Tommy pulled up to the oh so familiar house

Tommy pulled up to the oh so familiar house. The house he lived in when he was a kid. How did he get talked into coming here again he thought to himself. Then he looked to the blonde sitting next to him asleep and remembered how excited she was to meet his folks. What wouldn't he do for her?
Tommy: "Jude sweetie we are here. Wake up girl" he pushed her slightly to wake her. "Ugh" she stirred in her seat as she began to wake up. He got out the car and grabbed their bags from the back of the hummer and walked to Jude's side and helped her out since she was still trying to wake up. Hearing the car pull up his two sisters and mom was standing at the door waiting for them to come up to it.

Tommy: "Hi mom" he said hugging and giving her a kiss on the cheek "I want you to meet my fiancé Jude. Jude this is my mother Mrs. Dutois" Jude held out her hand but his mom pulled her into a hug.
Mrs. Dutois: "It's so nice to meet the woman who has finally caught my son's heart and is putting a stop to his player ways" everyone laughed when she said that.
Jude: "Thanks Mrs. Dutois. I am lucky to have him"
Mrs. Dutois: "Please call me Carolyn"

Tommy: "And these are my sisters Jade and Lorena" from what Jude could see Jade was one to not mess with. She kind of reminded her of Patsy by the looks of her. Lorena looked like another Sadie but hopefully they will like me.
Jude: "It's nice to meet you two" she said as Lorena pulled Jude into a hug and Jade just looked on debating whether or not if this girl was right for her brother.
Carolyn: "Well let's get you guys situated and if you guys would like you can rest up before dinner. How does that sound?"

Tommy: "It sounds good" Jude nodded that she liked the idea. Mrs. Dutois led them up to the room they were staying in and left them to be. Tommy put the bags in the closet and then lay on the bed and Jude climbed in right next to him. Within 10 minutes they both drifted into a peaceful sleep. They awoke 2 hours later to his mom knocking on the door telling them that dinner would be ready in an hour. They got up and cleaned themselves up for dinner. Jude decided to break the silence.
Jude: "So Quincy is their anything I need to know before I head downstairs to dinner"
Tommy: "Well let's see. Jade is probably going to ask you a thousand questions just to see if you are right for me but don't worry her husband Kevin wont let her get to crazy and neither will I. Lorena will just pretty much talk your ear of about different things kind of like Sadie"

Jude: "Ok so it doesn't sound too bad" she said a little nervous about being asked questions by Jade.
Tommy: "Yeah. Don't worry I will be with you the whole time" he said giving her a reassuring peck on the lips. They finish getting ready and make their way down the stairs. As soon as she gets down their Jade and Lorena are already walking up to her. She starts to get even more nervous and Tommy could tell so he takes her hand and gives it a reassuring squeeze.
Jade: "So do you really love my brother?" wow direct and to the point Jude thought. She does remind me a lot of Patsy.

Jude: "Yes very much. He is my everything and I would do anything to make sure he is happy. I have loved Tommy since I was 15 and nothing is going to change that nothing" Jade studied Jude to see if what she was saying was true. Normally Jade would question the girls but their was something about Jude that was different than all the other girls that Tommy brought home. She actually liked the girl and knew that she was not going to have to ask her all the questions because she got what she was looking for out of that one question. She knew Jude loved him and she could tell that Tommy loved her by the look in his eyes.

Jade: "Ok well then welcome to the family" she said as she pulled Jude into a hug "I want you to meet my husband Kevin" Kevin shook Jude's hand as Jude let out a sigh of air.
Jude: "It's nice to meet you"
Kevin: "Nice to meet you to and by the look on your face you look relieved"
Jude: "Honestly I am. I thought Jade was about to ask me a whole bunch of questions"

Jade: "Normally I would have but there is something about you that makes me think you are a good thing for my brother. I have never seen him this happen except that one time but that was in the past" Jude looked at Tommy and gave him a look that said "what is she talking about" he simply just resumed talking to his mom. Jude knew she was going to have to get it out of him later. Dinner was ready so they made their way to the table and sat around ate and talked. Once everyone was done they made their way outside to enjoy a nice evening out in the sitting area. Jude looked around at the beautiful and peaceful surrounding. There was a sitting area with two couches, a couple of chairs, some tables, and a nice waterfall. Everyone wanted to know about Jude and Tommy so they started to tell them how they meet after Jude won a competition and how he was her producer but before they could really get into the details a man walked into the backyard. Jude looked at him and could feel Tommy tense up as he saw the man. Jude was wondering what was going on. Before she could ask Tommy he was up in front of the man.

