Chapter 2- Doctors Visit

Jaklin watched her daddy sleep and wandered when he would wake up. She was bored and wanted something to do. She looked around to see if there was something she could play with but there was nothing. She was still laying on her back. Maybe, just maybe if she could roll over on to her belly she might see something. She used Jak's arm and pulled herself on to her belly.

("Well that didn't help much,") she said as she looked around. She started to grab handfuls of the sheets so she could turn around. Some how she ended up against the head bored so that her laying on her back again and her rear end in daddy's face. Even though her goal was to find something to do she did succeed in waking up daddy.

"Jakie what are you doing?" he asked the baby as he moved his head so he could get some fresh air. He wasn't expecting her to wake up for a few more hours. What time was it any ways? Jak rolled over and looked at the clock. Then rolled back over and looked at Jakie with a glair. Never in is life that he can remember has he ever been up at the ass crack of dawn!

"back to bed," he said but she just laughed at him.

("I'm not going back to sleep any time soon,") she babbled at him. His comm. Decided that it wanted to go off telling him that some one was calling him. He lazily rolled over and grabbed it.

"yeah?" he asked tiredly.

"Daxie, sweetie, you owe me some orbs," came Tess's oh so cheery voice. Of course all you could hear was Daxter's hysterical laughter in the back round.

"I was just calling to see how things were going and how the night went, by the way the precursor have changed the time on when they are going to meet us and if you were going to take Jaklin to the Hospital for that paternity test you should do it soon you only have five hours," Tess said.

"every thing was fine until I had a diapered ass in my face, at the ass crack of dawn," Jak said as he glared at Jaklin who in Jak's mind mastered the art of looking cute and innocent. Tess said she had to go help Daxter with Dez. Jak finally decided it was time to get up.

It had been one rough night for Jak, Jaklin didn't sleep threw out the night, twice she needed to be changed and once again to eat. The last three times he figure was due to nightmares. he sat on the edge of his bed putting a diaper on Jaklin. As of right now he was losing the diaper battle because a little baby wouldn't quit rolling this way or that way.

It must have been something she discovered today because last night she wasn't doing it. Or it could be that she always knew how to do it she just never had the chance to do it. Either way he woke that morning up to a diapered butt in his face.

His head was still spinning with questions that needed answers. He was tired as hell and he had four hours before he had to appear at the conference. It was most definitely going to be a surprise when he tells them that he either A.) has a baby or B.) adopted a baby.

He picked Jaklin up and carried her out to the living room and put her in the car seat. He hadn't fully gotten her dress yet. It was only the twentieth of March the date suddenly made him wander when Jakie's birthday was. He looked at her for a moment but she had her eyes closed, he knew that she wasn't asleep though.

"Stay out of trouble for a few so I can get dressed." he said, he knew that she wasn't old enough to move much so he didn't have much to worry about but that didn't stop him from hurriedly get dressed to get back to her. Jak came back into the room with a coat and put it on her. He frowned though when he noticed that no where were there shoes for her feet.

"You don't have any shoes," Jak said to himself as she smiled at him again making him smile as well. Finally he decided to wrap her feet with some cloth and hope that it would keep her little feet warm until he could buy her some shoes to wear.

Jak ran his fingers threw his hair, it was shorter than he liked it but everyone said that it looked good so he didn't bother with it. He was not wearing his normal clothes that you would find him in for once. He was wearing a pair of old blue jeans and a faded blue shirt with a pair of black sneakers. He contemplated whether or not he should wear a hat but when he put it on Jaklin started to make noises that told him she didn't like it. He rolled his eyes and took it off and grabbed his jacket and put it on.

He was glad that he had called Tess last night she had given him a lot of helpful tips on what to do. He threw the blanket over the car seat wile picking it up. He grabbed his keys and left the small apartment. He walked to the sand shark but realized that it was with Keira.

"Looks like we're walking," he said to her. The hole time they were walking she made noises at him. Jak's arm started to get tired and the bus station was right there, so he decided to take the bus the rest of the way. Even on the buss she made noises. A lady sitting next to him had smiled at him.

"What is she telling you?" she asked Jak.

"Hmm?" he asked not quite getting what she was talking about.

"The baby, what is she telling you, she's been talking the whole time," the lady laughed making the tips of Jak's ears turn pink.

"She's telling me about the bus, and what kind of noises it makes," he said to the lady with a shy smile. He looked down at the car seat to make sure she was still covered. Luckily they had just stopped at the corner that he needed and got up and said goodbye to the lady. That's when he noticed that while the lady had been talking she hadn't made a single noise. He put the car seat up on a newspaper dispenser and looked in, thankfully she was asleep.

