"You're...w...what?" Jack asked in disbelief.
"I'm married, but I'm getting divorced." Janet said quickly. "It will be final in March." "May I ask what happened between the two of you?" Jack ventured cautiously, not wanting to upset her.
"Well, I found out that I'm pregnant and David doesn't want the baby, so he said it was him or the baby, and I chose the baby." Janet sighed. It was really the first time she had been honest about the whole thing.
"That bastard!" Jack said angrily, clinching his fist. He didn't like the thought of Janet being pregnant and alone. "I know we just met, but I really like you and I don't like the thought of you living alone..." He gulped. "Anyway, I have an extra room in my apartment that you could have all to yourself, no funny stuff, I promise." He smiled and squeezed her hand.
Janet looked thoughtful. She hated the idea of living alone, and even though she & Jack had just met, she felt so comfortable with him. She smiled. "I'd like that, if you're sure you'd want to have me." She said softly.
"I really do, you & the baby." He said honestly. "Is it a girl or a boy?" He asked as he looked intently at her pregnant belly. "It's a girl." She said as she patted her stomach fondly. "She's due in March." "That gives us just enough time to get ready." He said with a smile. "Us?" She asked in disbelief. "You mean, you still want to be a part of my life when I have my baby"
"Of course I do Janet! I want you and the baby, I love you both." He admitted as he blushed. She blushed too. She was so grateful to him for wanting both her and her unborn daughter, she just couldn't believe it. -
Jack drove Janet back to her house so that she could pick up her things and then went back to the apartment. He took her inside and led her to the spare bedroom. "This is it." He said softly. He couldn't help but stare at her, she was so beautiful, simply glowing. He smiled. He wanted to hold her and kiss her, but he held back. He needed to wait til the time was right.
Janet put her sheets on her new bed and turned to smile at Jack. "Thanks. I'll never forget this." She said softly.
"If you need anything, let me know." He offered. "Goodnight Janet"
"Good night Jack." She smiled and closed the door as he left the room.
