Beep.
"Yes Johnathan?"
"Avery is here to see you"
"send her in" briefly just for a moment, Jack was worried that Liz had called Avery and told her that he kissed her, then he realized that Liz didn't have her phone number and relief washed over him as
his doors opened. All of the sudden he was in shock Avery stood before him beautiful of course but next to her there was a boy on either side. Their hair was blond like Avery's and it was obvious she was their mother.
"I'm sorry Jack, I didn't want you to find out this way, but I've been pregnant before"
"Really?" Jack joked trying to relieve some of the tension he was feeling.
"I'm sorry I really should have told you, but they are never around I swear, my ex husband, who is suppose to take care of them just got sick and is in the hospital"
"mommy" The taller of the little boys pulled on Avery's pant leg, she ignored him until he pulled harder almost knocking her down.
"What is it, mommy's busy" Avery looked at him with an evil glare. He backed away.
"Mommy" he said frightened. "I haven't eaten since yesterday. It was late in the afternoon so that wasn't a good thing.
"You will just have to wait a little more."Jack narrowed his eyes in disgust, and shook his head.
"Avery"
"It's okay Jack"
"Avery" He tried again this time she turned. "Avery do you even know how to take care of children?"
"How hard can it be"
"For one thing you feed them"
"Jack" She tried to get him to stop talking.
"No Avery listen, we need to talk"
"Yes" She agreed. "we do." Then he nodded.
"I'm calling Liz"
Liz was sitting in her office, clenching and unclenching her fists, the events of that morning were still replaying in her mind and the more she thought the more she was angry. Then her phone ran.
"Yes"
"It's Jack"
"Jack I don't want to talk to you"
"It's not about us it not about me, it's about Avery"concern about the pregnancy welled up inside of her.
"What is it did she loose it is it okay?"
"What? No the baby is fine, no Avery has two children, there her's"
"that's rough"
"She doesn't know how to take care of them and I thought, you want a child, this could be your chance to"
"I'm not stealing her children"
"That's not what I was saying, if you could just listen Lemon, for practice for when you have children..."
"ahh I get it your trying to pass off getting these kids off of your hands onto me as a favor..to me?"
"Yes"
"Even though your logic is flawed I love children so yes I will do it"
"Ahh Liz thank you so much"
"Jack, I'm still pissed at you"
"yes, yes I know I'm sorry Liz I'm sorry, Lemon I promise I'll make it up to you"
"No you won't Jack, don't lie."
"I don't break promises Lemon"
"yeah you do, I'm coming up I'll be right there, tell Avery not to worry, I'll take good care of them"
"Thanks again"
"yeah whatever" Liz hung up even more infuriated at Jack then before.
