Keep your dreams alive. Understand to achieve anything requires faith and belief in yourself, vision, hard work, determination, and dedication. Remember all things are possible for those who believe.

Eu nunca fui muito bom em falar de mim, por mais que eu sinta às vezes que só faço isso, eu nunca fui muito bom em lidar com fins, talvez por isso dizem tanto que eu fujo de compromisso.

Read part one first!
Clay and Maggie exchanged worried looks, neither wanting to waver in their loyalty to Jack. Part of you respected the fact that they were keeping their loyalty a focus, but the other part of you was beyond frustrated.
Clay ended up joining Maggie and staying for a few days, making himself comfortable on your pull-out couch.
An overwhelming feeling of sorrow overcame you on your last night together, the four of you had spent the last few days bonding and making memories at home. Emmett felt the sadness too, as he was fussier than normal. His loud cries echoed in the house as you bounced him in your arms, eventually calming him down enough to put him in his baby swing for a nap.
Maggie insisted on cooking as she stood at the stovetop to made dinner, immediate flashbacks of your life with Jack flooded your mind. You remembered all of the times heâd rush home from a late night at the studio and make a grilled cheese for the both of you and how youâd stay up laughing for hours on end when you both couldnât sleep.
Your eyes filled with tears, you had done so well at suppressing your emotions while Clay and Maggie were around not wanting them to feel caught in the middle more than they already were but tonight was the hardest.
Jack was trying to reach Maggie all evening, frantically calling her no less than 10 times. He had a meeting with his lawyers and was told you would be receiving a subpoena on behalf of his ongoing court case. It was news they tried to approach him with extreme softness, knowing you were a sensitive topic but regardless he didnât handle it well.
The lawyers he hired looked to him with sympathy, letting him know they exhausted all other avenues and that they would pick back up tomorrow as theyvwere done for the day.
Jack stayed alone in the room to collect himself for a moment. He had tried to shield you from all of this, but you were his fiancé at the time of the embezzlement so nothing was off the table. He had successfully kept the story out of the limelight, but that was no doubt going to change soon and he was overwhelmed with emotions.
Jack wasnât able to reach Maggie, she was always his sense of comfort and the person he turned to for advice. It was rare for her to miss calls from him but she was more removed from her phone because she was around you and her grandson.
When Jack realized her location was off, he grew increasingly concerned and decided to call his dad for clarification.
Brian wasnât the best liar and didnât convince Jack in the slightest that his mom was out of town for a work-related conference. He sighed and quickly decided to call Clay to see if he had any insight into why their mom wasnât answering his calls.
You watched Clay's phone buzz against the coffee table as dinner was still being made, Jack's contact name and photo appearing immediately.
âClay- ummm your brotherâs calling youâ You picked his phone up, handing it to him. Your hands trembled at the possibility of hearing his voice.
Clay nervously answered, stepping outside to take the call. Within minutes he was back inside with a nervous look on his face, he had nonchalantly tossed his phone on the counter and didnât say a word to either you or Maggie.
You could see that you were putting both Maggie and Clay in a compromising position, and you were worried that this would affect Emmett's relationship with them in the long run.
A wave of impulsion came over you, grabbing his phone and answering it as Jack's contact lit up the screen once more.
âDude, why the fuck are you hanging up on me? I need you right nowâ Jack was yelling, his breathing short and shallow.
âHey, sorry, itâs not Clayâ you sighed into the phone wondering if he would recognize your voice immediately.
Maggie and Clay stayed focused on you, Emmett was babbling in his baby swing and you mouthed to Clay to keep an eye on him as you walked outside to sit on your back patio.
Jack felt like the wind got knocked out from underneath him. He was beyond panicked and hearing your voice was not what he was at all expecting.
âHi.â
âHi,â you mirrored back, truthfully not going into this conversation with any kind of a game plan, as you anxiously picked at your nails.
âWhy are you with my family?â he was beyond confused but admittedly happy to hear your voice after all this time.
âJust because we ended things doesnât mean they have toâ You let out an awkward giggle hoping to break some tension.
He laughed too, which gave you an opening.
âWe have a lot to talk about but Iâd rather do it in personâ You didnât feel like it was morally right to drop the âyou have a sonâ bomb over the phone.
âI agree but I also have to tell you something nowâ Jack coughed nervously, his throat felt dry knowing he had to say things to you that he had been keeping a secret.
âGo ahead.â You could tell he was nervous by the tone of his voice.
Jack took a seat on his barstool in his house, âThe night before we were supposed to get married I found out that someone on my team was stealing money from me.â
You slapped a hand over your mouth instinctively as he continued to speak, mentally putting the pieces together. You wondered why he wasnât naming this person but you saved your questions.
âIâve been trying to keep you from the embarrassment of all of this but I was told today by my lawyers that youâre going to be subpoenaed.â
Your breath hitched, âsubpoenaed? Why me?â You had wondered if they thought you had anything to do with it.
âMy lawyers think it would be beneficial if you were a character witness. The courts just want to know if you had witnessed anything while we were together. They want to know if I was lying about any of my finances or doing anything wrong on my end.â Everything he said sounded like one giant run-on sentence, he was nervous to talk to you and ashamed at how he handed things.
