"Jazz?!" Kate called out as she carried a bowl of nibbles from the kitchen, "what? " came the response from somewhere in the lounge, "he's here" walking towards the front door he softly answered his wife's comment "OK let's not talk about Dru OK I'm sure he'd like to keep his mind off her for a while" "OK I know" Kate replied while shooting him a look,before quickly opening the front door.
"Hey Jay come here I'm so glad you could come over" she smiled slightly pulling her brother-in-law into a direct hug, it was as clear as day that he was hurting but she knew better than to push it with him, he'll open up when he was ready.
"Hey bro gotta nice bottle of wine sitting over here in all its lonliness fancy a glass? "
"meh I dont suppose you have anything stronger? "
Jazz was a bit taken aback by Jays request but honoured it anyway by pouring him a small glass of Jack Daniels and handing it to him.
"Uhm sure, and uhm here's to a home cooked meal"
Whilest everyone was sat down Kate decided it was way to awkward and silent for what was supposed to be a small family meal so after slight hesitation she decided to speak,altho she was not fully prepared for what was to follow.
"so, how's things? "
Jay couldn't take the silent tension building up around him so answered the question put to him; "look I dont want anybody to feel awkward about me and Dru"
"Ha,uh why would we? "
"No not at all Jay its fine honest"
"I know she's afraid for us all as well as of us all"
"That's not completely her talking though Jay and you know its not, she knows you or us would never hurt her"
Jay nodded slightly before continuing;
"No i know its not,I mean I just wish she was talking, she's not answering her phone, I don't even know where she is"
Jazz looked up, he couldn't bear to see his twin looking this confused and hurt; "Jay dont stress it takes time to figure things out she obviously has a reason"
"Yeah well Jazz I feel like im running out of time!,Im afraid of what she might do out there or what might be done to her" as soon as the last part of the sentence left his lips Jay looked at jazz and Kate before looking down, Kate got up and approached her brother in law placing a sympathetic hand on his shoulder; "There must be something WE can do? " she spoke softly trying to keep her own emotions in check.
"Like what tho kate? Tell me am I missing something cuz im out there every night driving the streets, flashing between here and Hell trying to find her hoping that there's some way I can help her or I dont know talk some sense into her, I I'm sorry guys I cant be here pretending that she's not out there somewhere pregnant scared and alone,i im sorry im gonna have to take a rain check I. Just I'm really sorry" and with that he left leaving jazz and Kate alone and hoping that everything would play out ok.
"well, who's for food? "
"Jazz! seriously that's... Ugh fine let's eat"
"W what its going cold and im hungry"
Looking up at her husband's last comment she couldnt help but laugh;
"You're ALWAYS hungry"
Hearing her reply he felt childishly smarted;"That's not true!.. Oh wait hang on... Yeah it is"
A small laugh erupted from them before they returned to the kitchen to eat their meal.
