Later, after Jack had taken a walk and cooled down, he got back in the car and drove the two of them back to his apartment where they sat across from one another as if they were both daring the other to speak. A thousand thoughts ran through his mind. Was he ready for this? What kind of father would he be? Nothing like his own, that was for sure. What would their baby look like? Like her, hopefully.

“You don’t have to do this,” he finally said. “We could raise this baby together.”

She grimaced. “You don’t really realize what you’re saying.”

Jack stood, walked over, and kneeled on the floor in front of her. He took her hands in his. “Yes, I do.”

She stared at their hands. “That’s funny considering we’re not even certain it’s yours.”

Jack lightly grabbed her chin and pulled it toward him, forcing her to look directly at his face. “I don’t care.”

She scoffed. “You say that now. But you have no idea…”

“I know that I love you. I know that I would love anything that’s a part of you.”

Amelie stared at his fingers as they traced the outline of her palm. “We both know that love isn’t enough. I mean, haven’t we learned anything here.”

Jack released her hand and backed away. “That’s bullshit and you know it! You don’t want love to be enough, do you? It’s you who doesn’t want this baby, Amelie. Not me. Remember that”

“You’re right. I don’t want this baby. Or any other baby. I don’t want kids. I really never have...”

He squeezed the bridge of his nose between his thumb and forefinger. “Well, I guess you should have considered that before. How did this happen, anyway? I thought you were on the pill?”

She straightened her back. “I was… I am. I guess I could’ve forgotten to take it a few times. I don’t know, Jack. What do you want me to say? Nothing’s one hundred percent… you know that.”

Jack pushed himself up off the floor and walked to the kitchen. “You wanna know what I know?” He pounded his fist on the counter. Jack felt the rage building, but he couldn’t push it back down, even if he’d wanted to. “I know that you don’t take shit seriously! You never have. This is all just a game to you! But you know what, Amelie? EVERYTHING isn’t about YOU. This is my life we’re talking about. This is our child’s life. Why did you come here? Why not just take care of it in France? Why even tell me? How fucking selfish of you. I mean, you had to know what I was going to say…”

Amelie wiped the tears on her face with the back of her hand, and then met his gaze head on. “You want the truth, Jack? I came here because I didn’t have anywhere else to go. Vincent dumped me, and I didn’t want to go home and bother my mother with this because I didn’t think I could handle seeing yet another look of disappointment on her face.
