Jack's Little Family: A Magcon Love Series Novel

Chapter 1

Maria's POV

I finally sat down. I've been up since 4am trying to get ready for my 7am flight. It wasn't easy getting a one month old out the door that early in the morning. I enjoyed having the whole row to myself until two teenage boys around my age came up and said "excuse me those two seats are ours, would you mind moving your stuff" says the one with dark hair. Since he asked so nicely I moved the diaper bag and book bag to the floor.

The dark haired boy sat next to me. Shortly after we took off he turned to me "hi my name is Jack and this is my best friend Jack", referring to the blond sitting next to him, "so what's your name?" "Maria" I said in reply "and this little guy is Jeremy". "So why are you guys headed to Omaha, Nebraska?" He asked. I replied "It's a long story." "Well we got plenty of time". So I start telling my story.

"Well it all started when my mom remarried after my dad was killed in Iran. So we packed up and moved from Ohio to Florida. It was the summer after my mom and step-dad, Robert, got married is when everything changed. My step-dad abused both me and my mother. More me then her. Then one night my step-brother was home for the weekend, he raped me in the middle of the night. Nine months later here comes little Jeremy. My mother and I would always 'be away' on business but we would be living in a local hotel. We would come back from 'trips' with empty suitcases. It only took us a week to completely gather all of our stuff. Plus another week to fill out paperwork so that my step-brother, James, can't contact his son. I left shortly after my step-dad found out my mom was filling for divorce. So she sent me to the airport, the reason why I'm on this flight, and she's going to China to live with a family friend."

"Wow, I can't believe you went through all of that" Jack says. "Yeah. I know and have no place to------" "you can stay with me if you want" he says cutting me off. "I have a spare room and bathroom, which I think is big enough for the two of you." "Thank you so much! I hope this is the start of something new".

Jack's POV

We landed about a half an hour later. We went to baggage clam and we got me and Jack J's suitcases plus Maria's two suitcases, big duffel bag, and stroller that matches the car seat that currently a sleeping Jeremy is sleeping in. Since we had so much luggage we grabbed a cart so we can carry it all. We went to my car that's sitting in one of the short-term lots. Me and Jack loaded up the car while Maria hooked up Jeremy's car seat.

And then we were off to drop off Jack at his house. While I was getting Jack's suitcase Maria got out of the back then moved up front to shotgun. I got back in the drivers seat and drove up the road to my house, since me and Jack live on the same street since we were little. "So, what would you like for dinner? It's my night to cook so I wanted to ask your option." "I like most anything but pizza sounds good. Oh I can help you make dinner if you want" says Maria.

"It's fine. We can just order from this really good pizza place that I've known since I was little." Then Jeremy started to wake up and fuss a little and Maria looked back and said "it's ok little guy we're safe here. Don't you worry mommy's going to protect you." As if like magic he stopped fussing and started making cooing noises and little bubbles. "How did you do that?" I asked. "He likes the sound of my voice. Plus whenever my mom was gone for a long period of time I would stress out a little thinking something happened to her, he would get fussy until I tell him everything is going to be alright." Wow. I never knew that. Apparently the saying is true, you do learn something new everyday.

"We're here", I said as we pulled into the drive way. I notice that none of my family member's car are here so I guess it's just me, Maria, and little Jeremy tonight. I unlock the door and lead her into my house. "Wow. It big. So where's my room?" "Here I'll show you" I said as I went through the the living room. "Its the door to your right at the end of the hallway. This one is my room" I said referring to the door with a J on it at the other end of the hallway. We spent the next two hours unpacking all of her stuff, eating pizza, and setting up Jeremy's crib. What could go wrong?

Maria's POV

Everything could go wrong. My step-dad could try and find me. James can come after me with wanting to see his child. I don't want to deal with both of them. I hope they never find me or my mom.

I was playing with Jeremy when I heard a knock on the door. "Yeah?" "Hey it's me. can I come in?" "Yeah. It's your house isn't it?" With that Jack came in and sat with me on my bed. "Your so good with him." "Yeah, do you want to hold him?" Wthout waiting for a response I sat Jeremy in Jack's arms. Jeremy warmed up to Jack real quick so I leaned back.

If someone was to take a picture of that moment, it would look like Jack was the father of the baby and not some random dude. I was glad Jeremy looked like me instead of James. I wouldn't be able to handle looking into his face and seeing James in him.

Jack's POV

I know she was scared. And quite frankly I'm scared too. But when I was holding Jeremy everything seemed right. He needs a father figure in his life. Hopefuly I can fill that spot. I'm going to need all the help I can get from Maria and my friends. This is like my little family.
