I'm sorry for the delay! I was in a car accident about two weeks ago and I've been putting things off. If you also read a Mangled Heart that will be updated tomorrow I think. I hope you enjoy this update!

Positive.

Not just one positive, but two positives were staring Jack right in the face. Once he saw them, he became ecstatic for a moment, since he's always wanted to have a family of his own. But then it hit him. Whose baby is it? Better yet, how is he going to support a child?

Starting to panic, he took a deep breath and went into his room, leaving the tests on the counter in the bathroom. Changing out of his clothes, he put on his pajamas, and then went to turn off the lights in his apartment. Shutting the light off in his room, he climbed into bed and grabbed Bonnie, the stuffed bunny.

He began to cuddle, more so clutch for dear life, the bunny as thoughts raced through his head. For awhile now he wanted to be pregnant, have a family, but that was with more of a stable income. Sure he and Jeremy make enough to support a kid, though it would be almost not enough.

Jeremy. Shit! Was he going to tell him? Sure Jeremy said he would be there and love him and the baby no matter what, but Jack was doubtful. Ever since his encounter with Foxy, he has been questioning every little thing anyone does, especially Jeremy.

Letting the thoughts consume him for an hour, he had finally passed out just after midnight.

Hope walked into the restaurant rubbing the sleep from her eyes. She had been up late trying to calm down Goldie from another panic attack. She yawned walking into the kitchen and nearly bumping into a half naked Foxy. Hope went to apologize before realizing who it was and launching a punch right at his face instead. Squealing like a little girl, Foxy ran out of the kitchen holding his nose.

"What the Hell Hope!" Chica screamed holding her shirt across her chest.

"Are you kidding me right now Chica!" Hope screamed, using all of her self control to not punch Chica as well, "That monster Foxy raped your best friend! How the hell can you let him keep touching you? God you are disgusting!"

"He's the father of my child!" Chica yelled placing one hand on her stomach.

Hope froze and stared at Chica. Her eyes rested on the bump on her stomach. How had no one noticed? The uniform for the cooks was fairly loose, easily able to hide a small baby bump.

"How…. How long have you known?" Hope asked quietly.

"I had suspicions for about three months, but…. I didn't want to believe it. I… I went to the doctor yesterday and…. I'm about four months along…" Chica said tears forming in her eyes.

"If you knew what he did to Goldie and you knew you were pregnant then why do you still let him touch you?!" Hope asked, confused.

"I asked him in here to tell him. Ya know… He doesn't even know about Nico. And now I've let it happen again. I asked him in here and he just pounced on me. He knows all the things to make me wild… I couldn't fight it." Chica stared at the ground as she talked.

"You can't let him treat you like that Chica! He needs to know, about the pregnancy, about Nico… Make him take responsibility. He's rich Chica. His dad is a millionaire from owning this restaurant chain. He can afford to take care of you. There is no reason for you to not make him take responsibility." Hope said gently putting a hand on Chica's shoulder, "I'm gonna step out for a moment to let you change. I'll come back once you're ready."

Hope stepped out of the kitchen, her mind racing at this new information. Foxy had attacked two of the people she cared the most about, and now, he violated Chica by making her the mother of his child.

"I'm dressed." Chica called.

Hope walked back into the kitchen and hugged and comforted her friend, all the while trying to understand the situation.

Jack walked into work distraught. Thankfully, it was still before opening, so it meant he had time to go talk to Goldie. He wanted to confide in someone about his current situation. His instincts were telling him to go talk to Jeremy first, but given the current situation, he doubted he could.

Making a beeline for the kitchen, he went in. When he saw Goldie, he called out a greeting, and he replied with one.

"Hey, no hello for me?"

Jack was surprised to hear another voice. Turning to his left, he saw Hope leaning on one of the counters.

"Oh, hey there Hope." he said. "Sorry, I wasn't quite expecting to see you here."
"Really? I do work in here you know." she replied to him.
"I know, it's just that every time I've come in here to talk to Goldie, you're never around."

