Not Over You // j.g. (wattys 2015)

Twenty Six.

9 months later... (sorry for the huge time jump)

Lia Conrad

I wake up early in the morning to hear the baby crying once again. As I get up, I look at the time. It's 6:00. I look over and see that Jack is not home. He must be with Jack. I go to the kitchen to get the baby's bottle from the fridge and warm it up. I shuffle over to the baby, making sure not to trip over anything and spill the formula. I pick up the baby and hold him in my arms. His skin is soft and warm feeling on my hands. His skin has not yet been exposed to the elements so it is still soft as when he was born.

I hear the door open and Jack comes in looking excited.

"Lia!" He says coming inside. "I have fantastic news!" He hops into the room with the biggest smile on his face. I nod excitedly, gesturing for him to continue. "Jack and I have sold a lot of albums. Our new EP is a hit! Even from non- Jack & Jack fans!"

"That's great, Jack! I'm so proud of you guys!"

"Thank you, thank you." He takes a deep breath. "But that 's not all." He smiles even more if that's possible. "We have enough money to buy a house of our own!"

"A house? An actual house?" I say excitedly.

"Yes! An actual house!" He comes over and hugs me as best as he can with the baby in my arms. "We should start packing tomorrow!"

"Tomorrow?" He nods.

"What's wrong with tomorrow?" He asks worriedly.

"Nothing it's just a little short notice."

"Well, I just checked our savings account a few days ago so I'm sorry if it's a little too quick."

"Wait, if we're moving out tomorrow, where are we moving to? And what about furniture and redecorating and-"

"Calm down, Lia. All of that stuff is already handled by yours truly. I picked out a beautiful two story house and I know you'll love it."

"Hold on, Jack. You're telling me that you bought a house you just saw a few days ago? How? And why didn't you ever tell me?"

"I actually had it on hold for a while. The sellers were willing to wait for as long as I wanted and I waited almost a year." He gave a shy smile. "And I never told you so I could have this moment right here." I put the baby back in his bassinet and turned back to Jack. He held my hands in his, looking into my eyes. "I love you, Lia and I want this family to work and it will." He smiled.

"I love you too, Ja-" Suddenly, three very loud knocks erupted from the front door of our soon to be sold apartment. The baby began to cry loudly because he had just fallen asleep.

"I'll get it, Lia. Don't move." I nodded while Jack looked through the peep hole. His breath sped up and he had an angry but worrisome look in his eyes. "Take the baby and hide somewhere now."

"Jack what's going on?" I asked as I picked up the baby.

"Don't ask questions. Just trust me."

Jack Gilinsky

I opened the front door and saw Aiden standing there. Looking angry.

"Can I help you?"

"Where is my baby." He stated.

"First of all, he's not yours and he never will be. You have no right."

"I helped make him, I think I have a right." He growled.

"That has nothing to do with what you did to Lia to make that baby. And you are very unfit to be a parent. You live in a shack and you don't have the funds or any idea how to raise a child, Aiden. You belong in prison."

"Fine. If you won't give him to me, I'll just have to take him." He tried to rush past me but I pushed him down and he landed on the ground.

"I wouldn't do that if I were you." He smirked as he pulled out a gun and pointed it at me. A wave of worry went over me. Lia. The baby. What is he going to do? He stood back up and tried to find Lia and the baby. I followed him and I knew where they were hiding.

"Where are they?" He said angrily. Suddenly, I heard the baby cry and my heart stopped. Aiden let an evil smirk creep onto his face.

"No. Aiden. You don't want to do this." I tried to stop him but he opened the closet door, revealing Lia and the baby.

Lia Conrad

The closet door swung open and I got swarmed with the feeling of fear when I saw Aiden standing in the doorway and not Jack telling me that we were safe. I clutched the baby closer to me, knowing that he is what Aiden came for.

"Aiden, get away from me and my child."

"Oh Lia. I don't think you want to talk to me like that." He said as he held that same grin on his face. He brought a gun to my head. "Give me the baby."

"No, Aiden."

"Get away from her, Aiden." He pulled the gun away and walked over to Jack.

"Jack, Jack, Jack. You see, I don't think I want to do that." From where he stood, he pointed the gun at me, his finger on the trigger. "Goodbye, Lia." Suddenly, Jack tackled him. A gun shot filled the air. Jack was now holding Aiden down, making sure he couldn't reach the gun.

"Lia, call the police." Jack told me. I got up quickly from the closet and got my phone to call the cops.

When the cops arrived, Aiden was arrested and he was charged for the rape and this situation. He is in jail for life. As for Jack, the baby, and I, we're doing perfectly fine in our new house. Jack was right, I did love it just like I love Jack and my beautiful baby.

Everything is going just as it should and I hope it stays this way forever.

Okay so this is the end of the story. I hope you liked it! And before you ask: No. There will not be a sequel. Sorry haha I just don't feel like writing it lol. But there is another book coming soon! Thank you guys for reading! :)
