If I Fall, Would You Catch Me? {Sequel to Candy Coated Love} ~Laughing Jack X Reader~

The Type of Talk That's Hard to Talk About

Your POV

When I returned to the Mansion I was very quiet the entire day. Everybody seemed to notice and asked if I was alright but I would never reply. All that went through my brain was the thought of producing a child with Jack and Zalgo. As Jack and I were getting ready for bed I sat in a chair and Jack said, "Y/n, are you alright? You haven't said anything the whole day. What's wrong?"

"Jack, you may want to sit."

He sat across from me and when he got comfortable I took his claws in my hand. I sighed and said, "Jack, when I went into the flower patch I saw Zalgo."

"Did he hurt you?"

"No, but he did reveal very shocking news."

"Like what?"

"Like how I must produce a girl heir."

Jack's eyes softened and his eyebrows furrowed. "Why?"

"He explained that his Master is trying to break me and if he succeeds I need a girl to take my place. He said as soon as possible we must produce a girl to take my place."

"Does that mean..."

"Yes, Jack. We must do that."

"Did he say anything about our sons?"

"No. He only told me that he was forced into kidnapping them by his Master. He also revealed that he's my great great Grandfather."

Jack gasped and I nodded. "It's true, Jack. He's part of my bloodline, my family. He is the reason as to why I exist."

"Y/n, you need to calm down."

I abruptly stood up, causing the chair to fall over.

"How can I be calm down when everything in my life is going by like a blur! We got married, had sons and now those happy times are gone. Now are sons have been kidnapped, my parents are trying to kidnap me and give me to Zalgo, Zalgo wants me to produce a heir and now he's part of my family. How can I calm down when that's happening!?"

Jack stared at me with wide eyes as his claws were held up in a defensive manner. When some of the tension was gone, he tried to lay his claws on me but I backed away and held my head in my hands. Jack immediately came closer and stared at me through his bangs. "Y/n, I know you've been stressed out lately but please calm down. Just breathe in and out and imagine a happier time when everything was good."

I followed my husband's orders and closed my eyes and began to breathe in and out in a rhythmic manner. I felt Jack's claws go to my shoulders as he began to rub them. I imagined him and I with Laughing Kyle and Laughing Jack Jr., running and having fun with laughter echoing around us. But suddenly that thought drifted away and was replaced with a more sinister one. This thought was more evil than anyone could imagine, or at least I could imagine. This thought shouldn't have even come to my head. This thought was of me dying, blood running down my body as it stained my clothes and my entire being. Jack ran at me, arms outstretched as he caught my falling corpse. Gently laying me down, his eyes were filled with tears as he caressed my cheeks with his claws. My hand shook as I reached up and touched his claws, tears running down my pale, cold cheeks. "J-jack."

"Yes, my love?"

"I want you to know that I love you."

"I love you too, Y/n."

"No, I love you more than the world can imagine. My love can't be expressed through anything because I love you that much. Even saying I love you in the most meaningful way can't express my deepest love for you that I feel in my heart. But right now that love can be expressed now in my time of dying."

"Y/n, please! You can't leave me! Our family needs you, the world needs you, I need you."

His crystal-like tears fell onto my face and seemed to mingle with mine. "I love you so much, Y/n."

He held me closer as he said that message to me. A smile tugged at my lips so I replied with "I love you too, Jack. I love you more than any amount of stars in the sky or how many pieces of candy you eat. Goodbye, my Monochrome Jack-in-the-Box."

"No, Y/n!"

Too late. My hand slipped from his claws and fell to the ground with a loud thump. Jack cradled my dead body and cried harder, his sobs echoing around us. 

I snapped open my eyes to see Jack in front of me with concern written in his eyes. I quickly jumped at him in a hug and repeated over and over, "I'll never leave you. I'll never leave you, I promise."

"Y/n, what are talking about?"

"I won't leave you ever, Jack. I love you too much."

Jack wrapped an arm around my head and began to stroke my hair as he consoled me. We rocked back and forth slightly as he whispered in my ear, "Shh. It's okay, Y/n. I know you would never leave me even in death."

"Really? You know?"

He nodded. "You love me too much to do that as I love you too much to do the same." His black lips formed a small smile as did mine. "I love you, my Monochrome Jack-in-the-Box."

"I love you too, my Sweetest Candy."

We leaned in and kissed, small hearts seeming to erupt around us. We pulled away and smiled at each other, comfort enveloping us. "Let's get to bed, Y/n. We both need the rest and besides we can discuss this child news."

I held Jack's hand as we walked to the bed, quickly changing into our night clothes. As we got comfortable in the covers, Jack pulled me to his chest and kissed my forehead. "Goodnight, my Y/n. Sweet dreams."

"Goodnight, my Jack. Sweet dreams to you too."

We both fell asleep in each other's embrace, love sprouting around us and in our dreams.
