A Thousand Stars in the Skye
Skye took a deep breath, trying to remain calm and not go hysterical getting her point across, "I really feel as if I need male support throughout this whole ordeal but if you can't act like a man, then I'll turn to someone else."
Jax was also frustrated, "Skye, this is ridiculous, why can't we just move on."
"Because the paternity of my child rests on my mistakes. I'm not Carly, I will not keep my child away from his father, it will only hurt him in the end."
"Skye, you can tell Stefan if the baby is his, but I honestly don't think you should until we know for sure."
"You keep saying that Jax, but you don't understand, I'm trying my best to correct my mistakes and two wrongs don't make a right. I want to move forward but the only way I can is by telling the truth. I never meant for any of this to happen, I never meant to hurt you. But now it's not about which one of us gets hurt, it's about the well being of a child and that to me means more than anything."
Skye walked past Jax and over to the telephone, she opened the address book and searched for the number before quickly dialing.
"Skye, don't so this." Jax pleaded
"You left me no other choice." Skye waited for an answer.
"Hello, Nikolas Cassadine." came the voice from the other end of the phone.
"Nikolas, this is Skye Quartermaine, is Stefan in?"
"He's in a meeting at the moment, would you me to have him call you back."
"No, that's alright, do you know how long it will last?"
"Probably another hour. Is everything okay?"
"There's something I need to talk to him about and I'd rather do it in person."
"Sounds important, why don't you just come over to the island in about an hour."
"Are you sure it won't cause any inconvenience?"
"None at all, he'll be happy to see you."
"Thanks, Nikolas."
Skye hung up the phone, and headed for the doors.
"Skye, where are you going?"
She turned to face him, "To meet Stefan, he and I have something to discuss and I'm more than sure he'll act like an adult about the whole situation."
Jax knew that once Skye made her mind up that there was no turning back, he knew that nothing he said or did would stop her. She was a woman on a mission and nothing would stand in her way.
Skye arrived on Spoon Island and was escorted into the living room where she was assured Stefan would be there in only a matter of minutes. She had been there only long enough to sit down when Stefan entered and then shut the doors behind him.
Skye rose at his presence, Stefan walked towards her, admiring her beauty, "Skye, my dear, I heard that you needed to see me and for what I can tell it must be urgent, otherwise you still wouldn't be in your wedding gown and I must say you look beautiful."
"Thank you. I'm here because I have something to tell you."
"Fair enough."
"I think you might want to sit down for this." Stefan was a bit confused but none the less did just what she said while she remained standing.
"Today I was getting ready for my wedding and I kept telling myself that I was doing the right thing, but something was holding me back. About a month ago when my grandfather had a stroke it was revealed that I had a contract with him against Jax and when Jax found out he was pissed and said that we were through, then I hit my head and was unconscious and when I woke I found out that I had fell because I was pregnant. Jax said that he loved me and wished he could take back everything that he said. And today as I was getting ready, the only thing I could think about was how that night that we shared together and how you very well could be the father of my unborn child. Jax said that I shouldn't have come here and that I shouldn't tell you unless the baby is in fact yours."
Stefan was silent for a few seconds, then he reached up and took Skye by the hand and gently pulled her down to a sitting position beside him, "Skye, you were right in coming here. You did the right thing. If the child is mine, I intend to be not only a part of it's life, but yours as well."
"Stefan, I'm so sorry, I don't mean to cause any trouble for you or for the Cassadine's."
"You're not causing any trouble."
"There's no way to know for sure who the baby belongs to until after he or she's born, they could do the testing through an amino, but there's a very high chance I'll miscarry without taking other risks."
"I understand and I want you to know that I'm here for you every step of the way, anything you need you've got it."
"Thank you, you've been very understanding."
A few months had passed by and Skye was now beginning to show signs of the new life she carried inside of her. Today she was going to have her first ultrasound to determine the sex of the baby.
Skye laid on the examination table, anxiously awaiting Dr. Meadows. Stefan was seated beside her. He was becoming the constant in her life and was there every step of the way, supportive and understanding. Not worried or not rather the baby was actually his.
She had called Jax, thinking that he might want to be here even though she had pushed him away that day, the day that was suppose to be their wedding day. She wasn't wrong in doing so, at least that's what she kept telling herself. She pushed him away because he was being selfish.
Doctor Meadow's entered the exam room and all of their previous thoughts vanished. "How are you feeling today Skye?"
"I feel alright, I guess, for being pregnant anyway."
"And Stefan?"
"I'm a little nervous, I've never done this before."
"And you think I have?" Skye joked.
Doctor Meadows smiled, "Maybe today the baby will cooperate and I'll be able to tell the sex."
Stefan took Skye's hand, giving it a squeeze, "That's what we were counting on."
"Okay then, let's get started." She turned on the ultrasound machine then turned and lifted Skye's gown, covering her stomach in the gel. She picked the censor up and placed it on her stomach, she gently moved it around, "Everything looks great, a healthy 20 week old fetus."
She moved the censor over Skye's belly button, trying to get a good view of the baby. "Well, today, you're in luck."
"Does that mean you can see what it is?" Stefan asked
"Yes, it's a boy." The Doctor announced as she wiped off Skye's stomach, "I'll print these pictures and you can take them home with you."
She left the examination room, wanting to give them some privacy. "A boy." Skye repeated.
"You were hoping for a boy, weren't you?"
"Yes." He leaned forward and gave her a kiss on her lips.
"I don't mean to sound selfish Skye, because I know that you love Jax and the two of you were planning to spend the rest of your lives together, but I want this baby to be mine, more than anything."
Skye was shocked by what he was saying, how could he be so understanding towards the whole ordeal and Jax be so unfair, he was always telling her to admit her mistakes and that's what she had done. Maybe Jax was right, she was a mistake.
