"Ana, I didn't-" He sighed as she disappeared into the kitchen. Katelyn dared not to scoff until he left, and she occupied herself with a nearby magazine, and the occasional glance at the pup and Luke.

"Love, I didn't mean it how I said it. I just.." He swallowed, and rubbed his hands together. "I'm sorry. Alright? I meant that we've been through hell and back, and ironically, which I thought it was, I play a man who goes through just that with another actress. The past love thing was just.. I.." He stammered, and looked down at his feet briefly, before his eyes traveled up to her crossed her arms. "I don't know what I was saying. You know I'm dumb sometimes... Idiotic even." He frowned, and had a dull look on his face.


"Forgive me?" He looked at her like a child almost. "Don't let me ruin anything, love. In fact, I'll go to work right now. I'll.. I'll.. I'll get out of the house and you and Kate can do whatever you wish." He smirked, and looked at the counters, grabbing his keys before disappearing upstairs to get dressed. He came back, his hair astrew, and his outfit casual.

His eyes were almost scared as he met Ana's gaze as his feet hit the floor of the living room. He seemed to pause, and looked down quickly, running his hand through his hair. "Just call me if you want anything to be picked up, loves." He looked between them, and smiled as Luke came up to him. "Can I go too, Jakey?" He flashed to Katelyn, who just shrugged. "He's all yours, Uncle." Jacob smiled, nodding, and kissed Luke's head. "Alright buddy, let's go!" Luke giggled, and Jacob set him down to let him retrieve his beanie.

Jacob then smirked slightly as he went to Ana, and kissed her head. He looked at her caringly, and his smirk grew a little. "The slightest hint something's wrong and I'll be right back before you can take another breath." He kissed her nose, before grabbing up Luke to disappear out the front door.

Katelyn then sighed as the front door shut. "Sometimes, I almost think Jacob's frightened of women." She chuckled, looking at her sister-in-law.

“I love you without knowing how, or when, or from where.
I love you simply, without problems or pride: I love you in this way
because I do not know any other way of loving but this, in which
there is no I or you, so intimate that your hand upon my chest is my hand,
so intimate that when I fall asleep your eyes close.” - Pablo Neruda, 100 Love Sonnets

Dɪᴀʟᴏɢᴜᴇ Cᴏʟᴏʀ ✦ #007478 || Tʜᴏᴜɢʜᴛ Cᴏʟᴏʀ ✧ #8B8386




      Since it was just the two women for the day. Ana decided to spoil the two of them with lunch and getting their hair and nails done. The blonde had a surprise for her husband when he got home and she wanted to look as good as she could. She wanted reward him for being easily on the top ten list of best husbands ever from spoiling her and their baby, to get the role in the movie, and probably more than anything she just wanted to keep him 'interested' in her before she got too big and no longer felt like she could be sexy. That way he may not get wandering eyes when he was around his beautiful, skinny, and blonde co-star who he would soon have to kiss and probably have sex scenes with. Her hair was curly falling down her back and framing her made up face which was stunning with her light red lipstick.

      By the time they got back the sun had gone down and Ana was in their bedroom getting ready with Kate who was tying the skinny, silk black belt that went with her long black lace robe. When she was done helping Ana get ready, she scurried off to leave Ana alone to get ready. She slid her red bottom black heels and loosened the bow on her robe to make it easier for her husband to undo. When she heard footsteps coming towards the room and she was sure that the mystery person was coming to the room. The blonde slid on her on the bed with her legs crossed with a small smirk ready to see the smile on her baby's face. She tapped her newly done nails against their white bedsheets. She looked down to look at her sparkling wedding ring when she heard a man softly scoff as the door close behind him. She had a huge smile on he pale face before she looked up. And standing there wasn't her husband, but Daniel. She stood up and silently cursed as she hopped off the bed. She tightened the robe to hide her body a little more as Daniel stared her up and down as he walked closer to her. She cleared her throat before turning her eyes to Daniel. "Daniel, I didn't really expect you to be in here. What are you doing in here anyway?" She asked trying to hide the embarrassment she had in her face. "I just needed to ask you something."


      "Okay and what's that?" She asked with a raised eyebrow just praying that Jake didn't walk through that door to see his wife so close to his sister's boyfriend. "Why are you with him?"
      Daniel asked as he moved a bit close as he looked down at the small blonde. "Excuse me?" Daniel moved so close that there was barely any room between the two of them at all. She kept backing up whenever he moved closer. "Why are with Jacob?" She scoffed. "Because he's my husband and--.."

      "And you love him, I get that. But, haven't you ever just thought that maybe he doesn't treat you like he should or doesn't shower you with the affection you deserve--.." He started to mess with the knot on her robe before she pushed him away a bit. Ana crossed her arms around her chest. "He does shower me."

      "Oh yea?"

      "Yea." Daniel moved so close that Ana was against the wall. "Then where was he today? Working with his new beautiful co-star because he definitely wasn't with you and I have seen her. You should be a bit worried that something might happen between the two of them." She took a deep breath as she looked at him. He moved her chin upward to look him in the eye. "If I was as lucky as Jacob with having you, I would never choose my job over you."

      She pushed him again but this time he didn't move at all. "You're with Kate!" He chuckled softly as he whispered to her. "That is true but, c'mon she has nothing on you. I mean just look at you. You have that long blonde hair, those curves and that body that even while being pregnant could get you anyone you want, and those lips that are just so..." She pushed him again but, before she knew it he was kissing her, moving his hands from the knot of the robe to around her waist. After what felt like forever Ana pushed him as hard as she could before wiping her lips. "What is wrong with you?! I-I'm happily married and pregnant with his child! And-- And, you're with my sister in law! You're going to ruin everything!" Daniel moved closer again and moved her chin up again. "Maybe a few things need to be ruined." Before she could anything but push him away from her heard the door start to open and felt her heart drop into her stomach.

