Until Forever is Over
Chapter 2 – Second Thoughts...
Jack held Z as they lay in bed together.
"Do you still love them?" he asked, tracing the outline of her necked body covered with their blankets. She removed her head from his chest, removing her gaze from his finger to his eyes.
"Who?" she asked curiously.
"Syd... and Bridge," he slowly pried from his vocal box.
"God, Jack! She exclaimed, sitting up, pulling the covers with her.
"Z, I'm serious," he said, pulling her back in his arms only to have her push him away.
"Yes! Yes, I love them! I love them so much! I can't be without them!" she shouted. "Is that what you wanted to hear?" She smoothed a stray hair behind her ear.
"Is that one of those mood swing, thingy-mah-bobbers you told me about? Oh my god! Are you pregnant?" he gasped in panic. She shook her head no, starting cry.
"I'm never gonna be Daniel's mother," she sobbed. Jack pulled Z into his arms, starting to comfort her.
"Hey We had a great time with Kat and DC, huh?" he asked, wiping the last of her tears. She nodded, giving him a half smiled. "Didn't know how loose they could be." Z laughed at the memory of a very drunk Kat and a hardly sober Abnius.
Jack touched foreheads with his girlfriend, "I love you, Elizabeth."
"I l.. lo... love you too, Jack," Z said hesitantly, snuggling back into his grasp before going back to sleep, but Z couldn't sleep. She was too confused.
