Part 15
"What do you mean his miracle?" Tyler asked while sending his mother a confused look. What could possible have happened during one little phone call.
"Rachel's parents are on their way to talk to us about this accusation against Reid. I do not know what they want to say, but if they want to meet with us, it doesn't appear it would be in Rachel's interest as any communication between the prosecutor and defendant is normally done through the lawyers".
"So you mean that they might want to testify against their own daughter?" Reid asked, somewhat shocked that any parent would willingly contemplate such an action.
"It would appear so. But let us not jump to conclusions. Let's wait and find out why Mr and Mrs Atoms want to meet at such short notice".
XXXXXXXXXX
"Mrs Simms?" A voice Tyler knew immediately was that of Mrs Atoms. He spun around in his chair and saw the woman and her husband walk into the office, looking around nervously at each of his friends.
"Mr and Mrs Atoms, welcome. Please, take a seat" Mrs Simms smiled politely at the couple as they did as instructed.
"Thank you. First of all, we would like to apologize to you, Tyler, for the lies our daughter told you about me and my wife. As you can see, I am in fact not dead and my wife is in perfect health, or as perfect as a woman of her age can be" Mr Atoms said while looking at the youngest. "And secondly to you, Mr Garwin. I do not understand why Rachel would lie about such a thing, I am sure yourself and your friends would be able to enlighten us into such knowledge, but whatever the reason, it is no excuse. Rachel must learn that making false accusations of such nature do have consequences, which is why we are here now, Mrs Simms" He spoke before returning his attention to the eldest woman in the room "We wish to testify against our daughter that she has in fact, lied about your son to us, claiming he was in a deathly car accident, which is apparently not true either".
"Very well, Mr Atoms. You are doing the right thing, as hard as it may be. You are also aware that there is in fact a baby between all this as well are you not?"
"A baby? Good heavens! Well, who is the father?" Mrs Atoms gasped while looking around franticly at the boys spread out around the room.
"That would be me, ma'am" Tyler mumbled before taking a few steps forward, letting Reid's hand fall from his in the process.
"You got my daughter pregnant!" Mr Atoms snarled while standing and walking closer to the younger boy.
"I wore protection every time, Sir, I swear on my friends' life's I did. I also asked her if she would go on the pill, you know, just encase, and she told me she was. I guess it is obvious now that this was a lie also" Tyler explained while waving his hands around for added effect. The older man seemed to calm down somewhat and sat back down, rubbing his eyes with the palm of his hands.
"Why would she do this though, make up such a hurtful lie" Mrs Atoms whispered to herself, not realising that Reid had overheard.
"Because, ma'am, when Tyler found out about her lies, he left her, surely you can understand why. At the same time, I was having some; family difficulties and so Tyler, Pogue and Caleb all came to England looking for me. As you can see, they eventually found me and well, Tyler realised that Rachel, and girls in general just didn't do it for him anymore. Rachel cornered us at the air port as soon as we returned, and well, you know the rest of the story" Reid explained and tried to control his laughter when the two parents in front of him realised what he was saying.
"So you are telling us that you and our daughters ex boyfriend, and the father of her baby, are in a romantic relationship with each other?" Mr Atoms asked while secretly hoping he had misunderstood the blonde boys meaning.
"I believe you understand what I am saying, Mr Atoms" Reid smiled while trying desperately to hide his laughter.
"Mr Simms. When the baby is born, if there is a baby, which I am not completely sure there is, but if there is, and you are the father, what would you do?" Mrs Atoms asked.
"I would do what any honourable man would do, ma'am. I would claim the baby as mine, and support my son or daughter the best I could. As for Rachel, I would not suddenly jump back into her bed, that would be unfair, but I would agree to visiting rights and things. After all, the child is blameless".
"Mrs Simms, you raised a very respectable man" Mrs Atoms smiled as the other woman practically glowed with pride at her son.
"I must agree. Son, you do your mother proud" Mr Atoms smiled before looking taken aback as the young man he was aggressing took a few steps back before leaving the room.
"Excuse me" Reid said before following quickly after his boyfriend.
"Mr Atoms. Do not feel insulted, my son's father passed away two years ago" Mrs Simms explained as a look of understanding passed over the other mans face.
"Ah".
XXXXXXXXXX
"Tyler!" Reid screamed as he ran after the brown haired boy.
"Sorry, it's just, yeah" Tyler sighed when Reid had finally caught up to him.
"I understand, it's alright, baby boy. Come on" Reid smiled while taking him by the hand and leading him towards his bedroom.
"Now really is not the time, Reid" Tyler laughed when he noticed where he was being led.
"I know. Let's just go and relax. Everything is going to be okay now".
"I believe you".

Two chapters in one day XD I hope you like it. Sorry it's a little short, I just didn't want to do the court case in this chapter. Which is the next one, by the way. All of it lol. I'm hoping to write all of it today and have that posted today as well. The reason? I want this story done. Not because I want it over with, but because it's been on the go for over a year, and to me, that's to long to have a story go unfinished. Plus I have a new story, already wrote the first three chapters last night, and I want that up and posted to see what you guys think :)
So yeah, look out for Chapter 16 either today or tomorrow, I promise.
