sighed happily. Looking over the remains of her dress, she decided to go with a more casual skirt and blouse. As she dressed, she glanced at the phone to make sure she wasn't late. 4:58. Danny would be by in two minutes.
She threw on a knee length skirt, a tank top, and sandals, grabbed her bag, and sprinted downstairs. "You be back by midnight!" her father yelled after her angrily as she shut the door behind her.
The sun was still high in the sky when Cat went outside. She sat on her front step and stared up at the blue sky. She found herself mesmerized by the thin wisps of cloud moving around in the sky.
A car horn honked. Cat looked and saw Danny get out. "Car service for an angel?" he joked with a grin. Cat squealed happily and jumped into his arms.
She was glad to have a piece of perfect.
•••••
Beck paced in his RV. Jade was pregnant. Cat was pregnant.
He was a father.
He sighed and paced. He knew that he was going to stick by Jade, and his child. He wasn't too worried-he had a steady after school job at a car repair shop, and he knew the owner would give him a raise once he knew the situation.
The one he was really worried about was Cat.
Jade was tough, and Beck had no doubts that she'd be able to handle this. Cat, on the other hand, was so naïve, fragile, innocent...
Well, obviously not THAT innocent, since she was pregnant, but still.
Beck balled his hands into fists. If Danny hurt Cat in any way, he'd go kick his ass.
Cat was like a sister to him-he'd known her since second grade. She'd encouraged him to audition for Hollywood Arts. She'd introduced him to Jade. She'd always been there for him.
Now he was gonna be there for her.
•••••
"So how have you been, beautiful?" Danny asked Cat, holding the car door open for her. She got into his cherry red vintage convertible with a little squeal. "Perfect now that you're here," she said with a happy sigh.
Danny hopped into his seat and started the engine. "Top up or down?" he asked.
"Uh...down!" Cat said. Danny grinned and zoomed off.
Cat squealed as the wind whipped through her hair. Danny laughed as she stuck her arms in the air joyfully, zooming past the huge houses in her neighborhood. "Babe, I love you, but we're gonna get pulled over!" he said with a laugh.
She dropped her arms with a gasp. "One time, my brother got pulled over," she said. "Oh, yeah? Why was that?" Danny asked. "He didn't know you're supposed to wear clothes when you're driving," Cat said simply.
Danny laughed and kissed her cheek. "Where are we going?" Cat asked with a squeal. "It's a surprise," Danny said teasingly. Cat grinned. She couldn't wait to get there. Danny was amazing.
He would save her, she just knew it.
••••
Jade picked at her food. Her mother sighed and set down her fork. "Really, Adam, I don't know why we do this. It just upsets her," she murmured.
Mr. West took another gulp of brandy. "Rebecca, it's good for her to see that we can be cordial and together as a family," he whispered back.
Jade set her spoon down with a clatter. "One, I can hear you. Two, I know we're not a family, so there's no sense in BS-ing it. Three, we'd all much rather go our own ways, dad, so why don't you take that blonde stick and that yappy dog and go give her the world, and leave mom and I here to rot!" she snapped, standing up angrily.
Mr. West set his glass down. "Don't you yell at me, Jadelyn! And don't speak that way about your stepmother-"
"She's NOT my stepmother! She's just your little who-"
"Don't you DARE finish that sentence!" her father roared. "Sit. Down."
Jade growled and sat deliberately. On cue, a dog began barking. Jade's stepmother began speaking to him in a baby voice. "Oh, there, there, baby, momma will be there in a minute," she cooed, feeding him a piece of prime rib from her plate.
Jade's mother stiffened. Jade saw her mother's discomfort and turned to her stepmother. "You know dogs bite people's faces off," she said. All three adults turned to look at her. Jade shrugged. "They do. When you sleep," she said.
Her stepmother gasped, and Jade made a biting motion with her teeth. The woman squealed. Jade smiled, considering her mission accomplished.
"Well, I'll get those out of your way," Jade's mother said primly, whisking plates away. "Jadelyn, get the dessert," she called over her shoulder. Jade rolled her eyes and went into the kitchen.
She saw her mother's crowning achievement: a huge cake with a mountain of whipped cream and cherries. Her mother had way too much time on her hands.
Hefting it in one hand and adjusting her tank top with the other, Jade prepared herself to go back into the fray.
Walking back in, she heard her stepmother's voice in the dining room. "I'm not saying she is, I just wouldn't put it past her, Adam, that's all I'm saying."
Jade got curious and decided to hang back. She hid and listened to the adults talk. Her stepmother continued in that annoying voice of hers. "She's promiscuous. We all knew that. And Adam tells me that she's been dating a guy."
"Well, not to be rude, Krystal, but you're not around Jadelyn nearly as much as I am, and I think I would have seen-" her mother said.
