CHAPTER 7

TRUST

Martha sighed as she felt the morning sun pelt down on her body,

“Mmm, hey” Martha said rolling over and looking into Jacks eyes,

“How long have you been awake?” Martha asked,

“About fifteen minutes” Jack said,

‘It’s amazing to wake up together again after so long” Jack commented,

“I know it feels like an eternity” Martha said,

“How you feeling?” Jack asked,

“Yeah I’m fine” Martha said “The sickness usually starts to hit about five” Martha said,

Jack looked at her sympathetically,

“Oh poor baby” Jack said jokingly,

“Poor baby” Martha said “Poor mummy more like it” Martha said,

Jack laughed at her,

“You got work today?” Jack asked,

“Mmm, at two thirty I get off at six” Martha said,

“Oh ok I start at three so I’ll drop you off on my way” Jack offered,

“Ok” Martha said,

“You wanna go down and get some brekkie?” Jack asked but then noticed Martha’s uneasy expression,

“What’s wrong?” Jack asked concerned,

“People are going to talk” Martha said,

Jack sighed he knew what she meant everyone knew everything about everyone and when a juicy piece or gossip turned up it was all everyone talked about.

“I know” Jack said “But we just won’t let it affect us” Jack said “We have each other and that’s all that matters right” Jack said,

Martha smiled he always knew how to make her feel better,

“Ok” Martha agreed standing up and making her way over to the wardrobe to get dressed.

Martha let out a long breath as she and Jack started to walk down the stairs, hands conjoined.

“Oh my” Colleen said as she saw the pair coming down the stairs,

Martha and Jack looked at Colleen,

“You should be ashamed of yourself Constable Holden Sam’s such a lovely young lady” Colleen said,

“What is going on here” Leah asked Colleen as she entered the kitchen and then noticed Jack and Martha with there hands conjoined,

“Oh” was all she could say,

“Disgusting” Colleen muttered,

“Colleen, table three now” Leah ordered,

“Yeah, yeah” Colleen muttered as she scurried off,

“I’m sorry guys” Leah said,

“It’s fine” Martha said,

“So” Leah said “You two”,

“It’s a long story” Martha said,

“Oh” Leah said,

“We’re pregnant” Martha blurted out,

“Oh” Leah said surprised

“But what about Sam?” Leah asked,

“We’re over” Jack said,

Leah looked at the pair, they were so meant for each other and everyone had known it but them before it was too late now people were getting hurt,

“Well you obviously came here for brekkie so go have a seat and I’ll be out in a minute” Leah said smiling,

“Thanks Leah” Martha said smiling,

“Come on” Martha tugged at Jack arm as there hand rejoined but the two topped in there tracks as they saw the person at the counter,

“Maybe we should go upstairs and have breakfast up there” Martha suggested but it was too late Sam had spotted them.

“Well if it isn’t the happy couple” Sam said sarcastically

“Sam please” Martha said trying to keep the peace but Sam wouldn’t hear it,

“No” Sam said “How dare you steal my husband” she said coming closer to Martha,

“It wasn’t like that” Martha said trying to avoid a fight,

“Then how was it?” Sam asked,

“Sam we love each other” Martha said “We’re having a baby” she said,

This just got Sam angrier,

“Yeah you’re having a baby because you slept with a married man but it wouldn’t be the first time would it?” Sam asked,

Martha gasped Jack had told her,

Martha looked over at Jack,

“You told her” Martha said hurt,

“Martha please” Jack said,

“Yeah he told me about that the abortion, I wouldn’t be so keen to trust he Jack if she can do it once she can do the same with your baby” Sam said showing her nasty side,

“Sam stop” Jack said as Martha got visibly upset.

“Yeah have a good cry” Sam said sarcastically as the tears rolled down Martha’s soft and delicate cheeks.

“If Jack can cheat on me with you he can just as easily jump back in bed with me as they say leopards don’t change there spots.

Martha’s eyes grew wide with anger,

“You bitch” Martha screeched as she lunged at Sam,

“Get off me you crazy bitch” Sam screamed as he pushed at Martha’s shoulders.

