Super sorry this took FOREVER to write. It was just hard to get time to write. Hopefully the next chapter will be up soon to compensate for the wait. Sorry!

Hope woke up to the sun filtering in her window. She sighed, staring at the curtains, and wishing them to close so she could sleep just a few more minutes. Finally, she pulled herself out of bed, wincing and cursing as she stepped on a book. The past week had been hard. She kept waking up angry and scared after having horrible nightmares. She took her anger out on her bookshelves, emptying and then refilling them. Yesterday and the day before she had just emptied the shelf of a few books, which she had neglected to put back in place. She wandered around the room, picking up the few misplaced books and shoving them back in her bookshelf before lazily wandering into the bathroom to shower and get dressed.

As the cool water rushed over her, waking her up, Hope thought of everything that had happened that week. It had been hard seeing Goldie in the kitchen and not being able to say a word to him without feeling anger and sadness grow inside of her. Chica had been angry with her as well after her outburst, so work had, for the most part, been a nightmare. The girls in the alliance had tried their best to keep her happy though, constantly bringing up her mysterious admirer from the club. Things were finally starting to smooth over after a week of intense anger and sadness.

Hope finished her shower just as the water started to turn ice cold. Checking the time, she frantically began throwing her work clothes on and running to her kitchen to make breakfast. Even if Mangle was her boss, she would still be angry, or at the very least annoyed, if Hope was late. Hope scarfed down breakfast and ran out to get to work, finally feeling, at least a little bit, like herself again.

A week had passed since Jack went to the doctor's. Everything was fine and dandy with him, but the doctor's words still echoed through his mind as he took his customers orders.

"You're pregnant alright, and from the looks of it here on the ultrasound, twins."

His heart sank, and simultaneously jumped for joy. He was slightly upset because this meant that they would need extra money for two babies, but at the same time, he was happy it was twins. Twins gave the couple two babies right away, and for Jack it was a special delight for him. For as long as he had been wanting a family, the whole time was filled with thoughts of being pregnant with multiples.

So his wish was granted, but not in the best possible way. With a heavy sigh, he trudged towards the kitchen to place the order.

Despite her best efforts Hope got to the restaurant a little after opening. As she entered and rushed towards the kitchen, an irritated Mangle waited for her.

"I know you have things going on but you can't be late all of this week too. Lucky for you I might be able to forgive you if you do me a favor. I need you to run this box down to security for me. Its just some new cameras and stuff. Actually If you can you should help them install a few." Mangle said, handing Hope a box filled with cameras and tools.

"I'm really sorry I'm late Mangle. I promise it won't happen again. I know a bit about setting these things up so I'll try to help set them up. I'm really sorry." Hope said, feeling embarrassed, but thankful that Mangle wasn't going to fire her for being late for the past week.

Hope looked around for Jack on her way to the security office but didn't see him. "He must be with Jeremy in his office." Hope thought as she went down the main hallway.

"Hey Jeremy is Ja-" She paused mid sentence as she saw someone new in the security guards office.

"Uh. Hi… Are you uh… new here?" She stuttered taking in his appearance. He was blonde with stunning amber eyes, and looked strong and a little bit like the bad boy type.

"Yeah. The name is Spring. May I ask who you are and why you are in my office?" Spring replied not looking up from the tablet where he watched the security cameras.

"Uhh. Hope and I'm here with some new security cameras to be installed. I'm supposed to help you." Hope said, irritated by the rudeness of this new employee.

"Oh, alright. Wait a minute…" Spring said, staring at Hope, "You seem familiar."

"Yeah so? I do work here." Hope replied. She also felt like this new guard seemed familiar, but she couldn't place where she met him.

"No…." Suddenly Spring's eyes lit up and he smirked, "You are from the club that night aren't you?"

"What are you talking about?" Hope asked staring at Spring.

"You were that lovely lady that I danced the night away with. You never said your name, but I would recognize a beautiful girl like you anywhere." Spring said with a flirtatious smile.

