About 7 weeks after that, the doctors said that the baby looked great and she should keep taking the medication and, of course bed rest but that she was doing everything right. During those 7 weeks, Kate meet Jack's sister Claire and her little boy, they got along right from the start and they conviced Jack to let Kate out of bed now and then when she came over.
"Jack, look at this" Kate said sitting up from the bed, she lifted her shirt over her belly button, making a bump motion with her hand over her skin
He laughed and nodded "You're actually starting to show a bit now"
She scrunched up her nose and looked at him, hands on her hips "What does that mean, Jack?"
He did a double take, and bit his lip smiling "I just mean that...well" He stopped thinking carefully about his next words "This is a trick question, isn't it?"
She rolled her eyes, "It's okay, I know, I look like a hippo" She sighed out, and they both laughed at her big exageration
He stood up and walked over to her, ticking her nose lightly with his finger "Well, a very cute hippo" he joked and she couldn't help but laugh a little
Later that day, Jack came into the bedroom with a box and some paper that was stuck on a hard covered book, Kate eyed him curiously
"What's that?" She asked
He sat down beside her on the bed, placing what he had in his hands in front of them, he looked over at her and said "You like to paint right?"
She nodded, laughing "You where really listneing that day"
"Of course I was" He smiled
She locked her eyes with his for a moment then spoke "So what's this for, we're going to paint"
He laughed and handed her some things, once they both had a paper they set the paint in the middle of them, a little while later Kate turned her page around, she told Jack that she painted herself, he laughed when he saw that her page had a purple hippo painted on it, he told her to hang on and let him paint his own picture now
He finished his and kept it from her, so he could explain it first "I thought i'd draw you too, what I see when I think about you"
He turned his page around and it was a flower, it was yellow and pink and in the picture it was in a field, all alone, nothing else around it, Kate smiled at Jack's painting talents, he had about as much as a kindergarden student, but she smiled up at him
"You see a flower?" She asked, confused
"I see a wildflower" He corrected her, "You're different Kate, and that's what makes you beautiful"
She knew that he probably just drew that to make her feel better, and it didn't mean anything but to her, that horribly panited little flower meant alot.
The next day, Jack had to go into work, he hated leaving Kate there alone but she insisted that she'd been fine, which he translated into her getting out of bed while he was gone
He had an early surgery that morning, and after a exhausting surgery, the patient lived and that always made it worth it in the end. He walked back to his office and when he opened the door, he had a visitor
"Mom, what are you doing here?" He asked
She smiled "I came to talk to you actaully, do you have time to talk?"
"Does dad know your here?" He felt the need to ask
She shook her head "This doesn;t concern your father Jack, it's about my relationship with you"
He sat down in front of his mother "Okay, what's on your mind?"
"The real question is what's on yours?, you looked like he wanted to tell us something when you came over that day" She explained, and Jack laughed bitterly "Well, Dad never really wanted to hear it" He asnwered
"I do" She replied with a shy smile "How are things with Kate?"
"They're good" He answered simply, then added "She's pregnant Mom, about 14 weeks now"
She looked surprised at first, but then she smiled and stood to give her son a warm hug "I'm happy for you" She whispered as she kissed his cheek
He smiled "You mean that?" he asked and she nodded
"Do you think I could come over for dinner one night, meet her?" She asked smiling
Jack sighed heavily "Of course" He said "I'd say invite Dad along, but he won't come, so I'll see you soon"
Margo wrapped her arms tightly around her son, "Thank you Mom" He told her, wrapping his own arms around her
That night when he got home, he told Kate about what happen with his mother that dad and about how succesful the surgery went and she pretending that she'd been in bed all day. He told her that he was going to make them some supper, but he came back up to the room with a basket in one hand and a shirt drapped over his shoulders
"What's all that?" She laughed
"I know that you hate staying in bed all day, so before I left the hospital today, I took the next two days off, Kate I'm officially suffering ned rest with you" He explained to her with a small smile
The smile on her face grew "What if I don't want to share my bed with you?" She asked, winking at him
"Well, then you don't get what's in the basket" He smiled, holding it up
She pushed over laughing "Okay, I guess you can come in, but you better not snore"
He laughed, climbing in the bed beside her, giving her the basket, which was full of food so they wouldn't have to get out of bed. They layed there talking about anything that came to their minds for a long while, Kate then put her hand on her stomach, looking over at Jack, as if feeling her eyes on him he turned his head to look at her
"What do you think it's doing right now?" Kate asked,
Jack thought about it, "Well it's still growing right now, it's not doing much of anything"
She smiled "What else?" She asked, she wanted to know everything about this baby, and she felt herself falling more in love with it everyday
"At this stage, the baby's toes and fingers are starting to seperate, and if you could look into your stomach right now, you'd probably see it opening and closing it's little fists" His said, his voice was dreamy like he couldn't belive that the baby he was talking about was his
They layed there together, Kate hanging onto to every word Jack said, and eventually thinking about what their baby was doing at this very moment, they drifted asleep.
Hit the Button.
