Why Dunn

Jack placed his hand on Anna’s.
“Can I ask you something?”
“Sure,” she said mindlessly looking at Taylor.
“Why Dunn?”
“What?” Anna looked up at him.
“Why did you make his last name, my last name?” Jack said looking at nothing but Anna’s eyes.
“I don’t want Lance in his life. Ever. But he needs a father…and if I gave him your last name he might grow up thinkin-”
“That I’m his father,” Jack finished.
Anna nodded. “That is, if it’s alright with you.” she said quietly.
Jack smiled & kissed her, “It’s perfect.”

“It’s late,” Anna commented after she was sure her heart rate had gone back down, “we should get some sleep.”
“Well tomorrow is Saturday so if you want we can go shopping for your clothes and for Taylor some clothes too.” said Jack, always thinking of others first.
“Well I brought a suitcase full of Taylor’s clothes. I didn’t think to bring some clothes for me. But tomorrow we will need to look for a daycare center for Taylor during the week.”
Jack smiled “You’re cute when you concentrate.”
