[A/N] Again, why do I do this to myself...? T^T

Emo Valley Girl
[Name] was up crying… Again…
Why…? Jean thought.
They were only just out of high school! She shouldn't be in this state in the first place… Why was he doing this again…?
"Jean." Marco had said to his best friend, "I'm not going to make it out of this one." He looked him dead in the eye, "But, [Name] and I have a little secret." He smiled, "She's pregnant." He whispered, smiling even bigger.
"Yeah, what about it?" Jean replied, "You didn't seem to want to tell me before."
"I want you to look after her and our child." He said weakly, "That's what I want."
Jean looked at him, astonished, "Wh-what…?" Jean shook as he thought about it. He was in love with this girl, and she's having another man's baby, and-
"You know, she loves you as more than a friend." Marco said, "She wanted you to ask her out, too. She told me that when I asked her out. She just told me there was a man that would always be her first love, and that it was you. If I was Ok with that, then she would go out with me."
Jean just stood there, again. Wanting to believe, but at the same time, he knew how much it had to hurt him to hear that she had loved him all along.
"Ok…" Jean replied.
He had said that just about two days before his death. He had been in an accident. He was driving safely, but this dumbass drunk driver swerved into him. Drunkard made it out alive and well. Marco… He hadn't.
"Dammit…" Jean said, walking into the room [Name] was in. Their bedroom.
She swore he hated her for going out with Marco. But this baby needed a father.
"[Name]…" Jean said softly, "What's wrong…?"
"I'm due today, and Marco isn't even here to see his own child be born." She sniffed, "Do you hate me, Jean…?" She looked at him.
"No! I… I love you, [Name]… I always have. I always will." He pulled her into his chest, and pet her [H/l] [h/c] back.
"Will you love this child as your own…?" She asked in a small weak voice.
"…" Jean thought a minute, "Yes, [Name], of course. I'm their father now." He smiled at her.
Her [e/c] eyes got a look of pain in them, "[Name], are you alright…?"
"No!" She yelled, "My water broke!" Jean went wide eyed, and got her to the hospital.
After a gruesome 7 hours of active labor, 4 of which involved pushing, she heard a cry.
"Congratulations, Mrs. Kirschtein. It's a boy." They handed him to her.
I'll love you forever. Was heard in her head, and she knew it was Marco's voice, and our son. Well, I guess he's your and Jean's son now. Just be happy, and I'll always be here.
[Name] cried, and held her son, who looked exactly like Marco, down to the freckles, "His name is Marco. Marco Jean Kirschtein." She cried, looking in his brown eyes, that already held the same optimistic gleam that Marco's did.
"I… I like it, [Name], can I hold him…?" He asked.
"Of course, he's your son, too." She giggled.
[Name] You did great. He's beautiful. Once he's old enough, tell him about me, but until then, let him bond with Jean. Maybe he'll have siblings, too, one day. Who knows. The voice chuckled, Say, why don't you and Jean give little Marco a baby sister. I always wanted sister so I could be the protective older brother.
At that moment, she felt his lips upon her forehead, and cried, and after receiving Marco back, clung onto him, "I love you so much." She buried her face onto his little head, not enough pressure to hurt, but she cuddled him, and cherished him.
Jean smiled, and started thinking, Y'know Marco, if you can hear me, thank you. For forgiving me for my childishness, and for letting me be the father to this little boy. I think I'll talk her into having another. Give him some one to play with. He smirked.
Marco, up in heaven, watched down, and smiled at the family rejoicing on their new addition. He sighed, and vowed to be his son's, [Name]'s, and Jean's guardian angel.
Howdy! I'm Emo Valley Girl, um... If you want to Review this that'd be great. Constructive criticism is ALWAYS welcome. No flames please, and... Uh, if you want me to continue this, just tell me, yeah?
Also, I'm going to be adding some harvest moon stuff, and Free! Iwatobi Swim Club stuffs, so look forward to that.