There may be many flowers in a man's life, but there is only one rose. - Mike Lawrie Sr.

═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
[img]http://25.media.tumblr.com/8ee624e99c4efaebeace92feadd3bcac/tumblr_mvpvmmN2mW1qcruu2o1_500.gif[/imgJacob and Luke had an amazing day, to say the least. They were both all fancied up, and Luke had even gotten a part in the movie playing as Jake's son, as Jake played a single, struggling father who meets the CEO of a well-known makeup company, and they fall in love. Jake was dressed in fancy, high-class suit, the only one his character owns for a job interview for a position at the modern company. Luke was in similar attire, his character received it from his grandmother on his 10th birthday, and accompanied his father as it was the weekend.

That's all they had time to shoot, and the director suggested the two of them wear the stiff suits sometime over the weekend to get used to the textures and feelings, a first for young Luke. "That was so much fun, Jakey! Thank you, thank you!" The boy grinned and Jake followed him inside with a grin on his face. "You're welcome, buddy. Let's go find your Mom." He suggested, raising an eyebrow as Ana wasn't waiting for him in the living room.

They found Kate tidying up Luke's old room. "Well, there's two handsome men if I ever did see them." She smiled, ruffling the boy's hair. "Guess what Mommy! I'm in a movie!" Kate grinned. "Are you now?" She played along with his game until Jake nodded seriously. "Well, how'd they include him?" Jake chuckled heartily, leaning against the wall. "Luke plays my son in the film. Tell me, you know where my actual , insanely beautiful wife is?" Kate nodded, and chuckled. " I think I saw her go upstairs." Jacob nodded in response, swiftly kissing her cheek. "Need anything from the kitchen? I feel parched." He smirked and shook her head.

Jacob, unbuttoning his fancy vest, and cuffs, sighed as he poured a glass of water, and nearly drank half of it right there. "Ana?" He said as he started up the stairs, taking another sip. When he opened the door, he was almost oblivious to what was happening. "You won't believe what happened at the studio today, love. Luke is in-" he looked up from the mirror on the vanity, dropping his glass as he stood there, his whole body form changing. His jaw was set tightly, his arms frozen, and his eyes were ice cold.

The way her blonde curls seemed to dance around her face, and the lipstick smeared across her cheek, and stained on his lips. How she was in lingerie, and he was pressed against her on the wall. Jacob had his whole heart shattered, in a single beat. He didn't know how to respond, silently he turned to face them, as the reality it was set in.

His cheeks sunk in, his eyes were wet, and his lips pressed as he slowly straightened. Every second was as if he was in a sticky, gooey puddle of the inevitable. Silent as a ghost, he reached for a towel from the bathroom, throwing it haphazardly over the broken glass, and then moving to the door, not even hearing if anyone was saying anything.

His mind was dark, his heart was gone, and his body wanted to be anywhere but here. "K-Kate." His voice cracked. "I'm gonna take you guys home." He stood at the bottom of the stairs. Katelyn popped her head out. "Is something wrong? Where's Ana?" Jacob sighed. "I'm taking you home. Let's go."He said too sternly, and Luke's face was white. Katelyn looked up to the second story with a confused look, and nodded to Jake. Once the two were out of the house, Jacob turned around, tears escaping his eyes. He took off his ring, and placed it on the counter.

"Going away for a few days.
Jake"


Was all it said on a ripped piece of the note paper Ana always had on the fridge for grocery lists.

"Maybe a few things need to be ruined." He breathed, and tilted her chin, before he felt her hands push against his chest.. again. Then, the door opened, and of course, Jacob Almighty had to walk in. Daniel almost laughed at his not noticing of the situation. He was just about to open his mouth to tell him some smartass comment, when he said something.

"You won't believe what happened at the studio today, love. Luke is in-" Daniel grinned as he slowly turned his head to see Jacob out of the side of his left eye. His hands on the wall immediately behind his soon-to-be lover. "Sounds peachy, love. You going to clean up your mess there?" Daniel mocked his voice, and his grin grew as Jacob seemed to only get colder.

"Thanks, mate. Can you leave us alone now?" He paused for a minute. "And knock next time, won't you?" Daniel stung at Jacob's being, and he then turned to Ana, where he proceeded to claim the skin of her neck, and grinned against her skin. "Katelyn is nothing compared to you. You are.. my new conquest." He muttered, and smiled.

"I'm taking you guys home. Let's go!"

His face drew into a frown when he heard Jake and the rest of his goofy crew. "Heavens, they're too loud." He looked back towards the door, and stepped away from Ana as she managed to push him off of her rather forcefully. "Hey, play nice!" He seethed, and rubbed his forehead.

After he had returned after a few minutes, he chuckled. "Looks like you're stuck with me now. Loverboy left." In his fingers was the scribbled piece of paper, with Jacob's rough signature at the bottom of it. "I can support you better than he ever will. Kate and Lucas included."

He had a slick, evil smile on his face as he twirled Jacob's wedding ring on his fingers.