Tommy: "Hunter what the hell are you doing here?" Tommy's face was starting to turn red with anger.
Hunter: "I heard my good friend was in town and besides I was invited"
Tommy: "Invited by whom. Because as far as I am concerned you are not welcomed in this house"
Stranger: "I invited him" Tommy looked at the guy and he became even angrier. Jude looked at the guy who spoke and as soon as she saw him she knew he had to be Tommy's brother. He had the same features as Tommy but he was no Tommy by the way he presented himself.

Tommy: "WHY IN THE HELL WOULD YOU INVITE HIM HERE KNOWING ABOUT OUR PAST HISTORY TOGETHER" Tommy was now yelling while Jude watched on with a confused look a on her face.
Jake: "Well dear brother of mine. I invited him because he is my friend and I could care less what happened between you to in the past" Jude could see that Tommy was about to punch his brother so she walked over to Tommy and grabbed his hand. He calmed down when he felt her hand around his.
Hunter: "Well aren't you going to introduce us or have you forgotten your manners" Hunter said as he looked Jude up and down. Jude moved closer to Tommy feeling uncomfortable by the way he was looking at her.
Tommy: "You don't need to know her. You don't even speak to her better yet don't look at her. AND STAY THE HELL AWAY FROM HER" Tommy grabbed Jude and started to lead her back into the house. His mom and sisters and Kevin got up and followed them which left Hunter and Jake alone.

Hunter: "Well looks like he has a new one"
Jake: "Yeah and she is quite pretty"
Hunter: "Yeah well to bad they won't be together for much longer. So did you talk to the guy?"
Jake: "Yeah he is in. he is just waiting for us to tell him what to do. Are you sure about this?"
Hunter: "Yeah your brother is going to pay for what he did to Angie. So are you still in it?"
Jake: "If I get to see my brother hurt I am in"

Back in the house

Tommy: "The nerve of him to bring Hunter here" he was pacing the room. Jude sat silently trying to get her head around what just happened. "Jude come on we are leaving. I knew this was a bad idea"
Carolyn: "Don't go Thomas. Look he is not going to stay he is not welcomed here. Please stay I want to get to know Jude better and I want to spend time with you since it has been ages since we have seen you"
Tommy: "I know mom but I can't stay" but before he could finish Jude finally spoke for the first time
Jude: "No we are staying. I came to visit your family and that is what I intend to do" Tommy was about to protest and Jude gave him the "don't" look so he left it alone. Jake and Hunter entered the room which caused Tommy to tense up again but before he could speak Mrs. Dutois spoke first.

Carolyn: "I want the both of you out my house NOW" they looked at her and then turned to leave but before they left Hunter looked at Tommy and said "We will be seeing each other again" and had a smirk on his face and then left. Everyone looked at Tommy with a worried expression. Knowing what happened in the past they didn't know exactly what he meant and what that look on his face meant. Jude sat there with a confused and worried look on her face. Tommy knew she didn't understand what was going on but he did not know what to say to her. Everyone sat around in silence for a while so Jude broke the silence.

Jude: "Tommy what was all that about"
Tommy: "Jude please not now. I don't feel like talking about it. I… I…. I just can't. I'm sorry"
Jude: "Tommy please I need to know what is going on"
Tommy: "NOT NOW" he raised his voice which broke everyone from there deep thoughts they were having. Jude looked at Tommy and did not know what to say so she got up and ran to their room and locked the door. Tommy looked at everyone and just put his head down. He didn't mean to yell at her but he just couldn't tell her yet.

Jade: "Can you guys excuse us for a min?" she asked and everyone nodded as they all got up and went to their rooms for the night.
Tommy: "Not now Jade. I don't need a lecture from you"
Jade: "To bad Tom you are going to get one from me anyways. Look I know seeing Hunter here was awful and it made you take a look at your past but yelling and keeping that girl at a distance is not the smart thing to be doing right now. Hunter is bad business and you are going to need the people that love you by your side now more than ever"
Tommy: "I know but…"

Jade: "But nothing Tom. That girl is madly in love with you and you are keeping this from her. She deserves to know especially since Hunter is probably planning something. Tom look I have never liked any of your girlfriends. I liked Angie that's about it. After her I didn't think anyone was going to be good enough for you. But Jude is the real deal and I would hate for you to screw it up because you are too stupid to let her in" as she said that she turned and went to her room. Tommy sat there thinking about what she just said and knew she was right. He had to tell Jude everything.

