A Months Notice

Chapter Thirty

Jack was gone and Katherine was bored ... She should have gone on that damn trip ... Was it to late ? Maybe ....

She ran to the phone and called Daveys number .

"Hello ? David Jacobs"
"Davey it me Katherine, can I talk to Jack ?"
"Sure .... Jack ! Katherine's on the phone for you "
"Hello ?"
"Jack !! Hi "
"Hello ? Is this important? Because I need to get on the plane"
"Oh a plane ? When are you leaving ?"
"We don't take off for another hour why?"
"Is it too late for me to join you ? I mean I can be there in like 20"
"I don't know Katherine.... We need -"
"But you offered me earlier and told me if I changed my mind and all "
"Katherine, -"
"No ... It's fine .... I understand ... Have a safe flight "
"Katherine!"
"I gotta go " Katherine the hung up .

She wasn't pregnant and she wasn't with the man she loved . Katherine put her hand on her stomach "please God !" She said and holding onto her cross .

She picked up her bible and began to read it .
"Yet you brought me out of the womb ; you made me trust in you even in my mother's breast . From birth I was cast upon you ; from my mother's womb you have been my God -

Psalm 22:9-10"

Katherine went further into the bible .

"For you create my inmost being ; you knit me together in my mother's womb. I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful , I know that we'll .

Psalm 139:12-14" Katherine the. Flipped the pages .

she figured she would pray and it would happen.

••••••••••
Jack handed Davey back the phone and sighed .... He should have invited her , dammit ! He was a fool !

He should have , but he didn't . True he needed to get to Iowa on time but he could have her come still . The plane didn't leave for an hour and she would be here in like 40!

••••••••••

Jack went to Iowa , did the photos and all . Signed papers , laughed with people , had a drink , smoked a cigar and after two days they were on their way back home .

Katherine was sitting in the gazebo in the garden reading a book .

Jack walked over to her with a small box in his hands .

The swing chair she was in was nice against the April breeze . Her dressed flowed around her .

"Hey " Jack said Katherine looked up and rolled her eyes .

"What , what's that for ?" Jack asked sitting on the chair across from her .

Katherine picked up her tea and sipped it while looking at Jack . She turned the page and continued to read .

"Katherine? What's wrong ?" Jack asked her .

"Nothing " she said and went back to her book .

"I got you something "

"That's nice "

"Here .... I hope you like it " Jack said handing her the box .

She took the box and opened it . She saw a diamond bracelet. She shut the box and handed it to him .

"You can't make me happy with jewels " she said and began to walk off .

"My mom did !" He added running to her . Katherine walked through the gardens .

"That was different! I wasn't mad at her !" Katherine yelled at him .

"Why are you mad at me ?!" Jack said .

"You should know " Katherine snapped and began to walk to their room .

She climbed the palace stairs and Jack trailed behind her . "Come on ? Is it that I said no ? Cause if it is I'm sorry " Jack said grabbing her hand to hold .

"No ! It's because you let me hang up !" She said shaking his hand off of hers .
She opened the door to their room .

"What ? What do you mean ?"

"You didn't call me back ! You let me hang up ! Like you let me go ! Dammit Jack !" She said .

"Katherine I was under the impression that you wanted to be left alone !"

"What ? Girls never want to be left alone ! They want you to fight for them !" Katherine yelled at him .

"Katherine why would I fight for you ? Katherine come on ! "

"Why would you fight for me ? Really !"

"You're already my wife !"

"Oh god ! Your so stupid ! Don't you see !"

"See what Katherine?" Jack asked very annoyed .

"Nothing Jack ! Just nothing ! Leave me alone ! " Katherine yelled .

"Why do you want me to leave you alone yet fight for you at the same time " Jack asked .

He was beyond confused and annoyed and angry .... God dam was he angry ! Why did Katherine want all these things !

" I have my reasons Jack ! And if you can't see them then whatever!"

"Okay let me see this . If would have fought for you , and then I came back you wouldn't be mad at me ? Maybe you'd even have sex with me !" Jack yelled .

"I would not have sex with you ! I won't ever have sex with you again ! " Katherine yelled at him louder than he did .

"Yes you will ! I'm your husband dammit !".

Katherine slapped him across the face , Jack grabbed her by the waist and then she smashed her lips on his and they began to heavily kiss .

"Jack stop " she said as he started to kiss her neck .

"why ? I've missed you ?"

"I'm .... I'm pregnant "