Through Jack’s eyes it was as if it was going in slow motion as he watch Martha fall backwards into the counter.

“Martha” Jack yelled dropping by her side,

“Get out of here I hate you” Jack yelled up at Sam as she bolted from the diner, he looked down at Martha who was visibly in pain,

“Oww” Martha screeched holding onto Jack “My stomach” she screeched,

“Call an ambulance” Jack yelled as he looked down at her…

“Jack sat in the waiting room in the hospital waiting for some news on Martha’s condition.

Tony was sitting beside Jack trying to console him.

“We were really going to give things a real shot” Jack told his father as he waited for news,

“I can’t believe Martha’s pregnant” Tony said,

Jack scoffed,

“Yeah neither could I but now she might it might not” Jack stopped,

“Hey don’t think like that” Tony said,

“Why not?” Jack asked,

Rachel made her way towards Jack,

“Rach, what’s happening?” Jack shot up.

“We’re about to ultrasound her to find out how the baby is she wants you there” Rachel said,

“Yeah sure” Jack said following Rachel into the room.

“Martha” Jack said as he rushed over to hug her.

“Jack” Martha sobbed “What if the baby...” she stopped,

“Hey Shhh” he said placing his finger in her lips,

“It’ll be ok” he said stroking her froe head,

Martha bit her bottom lip to prevent herself from crying…

“Ok” Rachel said preparing to do the ultra sound, she had initially been shocked about the whole thing but was now happy for the pair and prayed to Gad that she could soon tell them what they wanted to hear.

Rachel poured the gel onto Marta’s stomach and began to glide the stick over her stomach and like the previous morning the rhythmatic beat filled the room.

Rachel mouth turned into a smile as she turned the machine off and turned to the couple,

“You’re babies fine” Rachel confirmed to the pair,

Martha bit her lip, she had never felt this way before and there was something more important that her to worry about now. It was weird and she liked it.

She turned to look at Jack as he leant down and lightly kissed her lips.

“I love you” he said,

“I love you too” Martha said,

Jack smiled down at her and then stood up and looked at Rachel,

“Can I take her home?” Jack asked,

Rachel looked at her chart,

“She can but she needs rest” Rachel said seriously,

“Absolutely I won’t let her lift a finger” Jack said,

“Err” Martha moaned “I hate not doing anything” Martha moaned,

“Too bad” Jack laughed,

Martha pouted at him and laughed,

“Fine get me out of here” Martha laughed getting out of the bed…

“Martha walked through the door and made her way to the couch,

“You want something to eat?” Jack asked her as he walked into the lounge room,

Martha shook her head numbly,

“Hey what’s wrong?” he asked making his way over to her,

“How could you tell her those things?” Martha asked looking at him through hurt eyes.

Jack looked at her,

“I’m sorry” he said “I didn’t mean to hurt you” he said,

“I know” Martha said “But I told you those things cause I trusted you and you just went and told your girlfriend” Martha said,

“I wonder if I can trust you anymore” Martha said,

Jack’s ears pricked up at this comment,

‘Of course you can” he said sitting down beside her and grabbing her hands in his making her look at him,

“You know you can” Jack said,

Martha looked at him,

“Just tell me why?” Martha asked “When did you tell her, what for?” she asked “Was it just to show how bad of a person I am?” she asked,

“What no” Jack said “It was the day we kissed and Sam came in, I told her it just came out I am so sorry” he said looking into her eyes trying to regain her trust,

Martha nodded, deep down she knew she could trust him,

“I know you are” Martha said,

“Come here” Jack said brining her into his arms,

“I was so scared today Jack” Martha sobbed into his shirt “I thought that I had lost the baby” she said,

“I know me too” he said,

“I felt so angry with myself like somehow it was going to be my punishment for getting rid of my other one” Martha said as her delicate cheeks flushed as the crystal tears rolled down them,

“Hey it’s ok shhh” Jack said as he ran his hand up and down her back as he tried to soothe her.

CHAPTER 8

Signed, sealed and almost delivered...

