Jack

I fell to the ground in shock. I was now on the floor of the back lounge. I was a father. Like, I was a father and I was in no shape to raise children. I just looked up to the sky, completely forgetting that I was on the phone with Alex. What was I even supposed to say?

"Jack, are you still there," Alex said.

"Yeah, I'm just really taken aback," I stammered.

"Are you fine with my decision?"

"Well, I mean, I want to be in my kids life. I mean, I'm a family person and I can't bear to realize that I would never get to see my kid. I mean, imagine what they could do in life. Yeah, we'll sign the necessary papers for my kid."

I hung up the phone, dropping it to the floor. I put my head in my hands, the one fucking time I don't. The one time I'm not careful this happens. I'm such an idiot, I'm such a fool. Why did Alex take me back, I never once deserved him. I ran my hand through my hair.

"What up," Johnny asked quietly.

"I'm a father," I said.

"Care to explain because last time I checked you have a boyfriend."

"I do have a boyfriend. You know about my encounters well I got paid from most of them and my most recent one was with Zack's, you remember me talking about him, ex-girlfriend. Well, apparently she's pregnant."

"That's rough, what'd Alex say?"

"He told Steph that'd we sign all the necessary paperwork to be the parents. I guess which means giving me custody of the child. I'm a father."

He nodded at me, turning his attention back to the TV. I kind of wanted a drink but I refused to let myself go back into that cycle. I wasn't going to get drunk to avoid the truth anymore. I sighed, pulling myself onto the couch, picking up my guitar from the stand in the lounge. I began to mess around with the notes, trying to come up with something.

"Don't hurt yourself thinking Jay," Johnny said smiling.

"Just play your game," I said back at him.

I stood up figuring I should probably tell the rest of my band seeing as they were practically family. I walked into the front room, staring at the front of the bus, attempting to keep my balance. I walked in and saw them joking around and drinking, them knowing not to ask me.

"So guy's guess what," I said, actually kind of happy.

"What," Brian said, smiling.

"I'm a father."

Notes

Not my favorite chapter ever but they're gonna keep the kid :) I went out shopping before I posted this and didn't realize I was going to be gone for like two hours but I had to buy more hair dye. I hope you enjoy this.
