Ch. 26 Fixing Broken Glass
Two weeks later, it was a big day for Erin and Peter. Their son came home. Erin was so happy she called everyone. Her mother was coming to New York to see her new grandchild. Peter was going to start summer classes soon. He decided to do online school for now, and took his job back at the Company. Peter and I did something that we haven't done for a long time, we went out to eat, just us.
"So, how has the pregnancy thing been going" Peter asked smirking. I gave him a not funny look. I not only felt pregnant right now but I felt pregnant.
"Good, how is the new parent thing going" I responding. We were waiting for our burgers. I use to come to this restaurant all the time when they we were younger. It always felt weird coming back her without Nathan, like were always waiting for someone that would never come.
"Excellent, Nathan is such a good sleeper." Peter said smiling proudly.
"Noah was like that as well, we had a little trouble getting to sleep but Gabriel always managed to" I said thoughtfully.
"What did he do?" Peter asked thoughtfully.
"Just laid down on the couch and put him on his chest" I told him. Peter smiled. It looked like he took a mental note to try it.
"I miss him too" Peter said reading my thoughts. I sighed we hadn't really talked about it much and this conversation had the potential to be uncomfortable.
"It's hard to live life without him. You both were practically inseparable." I said him sadly. The waitress brought our Hamburgers. I was surprised the smell didn't repulse me.
"He would have loved to see who you ended up with. He would have thought it would have been a huge laugh. I remember him joking he was going to be your maid of honor" Peter chuckled.
"He was such a dork" I smiled.
"He used to have a huge crush on you" Peter said smirking. I looked at him, surprised he remembered that. I remembered that day Nathan told me about his feelings. I was really nice about it, when I turned him down.
"I remember" I said smiling. Then I began to wonder if Nathan would have been offended that I married Gabriel. I supposed it didn't matter now, things were different. Worrying what a long dead man feelings seemed very ludicrous. However, I wanted nothing more than for Nathan to be here with us.
"We should get back, don't want you husband to worry" Peter said mockingly. I knew that Peter really didn't care and would do it just to piss Gabriel off.
There were flowers everywhere. It was like that scene in the Wizard of Oz, when Dorothy went through the Field of Poppy's.
"Jade, where did you get these" I asked incredulously.
"Christian" She said simply.
"I see" I said. That explained a lot. Some guys would go to the extremes when they severely messed up with their wives.
"He can't see it through his thick head that it's over" Jade said furiously.
"Have you told him this" I asked. She looked at me as if I had lost my mind.
"Of course not, why should I. He must have figured out that it's over by now" Jade told me in disbelief.
"That's true but you need to tell him this, otherwise he is going to feel like there is hope" I told her.
"I don't want to have the conversation with him" She admitted.
"Why not?" I asked.
"I don't know, I guess I'm not ready" Jade said shrugged. I looked at her sternly. She knows it's wasn't fair to leave people hanging like that. She also knew how much I hated it when anyone did that
"You know that's not fair regardless what the situation is. You have to talk to him, especially if you're going to divorce him" I said sternly. My sister needed to own up to what was happening and face it.
"Part of it is my fault; we hadn't had sex for months. I was always yelling at him, and wasn't home enough…" She babbled on. I silenced her.
"No one deserves to be cheated on, but you need closure in this. I don't know what you're so unsure about, normally you would have done something by now" I said.
"Maybe I don't want to be like that anymore" Jade said irritated.
"Just talk to him, you'll feel better if you do" I said firmly. She sighed knowing I made complete sense and it annoyed her. She walked away; I knew she was going to call Christian.
It was 8 o'clock at night, and I still was at the Company. I needed to get some extra work done. I didn't usually stay at work late. It seemed lately there were more finds and more specials we had to deal with. I looked down at the clock in dismay. I would always yell at Gabriel when he worked like this. As if he knew I was thinking of him, he called.
"I was just thinking about you" I said smirking.
"Who else would you be?" Gabriel said with the note of arrogance he was famous for.
"Oh my bad, I thought you were that sexy pizza delivery man" I said smirking. He scoffed.
"Oh yeah" He said challenging.
"Yeah, were planning on running off together" I told him confidently.
"Oh how will I ever move on" He said chuckling.
"Is Noah asleep?" I asked.
"Yeah just put him down" He said.
"I'll be home soon" I said.
"Ok, call when you're way" He said.
"Ok, love you" I said.
"Love you" He said. I decided to do a little. I was deep in thought. I was at least 5 months now and needed to think about names. In a few weeks we would know what the sex of the baby was. I was so happy that I was out of the morning sickness phase. I looked pregnant. I placed my hand stomach and smiled to myself. I decided it was time to go home. I walked out of my office. As I turned the corner I heard a light squeak, I turned around to see a shadowy figure. I started to run. I heard a crack then nothing.
