Chapter Six

SARA

So, it seemed that Jack and I were on the road to getting back together. It was both thrilling and frightening all at once. Even though I was seeing so many changes in him from six years ago, I knew how true it was that old habits died hard. I found myself mentally waiting for the other shoe to fall. To add to all of it, this go around, I was pregnant with his baby. It all seemed to be moving so fast.

I think about that a lot. This baby growing inside of me. To think it was just a month ago that I was single and focused on my career. Now…Now, everything just feels so uncertain. I’ll be a parent in less than nine months. Someone’s mother. There will be a tiny person in this world who relies on me for safety and security for the next eighteen years. I’ll be expected to feed it, clothe it, and keep it alive. I could barely remember to feed myself some days.

In retrospect, my attraction to Jack seemed to be the least of my troubles…but it was still trouble. I’d fallen back into his arms so easily. Being with him just seemed effortless. Like I don’t even have to think too hard about it. It just…is. It’s always been that way, though. I’ve always had a hard time saying no to him. His energy engulfs me, and the way he looks at me gives me butterflies. It always has. I wonder what will become of us.

After the breakup six years ago, I tried to clear him from my mind. Now, here I was, pregnant by him with an undefined relationship. If my mother were alive, she’d shame me for being an unwed and with child. But my mother’s opinion of me had always been negative.

I think that’s why I fell for Jack so easily. He loves everything about me. I can do no wrong. And it’s not like I haven’t thought of Jack all this time. I often wondered how he was holding up in life. But I had moved on, dating here and there. And so had he, apparently. Martin’s four. I wonder about Martin’s mother. Had Jack loved her as much as he said he loved me?

I’m thinking of all this as I sit on my couch. It’s the day after we’ve had dinner and my mind is dizzy with the unending complications that is our relationship. So many things could have gone right the first time around. If only…

If only he’d been the man he’s at least trying to be now.

He’s taking responsibility for this child. That should be enough for now. I’m overthinking it all again.

At least he’s making an effort. He’s being so much more attentive. So sweet.

I need to stop worrying so much. To distract myself, I pick up my phone to scroll through it. My Instagram feed is filled with heartwarming stories of happy couples.

Will Jack and I ever be a happy couple? I wonder.
