Claire was sitting in the living room of her family's home. She was waiting for her boyfriend and his sister. Claire was rocking her son in the glider. Claire lived with her older sister and brother. They also had a nanny while Claire was at school and the other two were at work and college. Claire was 18 years old, she was a senior in high school. She has long brown hair and eyes. She was thin and active. Claire liked to dance, but had to stop when she was 5 months pregnant. Claire picked it up again once Jacob got a little older.

Claire had just gotten Jacob to sleep when the door bell rang. Chase offered to get it. The noise from the bell startled Jacob, but he did not wake up. Claire was happy about that. Jacob seemed to not be feeling well.

"Come on in Logan and Jordan. Claire is on the chair putting Jacob down. How are you by the way? Is Nick home yet?"

"Hey Chase, We are good. Our brother will be home in a few days. Until then give him a call."

"Thanks Jordan. I see that Logan can't wait to see Claire."

"It is not only for Clara but for Baby Jake. Claire said that he is not feeling well."

Chase closed the door after Jordan walked in. He turned to see Logan giving Claire a kiss and rubbing a sleeping Jacob's back. He was glad that Logan stayed with Claire through the whole pregnancy. Chase felt bad for his baby sister. She ha gone though so much. Chase was close with both his sisters, he loved them so much.

Claire and Logan went to put Jacob in the Nursery then to change so that they could head into the pool. Logan opened the door to Jacob's room. Claire walked into the room and placed Jacob into his crib and turned on the baby monitor. She then took the other one with her as she left the room. Once they got into Claire room, Claire went into her drawer and picked out one of her many bikinis and started to change into the bathing suit. Logan also changed into his swimsuit. He then went to the edge of Claire's bed and told her to sit down. He leaned over and kissed her, he tried to push her back to lay on the bed but she fought back and sat on her bed. That was until Logan got off the bed and forced her to lay down. He climbed on top of her and started to kiss her. She started to squirm until Logan grabbed her wrist and held them to the bed. He lowered himself to touch her skin with his. When he felt that he could let go of Claire's wrists so that he could take off their clothes.

Logan unhooked Claire's top and pulled it off of her then he pulled her bottoms off as well as his. He then seperated her legs and not caring if he was going to hurt her, he pushed himself inside of her. He started off hard and kept pushing himself hard in her. Deeper and deeper with each thrust. She tried to say so no and scream but every time she tired Logan would kiss her or cover her mouth with his hand.

This was not the first time he had done this. The first time was when he took her virginity and made her pregnant. Claire did not tell anyone this because she was scared. Once Logan got off of her, Claire put her clothes on and ran to Chase, She had tears in her eyes. Claire was also holding Jacob.

[Bella]

"Chase, I need to talk to you. Can we go to your room and close the door."

"Clara, come on lets go talk. Some thing is happening or happened. You are upset, you don't need to get Jakey upset too."

Chase took Jacob from Claire and they walked to his room. When they were in the room Chase closed the door and locked it. He placed Jacob in a bouncer.

"Sis, what has got you so upset?"

"Logan, he raped me and got me pregnant with Jacob. Then he did it again just now. Every time I tried to say no to him or scream, he would cover my mouth. I am so scared Chase, he hurt me. In more then one way. What did I do wrong to deserve this? I don't want him here. I don't want him near Jacob. Can I take him to court or to the police? He needs to be stopped."

"Oh wow Claire, I am so sorry I will help and support you no matter what. You did nothing wrong it was all him. I am going to call Kody, I will not leave the room or you right now."

Chase called Dakota and told her all that Claire had told him. Dakota called the police and told Chase to wait for them and once they took Logan, to bring Claire to the hospital to get check out.

"Please come in, Logan is right here officers."

"Thanks. Logan you are under arrest, you have the right to remain silent, what you say can and will be used against you in the court of law."

"What, Why?"

"Because you raped me and I am sick of you trying to do it to me. I want to help any girl that you have or will do that to."

"Logan I can not believe that you have done that to Clara. You hurt my best friend. Why? Claire I will stick by you though this. I am sorry that he has done this to you."

