Oh Noes.
This is unnecessary. John and I had a litle trouble getting our mark. We're perfectly fine, a few bumps and bruises aside. My pain threshold has always been somewhat high. You knock me down, and I'll get right back up and make sure that you never do the same. I've lost feeling in a few places, but I don't need it to begin with. If you ask me, I

But all that aside, getting to a hospital after what happened seemed like the best thing to do. It's me being concerned about my wife's health. She'll suffer through it, give me all sorts of hell about if after, and then we can move on with our lives. As long as she's alright, it doesn't matter.
"Mr. and Mrs. Smith, good news."
"Good." No Jane, I'm not going to look at you. I already know what expression you're giving me, I don't have to look.
"Your tests were fine. The blood work was perfectly normal."
"Thank you."
"Thank you." I got up to go get my jacket as well calmly, still not bothering to look at Jane. Like I said, I don't need to. And if she wants me to explain again once again how I was just worried, then I will. I don't care.

It's not going to be a big deal if she kills this guy, but she still needs to stop. She knows I'm not a fan of pointless killing. Most of the time.
"I think our good doctor should speak up, don't you?""Jane." I watched her calmly, trying to get her to look at me. "You need to calm down." Especially if the doctor's telling the truth. Since he looks like he is, and he's not taking back anything no matter how afraid of Jane he is, I think I'm going to have a longer night than I thought I was going to ( ... )

For a man who somehow managed to impregnate me while I was on the pill, John can be extremely inadequate at times, can't he? I dont want to go home with him. I don't want to be anywhere near him now. John can leave if he would like, but I'm taking that test over until I get the result I'm supposed to get. The negative one.
Children. Fuck. I wouldn't know the first thing about raising one. And if John tries to sell me on 'learning' I'll make it perfectly clear that I don't want to, nor would I ever agree to any type of maternity leave. The test results have to have been printed in error. Its impossible.
Seven weeks doesn't make any sense. John was out on assignment until...
Shit.
"What do you think?"
I think if John wants to go home as much as he claims, he should stop using that tone with me and acting like a wiseass. I can see right through it. I bet he thinks he has me right where he wants me now. A kid ( ... )

So much for getting silence. I was asking for it, but that doesn't mean I'm happy about it. What does she want exactly? A pitch? There isn't anything that's going to covince Jane that she shouldn't get rid of the baby, except Jane herself.
"Do you think you would love it? The baby I mean."That's insane, sweetheart. Just so we're clear ( ... )

Alright, so I gave him an easy one. Its not easy for me. I don't know how I'll feel about it if I do decide to go along with this. Most women have that instinctive mothering side. I've always assumed that its that part of a woman that makes her a good mother. The piece of her that knows exactly what her child needs at all times.
I don't have that. I won't get it by having a baby, so I don't know what I'll feel when its born. This isn't something that you're just supposed to accept because its there. This a life I'd have to be responsible for. The whole idea is nothing but unsettling for me.
"I would take all the responsibilities that came with have the baby too, just so we're clear." "You couldn't do all of it ( ... )

I asked for a reason, baby, a valid one. Excuses don't fall into the same category as logic. We've taken chances in the past, but that was a much different situation. We took them because our lives were at risk. There wasn't any other choice but to fight. And when it was all over we couldn't exactly go back to the people we'd killed and ask for a promotion, could we? We also couldn't run from any of it, which is why we decided to rebuild the house. What else would we have done?
We wanted to piss them off.
And even if John is right he's not looking at the bigger picture. We made short term choices in the moment that ended up working for us. That's nothing like having a baby. A baby would be a decision we'd have to live with for at least eighteen years. We'd have plenty of time to fuck it all up for the three of us and regret ever daring to take on the challenge ( ... )
