What Are the Odds?
Skye looked at Jax, what she was about to tell him could shatter his
dreams. "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?"
When she spoke her voice as soft, barely above a whisper, "The baby might
belong to Stefan."
"Might?" Jax questioned
"It's a fifty-fifty chance Jax, I conceived around that time and there's no way to know for sure, not right yet anyway and if I do a prenatal test it
could put me at higher risk for losing this baby."
Jax met Skye's gaze, "And if the baby is Stefan's?"
Skye was trying her best not to cry but, the tears swelled up in her eyes, "I'll still love it, all I ever wanted was a child and now my dreams are so close to coming true. I want this baby so bad that I wouldn't care if it
belonged to Sonny Corinthos the mob boss."
"Is Sonny a possibility too?" Jax asked as if he were offended
"Don't be stupid Jax, I just really, really want this baby, more than anything in the whole world and I'm so afraid of losing you but it doesn't
compare to the fear of losing my child."
"Our child" Jax corrected her.
"You don't have to pretend with me Jax, I know that you hate me right now, maybe you never really loved me or maybe it's vanished in the last twenty minutes, but please don't act like you want anything to do with me rather this child is your's or not. I love you Jax and I knew deep down that we would never last, that I would do something to mess it up. I'm just sorry
that a child has to be in the mix."
Jax was shocked at what Skye was telling him, "But Skye I thought you were
truly happy."
"I was and I always am in the beginning, then something goes wrong and most always of my doings. This has happened before with Tom and Will and Ben and Max. I always come out the bad person, I've gotten used to it, its a fact of my life. When I have my baby I'll be able to love her unconditionally
and she'll love me back, that's all I've ever wanted Jax, pure love. No
strings, no compromises, no benefits, just love. I've had my share of affairs, broken hearts and misgivings but all that will change once she's
born, I'll be a new person."
"Skye, I know you've had a difficult life and I'm not going to make it any harder for you, I love you and if I would have never fought with you that night you....we wouldn't be in this situation right now, I'm just as much
to blame as you are."
"What are you saying Jax? That you want to forget everything and pretend it
never happened? I don't think I could do that, I mean what if the baby really is Stefan's, don't you think he should be entitled to see his child? I couldn't keep my child away from their father, look how I turned out."
"If the baby was Stefan's would you love me any less?"
"No, Jax the question is, if the baby is Stefan's will you love me any less? I've already given you a reason to not love me, I was unfaithful."
"Skye, I love you, I'm mad as hell right now, but that doesn't change the way I feel about you. If the baby does belong to Stefan, I'll feel as if
I've failed you."
"You wouldn't have failed me, I've failed you, I made a promise and I broke it, how can you ever trust me again?" Skye walked over to the french doors
and peered out into the rose garden.
"I've failed you because for the past months that we've been together, you never even had a pregnancy scare until three months ago and now it adds up because the paternity is up in the air. Can I ask just one thing from you
Skye?"
"Yes." Skye answered without turning around
"Could you not tell Stefan until we know for sure."
"You expect me to keep him in the dark, I have to let him know that there is a possibility. I can't not tell him for another six months, he has to be comfortable with the idea that he may have a child." Skye turned around to
face him from across the room.
"Skye, if you tell him, Helena will find out and she'll do anything to get
her heir."
Skye walked towards the couch, "Nikolas is the Cassadine heir."
"Yes but this baby is also entitled to the Cassadine fortune." Jax pointed
out.
"I'll pray for a girl then."
"Yes, but if it's a girl it would be Helena's first granddaughter."
"So what you're saying is that I'm screwed if the baby isn't a Jacks?"
"Exactly, that's why you shouldn't tell Stefan unless the baby really is
his."
"Jax, you're missing the point, I can't bring a child into the world
without telling him."
"Do you think the baby's his?"
"I don't know Jax."
"You just hope it is." Jax said dryly
"I never said that, but if you don't let me tell Stefan then Tracy's going to tell him for me. That will upset Helena she'll take me prisoner until I
give birth, if it is a Cassadine spawn then she'll kill me and take the
baby. If it's not she'll kill us both."
"You have quite an imagination Skye."
"Well, Helena is one of the most insane people I know."
"Really? Then you haven't met a little group called the Quartermaine
Family."
"Haha Jax, very funny, you said it yourself, Helena's not to be trusted."
"Yes, but you're taking it to extremes."
"Jax, I have to tell Stefan and if you can't understand that, then I sorry, I can handle this pregnancy by myself until the day of my child's birth."
"Skye, what are you saying?"
