Silence: for a second, that filled the room as the words she had just uttered settled over both of them - and instantly, Jess could see his mind racing. Jess could always read that… despite his attempts at being stoic when they were dating. Every time Malachi Azure’s mind worked, it could be seen in his eyes and trust her… she had looked in them for long enough to know. Right now - Jess knew the questions that he must have been analyzing… it was the exact questions she asked when Anna had told her she was pregnant as she recovered in the hospital.
“What the f^^k?"
“What the fck?”
Dan’s words echoed in Jessica’s hospital room which was currently filled with only Anna, Dan, her, and Jessica’s mom. Apparently, this was… a conversation that needed to be kept private… and that much was clear with what exactly Anna had to say. “What the fck do you mean you’re pregnant with that piece of sht’s baby? Get rid of it. God.”
“Daniel…”
“Don’t… start with me. Look Aunt Addie, I know Anna’s your kid, but what the fck? Seriously? You fcked that arse and got fcking pregnant Anna?,”
“I know that Daniel and clearly, I’m dealing with it. I’m not… I can’t get an abortion.,”
“Dealing with it? You call this… bringing this sh!t up NOW in Jess’ fcking hospital dealing with it? After that fcking Azure is the reason she’s in here in the first place”
“He’ll… they’ll take… the baby if they know… the Azure’s aren’t… if you’re going to keep this baby, Anna, we need to… tread carefully.,”
Jess looked over at her mom as she walked over to Anna, putting her hand on Anna’s stomach. Throughout all of this - no words left Jess’ lips. She couldn’t… talk… what… what was there even to say? All Jess knew was her heart was just as broken as the moment she realized Kai had used her.
Words continued to echo around her for the next hour or so… plans being made… and in the midst of it all, Jess sat silently unable to mutter anything except a single sob when she was alone again.
Jess stayed silent, allowing… Kai to process her words. Maybe it was a mistake… maybe this was something she should have kept but with Paige and Kiara finding out… it was only a matter of time.
"And nobody thought to tell me?”
“No one thought they could trust you anymore Kai… and god… I tried. I tried so much and you just reminded me every single time that it wasn’t worth it because you would just hurt them like you hurt… me.” Jess whispered, unable to say anything else as she looked into his eyes.
