A Beautiful Conclusion ~ Jachary

Explanations Or Excuses?

Jack's POV

I wiped my eyes, really not believing this but it's real.

Jack: I was just going to go, it's okay.
Zach: No, I said you have 2 minutes.
Jack: Zach it's okay, I get it, I'm leaving now.
Zach: Can you stop being stubborn for once and just talk?
Jack: Can we maybe do it somewhere else and not here?
Zach: Well I have the appointment and I know Jonah set this up, so you might as well come in with me.
Jack: Are you sure?
Zach: Certain, we can go in together, then we can talk back at the bus but don't think I've forgiven you because I certainly have not.
Jack: Understood.

The doctor called him in and I wanted to grab his hand but that was probably pushing it too far. It was as if he was reading my mind because seconds after I had the thought, he grabbed my hand. What kind of sick joke is he playing? My feelings aren't just available for him to mess with, this is so unfair. We both took a seat in front of the doctor's desk.

Doctor: Zach, you're here for an ultrasound correct?
Zach: Yes I am.
Doctor: And this must be the father, nice to meet you.
Jack: Nice to meet you too.

I felt so awkward, I definitely shouldn't have come in here. The doctor was setting up the ultrasound and I blankly followed Zach to the bed. I couldn't think straight or even process what was happening, everything was a blur. After a few short seconds I had every flashback possible, Zach and I, our awkward relationship, Daniel being unwell, Zach and I having a decent relationship. My thoughts started to turn into a blur, me forcing Zach to choose between me and the baby, everything going downhill until darkness overcomes me.

4 Hours Later

I slowly opened my eyes and found myself staring at bright lights, quickly shutting my eyes again I let out a groan. I hear a gasp and heavy fast paced footsteps on a vinyl floor. The only sounds that filled the room were beeps from some sort of monitor. I slowly opened my eyes again and looked around as much as I could, I wasn't in a house or at the doctors that's for sure.

Zach: Jack, are you okay?
Jack: What are you talking about? Where am I?
Zach: You're at the hospital, you kind of passed out.
Jack: What happened?
Zach: The doctor told us some news you clearly didn't want to hear.
Jack: I can't even remember, I might've blacked out before then.
Zach: Just get some rest, we can talk about it later.
Jack: But I want to know what happened.
Zach: Jack, later, you need rest.
Jack: Please Zach? I really want to know.
Zach: How about this, you rest, I'll go get something for us both to eat because I am starving and then we can talk about everything.
Jack: Okay, fine.
