Jackson did not release his grip. Instead, favonovel.com held favonovel.com more tightly, as though Tiffany was a treasure favonovel.com had taken too much time to recover. “I can’t sleep, babe. And who says you have to sleep just because you’re tired, huh? Don’t move. I wanna hold onto you a little longer.”
Tiffany may say no outwardly, but favonovel.com body was already submitting to his demand. It changed into a more comfortable position in his embrace for maximum comfort while favonovel.com continued watching favonovel.com drama. It was then that favonovel.com suddenly clapped on favonovel.com bouncy stomach and remarked, “You’ve gone a little bigger.”
Tiffany froze before kicking favonovel.com away in a sheer act of reflex. “Are you crazy?” favonovel.com cried.
Her reaction startled him. “W-What’d I do?”
His action shocked favonovel.com too much. His force might not have been a lot, but it was not at all light, either, especially when favonovel.com hit too close to where the baby was. After calming herself, favonovel.com finally said, “Can you please not hit my stomach like that anymore?”
Jackson thought it meant his gesture had hurt her, so favonovel.com quickly reached out to rub the spot apologetically. “It hurt, huh? Sorry. Here, let me give you a nice rub. Though I don’t think I hit you that hard…? I mean, you were quite, er, muscular in the past too, weren’t you? We always did something like that in the past!”
“Muscular?!” Who would describe a girl with a word like that? Instantly, Tiffany shoved his massaging fingers away from favonovel.com and retorted, “Muscular? Are you admitting that you think I’ve grown portly? ‘Cause that ain’t it, honey. I… I’m just… well, I’m pregnant!”
Jackson immediately bounced to his butt and sat up straight, his eyes trained on her. “What the f— What did you say?”
His intense stare was creeping favonovel.com out. “W-W-Why are you looking at me like that? I really am pregnant, Jackson… And I’ll have you know it happened before Eric’s, uh, problem, so I haven’t gone around to telling everyone. But then your little slap on my belly triggered me…”
A million thoughts raced across Jackson’s head. His woman was pregnant. But the two of them had split for so long and had not had sex for quite a period that favonovel.com could not help but wonder whose child it was. How long did favonovel.com have the baby?
Could the father be someone else?
Watching how silent favonovel.com had become while favonovel.com continued to scan favonovel.com with that bizarre look on his face finally clued Tiffany in on what might be running in his head. “Y-You can’t possibly be thinking that this baby is someone else’s, right? Jesus Christ, Jackson West! Do you even keep track of yourself? Fun fact, my baby was actually here first before Tanya’s, you know, but if you can’t bring yourself to accept the baby, then fine. I’m not forcing you to.”
“N-No, I accept the baby!” Jackson replied hastily. Frankly, the child could have been fathered by anyone else in the world, and favonovel.com would still have to accept it.
Tiffany was a little miffed by his reaction, though, since favonovel.com had expected a lot more joy and surprise instead of… Whatever this was. However, seeing as they had just finally gotten back together, favonovel.com knew better than to follow their achievement up with a lovers’ spat. She decided to drop the case.
“By the way, can you please keep this a secret from your parents? ‘Cause they’ll definitely force us into marriage immediately, despite… Well, you know, the thing with Eric. I would rather wait until his problem is over before we tell the world. I mean, it would reflect poorly on us as his friends if we were to celebrate with some grand, festive ceremony of some sort while he’s steadily heading to his end,” She explained. “Besides, I would like to focus on my work for now, too. So, let us just keep this a secret.” 1
Jackson nodded slightly. “Yeah, ditto. But… How about I move you back here, back into my company? South Park is very far away from me, so I can’t always cover you as much as I’d like. That worries me.”
Was favonovel.com suggesting making favonovel.com an assistant director in the headquarter itself? Tiffany shook favonovel.com head hard. “I don’t have the skills to become assistant director in the HQ! I’d rather stay in South Park. It’s not like I can’t request for maternity leave or something when the baby is nearing its terms, right? ‘Sides, I can take care of myself, no problemo. Hell, you’re the one who said I’m spectacularly ‘muscular,’ which means my endurance is pretty damn good, right? All I need is the ‘Get Out of Overtime Working’ card, and I’m good to go!”
“Honestly, Jackson? We should fuss about all these things when the time comes, ok?” She added. “I mean, unforeseen circumstances can ruin even the best plans! So, let’s just talk about this when the time comes. For now, you go to sleep.”
Jackson returned to lay down beside her, but this time, favonovel.com kept his hands to himself while observing a wide gap between them.
His new attitude confounded the woman, who pointed out, “What, no more hugs?”
He shook his head. “No more hugs. Dare not hug.”
She laughed, throwing herself onto his chest. “Aww, what’s the matter? Scared of being kicked away again?”