"Thanks Jordan. I hope that you are not mad at me. I just could not tell anyone. He made me feel like I did something wrong."

The police took Logan out of the house and took him down to the station. Chase took Claire down to the hospital, Jordan went along for emotional support. When they got to the the hospital, they went to find Dakota. Once they found her they all when to get her tested and examined. Kody and Jordan stayed with Claire the whole time. Chase stayed out in the living room with Jacob. It took about an hour to do the whole process.

[Bella]

" Well Claire, I hate to say this but Logan did rape you. Is there anything that you would like to do. I could give you a pill so that you don't become pregnant again."

"That's ok I am going to call the police and put some charges on Logan."

"Ok, you may go back to your brother and son."

"Thanks."

"You are welcome."

They walked out to meet Chase and a crying Jacob. Claire went to Jacob and picked him up. To her he felt warmer then normal. She motioned for Dakota and she came over.

"Claire I want to take Jacob to the ER. You and Jordan may stay with him. But he is not looking good. did he eat for you Claire?"

"Only a little bit. Nothing like he normally does."

Kody took Jacob from Claire. She took him into the ER, Claire and Jordan followed behind. Kody told the staff that were on duty who Jacob was and that Claire was his mother and that Jordan was his aunt. They took him into a room and started to take his temperature and to ask Claire questions. On his sheet it read that it came on quickly and that there were no signs of him being sick. He was not around anyone who was sick either. Other info on his sheet were his height, age, weight, temperature, and that he was a preemie.

After they were done in the ER, they moved Jacob to the NICU. They were going to keep him there until he was well. This was going to be hard on Claire since she was in school. She told Jordan that she was not going to be in school until the whole thing with Logan was taken care of. She did not want to be around him. Claire also needed and wanted to be with Jacob. Jordan told her that she would give the homework to Claire and hand it in for her. Jordan understood that Claire needed to do what was best for her and Jacob. Jordan did not want Claire to run her self down and end up in the hospital as well.

Kody said that she would bring Claire with her when she would work and that she would check in on her and Jacob every chance she got. Kody would also put in for more hours so that she could drive Claire home or keep an eye on Jacob when she works the night shift.

[Bella]

Kody's boss gave her the double shifts until Jacob got better. He was friends with the Smith Family and he happened to be in charge of their parents when they came into the hospital and ended up dieing. When the children found out Claire was only 16. He and his family helped the children stay together, he also told the judge that he would call the family every week to see how they were doing, and if they needed anything. This helped the judge with his decision to keep the children together. Kody was already working at the hospital when it all happened but she had the day off.

"Thank you Peter, I know you love the little guys as much as we do. I am glad that you are a family friend. Take part of his hospital stay out of my pay check when they come in."

"Dakota, I will not do that. We will set it up where you and your family does not have to pay. You can put the money to help your sister out in the Logan battle. it will be hard for her, why doesn't my one daughter come and talk to her. It will help Claire, trust me."

"Ok, that sounds good. What is her name? Are you sure about paying the bill?"

"Yes I am sure. Her name is Emma."

"Ok, I would like to meet Emma my self. How old is she?"

"She is 18 but she has been through so much in her years."

Peter called home and asked his wife to send Emma to the hospital. There was some one that she should talk too. He also said for Emma to bring her little one as well. It took Emma about an hour to get to the hospital, from when her father had called the house. When Emma got to the she went to find her father, she asked what he wanted. He brought her to a room and asked her to wait there. Peter went and got Kody and Claire.

"Hi my name is Dakota and this is my sister Claire."

"Hi, Claire and Dakota. My name is Emma."

"Claire, I am going to go back by Jordan for a little bit."

"Ok Kody."

Emma sat and talked to Claire once Dakota and Peter left. Emma told Claire that she was raped by her ex boyfriend more then one too. Emma also said that the first time she was raped she ended up pregnant with her daughter.

[Bella]

"She is so cute, how old is she? What is her name?"

