Years Later
Summary: Fighting and secrets exposed, not in that order.
1st Part
Joel stood outside Clare's hospital door frozen when he heard her utter those words
"The doctor told me I was three months and three months ago you and I slept together so it's yours." Clare said and when he heard her say that he thought he was going to pass out. She cheated on him! The realization hitting him, she cheated on him with a dirty, pathetic alcoholic whose going nowhere in life. She was pregnant with that slob's kid. He needed to talk to Clare for whatever reason he still loved her no matter what. He knocked on the door and opened it. He expected to see them kissing but no Clare was lying on the bed ad Fitz was sitting down, their heads both turned to him.
"I'll let you two talk." Fitz said before getting up and leaving. Joel shut the door and sat down where Fitz had been before.
"So, how are you feeling?" He asked her, Clare smiled slightly
"I'm ok." She replied. Joel nodded
"You just fainted from exhaustion so you'll be fine." Joel told her
"Yeah." Clare said Joel looked at her,
"So, you slept with Fitz while I was away and now you're pregnant." Joel said Clare instantly paled.
"Yes, but I'm so sorry I didn't mean for this to happen." Clare said looking into his eyes.
"So you didn't mean to sleep with that mechanic?" Joel asked incredulously.
"I don't know!" Clare exclaimed, Joel stood up
"Where are you going?" Asked Clare Joel turned to her and placed a sweet kiss on her lips
"To see a friend." Was all he said before leaving the room. After he left Bianca and Tyler arrived at her room with some food.
"What was all that about?" Asked Bianca, Tyler ran up to Clare and hopped up on the bed and cuddled up to his mum.
"He knows what happened between me and Fitz." Clare said sadly. Bianca came and sat down at the chair. She held Clare's hand
"Everything is going to work out for the better." Bianca told her. Clare looked uncertain.
2nd Part
Fitz arrived at his apartment; he couldn't believe Clare was going to have his baby. He sat down on his couch and leaned his head against the back. He sat there for a while until he heard someone loudly knocking on his front door. He slowly got up and opened the door only to be greeted by a punch in the face the force pushed him back,
"What the hell!" Fitz exclaimed holding his face he looked up to see Joel towering above him.
"You piece of crap knocked up my Clare!" Joel yelled jumping on Fitz and punching him in the face repeatedly. Fitz knew he was stronger than Joel so he threw Joel off him, Joel went flying towards kitchen counter, he stood up and growled at Fitz. Fitz stood up also and wiped the blood from his mouth.
"Can't we talk about this?" asked Fitz, he was getting angry and didn't want to seriously hurt Joel.
"What's there to talk about? You slept with my Clare, she's not yours anymore she is going to marry me!" Joel said angrily. Fitz took a deep breath.
"You're still going to marry her?" asked Fitz. Joel nodded
"It doesn't matter to me, as long as you take the kid once it's born and leave town." Joel said staring Fitz down. Fitz shook his head.
"I could never do something like that to Clare." Fitz said shaking his head.
"Why not? Is it because you're not man enough to do that?" Asked Joel, Fitz rolled his eyes
"You're trying to make me feel bad but I can't so that because I love Clare." Fitz said. Joel smiled
"Then why did she dump you?" Asked Joel,
"Why are you asking all of these questions?" Asked Fitz angrily
"Because, why do you think Clare hasn't left me for you?" Joel asked, that made Fitz look down
"Because she doesn't love you anymore, you two may have history but in the end she has your kid and she's going to marry me and there's nothing you can say to change that." Joel said before leaving. Fitz sat back down on the couch and thought about what Joel said. Clare doesn't love him. Maybe he should let her marry Joel and then when their kid is born he should take all of his kids and leave.
3rd Part
Clare lay in her hospital bed and thought about her situation, Bianca had taken Tyler home to stay with her for a bit, and Joel didn't really like Tyler because Fitz is his dad. She heard the doorknob turn and Joel strode in. He had a black eye from when he had hit the counter face first. She gasped
"What happened to you?" She asked him, Joel came over to her and sat on the chair.
"I went to talk to Mark and he went crazy and hit me in the face, that man is a psycho." Joel said holding Clare's hand. Clare looked at him. How dare Fitz do that to Joel! She thought. She couldn't wait to get out of the hospital to confront Fitz.
