Chapter 6: Is Lauren mines. John thought to himself.
Last time: "Joss trust me, I know. But I want to do this right. And after today, I don't want to loose the control I have right now." John admitted. Joss understood him. He two two strides over and pulled her close to him. He kissed her long and soft. Biting her lower lips making her whimper in want. She pulled him close enough so he wouldn't want to break free.
"John." She said breathlessly, she sway a bit against his body. "Not to night Joss. Soon." He said leading her to his room. He laid her down, kissing her good night. Joss was tired from today's events and he could tell. As soon as her head hit his pillow she was out.
Lauren woke up in her bed. Remembering what had happened the day before. Someone came after her and her father if he was her father. Saved her, well Joss to. They were both worried about him more so Joss. She could understand why too. They loved each other and she hoped that she was his kid, so Joss can be her step-mother 'who slow down.' Laruen thought to her self. Lauren had no one left. She couldn't go back home even if she wanted to her family wouldn't understand what happened.
She grabbed her Ipod and dock thingy that goes with it and headed down stairs to the loft. She was scrolling down her list of songs wondering what would be a good shower song today . Points Of Authority-99 Problems- with Jay-z and Linkin Park is a good song and it fit what she was thinking. She had grabbed her shower stuff that her and Joss had picked up on the way there to the loft. When she got to the bathroom her jaw dropped. Who ever her father if he was her father worked for did a good job on the bathroom.
She put the iPod in the dock and close the door hoping its sound proof if its not oh well. Time to wake the love birds she thought. It was past 1pm.
"If your having girl problems I feel bad for you son
I got 99 problems but a bitch ain't one
Hit me
Got Mike
He's got the rap patrol on the gat patrol
Foes that wanna make sure his casket's closed
Rap critics that say he's "Money Cash Hoes"
He's from the hood stupid what type of facts are those
If you grew up with holes in your zapitos
You'd celebrate the minute you was having doe
So fuck critics you can kiss our whole asshole
If you don't like my lyrics you can press fast forward
Got beef with radio if we don't play they show
They don't play out hits well we don't give a shit SO
All these mags try and use our ass
So advertisers can give 'em more cash for ads... fuckers
I don't know what you take us as
or understand the intelligence that Jay-Z has
I'm from rags to ritches nigga we ain't dumb
I got 99 problems but a bitch ain't one
Hit me
99 Problems but a bitch ain't one
If you having girl problems I feel bad for you son
I got 99 problems but a bitch ain't one."
"I'm going to kill her. What time is it?" John said waking up to Lauren playing her iPod.
"Its 1pm and she knew we needed to wake up. Touch her, you die." Joss said sitting up.
"Really what is a fourteen year old playing a song like that." John said, he got up and put is long pajamas pants on forgoing his shirt but going for his muscle shirt.
"Most Fourteen year old listen to that kinda of music John. I'm sure Taylor got some on his play-list that I don't know about." Joss said while getting up. She was deciding on what to wear. And she opted for her boy shorts and a razor back tank top.
"Well if you put it like, Joss we need to know if she's mine." John said changing the topic he wanted Lauren to be his daughter.
"Let me call Fusco to see if they got the test results." Joss said leaving their room. She went in to the living room to hear Lauren's iPod playing the Roots Rising Down. She remember asking Fusco to go to Lauren's house in ATL, a week ago to collect Lauren's DNA.
"Hey, Carter whats up?" Fusco said answering the phone. He knew why Joss was calling and he was putting it off for a day or so. Lauren is Johns kid but is John ready for this responsibility. Having a kid changes everything
"Was wondering if you had gotten the DNA test results." Joss said, she was hoping Lauren would stay in the bathroom for another five min. Soon as she thought that Lauren comes out dress in gray sweets pants on and a baby blue razor back tank top. She had her head phones in thank goodness.
"Yeah, she's his kid Carter, I asked them to run it twice and it came back to be his kid. How are you guys gonna protect her now." Fusco asked. He knew why Joss left and he knew that the who ever wanted Lauren wanted Wonder Boy. He thinks that if they can get Lauren Wonder Boy would surly come after them.
