A/N: Here is the second chapter I promised! Hopefully this chapter is a little better than the other one was geez. I could not write that chapter to save my life lol.
"Ugh" she said waking up slowly and covering her eyes
Her making that sound stirred him in his sleep and slowly woke him up he opened his eyes and looked at her
"You okay?" he asked laying his chin on her shoulder
She took her hands off her eyes and looked at him and smiled
"Yeah its just really bright in here"
"I noticed that" he said moving in the bed and looking around "Oh forgot to close the blinds last night" he frowned "You looked so cute last night sleeping I didn't think of anything other than watching you sleep" he smiled
"I dont remember falling to sleep" she laughed
"You were out before midnight even came around" he laughed
"Oh my God, seriously?"
"Yeah but its okay being pregnant I expect you just falling asleep in random places all the time" he laughed
"Not going to happen" she laughed
"I'm going to make breakfast" he said
"You?" she asked
"Yes me, you can stay in bed if you want" he said
"I'll take a quick shower" she said getting up and making the bed
Justin smiled and left the room and looked for things to make as she began her shower. He gathered everything and began cooking everything and had been standing at the stove for only a moment when he heard a loud thud making him drop everything and run into the bathroom where she was
"Baby! You okay?" he asked as his heart began to beat hard
"Yeah baby, I'm fine I dropped the shampoo bottle"
"Oh God" he sighed with relief
She stuck her head out of the curtain and frowned "I'm sorry"
"Its okay baby, as long as you didn't fall" he said walking to her and kissing her on the tip of her nose
She smiled "Love you"
"Love you too" he said leaving the bathroom and walking back to the kitchen and began cooking once again after changing cooking utensils since he dropped a couple of them to run to her
As he was putting everything on the table he saw her walk in from the corner of his eye, he looked at her and smiled
"Ready to eat?" he asked
"Yeah" she said sitting down as Justin sat a plate in front of her and she slowly began to eat
"its not that bad" he laughed
"Oh my God, no its not its so good" she said as she began to dig in
"Well I am glad I could do something for my babies" he said smiling as he too sat down
Her heart melted when he said that and she smiled while looking at him, she could not believe how loving and how supportive he was with everything, she loved him so much that he was loving of the fact the baby could be someone elses yet he was ready to take responsibility for it either way, his baby or not.
"Wanna go to Wades later and tell him our awesome news?" he said
"Of course" she smiled
They finished their breakfast and Justin had went off to take a shower and Lacey had put on some clothes, she actually opted on wearing a pink dress for the day. She finished up and sat down on the couch and began to think about everything. She was feeling mixed feelings about being pregnant, she was happy but at the same time she wasn't, she just held onto the little ounce of hope that the baby was in fact Justins and not Heaths. At this point she'd give anything to go back and have the whole thing never happen, she'd change the fact she didn't go out and get something to prevent a pregnancy from happening, she wanted more than anything to have changed that Heath raped her at all. So much regret began to flood her mind.
Justin finished his shower and got himself dressed and ready for the day and walked into the living room and stopped and just stared at her and could tell she was a million miles away. She was staring at the engagement on her finger at least he thought so because she was staring at her lap and her hand was there.
"Lace?" he asked walking toward her
She slowly raised her head and looked at him
"You okay baby?" he asked
She nodded "Yeah"
"Sure you seemed like you were a billion miles away, whats wrong?" he asked sitting down next to her
"Nothing, I think I am tired" she said
"We can skip going to Wades" he said
"No, no I'm okay lets go to Wades I'll probably wake up going there" she smiled
"Alright" he said standing up as they walked to the car and of course he continued opening the door for her as they began their short drive to Wades house that was only a couple blocks from their house. They walked up to the door and Justin knocked on the door and only a short moment later Wade answered
"Oh hey guys" he said looking back into the room then at them "Come in" he said moving back to let them inside
They both walked inside and realized why Wade was acting a little strange, Heath was there sitting on a chair.
