Jack POV

All I ever wanted in life was a true love, and I thought I had it when I was engaged to Kathleen, but I was wrong she's not someone who I know will always be there for me neither her sister.

I have been doing physiotherapy since I left the hospital, I need to get back on my feet, I feel like trash without my legs, without feeling them moving, these six months passed so fast, so much has happened , I think me a Jennifer drifted apart because of my accident and our baby death it changed me, it changed her, I'm not the same man I was and I think that's why she doesn't love me anymore.

Her parents have been staying here with us, and it's a torture. I really don't know what I did to deserve this.

My whole life changed, my house especially it now has a stair lift, and a annoying ramp at the front door, a fucking chair in the shower, bard round the toilet and less stuff in the high up kitchen cupboards, it just doesn't look like the same house I lived for the last two years.

At least Jennifer is still living with me.

She's not sleeping in the same room as me and it pisses me off, but at least she didn't abandon me, I haven't have a proper conversation with her for six months and two days, yeah I count, after our boy funeral she completely shut me down, she said she needs space, no matter what I do to try to change her mind it just doesn't work.

Our baby girl will leave the hospital today. For the first time in a while, and I'm extremely happy.

I hear a sound like a mewing cat, a baby giggling, they're probably home already.

I lift myself from the bed to my wheelchair and pushed myself downstairs.

I found Jennifer and her parents in the kitchen.

"Hmmm morning." I greeted.

"Morning." They replied like a choir.

"Can I hold my daughter too?" I asked Jennifer looking straight in her eyes. Damn she looked beautiful, her curly hair was in a ponytail, she was wearing a sunflower dress, and she looked happy. This is the first time in months I seen her smiling.

She walked towards me and gave me Ariel carefully, I inhaled her sweet cologne and looked at my little princess, I felt so relief and amazed that tears almost popped out, she's perfect.

She was making all kinds of really weird expressions that made me laugh.

Jennifer walked away and her parents followed her.

I could hear they talking. "Are you really going to stay with someone in his conditions?" Her father asked.

"What condition dad? Hmm the fact that he's in a wheelchair doesn't change the fact that I love him."

"But I thought that you- "she cut him off.

"Damn dad just because I asked you guys to stay here for a while doesn't mean that I agree with all the nonsense you two have been telling me."

"I just lost one of my babies I think I deserve time to morn!" She continued.

"But you said that you don't know if you still want to be with him anymore."

"And?" Jennifer asked.

"Mom, dad listen, me and Jack have been going through a lot this past months, I needed some space and he respected that, but it doesn't mean that I don't love him anymore or that I will leave him because he's in a wheelchair."

"You can't do that to our family girl." Her mom yelled. Actually they were all yelling it was impossible not to hear their conversation.

I see her parents coming back and I acted like I didn't hear anything. Lol who never did that.

They went upstairs and came back caring their luggages.

"John, Margarita is everything okay?" I asked, trying not to laugh.

"They gave me a death stare, and stormed out."

"Don't forget to close the door guys." I yelled.

I looked at my little girl who was laughing, I guess she also thought it was funny.

A sudden succession of shrill rings cut the silence.

I jumped up startled. Peering toward the phone, I hesitated for a while knowing exactly who it was.

I have been receiving weird, threatening calls for the past months from an unknown number, I would have picked up, but I really don't want to spoil my mood.

Jennifer came back, carrying a few baby toys.

"Hey , do you wanna help me giving her bath?" She asked.
