Chapter 23
Shout out to @yes_impossible for being the first to guess what happened and @lilly3682 for the name of Jasmines daughter. I messed up the timeline in the last chapter it's April not March so I'm going to go back and change that later. Sorry it's shorter than usual.

"Oh my, God. Oh my, God. Oh my, God. Oh. My. God." I feel like I'm about to hyperventilate after seeing the news.

How could they have found out about this is completely beyond me. I swiftly put Jake into his bouncer and continue talking to Adriana.

"I have no idea how they found out. I saw it and had to call you immediately." she says to me.

"Can they even do this? This is such and invasion of privacy; Lucas', Jakes and mine. How on earth did they even find out this much detail? Gosh some of it isn't even true! I was never an actual stripper, it was more of a contemplation."

"I would tell you if I knew. Do you think either of your parents have seen this yet? Or Lucas' for that matter?"

"God I hope not. If my mother finds out about this, through the gossip channels no less, instead of me. There might be a birth and a funeral. Oh God, Lucas' family is going to be so disappointed that we lied to them, everyone is going to be." I started to think of all the repercussions of doing this. I could feel my stress levels rising and I start to do some breathing exercises to try calm myself down.

As if sensing my distress Jake lets out a little coo, lifting his chubby little arms up. I pick him up and let him sit next to me on the couch, I change the channel to something Max & Ruby  because that was stressing me out to much.

"Adri, are you still there?"

"Yeah, is there anything you need?  Easter weekend is coming soon for the school year, I could fly down if you want me to?"

"Oh no, don't do that, really enjoy your break doing something fun. Not spending all your time with a pregnant lady who can only walk in intervals." I laugh a little.

"Well, that pregnant lady just so happens to be my best friend, and we can walk in intervals together. I'll see you soon." she says in a final tone and hangs up the phone.

"Stubborn git." I mutter.

I grab my phone and go to dial a number I now know by heart. "Hey, Jake guess what? Guess who I'm calling, guess who I'm calling. I'm calling your daddy. Yes I am, yes I am." I say in a baby voice as I rub our noses against each other, waiting for Lucas to pick up.

"Hello? Jess, is something wrong?"

"Lucas, it's really bad."

"Is it the twins? You? Jake? Do you need me to come home? I will if you need me too, you know what I'm just going to come now. Hold on I'm leaving now." I hear some rustling on his end of the line.

"No, no, no. Lucas are you listening to me? Can you hear me? Don't you dare leave work right now, Lucas we can talk when you get home, okay? I just called to let you know what's going on."

"Alright, tell me what's going on."

"Just, try to stay calm okay?"

"Now tell me."

And I did.

*Meanwhile in North Carolina* Third Person P.O.V.

Mary could tell something was off the moment she heard the frantic knocks on the door.

"I'm coming, I'm coming. This had better be important, I have book club in an hour." she says walking to the front door. Opening the door Mary smiles as she sees her daughter Jasmine.

"Hey mom." Jasmine gives a strained smile walking in the door with her four month old daughter, Liliana, sleeping in her carrier.

"Hello dear make yourself at home as usual. Not that I don't love you coming by but why are you here shouldn't you be picking the boys up from school?"

"I was going to but Michael said he would pick them up and spend some time with them. Take them to an arcade or something." Jasmine walks into the living room and sits down on the couch and puts the carrier down in front of her.

"Well that's very nice of him wanting to spend time with the boys." Mary sits down on the couch next to her daughter.

"Have you talked to Jessica lately mom?"

"Well, I spoke to her a few months ago but that was it. Why, has she said anything?"

"Not her exactly. Have you turned on the T.V. at all today?" she asks getting up to get herself something to drink from the kitchen.

"No, I don't have much free time, but when I do it won't be spending it watching television. It's nice every once in a while though."

"I think now is a pretty good once in a while." Jasmine says coming back into the living room with a glass of orange juice. She finds the remote and turns on the T.V. to the right channel.

Mary sits and listens to this gossipmonger say these things about her daughter. Who even knows if any of this is true and who is this inside source they say they got this all from?

"Is this true? Do you know?"

"No, I'm not quite sure mom. I hope not." Jasmine tells her mom while rocking her barely awake daughter back to sleep after her bottle.

"I'm not quite sure what to do Jasmine."

"Well you said that you called her a while ago to see if she was coming down. Why don't we pay her a visit. It could be an Easter break vacation."

"I think that could work. Make it a nice vacation, visit Jessica and have a nice Eater dinner." Mary nods her head in agreement.

"Great, I'll call and make the arrangements then I'll get back to you." she says pick up the carrier and walking out the door.

Mary was excited to see her daughter, but for some reason she was dreading this trip.

Hello,  hello, hello.

How do you guys feel about this chapter and what has happened? Do you guys like third or first person better?

I honestly almost forgot that Jasmine was pregnant at the beginning of the book when Jessica first found out that she was pregnant. So yeah she gave birth and had a daughter.

There's a lot of things in this book that need to be fixed so they all line up and I will hopefully do that when the book is finished soon.

I'm also working on a few other books in my draft and I will tell you what they're about and maybe even let you guys choose which I publish first.

I was also thinking of doing a story about Lucas and Liz's sister Melissa who, if you forgot, moved to California to teach after a fight with her mom. Tell me what you think.

Have a merry day, afternoon, evening, and night.
