Baby Daddy

Chapter 5

General POV

Jess didn't know how to process everything. Her long-term boyfriend that she recently broke up with was raped and constantly tortured by the memories when he looks at his baby girl.

Jess didn't even suspect anything was wrong with him. He acted normally while he was recovering.

Jess felt horrible. All those things she said made it worse. Their fight played in her head as she drove to Spencer's place. Her old home... Her real home. With the person she truly loves.

Jess parked and turned the engine off. Jess took a few minutes to compose herself before she stepped out of the car. She walked the familiar path to the apartment that she used to live in.

Jess stopped shy of the door and pulled out her phone. She opened Spencer's messages that he sent since they split.

Various messages all read the same thing.

Please come back. I'm sorry

I'm so stupid. Come back.

Its not what you think. I'll explain.

Please.

Those were the ones she saw the most. Tears came to her eyes as she saw the most recent messages that came in today.

Jess, It's Spencer. I just want you to know that I understand how it may look but it's not what it seems. I didn't ask for this or for this situation to get between us. I never wanted a child with anyone but you. And next thing I know, I have one and I'm tossed back into a grave I just got out of. I was going to tell you everything, but I guess that doesn't work when I can't get ahold of you. I hope you get this because here goes nothing:

I love you Jessica. You are the best thing that ever happened to me. You were there for me even if you didn't know it. You were there for me after I was in the hospital and you nursed me back to my normal self. You were and still are the love of my life and I hope that you know that I never ment for this to happen.

I wasn't strong enough to stop her. She just came out of no where while I was outside and next thing I know, I'm reliving the pain of hurting you by not being able to stop her. I hate that I wasn't strong enough to honor what we had and I hate myself for not bring man enough to tell you that I was raped.

I was going to tell you once I came to terms with it all. I was talking to someone about it and I was still trying to process it all when that call came in. I had every intention to tell you that day but I never got the chance.

I'm sorry that all this happened. I'm sorry that I couldn't tell you to your face like you deserve. I'm sorry that you have to read my messages that doesn't express how much I hate myself for hurting you the way I did but this is as good as I can do.

I would be glad to hear from you if you can forgive me. I hope you can but if not, it's okay. I'm not going to hold you back with my problems. I want to know that what happened between us does not change the fact that you are my best friend and I will always be here for you.

Jess was a mess as she finished reading Spencer's message. He actually told her what happened and how he feels about the situation. She cried even more as she read the last message.

They were best friends before they started dating and they promised to be there for eachother no matter what. It hurt even more because Jess knew she broke their promise to each other. She should have known there was something else going on. She should have known that her Spencer was not a liar or a cheater.

Jess wiped a few tears away and shoved her phone back into her pocket. Jess knew what she had to do.

She walked up to the door and knocked. She heard a muffled voice and a high pitched cry as it got closer to the door.

Jess stood back as her heart raced. She was absolutely terrified of all the possible outcomes this may bring.

The door opened and revealed a face of someone she missed. There he stood with tossled hair with a baby in his arms.

His brown eyes locked onto her blue ones.

"Hey," Jess said.

Authors Note: thanks for the encouraging "please update" message @AngelShotgun123 . It really got me looking at new ways to move this story along. I apologize for the absences I've had from updating. It just crazy really quickly and I had to finish other things before I can write more. I'm hoping things settle down so I can update more. Its currently 12:14 am where I am and there is no wifi for me to publish anything. I've been writting this chapter for almost 3 hours and I finally got it done. Wifi is back at 9:00 am.