"Uh I should go" Heath said standing up
"You don't have to leave" Justin said
"Yeah" Lacey said as a nervous feeling took over her body knowing he was there to hear the news and the fact she was wearing a dress made her even more uncomfortable and she reached down trying to pull the hem down trying to cover herself even though it was knee length
"We got a little announcement to make anyway you might as well be here for it you're going to know about it sooner or later" Justin said
"Oh yeah, whats up?" Wade asked
"We're getting married" he smiled
"Oh my God! Really?" Wade asked
"Yep, took her out for dinner last night and I asked her to marry me, she said yes" Justin said smiling
"Finally!" Wade smiled
The nerves finally got the best of her and she grabbed Justins arm and leaned up against the wall trying to contain her balance as Justin quickly put his arms around her
"What happened?" Justin asked
"Just dizzy" she said
"Come here" he said picking her up and carrying her to the couch sitting her down as he knelt down in front of her
"I'll grab a glass of water" Wade said leaving for his kitchen and getting a glass filling it with water and returning handing it to Justin
"Thanks" Justin said putting the water in front of her
"Thank you" she lightly said taking a drink
"You okay now?" Justin asked rubbing the side of her leg
"Yeah" she said after finishing the sip she had in her mouth
"What happened?" Wade asked
"Well that's the other thing we needed to tell you" he said standing back up and turning to Wade "we're having a baby"
"You're pregnant?" Wade asked looking at her
She nodded her head and smiled a little
"Oh wow, congratulations you guys!" Wade said giving Justin a hug
"Thanks man" he said
Wade walked to Lacey and leaned down and gave her a hug "Congratulations" he said
"Thanks" she said hugging him and glanced quickly at Heath who looked shocked by the news and she quickly put her attention back to her fiance.
"That's awesome news" Wade said
"Yeah I'm excited" Justin said smiling
"Congratulations guys" Heath said deciding not to say anything more right now other than to just be happy for them
"Thanks" Justin said
The room filled with awkward silence until Wade broke the silence
"Oh Jus, I found some more of your DVD's and I got to show you something" Wade said motioning him to his room both not realizing they were leaving Lacey and Heath alone together.
"You have all my DVD's what the hell man?" Justin laughed
"You got good movies" Wade laughed as they went into his room
Heath looked at her "H-how far along?" he asked
She looked over at him and tensed up "the doctor said he thinks 4 maybe 5 weeks I wont know for sure till I see my practitioner"
Heath thought about it for a moment and did the math in his head "So, it could be mine?" he asked
She looked at him and swallowed hard "No" she said with a shaky tone
"It was around that time" he said
"Stop" she said
"So it could be mine" he said
"Please" she begged as tears began to form in her eyes as she stood up and walked toward the door wanting to leave
Heath stood up and followed her and stopped as she turned to him and began breathing heavy feeling herself panicking a little
"You know its true" he said
"No, Justin and I are getting married, the baby is his" she demanded holding onto that hope he is the father
"Maybe" he said
"We are...his baby" she whispered tears falling down her face
Heath began to feel the anger and urges burning into him as he shoved her against the wall placing his hands around her neck but never tightening his grip. She whimpered lightly in fear as she glanced at him wanting to scream for Justin but her voice was paralyzed by fear.
