Chapter 11

I spent the next week in the hospital. The pains have started to subside and the doctors are happy with the progress. The baby is healthy and doing really well. Jake hasn't left my side. I finally managed to persuade him to get some rest. He's been sleeping in the chair next to me for the past couple of hours. He's been so focused on me that he's not been looking after himself. Now that I have started to get better I'm going to make sure Jake gets some proper rest. I know he only wants to make sure I'm okay but the way he's been going he's completely worn out.

The next couple of days everything is still looking good, the doctor is pleased with how I am doing and tells me I can go home. " I'm so happy you said that, I can't wait to get home to my own bed" I see a look of relief on Jake's face that the doctor is letting me go home. Later that afternoon Jake and I got home. It's such a nice feeling being able to be back. It feels like a lifetime since I was last home. "Now MC why don't you put your feet up and I'll get you something to drink" Jake is still trying to pretend he's got everything under control. "Jake, stop you go and sit down. I can make myself a drink. You're completely exhausted now go" Jake doesn't try to argue with me as he knows deep down I am right.

By the time I get back to the sofa Jake is already asleep, I grab the blanket off the back of the sofa and cover him up. I sat down next to him and put on the TV for some background noise. Not really paying attention to the TV I start to feel my eyes get heavy and I soon fall asleep cuddled up to Jake.

I don't know how much time passed but when I wake up Jake is not next to me, when I look at the clock it's 6pm. "Jake? Where are you?" I pull myself up off the sofa and go in search of Jake. As I make my way through the apartment I spot a note on the table that's from Jake.

Dear MC,

I've just gone to pick up some Chinese. I will be back soon.

Love

Jake

Xxxxxx

A smile spreads across my face. He's so thoughtful, I decided to go warm some plates up for when Jake gets back. After setting the table I grab a couple of candles and make it a little bit more romantic. After the table is set I walk over to the window to close the curtains and I see Jake talking to a woman I can't quite make out who she is until she turns around. Why the hell is he talking to her or all people why is he standing talking to Emma! I start to feel all kinds of emotions. Everything feels like it's hitting me all at once. He stood there talking to his ex. He's talking to her laughing and joking. I close the curtains and walk over to get my phone and send Jake a text.

MC: Hey, how long are you going to me?

Jake: Hey, I won't be long just on my way back

MC: I've set the table, do you want anything to drink?

Jake: please I'll have some juice, I will be home in 5 minutes X

I put my phone down on the table and walked back over to the window, pulling the curtain back a little. I don't see Jake standing there anymore. After a few minutes I hear Jake coming back, closing the door behind him. "I'm back MC sorry I was so long I'll explain everything in a second" I was completely taken back when Jake said he would explain everything. A part of me was expecting him to make up some lie or excuse but he didn't. He actually said he would explain. After the food gets plated we sit down at the table and start to eat. "MC, the reason why I was so long was because I ran into Emma. I wasn't expecting her to still be in duskwood after everything" I sat looking at Jake as he tried his best to explain what had gone on between them. "She said she's doing well and is seeing someone else. She told me she misses me and wanted us to try again but I turned her down. I told her that I am in love with you MC"

I was completely taken back by what Jake said. I was all prepared for an argument in my head. I was picturing slamming doors and crying. "You really told her that? Just when I thought I couldn't love you anymore than I already do." Jake smiles and takes my hand in his and gives it a light squeeze. "I really did MC, I never really loved her deep down I knew it was a mistake the moment I asked her to marry me" I start to feel my heart rate slow down and my body starting to feel at ease with what Jake has told me.

As the weeks pass Jake and I grow even closer together with the arrival of the baby approaching we have started to sort the spare room out and get it decorated. We decided to go for an ocean theme. Jake painted the walls an ocean blue colour with a hint of green on the blue. I draw on the walls sketching out different animals. After I get done sketching the last little details on the fish I feel Jake's arms wrap around me. "Hey, I brought you something to eat and drink, I thought you could use a break" I turn to face Jake and kiss him softly on the lips and smile. "Thank you babe, I could use a break" I follow Jake into the kitchen when there is a knock at the door I shout to Jake telling him I'll answer it. When I open the door there is a box on the floor with a note sticking out the side of the box.

I pick it up and look at the note it's addressed to Jake. "Jake there was a box with this note left for you" I hand the box to Jake and he looks at the note, all the colour drains from his face. He hands me the note and I read what it says.

