When I finally woke up it was 11a.m the next day. Jack was still sleeping next to me and holding onto my waist. I tried getting out of bed when I felt his grip getting tighter.

"Where do you think your going?" He ask, with his eyes still closed.
"I wanted to take a shower, wanna join me?" I ask. He quickly shoots out of bed and heads to the bathroom.
"Lets go!" He shouts and I laugh and head into the shower.
    
   
After a very long shower, and a little bit of love making, we got dressed and went to downstairs to eat. We went to the kitchen and it smelled like someone was already making lunch. We stepped in and saw Mrs. S cooking with CJ and Izzy.

"Good afternoon. I hope your hungry cause we're making pork chops with potatoes and broccoli." She says.
"That sounds really good right now actually, I'm starving." I say.
"I have some left over grilled fish from yesterday if you'd like." Mrs. S asked.
"Yes, please." I say

She heats up the left overs and hands me the plate. I smell the plate in front of me and suddenly the feeling of nausea hits me hard. I quickly run to the trash can and begin to throw up. I feel Jacks hand rubbing my back comforting me.

Finally after a few minutes of torture, I start to feel better. Mrs. S hands me a cool wet wash cloth and I start dabbing my face with it.
"Are you ok my Love?" Jack says worried.
"I'm ok, but I can safely say the baby doesn't like fish." I say with a smile.
  "I'll make a note on that." Jack laughs

    
"Your mother was the same way. She couldn't be around fish or she would throw up chunks." I freeze when I recognizing the voice behind me. I quickly turn to face my dad standing there. He looked so much better from the last time I saw him. His faces wasn't sunken in and his color was back to normal. I ran to him and wrapped my arms around him and started to cry.

"Shhh, its ok, I'm ok." He says
"I....I thought I lost you." I cry, "Why didn't you tell me. Why did you keep it a secret from me.... Am I really such a burden to you that you can't even tell m when your dying." I cry, hugging him even tighter.

"I didn't wanna tell you, because I wanted to be with your mother." He says. "I knew what I was doing was wrong and I couldn't believe how self I was. I was ready to risk it all and leave you behind.." My father looks at me in my eyes and I could see the guilt he held.

"No one understands you more than I do. I never thought for a second that you were a burden, and I'm so sorry for ever making you feel like I couldn't trust you or come to you."


I could feel my father was telling the truth and it made me upset at first for what he did, but I guess if I were in his shoes, I'd probably do the same thing too. Living a life without Jack, thats something I never want to experience.
"Well, I guess I can forgive you since you forgave me last time." I say and we start laughing.

   
"Alright now, no more crying, food is about ready so take a seat." Mrs. S says.
We all make our way to the table and take a seat. Jack sits next to me and my dad sit across from us. Mrs. S and CJ set the food on the table and everything smells so good that my stomach begins to growl. Jack hears my stomach and starts to laugh.

He grabs a plate and serves me some pork chops and potatoes with extra buttered broccoli.
"Eat my love." He says, placing the plate in front of me.
"But shouldn't I wait tell everyone gets here." I say.
"Nonsense, your hungry and carrying our child, if anything you should eat first." He says kissing my head.
"He's right sweetie. You should eat before the boys get here and finish it all." Mrs. S says.
"Thank you." I say and start digging. The pork chops were so juicy and the potatoes were so smooth and buttery.

   
Mark comes and gives me a quick hug and Izzy does the same. James followed behind her and waves hello. Reed and Sean then comes in and were about to get a plate when Mrs. S smacked both there hands with a wooden spoon.