      Ana could feel her heart shatter as she saw the look on Jacob's face through the mirror. The sheer look of heartbreak that she saw running through his eyes. It killed her especially when he turned around to face the two. Ana tried to speak but, nothing came out. She just stood there with her jaw hanging open as she shook her head. "Sounds peachy, love. You going to clean up your mess there?" She didn't look at Daniel as he spoke, she kept her eyes on her husband as he put a towel over the broken glass before Daniel continued taunting Jacob. "Thanks, mate. Can you leave us alone now? And knock next time, won't you?" When Jacob hurried out of the room, Ana could feel the tears starting to well up. "J-Jacob!" Was all she could muster as she tried to push away from Daniel before he started to kiss her neck just like Jacob always did. Ana swallowed the lump in her throat. She felt like she was going to be sick. "Katelyn is nothing compared to you. You are.. my new conquest." She pushed him again as tried to hold back her tears as she heard Jake telling Kate that he was taking her and Luke home. "Heavens, they're too loud." She was shaking at this point when she finally was able to push him away from her. "Hey, play nice!"

      She didn't even reply as she snatched her robe off the floor and hurried out the room to try and catch Jacob. As she rushed down the stairs she put the robe on and tied it as tight as she could. "Jake! Jacob, please listen to me!" She had no idea if he was still in the house or not, all she could do was hope he was so she had the chance to explain. She didn't even notice his note or his ring as she ran towards the living room. She looked out the window to see his car driving away from the house. Her breaths became shallow and short as she made her way back to her room to see Daniel gone. She hide her face in her hands as she tried to regulate her breath. She didn't need to be stressing out the baby. "Looks like you're stuck with me now. Loverboy left." She reluctantly looked at him as she noticed the paper in his hand. She didn't even get up to read it. She just looked back to the ground, trying to think about what to do next. "I can support you better than he ever will. Kate and Lucas included." She scoffed as she turned towards Daniel. Now she was getting angry. "You don't know what you're talking about. He supports me better than anyon--.." She stopped talking when she saw her husband's wedding ring in Daniel's hand. "What the fuck are you doing with that?! Give me that!" She shouted as she got up and stormed towards him to snatch the ring from him. She clutched it in her hand as she started to push him towards the door. "Get out! You've ruined everything for me! Everything and you think I'd would ever think of being with you now?! I just lost my husband and the father of my child because of you! You've made me a single mom and you don't even give a shit!" She was shouting as she pushed him down the stairs softly, into the front room, and towards the door. She opened it as she looked at him. "You better hope he comes back because if not, you won't have to worry about him getting to you. Because I will most definitely get to you first."

      She pushed him out the door before slamming it closed. When the door was shut and she realized she was really alone she could feel her anger to heartbreak. She needed to call him. She needed to tell him that it wasn't what it seemed. She couldn't be a single mother. She refused to let that happen. She quickly grabbed the house phone and started making several phone calls to her husband that all went to voicemail. She decided to leave messages over and over again hoping he would feel bad and call her or return back home to her.

"Tell me what's going on."

The feminine voice of his sister abruptly demanded as soon as she touched his arm, his body sitting on the guest bed. Luke was falling asleep in his own bed, and Katelyn sat next to Jacob, noticing his bare hands. "It's.. nothing." Jake swallowed, his jaw set in stone. Katelyn rolled her eyes, and shook her head. "You would tell me if it was nothing. So, it's something." Jacob stood quickly, and saw the darkness outside the room through the window. It was nearly black outside, and he wondered, a little too much, what was happening in his own home he'd had to fight to get back into so many times.

"Jake." Katelyn shut the bedroom door, and hugged her big brother from behind him. "What happened?" She said quietly, and Jacob decided he couldn't hold it in. "Daniel and Ana were..." He paused, and looked out the window as his jaw tensed. "..with each other, in our bedroom." Katelyn had grown stiff as well, and she sighed, rubbing his back comfortingly. "I'm sorry, Jake. Maybe it wasn't what it seemed?" Jake laughed forcefully.

"Not what it seemed? Daniel was on top of my wife, who had decorated herself in red lipstick, and blonde curls, and lingerie that I've never seen before. Bloody hell, I'm pretty sure it was intended!" He gruffed, and left the room, and went to the porch where he stayed until Kate went to bed.

--- A Week Later ---

Jake was smiling as Luke had sipped on the lukewarm cup of coffee in his small hands. "Mmm.. Jakey!" He approved, and Jake grinned, taking a sip from his own. "Good boy, Luke." He ruffled his hair before they both hopped out of the truck.

They went through the final day of shooting before the break, as per normal. Yet, today they had a small party afterwards for the actors to celebrate. The ending scene was one of Jake, holding Luke on his hip, and had an arm around the woman they ended up with, as the perfect fit as a mother and wife, but the actors knew of the horrible plot twist that'd happen soon. They stayed a bit to get some of the good food they provided, then left to go home.

Katelyn took Luke inside to their house, and they both told their goodbyes to him. "Bye-bye, Jakey!" Katelyn just waved, before ushering the boy inside the house. Jacob sighed as he changed gears and went just two streets over to his home. Duffle bag in the passenger seat, he stopped at that annoying stop sign they just had to put between every single street in this suburb.

He grimaced as he thought of all the texts, calls Ana had made to him, and her unscheduled visit to Katelyn's he'd only heard about from Kate when they'd returned that night from filming. He stopped respectively, then pressed the gas, and soon enough he was back in his driveway. He knew Ana was probably hiding, but nevertheless, she'd hear him.

He opened his truck door, and swung his bag around his shoulder. It felt so different than every other time he'd come home. The time when he fought through the snow to make Christmas, the time he came home after the vacation, all of it, yet none of them felt like this one. This one was odd, and he felt weird going through the front door. He walked in, and noticed his note and ring weren't on the counter, and he gripped his duffle bag as he looked up into the living room, and didn't even see Bear.

You weren't just a star to me. You were my whole damn sky.

