A/N: There is a bit of confusion on how Marie got pregnant. In one of my previous chapters, I added in an author's note that said No further details will be included because I'm anal and I didn't know how many of my reviewers didn't know the whole story, so sorry I didn't make that clearer! But yes, Jack is indeed the father!

I didn't know how to feel. I was going to have a baby. Jack ran a hand through his hair. He seemed to be thinking over his options.

"Oh shit." He finally said.

"Jack…I…I don't know what to do!" I nearly screamed.

He sat down and put a comforting arm around me.

"Hey, hey it's ok. Maybe this isn't such a bad thing."

I wiped a tear from my cheek and looked at him.

"It's not?"

"No. Think about it for a second. Now we are going to be expecting a child of our own to look after and sure it's a big responsibility but I'm not going anywhere. Sure we're not married, but marriage causes problems."

I nodded my head in agreement and ripped up the pregnancy slip.

"Now let's see what we can do about this ok?"

I wasn't sure what he meant, but I soon found out. Jack tried to get himself a job, which I found rather odd. But he insisted that we would keep the baby and get ourselves a home.

When he was about to give up, a man noticed his paintings and offered to buy them. Jack made sure this guy wasn't a crook before agreeing to sell.

From the moment forward Jack earned money for portraits he did and we soon bought a small house. It was nothing fancy, but it was something.

After four weeks I began to wonder if this was still a good idea. I could always give my baby up for adoption, and that's what haunted my every dream.

"Jack, are you sure this is a good idea? I mean, look what's happening to us." I asked him one day when he came back from the store.

"What do you mean?"

"You used to draw for the hell of it, or because of how you felt or saw somebody. Now you do it to earn money to provide for me and a baby. We could still be living outside, having a blast, but instead you're working your butt off." I vented.

"You're the most important thing to me, and this baby will be too. But if you're not comfortable with the changes, we can put this baby up for adoption."

I put my head in my hands and started to cry.

"I…I don't know what to do. This was all just so sudden." I sobbed.

"Listen, I don't care what we have to do. We will make this work ok?"

"Ok Jack. Ok."

A/N: Sorry this chapter was so short. I just wanted to get the emotions down before I decided to do anything else. Anyways again sorry about the issue! I have a bit of a writer's block, so it might take me a bit longer to update!

R&R!