To my darling Jake,

It was so good to see you the other day. I love you just as much as I have ever done. I hope you enjoy the gift I bought you until we meet again my handsome man.

Xxxxx

I drop off the note onto the table Jake opens up the box and inside is a dozen red roses petals. "Jake what's going on? Is this some kind of sick joke" Jake sits down on a chair and looks at me with pure shock. "I don't understand what's happening!! Please MC you have to believe me" the look on Jake's face says it all. "It's from her isn't it? Why is she sending you gifts? Before Jake could even respond his phone buzzed. He pulls out his phone and it's a text from her.

Emm: Hello babe, hope you liked the little gift I left you I will win you back love you always Jake. Xxxxx

"you don't owe anyone anything" You are a tar pit. Speak for yourself. I personally owe the cafe employees my dishes put away and my friends a listening ear and small scared insects a cup and a gentle trip outside. Hyperindividualism is a rancid infection borne of capitalism and willfully misinterpreted therapyspeak and I will defy it by continuing to be kind regardless of whether or not it benefits me personally

[phantomrose96]

You can be talking to someone and she'll be like, "Oh I made a silly mistake. Women don't deserve voting rights teehee." And you'll be like, "What." And she'll be like, "Oh I'm sorry! That must sound so bad out of context. No it's this Tiktok meme where, if you're a girl and you do something dumb, you say 'Women don't deserve voting rights teehee.'"

And you'll be like, "That sounds bad." And she'll be like, "No no. It's totally not that bad. It's just a meme. Men say it too. Like if a man does something silly he'll be like, 'I am like those women who do not deserve to vote.'" And you'll be like, "Does that make it better?" And she'll be like, "Well there was one guy who tried to make 'Men shouldn't vote' a popular meme. But it never caught on and also he got yelled at a lot."

And then you drop it there because like, you're harshing the vibe.

the love was there. the love changed everything. the crowbar helped also

'ao3 needs a like and dislike button'

what you need, my algorithm-rotten minded friend, is a grip

[teaboot]

Yeah Mr. Darcy’s proposal was a complete turd and a half but you gotta understand. You got your life together. A good career, stable income, retirement plan, all that shit together. And you meet this girl. And she’s everything. Clever, outspoken, funny, calls you on your bullshit. Grade A cutie, right? And she doesn’t go out of her way to spend time with you but she’s nice, and sometimes you catch her looking your way in a way that makes you think you might have a shot.

But her family. Holy shit.

First off, it’s p much ALL women, and mostly UNMARRIED women, which at this time means of something happens to her dad then you’re financially responsible for like. Four grown ass adults, potentially forever

Because mom in law is DEFINITELY gonna need someone to take care of her when dad in law kicks it, and they have like. NO money. So already you’re accepting that if all goes well, you’re gonna be one random old bag’s retirement home. That’s expensive and exhausting, yeah? Imagine asking someone on a first date knowing that if they say yes and things go good her high-strung chihuahua mother is gonna move in with you. IMAGINE.

And girly’s other sisters. Well, one is a sweetheart, yeah, so she probably won’t be an issue, but that still leaves three more, and two of those ones are INSUFFERABLE. Never went to school, dumb as rocks, spend cash like it’s toilet paper

And while one of the two is young still and might grow out of it the OTHER one is actively torpedo’ing her entire family’s reputation by wandering off with random dudes and chasing ass. She’s never gonna work, she can’t build connections, she’s a fucking sinkhole, and she’s being led on by the same goddamn con man ass leeching tit who’s been bleeding you dry while telling anyone who’ll listen that your family is full of ratty thieving bastards.

And if he dumps her after a week- WHICH YOU KNOW HIS BITCH ASS IS GONNA- you’ve got a SECOND UNMARRIABLE GROWN ASS ADULT TO PROVIDE FOR. And you KNOW she’s gonna be a tantrum-throwing little shit about it, and it’s not like you can lock her in the basement or something, you’re gonna have to bring her fucking. Everywhere. And give her an allowance and shit while she contributes zero, because again, she NEVER GOT EDUCATED AND HAS NO MARKETABLE SKILLS. She’s not even good to TALK to. FUCK

And you’re looking at this girl’s father like “please for the love of fuck get your spawn under control, marry them off, get them working on their résumé, learning to sew or be nursemaids or manage staff or SOMETHING, yall got no money and one foot in the grave” and that old man just laughs like “haha yeah, what can you do. lol”

