Chapter 2- Telling the Parents  

It was month after the revelation that Joe and Kayley decided to tell their parents.  They were terrified.  To tell them, they had waited until one of the Hardys’ annual barbecues.  The majority of people there were friends and would find out anyway. Joe knew that he had to tell his parents, while Kayley told hers.  

“Mum, Dad, could I talk to you a sec?” Joe asked cautiously.  

“Sure, son, what’s wrong?” Fenton asked, He could tell Joe was nervous and…his train of thought was cut by a sudden shout from across the garden.  

“I’LL KILL HIM…WHERE IS THE LITTLE…” Mr Knight trailed of as he spotted Joe and made a beeline for him. Fenton, seeing something was wrong, jumped in and said calmly “Calvin…what’s going on?”  

“Your son has gone and gotten my daughter pregnant…that’s what’s wrong!!” Calvin Knight was furious, if it wasn’t for Fenton standing in front of Joe, he’d have mopped the floor with him.  

Fenton turned to Joe with raised eyebrows, “Son…is he right?”  

“I…Yeah, I was just going to tell you.” Joe said as he looked at Kayley. Her eyes where shadowed with fear and shock, but she looked straight at him.  

“Joe,” Laura said “I…I’m shocked, but honey, you look terrified…Kayley come over here.” Laura smiled at her.  

Finally, Kayley couldn’t take it, she ran straight into Joe’s arms and sobbed, and Fenton dragged Calvin off, to have a talk…man-to-Man.  

“It’s okay, Kay…shh…it’ll be alright” Joe murmured as Laura handed Kayley a glass of water and leaned over and hugged her as well.  

“How far gone are you?” a voice piped up. It was Callie.  

Kayley looked up and smiled shakily. “About three months.”  

Callie grinned and joined the big hug, as everyone else piled on as well. “That means we’d be due around the same time.” Callie laughed as she hugged. Lately, being pregnant with twins had made Callie’s mood swings just a little bit more intense and not even Frank knew when the mood swings would strike.  

Laughing, Kayley just leaned into Joe and smiled. “I’m glad at least one of our families is supporting us.”  

“Yeah, me too.” Joe smiled.  

At that moment Fenton and Calvin returned and Fenton wrapped both in a hug. “It’s gonna be alright, you know,” he whispered.  

“We know.” Kayley smiled as she returned the hug.

“Joe…you okay?” Frank asked as he put an arm about Joe’s shoulders a few hours later.  

“Yeah…I think so I mean…I’m gonna be a dad…me a dad.  Does that sound weird to you?”  

“Very, but that’s because I’m your brother,” Frank smiled. “And anyway, I could ask you the same question.”  

“Not really, I mean, I guess I always knew one day the word ‘dad’ would be associated with you, but never with me, not for a long time anyway.” Joe said as he looked at Kayley who was talking to Fenton and Laura.  

“Yeah, I guess it is easier for you because you’re younger.” Frank smiled.  

“Not by much, brother.” Joe said.  

Laughing with Frank was something Joe didn’t realise he would have none of by the end of the week, he knew that his parents were in shock, but he also knew that they would be fully supportive.  

When Joe had approached Fenton about two weeks ago telling him that while he still did like investigative work, he wasn’t sure that was the career path for him, he felt that he was suited to helping people in a different way, he had put it in such a way that Fenton had smiled and hugged him.  

Joe entered his father’s office, he was prepared for a tongue lashing of disappointment and anger for what he was about to tell his father.  

“Dad?” Joe asked “Can I talk to you?”  

“Sure Joe, What’s wrong?”  

“I…I still like detective work dad, I just, don’t feel it’s the right career path for me…I want to help people, I just don’t know if by solving the case is what I want to do, I feel like I want to cure the victims and make them better, by being a doctor, psychologist or even a CSI worker, I just don’t want to be a detective.” Joe finished, bracing himself for the onslaught. He was shocked when his father smiled and laughed slightly.  

“Joe, no matter what you decide to do with you career, I will always be proud of you, if you want to go to medical school, or another form of a career, heck you could open your own business in something if you want, but I’ll always be here for you and be proud of you. Now have you talked to Frank about this?” Fenton asked.  

“No…I don’t know how to tell him. He’s wanted to be a private investigator from the beginning and I’m not gonna stop him.”  

Laughing, Fenton looked at Joe and the two smiled at each other.  

Smiling, Joe looked at Frank and said, “There’s one thing I hope for.”  

“What’s that?”  

“I hope, I can be at least half the dad that our dad has been to us.”