Jack sat in at the bar at Noah’s it was midday and Martha had to work for a couple of hours so Jack decided he’d tag along two…

It had been three weeks since Martha’s miscarriage scare and every time Jack saw Sam he would just glare at her and walk the other way,

Martha had told him to talk to her but he refused every time she suggested it.

Martha was now ten weeks pregnant and to her dismay also slightly showing.

Jack had told her that she was beautiful and just looked slightly bloated which didn’t go down well as it was on one of Martha’s more emotional days as her emotions had been going up and down like a roller coaster.

Her body had started to change and she could recognize her waist line slowly but surely disappearing.

“Jack” Martha said softly as she looked over towards the entrance,

Jack followed her eye line until he saw the two figures standing in the door way,

“Jack” Rory said excitedly,

“Hey mate” Jack said as he made Rory made his way towards Jack,

“Rory no” Sam said sternly,

“But mum” Rory whined,

“Jack?” Rory said,

“Sorry mate it’s up to your mum” Jack said,

Rory looked to the ground,

“Rory” Sam said making her way over to see her son,

“Get off me” Rory said running out of the surf club,

“Sam looked up and scowled at Jack,

“Thanks” she said sarcastically,

Jack looked at her and huffed,

“Whatever” he scoffed as Sam bolted from the surf club.

“Anyway” Jack said “I got the Affidavit today” Jack said so no unexpected counselling” he laughed,

“Good” Martha said smiling then we an start a fresh” she said smiling,

“My thoughts exactly” Jack said leaning in and kissing her.

KNOCK, KNOCK,

“Comin…” Sam stopped as she realised it was Jack at the door,

“What do you want?” Sam snapped,

“Believe me I wouldn’t be here if I didn’t have to be” Jack snapped back at her entering the house,

“So what do I owe this pleasure?” Sam asked sarcastically,

“This” Jack said throwing the Affidavit down on the bench in front of her,

Sam nearly choked on her water as she realised what he was asking of her,

“Are you serious?” Sam asked,

“You’re out of your mind” she said,

Jack groaned,

“Please” he said,

“Why should I?” Sam asked,

“Because whether you like it of not Sam, we’re over I’m with Martha and we’re having a baby and I just really need to get this out of the way” Jack said,

Sam scoffed,

“This says that I refused to go to counselling” Sam said picking up the papers,

“I didn’t refuse” Sam said “You didn’t even ask me” she reminded him,

Jack rolled his eyes,

“You want me to go to marriage counselling with you?” he asked “It won’t change anything” Jack told her,

Sam shrugged,

“It helped you and Martha” Sam pointed out,

Jack inhaled deeply trying not to get into an argument,

“It helped us because we were meant to be together” Jack said glaring at her,

“You and me well you were just there when I needed someone, kind of a rebound thing” Jack said turning nasty,

“You told me you loved me” Sam said getting upset,

“I thought I did and I guess in a way I did but I was never in love with you” he said,

Sam grew angry and picked up the affidavit ripping it in half,

“I’ll sign the papers when the counsellor says to” Sam said,

Jack groaned,

“Whatever” he said turning to the door,

“Now you run along and tell Mrs expecting, oh wait that’s miss expecting” Sam laughed “and she won’t be a Mrs again for a long time if I have anything to do with it” Sam said cunningly,

“Stay away from me” Jack said before walking out the door.

Jack walked into the bar and flopped down on a stool in front of Martha,

“You ready to go my shift is over” Martha said, Jack looked up,

“I need a drink” he said,

Martha laughed at his comment.

And put a bottle of beer on the bar and he cracked it open and took a big swig,

“Care to tell me what happened?” Martha asked,

Jack looked up at her,

“She tore it up” Jack said,

“Oh well that would be dejavu for you wouldn’t it” Martha said trying to lighten the mood,

“What did she say?” Martha asked,

Jack swirled the bottle around before looking up at her,

“She said she won’t sign anything until we go to counselling” Jack said waiting for Martha’s reaction,

“What?” Martha asked looking at him,

“Why?” she asked “Does she think there’s a chance for you two still?” Martha asked worried that Jack might still go back to Sam,

“What?” Jack asked looking up and noticing her hurt face,

“No, well maybe but I don’t I never want to be with anybody except you and this baby and any others that may decide to come along later” he said,

