Jax sat at the bar and drank whiskey.

Jessa's words were swirling through his mind as the alcohol swirled in his stomach.

I'll never forgive you for taking him from me.

He took another sip of his drink, but it didn't erase the taste of her from his mouth or wipe clean his memory of her reaction to him. He'd been torturing himself, wondering if everything he remembered about their night together had been exaggerated. Now he was tortured by the fact that it had not.

Yet she hated him.

He’d laid it all on the line, told her how much that night had meant to him, how much he wanted to repeat it, and all she wanted was to forget.

What the hell was he supposed to do with that?

His cell phone rang and he saw it was Logan. "What's up?"

"I was able to access Jessa's medical records directly."

Jax’s stomach clenched. "Go on."

“It’s good news. There is nothing about cancer in these files," said Logan. "These records are just for basic checkups, as if she were seeing a general physician."

Relief flooded through Jax. She’d been telling the truth, and he couldn't have been more grateful. Jessa did not have cancer. She was going to be okay.

Thank God.

"Except for one thing," said Logan. "I don’t know if it’s relevant or not, but since you asked me to look in her files, it seems like maybe it’s something I should—”

“What is it, Logan?”

“She's pregnant."

Jax slammed his drink down on the bar. "What?"

“Pregnant. You know, she’s having a baby.”

“I know what the hell pregnant means, you idiot. When is she due?”

“Uh, let me see… looks like March eighteenth.”

Jax rolled his eyes. “That was three months ago, Logan.”

“Oh no, wait. Sorry. That’s the date of her last period. What was that, like two and a half months ago?"

Jax’s senses reeled as his mind flew through the calendar. He needed to get off this phone. Needed to get out of this bar. Somehow he managed to make his voice work. "Anything else?"

"That's all I found."

"Okay, thanks." Jax ended the call with shaking fingers and got to his feet. Any alcoholic haze he'd managed to attain had already evaporated from his mind. He threw money on the bar, not waiting for change, and headed back upstairs to the room.

A baby.

He was going to be a father.

It didn’t matter how it happened, didn’t matter they hadn’t intended to create a new life. He was going to be a father, and Jessa was the mother of his child.

Awe spread its wings wide inside his spirit and he smiled a wobbling smile.

Why hadn’t she told him? Didn’t she know he’d be happy?

He walked down the corridor, not feeling the floor beneath his feet. In the blink of an eye, his life had changed. He was having a baby with Jessa.

Jesus.

He laughed an awkward laugh that sounded a bit like a sob as he waited for the elevator. He was going to be a father.

He reached their hotel room and inserted his key. She stood beside the bed and straightened when he walked in.
