Javi Damien Santiago Jr.
"We were fighting and I was going to leave and then I fell down the stairs. And when I went to the doctor a week later the baby had died." Quinn told Huck from her place on the other side of the bathroom door
"How?" Huck asked her
"The umbilical cord that transfers oxygen from my body to the baby had detached from the placenta." She said as tears slowly slid down her face
"What the heck is a placenta?" He asked confused never hearing of a placenta
"The placenta is best described as a pancake-shaped organ that attaches to the inside of the uterus and is connected to the fetus by the umbilical cord. According to the American Pregnancy Association." She said leaning her head against the door
"You said you fell down the stairs. You didn't fall I pushed you. I killed our baby." He said making Quinn sigh
"You didn't kill our baby, Huck. Sometimes things happen for a reason." Quinn said standing up from the bathroom floor
"I pushed you down the stairs, Quinn. If that hadn't happened we would be preparing for our baby." Huck said looking up as the door opened revealing Quinn who was wrapped in a towel
"There's always next time."
Quinn sat down on the couch and sighed. Huck had left to go the store four hours ago but the odd thing was they had been to the store that same day and when she asked what he was going for he said he forget something that he needed. Just as she was getting up to call him, he came walking into the house looking happier than he was when he left.
"Where have you been?" Quinn asked him
"Just out." Huck said hanging his jacket up before placing the keys in the bowl they kept by the front door
"You're doing it again. Aren't you?" She asked him standing up
"Doing what?" He asked confused
"Cheating on me. Because when you left you were sad and now that you're back you look happy. Why?" She asked folding her arms across her chest
"I don't want to lie to you. I went to see my son." He said making Quinn furrow her brows together
"You're son? What son?" Quinn asked already knowing the answer
"Javi Jr. ." Huck told her walking past her to the kitchen
"You found your wife and your son? And didn't tell me. I'm about to be your wife I think he needs to meet me before I become his stepmother and he needs to meet Haley even though she isn't related to him biologically." She said following him
"Already arranged. We can go to the park tommorow then go get ice cream. And Kimberly isn't my wife anymore. We got a divorce considering the fact we're both in two different relationships. Now if you will excuse me I have a daughter to tend to." He told her walking up the stairs to the nursery where Haley was crying
The next morning Quinn got up and sighed. She was meeting Huck's son for the first time and it was starting to make her nervous as she looked over at Huck's side of the bed she took notice in the fact that Huck wasn't there as she stood she could here him on the phone with who she guessed was his ex-wife, Kimberly.
"I don't know if Quinn wants to meet you. Of course she wants to meet JJ. I know, Kim. Where is JJ now? Does he still want to go to the park and meet Quinn and Haley? Hey listen Kim, Quinn's awake. I'll call you back after I ask her. Okay. Bye." Huck said hanging up the phone, "Morning."
"Morning. What was that about?" Quinn asked walking over to him
"Kim wants to meet you." He told her
"I'm fine with meeting her." She said wrapping her arms around his neck
"Good. Because Kimberly doesn't take no for an answer."
Quinn felt an little uneasy about meeting Huck's son and his ex-wife at the same time but Huck had told her all the things that Javi Jr. liked and the things that Kimberly liked. She had Huck stop her off at the baby boutique after Huck told Quinn Kim was pregnant with her new husbands baby and got her a stuffed bear that had big brown eyes and a red bow tied around it's neck. The closer they got to the park the more nervous Quinn became but when they came to a stop Quinn looked up from her hands she saw a short woman with curly brown hair and little boy who looked just like Huck standing next to her. She carfully climbed out of the car along with Huck who had grabbed Haley from her seat.
"Hi Kim." Huck sad walking up to her and his son
"Hi. Javi say hi to your dad and his girlfriend." Kimberly told Javi as he hid behind
"Hi dad. Hi dad's girlfriend." Javi said, not knowing Quinn's name
"Hi Javi. In case your wondering my name is Quinn." Quinn told the little boy
"Dad are we still going to the park later?" Javi asked slowly walking towards him noticing Haley who was in his arms sucking on her thumb
"Of course buddy." Huck told pulling him close, "Say by to your mom."
"By mommy."