He took a quick step to stop himself from falling down the steps to the driveway, and his face was like stone. He couldn't believe he was breaking everything they'd worked so hard for, and what'd it amount to? Bloody hell was exactly what this was now.

He went to the city, not even bothering going back to sister's, after some thought. He wandered around for awhile, and then about 5 that morning, he walked in Kate's door. Waking her. She looked at him sadly, and without a word, she walked to him to give him a sisterly hug, but he shoved her away, and disappeared down the hall. There were no words to describe her feelings for him. She really thought he and Ana would last forever.

"Jake, what's going on?" Luke had squirmed out of bed after his mother resigned in her room until later. Luke was old enough to know something wasn't right as his bloodshot Uncle sat hunched on the guest. The boy padded over, and sat next to him. Jake just sat there, as Luke leaned his head on his shoulder. "Go to sleep, Jakey. Sleepy time." He whispered, and Jake laid on his side as the boy pushed him, and covered him, then returned to his room with a helpful smirk on his little face.

- One Month Later -

His eyes were meeting themselves in the mirror as he sat there, in the plush cushion, as a woman called "Lou" ran her hands in his hair, again and again. "Alright, alright. I don't think this looks right." She pursed her lips, and ran them through one last time, yet raised his bangs a little, as a relaxed smile spread across her lips. "Ah, yes. You're all ready, hun." Jake raised his eyebrows, and shot a gleeful smirk towards the woman, it fading as soon as he turned to exit the trailer. His eyes darted across to the building where the door had opened, and an excited boy ran towards him. "Jake! This is the last scene! The last one!" Jacob chuckled slightly, and picked the boy up, who was in designer jeans, and a nice little plaid button-down. Jacob's blazer proved to be in the way as it was crooked from Luke's leg. "Luke, how many times must we go over the shooting schedule, bud? It's the last of the scenes from the four parts that make up the whole movie. We still have one and a half to go."

It only took about an hour for the last of the shot the director wanted to finish today was completed. It was an overly just scene of romance, upon which the two main characters are exploring their feelings, as they share the kiss to spark their 'life-long love'. Jake sneered as he read the script, and with everyone having noticed his bare left hand, didn't push the subject.

Jacob brought Luke home, and actually stayed much to Kate's surprise. Usually on a good day, Jacob would drop Luke off at home then vanished until late hours of the night, waking Lucas, upon Katelyn's disapproval. He'd smell of whiskey, and stumble over his feet to 'his' room, and stay until annoyed into going in to work.

"Are you guys hungry?" Kate asked as they walked in, in civilian clothing, apart from the occasional actor clothes they'd wear home every so often. Jacob was about to open his mouth and answer when his phone rang. Lucas smiled at his mother, nodding. "Yes, Mommy!" Much to Jake's dismay, the last person he could possibly want to talk to appeared on his touchscreen. "Aye?" Jacob said semi-casual, and proceeded to hear an earful. "Is that how you greet your mother after you threw her out of your bloody home?" Jake shook his head, narrowing his eyes at his sister, and went outside to the back porch.

Luke raised an eyebrow at Jake's expression, then looked at his mother's. "Who's Jakey talking to, Mom?" He asked, and she chuckled. "Your grandmother, sweetheart. Mommy might have told her Jakey's secret." Luke giggled, and took a bite from his delicious ham sandwich. Katelyn leaned against the counter, smiling as she walked her brother pace the porch.

"So, what's this I hear about you finally leaving that whore?" Jacob sighed sharply. "She was never what you think she is, mother. She was my star, and I guess the flame just died. Maybe she does deserve better than the son of a hypocrite." He said unsure himself, and sat on the step as his mother's tone changed. "I'm so sorry for you, Jake. I know I wasn't too unreasonable, but maybe a little hard on the girl. Think it was me?" Jacob's eyes went into the back of his head, and he couldn't help his sarcastic smirk. "No, mother, it was me." Jake replied softly, and he looked at his hands. The feeling didn't last too long, though. She went on like that for a good 5 minutes before he finally pushed a reason he had to leave. "Our mother is not like any other." He chuckled to Kate as he walked by, and they shook their heads in unison.

Everything was fine and dandy, until Kate had to pick up Jake's laundry... again. She had to clean up after her son already, she didn't need a man-child. "Kate, I'm sorry." He rolled his eyes, and she in turn, grew that much more frustrated. "Are you? You know, maybe I see why Anastasia kicked you out. Because you're a fucking douchebag Momma's boy." She hissed, and threw on her coat, and just left. She didn't where she was going, but damn it, her idiot brother was on her last nerve. She slammed the door, but not without "Grow up, Jacob!" seething from her lips. Luke had went to a friend's for the weekend, so there was no worry of early foul language development.

She slipped into her light pink Mini Cooper, which she'd traded her old car for shortly after the incident with Daniel, and drove off. Jacob's truck sitting in the driveway still. It'd probably be gone when she got home. She doesn't remember the ride there, but somehow she looked over and spotted the familiar car of Ana's sitting there. "Huh?" She looked around for a moment, and sighed. "Oh bloody hell." She rolled her eyes, and got out anyway, and took her time to the front door. Seeing as she hasn't exactly seen Ana for at least two months, it shouldn't of been a surprise when her pupils dilated from the annoyance from Jake still, as she focused right on Ana's stomach as she answered.

"I-I-.. um... Hey." She shook her head, and looked up, making contact with her brother's and ex-boyfriend's love. "I.. um.. I thought I'd come over." She said quickly, hopefully she wasn't making this awkward. There was no need for it to be. She and Ana were good friends when everything was alright. Why couldn't they be now? Besides, Ana had her only niece. She has a right to be there.

