Hi,
sorry that the new chapter took me so long. I am very busy at the moment so my updates will take longer from now on.
Disclaimer - I don't own Victorious.
The next morning we are all allowed to go home. Thankfully Amelie is fine again and the doctor's see no problem by letting her go to Jake.
Cat drives me and Amelie home so we can get changed than she drives us to Beck's sister's flat.
I knock and a few minutes later, Karen opens me.
"Good morning", she smiles at me, brightly. "Do you want to come in?"
"I'd like to but Cat is waiting in the car", I point to my waiting best friend.
"Okay than", Karen nods. "When will you pick her up again? Would you like to eat lunch with us? Beck is coming over too."
"That's not a good idea", I shake my head, running a hand through my hair. "I don't want to intrude your family dinner."
"You are not", she tells me, smiling. "I wouldn't offer it if it bothered me."
"Please Jadey I want to spent time with Jake and Beck", Amelie pouts, pulling my sleeve.
"Fine, baby girl", I give up. "But only if it is really okay for Mrs Oliver."
"It's Miss Oliver", she tells me. "But you can call me Karen when we are in private."
"Okay", I nod. "So I should go than. I'll buy some desert. What would you like me to get, Karen?"
"What about some red velvet cupcakes?", she suggests. "Beck told me they are Amelie's favorites."
"Really?", I ask her surprised. "You were talking with him about her?"
"Yes", Karen nods. "He really adores her. He told me about you two all the time."
"What did he say about me?", I raise an eyebrow.
"He just told me about how amazing you are with her", she smiles, brightly. "Beck said you were an even better sister for Amelie than I am for him. I got kind of offended because I am a great big sister, seeing as I was in Canada and never got on his nerves but well boys whatever you do it's wrong."
"I was with Beck for four years", I chuckle. "I know how hard it is to please him."
"He said the same about you", she grins at me. "It's terrible that you both broke up. I think you two were very cute from what I heard."
"I'd love to talk about my ex with his sister but I got detention for making out with him in public so I've got to go", I kiss Amelies head. "Have fun, cutie pie."
I storm away, blowing a kiss at the little one.
I get in the car with Cat who drives me to school and than goes to buy me some cupcakes.
Detention is very boring today. Helen sits across from us and watchs us closely so we won't make out or talk at all.
After detention I take the cupcakes out of my locker and follow Beck to his car.
We drive to his sister's house and get out. On the way we don't really talk to each other, I wouldn't know what to tell him.
"Jadey", calls Amelie and jumps in my arms as Karen opens us the door.
I twirl her around laughing. "Hey baby girl how was your day?"
"It was amazing", she kisses my cheek. "Now put me down again."
I chuckle and put her back down. She hugs Beck's legs, giggling and than runs off again.
Karen lets us in. "How was detention, you both?"
"It was so boring", Beck groans. "We were not allowed to do anything besides sit there."
"Well little brother what did you expect?", she laughs, loudly. "That you can make out again?"
"How do you know that's why we got detention?", he frowns, blushing.
"I am a teacher", she rolls her eyes. "We had a conference because of it."
"That's just your fault", I push Beck angry. "Now the teachers think I am a slut."
"Babe we were together for almost four years", he wraps his arms around my waist. "Nobody thinks your a slut because they know we were always just with each other."
"Who says I never had an other guy?", I tease him, wrapping my arms around his neck. "We were broken up almost three weeks."
"Come on, babe", he laughs, kissing me. "Stop teasing me."
I kiss him back deeply, pressing myself against him. "You always teased me too."
"Never about something like that", he places soft kisses on my neck.
"I don't want to interupt you", Karen clears her throat. "But lunch is ready. So Beck get the kids and Jade please set the table."
"Okay", I nod and do as she told me. The dishes were set on the kitchen counter so I just had to put them on the table.
Beck returns with the kids a few minutes later and we all sit down.
"Jadey can Jake come over tomorrow?", Amelie asks me, smiling.
"No cutie pie", I shake my head. "He can come over next week."
"Okay", she pouts a bit but than starts giggling again.
"Lunch is delicious", I nod at Karen. "Best thing we got to eat for months."
"How's that?", she asks me, confused.
"Jade can't cook", Beck grins at her. "She tried it once and almost burned down the house."
"Way to embarass me", I glare at him but have to chuckle a bit myself.
"What about your parents? Why did they not cook for you?", Karen asks me.
"My mum left a few days after Amelie was born", I tell her indifferent. "She is an actress and left for the broadway. And my dad is an even worse cook than I."
"I am sorry for that", she says, quietly. "It must be hard for you."
"I am glad she's gone", I simply shrug. "It was just a question of time until she found a reason to leave and Amelie was."
"I can't understand people who leave their family", she shakes her head, bitter. "I could never leave my baby behind for a career. I even gave up on my career to be there for Jake."
I feel guilty when I hear her words. I am no better than the people she loves and neither is Beck. If she knew that she's probably judge us too.
"Sometimes people have no choice", I say quietly, trying to explain myself.
"You always have a choice if you really want it", she sighs, looking at me.
"Karen don't be too hard on Jade", Beck says to his sister. "She is right. You never know."
"Beck what's wrong?", she asks, looking between us conspicious.
"It's nothing, Karen", he says immediately, running a hand through his hair.
"Beck I may have been in Canada the last four years but I am still your big sister", she glares at him. "I know you and I can say that you are lieing to me."
"Karen", he sighs.
I reach over the table and take his hand. "It's fine if you want to tell her. As she said she's your big sister."
"Are you sure?", he asks me insecure.
I just nod and Beck sents the kids out of the room to go play.
"Listen Karen you can't tell anyone", he starts, holding onto my hand. "Not even mum or dad, got it?"
"Yes", she says, leaning back in her seat. "Now tell me."
"Well as you know", I sigh, squeezing Becks hand. "Beck and I started dating about five years ago when we were thirteen."
"A year later when we were fourteen our relationship got more intimate", Beck continues. "Seeing as we were still very young we were not really careful and the unavoidable happened."
Karen just listens to us, quietly but from the look on her face I could say that she already knew what was going to come.
"I got pregnant", I continue anyway. "with Amelie. I told my parents and while my mum got furious and left for the broadway, my dad agreed that he would help us. That was very surprising for me since he absolutely hates me because he thinks my dreams are stupid. He sent me to my aunt in Phoenix and told everyone that my mum was having a baby. After Amelie was born, I came back with her and ever since than she was my sister."
"So Amelie is your daughter", Karen mutters, looking between Beck and me.
"She is", he nods.
"Wow", she says, taking a deep breath. "That are surprising news."
"I should go now I guess", I mutter, getting up. "I understand if you don't want Jake to play with Amelie now anymore."
"What?", she calls, jumping to her feet quickly. "No stay please. I would never forbid Jake to play with her. I mean she is my niece. That is so confusing."
"Are you sure it's okay?", I ask her, quietly. "I mean I am no better than the people you judged earlier."
"You were a child", she says, quietly. "That is something different. You did what was best for the three of you but not out of egoistic reasons."
I sit down next to Beck again, sighing. He wraps his arm around my shoulder and pulls me to him. "It's fine", he kisses my forehead.
I reply nothing and just hold onto him. Maybe telling the truth was not that bad after all.