Martha smiled at him,

“You sure?” she asked,

“Positive” Jack said,

“Ok” Martha smiled,

“Come on let’s go home” Jack said,

Martha smiled “Ok” she said as she picked up her bag and made her way around to him, holding onto his hand they walked out of the bar ‘together’

“You ok?” Jack asked as Martha lay on with her head on his lap,

“No my tummy hurts; Rachel said it’s round ligament pain,

Jack looked at her,

“It means my uterus is expanding idiot” Martha said laughing at his blank expression,

“I knew that” Jack said defending himself,

“No you didn’t” Martha laughed “Anyway that doesn’t matter” Martha laughed “I didn’t either” she added,

“Ah ha, so the truth comes out” he said,

“Anyway so we have our second ultrasound tomorrow at twelve” Martha said switching of the TV and looking up at him,

Jack looked at her with a look that said ‘please don’t kill me’,

“You forgot didn’t you?” Martha asked hurt,

“I didn’t forget it just slipped my mind” Jack said

Martha sighed “Well it’s fine just as long as you don’t have work tomorrow and you can come” she said,

Jack looked at her,

“What?” she asked

“The counselling sessions tomorrow at twelve” Jack said

“Oh my God Jack” Martha said,

“You can’t miss this” she said firmly,

“I know and I won’t” Jack said,

Martha sighed,

“Promise” she said looking at him,

“Promise” he said,

“Good” Martha said as Jack brought her into his arms and she snuggled down into his chest.

“I love you so much I just want this whole thing with you and Sam to be over” Martha said “So we can start the rest of our lives together” Martha said into his chest,

“I know me to and we will” Jack said to her,

“I promise” he said,

Martha nodded,

Jack held onto her never wanting to let go.

“Jack you said you would go today, what am I supposed to do just cancel it?” Sam asked unimpressed,

“Now there’s a brain wave” Jack said sarcastically,

Sam scoffed,

“I want to go today” Sam stayed adamant,

“Well I can’t sorry” Jack said,

“Why?” Sam asked,

“Because we have our second ultrasound today” Jack explained,

Sam snarled at him,

“So your blowing off our counselling, to go to your ex wife’s ultra sound” Sam said,

Jack looked at her,

“Look Sam” Jack said,

“Whether you want to accept this or not, we’re over and we’re not getting back together, so one way or another I’m going to get that divorce” Jack said,

Sam looked at him,

“Why did you marry me Jack?” Sam asked,

“Why did you even get back together with me when I came back to the bay?” she asked,

Jack sighed,

“I thought I needed to leave Martha in my past “I just wanted to move on, stop that merry go round I was on” he said

“But then I realised that I’m never going to be able to do that, Martha’s my life” Jack said “Martha and my baby” he said,

“So if you want to go to counselling we will, but just remember it’s not going to change anything” he said walking out of the house.

“It’s getting bigger Jack” Martha said happily as they entered the house after there trip to the hospital, all had gone well and Martha was becoming a little over excited at the prospect of being a mum.

“I know I think that’s about the fifth time you’ve told me” Jack said,

Martha turned around,

“I’m sorry I guess I’m just excited” Martha said,

“Me too” Jack said,

Suddenly Martha had an idea,

“You know I’ve been feeling pretty good today, Rachel said I should be over my morning sickness by now” Martha said moving towards him,

“Well that’s good” Jack said,

“And I miss you” Martha said pressing her body up against him,

“Oh” Jack said suddenly realising what she was suggesting,

“Are you sure?” he asked,

“Absolutely” Martha said leaning up and capturing his lips wit her own,

Jack held her around her waist and lifted Martha up; Martha wrapped her legs around Jacks waist, there lips not leaving each other once.

Martha smiled inwardly as Jack began to carry her towards the bedroom.

Jack smiled down at Martha, her wide eyes staring back at him,

“I love you” she said as he leant down to kiss her.

It was two hours later and Jack and Martha were lying in bed just enjoying the moment they were spending together.

Jack leant down to kiss her again but just as there lips were about to kiss there was a disturbing knock on the door.