"Thanks her name is Sydney and she is is 4 years old. I hear that you have a little one. What is his name?"

"My son's name is Jacob and he is 8 months old. Would you like to meet him?"

Jordan then told Claire how Jacob was doing. He was hanging in there. When she looked at Jacob all she could see were wires and tubes hooked up to his small frail body they were also going out of his bed. They had a clear plastic cover over the area where he was on the bed. There were 4 holes where family could stick their hands in.

Any one that walked into the NICU has to put on plastic scrubs, a face mask (it only covered the nose and mouth), and they had to wash their hands with a special soap. If it were friends of the family they would have to wear the gloves. After getting all suited up Clare then told Emma about Logan and how he raped her. The first time she ended up with Jacob. Then the second time was earlyier that day. Claire also told Emma about Jacob, his personality, his life and how he was a preemie.

"The name Logan, I think I know of him.How long did you two date?"

"A little over 8 months."

"Just wondering, do you have a picture of him?"

"Yea, hold on."

Claire put her hand into her pocket and pulled out her wallet.She showed the picture to Emma. Emma's face dropped.

"Emma what is wrong?"

"This is the guy who raped me. He told me that he loved me. When I told him that I was pregnant with his child he up and left me. After the baby was born he came back and raped me again. That's when I told my father."

"Did he threaten you, or keep quiet so that no one could hear you scream?"

"Yea, he did both. Claire I am sorry that he did all that to you as well."

"It's ok, are you going to help me in Court with him? We should let Sydney and Jacob grow up together, after all they are brother and sister."

"Yes, I will help you. I think that it is a great Idea for Jacob and Sydney."

They both looked at Jordan who had a smile on her face. Not only did she have a nephew but she also had a niece. She asked Emma if she could see Sydney. Emma said yes and the two of them left the NICU to go find Peter and Sydney. When they found him; Emma told him that they same person who raped her, had raped Claire as well. She told him that Sydney's little brother was Jacob.

[Bella]

"This is Jordan, daddy. She is Logan's 'The Rapist' sister. She is also the aunt of Jacob and Sydney. Jordan is Claire's best friend/ sister, she is going to help Claire and me in court against her twin brother."

"Nice to meet you Jordan. I am glad that you are going to help out my daughter and Claire. They are lucky to have you around. So are Sydney and Jacob."

"Thanks , doctor may I talk to you privately?"

"Yea Emma, Jordan and I will be right back."

"Ok dad."

They walked into the staff lounge and took a seat at the table. Jordan looked nervous, she did not know how to tell Peter about what had happened to her.

"Jordan what would you like to talk about?"

"Well it is about my brother and father. My father has been raping me since I was little, Logan just started. The last person to rape me was my father and I missed my period. Is there a way that you could do a pregnancy test?

"Sure, want the results as soon as possible?"

"Yea, today if you can."

"I will try."

"Thanks."

"You are welcome, just stay right here and I will get the test."

"Ok, Cane you get Emma in here, so that I can talk to her."

"Sure."

Peter went and got Emma. He brought her to the room that jordan was in. Peter then left to get the test. Jordan then told Emma what happened and the reason that she could not tell Claire.

"Jordan you need to tell Claire. She will be supportive."

"I just don't want her mad at me"

"She will not be mad at you. It was not your fault."

Emma then left to get Claire. When they got back to the room Jordan told Claire that she was also raped by Logan but also by her father.

"Claire I am sorry that I did not tell you sooner."

"Jordan it is ok. I understand, you are going to be staying at my house with Chase nearby. Nick is alreading spending his time there any way."

"Are you sure it will be ok Claire?"

"Yes I am."

Peter then came back into the room with the test. The way it looked Jordan told Claire and Emma what had happened. he asked Jordan if she wanted Claire and Emma in the room, she said yes. Jordan did know what she could or would do wihtout her best friend around. It was getting closer to visiting time to be over. Jordan was about to hear the results of her test. To all their joy Jordan's test came back normal, which meant that her father did not get her pregnant.