Quinn couldn't helo but smile as Huck's son rambled off about what he did that entire weekend. Javi looked just like Huck and had some hints of Kimberly in him as well.
"So Javi how are you liking Haley so far?" Huck asked him looking over at his son who was sitting on the park bench
"She's cool. But I can't understand what she's saying." Javi said back looking at Haley who was babbling away in a language that no one could understand
"Well buddy, she's still a baby and she can't really talk right now so she's speaking uh, baby language." Huck said making laugh a little at his explanation
"Dad, where do babies come from anyway?" Javi asked making Huck choke on the water he was drinking. Once he settled he looked over at Quinn who was on the verge of laughing
"Well, um... We'll have that talk when you get older. Way, way older." Huck told him making Quinn bust out laughing
"When I get older?" Javi asked frowning
"Yup.." Huck said nodding his head, "I'll be back, buddy." He told him getting up to take Haley for a walk around the pond and to let Javi and Quinn get to know eachother
"So Javi how are you?" Quinn asked him
"Okay." Javi said looking down at his hands
"How's school?" She asked him smiling sweetly
"It's okay. I'm an honor student." He told her continuing to look down and when he finally looked up Quinn was still staring at him, "Why did my Daddy and my Mommy break up? I thought they loved each other."
"Well sometimes love isn't enough to keep two people together." She said running her thumb down his cheek gently
"But Mommy said Daddy left because he was trying to protect us." He said
"Your mommy was right. Your dad did what he had to so you guys can be happy and be safe because he didn't want anything to happen to you guys but just because they broke up doesn't mean they don't love each other." Quinn said wrapping her around Javi's shoulder
"Okay I guess." Javi said looking up at Quinn once again and smiled at her just as Huck came back
"Hey Javi why don't go hop on the swings or something before we go." Huck said sitting down
"Okay!" Javi said running off towards the swings
"What were you two talking about?" Huck asked her
"Nothing much just about how school is and other things." Quinn said taking Haley from him
"Well I;m glad you two are talking." He told her just as Javi came running back, "Done already I see."
"Yup."
Huck glanced over at Quinn as she and Javi talked about video games and sports. He knew Quinn and Javi would get along with each other but never this much, it had been 4 hours and they hadn't stopped talking at all.
"Do you like Bones? It's a TV show." Javi asked Quinn
"Yes! Its like the best show ever." Quinn said smiling
"How about Game of Thrones?" Javi asked her
"I love it but Huck thinks I'm weird because of it, I will not let those I have freed slide back into chains." Quinn said mimicking Daenerys from Game of Thrones
"Daenerys! What's so weird about Game of Thrones, Dad?" Javi asked
"I didn't say it was weird. I said Quinn was weird." Huck said looking up from feeding Haley a little bit of ice cream
"She's not weird. She's awesome." Javi said smiling at Quinn who smiled back
"I'll be back. Someone needs a diaper change." Quinn said pickingup Haley before walking over to restrooms
"So buddy how do you like Quinn?" Huck asked his son
"She's nice. I wish I didn't have to go home today so I could get to know her better." Javi said
"Would you like it if she was around more?" Huck asked
"Yeah I would." Javi said nodding his head
"So does that mean you would like it if we got married?" Huck asked carefully, his nerves calmed when he saw the happy look on his son's face
"I would love it!" Javi said reaching over to hug his father
"Hey what's with all the hugs? I want in on the action." Quinn said as she walked back to the table pressing her body against both of theirs while balancing Haley in her arms
"I want to be in the wedding." Javi said pulling away from his father
"That can be arranged." Quinn told him sitting down
A few hours later Huck, Quinn, Javi, and Haley were asleep on the couch with their dog, Harley, sleeping peacefully on the floor in front of the couch. Quinn was laying at one end of the couch and Huck was laying at another, Javi was resting against her chest while Huck cradled Haley close to his chest as they slept peacefully. Quinn jumped
"Hi Kimberly. Come in, please." Quinn said stepping aside to let her in
"Where's Javi?" Kim asked before she noticed him on the couch sleeping
"He made himself at home." Quinn told her
"I see." Kim said walking over to her son, "Javi baby wake up."
