Miracles
Chapter 2
The next chapter to my one-shots of Jack and Sally, going through the nerve racking, but totally worth it rollercoaster known as pregnancy. I think it's going to be a few more chapters until Sally has the baby, just to let you know. Let's do this!
Sally Skellington just couldn't believe it. She was carrying a little Pumpkin Prince or Princess, the future ruler of Halloween Town, her and Jack's first baby as a married couple.
She placed her hand on her stomach. Though she wasn't even a whole month pregnant yet, she could already feel like she was showing.
"Sally?" she heard a voice call,
"In the bedroom, Jack." She called back to her husband.
Sally soon saw her husband and father of her child, Jack, walking up the last of the spiral staircase.
He smiled, placed his briefcase on the desk and walked over to his wife, who was leaning against the window, gazing at the setting jack-o'-lantern sun. "Hello, my angel," he cooed as he ran his skeletal fingers through her red hair and kissed the stitches holding the right side of her face together. He noticed then that Sally still had her hand on her stomach. He smiled and bent down and kissed her stomach, "And hello to you too, my little one,"
Sally giggled at Jack's sweet gestures to her cheek and stomach, with her hand lightly gripping his after he placed it on top of hers.
Jack leaned his skull against her head and sighed, "My love, can I ask you something?"
Sally turned around to face her husband, placing her hands lightly on his shoulders, "Of course you can. What is it? Is everything alright, honey?"
Jack couldn't help but smiled at her concern for him, but he frowned again as he asked his question, "Sally, do you think the baby will like me?"
Sally wanted to laugh at the silliness of his question, thinking he was just joking. But then, she saw the worry and stress in his eye-sockets that this question was causing him. This wasn't a joke. He was serious. "Jack, what would make you think the baby wouldn't like you?"
He sighed again as he led them to the edge of their bed and sat, "Sally, I'm the Pumpkin King, the Master of Fright, the one thing all human children and adults fear! What if our baby is scared of me?" he finished, releasing Sally's hands and putting his skull in his own.
Sally reached for his skull and turned his face so he would look at her, "Jack, our baby is going to love you. The first time he or she looks at you, they're not going to see the all mighty ruler of Halloween Town. They're going to see their daddy, being so happy his son or daughter is there and healthy." She finished with a smile.
Jack began to relax. His smile came back to his face as he pulled Sally closer to him, "Do you really think so?"
She giggled, and then laid her head on his chest, "I don't think so. I know so. Our son or daughter is going to love their handsome, sweet, and funny daddy."
He chuckled and pulled her into his lap, "And our son or daughter is going to love their smart, beautiful, and caring mommy as well."
Sally sighed happily as they gazed out the window of their bedroom, holding each other, as if they'll disappear if they let go, "I love you, Jack."
"I love you, too, Sally."
Okay, that's the end of chapter 2. Sorry about the chapters being too short, but they ARE one-shots. If you have any ideas or suggestions for later chapters, don't be afraid to review or PM me. Let me know how I did. R&R!
