So, this is the fourth chapter since last night and I'm really loving writing about the kids, so I have no idea when I'm going to end it, but I hope you all like it! Let me know what you think! :)

Chapter Twenty Two

Jacqueline POV:

After texting Pat last night I went straight to bed. I was overwhelmed and upset that they would keep something like that from me. Of all the girls Patrick comes into contact with, Sammi is the one that he has to get with? She's my best friend, and he's my brother. They should have told me. When I woke up the next morning I was getting ready when there was a knock on my door.

"Come in." I called and when the door opened Patrick stood on the other side. "Hi." I said and he made his way into my room.

"Hey Jack." He said with a sad smile. "On a scale of 1-10, how much do you hate Sammi and I?" He asked.

"I don't hate either of you. I'm just surprised, and a little upset." I said and I sat down next to him on my bed.

"We totally understand that, but we didn't do this to hurt you Jack." Pat said and he took my hand. "It just kinda happened, and I really like her."

"Why didn't you tell me that when you first started to feel something for her?" I asked.

"She didn't want to tell you because she thought you'd hate her. She was so scared to tell you that she had feelings for me, and I didn't want to push her into telling you." Pat said.

"It's just so weird. We've been best friends since we were 7." I said.

"I know. It was weird for me at first too, but once I realized that I actually really liked her I got over it." Pat said.

"When did this start exactly?" I asked.

"It was during the fall session last year. Things were really tense because you were still working through the knee injury and I went to go watch you practice and Sammi was there. We ended up having a really good time together. And than one night when we were having a movie night you were passed out, and it was dark, you made us watch a romantic movie, she was using my shoulder as a pillow. I don't know how it happened but I looked into her eyes, and before I could think we were kissing and I was hooked." He said with a smile on his face.

"You really like her don't you?" I asked and his eyes locked with mine.

"I really do Jack." He said and I sighed.

"This is going to be so weird." I said and he pulled me into a huge which caused me to scream. A moment later my door was being thrown open and mom and dad were standing there. "Sorry." I said and they laughed.

"I'm assuming you two made up." Mom said and I smiled and nodded.

"Wait, you know?" Patrick asked.

"We talked last night, and I expect you to be smart Patrick." Mom said and I immediately regretted telling her about them.

"What do you…." Patrick started than looked at me. "You told her that?" He said.

"I wasn't thinking. I was upset." I said and Patrick shook his head.

"I promise mom, I will be smart." Pat said and mom and dad nodded and left my room. "You should talk to Sammi, she think you're going to dump her as a BFF." He said and I laughed.

"I'll talk to her during lunch." I said and Pat nodded. He stood up and kissed my cheek before leaving my room. I finished getting ready and went to my workout.

When lunch rolled around I was walking around looking for Sammi when I spotted her by the shed putting her snowboard away. I walked over and went into the shed and pulled the door closed. She looked up and when she saw it was me she gave me a sad smiled. "I don't hate you."

"I'm really sorry." She said.

"I could never hate you Sammi, it's just, he's my brother, and you're my best friend." I said.

"I know that, and honestly I didn't look at him as anything other than you twin until the night we kissed." She explained. "He was just super nice to me, and when he kissed me something flipped and I just couldn't get enough of him."

"Eww, I don't think I want to hear about how much you get off from kissing my brother." I said and she laughed.

"I would never do this just to hurt you Jack. You're my best friend, and you mean so much to me." She said.

"Can you at least promise me something?" I asked and I saw her smile.

"Of course. Anything." She said.

"Please don't make out in front of me. I don't think I'm mentally prepared to witness that." I said and she ran over and hugged me.

"We can control our impulses Jack. We do it all the time around you." She said and I faked gagged. "Thank you. Your approval means a lot to me."

"I mean, I can't make you break up, and I do want you guys to be happy. If you can tame Pat, than I'm all for it, but I just also don't want either of you to get hurt."

"I know, but we like each other, and we have fun together." She said and I rolled my eyes. We walked out of the shed and into the dining hall, I found Pat sitting at a table with a bunch of buddies and Sammi and I walked over and sat with him. I smiled at him and he knew that we had worked it out. Sammi sat next to him and he gave her a quick kiss before turning back to the conversation with his friends. Maybe it wouldn't be so weird, but it will definitely take some getting sued too.

Time Jump – End Of Summer Session

Clary POV:

The summer session was almost at the end and I was exhausted. Running this place was a huge responsibility and I was grateful that I had Jace's help on the administrative side during this time since there were no boarders. We also got to spend more time together and that was always a plus for me. It was nearing midnight and I was finishing up some paperwork when I heard a frantic pounding on the front door. I had no idea what was happening, maybe one of the skaters was in trouble so I ran and when I opened it Sammi was standing there with tear stained cheeks holding a single duffle bag.

"Sammi, what are you doing here?" I asked as she walked inside.

"I had nowhere else to go." She said while she continued to cry.

"Sammi, how did you get here?" I asked.

"I took a train." She said.