He walked into the hospital. He hated it, the sterile smell and the same colored walls made him feel uneasy. He waited in line to talk to the receptionist which too almost twenty minutes. He finally got signed in and was waiting to get called back. Wile he was waiting he had slipped his hand under the blanked and was rubbing her cheek softly, that is until her little hand grabbed at his finger. He played with her hand until she stuck his finger in her mouth and gummed him. For not having teeth it still hurt when she bit down harder.

"Eversong?" called a nurse. Jak got up and proceeded to fallow the nurse into a room. The nurse let him into the room and told him that a doctor would see him in a moment. The room had the same smell as the rest of the place and even though the walls were white there were little pictures of animals and letters all over the walls. There were some diagrams of the ear and other random. He put the car seat on the exam table and took the blanket off. She smiled at him and started to look around the room. Jak crinkled his nose and looked at her.

"You just had to do that now didn't you?" Jak asked Jaklin as she smiled at him. Jak made a face at her.

"Think your funny do you?" he said as he took her out of the car seat. By the time the doctor came to the room Jak had already had her changed.

"Eversong huh, tell me is your first name Mar?" asked the doctor.

"Yes," Jak said even though no one called him that unless it was some lame legal issue. The doctor nodded and pulled out two q-tips with plastic caps on them.

"I just need to swab the inside or your mouth and hers," the doctor said. Jak complied letting the doctor run the q-tip on the inside of his cheek. He did the same thing with Jaklin though he had a little trouble getting the q-tip back from her. The doctor smiled and wrote their names on the sticks of the q-tip.

"I will drop these off at the lab, it will take about an hour for the results, I'm also going to give the little lady a check up, I'll be back in a moment," the doctor elaborated. Jak sighed and looked at his watch; he didn't have much time before the conference with the precursors.

The doctor came back and preceded to hand him a bunch of papers to sign.

"Just need you to sign these, here and then we will get under way," the doctor stated. As Jak was looking threw the papers he started to exam Jaklin. Come to find out she was already three months old as of the fifteenth. The doctor left the room for a bit to get some more papers for Jak to sign.

'Read the things before you sign anything' his darkness hissed.

'Why?' asked Jak. He knew that his darkness would do nothing to hurt the baby they had already talked about that last night.

'What if one of those papers is asking you to give her up with out you knowing because you're not reading them?' asked the light.

Jak stopped and started to read every thing he was signing and found that in the middle of the bundle of papers was on asking him to sign off his rights as the baby's father. Why was this paper here if he didn't know that he was the father yet? He looked at Jaklin and the back at the paper and frowned. He wasn't going to sign this paper. So he crumpled it up and threw it in the garbage can.

An hour had passed and the doctor finally walked back into the room with the test results. When the doctor looked up at Jak he noticed that he looked angry. Jak looked at the doctor in the eyes and noticed something in them.

"Is something wrong?" he asked

"Yes there is, why is there a paper asking me to sign off my rights as the father?" Jak snarled angrily at him

"the mother of the child wishes for her to be returned, she said that at first she wanted the child to go to the father but now she has changed her mind and would like the child back, however she cant have the child back unless you sign off on her," said the doctor. Jak was even more enraged by what he heard.

"No, I don't think so, she's not getting this baby back I'm not blind and I'm not dumb and I can see that she is mine if she wants her back she'll have to go to court for her," he growled, dark trying to come to the surface.

"It would be better for your family name to give her up, the test dose indicate that you are the father. However if you try to keep her the mother will try to get custody of her in any way they can. The chances of you keeping her are slim, your still a teen," the doctor said to Jak. Just a second before Jak lost control and let dark have his way with the other man, Jaklin squealed at him and he stopped and looked at her.

"There is no way in hell she is getting her and I don't give two shits about my family name, I'm capable of taking care of her I don't need help from any one. I'm leaving, I have other places to be that I should have been to an hour ago." he said as he put Jaklin back into the car seat. He made sure that he had all the proper papers signed and took the birth certificate and test results. On his way out he grabbed his cell and called Ashlin.

"Hello?" she asked.

"Sorry I'm late." Jak said hastily.

"Your never on time," Ashlin laughed as Torn and Keira shooed the kids into another room.

"I have some problems that I'm going to need your help with," Jak said.

"What help do you need?" she asked.

"I… I need you to help me keep custody of Jaklin," he said.

"Jaklin, who's Jaklin?" asked Ashlin.

"Daxter knows the story ask him to tell you I'm on my way there,… with Jaklin." He said and hung up the phone and sighed. He looked down to make sure that Jaklin was covered.