Tommy knew he was going to have to face her sooner or later. He knew if he wanted until later that he was going to be in bigger trouble that he already was in. He got up and walked to the room they were sharing. He tried to open the door but she locked it.

Tommy: "Jude baby let me in. we need to talk"
Jude: "OH NOW YOU WANT TO TALK. WELL I DON'T" she was upset. He shut her out and now he expects her to talk to him.
Tommy: "Jude baby please calm down so we can talk"
Jude: "NO TOMMY. YOU NEED TO GO AND FIND SOMEWHERE ELSE TO SLEEP BECAUSE YOU ARE NOT WELCOMED IN HERE"
Tommy: "Jude stop acting like a child and let me in" he knew he had overstepped the boundary but his anger got the best of him.
Jude: "STOP ACTING LIKE A CHILD HUH. WELL SINCE I AM A CHILD THEN I GUESS YOU DON'T WANT TO MARRY ME THEN"
Tommy: "Jude I'm" but Jude cut him off.
Jude: "YOU'RE WHAT TOMMY. YOU'RE SORRY. I AM SO TIRED OF YOU SAYING THAT TO ME. WHY DON'T YOU STOP HURTING ME SO YOU WONT HAVE TO SAY YOU'RE SORRY OVER AND OVER AGAIN? SO WHY DON'T YOU JUST LEAVE ME ALONE SO I CAN GET SOME SLEEP" she was crying by this time but she wasn't going to back down and Tommy knew it.

He knew he wasn't going to win this argument so he decided to make his way to go sleep on the couch. He was going to talk to her in the morning when she had time to calm down. The next morning he woke up with back and neck pain. As he was getting up Jude was making her way down the stairs. She refused to look at him in the eyes. He knew she was still angry but he was going to have to tell her soon. He went upstairs to take a shower and get dress. When he came down he saw Jude and Lorena talking. So Jade decided to talk to Tommy.

Jade: "So Tom what is going on?" she said as she noticed that Jude was barely looking at him and saw the sadness in his eyes.
Tommy: "She is mad at me" that was all he could say as he stared at his hands.
Jade: "Well what did you expect? You did close her out last night"
Tommy: "I know but when I went to talk to her she wouldn't listen"
Jade: "Look she will come around. You just can't give up yet. That girl loves you she is just hurting that you would not confide in her"
Tommy: "Yeah your right" he knew he was going to have to make her listen to him even if she doesn't want to. She needs to know about his past for her own protection.

Lorena: "So what's the deal with you and my brother? I heard you guys arguing last night"
Jude: "I don't know. I hate it when he shuts me out of his life. I want him to talk to me"
Lorena: "I know but it is hard for him to do"
Jude: "I understand that but I would also like him to try"
Lorena: "Look maybe you should talk to him about this"
Jude: "Yeah your right. But I don't think I am ready yet"
Lorena: "Jude just talk to him. You guys are perfect together. He loves you and I know he is truly sorry"
Jude: "yeah he is always sorry when he hurts me. I just want him to stop"
Lorena: "what?" she looked at Jude with a confused expression.
Jude: "Its nothing. I am going to get some fresh air.

Tommy noticed Jude leave and decided to follow her. With her alone he knew it would be the perfect time to talk to her. He just had to make sure she listened to him and understands what he tells her. He was scared of his past but now with Hunter around he couldn't take any chances and if he was going to protect Jude she needed to know the truth, she deserved to know the truth.

Jude sat in the sitting area with the waterfall in it. She thought about the past year with everything that has been going on. It had been three months since Mike held her captive and a month since her birthday fiasco. Now she had to tell Tommy something that she had been hiding from him and he has something that he needs to share with her dealing with his past. She was afraid that she was not strong enough anymore to handle all of this.

Tommy saw Jude in deep thought as he was approaching the area she was sitting. He didn't know how to tell her about his past but he knew he had to if he was going to keep the woman he loved. He loved Jude so much but lately she had been a little distant from him and it wasn't just because of what happened last night but he had been feeling it. It was when he returned to the hospital after he left to change clothes and to pack new ones. He never said anything because he didn't want to add to the stress but now he was going to because she needs to know the truth about his past.

