Jade slowly opened her eyes to the sound of the front door slamming shut. She looked over next to her to see that Mason was sound asleep curled up with his teddy bear.
She slowly rose out of his bed and went to check on the baby. She twisted in her sleep but didn't make any moves to wake up.
"G?" She called out from the top of the stairs. The light and sounds of clattering pots told her he was home. She looked at her phone and saw that it was 4am.
"What are you doing?" She pulled him away from the stove, afraid that he might burn himself in his drunken state.
"I just want some food. Like breakfast" he replied trying to get back over to the stove.
She pushed him back and onto a stool, "I'll make it for you, just stay here." She pulled some Advil down from the cabinet and gave him two to take.
She pulled his face up to hers and opened his eyes. "Smoking again I see" he rolled his eyes and drank the water. He finished the bottle and asked for another.
Jade handed him another and pulled out some pancake mix. "Where'd you go?" She asked pouring the mix into the bowl.
"Out. To visit a friend. Ya know Jade, people are the fucking worst?" He hung his head over in disappointment.
"They claim they love you and then turn around to go and cheat. Then they have to audacity to want forgiveness-" Jade tried to listen to his rant while pouring batter into the pan.
"-when they tell you that the baby you've loved for so long isn't yours" Jade paused her actions and dropped the glass bowl in the process.
It shattered on the floor.
"W-what are you talking about G" she turned to face him. Tears streamed down his face as he held his head in his hands and sobbed.
"She lied to me. Said that she loved me, gave birth to my special baby boy. But he isn't mine. She fucked with my feelings and wanted forgiveness. I'm going to fucking kill him" Jade stood by his side and hugged him tightly.
"Who are you talking about"
"Dani! Have you not fucking caught on yet? Fuck!" She flinched and stepped back.
Jade knew that Exavier was lying when he said that he didn't knock her up the first time.
She was afraid of what he could do, even though he was still in jail he was a dangerous man.
"Sorry..." she turned around and wiped her tears away.
She turned the stove off and began to clean up. "Jade...I"
She held her hand up and nodded, "I understand" he kneeled down next to her and pulled her in.
"No it's not your fault, I shouldn't be yelling at you" she wanted to tell him that she was working with Exavier before he got arrested but she already knew that he would take this news in the worst way possible.
All she had to do was feed him information, but she couldn't and she was now afraid of the upcoming results.
"It's okay..."
What happens next? Only two more chapters left sadly.
