Here is chapter 2 guys.
Please enjoy reading...
"I've been thinking…"
"Always a worry…."
"Shut up Jonny. I've been thinking that maybe what we are doing is a mistake…"
"WHAT!"
"No need for the over reaction, I appreciate being able to hear for work. What I meant was maybe us not being together is the wrong way to go about bringing our baby up."
"So what are you saying?"
"I don't know Jonny, I'm not exactly an expert on these kinds of situations".
I can tell she is beginning to lose patience so I put our drinks on the bedside table and I gather her into my arms just like the time in the locker room.
"Just talk to me Jac, tell me what's going on in your head."
"The baby was moving and I was on my own. It was scary but amazing at the same time and I didn't know what to do. I was jolted awake and then I looked over onto the other side of the bed and it was empty. All I could think about was you. How you was missing out on so much because I'm too stupid to see what's staring me in the face".
"And that is..."
"I can have the perfect family if I wanted to. A baby,a whatever you are, keep my job, and be happiest I've ever been. I just... I don't... You have to help me."
"So if this your way of asking us to move in together."
"I still refuse to move into this shoe box of a flat."
"I was thinking..."
"Always a worry..."
"I was thinking we make a fresh start."
"With a baby. Normal people usually have a fresh start before this stage."
"I know Jac just listen. You are 20 weeks pregnant and how about we sell both our places and get a house. One with the picket fences, and a dog and just leave our negative past behind and just focus on the future with our baby."
"A fresh start".
"The three of us."
"I need some sleep, some of us actually want to be awake enough to do work".
"Jac."
"Can I think about it Jonny? It's not a no."
"So it's a maybe."
"Maybe. Now shut up so me and your offspring can sleep."
I make sure the alarm is set with enough time for Jac to put her face on and then I turn the bedside lamp off. Settling with her in my arms is heaven and I wish she would accept my proposition. I am dozing when I feel her body jolt.
"Jonny. Jonny"
"What is it Jac?"
She takes my hand and places it under her shirt and onto her blossoming pregnant bump.
"What am I..."
It kicked, I just felt my child kick. I know I must have an enormous smile on my face but I cannot help it. I look up at Jac to see tears in her eyes, and an equal smile on her face. It still doesn't seem real that we are having a baby together, someone that will rely so heavily on us but it will be worth it. I lean over and place a gentle kiss on her lips.
"I love you."
She gives me a smile in return and I know that everything will be okay. We will do this together.
Please review and let me know your thoughts...
