2 Months LaterPaige cried as she stared at the positive pregnancy test. She didn't cry because she was sad she was going to have a baby, she was upset that the baby didn't belong to her husband. She didn't need a DNA test, she knew it was Spinner's. She hadn't slept with Jay since Michael had been born.
Paige just sat there in the dry bathtub, knees drawn up to her chest, crying. This was the only place she could get some privacy. If she stayed in her bedroom Jay could come in, and she did not want to be questioned by Jay.
The doorbell rang. Paige sighed and slowly got out of the bathtub. She rested her hands on the sink and looked into the mirror. Her hair was in knots, her eyes were puffy and red, and her cheeks were tear stained. She couldn't answer the door like this, she'd just let Jay do it.
Jay. Her husband, and a good one at that. He was terrific with the kids and good to her. He was the family's provider. All in all, he was one of the best husbands around, and she had cheated on him. Why? All because he had kissed some girl. Not just any girl, mind you. He had kissed Emma, his ex-girlfriend, mother of his twin daughters. Paige had always secretly been jealous of Emma. She was nice, smart, pretty, and cared about things other than herself. Everyone liked Emma.
Paige heard Jay answer the door. She could tell by his voice he was surprised and excited to see whoever it was at the door, but she couldn't hear the name he'd said. Then, she heard the voice of a woman. Not just any woman though, the voice belonged to her.
Ding-dong, the sound of the doorbell rang throughout the house. Jay was watching a rerun of Sesame Street before work with his daughter, Lauren. He was surprised when he didn't see Paige rushing past him, eager to see who was at the door.
Ding-dong, the doorbell sounded again. Jay removed Lauren from his lap, and went to get the door. He looked through the peephole, and jumped back and rubbed his eyes, thinking they must be deceiving him.
Jay undid the latch, and opened the door. "Emma!" Jay exclaimed. Emma nodded and stepped through the door, Anna and Chrissy at her heels.
"Hi Jay," said Emma. There was a loud bang, sounding like someone falling. Jay went to the source of the commotion, and knocked on the door.
"You okay?" he asked. Normally, he would have tacked on a "honey" but for the past couple of months they'd stopped calling each other by pet names. They'd really grown apart, not even kissing each other much anymore.
"I'm fine," Paige answered in a strained voice.
Jay walked into the living room and sat on the couch, motioning for Emma to do the same. Emma sat on the opposite side of the couch, remembering the last time they were so close together.
"So?" Jay asked.
"So," Emma reiterated.
There were about five minutes of awkward silence. Emma pretended she was very interested in a painting above the television, but Jay never took his eyes off of her. The girls had gone off to play with Lauren.
"Why'd you run away?" Jay asked, breaking the silence.
"Because I was pregnant and upset and I knew my parents and friends would be disappointed in me," Emma said, "even more so than when I got gonorrhea. Plus, I knew you didn't love me and would have wanted nothing to do with the baby."
"How were you so sure?" asked Jay.
"Jay do you even remember yourself in high school?" Emma asked, almost laughing. "You weren't fit to raise a child. And you didn't even love me!"
"So you hid the existence of my children from me for fifteen friggin years?" Jay asked, temper rising.
"Jay I was scared!" Emma said. "You have no idea what it's like to be pregnant with the child of a guy who didn't even love you!" They were both standing up by now, yelling at each other. Paige was watching, hidden in the shadows where they couldn't see her.
"Like you loved me!" Jay yelled.
"How would you know who I love?" Emma asked, holding back tears.
"The same way you knew," Jay replied his voice calmer.
Emma fell back onto the couch, crying. Jay went over to her, and that's when Paige emerged from the shadows.
"Kiss her again, why don't you?" Paige screeched. She actually did want him to kiss her, that would be a good reason for them to get divorced, and she'd never have to admit to Jay that she cheated on him.
"I wasn't gonna kiss her," Jay yelled, sick of her over reacting, "I know you're upset, but you're over reacting!"
Emma lifted her head from her hands, watching the fight that she had caused. She would never be able to live with herself if she broke up their marriage.
Emma walked through a spew of yelling and cuss words, to collect her daughters. "Come on girls, time to go."
"I don't want them to go," whined Lauren.
"Your mommy will make you an ice cream sundae when we leave," tempted Emma.
"No she won't," said Lauren, "she never made me one last time!"
"If you let us go now, we will get you and ice cream sundae next time we visit," promised Anna.
Lauren pondered this thought for a moment, then finally said, "Aright."
Emma, Anna, and Chrissy, slipped out the door unnoticed (Jay and Paige were still fighting) and made their way to the airport for the fourth time in two months. Their plane wouldn't be leaving for two hours though.
Paige suddenly heard the door close. "What was that?" she asked.
Jay looked around, "You made them leave," he snapped.
"So sorry I made your love leave," Paige said sarcastically.
Jay sighed and stalked off to the bathroom. Paige's attitude suddenly changed from angry to scared. "What're you doing?" she asked nervously.
"Is it a crime to go to the bathroom?" he asked.
"Yes, I don't want you to go to the bathroom, I want you to leave!" she snapped.
Jay just shook his head and closed the bathroom door. He walked to the toilet, but froze when he saw something out of the corner of his eye, a pregnancy test.
A/N Okay, I was going to make this the last chapter, but I wanted to leave it here. I hope you liked it. The next chapter will be the last though.
