(Chapter 7) ( singing,kicking, and his mothers ring)
(A Week later )
Jack was cooking in the kitchen, I heard him singing to himself .
"Where did I go wrong?
You know I've never had a clue
I must have just been born no good
Bad's the best that I can do
Was it just my fate in life
To end up here this way
Lost and all alone
One more black lamb that's gone astray
Lonesome roads are the only kind I ever travel
Empty rooms are the only place I ever stay
I'm just a face out in the crowd that looks like trouble
Poor ol' worthless me is the only friend I ever made". He sang while cooking breakfast. Then I felt a thump inside me . I gasped,THE BABY! . I placed my hand on my belly, I felt it again. " JACK!!" I say excitedly. Walking hurriedly into the kitchen.
" What, what's wrong !" He says worriedly . I grab his hand and placed it on the right side of my belly. His worried look faded. The baby kicked again. Jack smiled. " jack I have a question, ... Would you like to be the father."? I ask . "You askin me to marry you"? Jack asked. "Kinda". I say. Jack walked to his room. " jack, wait". I say. I heard rustling through drawers and tossing things everywhere. I walked into the bed room . He found what he was after . He closed the door and pulled me close. " we gone do this we gone do it right. " he said. He looked me in the eyes and knelt down I front of me. "Will you marry me"? He asked placing his mothers wedding ring on my engagement hand. I smiled . "YES, YES, YES".!!! I say excitedly . He held me.
That night we were in the bed, half asleep. Jack's hands traveled down my body. I moaned. " don't start that, then I'll hurt ya." He says.