"No" he said realizing what he was doing as he let her go and turned around walking a few feet from her putting his hands on his head "I'm sorry" he said as his heart began to beat hard "I don't know why I did that, I'm so sorry, God Lacey I'm so sorry" he said getting tears of his own 'Did I hurt you?" he asked seeing her slowly put her hand on her neck
She shook her head no slowly
"I'm so fucking sorry" he sighed as Justin and Wade finally returned to the room
"So yeah you can take my movies whenever you want" Justin said turning his attention to Lacey thinking she was still on the couch but saw her by the door instead and Heath standing only a few feet from her
"The fuck did you do to her?" he asked seeing she had tears in her eyes
"I did nothing, I should go" he said walking toward the door
"Fuck you man" Justin said walking to him pushing him back "not till you tell me what you did to her" he said putting his arm around her bringing her close to him "she's fucking shaking don't you tell me you did nothing" he said
"I had an urge" he began
"You fucking asshole!" Justin said running to him and attacking him to the floor while throwing punches
"I didn't do it I stopped myself!" Heath shouted
"Man stop!" Wade said pulling Justin off Heath and holding him
"I didn't do anything, I stopped my urge" he said
"He d-didn't d-do anything" she quietly said
"I should fucking kill you!" Justin shouted as Wade held him back
"Yeah you should! Then she wouldn't be scared of me and I wont have to deal with these urges anymore!" He shouted as he stood up slowly
"I'll fucking kill you if you put your hands on her again" he said
"Do it" he said "Please, I'm begging you to" he added
"Would you both fucking stop it!" she shouted opening the door walking outside
"Look what you did" Justin said
"I am not letting you go until you promise you wont attack him again" Wade said
"I'm not dealing with him I need to see where Lace went" he said
"Go out there then" Wade said letting him go
Justin eyed Heath walking pass him and outside finding she only sat outside on the porch and he sat down by her
"You okay?" he asked
"Yes" she said
"Sorry I shouldn't have left you alone with him, we were in the house, didn't think he'd do anything" he said
"Its fine, he stopped himself, he is trying Justin clearly he is trying hard since he was able to stop himself"
"He stopped himself cause he knew we were in the house" Justin snapped
"Babe, you weren't there, I saw it in his eyes the second he realized what he was doing it was like his life was ripped from him or something he's remorseful" she said
"What'd he do to you?" he asked
"Don't go back after him" she said
"I...wont" he said
"He pushed me into the wall and grabbed my neck but he never put pressure or squeezed or anything and he put his face near me and that was it the look in his eyes changed and he let me go and moved away from me" she said
"What lead up to that?" he asked
Her heart began to pound as she didn't want to explain to him about Heath thinking he was the father.
"I'm gonna be sick" she said moving from him and to the side of the porch and began throwing up in the yard
Justin stood up and walked behind her and pulled her hair back and he heard the door open and he looked over seeing Wade walk out
"Oh, she okay?" he asked
"I think so" he said
"I'll go get her water she's going to need it after that" Wade said going inside and grabbing her glass and walked back outside giving Justin the glass and walking back into his house.
"so gross" she said
"I know baby" he said rubbing her upper back
After a couple more dry heaves she finally gave up trying anymore and she wiped her mouth off and turned to him and he gave her the water.
"Thanks" she said taking a drink
"So are you going to tell me what happened?" he asked
"No" she said walking away
"Why not?" he asked
"Because its not important" she said tearing up again with her back to him
"It is to me" he said
She shook her head no and put her head down.
"Everything that happens to you is important to me" he said walking to her and facing her now "so what happened?"
"Please, I don't-"
"He thinks the baby is his don't he?" he said as she began to finally cry
Her crying let him know he nailed the answer and he put his arms around her and sighed lightly
"he will never be our babys father" he said kissing her ontop of her head as she began to sob
"please calm down Lace, the baby don't need this" he said rubbing her stomach
"come on lets get go get you some water on your face it might help" he said as they walked inside and into the kitchen as Justin sat the cup on the table and let her go the sink. As she began running cold water over her face Justin got into a cabinet and got her a towel to dry herself off with and waited till she was finished. As soon as he finished he handed her the towel and was relieved that she was much calmer now.
"You good?" he asked
"Yeah"
"Okay" he said as they both went into the living room
"Where did he go?" he asked
"He felt it was best if he left" Wade said
Justin nodded "Good"
"Justin, please give him a chance" she asked
"Why? How can you even want to forgive him?" he asked
"I am not forgiving him!" she angrily shouted
"I am just trying to give him the benefit of the doubt that he is trying and he is getting help, Justin I know he is feeling remorseful I saw the look in his eyes and I've seen that look a thousand times before and you can always tell which ones are sincere, his is sincere. Everytime I see his face now or when we are around him I see the shame, the hurt in his eyes I can just see it" she said
Justin nodded not knowing what to say as they both sat down. They spent the rest of the evening with Wade before they headed home again.
