No Goodbyes
Chapter 11
4 months later...
Abi was now 5 months pregnant, although to her, it'd felt like longer. This is because William had told Abi that they can easily live on his wages as he was getting a pay rise, this meant Abi stayed home all day doing housework and watching boring talk shows, everyday she was extremely bored, except for when she had to go do a big food shop once a week or when she got to pick JJ up from school, although she didn't pick him up all the time, she had to share the responsibility with Jay. Abi hadn't talk to Jay in months, they had very brief phone calls about JJ but their phone calls never went further than talking about their son and their time share for him, this was mainly because if they'd start talking, William would always be around, he hardly ever let her out of his sights, even when he'd be at work he'd make sure that a member of his family, normally his sister Matilda, was checking up on her. When Jay had to pick up or drop JJ off, William made it his mission for Abi to never be around, he knew Abi still loved Jay and her didn't want her to spill their secret, William didn't want them communicating at all.
...
It was 2.30 on Friday afternoon, Matilda was round again having lunch and a cup of tea like she had been everyday since Abi stopped working and she was chatting about the baby to Abi. "So what are you going to call it!" She asked for the third time today.
"I already told you, I'm not sure yet." Abi said, annoyed at the fact she'd said this repeatedly to her. Though Abi did have a name in mind but decided to keep it to herself.
Matilda began slurping on her cup of tea and Abi remembered that she had to pick JJ up, she was over joyed, any excuse to get away from witch face she had to call her sister in law. "Oh!" Abi said pretending to Matilda that she was late. "I have to go pick JJ up, you know the way out of the door right?" Matilda looked confused but Abi swiped her keys from the kitchen counter and shuffled out of the kitchen as quick as she could seeing as though she was 5 months pregnant. "Bye!" Abi said before Matilda could even say a word.
Abi pulled up outside the school gates and got out of the car and leaned on it as she waited for JJ, she was 10 minutes early but she desperately needed to see her baby boy. She thought about him and smiled, JJ was like a breath of fresh air, he never had any worries or problems, he just rambled on about his Doctor Who and his Dad when he was with her. She liked it because it was like she could talk about Jay to him and he would be fine about it as he didn't know the adult issues, he didn't need to. Abi began giggling to herself slightly thinking about something JJ had told her about Jay, the vision of him stepping on JJ's figurine of David Tennant's Doctor and then falling after tripping on a TARDIS really made her tummy tickle, she knew how clumsy Jay could be at times, she just snapped out of that thought when she felt a hand press on her arm making her shudder briefly, she shot her eyes up and saw the man she loved.
"Abi? What are you doing here?" Jay asked her confused.
Abi just smiled and wrapped her arms around Jay's neck and pulled him in for a tight hug while resting her head on his shoulder. "I've missed you so much." Abi whispered in his ear before seeing all of the other parents look at her in disgust, she didn't care, they were all snobby idiots in her eyes just like her in-laws, but still she pulled away from the embrace afraid if any of them would tell William. That wouldn't be good.
"Yeah, I've missed you too." Jay said smiling awkwardly as he looked down at her swollen looking tummy. He knew that they shouldn't be together else William would go mad. "Why are you here?" Jay asked.
Abi didn't know why Jay wasn't more pleased but then she got back to reality and realised that they were both here, together. "It's my turn to pick JJ up?" She said to him.
Jay looked at her and shook his head before putting his hand in his coat pocket and getting out the timetable William had made stupidly to avoid a situation like this. He unfolded the piece of paper and pointed at the date, 28th of April, with Jay's name printed beside it. "See!" Jay boasted.
Abi didn't like it when he did this and now that she was very hormonal due to the baby, so she wasn't taking any of it. "What is your problem?! I came here to pick up my son and all you can do is boast! Do you know how lucky you are to actually see him! This is the most fun I have all my day and now you've just gone and ruined it. Thanks a lot!" She stated almost shouting before storming off down the road and away from the school.
Jay laughed slightly as he saw her waddle away as fast as she could holding her stomach, "Abi your car is here!" He called to her but she waddled on until she suddenly stopped, Jay stared at her from a far wondering what was going on then he saw her clench her stomach and heard her moan in pain. Worry soon painted Jay's face, he dropped William's stupid timetable onto the curb and ran toward where Abi was, when he got there she gripped Jay tightly and began crying, "It hurts Jay."
"Don't worry babe, it'll be okay." He tried to reassure her but he wasn't too sure what was happening himself. His thought was cut off by JJ running towards them shouting for his Mummy. Jay slowly began to lead Abi into the front seat of his car, she was rubbing her tummy and she'd grip it tightly when the pain would begin again. Jay felt helpless. He then put JJ into his booster seat in the back of his car and began to drive to the hospital. Looking to his left and into the rear view mirror he saw the two people he loved most in the world.
...
Jay had left JJ in the supervised play area while he went into the room with Abi to wait for the doctor's diagnosis, they were still waiting for the doctor, he still wasn't in the room and Abi was becoming very anxious. The pains had stopped now but Jay didn't know if that was a good sign or not. He believed that it wasn't his baby, but no matter what he still cared.
Abi was had no idea what was going on, "What if something happens Jay?" Abi asked him tears burning in her eyes.
"Eh, don't think like that, it'll be okay." Jay said not sure whether to believe himself. He could see that she wasn't believing it either so he draped his arm around her and she buried her head into his chest and began crying.
