Sally got up the next morning feeling better than she had in quite a long time. The idea of being able to get out of bed and going somewhere just made her so happy. Jack was still fast asleep so she got up slowly and quietly. Feeling accomplished that she got up without waking Jack; Sally got her things gathered up and took a nice hot shower. Sally couldn't remember how long she was in the shower but the hot water soothed her aching muscles and bones. She got out slowly and put on her black robe and house slippers. She went out into the bedroom to see what she had to wear when she realized that Jack was still fast asleep in bed, which was not like him at all. She gently walked over to the bed and sat next to her sleeping husband.
"Jack?" She gently touched$ his back and felt that his bones were completely burning up. Sally slowly reached over all pulled her phone from the nightstand and dialed her brothers number.
It rang several times before his voice filled her ears.
"Hello?" Sally could hear him shift against whatever he was laying against.
"Hey Eddie it's me. Are you able to come over today something's wrong with Jack."
Sally heard a lot of commotion on the other end of the line.
"Yeah sis I can come over around noon." Who are you talking to babe? Sally distinctly heard those words come from someone that was near her brother.
"Thank you so much Eddie. Now tell me who that is at the house before I Have to run over there myself just to see who it is."
"He's just a friend sis." Sally knew he wasn't telling her the whole truth but she wasn't going to push this any further.
"Alright see you in a bit." Sally hung up and when turned her attention to her sick husband. He shifted under the blanket and slowly opened his eyes.
"Well good morning sunshine" Jack felt this throbbing in his head and he felt cold all over. He tried to sit up but he got sick to his stomach and decided to lie back down.
Sally gently tucked the covers around him. "How do you feel?"
"My head hurts and I'm cold all over." He just told the truth because there was no use in lying to Sally.
"Well you just rest " Sally got up and went into the kitchen zero following at her heals. She was normally clumsy to begin with but the closer she got to her due date the clumsier she became so Jack never really liked her moving about on her own but he was in bed sick so zero took it upon himself to make sure his mistress was safe.
Sally walked over to the calendar hanging on the wall right next to the door on the kitchen and lifted up the pages counting the weeks. She was officially six months pregnant. She looked at the little black circle around December 25. It already had Christmas printed on the calendar but right under that in Jacks beautiful hand righting was Sally's present due. She laughed at his little joke. When Sally told him the baby was due on Christmas this smile came across his face that she had never seen before. He was completely excited that his child would always have the sprit of Christmas.
She placed her hand on her stomach and smiled herself.
"You know your going to be worth all that I've gone threw and will have to go threw to get you here. And do you want to know why? It's because your daddy and I love you so much."
After eating a quick breakfast Sally began working on getting everything in the nursery. Jack and Edward had already painted it and put all the furniture in so sally was just putting the clothes she made and the toys as well.
As promised Edward showed up around noon. He took care of Jack who just had the flu. He gave him some medicine and he should be fine in a few days.
Sally had fixed lunch so they ate and talked and it wasn't until her brother reached for his glass of tea that she realized her had several stitches that were lose and some had come out completely.
"Edward your seems…" He looked embarrassed when he realized that his sister had noticed that he was falling apart.
"Well um you see…" Sally had already gotten out her needle and thread and had already begun to sew him up.
"Was he just a little to rough with you last night?" Sally had already been sewing up her brother for a good ten minutes now and was working on the stitching on his right shoulder.
Edward seemed embarrassed that she had figured out why he was falling apart.
"Don't feel bad or embarrassed" She smiled as she saw he was blushing. "Jack does the same thing to me all the time. Normal the next morning I always have to help him stitch me back up before he goes to work before I really fall apart."
He chuckled at the comments his sister made as she finished helping her brother. He left and Sally went up to the library and picked a book from the shelf and sat down in her favorite chair. The stories of king author were always her favorite. She opened the book and began reading aloud. They baby enjoyed being read to. Especially when jack read to him. She smiled and rubbed her stomach.
"Your just a daddy's boy aren't you?" They baby just curled up under her hand and didn't move the rest of the time she was reading.
"You want your daddy don't you?" Sally got up and placed the book away.
She went and checked to find Jack awake seeming to be waiting for her. She went and curled up to him and he gently raped his arms around her rubbing her stomach.
"He's missed you today." Jack smiled for the first time all day.
"I've missed you and mommy too. Daddy's sorry he's not feeling well."
Sally was touched on how much Jack truly loved her and this baby. Sally rolled over to where she was facing Jack and buried her face into his chest crying.
"What's wrong Sally are you okay?" Jack gently rubbed her back
"It's just I love you" Jack smiled and held her tight.
"I love you too and I always will" Sally looked up at him
"You're forgetting someone." Jack bent down and kissed her stomach
"And Daddy will always love you too"
Sally snuggled in tighter.
"You know he needs a name"
Jack thought this over. He wanted his son to have a name that wasn't normal and had a real meaning.
"Krystepher after your brother." Sally hugged Jack tight.
"Krystepher Blaine skelligton" Sally kissed Jack sweetly. "After the most two important man in my life. Not May people new Jacks middle name was Blaine but he was happy to share it with the sun he loved so much.
Author's notes: If you want to know where the Krystepher (Christopher) came from it's Edward's midde name and Blaine is from glee. Love the name and is my favorite charater right next to Kurt. Hope you enjoyed.