Stepping in, Katelyn looked around the house. "It's been awhile. Did you re-decorate?" She eyed a few places that she didn't particularly remember, but they could've been there. "Anyways, how's the pregnancy? Any stories yet? I had a few with Luke, but they weren't too.. much of anything honestly." She said honestly, and ran a hand through her straight red hair.

They talked of the baby for the longest time, Ana and Kate each exchanging stories. Then it was almost late afternoon, and Kate's phone was buzzing from a currently tipsy brother, and Kate made a swift move to grab her phone off the coffee table in Ana's sight, and right into the back pocket of her jeans. "So, do you need any help around here? I mean, you can't exactly do everything on your own anymore, and I'm really free right now. I've got an adult at the house for Luke, and he's practically old enough to know what's wrong and what's right." She smirked, and looked down for a moment. "He puts Jake to bed half the time.." She muttered under her breath, and then looked up, a smile quickly on her face. "I can clean the house and just generally help you. I know you need it." Katelyn looked at her suspectingly, and had an innocent smile.

“I love you without knowing how, or when, or from where.
I love you simply, without problems or pride: I love you in this way
because I do not know any other way of loving but this, in which
there is no I or you, so intimate that your hand upon my chest is my hand,
so intimate that when I fall asleep your eyes close.” - Pablo Neruda, 100 Love Sonnets

Dɪᴀʟᴏɢᴜᴇ Cᴏʟᴏʀ ✦ #007478 || Tʜᴏᴜɢʜᴛ Cᴏʟᴏʀ ✧ #8B8386




      For the past month Ana had been working to get used to life without Jacob. Meaning she had removed most of the photos of the two of them with the exception of the one of with him, her, and Elizabeth when Ana was still in the hospital on the first day she was born. But, other than that all the other ones were away on a high shelf in the guest room closet where she could no longer reach without hurting here back. She was working of course but with how much work she's been missing she knows its best that once she gets the chance she might need to resign and find another job with more flexible hours since she was on the road to becoming a single mom. God she was still having to wrap that around her mind that soon she was going to be going through a divorce with the love of her life. She was going to fight for everything; their house, money, hell even their daughter. And that was one thing she would not give up fighting for custody of their baby. She'd be damned before she let Jake get full custody or even the rights for her to live with him.

      She was already starting to get things for their daughter, who's name has still not been decided on. I mean, Ana had a few ideas but the least she could do is run them by Jacob to get her opinion. But of course she wasn't going to ask him face to face or even in the delivery room. Hell with how they were now she didn't even want him there for the delivery. He was probably going to bring his new little girlfriend and make her sign those papers then and there.

      But, for now, for the day Ana was taking it easy. She was in her daughter soon to be room moving some of the boxes out of the way. She had so much stuff already and she hadn't even had her baby shower yet. Which she's no longer looking forward to since she is going through a rough spot with the baby's father. She moved the cans of yellow paint to the side out from the middle of the room when she heard the door ring. She raised an eyebrow before fixing her ponytail and her large black shirt. She needed to at least look put together especially since now she was always being asked at home and outside of her house what was going on between her and Jacob. From family, friends, and the press. She looked down at her ring which she still hasn't had the heart to take off as she walked down the stairs to head to the door. She looked through the peephole to see Kate. Opening the door she offered a small smile but lost it when she noticed that Kate was looking right at her stomach. "I-I-.. um... Hey."


      "Hi." She said sharply keeping her eyes down. She still never really talked to Kate about the whole Daniel thing. She did her best to explain herself but it never lasted long because she would leave before Jake got back to his sister's house. "I.. um.. I thought I'd come over."
      Ana cleared her throat before moving to open the door to let Kate in before shutting the door behind her. She watched the red head look around before she turned back towards the blonde. "It's been awhile. Did you re-decorate?" Ana nodded softly as she pointed at a few of the new items she had brought into the house over the past couple of months. "Um, a little bit. I took out a few things, added a few things here and there, y'know just for a change." She said as she pointed at the new positioning of their couches. "Anyways, how's the pregnancy? Any stories yet? I had a few with Luke, but they weren't too.. much of anything honestly." Ana chuckled as she started to move towards the sofa. "Um, yea. There's a few. Wanna sit down for a little bit?" When Kate sat down next to her she started telling a few of the stories she had of the baby at the moment.

      After a while Ana started talking about a few names that she had in mind including; Daisy, Emma, Rosie, and Charlotte. She had a few others in mind but at the moment these were a few of her favorites. She was talking about the one she liked the most when she heard a phone go off. She reached for hers out of her pocket but realized it wasn't hers when she looked. She didn't even get a chance to see who was calling Kate but she had an idea and she didn't want to push it. "So, do you need any help around here? I mean, you can't exactly do everything on your own anymore, and I'm really free right now. I've got an adult at the house for Luke, and he's practically old enough to know what's wrong and what's right. He puts Jake to bed half the time. I can clean the house and just generally help you. I know you need it." Ana was shaking her head and she ran her fingers through her hair. "You really don't have to. Honestly. I--I have everything under control really. I just like having someone to talk to."

"Ana, let me stay. I know you need the help, you probably can't even reach half of the stuff in your own house." She smirked, holding back a chuckle. "The last thing I want to do is burden you, though. I'm still a friend, even if Jake acts like an idiot and divorces you. " She sighed sharply, and pulled her phone back out now that Jacob's name had been said, and he was pretty much on the table of topic. She rolled her eyes at the texts from her brother, one including a selfie of him with a cardboard cutout of him. He must've been at the studios shooting again.

