Where We Want To Be. A LINSTEAD Story

Chapter 51

Jay's pov

"Jay im pregnant." She says and takes a deep breath before saying "And I don't think your the father."

What she said caught me off guard. How can she be pregnant? And what does she mean I'm not the father?

"Jay please say something." She says looking down a tear falling into her lap.

"Er I- I" I stutter not really sure how to respond. I'm still trying to process what she just said.

"Jay im so sorry." She says.

"Er this isn't your fault. But what do you mean I'm not the father?" I ask wanting to know why she thinks this.

"Jay do you not remember anything that happened in the past 3 weeks. I was kidnapped and raped Jay. Some other man raped me. It could have easily been him who got me pregnant." She says standing up and pacing around the room clearly mad I didn't realise that.

"Erin even though it could easily be someone else's it might not be. There is still a chance that I'm the father. We should go see will. He will be able to tell us. There are ways to figure out." I say stopping her and bringing her in for a hug.

"Jay how could we ever raise a baby that's not ours. How could I live with a constant reminder of that every single day." She says now in full out tears.

"Erin if this baby is not mine I don't care it's still ours. You are still it's mother and that means everything to me. I will still be it's dad even if I might not be it's biological father. It is still our baby. And Erin don't look at it as a reminder of what you went through. Look at it as a reminder of what you overcame." I say ending it with a kiss on her forehead.

"Jay I just- I don't know if I can." She says.

"Erin don't jump to conclusions yet alright. The baby could still be mine. We will go talk to will tomorrow and then figure things out from there alright." I say giving her a big hug.

"OK"

"No matter what I love you. Don't forget that." I say.

"I love you too. Thank you."

"Now why don't I go pick up some Chinese for supper. That always makes you feel better." I say standing up.

"Um Yeah just please be quick." She says

"Yeah i will be back as soon as possible. Love you" I say rushing out the door.

As soon as I get to the car I grabbed my phone and dialed Will's number.

"Jay what's up." Will says answering the phone

"Hey its kind of an emergency. So Erin just told me she is pregnant. Is that even possible? Did she not sustain serious uterine trauma and damage. How could a baby go through that and how didn't you guys not notice that when you were preforming surgery?" I quickly say into the phone

"Whoa slow down. Erin's pregnant?" Will asks

"Apparently, I also wanted to call you to make an appointment to go in to see you and nat tomorrow." I say

"Yeah you and erin can come in tomorrow morning at 10 o'clock. And it is possible but there is a very slim chance for a baby to survive what happened. Now we wouldn't have noticed anything with that much trauma going on and chances are the baby wasn't far enough along to be noticeable. Now jay there is a high chance that what happened was when Erin was raped there was some sperm that made its way to fertilize the egg late and the egg was just fertilized very soon before we were performing surgery. I'm sorry Jay but there is a high chance you are not the father of the baby if Erin is pregnant. But we will try and check that tomorrow." Will says tears starting to stream down my face as he explains the possible situation.