She opened her mouth to say something more, but he moved over to Goldie. He was going to talk to him alone, but she moved over. She cast Jack a look that said that anything he tells Goldie, should be relayed to his best friend. Weighing it out in his head, he decided that it was okay to tell her too.

"Okay, so Goldie, remember our conversation from yesterday?" he began.
"Yeah, you said that you were thinking that you are pregnant." Goldie replied.
"Wait, what…?" Hope let out.
"Save your questions for the end, if you don't mind." Jack said. "Though anyways, I took a couple pregnancy tests last night…"
"And…?" the two chefs said, waiting in suspense.

"...I'm pregnant."

Hope and Goldie threw on smiles, yet Jack could see right through them to see the underlying concern.

"Congrats." both of them let out.
"Yeah…" he said. "I guess. It's just that I'm nervous you know? Granted, I've always wanted a family, and I know Jeremy and I could handle a baby quite well, but I don't think we have the money to support one, even if we did, things would be tight."

He started to feel himself panic, but took a deep breath to calm down. Goldie and Hope put an arm on each of his shoulders sympathetically.

"Well no matter whose baby it is, Jeremy will be by your side." Goldie said, reassuringly.
"Yeah, and we'll make sure Fazfuck pays." Hope added.

"I suppose…" Jack said. "I… I…"
"You…?" Hope said, trying to get Jack to finish his sentence.

"I just don't want to tell Jeremy. I'm afraid he'll flip out. He's just been so angry lately. It scares me."

Jack then went over to a nearby chair, and his friends followed. He didn't want to, but he felt tears starting roll down his face.

"Oh Jack…" Hope said, giving her best friend a comforting hug, "As much as you don't want to tell him, you need to. Even though he is a bit scary at times, he deserves to know. Plus, if he does anything to you I'll beat him up."
"O-okay." he replied, barely audible.
"Now here, let's fix you something to eat," Goldie said, going around starting to collect ingredients, "Don't say anything, just eat. It'll make you feel better, and you need it."

Jack smiled. He thanked the two. As he watched them prepare his meal, he was thankful for such great friends.

Hope walked around the restaurant aimlessly. The lunch rush had finally ended and she needed a break from the heat and awkwardness of the kitchen. She looked around to see where she had come to and she was near the Prize Corner. She saw Frank and Brandon talking and hoped that they wouldn't notice her.

"Hello! How are you Hope!" Brandon called waving at her. Sighing, Hope shook her head and walked towards the two of them.

"Hi Brandon. Hi Frank. How's your girlfriend?"

"You know he would kill you if he heard you say that right?" Frank asked smiling. It seemed like nothing could bring the expecting father down. "Mark is doing fine. I've been with him as much as possible and I've been making sure he eats all the right foods and that he's being careful physically. He and the baby are both doing amazing."

"I'm fine too!" Brandon said, inserting himself into the conversation. "Senpai might get rid of the restraining order!" Hope felt like he would probably be off in the bathrooms if he didn't have a job to do.

"Right…. Good for you… So Frank, do you guys know when Mark is expecting?" Hope asked looking away from the very awkward teenager.

"Oh he's due in February." Frank said staring off. Hope was pretty sure he was spending every free moment of his time imagining his future with Mark.

"Oh, you two should probably talk to Mangle. It's company policy that you she has to be notified about a pregnant employee." Hope said, remembering Mangle's distress at last night's meeting about following company policy.

"Oh! I didn't even know. Thanks for telling me!" Frank said turning to leave and go get Mark.

"Geez all he talks about is Mark and their baby. It sure gets annoying." Brandon said to Hope with a sigh.

"Yeah, I'm sure you don't know anyone who obsesses over one specific person Brandon." Hope said with a roll of her eyes. She looked down at her watch and turned to walk back towards the kitchen.

