Chapter 26
"Who was on the phone Mom?" Josephine came up to me.
"Oh I was just calling the base to find out what time your father would be home. We're having pizza for dinner tonight." I told her. She simply nodded and ran up to her room. That was close. I was glad for this pregnancy in some ways, Jonas would never have let me order pizza for dinner.
Laying back, I was recalling the short conversation I had with Jack. I missed him so much and hearing his voice was so good. Maybourne proved to be no help, big surprise there. Closing my eyes, I drifted off.
A loud banging startled me back to life. Pushing myself up, I notice that Jonas had come home earlier than expected.
"Enjoy your nap? You know, it would have been nice to come home to a home cooked meal and eat like a family." Jonas remarked snidely.
"Josephine wanted pizza and I already exerted myself way too much. I tried to enroll Josephine in school today, but I need her birth certificate." I get up and walk over to him.
"Birth certificate? They can't find those things in the computer? Oh well, you'll just have to home school her I guess, I don't know why they don't keep that shit in the system." Jonas shrugged. Josephine was standing at the table.
"What?! I'm not trained to home school anyone Jonas. And I don't want you cursing in front of our daughter." As soon as I said this Jonas seemed enraged.
"It's not your place to tell me what I will and will not do. And if I want to say shit, well then I will say shit dammit!" Jonas raised his hand and slung it across my face. Falling backwards, my head makes contact with the wall and I instantly lose consciousness.
When I wake up, I find myself in my bedroom. My head is screaming at me and it takes me awhile till I remember Jonas decking me. Gently sitting up, I stand to go to the bathroom. Through the thin walls I can hear Josephine talking on the phone.
"I know mom. It's just that she's so clingy. But it's gross pretending Jonas is my dad. Alright, I miss you too. Love you too." I fell on the toilet seat in total shock.
Jack was right. Jonas had lied to me yet again, I gave him far too much credit. I was wrong when I said no man could be that evil. Jonas could give Satan a run for his money for sure. Just when I was gaining hope it all came crashing down. Getting up I walk out and run into Josephine.
"Hey, do you know where Jonas is?" I ask.
"I think he went back to the base. Are you okay Mom?" Josephine asked. It wasn't like I could tell her I was in on the joke.
"Yeah, I'm just going to go out for a minute, I need some pain medicine. Are you going to be alright here?" I asked. She nodded. Grabbing the keys I got in my car. Backing out the driveway my vision became all spotty. I made it to the gate of SGC but the guard refused to let me in. Well this was certainly déjà vu.
"Look, I have to see the doctor. Can't really go off base for this type of thing. So are you.." I trailed off before everything became black once again.