"Oh." Hope's eyes lit up in recognition. She remembered the night at the club. This was the man that had made her forget her worries. Her cheeks blushed red at his compliment.

"Finally remember me? I guess I didn't leave a good enough impression." Spring said standing up from his chair and walking to Hope. He purposely brushed against her as he walked out the door, "Come on let's get those new cameras set up beautiful."

Hope's cheeks blushed red and she followed him, grumbling about personal space, and overly flirtatious men.

When Jack pushed open the double doors to the kitchen, the last sight he expected to see was Goldie staggered over in what appeared to be pain, with a hand on his abdomen, and one over his mouth.

"Hey Goldie!" Jack called out, heading towards the chef. "Are you feeling alright?"
"No…" he replied weakly.

Jack let out a sigh.

"How long has this been going on for?" he asked.

"Around the time… you know…" Goldie answered, implying the event that had transpired a few weeks ago.

"Oh, I see. Well chances are you could be pregnant, like myself, Bonnie, and Mark."

"I-I don't think so."

Jack unintentionally rolled his eyes. He didn't mean to, but he figured he just got an understanding of what Jeremy had gone through with him when he expressed his doubts and nerves about pregnancy.

"Listen Goldie," Jack began, "I know you want to think that you aren't pregnant, but chances are high that you are. When I was worried about being pregnant, Jeremy told me to get some pregnancy tests and go from there. But I want to skip the middleman, so I'm taking you to the doctor's after work, okay?"

Goldie nodded.

"Great!" Jack beamed. "Oh, I almost forgot! Here's the order."
Goldie then went back into his usual work ethic. "Alright! I'll get right on it."

"Hand me the cheese." Chica asked Hope grumpily.

"Here. Chica you know I was only mean that day because of what happened with Goldie. I'm really sorry." Hope replied handing her the cheese for the pizzas.

"Yeah you should be sorry! But not just to me, you should be sorry for being such a bitch to Goldie too!" Chica said angrily putting the cheese on the half done pizza she was making.

"I was not a bitch to Goldie! I was just worried about him!" Hope shouted back at her.

"Yeah right. This is all your fault. My perfect little fox wouldn't be corrupted if it weren't for you! My best friend wouldn't be a rape victim if it weren't for you! You deserve everything that's coming to you Hope. I hate you!" Chica screamed, throwing the pizza on the floor and storming out of the kitchen. Hope stared at the door. She couldn't help but wonder if maybe Chica was right. Maybe if she had shut her mouth around Foxy everyone would be happy.

"Maybe I should tell Foxy to punish me… If I just stop trying and let him win maybe this will all be better." Hope said leaning against the wall. She slid down and sat on the floor, once again depressed about all the events that had unfolded recently. Hope sighed as she silently made the decision to be punished like the horrible person everyone thought her to be.

"You didn't have to do all of this for me."

Jack was driving Goldie to the doctor's. He managed to get both of them off work early so they could do this, and since pregnancies were on the rise at Freddy's, Mangle was willing to let them go. But Goldie felt as if Jack was being too nice, though he liked that someone seemed to care about him.

"Nonsense," Jack replied, "I'm just worried about you, and I want to make sure you're alright. Finding out that you're pregnant is scary business, but in a way it's an amazing find."

The chef showed his gratitude with a small smile on his face.

Soon after, they arrived at the hospital and were admitted quickly, which was unusual for something like this compared to other hospital activities.

They were ushered into an exam room, and Goldie was asked questions about how he was feeling. Since Jack also expressed his concerns for the possible pregnancy to be confirmed as quick as possible, the doctor left them alone for a few minutes.

"Hey Jack?" Goldie asked, looking over at him from the table.

"Yeah Goldie?" Jack said. "Something wrong?"
"Well, it's not really wrong, but…."
"But?"
"When they were saying that we were together, you didn't deny it, you just went along with it."
"Well I've had to explain stuff like this to people to the point where I've gotten tired of trying to convince them that, for example, we're not a couple. So, I just roll with it. I'm sorry if it is made you uncomfortable."