"Mommy?" Javi said opening his eyes to look at her
"Yeah babe its time to go." Kim said as he pulled himself up off the couch and woke up Huck
"Dad, I'm leaving." Javi said
"Okay. See you another time okay, Buddy?" Huck asked
"Okay." Javi said walking out with Kim before running back in to hug Quinn, "Bye Quinnie."
"Bye Javi."
3 hours Huck sighed as he walked up the stairs to his bedroom to check on Quinn who had been complaining about her stomach cramping that entire day
"Hey, feeling any better?" Huck asked sitting down on the bed
"Not really." Quinn said clutching her lower stomach, Huck then realized it was the twelveth and every month on the twelveth Quinn got her period
"Stay put." He said getting up to go back downstairs to get a jar of peanut butter from the cabinet before going back upstairs to where Quinn was now laying on her back
"Open up." He said kneeling over her, she opened her mouth allowing him to put the spoon in her mouth making her frown at the texture
"Why did you do that?" She asked sitting up
"Why don't you go check your pants?" He told her watching as she got up off the bed and went into the bathroom, a few minutes later he heard her come out of the bathroom with different clothes then she had on when she went in
"How do you know me so well?"
"Because I know your body better than you do."
Quinn grimaced as another cramp hit her making her sit up in bed, she hated this time of month because Huck always made her stay in bed until the cramps went away and she was able to walk without limping. As she lay there she heard Huck come in which made her look over at him and smiled when she saw he had Haley with him
"Hey." Huck said sitting down
"Hi." Quinn responded
"What's that Haley? You have something for Mommy?" He asked pulling out a small box from behind his back, "Well let's see what it is. Happy Anniversary."
"Aw." She said taking the box from him and when she opened it there was a diamond bracelet, "If you keep spoiling me I'll never leave."
"I don't want you to." He said tucking a strand of hair behind her ear
"But I didn't get you anything." She said a little guilty
"And that's okay. The best gift is that even after everything I've done you're still here and you still love me." Huck said leaning over to kiss her
"Da-da." little Haley said making Huck and Quinn gasp as they pulled away from each other
"She said da-da! She said her first word, Huck!" Quinn said squeezing him tightly but Huck didn't hug back he was to shocked for that. He finally was able to be in Javi's life but he never got the chance to hear him say his first words or to see him take his first steps but Huck didn't work for B6-13 anymore and no one was going to take his family away from him. Haley and Quinn was his and no one could take them away from him. Not now. Not ever.
"Huck?" Quinn said noticing how spaced out he was
"I'm fine." Huck said pulling away before handing her Haley and walking out of the room leaving Quinn sitting there worried about what was going through his head. Quinn got up and put Haley in her nursery and shut her door before going down stairs where Huck was laying on the couch staring up at the ceiling
"Huck?" She called out walking closer to him
"I'm okay." He said continuing to stare at the ceiling
"You're not okay." She said laying down on his chest trying to get him to look at her
"I wasn't there for him. I wasn't there when he said his first words, I wasn't there when he started crawling, I wasn't there when he too his first steps. I would give anything to go back and be there." He said as his eyes began to water
"Would you give up what we have? Would you give up me and Haley to go back to the past so you can be there for your son? 'Cause I don't think you would." Quinn said leaning uo to kiss his jaw line gently
"I honestly don't know." Huck said making Quinn's heart break a little
"If you want to leave me and Haley then go ahead because I'm not going to stop you. I have never been the type of woman to hold a man where he doesn't want to be so if you leave just know that I'll forgive you for it and eventually move on but don't stay with me and you don't want to be here." She said climbing off of his chest to go back upstairs and when she got there she laid down on the bed and silently cried to herself which soon turned into sobs. She thought that Huck wasn't happy where he was and that made her upset beacause she loved Huck and wanted to spend the rest of her life with him but she couldn't do that if he didn't want her.
"I don't want to leave." she heard Huck whisper in her ear which made her jump because she hadn't heard him come in and he was now pressed firmly against her body. He kissed her cheek and held her close as she continued to sob uncontrollably then after a while her sobs turned into short, quick breaths as she slowly relaxed in his arms.
Author's Note- Wow. This was one emotion packed chapter. And Huck's son is in the picture now. Abby returns next chapter, maybe. It's longer than usual because I couldn't see myself breaking it into two chapters.
Snuggy29- Thanks for your review and I hope this chapter answers your question.
