Ok so the last Chapter Barrett and Leonel found out about the pregnancy…that didn't go so well…but how will Rosalind and Jack react? Let us find out! Shall we?

I was sitting on one of the benches in the de Sainte-Coquille square; my best friend had his arm around me affectionately. He was grounded for a LONG time, but his parents haven't picked his punishment. However, he wasn't allowed to be out. I wanted to tell him to go home before his parents found out, but he refused. Saying he wouldn't leave me alone in a depressing time.

"Why did this have to happen?" I asked as he hugged me, my tears falling from my eyes to the concrete, "I can't even tell my parents." I confessed as he pulled my eyes towards his eyes, "Do you want me to come with you?" I shook my head.

"I don't want your head to be chopped off." I replied wiping the small tear from the corner of my eye.

"Be lucky we have Mana's class today." He said as he helped me up leading me to the academy.

We took our usual seat, waiting for the rest of our classmates; my best friend leaned over and whispered, "I'm here for you. Especially now." Giving one of his sweet smiles, geez if I were first meeting him, I would still assume he was a girl! That or gay…I chuckled as Leonel tipped his head to the side.

"Wh-what's so funny, Clara?" I just shook my head and waved my hand gesturing him to ignore me. The classroom door opened as Ms. Mana stepped in, along with Leann and Orland; they took their seats as Ms. Mana stood in front of the class and in a sing song voice she exclaimed "Good Morning, class!" geez, Ms. Mana is NEVER sad, at least I've never seen her upset, then again…her life's probably been perfect. The only flaw is having an overprotective father; but next to that, she didn't have to deal with unprepared pregnancy as I do.

The bell rang, as the yard of the school was flooded with teens, I took a left walking slowly to my house. Today I'm telling them. My parents are going to know of my secret. I grabbed the knob and slowly twisted it, pushing the door open. I walked in to my parent's shocked faces and Barrett…oh no! He told them! I know he did!

"Cl-Clara…" Barrett began, with a bit of an angry nervous look "I told you to tell your parents!"

"Y-you told them?!?" I was shocked and angry, "Well I had assumed you told them; I wanted to work things out between visitation rights for Leonel!" I felt the tears coming, dammit. This year couldn't get any worse. Barrett just sighed.

"I'll be back with Leonel around 3:30 to 4." In addition, with that he just left. Left me to face my parents, whom I could tell were both VERY mad!

"Clara! What in the world was going through your little mind?!?" My father shouted, as my mother put her hand on his chest.

"Darling, calm down!" she began, but it only made matters worse, "Ca-calm down?!? You're telling me to calm down?!? Rosalind! Our daughter is having a baby at fifteen years of age! And you're telling me to calm down?!?" I looked down, I had to, I just couldn't face them; I began sniffling a bit; and their bickering didn't help. I had to go to my room. I HAD to be alone.

I just lay there, the tears falling from my eyeballs, which was an expression my dad always used meaning I was crying harder than normal. This was hard for me! Why couldn't they understand? I thought they loved me! I began crying harder than hard, it was becoming out of control; I could hear my father downstairs in an angry voice 'I KNEW we shouldn't have had Leonel come up here when Clara got sick during the dance festival! Maybe she wouldn't be in this condition!' I wanted to yell it happened on his birthday; but I was too choked up to say anything. They hated me. I KNOW they did! Mom always told me she'd be there for me; but she's not. My pillow was soaked with salty water that happened to still be dripping from my eyes.

A knock on my door, I continued sobbing, but I could still make out a "Go Away!" as my mother opened the door; she affectionately placed her hand on my back, her fingers rubbing my back and stroking my hair.

"Oh, baby, I'm so sorry." I couldn't reply, I just jumped up and completely buried my head in my mother's chest, soaking her bosom.

"Shhhh, Clara calm down." She began rocking me back and forth, but I couldn't settle down. This was ALL happening so fast! What happened to the little girl I used to be? I missed it. Why did this all have to happen so fast?

My father came in and sighed, "I'm sorry, Clara.' He was looking down, "I was just angry and upset at myself."

"Yourself? How?" he just ruffled his hair, before answering, "I just don't think your mother and I really talked to you a whole lot about this…" I looked down and blushed in embarrassment and sadness. It wasn't true; at least I didn't think it was.

"Y-You're not going to hurt Leonel? Are you?" I was a bit scared, but my father just smiled, "I'm going to MAKE him be a part of the baby's life, whether he likes it or not." I just blinked and smiled a bit, "I think he'll accept it."

It was around 4:30 when Barrett and Leonel knocked at our door; my father opened the door, letting them in, but secretly gave Leonel I'm-Going-To-Murder-You looks, fortunately, Leonel didn't notice and my father stopped when I gave him glares.

Barrett was the first to speak after a long moment of silence, "So when are you due, Clara?" I looked up and blinked. Due? I hadn't a clue of when I was going to pop a baby out of my system, so I just shrugged.

"I…I don't know…" Barrett laced his fingers and pressed them on his lips in a thinking matter, "Should we take you to see, Ray?" I blushed, "Or we could have Dorothy examine you." I nodded.

"Either's fine with me." I replied, Barrett just nodded, "I'll have both take a look at you." He turned to my parents, "Would that be okay? If I took her to see Ray and Dorothy?" my parents both looked at each other before turning back to Barrett nodding.

"But we're coming too." My father stated before Barrett had a say; he just nodded.

"She's your daughter." Was his response as he led Leonel out of the house. I noticed he was still pretty pissed at us, but he seemed a bit better about the situation then he was the first day, but then again…he was probably a good actor. I mean according to my father he was extremely rude, especially to Dorothy…I guessed it was because he liked her and wanted to hide his feelings. Or maybe she liked him and Barrett didn't want to be by himself? I didn't know what to think as I yawned, rubbing my eyes. I bid my parents good night, heading for my room; which in reality I just stared at the ceiling. I just wanted to be by myself, what with being nervous about my appointment and all. I just hope Yue, the twins, and Alicia were out of the hospital by the time Ray and Dorothy told me when the baby was due. I didn't want anyone else to know…not yet at least. I'll tell everyone when the time is right.

Slowly I closed my eyes resting my hand on my slightly pudgy belly; I knew my life would change in so many ways.
