Staying Strong (Sequel to The Two of Us)

Chapter 20

*Jacobs Pov*

"Why are you getting so mad babe?!? I'm just gonna go hang with Jack and some buddies for a while. You're overreacting!" I said putting my pants back on.
"I don't want you to hang around with Jack! He made me loose my best friend and he's just ugh!! I hate him!" Lizzy yelled hysterically.
"Well you guys are cool now, aren't  ya?" I asked not really caring.
"I guess, i mean i don't really know.
Y/N's different now that Nate or whatever is in her life. Its like he doesn't care about her having her best friend back."
"Well i mean you've been good without her these past what, like two years?" I said.
"Uh, well in case you haven't noticed i've tried my best not to think of her. But i don't understand how she could be so selfish, making me choose between the both of you. She didn't even try to meet you."
"Well i'll always try to be here for you babe, alright." I said looking at her straight in the eyes.
"Yeah i know. I just...miss her sometimes. She used to trust me and now I'm like a complete stranger."
"Don't stress about it alright. Just like text her or something. She can't be with Nate all the time you know."
"I guess, but, i want her to be the one needing me. That's why i haven't contacted her or anything."
"Well, you ever thought that maybe she's doing the same?...I'm gonna go. I'll see you later." I said and walked out the door.
"Jacob can you stay with me...please?" She pouted in a sad tone.
"I wish i could but, i really can't. I gotta make money to pay for this apartment and since you got fired i have to work some extra hours." I said.
"But...you're going with Jack. That's not work." She said.
"Lizzy i really don't have time for this okay."
I gave her a kiss on the cheek and walked out the door.

I mean i would help Lizzy get her best friend back but, i really don't care about Y/N or if she and Lizzy have each other in their lives anymore. I mean it's not my fault Lizzy chose having me over her. I wasn't the one that made her pick.

Whatever.
I turned on my car and started driving to Jacks place.
...

"Hahahaha i can't bro." Jack was laughing so hard at what i had just told him he lost his breath for a second. "That girl literally has shit in her brain or something. You know i ask myself if she even does have a brain. In no fucking way whatsoever did i cause her to loose Y/N. Nah bro she did that all on her own cuz' she, just in her demented little mind thought, YOU, a boyfriend, were more important than a best friend. Heck that type of person can't even be called a 'type of friend'." Jack air quoted and took another puff out of his cigarette. "Y/N is being smart not calling her, you know she's so much better off without Lizzy"
I took a sip of beer and rolled my eyes at him.
"Yeah she can get so annoying about that topic...pff or any in general. But, i mean at least she's looking for a job to help me pay rent." I chuckled and took a sip of my beer. 
"And fucks you...But, i mean thats not really a big one, you can get laid by any other girl if you dump her anyways."
Well, he did have a point.

I loved Lizzy, i don't know if i still do. I know i care for her i guess. I'm not gonna dump her though she makes me happy in a way i think, even though she's just gotten so annoying since she saw Y/N.
One thing's for sure, she needs me way more than i need her.

"So any new plans with Y/N, or what?" I asked.
"Nah man. I still don't know if thats my son."
"Well are you gonna do anything to find that out?" I asked.
"I don't know....But, maybe here's where your girlfriend may come in handy." He smirked.
"What do you mean?" I was confused, but by the look on his face i could tell he had something up his sleeve.
"Have her call Y/N. Be the good boyfriend she left her for. Support her. The closer she gets to Y/N, the closer i get to her too."
"Uh, Y/N's not an easy person. She doesn't trust Lizzy, you realize this could take months."
"Yes i know! I know Y/N! I love her! And i don't care how long it takes!" Jack yelled and pounded his fist on the table.

*Y/N's Pov*

"Nate, i just made an appointment to take Noah to the pediatrician tomorrow. Do you wanna come?" I asked.
"Baby that's not even a question. Of course i'll be there. You and Noah are my priority."
"I'm just worried, since he was a bit premature."
"He was kind of small but, i'd say he's growing at a good rate." He said getting and apple out of the fridge.
"Yeah, but Nate, you're not a doctor."
"He'll be fine. Don't stress about it okay." He said and pecked my lips.

"Good Morning." I heard Benji say.
"Morning." Nate and I said at the same time.
"Bella's still not up yet?" Nate asked.
"Nope. Y/N can i play with Noah?" Benji asked.
"Yeah of course." I said and he smiled so wide.
"I can't wait to teach him to play baseball when he's older." He said.
I watched Benji run over to Noah's playpen and gently pick him up. I was making sure he was careful, my motherly instinct caused me to worry even though i knew he was safe in his uncles arms.

"We made a beautiful baby, didn't we?" Nate said as he wrapped his arms around me from behind.
"Yes we did." I smiled. Nate started leaving little pecks on my neck. "Stop it." I giggled and pushed him away playfully. He laughed and went back to the stove.

I walked over to the kitchen where Nate was making a grilled cheese sandwich. "So how's the restaurant going babe?" I asked sitting down on a stool.
"It's going pretty amazing. I mean we had some bad reviews in the past because of the night bar but, we're really picking it up. We've already been getting more people coming in since it's gotten back to breakfast and lunch." He smiled.
"Well thats amazing." I said enthusiastically. I knew Nate was so happy for this change because it was part of his moms life they were getting back, it was somethings i knew he had been needing.

"You know we're actually thinking about expanding. Maybe to the east coast and up Quebec. We have the credit now so maybe that'll be coming very soon."
"Oh my gosh, Nate i'm so proud of you." I stood up and wrapped my arms around him giving him a big kiss.
"And you know what I'm gonna buy you a big house, by the beach with a big backyard, and a nice front yard and all our kids can be running around."
"And exactly how many kids are we talking about here?"
"Psht. I don't know maybe like five, six, who knows seven."
"Ha! You're crazy if you think I'm gonna have that many kids."
"Aaw i think it'll be fun having a lot of mini us." He smiled innocently.
"Well, when you start pushing the mini us out if you we'll have as many as you want." I smiled.
"Ooh sassy."
"Proud of it babe." I winked and skipped away.