"The names you told me were adorable. Maybe Emma Rose, or Charlotte?" She had a smug grin, and held hands with herself, rubbing right under her thumb. Her sister side kept shining through, and it was going to get her in trouble. "Hear me out, just for one minute, and then I promise I will shut the hell up." She grinned, and ran a hand through her hair. "Jake was called by our mother the other day, and got ratted out for leaving you. It really surprised me, with the way she acts towards anyone really. She actually apologized for ruining his marriage. I mean, that doesn't happen everyday, and I thought that was interesting in the least." She cleared her throat, and scratched behind her ear, similar to Jake's habit.

"You know what?" Katelyn raised an eyebrow. "The stress of all this is not good for that little girl in there. So, let me be your therapist, per say. " She pursed her lips, and looked at her. "Tell me everything. " She rested her head on her palm and shifted her weight.

      "Ana, let me stay. I know you need the help, you probably can't even reach half of the stuff in your own house." Ana took a deep breath before looking down for a second. It was true. She couldn't reach a lot of things. Just like in her first pregnancy reaching even a little bit killed her back. At least the first time she has Jacob around to help her and as much as she knew she needed help. She couldn't ask her estranged husband's sister to help her. It felt like she would be cross a line or something. "The last thing I want to do is burden you, though. I'm still a friend, even if Jake acts like an idiot and divorces you." She kept her eyes down, not really knowing what to say to her. She knew the person calling Kate was probably Jacob and Ana didn't want to ask her in all honesty. So when she put her phone away, Ana felt her anxiety start to calm down. "The names you told me were adorable. Maybe Emma Rose, or Charlotte?" She chuckled. She was just glad Kate changed the subject for a little bit. "Really? I mean I loved them but, I still felt like I needed to run them by someone that at least had the last name of her father." Ana said before looking back up with a small chuckle. There was a moment of silence before Kate quickly changed the subject back to Jacob. Ana took a deep breath as she tried to keep herself calm for the baby's sake. She could feel her hands getting sweaty and her heart start to race again as she kept her eyes down towards the floor. "Jake was called by our mother the other day, and got ratted out for leaving you. It really surprised me, with the way she acts towards anyone really. She actually apologized for ruining his marriage. I mean, that doesn't happen everyday, and I thought that was interesting in the least." The blonde chuckled as she shook her head softly.


      "Your guys' mother has nothing to do with ruining our marriage. Which is something I never thought I would say. But, she had nothing to apologize for." Ana said as she made her eyes connect back with Kate who had a kind smile on her face. "The stress of all this is not good for that little girl in there. So, let me be your therapist, per say. Tell me everything." Ana shook her head. "No, no. I don't want to get you involved. Really it's nothin-" She started when her eyes connected back to Kate's. She sighed softly before she started to tell her eveyrthing from that night, to that fight Jake and her had that made them finally go over the edge, to how she was going to have to find a new job, and everything in between. She truly told her everything she could in order to get it off of her chest.

Katelyn's facial expression was permanently a shocked one. She didn't think her brother would be the cause of such mayhem, or her ex-boyfriend. She shook her head, rubbing her forehead for just a moment, before looking at Ana. "I'm so sorry." Her eyes held fear, yet pity for the girl, for what would happen next. "Maybe.. you guys just needed a break. I mean, you must have felt a pull if you were trying so hard that night that everything seemed to blow up." She shivered. "That's it. You guys just need a little break before the baby comes, you know? Jake has a movie to work on, and you can relax a little bit with the little time you have left to yourself." She chuckled forcefully a little at the end. "That has to be it, right?"

Meanwhile, a certain sober Jacob Colinsworth was nervously pacing back and forth in the parking lot of a studio. "I need it back.. I need it back.. Why the fuck am I even pacing?" He groaned, and ran a hand through his slick, dark hair. "Ana.. I please need my ring back because.." He shook his head quickly. "She's not gonna give it back to me." He stopped pacing, and bit his lip as he felt hot tears prick at his eyes. "No, no... she has to give it back. She'll give it back.." He trailed off, and dug in his pocket for his phone, upon which he turned on, and dialed her cell number. He had it known by heart.

"Please pick up.. please pick up.. " He mumbled over and over, the dull tone of ringing vibrating his phone. The line clicked.

"Ana.. I um... I just need my ring back. I need it on my finger, because it feels awful without one and we're still married, and I still love you and the baby, and I'm fucking drinking, and I need fucking help, and Ana, why the fuck did you marry me, and there's a thing I have to go to alone, and I'm scared as shit, and fucking hell, why would I even think you're cheating, that's bloody insane you're the most loyal woman in the fucking world, and oh my god, can I please have my bloody ring back?"

He took a deep breath, and ran a hand down his face in a single movement. His other hand was wrapped around itself in his pocket, and he was still nervously pacing the parking lot just outside his studios.

I gave it to Kate. She'll give it to you later.

A sense of relief washed over him and he didn't know how to explain it. He slid his phone in his pocket with replying a quick, "Thank you love." to Ana, and then taking a deep breath as he went back inside to finish up filming. The premiere was tomorrow, granted he stays and help them finish the cuts.

xxxx

Jacob was dressed in his suit, and Luke in his. To be allowed on the red carpet for the premiere, you have to have an escort, so Jake decided on Luke, as Ana was currently not exactly speaking to him. He sighed as he'd ran his hands through his hair for the hundredth time, and Lou having to go back behind him and redo it. "I'm sorry, Lou. Just nervous is all. " Lou simply nodded, and moved on to Luke's hair. The boy's spiked up, as Jake's was carefully sculpted, and his beard was freshly shaven. He fiddled with an envelope in his hand, it reading:

Jacob and Luke soon exited the booth, and went to the limo. They sat in the back, just the two of them, Luke watching out the window excitedly, and Jacob watching his wedding ring twirl around and around on his left hand. "I don't know how this all happened. I love you so much." He sighed, and fell back against the seat, and fought the urge to swipe his hair. "Jakey, are you okay?" Luke looked at him solemnly, seeming much more adult in his suit.

