Stand Ups and One Night Stands
Everyone at the wedding was perfectly silent, it was obvious to everyone what happened, Skye had ran out on Jax and there was no apparent reason, not to them anyway. Sure there were idea's, Skye might have ran off with
another man or decided that she didn't really love Jax, but, no one was
sure.
Jax stood outside the church doors talking with Rae and Alan, but nothing they said could help him, he made up his mind that he had to find Skye, she
wouldn't just up and leave him without an explanation. Jax took off, he would check the lakehouse first, maybe she forgot something and went to get
it or maybe she was at the Quartermaine Mansion.
Jax arrived at the Quartermaine Mansion, he ran threw the front door almost
knocking Reginald down, "Have you seen Skye?"
Before he could answer Jax was opening the doors of the living room,
surprisingly he found Skye and Tracy arguing. He listened closely.
"Skye you would save us both some time of you just admit that you love
Stefan."
"I don't love Stefan, I have never loved him."
"Keep telling yourself that."
"I'm not the one that needs convincing, it's you, why can't you just believe that I love Jax? He's all I care about and I was going to spend the
rest of my life with him."
"I'm not stopping you from being with Jax, you brought this all own
yourself. Tell Jax the truth then see what he has to say."
Jax was confused by their conversation, he opened one of the living room doors and walked in. Tracy and Skye both noticed the noise and stopped dead
in their tracks.
"Jax" Skye exclaimed surprised.
"Skye, why are you here? Everyone's at the church waiting for you to walk
down the aisle."
Skye looked at Jax and then at Tracy who had a bright smile on her face, she shook her head and turned to face Jax, "I'm sorry, I can't marry you
Jax, it wouldn't be right."
Jax took Skye's hands in his, "Why wouldn't it? I love you and you love me and we're going to have a baby in six months, this is your fairy tale Skye,
we're going to live happily ever after."
"No, Jax, we're not, there's something I need to talk to you about."
Jax pushed back a lock of Skye's hair, "Anything, you know that."
Skye took a deep breath, "I slept with Stefan Cassadine."
Jax' eyes widened, but he kept hold of her hands, "When did this happen?"
Skye held her head down, starring at the floor, knowing that Tracy was enjoying every minute of what was going on, "About three and a half months
ago."
Jax dropped Skye's hands, "I can't believe this, why didn't you tell me
sooner?"
Skye's eyes were still glued to the floor, "Because I knew what would
happen, you'd leave me."
Jax took his hand and lifted Skye's chin, forcing her to look at him, tears
spilled down her cheeks, "Skye, I want you to tell me exactly what
happened."
"And Tracy, why do I feel like you had a hand in all of this?" Jax asked
"Me? I didn't do anything." Tracy exclaimed
Skye looked over at Tracy, "The hell you didn't, you were going to
blackmail me."
"Tracy, I think it would be best of you would just leave now."
Tracy let out a sigh of disappointment, then walked out the living room
doors. Jax went over and closed them behind her.
Skye stood perfectly still, knowing that she was in for it now. "You wanna
know the whole story?"
"All of it." Jax nodded, he took a seat on the sofa as Skye began.
"It was the night that you and I had that big fight over having children and about you not letting go of your precious Brenda. I left the lakehouse, I was mad, I was upset. I wanted a drink so bad, I was walking along the
docks, heading for Jake's. I thought that a dry martini would solve everything, for a little while anyway. I thought that I had lost you and I
wanted to numb the pain, the reality."
Skye let out a few sobs before continuing, "I ran into Stefan, we talked for a little while and then went back to Wyndemere. We were upstairs in his bedroom, he was trying to comfort me, I kissed him and he kissed me back. He pulled away and told me he didn't want to take advantage and I told him that he wasn't. Then after it was all over I went back home, I was packing
when you came into the bedroom, I was going to leave, I thought it was
over."
Skye's cheeks were swollen and stained red, tear after tear fell from her
eyes and ran down her cheeks leaving behind a streak of mascara. Jax
continued to watch her although he did nothing to comfort her, "Skye I didn't know about your accident and I wish you would have told me sooner
than you did."
"Why? So you could leave me in the beginning and spent your time finding a
woman who could bare you as many children as you want."
"Skye, I never said that, but you have to leave Brenda out of this."
"I can't Jax, I know you love her and that nobody can ever carry a torch to
her and that if she walked back into your life today you'd leave me and never turn back. She's your one and only true love, Jax. I can't compete
with that, I won't."
"Is that why you left the church? Is that why you walked out on our
wedding?"
"I walked out because I slept with Stefan and I knew that keeping from you would only make it worse, I was going to tell you I really was but then at
the engagement party Grandfather had a stroke and then you called me a mistake. Then we found out I as pregnant and everything seemed fine again.
Was it because you really love me or because I'm pregnant?"
Jax face flushed with anger, his voice grew louder. "Why are you making all
this seem like it's my fault? Is that the only thing you're good at?
Blaming other people when you mess up."
"Hey, I'm telling the truth here Jax, I love you, I really do and I love this baby although it may kill me to have it. I'm taking responsibility, I had sex with Stefan Cassadine and I'm ready to take on the consequences."
"And what would they be Skye? Lying to me? Losing me?" Jax turned his back
to Skye. They were both silent for several seconds.
"The thing that hurts me the most isn't losing you or your love but,
knowing that this baby might not even be yours."
Jax spun around to face Skye, "What?"
