Chapter 17
Still no word from Jack. Nicole tried not to worry about her father,but it was just so hard. Usually he would tell them how long her was going to be gone. But this time he had walked out on them without saying a word. This isn't like him,she thought. What the hell could he be doing? But I need to listen to Will. I need to say here.
Most of the day she stayed home in bed. Her morning sickness was starting to get worse. Will took off work for a couple of weeks to be by her side. He wanted to make sure that nothing was going to happen,even though she wasn't going to have the child for another 4 months. He was just so happy.
That morning Will woke up before dawn. He looked over to his side and looked at his wife and soon-to-be mother. God she so beautiful,he thought. She's really strong to hang in there this long. He didn't want to wake her up early so he didn't kiss her on the stomach. He just stared at her,smiling. But then she started to wake up.
"Will?"she asked.
"You're up already?"
"You're breathing hard. What's wrong?"
He sighed and smiled. "Nothing."
She looked outside. "Sun's not even up yet."
"I'm sorry. You can go back to sleep."
"No. I need to get up."
"Are you sure?"
She smiled. "Will,I'm fine."
He smiled and kissed her. "I know. I need to stop worrying don't I?"
"Yes you do."
"I'm sorry. I can't help it."
"I know you can't."
"I love you too much,"he kissed her stomach.
"Any news from Jack?"
"No. You know he's going to come back."
She sighed. "I know."
"You really want him to be with you don't you?"
"Well,he is my father."
"I know. But I promised I would take care of you."
"Yes you did."
He crawled up and they embraced. "And I'm going to take care of you the rest of your life."

Will didn't work that day. He just couldn't. He was too worried about Nicole,plus he wanted to make sure that she didn't run off. She can't run off now,he thought. She's too close to having this child and I can't afford to lose her. Jack would kill me if I did that. I would have to regret that for the rest of my life.
He was starting to get worried about her too. Her morning sickness was starting to get worse. She was in so much pain that he couldn't leave. Jack,are you testing me or something,he thought. You really never left. You're watching me. I know it. You're testing me for something. If you're still here then why don't you just come back and tell us what the hell you're doing.
"Will?"asked Nicole
"Hmm?"
"Something wrong?"
"No. I'm fine. Why?"
"You haven't said a word since this morning."
"I've been thinking."
"About what?"
He shrugged. "Just stuff."
"Please tell me."
He sighed,smiling,and kissed her. "I guess I'm a little worried about Jack too."
"That's what I thought."
"I'm worried about you too."
"Don't be worried about me. I'm fine."
"I know. But I'm not going to leave you,"he kissed her stomach.
"I'm glad."
"So am I."
"Why would you be worried about Jack?"
"Well,he is my best friend you know."
"Yes I know."
"I have reasons to be worried about him too. Especially since I'm with his daughter."
"I see."
"Get some rest ok? You've been in too much pain lately."
She didn't want to argue. She put her hand back on her stomach and smiled. "It's still kicking."
"That's why I think you should rest."
"I have been."
"Well,I'm going to be gone for a while,"he kissed her.
"When are you coming back?"
"I'm only going to be gone for a little bit. Don't worry about me ok?"
She nodded. "Ok."