So you’re looking to the mom and finally it’s making sense how she got that twitch in her eye and as MUCH as she is you’re starting to realize she’s the SMART one, desperately throwing her armloads of girls at random men like they’re a bunch of fucking lifeboats bobbing around a sinking ship, like yes Jesus Christ sweetly that life boat IS old and ugly and kind of boring but for FUCKS SAKE PICK ONE

And you look back at this girl who is ALSO REFUSING THE LIFE BOATS BY THE WAY and god damn it she’s still the most radiant thing you’ve ever seen so fine, fuck it, Christ alive, you’ll do it. You’ll shoot your shot. She’s everything you’ve ever wanted in anybody abut it’s not even just about that anymore, it’s about being her best fucking shot at a future, and even if she doesn’t like you all that much she’s still gonna say yes and that might break your heart a bit knowing it’s about the money but who knows, maybe it will at least be civil, or companionable, and even if she doesn’t LOVE you at least you’ll know she’s well and cared for

And so you’ll do it. You’ll take on the neurotic stress mess mother in law, the absent father, the broke ass wingnut no brain no money no future airhead sisters, the bad mannered relatives and the embarrassing behaviour and the impending future of sharing your entire shit with a clown parade of freeloaders, you’ll risk it all and accept the absolute certainty of financial ruin and emotional exhaustion for the rest of your whole ass life and you’ll make your own family deal with it too, you’ll do it, you’ll fucking DO IT, you stupid lovesick motherfucker

And so you go to this chick like “look. Your whole family’s a shitshow. You’ve got fucking nothing and you’re gonna die on the street. But for some reason- and I don’t get it either- I’ve fallen in love with you, and I wish I didn’t, but I did, so I’m telling you that whether you like me or not, I’ll give you everything. I’ll give you everything even if it’s the dumbest shit I ever done. Fuck my stupid Baka ass, I’ll marry you.”

And she looks at you- having heard or considered absolutely none of your months-long internal debate and monologue- and goes “The fuck did you just say about my family, you son of a bitch?”

And the shock of that is enough to jolt you back into a reality where you are able to actually hear and process what just came out of your damn mouth And yeah

Yeah, I think I kinda get it

Chapter 12

I take the note from Jake's hand and read what it says, as I read it I can feel the anger rising up inside me. Jake is standing there totally stunned. He watches as he tries to speak but the words won't come out. "Jake, what's all this about? I thought you said she wasn't sticking around duskwood. Isn't she supposed to be leaving with Mr boring? Jake?" Jake sits down on the chair, the colour slowly coming back to his face. "I don't understand this isn't happening, she's not going to destroy our lives like this" Jake slams his hands down onto the table so hard the coffee mugs fall onto the floor. I've never seen him this angry before.

I walk over to him placing my hands on his shoulders forcing him to look at me, "Jake, I know what's happened is a shock but you need to calm down. We will work this out together" I reach across the table and take Jake's hand. "What am I going to do MC? She's not going to stop until she gets what she wants" I give Jake's hand a light squeeze and smile at him. I see a tear running down his face and landing on his t-shirt. My heart breaks to see him like this. I get up from my chair and go to sit on Jake's lap wrapping my arms around him. I feel him nuzzle into my chest, the tears falling thick and fast from his eyes. "I'm sorry MC, I'm really sorry" I hold Jake closer to me and hold him tightly not letting him go. "It's okay baby, it's okay everything is going to be okay I promise"

The week passes without any more surprises Jake is starting to feel more like himself again when we get back home from the hospital after a scan there is another box outside our front door. "Jake, there's another box outside the front door look" Jake stops in his tracks and looks at the box this one is slightly larger than the first one. I see the anger already on his face as he walks over to the box and picks it up and looks at the note pinned to the top.

To my darling Jake,

How I have missed you so much I know it wasn't your fault at our wedding, I want you to know that I forgive you and love you more than anything.

