Robbins twin

chapter 13

AJs pov

5 days had passed and Jackson had already started moving my stuff from my room above Joe's to his apartment. A couple of days ago Dr Stark had contacted child services and the Newmans signed over their parental rights to them, Jackson and I had our second meeting with Freddies case worker.

Donna. Good afternoon Miss Robbins, Dr Avery. I have looked over what we discussed a few days ago and I'm afraid due to lack of evidence of financial history or job stability we cannot allow the process of Miss Robbins adopting Mr Freddie Newman to go any further.

Jackson. What? There's got to be something, she is his mother.

Donna. I'm sorry Dr Avery but Miss Robbins has not been his mother since she terminated her parental rights when he was born.

AJ. Then what can we do?

Donna. Get yourself a stable job with a reliable income, I'm afraid it will be a long process.

AJ. Is there any way we can do it any quicker???

Jackson. Theoretically then what if we got married? Would we share custody?

AJ. Jackson?

Donna. You would share custody, 

I couldn't process what Jackson just said, I was so shocked. 

Jackson. So if Aj and I get married she has more of a chance of adopting Freddie than if she tried alone.

Donna. That's correct.

Jackson. We will go and discuss this and meet with you in a few more days... AJ???

Donna. Thank you Dr Avery, Miss Robbins.

I have literally no clue what just happened, I'm still in shock. Jackson took me back to the apartment and I immediately fell asleep. Later in the afternoon I woke up to hear talking coming from the front door. It sounded like Jackson was talking to some woman. I stood out of sight and just listened to their conversation.

Catherine walking in through the door. Where is this girl that has stolen my babies heart?

Jackson. I told you mom she is asleep she had surgery 5 days ago.

Catherine. Okay I was hoping she would be awake by the time I got here. Why did you call me here so urgently anyway?

Jackson. Mom I would rather wait for her to wake up before talking about it.

Holy crap he wants me to meet his mother and I look like shit. I wish he warned me about this before then I could've prepared myself. Shit what am I going to do. This is all going way faster than I want it to go. I could feel myself starting to have a panic attack and had nothing to calm me down. I went inside the bathroom and called out for Jackson, he soon came in.

Jackson. Hey... hey what's wrong?

AJ. I... can't... breathe...

Jackson. Come here... feel me breathing and try to match it.

He finally calmed me down.

AJ. Your mother is here?

Jackson. She wants to meet you. Also we need to discuss a few things that will involve her. I know you said don't pounce on you with a proposal but do you want to get married then together we can adopt Freddie.

AJ. Jackson you don't have to do that. I can work something out to get him back.

Jackson. I know I don't have to AJ, I want to. I want to be your husband, I want to be Freddies dad. Do you want that too?