[Bella]

The next few days Claire was at the hospital every day making sure Jacob was ok. It was the last last day of the week and Jacob was ready to go home. Claire was just finishing up Jacob's buttons on his jacket when Emma and two guys came into the room.

"Are you ready Claire? By the way I would like you to meet my boyfriend Cameron and his older brother Corbin. Both of them know about you. They will support us. I hope that you don't mind that they came with me."

"Almost ready, just waiting for Jacob's paper work. Emma I don't mind. Hi, Cameron and Corbin"

"Hi Claire. Is this jacob? He is so cute?"

"Yea this is little Jakey. Thanks Corbin."

"Anytime for a sweet and cute girl like you."

That made Claire smile and blush. Corbin liked thee way she looked and thought that she was very smart. He could just eat her actions right up. He wanted to date her but only when she was ready. It was about three months since Jacob first went into the hospital, Claire and Corbin were going out. The court hearing for the Logan Case was about to go on. Claire had pulled her self out of school for the rest of her senior year. Corbin supported her in what she did. He also started to fall in love with Jacob.

[Bella]

It was a nice night out when Claire and Corbin went out on a date, this was a double date one. Jacob and Sydney came along. The group went out to a restaurant and were in the middle of eating when Logan, some of his friend and his new girlfriend came to the table.

"Hey there,what is this?"

"Logan get a way from here, you have done enough trouble at this table. Emma and I can not wait for tomorrow when we are taking you down in court."

"Why is Logan going to court Claire?"

"Because he raped me and Emma, not just us but his own twin sister"

"Oh Logan how could you do that to those girls?"

"I know that you don't know me but could I talk to you girls privately?"

"Sure, Corbin could you and Cameron watch the children?"

"Yes we can."

Claire and Emma got up and walked with the girl to a quiet area far from the boys but they were they could see them. The girl told them that Logan was a good guy and that they needed to stop with all the parts of him raping them. Claire and Emma listened, but when Claire saw Logan trying to pick up Jacob and touch Sydney she went back to the table.

"Logan you are not going to touch those children. I know that they are your blood but me and Emma are fighting for full custody of them."

[Bella]

Logan and his crew then left and Claire and Emma got back to their dates and dinner. It scared all of them when Logan came to the table. They talked about it. Claire called her house and told them about it. The group left after they were done. They all went back to Claire's house. They were staying there the night. In Dakota's room was Kody, her boyfriend, and if in the middle of the night a bed for one of the children. It was Chase and Nickolas in Chase's room. Sydney and Jacob in the nursery. Claire, Jordan, and Emma in Claire's room. And in the guest bedroom was Cameron and Corbin.

When Jordan told Nickolas what happened he told her to stay with the Smith's. Even after the court hearing just in case their father and brother got mad, they would just take it out on her. Since their mother died and Jordan was the only girl in the house. Nick and Chase would move all her things to the Smith house as well as all of Nick's things.

It was the day of the court hearing and every one was getting ready. Kody, her boyfriend, Chase and Nickolas were the first to be ready and they got the children ready. The boys then went to get Cameron and Corbin up while Kody went to wake up the girls. Lets just say that the girls got up easier and got dressed faster. It was and hour before the hearing when everyone was dressed and had eaten. The made it down to the court house with 10 minutes until the hearing began.

Once they hearing began the judge listened to the girls and all they had to say. It took an hour for ever one to speak. A half hour later they were back in the court room waiting to hear the verdict. The judge then came back into the room.

"I am giving the girls full custody of the children. I have daughters of my own and I am scared that they will go through what you went though. With that said Logan I am placing a restaining order on you, you can not be any where near the children or the girls. You also have to do 3 months in jail then a year in probation and have to take a class to help you. As for you Mr Willam, I am putting you in Jail for life, for sexually assulting your daughter when she was a minor. Jordan you and you brother Nick are to live with the Smith's. With the watch full eye of the Evan's still on that family. Your are dismissed."

With that every one left and the girls had a smile on their faces and happy that they won the battle with Logan and for Jordan her father as well. They got some of their freedom back. That was all they wanted.