"She threw up three times during dinner today. Three. You don't think that's odd? Not to mention how moody she's been lately, especially around me-"
"Oh, there's an explanation for that. Jadelyn doesn't like you," Jade's mother said simply with a sip of brandy. Jade smirked. Even though she didn't particularly like her, Jade was grateful to her mom for being strong when she needed her to be. Especially around her dad.
Krystal huffed and took Mr. West's hand. "Well, she's going to have to get used to the fact that I'm in the picture long term. And she should start respecting me a little bit!"
"Yes, be that as it may, you have no right to come in and accuse my little girl of being-"
"You know she's been having sex."
"No, I do not know that."
"You can deny it all you want, but when she has a baby in her arms next September, don't say I didn't warn you!"
"Well, then I guess you can best me once again...Krystal."
They sat in silence for a few moments, and Jade debated going back in. Then Krystal decided to open her synthetically fat mouth again.
"Just look at her stomach if you don't believe me. It's round."
Jade's mother sat silently for a moment. Then she called into the kitchen. "Jadelyn! Hurry up in there!"
Jade growled and walked back in. She looked at all the adults, then down at what they were all looking at: her tiny baby bump, outlined by her tank top.
She looked up at Krystal, who looked smug. Then to her father, who looked angry. As usual.
Finally, Jade looked at her mother, whose eyes were full of sadness and hurt.
"Jadelyn..." her mother murmured softly, sounding heartbroken. Jade opened her mouth to say something, but couldn't find words.
So she did the only thing she could.
She walked over to Krystal, holding the cake, and smashed the cake on Krystal's neck, all over her silicone implants.
Krystal gasped. "Oh, my God!" she shrieked, scraping fruit off of her boobs.
"Why would you-"
"Young lady, this is the last-"
"Jade!"
She ignored them all and ran upstairs to her room, slamming the door behind her. As she threw herself onto her bed, sobbing, she prayed Cat was having a better time than her.
•••••
"Danny, are we almost there?"
"Just a few more steps, Cat. Watch your step."
"Can I take off my blindfold?"
"Cat! I want it to be perfect!"
"Okay! Okay!"
"One more step...and...now."
Cat took off her blindfold and gasped happily. She laughed. "Oh, Danny," she sighed. "It's perfect!" Danny kissed her cheek. "I wanted it to be. For you," he said with a huge grin.
He took her hand and led her to the picnic blanket, set up under a tree by a hill. Cat beamed as she saw all of Los Angeles stretched out beneath them. She turned, saw the Hollywood sign, and squealed happily.
"You like it?" Danny asked excitedly. Cat nodded and kissed him passionately. "Thank you," she said with a grin. They sat and Danny brought out two wine glasses and a bottle. "Sparkling grape juice, Ms. Valentine?" he asked.
Bouncing up and down, Cat nodded. "My favorite!" she chirped. Danny poured them each a glass and handed one to her.
"To six months with the most amazing girl I have ever met," he said. "Cheers!" He lifted his glass, Cat lifted hers, and they clinked glasses under the blue sky.
An hour later, they were eating ice cream sandwiches from the picnic basket as the sky turned pink and orange. Cat sat in between Danny's leg, and he had one arm wrapped around her waist.
She took another bite of her ice cream sandwich contentedly. "I didn't know there were still places like this in the world," she said with a sigh. Danny hugged her tightly. "I'm glad you like it," he murmured. She finished it off and licked her fingers happily. "Perfect," she said. Danny smiled and kissed her.
Cat couldn't believe she was this lucky. She couldn't help but notice that he tasted like ice cream and grape juice, and he kissed her so sweetly. Not at all like her father. Danny was different.
And she loved it.
They lay on their backs and watched the sun sink in the sky. Cat lay her head on Danny's stomach. "I love you so much," she said with a smile. Danny kissed her forehead. "I love you too, Cat."
Cat sat up quickly. Danny sat up too. "What's wrong, Cat?" he asked concernedly. "Cat. Tell me! Is seething wrong?"
She looked down and took a deep breath.
"Danny, there's-there's something I need to tell you."
Cliffie! So when you picture Krystal, picture a woman who was once a stripper but is now a cocktail waitress and thinks that gives her the right to talk down to people.
Another note: the part with Cat and her dad was pretty intense, I know. It sickens me that people think that way…but I digress.
Anyways, I just wanted to let those of you who were squirming in your seats know that that is as far as I'm willing to go in terms of detail with the incest storyline. I'll do pre-abuse and after-abuse, but I don't have it in me to describe the actual abuse any deeper than that.
I hope you like the premise of Jade's 'Pop-Pop'. I feel he'll make an appearance in a chapter or so.
Thank you all for reviewing-it makes my day when you all review. Seriously, my whole day looks up.
So you should review! :D