"Kind of, but I would have preferred if you told me before we walked in."

Jack opened his mouth to say something more on the matter, but was cut short by the doctor coming back in with the ultrasound machine.

The doctor instructed Goldie to lift up his shirt, and smeared the gel over his abdomen causing him to shiver. She then moved the wand over, and instantly found something.

Motioning Jack over, she titled the screen over to the two of them. Looking at where she was pointing, it was clear that there was a baby there. She expressed her happiness to them, and to look the part, Jack gave Goldie a hug.

She was finished and was sending them on their way when an ER doctor came in, telling the doctor that a bad case just came in, and that her help was needed. With a hurried goodbye, she left to attend to the emergency.

As she was leaving, Jack grabbed Goldie some towels, and he wiped down his abdomen. He stood up and threw them away, and then he hugged Jack. When he pulled back, Jack could tell that he was holding back tears.

"Thank you," he said, voice shaky, "Thank you for caring. Ever since it happened, I've just felt so alone."
"Hey now, you know I'll be there for you." Jack in response. "I know what you've gone through, so if you need me, I'll be there. Now let's go get some dinner, my treat."

With a smile, both of them left the room.

Hope took a shaky breath before walking into the Kid's Cove.

"Well hello lass." Foxy said with a smirk, "What can Foxy do for you? Your little blonde not pleasurable enough for ya?"

"Leave him out of this. I know that Jack and Goldie getting hurt was because of me. I'm here to tell you to leave them alone." Hope said, her voice completely calm, although inside she burned with rage.

"Oh really? And tell me sweetie, why would I do that?" Foxy asked walking up to Hope, his eyes trailing down her body. Hope shivered with disgust as she felt his eyes examining her.

"Do your worst to me. Take out your anger on me. Rape me, beat me I don't care." Hope said, barely keeping her composure as she said it.

"Lass…" Foxy said with a smirk, "You would be lucky if I raped you. I would never pleasure you with my touch. It would be a reward not a punishment. Although beating you… Now that sounds like an appealing punishment." Foxy growled before throwing her against the wall and raining punches down on her head.

Before long, everything went black for Hope.

Jack and Goldie were leaving the hospital after the doctor's rash departure. They had only made it to the ER entrance when they saw a worried Carrie and a angry Toni rushing into the building.

As both parties approached each other, they were confused.

"What are you two doing here already?" Toni asked when they were close enough.

"Well we were here to see if Goldie was pregnant," Jack began. "Which he is. Why are you here?"

"Foxy beat up Hope!" Carrie practically yelled, biting back tears. "It was horrible…"

"That asshole is going to pay for doing that to her," Toni said. "What I ought to do to him…"

Jack's mouth was wide open. He didn't quite know how to react.

"It's my fault…" Goldie said under his breath.

"Goldie, this isn't-" Jack began.

"YES IT IS!" he yelled. "If we didn't have that stupid fight a week ago, we would have been together and none of this would have had to have happened!"

The group was taken aback by Goldie's reaction.

"Where is she?" he demanded.

"In surgery or something like that," Toni said, "I mean that's where I would take her. She was beaten up pretty bad. The paramedics told us they've never seen anything like this before."

"I guess we'll just have to wait Goldie," Jack said to his friend. "That's all we can do is wait."

He opened his mouth to say something, but Jack cut him off.

"I know you're feeling a cocktail of emotions right now," Jack said, "But you need to calm down. Hope's a strong girl, and she'll pull through. Though for now, take a deep breath and take time to process everything before doing something rash. Besides, I doubt all this anger is good for the baby."

Goldie looked down at his stomach. He knew Jack's words were right, though his instincts were telling him to go to Hope and beat up Foxy. Sighing, he nodded and the group sat down. In an attempt to pass the time, Toni and Carrie were abuzz with the news of Goldie's pregnancy, and starting asking Jack about his own, since they haven't had the time until now.
