Lady Jaye ran through the obstacle course easily, climbing over the 20-foot wall then jumping down the other side, crawling in the mud under the barbed wire, running through the tires. She kept up with all the others on the team like she always had. She reached the end of the course and walked out her muscles like everyone else. She looked up to see Flint coming towards her. "Hi," she said with a wonderful smile to the father of the child she carried within her.
"What the hell do you think you are doing!" Flint asked, his eyes blazed with anger towards her.
"What are you talking about?" Jaye was immediately on the defensive.
"You…" Flint pointed at her then towards the obstacle course. "This."
"PT. What the hell does it look like?"
"I'm going to go have a talk with Beach Head." Flint started to stalk off.
Jaye grabbed his arm. "What for?" Her eyes bore into his.
"You shouldn't be doing PT like this in your condition." Flint yanked his arm away.
Jaye grabbed him once again and moved around in front of him blocking his path. "Dashiel Faireborn! I'm pregnant not an invalid!"
"Which is why you shouldn't be doing this crap. You need to take it easy!"
"This will not hurt the baby! I already talked to Doc about it! You really think I would do anything to harm MY child!"
"This is my child too and I want to insure OUR child is healthy." Flint stared down at her.
Jaye's look of anger turned to hurt momentarily then back to extreme anger. "IF YOU DON'T TRUST ME TO DO WHAT IS RIGHT MAYBE WE SHOULD END THIS NOW!" She stomped off towards the woman's barracks.
"What are you talking about!" Flint yelled after her staying where he was standing.
"I'm leaving!" Jaye yelled back not even looking at him. "I can't take this anymore."
Flint was about to go after her but Duke stopped him. "Give her time. But most of all give her trust." With that he walked away.
LATER THAT NIGHT
Flint knocked on Jaye and Scarlett's door. Scarlett answered and glared at Flint. "What do you want?"
Flint held up a placating hand. "I'm just here to apologize."
Scarlett was about to tell him where to go when the disembodied voice of Jaye carried over to them. "It's alright Red, you can let him in."
Scarlett stood to the side. "Alright, I'll be in my room if you need anything Allie."
"Thanks Shana." Jaye said from her perch on the couch.
Scarlett walked into her room and shut the door as Flint walked over to the couch. He sat down next to the mother of his unborn child and looked at her. "I'm sorry."
"For what?" Jaye asked uninterestedly.
"For being an ass. I just want to make sure you and the baby are alright."
"And?"
Flint looked at her with sincerity written all over his face and he took her hand. "And I sometimes take it a little too far. Please forgive me."
Jaye went into his arms and let him hold her. "I do."
Flint kissed the top of her head. "I promise to try harder."
Jaye looked up at him. "I promise to slow down a little."
"Deal." The two of them went into Jaye's room and effectively made up.