"Thanks Fusco I'll let them know." Joss said sighing. John wanted Lauren to be his kid but is he ready. If he's not she'll be there to help him get ready for fatherhood. He's already great with Taylor.
"Whats dougie?" John said listening to the music blaring through Lauren's Headphones.
Joss just burst out laughing; she didn't answer because its hard to explain Dougie. She would make a mental note to show him a youtube video of it. She walked over to Lauren and tapped her shoulder. Lauren pulled her headphones out of her ears.
"What's up?" Lauren asked eying Joss and John.
"Thanks for the wake up call this afternoon." Joss said smirking. She was also wondering whats else is on Lauren's play-list.
"Opps guess I kinda had it loud. Linkin Park and Jay-Z are my favorite shower time song. Ok what's going on. Both of ya have this look. Like someone died look." Lauren said she wasn't really paying attention. John was making them breakfast, he stopped what he was doing and plated the food.
"We got good and well bad news. It all depends on how you take it Lauren." Joss spoke up. She knew John heard part of the conversations between her and Fusco.
"Okay just spill it already." Lauren said getting irritated by the minute she was wondering what was going on. She had two guesses but she only needed one.
"I just got, the answer to the DNA Test results. And Lauren your Johns daughter." Joss said taking in Lauren's emotions that splayed across her face. She also glanced at Johns direction to see the same exact emotions splaying across his face. They were anger, relief and happiness for John. As for Lauren she just couldn't pin point the emotions going through the fourteen year old's head.
"Um..." Lauren said, she looked floored. Like she wanted to blot and run for five and half miles.
"I know that look and no. Someone just tried to kill you." John finally spook up. He didn't want her running a mile or a few to clear her head.
"Bullshit! I need to run." Lauren said she need to and he knows her. Cause he felt the same way.
"What if I take her to New York University indoor Track." Joss shot back at John. He hated to let Lauren go out but if she's anything like Him; she needs to run to clear her head.
"Fine but take your gun and I want you to wear your vest." John said to Joss he hated it but he knew Lauren need this.
"Thanks, I'll go up stairs and get my running gear on." Lauren said bolting up stairs,as she left her iPod on the table.
"John I know you, I want you to be here when we get back. She's probably gonna run for about five hours. That should give you enough time to do some of your own running of your own. She was probably told you were dead or something like that. So we need to give her time before she accepts you as her father." Joss said to John. She notice Lauren's iPod and picked it up.
"I know, I feel the same. I never wanted to leave Portugal and leave Kim behind but I had no other Choice. If I had knew she was pregnant with Lauren I wouldn't have left her behind." John said, Joss had a mix of emotions splayed across her face. One of them was sadness for both John and Lauren.
"I know John, but its in the past. Now you know she's yours, I know you're going to take care of her." Joss said scrolling down the list of Lauren's iPOd. She had to give it to the girl, who has good taste in music. Most of these songs were Oldies. Which means Lauren has a bit of an old soul.
"Like what you see Joss?" Lauren said while coming back to the living slash dinning area. She notice Joss scrolling through her iPod
"Yeah you got good taste in Music. What got you interested?" Joss asked she was wondering what kinda kid Lauren is.
"Oh, mum had me in piano lessons by time I was five, singing lessons at four and the rest is history. I love sports more than life its self. And I'm pretty good with a sick and a puck gliding with it. Before all this started; I just learned that I was the only freshman chick on a varsity hockey team. Which is big deal down in ATL." Lauren replied she missed her life back in GA but things happen for a reason is what her mum always said to her.
"Keep her safe Joss." John said, as Lauren got her Black Eminem hoodie and headed toward the door. She kept her back from John and Joss.
Joss walked over to John and gave him a kiss. "You're hot when you worry. And I will" She said kissing him again. He pulled her for one more kiss and let her go.
"Okay really PDA in front of a fourteen year old should be out law. Can we blot already." Lauren said giggling. She was so gonna have fun with them. Joss walked Lauren to her car and started to head off to NYU Indoor track in field house. Leaving John to think about what was just reveal to him. Lauren was his. Now since he knows officially, he needed, scratch that he wanted to protect her even more. Even if that means giving his life up for her's