With the lunch rush at a close, Jack let out a sigh. He started towards the security office. Although he was feeling intensely nervous about confessing to Jeremy, he knew it was the only way.

Walking in without knocking, Jeremy didn't notice him until he was at the desk.

"Oh! Hey handsome, how are you?" he said happily.
"Well…" Jack began. "I need to tell you something."
"What is it?"

Jack took in a breath. He needed to calm the butterflies he was feeling. The last thing he wanted was for Jeremy to blow up on him, leave him completely, or both.

"So I took the pregnancy tests last night like you said," Jack started, recounting last night's events, "And when I got to them… both were positive. The tests I bought are the most accurate on the market, so there really isn't any sense in denying it. Plus the symptoms I have been having all fit together."

After he finished, Jeremy didn't react. In fact, there wasn't even the slightest sense of emotion on his face. At this point, Jack didn't even think that he was going to speak.

"Sorry I said anything," Jack mumbled out, just as the tears began to make their appearance, "I just thought you had a right to know."

He turned to leave, but before he could reach the door, Jeremy had grabbed hold of one of his arms and pulled Jack into an embrace.

Jack sobbed intensely into his boyfriend's chest. All the while, he was stroking his hair, which helped calm him down.

Moving towards the couch, the two sat down. As Jack wiped his eyes clear of the tears, Jeremy began to speak.

"I'm sorry I didn't react right away," he said. "It's just that I was shocked. I've always wanted to have kids, and I didn't know I would be having a family with you."

He then kissed Jack on the forehead, causing him to blush.

Jeremy continued with his speech. "Even if the baby isn't mine, you know I'll love him or her just like my own. If we want more kids, then we'll have our 'own', but I wouldn't love the other any less."

"I know you wouldn't, and I love that we're starting a family," Jack began, "It's just that there's one aspect of this whole thing I'm concerned about."

"What is it?"
"The money."

Jeremy looked at him with a smile.

"You know we'll make this work." he said, optimistically. "We can figure something out when the time comes."

"Promise?" Jack asked.
"I promise."

The two sat in silence for a few minutes, but then Jeremy had news of his own to reveal.

"Oh! I have something to tell you too." he said excitedly.
Jack laughed at his enthusiasm. "Are you pregnant too?"
"Ha ha. We might be getting a new guard. Mangle thinks we're short-staffed on this front."

"That's cool! What's his name?"
"I don't remember. Spring something? It's weird that a guy would have a name Spring, but I'm not judging him for it. It's cool."

They continued to talk about the possible new hire for a few minutes more, but then Jack had to return to work. Saying goodbye with a kiss, Jack walked out in a better mood than when he left.

"Do you want me to come over tonight?" Hope asked Goldie as they walked out of the restaurant together.

"Hope, I'm fine. I don't need you to babysit me all the time." Goldie said with a sigh.

"I just want to make sure you're safe." Hope said stopping to look at him.

"Yeah, but you never acted like this until after… the incident. You act like he broke me. You know what Hope? I'm not broken. I'm just fine. So leave me alone." Goldie said angrily.

"Goldie?" Hope asked, confused, "What did I do? I've just been trying to help you through it. I haven't kept any secrets like that my best friend might be pregnant! As soon as Chica told me this morning I told her she should tell you."

"You know people have a right to privacy Hope and it seems like you don't believe that. Get your nose out of everyone's business. Maybe I never should have asked you out. All it got me was a girlfriend who caused me to get raped cause of her smart mouth. And then, to put icing on the cake, she treats me like I'm nothing now that he touched me." Goldie said angrily yelling at Hope.

"I- I never meant to Goldie…. I wasn't trying to treat you like you were broken…. I'm sorry." She said tears running down her face.

"Yeah. Say that to me when I can close my eyes without seeing Foxy standing over me." Goldie said, getting into his car and driving away.

Hope watched until she couldn't see his car anymore. She leaned against the restaurant falling to the ground. Her entire body shook with sobs as Foxy's punishment finally, truly, hit her with full force.