âSo Iâm supposed to go to court and speak to your character?â You stifled a laugh, you were still angry at how things ended, further proving you were still in love with him.
âI know, Iâm sorryâ he knew what you were subtly referring to.
âIs your girlfriend going to be there? Did she get subpoenaed too?â You couldnât help but feel a wave of jealousy come over you, youâd blame it on postpartum hormones if you had to, but you knew that was the furthest thing from the truth.
âHeather? Sheâs not my girlfriend, we have just been hanging out. Itâs just PR to make things look goodâ he wasnât supposed to admit it to a single soul but he felt like he owed you that much.
âWe will fly home with your brother and mom tomorrow and meet you at her house in the evening so we can talk. Sound good?â You hadnât even realized you started the sentence off with âweâ but Jack did, wondering if it was a slip of the tongue and opting not to point it out.

The flight to Kentucky felt excruciatingly long, Emmett was obviously very young, and that made you a nervous wreck about everything.
You had some baby items delivered to Maggie and Brianâs house that way things were set up when you got there. You didnât expect Jack to already be waiting inside when you arrived.
He was sitting on the family couch with his head in his hands as you noticed the bassinet you had delivered was already put together and sat in front of him.
âHow long has he been here?â You whispered to Brian as he softly took Emmett from your arms.
âLong enough to build that bassinet himselfâ he whispered back and the family agreed to give you both the room, leaving quickly to another room in the large house.
You stood in front of Jack who had only looked up at you now, his eyes were bloodshot and his hands were trembling. Otherwise, he looked handsome as ever, he had been working out, his arms were practically bursting out of his jacket and his hair and beard were fluffy and full.
âIs that for our baby?â He stood up, forgetting how much taller he was than you making you step back at his loud tone.
âJack- let me explain.â
âItâs a yes or no question, do we have a child together?â He was closer to you now, unaware of how intimidating he may be. He had done the math in his head and it made sense.
You reached your hand out to push him back, âIâm going to need you to sit down if you want to have this conversation with me.â
He stumbled slightly unaware youâd be pushing him off balance, but he sat down on the same couch cushion he had been sitting on when you arrived. He was looking up at you now as you stood in front of him.
âYes, that's what I wanted to tell you in personâ Before you could continue Jack jumped up, ready to go looking for Emmett but you stopped him by standing in front of him.
âJack, please! Can you just calm down and not go barging in there and scaring your son when you meet him for the first time?â You wanted to get all the animosity out of the way first.
âWe have a son?â His face softened, that was the first bit of information he had gotten from you.
âIâll start answering your questions when you start answering mineâ You handed him some tissues out of a box on the side table in the living room.
Jack quickly wiped his drippy nose, collecting himself to answer anything you wanted to know. âAsk me anything.â
âWhy didnât we get married? Did you realize you didnât love me? That I was too âboring?â You said that last word with air quotes.
âIâve never stopped loving you, thatâs the truthâ he swallowed, keeping his eyes on you as you paced around the living room in front of him. You were wearing a long-sleeved purple body suit and black leggings, and new balances, a comfortable airport outfit but he still thought you looked beautiful.
âYouâre still deflectingâ You had zero patience for his lack of immediate answers.
âI donât think youâre boring eitherâ he laughed having to clarify. âThe night before our wedding I found out that someone was stealing significant amounts of money from me and I didnât want to get you involved. It was something I shouldâve caught a long time ago but with the album and our wedding I was just distracted and it all came crumbling down so fast.â
You finally sat down, across from him as he spoke about the truth for the first time to you.
âWhy didnât you just tell me? It doesnât make any sense to me. I was your fiancĂ©, we were going to get married!â Your emotions were getting the better of you, as your voice was raised.
âI didnât know how to tell you. I thought it would be easier if you didnât knowâ and it dawned on you why things had become so complicated. Your mind was racing knowing of one possibility that would absolutely break your heart.
âMy sister? Is it my sister?â You started to piece everything that had happened within the last year together now.
Your sister was already working for Jack and was the reason you two had met in the first place, this was her first âbig girl jobâ and you and your family had assumed she was finally getting her life together.
Jack nodded confirming what you suspected, tears rolling down his cheeks.
When Jack called off your engagement, your sister stopped speaking to you and your parents, claiming you ruined all opportunities that came your way and that this would affect the both of you. She wasnât even aware of your pregnancy, what was meant to be your wedding day was the day you lost both Jack and your older sister.
Your parents were never phased by her absence as she had always had a checkered past, so they never questioned why she disappeared since she had done it so many times before.
âYou warned me to keep an eye on her and I just ignored it because she was your sister and I thought my team would catch any inconsistencies. Before the wedding I had them look into everything one last time for the sake of saying I did it but then they found out she was stealing from me and I didnât know how to tell youâŠâ He started to sob, a weight had been lifted telling you the truth but he felt regretful for missing out on so much. He was attempting to ramble through his tears as you stood up from your seat to approach him, kneeling to hold him as his muscular frame shook in your arms.