Tommy: "Jude we need to talk and I will not take no for an answer" he sat next to her but she moved to where she was sitting across from him and staring at the waterfall instead of at him.
Jude: "So then talk Tommy"
Tommy: "Jude there is things about my past that is hard for me to talk about but for you I will try. Its not easy opening up but I love you so I am willing to let you in"
Jude: "Tommy that is all I am asking. I want you to be honest and tell me what is going on and what is the deal with Hunter and your brother?"
Tommy: "Ok well when I was 18 I was married to Portia as you know it was over with before it began. Well while I was in Boyz Attack I fell in love with this girl Angie while I was still married to Portia. Some how Portia found out so she wanted me to break up with her so in order to keep my career and to have a successful one after Boyz Attack I stuck with Portia and told Angie that I didn't love her. So Angie got pissed and took off in my car and that was the last that time I saw her" he started to cry as he thought about what happened that night. "She crashed my car and died instantly. They say the brakes were cut. If I didn't lie to her and tell her that I didn't love her she would still be here. But I was selfish and wanted the career" Jude was taken back at what he was saying. He lied to the woman he supposedly loved and then she died. Jude stared at the waterfall not knowing exactly what to say. She got up and started to walk towards the house.

Tommy: "Jude please say something. We need to finish talking"
Jude: "Tommy I need time to process this. Please just give me time to think about this" she walked into the house and avoided his family. She went to her room she was staying in and sat on the bed crying. What was she to do? He just told her what he was holding in but now how was she going to tell him what she was hiding.

Tommy sat outside thinking about what just happened. Jude barely said anything to him about what she just shared with him. He wanted to know what was going on in her head. As he sat there he didn't notice his sister Jade walk out.

Jade: "SO I guess she didn't take it well since she avoided us all and went up to her room"
Tommy: "I don't know she isn't talking to me. I think there is more going on because she has been distant from me for a while"
Jade: "have you asked her what is going on?"
Tommy: "No I just been giving her, her space because of everything that has been going on for the past year"
Jade: "Tommy maybe now isn't the time to be giving her space. You guys need to talk before you both end up not being together. All this tension and lies between you to are going to slowly tear you two apart. Trust me. Go and talk to her and don't leave her until you have talked about everything" as she said that she turned and left him.

Tommy sat and processed what his sister just said. He did need to finish telling her everything and to get her to tell him what is going on with her. He couldn't loose her not now. He loved her to much to let go of her. He got up and started making his way up to the room where Jude was.

How do I tell him? Jude thought as she sat on the bed crying. How do I tell Tommy that I am having a baby by another man?

Flashback
The doctor walked in a few minutes after Tommy left to go home.
Lance: "Jude may I talk to you since you are finally alone?"
Jude: "Yes come in."
Lance: "Well I wanted to tell you so you could be the one to tell everyone else"
Jude: "ok what is it?"
Lance: "well you know you were stabbed in the stomach and with the bleeding and where you were stabbed I am shock that I am saying this. But even with everything that happened you are having a baby" Jude looked at him in shock. How is this possible?
Jude: "Are you sure?"
Lance: "Yes. I know it is a shock but it is also a miracle. I mean with the injuries you sustained you should have lost the baby but you didn't so you and the fiancée are lucky"
Jude: "Thanks lance"
Lance: "No problem. Just let me know if you need anything" he said as he turned to the door to leave Jude called out.
Jude: "Lance how far along am I?" she had to know.
Lance: "I would say two months"
Jude: "Ok" she croaked out. She kept her tears in so he wouldn't see. She knew that the baby was Mike's. How was she going to tell Tommy? She didn't even want to believe it.
End of flashback

She was brought back by a knock on the door.
Tommy: "Jude we need to talk can I come in"
Jude: "Sure Tommy" he entered and he saw that she had been crying.
Tommy: "Jude please talk to me. You have been distant from me for a while so please tell me what is going on"
Jude: "I don't know if I can. I am scared Tommy"
Tommy: "Just try. Please for me"
Jude: "Ok Tommy" she sat there staring at Tommy to try and find the perfect way to tell him that she is having a baby that isn't his.
