Over the next month Jack spent more time with Kerry than Sam. He had been taking early flights back to Washington to be with her for every ultra sound and check-up, taking her out for meals, and left poor Sam hanging. He even didn't come home one weekend and Sam was livid with him, but he never stopped long enough to notice.
Jack had promised Sam he would be home in time for her ultra sound, but it collided with Kerry's, so as he was already in Washington he decided to stay and go to Kerry's He tried to make it back for Sam's but didn't, and he was going to have a nasty surprise when he got home.
When Jack pulled into the driveway on a nice Friday afternoon he quickly noticed that all of his belongings were lying on the front lawn with Sam standing in the middle of them with a stern look on her face.
"Wha... What ya' doing Sam? I hate to have to tell you this but all of this is meant to go inside the house, not outside" Jack tried to joke but knew that he wasn't going to win.
"I'm kicking you out. I'm going to make you realize what you have done. What's your excuse this time? Well?" that was all Sam could say before she broke down falling to the ground in tears, Sam rarely showed her emotions so openly, jack knew something must really be wrong Jack ran over and wrapped his arms around her.
"Baby, what's wrong?" Jack moved a stand of hair from her eyes so he could see her face.
"That's just it Jack…. It's the baby… your never here for me. Am I going to be a single mother? Your always with Kerry…. if you want to be with her just say so. Tell me now, so I can try to deal with it." Sam moved so that she could look up at him, waiting for an answer.
"Of course I want to be with you! And only you, Kerry's just finding things hard on her own and I was just helping out as much as I could. I'm sorry I have been such an insensitive jerk its just after Charlie…I never thought it would happen again, and now for it to happen twice, its just over whelming." Jack stood, pulling her up with him and holding her close.
"I'm sorry, I just wish you could be there for me as well" Sam kissed his neck.
"Let's go inside and talk, okay?" Jack dragged her inside and sat her on the couch.
After hours of talking, Jack stood on the front lawn picking his clothes up and putting them into his truck Sam had kicked him out, again, after another massive argument and he knew it was his fault.
Things might have been worked out if he hadn't said 'Kerry needs me more than you do, your stronger than her' after that all Sam did was scream, cry and throw things at his head. He knew about the mood swings and all but it was as if she was out to kill him!
So now what was he going to do? He looked up and could see Sam standing in the living room sobbing to someone on the phone. He felt like crap, how could he do this to her?
After he had put all of the clothes he could fit into his truck, he made his way back into the house to say goodbye. He went up to her, he could see her temper had gone down but she was still a little shaky.
"I do love you, you know?" he kissed her passionately, and she responded in a good way, there's hope yet he thought.
"I know, and I love you too, but we need a break if we are going to make it work. I have an appointment at two fifteen on Tuesday, be there?" she said as she stroked his hand.
With that he left.