"Yeah, buddy. Just a little tired. Ready for your big night?" Luke grinned excitedly. "Yes, oh yes. I've been practicing for my speech." Jake chuckled deeply. "Haha, that's right, maybe we'll even get an award for our movie." Luke nodded excitedly. "Can we go to the ice cream place after this, please, please?" Jake chuckled, "Of course, you've earned yourself a cone." Luke hugged him tightly, and Jake's nose was in the boy's hair, sadness enveloping him.

xxxx

They arrived, and paparazzi swarmed to the limo, where they'd been capturing pictures of all the cast, and other actors who had come to support the others. Jake climbed out and grabbed a shy Luke, and walked him hand in hand before swooping him up on his hip, as they walked, and waved with his other hand. Luke giving a shy wave as well.

Kate squealed as she finally found the channel that was broadcasting the premiere. "I'll change it, just let me see my baby all dressed up." She had her eyes glued to the screen. "Luke looks adorable, aw, Jake did good I guess." She was rambling while they showed them walk down the aisle.

The announcer came on and started narrating. "It looks like the Colinsworth's made this a family event, Jacob seen with his son and- oh, hold that thought- I misspoke. Lucas is Jacob's nephew. Still a family event, the men look dashing, and we wish them well out there. Down to you, Bill-" Bill flashed on the screen, a man similiar in age to Jacob, and a little more charming. "Thanks, Steve. As you see I'm down here broadcasting live on the red carpet premiere of 'Don't Love Me', I believe is the title of the film. Anyhoo, here's the main man!"

Jake had his back to the man originally, but after being tapped on the shoulder, he turned, and him and luke waved at the camera. "Look, say hi to Mommy!" He waved at the camera. The reporter smiled, and opened his mouth. "So, are you guys excited about the premiere?" He put the mic closer to Jake, and Luke butted in. "I'll say I'm super duper excited, since Jakey's taking us to get extreme Moose Tracks after the boring part." Jake and Bill laughed, and Bill looked at the boy. "So, I take it extreme moose tracks is your favourite flavor, huh?" Lucas nodded quickly. "It's the best one!"

Kate rolled her eyes. "That boy is going to be so wound up when they get home. Poor Jake." She muttered, and shook her head, and watched Jake's facial expressions.

Bill then looked to Jake as he set Luke down to the ground. "So, do you think this movie will be even bigger than Antman?" Jake thought for a moment, and looked between Bill and the camera. "Well, honestly, no. Because my wife didn't help me with this one, so the emotions I have in this movie are more.. odd, for lack of better of a better term. I didn't try as hard as I did in AntMan. Besides, who beats Marvel? I mean, it's MARVEL." He chuckled, and the reporter glanced at his hand. "Speaking of Mrs. Colinsworth, how come she wasn't your escort?" Jake turned pale, and nervously chuckled. "Oh, she doesn't want to get out so close to the due date." He then turned to the camera, his eyes soft. "We miss you, love. I love you." He then winked, and they let Luke and Jake continue on to the speeches and ribbon-cutting.

Jake, Luke, and their main female co-star, Emily, all held the scissors for the ribbon-cutting in front of the giant poster of their movie. Then, the speeches began, the cast not talking but the crew talking about the ups and downs of filming and such. It'd been about 4 hours since they'd gotten there, when they were allowed to leave the seating area.

Luke sighed as the got back in the limousine. "That was soo long, Jake. I don't want to be another movie." Jake chuckled, ruffling the boy's hair. "Sure you do." They got to the ice cream place, and Luke was content with his extreme moose tracks, as he changed into just his dress shirt, the rest of his suit in the limo. Jake's jacket was unbuttoned, but he wasn't getting ice cream. "When are you and Annie gonna have the baby, Jakey?" Jake shivered. "Soon, buddy. Soon." He frowned, and Luke raised an eyebrow. "Then why aren't you and Annie in love?" Jake looked at Luke. "I messed up. I hurt her feelings, and now she doesn't like me anymore." Luke patted his shoulder. "I gave some ice cream to a girl in my class once. It made it all better." Jake chuckled, and shook his head. "It's not that easy when you're older, bud. But thank you. Now, hurry up with that before it melts. " Luke giggled drank the remaining ice cream.

Why didn't he see him? Why was he so fucking blind? Luke's scream pierced his ears, as a man in black ran up and grabbed the boy, before darting off, Jake right after him. "Hey! Fucking stop!" "Jakeeeyy!" Jake was running as fast as he could, thank god he kept up with workouts after Antman. The man took a sharp right, and Jake went right behind him. Finally caught up, Jake tackled his legs, and the man let go of Luke, as the two men started fighting. Luke breathing fast, his eyes huge. Jake scrambled to get on top of the man, only to get kicked in the face. He swung a punch after a punch into the man's face, bloodying his knuckles.