She lifted her head from him and looked into his eyes, "Jay, before we hear anything from the doctor I need to tell you something." Abi said sniffling back a tear, she was about to tell Jay everything, William's black mail, the threats and the fact the William is infertile so the baby that she's carrying is Jay's.
"You can tell me anything." He assured her before giving her a kiss on her forehead.
She looked towards him and smiled, "The baby, it's-"
She was cut off by the door swinging open and William paced in, the doctor's notes in his hand, he immediately paused as he looked up and saw the man he loathed have his hands on his wife once again. "Abi, what's going on?" William asked anger seething in his voice as Jay recoiled his arm from around Abi and sat in the chair next to the bed.
"Look William, it's not what you think." Jay said trying to protect Abi in case Will got angry.
"I wasn't talking to you." William said bluntly before looking at Abi and seeing the terror in her eyes. He looked back at Jay and said, "Your son is waiting for you."
Jay looked to Abi for reassurance and she nodded to him signalling him to go to JJ. He stood up and as he walked out of the room he hit into William's shoulder and whispering in his ear, "If you hurt her, I will kill you." William stifled a brief laugh feeling slightly intimidated as Jay carried on out of the room, he didn't trust William with Abi but in his eyes she'd chose him.
William dropped his head before strolling over to Abi bed and slumping on the end of it dropping the doctor notes on her lap. "Braxton Hicks."
"What's that?" Abi asked him, worry straining in her voice.
"It's nothing, just early stage contractions." He told her.
"Nothing? That was one of the most painful experiences ever?!" Abi moaned hoping William had forgot about earlier.
William just glared at her, "Yeah but I bet you got a bit of pain relief from lover boy."
Abi looked disappointed, "Don't be like that please baby, I love you and I wish that you were there instead of him." She said lying through her teeth, she just didn't want him to hit her again. Abi got up out of the bed, holding her stomach and walked over to where William was, she leant down to kiss him but he pushed her away.
"Don't be so disgusting. Do you really think that I would want to kiss you after seeing you and him together?" William said spitefully, Abi was in shock.
"Please." She begged quietly.
"No." William argued before stepping towards her and grasping her fore arms with intense strength, Abi squealed slightly, "Now, I'm going to give you one more chance, we are going to forget about this and move on like we always do, do you understand?" He asked her but she wasn't too sure what to say, "Do you understand?!" He repeated digging his fingers tightly into the flesh of her arms.
Abi nodded, she now had tears that had filled her eyes and were beginning to run down her face. Just at that moment there was a knock at the door, William stepped away from Abi just as JJ came running into the room, Jay following behind. "Sorry, he wanted to see if his Mummy was alright, he's been getting worried." Jay said before looking at Abi and JJ who were now embraced in a hug, he could see the pain in Abi's eyes. "Abi, are you OK?" Jay asked her, curious of what had happened after he left the room a few minutes previous.
Abi looked up at Jay and he could see the tears, "She's fine." William said to him.
"What have you done to her?" Jay asked William as he panicked for Abi's safety.
"She is not your responsibility." William told him in a tone so that Abi and JJ couldn't hear there conversation.
"Abi is the mother of my child and because of that I like to make sure that she's safe." Jay told him hushing his voice slightly.
"But is she though? The mother of your child I mean." William asked him smirking.
"What are you on about? Of course she is, that little boy over there is my son whether you like it or not." Jay said standing up to him.
"You're wrong, he's actually my son." William told Jay as a confused look painted Jay's face. "Well by law anyway. My name is on his birth certificate, he has my last name so in the eyes of the law, you're just some stranger who's kidnapped a child. So if I tell the police that my son has been taken, who do you reckon they'll believe?" William began to blackmail Jay just like he'd done to Abi months before.
"You wouldn't do that."Jay told him, not wanting to believe what he was hearing.
"You wanna bet?" William asked him, this tested Jay's patience.
"Abi, she'd tell the police that he's my son." He said to William, thinking that he'd found a flaw in his plan.
"Well, we both know that I have her wrapped around my little finger. She will do anything I tell her to. Anything!" William said giving Jay and evil grin.
Jay knew that William was completely right. Abi would do anything that William told him and he tried to change that but now it was too late, Jay couldn't lose JJ, no matter what. Jay looked up at the man he hated and nodded, "So, what do you want me to do?" Jay said.
William smiled, his plan had worked, "You take your son, you walk out of this hospital room and you never see her again. I will take care of the time share with JJ, Abi wont be involved any more, you and her can't be trusted. So go and leave Abi to be happy with me and our baby. You are just an unwanted distraction."
Jay didn't even look at William, he knew that if he did then he would become to angry and do something that would in some way hurt JJ. He walked over toward the Mother and Son who were deep in conversation and said, "Come on JJ, it's time to go." Jay said to JJ.
He could see the upset drape over his face, "But I want to stay with Mummy, I need to make sure she's all better."
"Your Mummy is all grown up now, I'm sure she can look after herself." He didn't look but in the corner of his eye he could see Abi frowning in confusion, JJ still hadn't moved, "Now." Jay told him sternly but not shouting.
JJ gave his Mummy a kiss and a hug before jumping down off of the hospital bed and walking towards the door, "Bye Mummy!" JJ said cheerily.
"Bye sweetheart." Abi said smiling towards her little boy, "Bye Jay." She added getting a sour look from William. Jay turned back to Abi he just looked at her for a while, admiring her before turning back around and walking out of the door ignoring Abi's goodbye as it slammed behind him, "No goodbyes." He said to himself as tear began to stream down his face landing on the solid hospital tiled floor...
