"No, wait! I'm with child, Jack! You're child!"
Jack continued to walk towards the small boat. "I don't actually remember us having-"
"You were drunk!" she exclaimed.
"I'm pretty sure that I've never been that drunk…"
"Jack! Please! I'm not lying. Why won't you trust me?" Angelica was on the verge of tears, something that Angelica didn't do.
"Oh, yeah, 'cause you've never lied to me before," Jack said sarcastically.
"Jack!"
Angelica seized Jack's arm and spun him around. She lifted up her shirt and placed Jack's hand on her stomach.
Jack paused for a moment, looking cautiously down at where his hand laid on her belly. Then he smiled slightly, nervously, half-heartedly self-assuring. "I don't feel any-"
There it was. A small rolling, like a marble underneath a blanket. Jack withdrew his hand sharply, expanding and contracting his hands as he tried to sort out what he just felt.
Jack cocked his head to the side. "Are you sure that that's not just some kind of odd growth in there or…something?"
"No, Jack. That is your child."
Jack swallowed. "So… That would make me it's-eh- parentager?"
Angelica couldn't help but smile. "Yes."
Jack extended out his hand again, withdrew a bit, then pressed his hand firmly against her stomach again. For a moment, there was nothing. Then there it was again, except it didn't roll away, it stayed pressed up against his hand, as if it knew... Jack ran his tongue across his bottom lip.
"Er-"
Angelica raised one eyebrow and removed Jack's hand. "Let's make this work, eh, Jack? For the baby?"
"Um, yes…" Jack watched as Angelica walked away from him, bending slightly back to get a better view. He nodded.
"For the baby."
Might be a multi-chap… Might. Put it on your alert list just in case! Thanks for reading.