"Jake! Jake!" He stopped hearing Luke's voice, and when he looked down his knuckles were almost purple, panting, he looked at the man's heavily bloodied face. "Jake, let's go home. Please go home?" Luke grabbed his uncle's arm, and Jake slowly got up. "Are you alright, buddy?" He examined him while still on his knees, a by stander had called the cops, and explained the whole thing, as cops took away the kidnapper. The two got checked out in the ambulance, Luke only requiring a bandaid for a scratch with a few bruises, Jake having his knuckles bandaged.

xxxx

The limo pulled up outside their old house. Jake having unbuttoned his vest, and had his jacket in his hand, Luke holding his other. He knocked on the door, swallowing as he saw the door open, and seeing Ana. His eyes full of emotions, he took a step forward, and Luke ran in to see Kate. "Mommy, mommy!" He said happily, and tackled her in a hug on the couch. "You were so good on tv, Luke!"

Meanwhile, at the front porch, Jake looked Ana in the eyes. "Can I come in?" He asked soft, yet confidently spinning his ring on his finger. "I mean, I uh.. you don't have to, I can really go get all this checked out, but.. I just wanted to see you." He added, and kept spinning.

Jacob nodded. "I could almost smell it outside. I was hoping you'd ask." He said softly, and ran his better hand through his hair. The stress of the media would be getting to him soon, and he'd probably chug a bottle of rum later. "Just for record, you know the house is in both of our names, right? You have a right to kick me out, just saying." He scratched his neck before excusing himself to the bathroom.

Using this time without Jake, she leaned over to Ana's shoulder, as Luke went to get Bear. "You really miss him, don't you? Yep, your facial expressions give you away." She grinned slyly, and nudged her shoulder playfully. "I can give you guys some alone time after supper, love dove." She giggled, and sank back into the barstool as Jake returned, Luke in the living room with Bear.

"I like what you did with the place, love." He looked around as he stood awkwardly in the hallway/foyer. "It's uh.. different." A sad twinkle in his eye, as everything that'd happened came flooding back to him, and he frowned, as he eyebrows furrowed. "Do you need help with anything? I don't want to be a waste of space." He asked, and kinda shrugged his shoulders as he shoved his hurt hand in his pocket.

Katelyn chuckled. "I think we got it, kiddo. Why don't you get some ice for that hand? It looks swollen, bad." She raised an eyebrow, before looking between the still-married, awkward couple.

Jacob nodded softly as Ana stopped his hand from scratching, obeying her. His hand winced as he felt the soreness, probably just bruised. Jacob cleared his throat. "Before dinner, I have an announcement." He looked at Ana, fear dead in his eyes. Kate walked in before leaning on the wall as she crossed her arms. "Go on, Jake, we're listening." She said as a glimmer of mischief sparkled in her eyes, but quickly faded as he spoke.

"On the uh.. On the way home, I stopped and registered myself for an Alcoholics Anonymous. Jake can account for me. " Kate's eyes were a little big, while he desperately fought the urge to leave, to just drown himself in rum. "I uh, I want to change. No matter what it takes anymore. I've lost everything, whether I wanted it or not. Hell, Kate won't even look at me the same way. " He looked down to avoid eye contact as he could feel anxiety bubbling up to the surface. He crossed his arms over his chest and hid his face in his bandaged hand. "I just thought both of you should know..." He mumbled, and inhaled sharply. Speechless, he didn't want to look at Ana and see her face. She didn't believe anything he said now anyway. But, he hadn't went and gotten divorce papers, he hadn't gotten a fuck girl, and he's trying to quit alcohol. All for them. Her and that little girl that would be here so soon. Too soon.

He wasn't ready. Not for this. Not for Ana to whisk her away for most of her life and him only know his own daughter when she was a grown woman. He'd already lost Elizabeth and Danny. He can't lose her too. Or her mother. Then he came plummeting out of his thoughts and back into his ex-home. "Well, I'm proud of you for trying." Kate walked up and kissed his cheek, before patting his shoulder. "Hey, after we leave, I'll take you to Urgent Care, alright? I bet your hand's bugging you." She smiled before going back to the living room.

Jacob stood in the kitchen, still with Ana, Bear crunching away in her bowl. "She's gotten so big. " he muttered more to himself, and leaned against the counter, his back towards Ana, his hair a hand-combed mess. He thought about how rewarding it'd be for Ana to come back into his arms. For her to just stay there and warm his embrace, welcome him home with the baby girl on her curvy hip, a soft smile on her lips. "I was thinking about getting out of the spotlight. Maybe write instead of act, ya know?" He turned halfway, so he could kinda see Ana.


(I'll fix it later)

Jacob shook his head, scratching behind his ear. "Honestly, I did have everything I wanted, but it wasn't what I needed. I had everything I needed, but then I made a mistake, and, it feels like I have nothing to my name. Sure, I was Antman, and the estranged husband, but, it isn't who I really am. " he cleared his throat. "Who I really am, is the guy you remember, when we first met. I was spilling over words to say and nothing would exit my mouth to actually communicate to you." He chuckled a little, and then cast his eyes from Ana down to his wedding ring, and spun it around.

Kate soon interrupted the silence. "Jake? Hey, um, Luke broke something in Ana's room, can you go make sure he's okay? I just heard a crash." Jake didn't think twice as he scurried off to his old bedroom, to find nothing wrong, but when he turned around Ana was right behind him and the door slammed shut, locked from the outside. Kate was outside the door. "Okay love birds, fix yourselves!" She chuckled and was heard going to the kitchen, Luke behind her.

"Kate.." He sighed, running a hand through his hair. "Well, here we are." He smirked at Ana and watched her. "I can't remember the last time I was in here." He trailed off, looking around, frowning as he had a flashback of the last time he was in here. "Ya know.. I overreacted the last time I was in here. I was so stressed from work, and then came in here to that freak with you, it just... I'm sorry. I really am." He leaned his head on his hand as he sat on the bed.
