Falling again (sequel to NGLS)

39.) When the Time is Right

Jack was staring at me and I felt more and more uncomfortable. He was dying to know what I knew about his beloved Kelly.

"Jack this is going to be really hard to say so please bare with me," I looked at Jack who was nodding his head," Kelly was behind Theo getting kidnapped." I squinted my eyes in fear that Jack would start raging at me and accuse me of lying.

"How do you know?" He asked calmly. His tone and overall reaction took me by surprise. I opened my eyes and took a deep breath.

"So the investigator I hired told me that the guy claiming to be Theos biological dad was sent a fake paper. So he was tracing where the paper originated from and that lead him directly to Kelly." I tried to sort out Jacks feelings but he was hiding them too well.

"If you think about it, Kelly knew Theo was outside while we were talking. It makes sense looking back on it." I added hoping that Jack wouldn't think I was jealous or something.

"I had no idea." Jack pulled me close to him and I rested my head on his shoulder. "I guess she wanted to set you up and make you seem like a bad mother." He sighed.

"Jack I'm so sorry that she lied to you during your whole relationship." I looked up at him and kissed him on his cheek. "It's better you found out the truth though. It will make breaking up with her a lot easier." I joked and Jack slightly laughed.

"Thank you for telling me." He looked down at me and smiled. He kissed me and I got all giddy inside. "I love you and only you." He said while he kissed me. I was in total awe. Jack made my heart melt in année way every day.

"I really love you Jack and I hope this will be the beginning of our lives together." I didn't mean for him to hear me babble on but he did.

"One day I will ask for your hand in marriage. One day." He hugged me with his one arm that was wrapped around my shoulders and kissed my forehead.

I felt like a little kid who received a puppy for their birthday. I was so excited. Jack said that he would ask me to marry him eventually which meant a lot to me. Jack and I have been through so much and here we are. Sitting on his couch, playing with our son and thinking of our future.

"I'm going to go call the devil." Jack got up and walked out of the room. I picked Theo up and tried to listen to what Jack was saying. I didn't want Jack to know that I was listening in on his break up call but I can't help being nosy.

"Kelly... we're done." Well clearly Jack's the type of person who rips the bandaid off. I could hear her yelling but I couldn't make out what she was saying.

"No this is not about her! You've lied to me countless times and I'm sick of it." Jack raised his voice and it startled me. Now my heart was pounding and I started shaking. What if Kelly comes after Theo? What if she tries to kill me? Thoughts flooding through my mind were causing me to go into a full blown panic attack.

"Kelly I know what you did to Bria. You set her up and I won't have it. If you threaten Bria or Theo again I will call the cops and have your ass locked up!" Jack calmly said into his phone.

If I were him I would strangle Kelly but hey, I guess Jack can handle his anger better than I can.

Jack was quiet for a few minutes which made me nervous. I peeped me head into the hallway to see Jack sitting in a chair with his head on the counter.

I walked out with Theo and made my way to Jacks side. "Hey are you okay?" I rubbed his back with my free hand as I took a seat next to him.

He didn't make a sound or move. "Jack it's for the best." I tried to reassure him but he clearly didn't want any bit of hope. Jack shot up and I saw his glossy eyes.
