Without Her

Chapter 65 - Plans

Jac and Kian return home, and Jac angrily throws herself down on the sofa.

"Jac, are you okay?"

"Do you think I'm okay?" She asks, not looking up at him "I was just told that I should terminate, my child! Why would I be okay?!"

"You know we don't have to." He replies, sitting on the sofa and hugging her closer to him.

"I know, but what if they die anyway?" Jac sighs, "What if we do all of this, just for our baby to suffer?"

"I'm sure it won't come to that."

She starts to cry, "This is my fault, I wanted to get pregnant so desperately and I did. But..."

"I wanted this so desperately that I've harmed, my baby in the process."

"Jac you didn't harm the baby, these things happen."

"I just wanted something to go right for once, you know?" Jac replies, crying into Kian's hair.

"I know, I know." He then smiles, thinking of something to cheer her up "Can you stop making my hair wet, please?"

She smiles, "Sorry, just upset."

"And you have a right to be." Kian says, standing up and walking into the kitchen.

He starts to chop up some fruit, and put some marmite on top of it.

Something that Jac seemed to be craving all the time was that weird combination, not even the devil would eat.

But before he can finish chopping Jac approaches, and she starts to kiss him deeply.

Before long his back is against the fridge, and they are kissing more passionately and hungrily.

Harriet walks downstairs with Emma, and Emma has to cover Harriet's eyes.

"Mum! What the hell?!" Emma asks, confused.

Jac breaks away from the kiss and sees the kids behind them, "Uh, nothing you didn't see anything."

"Did you forget we exist or something?" Emma says, sitting at the dining table.

"Sissy can me open eyes now?" Harriet asks, still having her eyes covered.

"Yeah don't worry, you can baby." Jac replies, pulling her top back on.

"Mummm.." Emma says, trying to get Jac's attention.

"Yes, Emma?" Jac asks, sitting across from her.

"What happened in the scan today? Anything exciting?"

"Not really just that it's sort of, twins."

"Two siblings?" Emma asks, and when Jac nods she jumps up in excitement.

"Maybe." Jac sighs, starting to eat the fruit and marmite.

"Maybe?" Emma replies, "Maybe what?"

"One baby is developing behind the other, we don't know if they'll make it."

"Oh..." Emma says, looking down and playing with her food.

"Emma, stop playing with your food! It's disgusting!" She raises her voice a little bit, "I'm sorry, it's just my hormones."

"Oh great, now I have to live with a Naylor who'll bully me for 6 months." Kian rolls his eyes, jokingly.

Jac stands up and hits him playfully, "You're the annoying one, not me."

"Mmm, we'll see about that Jacqueline."
