Forced to Explain
Anna couldn’t say a word as she stood frozen.
“Anna…Anna who is that?” Jack asked stepping closer towards Taylor. Anna put her hands on his chest.
“Jack I need to talk to you.”
“Ok,” he said, confused as ever.
“Jack I..I lied.”
“About what?”
“About what happened with me and Lance.” Anna couldn’t hardly breathe. Jack’s face suddenly looked hard and protective.
“What do you mean.” It didn’t sound like a question.
“Jack, that’s my…my…Jack he’s my child.” Anna couldn’t hold back the tears any longer and she turned away from Jack.
“You mean…” Jack couldn’t finish his sentence as he put the pieces together. ”...that’s Lance’s son?”
It took all Anna had just to nod her head. Jack spinned her around to face him.
“Anna look at me.” She slowly dared herself to do so.
“Anna I’m not leaving you. Especially not now. I said I loved you and I meant it.” More tears fell as Anna realized how much of an Angel Jack really was.
“Jack,” she cried as he held her in his arms.
