Katelynn had tried avoiding Jack for a while, scared of seeing what he would think about the news. Instead, she decided to take up Vycter’s offer of going into space for a news report, and had gone seeking him out, not even knowing he was her boyfriend’s biological father. She hadn’t made the connection when they had met but when she saw him she did.
Jack hadn’t even bothered to tell her and it hurt. Did he not trust her?
Yet at the same time she was holding her own bit of information. Two things now. She groaned, walking into her apartment, a home pregnancy test hidden in her purse for her to use. She was extremely nervous but decided to get this over with and find out.
Heading into the bathroom, Katelynn does the test and waits anxiously for the results.
Jack had locked himself away in his apartment, sculpting. Well, not sculpting. He had made scissor spiders. Something he tended to do from time to time when he felt a bit on edge.
And he felt on edge. Katelynn could be pregnant. She could be pregnant with his child. But they had only just gotten together a month ago! How could he even think of supporting a baby, with his salary? He barely made enough to get by with his apartment and living expenses. And babies are expensive.
One good thing? He didn’t have to worry about what his parents thought. They weren’t married at all. And they’d adopted him.
But still.
Pregnant.
He sets to making another scissor spider.