“We could just pretend we’re not here” Jack said smirking,

“Mmm Hmm” Martha said as they started to kiss each other, Martha wrapped her arms around his neck and just as it was getting passionate there was another knock on the door, well more like a pound.

Jack groaned,

“I’ll get it” he said standing up and grabbing his boxers of the ground, quickly pulling them on he made his way to the door,

Jack opened the door and groaned inwardly when he realised the reason for the disturbance,

“Sam” Jack said “To whom do I owe the pleasure?” he asked sarcastically,

“I got us an appointmen…” but stopped when she realised the lack of clothes Jack had on,

“Did I disturb something?” Sam asked innocently,

Jack groaned,

“What did you want?” he asked,

Sam smiled to herself as she continued,

“Well I got us an appointment and it’s in half and hour” Sam said,

“Huh?” Jack asked,

“A counselling session half an hour chop, chop” Sam said enjoying the face that she had just pulled Jack out from doing something that he was no doubt enjoying,

Jack huffed “Fine whatever give me five minutes” he said shutting the door in her face.

Jack sighed turning back around making his way into the bedroom,

Jack walked through the door into the bedroom and saw Martha waiting for him,

“You’re back” Martha said excitedly “You getting back in?” Martha asked seductively rubbing the place next to her,

Jack looked at her longingly regretting what he was about to say,

“That was Sam” Jack said noticing Martha’s face suddenly falling,

“Oh” Martha said,

“She got us another appointment, it’s in half an hour” Jack said,

“Oh” Martha said again,

“I’m so sorry baby I just want to get this out of the way” he said,

“Can we a maybe continue this later?” he asked looking at her smiling,

Martha looked up at him,

“I think that can be arranged” she said, “Now go and get divorced” Martha smiled,

“Will do” he said smiling back and making his way to his cupboard and pulling out a button up shirt and some pants…

“So you want to get a divorce?” the councillor asked,

“Yes, I want to get married to someone else h and that other someone is having my baby” he added,

“Right” the man said before turning to Sam,

“And you?” he asked

Sam sighed,

“No I don’t think this is the right thing Jack’s just confused hey I wouldn’t be surprised if the babies not even yours” Sam smirked at him,

“You don’t know anything” Jack shot back, “Martha’s not like that” Jack said,

“Please just tell her that there is no chance in hell that I am going to go back to her” Jack pleaded with the man,

“So there’s no chance of reconciliation?” the man asked,

“Absolutely no chance” Jack made it perfectly clear,

“Well seeming as you’re having a child with this other woman proves to me that there is no chance that there’s a possibility of reconciliation” The man said,

“But” Sam went to speak but the man cut her off,

“Move on Mrs Holden” the man said signing the sheet and handing it to Jack,

“Here you go” Jack said placing the paper in front of Sam with a pen placed neatly on top of it,

Sam whimpered lightly as she picked up the pen and scribbled her signature on the dotted line,

“Thankyou” Jack said,

“Whatever” Sam said storming from the office…

“Thankyou” Jack said looking at the man,

“Hey I can see why you left her, she’s a whining little brat and I can’t really be bothered with paper work as to why I didn’t grant divorce” The man said,

“Well thanks” Jack said standing up and leaving the office.

Jack opened the door to the apartment to be greeted with a candle lit room,

It was five O’clock and Martha had made a special dinner for the two of them, well three.

“What’s all this?” Jack asked as he entered the apartment with a bunch of flowers,

“Just a little celebration that is if everything went to plan” Martha looked at him hopefully.

“Signed, sealed and on the way to being delivered” Jack said proudly,

Martha smiled,

“Thank god” Martha said walking towards him and wrapping her arms around him,

“Are these for me?” Martha asked,

“Oh sorry” Jack said “These are for Colleen, but I could tun out and get you some” Jack said,

“Shut up” Martha said playfully slapping him on the arm,

“I’m sorry” Jack said handing her the flowers,

“You know you’re the only one for me” Jack said,

“I know” Martha said with a cheeky smile,

“So this all smells good” Jack said walking over to the table,

“You and your stomach” Martha laughed before following him…