Emma

Xxxxxx

P's I hope you like your gift ;)

Jake took the box into the apartment and placed it down onto the table, grabbing a knife from the kitchen drawer he sliced open the box putting the knife down he slowly opened the box up. "I'm right here babe, I'm not going anywhere" I squeezed Jake's hand lightly and he opened up the box. Inside was a brown bear with a heart on its chest. Jake's hand starts to get tighter around the bear's neck, his face turning a shade of red. I rush over and take the bear from his hands and throw it into the bin. Jake grabs his laptop and starts to press a few buttons. I see a smile appear on his face. "Got ya, now I will know where you are and what you are up to I will be one step ahead of you at all times"

I walk over to Jake and sit down next to him and take his hand in mine. "What have you done Jake? Have you done what I think you have done?" The smile just keeps getting bigger and bigger on his face. "Yes I have MC I've put a tracker on her phone and I'm tracking all her activity when she goes online" I haven't seen Jake this happy in awhile it's nice to see him smile again. "What do you plan on doing now? Will she ever be stopped? I can't take her interfering in our lives much longer Jake" I could feel the anger building up inside me. I've been staying strong for Jake's sake but I just can't do it anymore. "Don't worry MC I will think of something to catch her out. I just need some time to think that's all"

The tears start to flow down my cheeks, unable to control any of my emotions I feel Jake's arms wrap around me holding me close. "I'm right here MC it's going to be okay I promise" after a while I start to calm down Jake hands me a glass of water and sits down next to me on the sofa. "I know all this is a lot right now MC but I want you to know that it will be okay" I look into Jake's eyes they are filled with so much love. "I have every faith in you Jake I really do, it's just a lot to take in especially since the baby is due in a couple of weeks."

I feel Jake's lips miss the top of my forehead and squeezing my hand lightly, "I'm not going to leave you alone MC you and the baby are the most important people in my life" Jake's words wash over making me feel so safe and loved. The next few days Jake has been glued to his laptop and he's been tracking Emma's movements. She's been to several different shops, nothing was really standing out until she made a visit to a back street jewelers. After getting dressed I walk back out of the bedroom and see Jake with his face practically pressed up against his screen. "Jake what on earth are you doing? Sitting that close is going to hurt your eyes" I walk closer to Jake and sit down next to him putting my hand on his shoulder. "MC don't do that you made me jump, what's wrong?" Look at Jake with an annoyed look on my face. "You know what's wrong, I called you from the bedroom. I saw how close you were sitting to this laptop. Have you been here all night? Please don't tell me you have been staring at this stupid screen all night."

I knew the answer before Jake even responded. Of course he has been sitting here all night. It's like an obsession with him. He wants to know where she is 24/7. "I'm doing this for you MC, I'm doing it for that baby growing inside you I'm trying to get as much proof as I can" Jake gets up from his seat and goes over to the coffee machine and pours himself another coffee. "I know why you're doing this Jake but to stay up all night like this it's not healthy" Jake just frowns at me as if I don't know what I'm talking about and he's always right. "Look MC this is something I have to do, if I don't who knows what he's going to do next I can't risk anything happening"

The look of fear in Jake's eyes just says it all and my heart breaks, "look Jake I do understand I really do it's just maybe you could not sit up all night I missed you last night Jake" before Jake could respond there was a knock at the door info to answer and there is a delivery man standing there with a parcel. He hands me the parcel and I sign for it thanking him and closing the door behind me. "What's wrong MC? What's inside the package?" Jake's words just wash straight over me as I open the package inside is another note and a small box.

To the one that stole my man,

I just wanted you to know that I will have Jake. He will come back to me no matter what, he needs to be with me. He loves me and I love him. Pass this gift onto him. I just know he's going to love it.

I open up the box and inside is a silver necklace with a heart locket inside the heart is a picture of Emma and Jake kissing. Jake takes the note and box off me and looks over what she's sent. I feel everything inside me starting to rise up inside me, all the anger I feel towards this woman for what she's doing. At that moment I let my anger get the better of me and I grabbed my keys and jacket and went to get into the car. Before I can even open the door Jake grabs my hand and stops me in my tracks. He can see how upset and angry I am. He puts his arms around me and holds me close to his chest.

Jake manages to convince me to go back inside as we are walking back inside Emma comes out of nowhere and grabs hold of Jake's hand. "My love, I've missed you so much I know you are only staying for the baby's sake. I want you to know that we can have all this, we can have a baby together, me and you having the most amazing sex I've ever had." Just when I thought I was starting to calm down I started to see red and move towards Emma. I ball up my fist move it back and swing it towards Emma's face punching her in the face. "Don't you ever come near him ever again, he doesn't want to be with you he loves me not you"

Jake pulls me back slightly making sure that I am okay and not hurt in anyway, "Emma leave me alone I've made my choice I never loved you it was a mistake to even be with you" all the colour starts to drain from Emma's face as she tries to take in what Jake just said to her. She gets up and runs off around the corner not wanting to stay and put up more of a fight. Jake puts his arms around me and takes me back inside the apartment closing the door behind us.
