Love Is Never Painless

Chapter 20

December -- Jude

o-O-o-O-o-O-o

It took Samantha a month to tell us what happened to her and me and Tommy were less than thrilled to hear it.

What pissed us off more was the fact that she wasn't planning on telling us either. Lani told us when she called to check on the baby.

I mean seriously, how could she not tell us she almost lost the baby that we are so desperately trying to keep a secret.

And then when we did force it out of her, she tells us it was no big deal. No big deal, can you believe she told us that?

Ha, well after Tommy ripped her a new one for the comment she said to us, Tommy told her about how McKenzie and Eric were getting closer and more 'friendly'.

Sam didn't take the news lightly, she went into a screaming fit about how McKenzie was a slut and when she popped out this baby she was going to Toronto and kicking her ass.

She made me and Tommy laugh to say the least, but in the end there was nothing to laugh about when she explained what happened between her and Antonio.

Tommy was livid. He went around all G-Major threatening to kill Antonio for what he did. He eventually caused Eric to grow concerned and Darius to grow annoyed.

And before Tommy could catch himself he told Eric what happened between Sam and Tony. He didn't tell him about the whole baby part but he told him. And when Sam got wind that Eric knew she went ballistic. Cursing, screaming, and threatening to kill Tommy. After that she stopped calling and informing us of anything.

That was 2 weeks ago.

It's now the week of Christmas and we haven't heard one word from her. Leave it to Tommy to ruin my sister bond with Sam.

She refused to come to Toronto for Christmas and wont allow us to come to New York for New Years or her birthday.

I just can't believe she is so angry with us about this whole thing. Tommy clearly didn't mean to tell Eric. And I wish she would talk to us so I can tell her.

But she's stubborn and wont listen to reason so until she decides to be the bigger person and call us we're stuck wondering.

I was just about to start writing a new song when I heard giggles coming from the hallway. Being nosey I decided to go check it out.

My decision wasn't a smart one because as soon as I opened the door I was greeted with McKenzie and Eric in heated lip lock.

"Oh Jude I just love Samantha so much I hope she comes back or at least calls me." I said in my best guy voice pretending to be Eric. He snapped out of the kiss with McKenzie and found me leaning against the doorway.

"Jude it isn't what it looks like." Eric began but stopped when I held my hand up.

"No need to explain to me. Im not the one you love." I said before turning to see a big commotion coming from around G-Major. "What's going on?" I asked walking to the break room.

"JUDE!" Sadie yelled. When I went over to her I heard the fear in her voice. "The paparazzi found Sam." She whispered looking at the TV. Fox was starting to do the report.

"Months ago Fox news first reported how Toronto's latest Instant Star Samantha Morales disappeared without a trace. But now our camera's spotted her in the busy streets of her hometown New York walking with her 2 year old daughter and what appears to be a baby bump."

"Oh god." Me and Sadie whispered at the same time looking around for Darius and Eric. We spotted both of them together glaring daggers at us. "Shit we're in trouble." I said just as Sam appeared on the TV with Natalie and a man we've never seen before smiling and linking her arm with his.

"Sources also tell Fox news that the man she's linking arms with is her new boyfriend Calvin Klein model Marco Dapper. They tell us that Samantha and Marco have been seeing each other since she's been home and that the baby she is trying so desperately to hide from us is in fact his. Fox news will follow this story as it progresses and wishes Samantha and Marco congratulations on their baby."

And with that the TV cut to commercial. Me and Sadie sparred another look at Darius and Eric and knew we were in for it now.

"YOU 5 MY OFFICE NOW!" Darius boomed before storming into the office.

I flinched visibly and held on to my own baby bump as I heard Darius slam the door to his office.

"SOMEONE TELL ME WHAT'S GOING ON RIGHT NOW BEFORE I FLY TO NEW YORK AND FIND OUT MYSELF." Darius yelled causing everyone else to flinch as well.

I looked at Sadie, Kwest, and Tommy before sighing and looking at Darius.

"We're not allowed to tell you two anything." I whispered holding Tommy's hand.

"Your not allowed to tell us anything?!" Eric yelled slamming his fist on the desk. "Samantha is in New York possibly carrying my child and you 4 have kept it a secret from us for months." He said continuing to yell. He only stopped when Darius pushed him back into the seat he jumped up from.

"Here's what we're going to do. You 4 have 2 days to contact Samantha and get her back to Toronto. If she refuses to come tell her I will file a petition with the courts to gain full custody of the child once he's born and it is known that I am the father. Got it?" Darius asked more calmly than before. "If she still refuses well I'll just have to go down there and get her myself." Darius shrugged before turning to the sound of a ringing cell phone.

Everyone looked into my direction as I gazed down to the caller id and flinched visibly. What wonderful timing does my sister have.

"Hello?"

"Jude please tell me G-Major doesn't have the news on!" Sam screamed in panic.

"I wish I could but we already seen it." I told her looking up at D and Eric who eyes grew wide when they realized who I was talking to. "I'm being forced to tell you that you are to come back to Toronto immediately. And if you refuse you have 2 options, 1 being that Darius will file a court petition for full custody of the baby once he's born and D's the father. The second one being that Darius comes to the Bronx and gets you himself." I explained holding my breath for Sam's response.

It seemed like an eternity before Samantha responded and when she did it was clear she was crying.

"I guess we get to spend Christmas together after all." Sam whispered into the phone. "I'll see you guys in a couple of days." She announced before ending the call.

As I closed my phone shut I knew 2 things were certain about Sam's return. 1 was that this confrontation will be a total blood bath. And 2 was that this could possibly be the worst Christmas ever.

I looked up to be greeted by 5 anxious faces waiting for me to tell them what Sam said.

I looked at each face slowly and slumped my shoulders in defeat.

"We'll see her in a couple days." I announced before getting up and wobbling out the room.