"Dublin is a 7 hour train ride from here." I said and she cried a little harder. I pulled her into a hug and I heard footsteps and saw the rest of the family, minus Karin enter the living room area.

"What's going on?" Jacqueline asked. "Why are you here Sammi?"

"I didn't have anywhere else to go, and I couldn't stay at home. My mom, she tired…" Sammi couldn't finish as her body convulsed from crying. I guided her to the couch and sat her down.

"Jace, go make her some tea." I said and he nodded and went into the kitchen. "Sammi, you need to tell me what's wrong."

"Please don't hate me." She barely got out.

"Sammi, if you're in trouble we can help, and I'm sure your parents will too."

"No they won't. I left because they wanted me to do something that I didn't want to do. They tricked me and I ran. I grabbed whatever I could and I ran. I can't go back." She said. Patrick made his way over to her and when he put his hand on her back she flinched away.

"Sammi." He said but she moved away from him. I looked and him and silently told him to move away from her. He got up and made his way back over to Jacqueline.

"Samantha, I can't do anything until you tell me what's going on." I said.

"I was hanging out with my friend from home about a week ago, and we were having lunch. I wasn't really hungry, but I was starving at the same time, and when I ate I just threw it up 10 minutes later. I didn't feel sick, and I didn't have a fever, or anything that resembled a sickness so I just let it go. But that night I woke up and just started throwing up all over the place and I couldn't stop." She said and I knew immediately what she was trying to say.

"Samantha, are you pregnant?" I asked and she started to cry even more. I pulled her into a hug and just let her get it out of her system. After a few minutes she started calming down again.

"I took a couple test after that night and they were all positive. My mom found one and completely freaked out. She tried to drag me to an abortion clinic, and when I refused she told me that we needed to go to the doctor anyway to have me looked at and I agreed to that. But instead of taking me she took me to that abortion clinic and I knew I couldn't stay."

"Sammi, am I safe to assume that Patrick is the father?" I asked and she simply nodded. I looked over at Patrick and Jacqueline and Patrick was in shock. His eyes were wide and his jaw was slightly lowered, and he wasn't moving an inch. When Jace came back out he handed the tea to Sammi and I stood up. "Jacqueline, take Sammi up to your room, your father and I need to have a talk with Patrick." Jacqueline nodded and her and Sammi left and went upstairs. When I heard her door close I looked back at Patrick.

"What's going on?" Jace finally asked.

"Sammi is pregnant, and our son is the father." I said and Jace's eyes widened. "Are you ever going to speak again Patrick?"

"She's pregnant?" He finally said and he sat down on the couch and put his head in his hands.

"Patrick, I told you to be safe." I said and he looked at us with tears in his eyes.

"We were. I promise you. I wouldn't be that risky." He said and I truly believed what he was telling me. "I just ruined her life mom." He said and I sat next to him and put my arm around him.

"Oh Patrick."

"She wanted to go to the Olympics. She was training so hard. I ruined that for her. I ruined her dreams." He said and Jace kneeled in front of us and took his hands.

"You two got yourselves into an incredibly stupid situation, but did you see her tonight? She was hysterical because her own mother wanted her to abort that baby. The minute she knew she was pregnant, I guarantee her dreams changed." Jace said and I smiled at him.

"How do you know?" Patrick asked.

"Because your mom and I have been through it before." Jace said.

"The minute I found out about you and Jacqueline I knew that our family was my new dream. I wanted it more than anything. She is already super protective of that child, I could see it in her eyes." I said.

"I'm having a baby." Patrick said.

"Yes you are, and I guarantee that Sammi is going to need you throughout this. She's scared, and she's alone." Jace said.

"I'm so sorry you guys." Patrick said.

"I'm not going to lie. I'm disappointed in you Patrick, and I am so upset that you even put yourself in that kind of situation, but nothing can be done now. She's pregnant, and you're the father."

"What do I do? She flinched away from me tonight." Patrick asked.

"She's terrified Patrick, and she was probably scared because she didn't know how you'd react." I said. "For right now, you need to go up there and tell her that you're going to be there for her, and that you aren't going to let her go through this alone."

"Thanks guys." He said and he stood up. He gave me a quick kiss on the cheek before leaving to go upstairs. Jace joined me on the couch and I curled up into his side.

"Our son is going to be a father." I said and I felt Jace nod.

"Yes he is." Jace said.

"I am so upset with him." I said and Jace traced circles on my arm.

"So am I, but he knew the consequences of having sex, we told him to be smart and safe, and we did what we could. This is all one Patrick and Samantha. We just need to be there for them and show them that they aren't alone. Seeing Samantha that upset because of her parents broke my heart. I can't imagine doing that if this happened to Jack." Jace said and I looked at him.

"I love you. You truly are the best father and husband I could ever ask for." I said and he pressed his lips to mine.

"I love you too." He said. We stayed there for a couple more minutes until Jace lifted me off the couch and carried me to our room. Tonight had been interesting, and when her parents find out where she went I could only imagine that ended horribly, but for right now Jace and I were going to take care of Patrick and Samantha, because that's what they need, and that's what our grandchild needs.
