[[Chapter 7]]
“We need to talk.” She interrupted, frowning.
“Yeah? About what?” He asked, concerned. Did something happen to her while she was gone, other than giving birth? Was she hurt, or being followed? Thousands of ideas scattered across his mind as she beckoned him to sit with her on the couch.
“It’s about Jane.” She admitted, wanting to be blunt and get this over with. He surely wouldn’t want her if he knew the truth and it was wrong to keep stringing him along.
“Is something wrong with her? Is she hurt? Sick?” He said, quickly checking the little girl in his arms to make sure she had ten fingers and toes and was not cut or bleeding.
“No, she’s fine… it’s just…” She stuttered, trying to find the right words to make him see that she didn’t do it on purpose. She didn’t mean to hurt him. It wasn’t planned this way. She wanted to go back and change it all. She never would have gone to
his house, gotten drunk, slept with
him. She never should have picked that fight. She never should have yelled. She never should have doubted him.
“Babe, what is it? You can tell me.” He listened intently, gently rubbing the back of her battered hand. He didn’t know what was about to come. He seemed so innocent. He had no idea.
“Jane’s not yours.” She whispered, looking down and trembling with anticipation. What would he do? Would he throw her out, kick her to the curb, and abandon them?
“Is… is she…
his?” He asked calmly, almost with no emotion. His non-reaction scared her and she was suddenly frightened of what he might do to the innocent baby in his arms.
She slowly nodded, her eyes focused on Jane who was entirely clueless to the current situation. She didn’t deserve a mother who was an adulterous whore. Her real father didn’t even know about her. Did he deserve to? She wasn’t created out of love; she was just the product of a drunken one-night stand.
“I… I don’t know what to say.” He replied, suddenly seeing the little girl in a different light. All this time he thought she was his. How could he have been so blind? How could he have not noticed? Was there something going on with
him? He began to doubt if she was actually kidnapped. Maybe she had set it up so she could go be with
him when Jane was delivered. Maybe she just came back because she found out what
he really was like. Maybe she got bored with
him. But then why would she tell him this?
“I’m sorry.” She said weakly. “I’m so sorry.” She cried as he gently placed the child back in her arms and walked out the door.
