It should seem strange, feeling a rush of fatherly protectiveness for someone who, technically, isn’t born yet. Jack knew it should feel strange – but now, in this moment, it felt exactly right.
[Text] Oh Gail, sweetie, I’m NOT going to give up. I know the future you come from hasn’t happened yet, but I feel like I already love you. I want to be your father, and Ulric’s. And I’m scared too. I don’t know how fixed time is, but you’re right, the fact that you still exist HAS to mean that there’s hope. I’ve stayed away from you and your brother until now, because I didn’t want to know too much about the future, but I think I was wrong to do that. If you want to talk to me or come see me, I’m always here. [Sends]
