Jack got up and answered the door and when he saw Bianca he smiled and said," hey I see you have a little bundle of joy come in." He then took the cake letting her hold her baby better
 
Bianca smiled softly and then nodded. "Yep. We named her Ashley. When are you and Anna going to have a bundle of Joy yourselves?" She asked him as Anna stayed asleep.

Jack pulled a chair out for her and sighed and said," I'm not sure, we already had ya know, but we were drunk and she still isn't ready to have kids."
 
Bianca laughed softly and shook her head. "I wonder if Anna will ever be ready to have kids. What do you think she's so scared about?" She asked and rocked the baby back and forth.

Jack pondered this for a moment and said," I guess she will think they will be bullied and abused like we were. I'm scared that might happen." as he spoke he gently put one hand to his back and said," I never told you did I?"
 
Bianca blinked and shook her head. "No. You never did. I knew y'all went through the foster system I just never knew about the abusing." She told him and that was when Anna walked out of her room. "Id rather you not talk about my life." She told Jack and walked to the kitchen. She was wearing just a tank top and her bruises were showing. Bianca noticed but just looked at Jack.

Jack looked at Anna and said," Sorry honey." he then looked at Bianca and to change the subject he pulled out his phone and said," Anna and I recorded a video yesterday, want to see?" he then looked at the baby and asked," can I hold her?"
 
Bianca smiled softly and then nodded. She handed the baby to Jack and then watched video. Bianca would glance up every now and then to see how Jack was doing. Anna however was getting a drink and then watched Jack as he held the baby.

Bianca looked at Jack and nodded. "I would love to see it and sure. Here." She said as she softly put the baby in Jacks arms then began to watch the video. Anna however looked at Jack from the kitchen and watched him as he held the baby.

Jack held her gently and the baby woke up, bit didn't cry. It just looked at jack and reached up and grabbed his nose and began to giggle as he made his noise move. He chuckled and began to gently play with her.
 
Anna saw how Jack seemed to be enjoying having the baby in his arms. She sighed softly and then walked over. "Hey Jack, I'm going to the bakery. Just to check in the cakes and see how everything is." She told him and smiled as she grabbed her keys and left. Bianca looked at Jack once the door closed. "You know that's code for: I have a lot of things on my mind at the moment so I'm going to my secret hideout." Bianca told Jack as she sighed. "Sorry if I caused any of this."

Jack smiled as she left and said," No, its just that... never mind. Lets just say we recovered from a bump in the road and we are still trying to figure everything out. She just need time and needs to think by herself." he then chuckled and asked," So where is the dad?"
 
"Ah I see." Bianca told him and then smiled softly. "He's at work. He works late tonight so it'll be just Ashley and I tonight." She told him and smiled as her daughter smiled up at Jack. "She likes you." Bianca stated and smiled.

Jack smiled then held up Ashley and as he did she grabbed his ears and he chuckled and tickled her making her giggle and let go before holding her, with her leaning on his chest and said," The funny thing is I wasn't one to ask to hold babies." he chuckled then looked down at Ashley and sighed a bit
 
"You alright Jack? It's like you want a baby but Anna doesn't." Bianca said as she observed him and Ashley a little longer. She smiled softly and then said, "In a little bit we have to get going."

Jack chuckled and them said," Its not that, I have always had this fear, that if I ever had kids I would treat them like my dad treated me." he then gave Ashley back to her mother and said," This is my greatest fear, that my child would have to endure." he then turned around in his seat and lifted the back of his short revealing all his scars
 
Bianca gasped as she looked at his scars and then she sighed. "So Anna has scars too?" Bianca asked, not aware of Anna's biggest scar. Anna's biggest scar was her being raped. Nobody but Jack knew about that.

Jack let his shirt down and turned around and nodded, and said," Yet she had to leave and go through it again." he gripped the chair then relaxed and leaned back
 
"So she went through it all over again when she left?" She asked and sighed. Anna had a rough life and well, now Bianca knew why Anna was so sensitive and fragile. "Well if you um don't mind, I should get going." Bianca told Jack as she stood up and put Ashley in her seat.

Jack nodded and said," Let me walk you to the car." he then got up and smiled at her and chuckled and as they walked he said," Anna is so strong, yet she dots herself and that the problem."
 
"Anna is a strong girl. I've seen it." Bianca told Jack and smiled. She opened the door and put baby Ashley in. "Well I'll stop by again soon. Hope Anna gets better." Bianca said before waving and getting in the car and taking off. Anna was still and the lake and just stared at her reflection in the water. Jack could have married any girl but why her?

Jack waited a bit and then after a bit and climbed into his car and went to the lake and when he saw Anna he leaned on his side against a tree and then asked," What's on your mind and don't lie."
 
Anna blinked and looked over at Jack. She just smiled softly and shrugged. "Nothing. Why would you think that?" She asked him as she stood up and gave one last glance at her reflection.

Jack walked beside her and said," Bianca told me that when you were gone you would go some where to clear your head. So come on just talk to me. What's bothering you?" he then picked up a stone and skipped it across the water
 
Anna sighed deeply and just stared at her reflection again then threw a rock at it. "It's just, when you held the baby, I noticed your face lit up. It just hurt a bit because you seem so ready to have a child while I'm not and I don't want to be the one holding us back. Also just thinking the usual. Why'd you become my husband. Out of all the girls in the world why me? I'm such a pain in the a** I don't know why you put up with me." She said and then sat back down. "I just..... I guess you could say I feel like I'm holding you back from your dreams or well your future."