Jack loosely wrapped his arms around your body as you slowly stood up and instinctively wrapped yourself around him by sitting on his lap, holding one another through tears.
âI havenât talked to her since that day. She doesnât even know about Emmettâ You nervously played with a stray curl, making him look up at you.
âHis name is Emmett?â A small smile broke across his face, a twinkle in his bloodshot eyes that wasnât there before appeared.
âDo you want to meet him?â You slowly stood up, embarrassingly realizing you had made it into his lap.
Jack nodded and you both walked down the hallway, lightly knocking on the door as Jack nervously followed behind you.
Maggie carefully handed Emmett to you. Jack made sure he was sitting down before you let him hold Emmett, the family leaving you both alone once again.
âWhy wouldnât you tell me you were pregnant?â He sniffled as he looked down at his son who was fast asleep after a long day of crying.
âYou had already decided you didnât want to be married, you told me you didnât love me and that you needed to be with someone on your level. Why would I force you to pick me or raise a family with me for that matter?â
âYou know now that wasnât true right?â He finally looked up from Emmett to look at you. âDid you know that you were pregnant whenâŠ?â He didnât want to finish that sentence and you knew that.
âI didnât, not until a few weeks laterâ you shrugged, moving the blanket down from Emmettâs chin.
âHe looks just like meâ Jack chuckled, looking at you sympathetically âSorry about that.â
You laughed, feeling the tension slowly dissipate at his comment. âItâs okay, it made me feel close to you.â
Jack smiled, finding comfort in the fact that you said that. âIâm sorry that I made things worse. I thought I was helping by keeping you from it and I didnât know you were pregnant or that wouldâve changed how I reacted.â
âWould it?â You were still hurt, and trying to suppress your need to subtly throw jabs at him.
âYes, and Iâm sorryâ he couldnât manage to say anything else, knowing he didnât have a rebuttal.
âAnything I can do to make this easier, I will. If I have to go to court for you, Iâll do it. I always wouldâveâ You wanted that to be clear.
âI didnât think it was fair of me to ask that of you. I tried everything to keep this out of your lifeâ he sighed and you heard a knock on the door, Clay was wheeling the bassinet into the room for the both of you.
âThank youâ you hummed as he nodded and quickly left. You helped Jack carefully set Emmett down inside of it, his paternal instincts quickly kicking in as he sat on the bed next to the bassinet to keep a close eye.
âItâs not just about you and me anymore. Youâre his dad and I want to make sure youâre okay. Iâll do whatever I have to and we can meet with your lawyers tomorrowâ You sat on the bed beside him.
âEven if it means testifying against your sister?â
âI donât have a sister as far as Iâm concernedâ you spoke to him as blunt as you could about that, wanting him to know you meant it.
âShe stole a lot of money, and will likely go to prison for a long time. What if your parents donât agree with your decision?â Jack was worried youâd change your mind once family weighed in.
âMy parents wonât be upset with me, my sister has been causing chaos in their lives since she was a teenager. If anything theyâll just be happy you know about Emmettâ You smiled, looking at your baby who was sound asleep.
âI just donât want to lose you again, or himâ Jack was immediately in love, but the reality set in quicker than anticipated.
âYou wonât. You might want to call your lawyers first thing tomorrow and let them know you have a son thoughâ you laughed, wondering if that would affect anything.
âIâm just glad I can stop hanging out with Heatherâ Jack nudged you with his shoulder knowing you were jealous when you mentioned her earlier.
âI like the sound of thatâ You leaned into him with your shoulder. He turned to you, his hands cupped your face as he went in for a kiss, something he had wanted to do from the moment you walked into the house.
Jack leaned back on the bed, grabbing your thighs and pulling you on top of him as Emmett was still asleep nearby.
âJack- we canâtâ you moaned between kisses, missing the touch of his hands more now than before.
âI just want to kiss youâ he pleaded between moans, his kisses growing more and more sloppy as you straddled him, your fingers entangled in his curls.
You had no idea you had fallen asleep until Emmett woke you with his cries. Jack immediately rolled over, shushing you to go back to sleep as he kneeled to look for formula in the diaper bag on the floor.
âDo you know what youâre doing?â You whispered as he took a bottle from your bag, a look of worry came over him that you found endearing.
âIâll show youâ You picked Emmett up and held him against your hip as you walked with Jack to the kitchen, showing him the steps and how to test if the milk was too warm.
âIâm sorry youâve been doing this all aloneâ he whispered, knowing he had a lot of things to catch up on. He bent down to quickly kiss you before testing the formula on his wrist.
âIâm sorry youâve been dealing with all of this aloneâ you replied, referring to his impending court case.
âI wasnât alone, I had Heatherâ he teased, making you roll your eyes as he giggled behind you and back to the bedroom.
âDonât make me fly back home, youâre still on thin iceâ you teased back, earning a scoff from Jack.
âStop playing, this is your home nowâ he hummed, taking Emmett from you as he fed him for the first time. He flashed you a big bright smile, letting you know he was serious and you found all the comfort you needed in hearing that.
