Double Take.
Chapter Twenty - Eight.
Alex
One Month Later
I was currently living with Jack in his apartment. I took him back once again, even after he hit me. How I couldn’t stay away from him? I don’t know. Love is crazy I guess. Jack stayed true to his word, so far, and quit with all the drugs and drinking. He still drinks every now and then, but never too much. To say I was proud of him, would be an understatement.
I had just got off work, and heading back to mine and Jack’s place. He was currently doing a mini-tour with his band, which he would be home in about two days. I pulled up into the parking lot of the apartment complex and took my keys out of the ignition and went into the tall building I have grown to know.
Once I was on our floor, I exited the elevator and started walking down the hall. The closer I got to our apartment, I saw someone standing outside of it. When I was almost at the door, I noticed the person to be Steph. I sighed and approached the door, going to unlock it.
“Alex. Is Jack around?” She asked quickly.
“No.” I said bluntly and unlocked the door and stepped in. “Why do you want to talk to him?”
“Please Alex. Tell me where he is. It’s really important.” She spoke, fear laced with her voice.
“He’s on tour right now. He won’t be back for two more days, again, what do you want to talk to him about?”
“If I tell you, do you promise not to get mad?”
“I swear to gosh, if you two had sex again-” She cut me off.
“It’s not that. That was only a one time thing. It’s kinda the reason I’m here, too.”
“What?”
“I’m pregnant Alex.” She spoke. I could feel my eyes went wide. This woman standing in front of me right now. Was pregnant with MY boyfriend’s child? What the hell!
I moved to the side and motioned for her to come in, which she did. I shut the door behind her and we went into the living room and sat down on the couch.
“Are you sure Jack is the Father?” I asked timidly.
“Yes Alex! He was the last person I had sex with!”
“And when was the last time you had sex with Zack?”
“About two months before we broke up. I would have known if I was pregnant before that. Plus I went to the doctors. They told me I’m only about four weeks into the pregnancy. So yes, Jack is the Father.” She continued. I sighed again and put my head in my hands. “I need help Alex. I can’t raise a child on my own. Hell, I don’t even want the damn thing!”
“What?” I snapped my head to her.
“I’m thinking about getting an abortion.”
“You are not getting an abortion!” I shouted at her.
“It’s my child. Therefore you can’t tell me what I can and can’t do!”
“I’m not going to let you kill my boyfriend’s baby! I know Jack, he will want to be in that child’s life!”
“Then what do I fucking do Alex?!”
“When he or she is born, let Jack and I be at the birth. Him and I will sign the birth papers. We will take the child.”
“Really?”
“I will have to talk to Jack about it. But I’m sure he will be okay with it, seeing as it’s his in the first place.”
“You would do that for me?” She asked with hope in her eyes.
“Not for you. For the baby. He or she can’t just be killed because it’s Mother don’t want it.”
“I understand.” She looked down at the ground. “I should get going. Thank you Alex. You have my number and I believe I have yours. I’ll call or text if anything comes up.” I nodded my head and walked her out of the apartment before shutting the door behind her. Great, now I have to call Jack and tell him what the hell he did.
I walked back over to the couch and sat down, grabbing my phone off the table and clicking on Jack’s contact and putting it up to my ear. It rang three times before his voice came through.
“Hello my pink-haired lover.” He said, I could hear the smile on his face.
“Jack. We need to talk.” I said bluntly.
“Oh no. You’re breaking up with me again-” I cut him off as I could hear the panic in his voice.
“I’m not breaking up with you.”
“Oh thank gosh. What’s up then?”
“Jack, you’re a Father.”
“W-what?”
“Steph just stopped by the apartment. She’s pregnant with your child.”
“No. No. No. This can’t be happening. Please don’t let this come between us, Alex!” He rushed out.
“I’m not. Trust me. But we need to talk about something else.”
“What is it?”
“Steph doesn’t want the child. She wanted to get a abortion. I told her not to, and that you and I will sign the birth papers and raise the child.” I spoke, a little scared on how he will react.
