"Pl-please" Mark begged, reaching his hand out to her, "You can't leave! Amy, I need you more than ever now!"

"I'm not risking my life for you. You're a sweet guy but clearly, you love Jack. I'm just the after thought, I really am" she said, grabbing her bag, "And I'm tired of being an after thought. I'm tired of taking care of you and getting nothing out of it. You never sleep beside me- never have sex with me. We barely spend time alone and when we do- you talk about him! This wasn't what I wanted. When we started to date, you only ever thought of me. You loved ME. But now? When he's come home? It's Jack Jack Jack. Well I'm tired, Mark. I ain't no baby sitter"

"Amy, please! I focused on him as he needs help to get better. I'm scared of losing him, especially after I caught him self harming. You know that scared me, you know that's why I'm scared of losing him. Please, believe me Amy" he begged again, "I love you, I really do! I don't love you any less it's just-"

"You love him more." She finished, correct or not, "I bet you're not even bi. You're just a gay idiot who wanted attention. You wanted mummy to take care of you. Well, now just like your dad, I'm leaving"

Mark fell to his knees, covering his face and started to weep uncontrollably. But she didn't care, and just left him there to weep.

His father died when he was still a teen, and it broke him. Ever since, he's been using little space to block out that trauma because other wise, he'd be depressed. Now all that pain and silent suffering is killing him.

He started to scream. At first, if was Amy's name. Then it was just general screaming. Mark didn't even notice the arms being wrapped his waist, being pulled onto Jack's lap.

Yeah all Jack knows is he was watching Game Of Thrones and then Amy slammed the front door. Soon followed by pained screams upstairs. But he can probably put the dots together. . .

"B-baby, baby boy, daddy has got you" he whispered, stroking his hair. He hasn't daddy him since he was taken. . . Mark wouldn't let him. But now he has to take of him by himself again. This isn't going be easy.

"Da. . ." he mumbled, "M-Mummy left like dad did, but less dead. . ."

Well that's a horrifying thing a child to say. It took a few seconds for Jack to get his composure back, "B-Baby, listen to daddy, your dad is still with ya. I know it doesn't feel like it but as long as ha remember him, then he's right here with ya, ain't he?"

Mark nodded softly, biting his lip. Then closed his eyes as he cuddles him.

"And Amy? She a stupid bitch if she left ya" he hummed, kissing him, "Because ya amazing, ya really are. Ya are MY Angel, she just doesn't see what's really on the inside. Ya pained, ya suffering. I know ya have held so much in, putting on a brave front for me but now the mask is slipping. . . I want ya ta get it all out"

But Mark just shock his head, causing Jack to sigh. Yeah he had a feeling he was going to say no. . . Mark doesn't like to cry in front of him. But he also shouldn't leave Mark alone, not in this state.

It wasn't easy but he was just about able to pick Mark off the floor and carry him to their shared Baby room. He plopped him down, "There we go baby, now ya can crawl about and play safely in here"

"Thank woo da. . ." he mumbled, crawling about for a bit. He just, curled up on his big Panda, becaise it made him feel smol and it was really comfy.

"Awe look at the tinny baby" he said softly, smiling for him, "So smol, so cute. Daddy loves his little baby"

It was hard for him to act happy in this situation. After all, what was there to be happy about? Mark's going to get depressed and he's not cut out to be a daddy anymore.

But what else can we do? Not like he can change her mind, and Mark won't want anyone else. Jack will just have to deal with the cards he was given and make the best he can of a bad situation.
