Jacob walked into Connie's office, without knocking as usual, but seemed to startle her.
She had something in her hand which she immediately shoved into a draw and slammed it shut.
Jacob eyed her suspiciously and sat down on her couch, "everything ok?" he asked her.
"Mmm yes, everything is fine Jacob, can I help you?" Connie asked him after clearing her throat.
"We need to talk Connie, about what happened between us. Is been two months now and you're pretending like nothing's happened at all, we can't go on like this. We slept together for gods sake, then you'll barely speak to me, unless it's about work" Jacob said as he sat down on her couch.
Connie sighed, "it was a mistake Jacob, we don't need to discuss it, it's not going to happen again" she told him.
"A mistake to you maybe" Jacob muttered.
"And what's that supposed to mean?" Connie snapped.
"I love you Connie! It wasn't a mistake to me, I wanted it, I wanted you! I still do want you" Jacob told her.
Connie shook her head, "No Jacob, you don't want me" she said.
"And why not? Why wouldn't I want a beautiful, funny, head strong, amazing woman like you?" Jacob asked her.
"Because I'm pregnant" Connie said quietly without looking at him.
"Is it mine?" Jacob asked her as he stood up and made his way over to her desk.
Connie nodded, still not looking at him so he gently lifted her chin with his hand.
"I want you Connie, I want our baby. Please" Jacob begged her but Connie shook her head.
"You don't mean that Jacob, and I don't want you to feel trapped, feel like you have to support me, the baby. I'm going to raise him or her on my own, it's not like I haven't done it before" Connie replied.
"No! Connie that's my kid, I want to be part of his or hers life, I love you and our baby" Jacob shouted
Connie started to cry and Jacob felt the tears run down her cheeks onto his hand, "please sweetcheeks" he begged softly.
"What if it gets to much for you? You want out? I can't deal with that Jacob, deal with the heartbreak, our child couldn't either" Connie said.
"I'm not going to leave you Connie, I promise you that" Jacob whispered.
"Jacob" Connie started but Jacob placed his finger on her lips.
"Let me in Connie, let me be there for you, for our baby. Please" Jacob begged her.
Connie went silent for a second, then she looked at Jacob properly then nodded, "ok" she whispered.
Jacob smiled and pulled her into a hug as she cried into his shoulder, "I love you too" she said gently through her tears as he stroked her hair.
Connie pulled away from the hug then opened the draw and took out the thing she had hidden before Jacob had walked in.
She handed the scan photo to him and he smiled, "it's beautiful Connie, just like you" he said before gently kissing her lips.
Connie kissed his back and wrapped her arms around his neck as they explored each other's mouths until they needed to come up for air.
"Take me home Jacob" she said.
Jacob smiled then pulled her up from her chair then took her coat and helped her into.
He kissed her one more time then opened her door, "wait" Connie said before slipping her hand into his.
"Everyone's going to see" Jacob said, slightly suprised.
"I don't care" Connie replied as she left her office without letting go.
