Aftermath

                                    

                                          
Josephine's POV
                          
  As I'm sitting here Sunday morning on my porch while Jack Jack is still asleep, I can't help but wonder that why would Gemma and her cousin seriously go through these lengths to drive Jackson and I apart. Is it because I have my life together? Is it because he and I have an amazing little boy together who is the smartest thing in the universe? But I refuse to let them win.
                          
  Last night I talked with Jack Jack and explained to him that the mean lady sent that other lady to daddy. The mean lady told daddy that if he didn't distance himself from me then we both would be hurt. I told him that daddy was strictly trying to protect the two of us. He understands to a point. I told him that daddy would be over today to talk to us both. But I'm still hurt. He pushed me away yet again. The first time was when they messed with the dna results of Jack Jack and Jackson. Like what the legitimate hell does hurting a child accomplish? Absolutely nothing.
                          
~Jack Jack~ Momma? 
~Josephine~ Yeah my sweet boy? 
~Jack Jack~ Is daddy coming over today? 
~Josephine~ Yeah he is. Waiting for him to call me to let me know. 
                          
He runs back inside the house. I seriously hope that Jackson comes over for the sake of our child.  Just as I am about to walk inside to start breakfast for us. My phone rings, it's Jackson. 
                          
Phone Conversation 
                          
~Josephine~ Morning
~Jackson~  Morning. Is it still okay that I come by for breakfast? 
~Josephine~ Yeah. He asked if you were still coming over today. He's afraid you are going to cancel on us again...
~Jackson~ I definitely do deserve that. I'm not surprised anymore that he didn't want to stay with me Friday  night. That is my fault and my fault alone. I should of gotten ahold of someone to tell you what was happening with me but I kept it isolated big time. I understand if you don't want me anymore.
~Josephine~ It isn't that I don't want to be with you anymore. It's the fact that you left me in the dark and Jack Jack was hurt. I get that you were protecting us but damn it, You knew she was related to Gemma.. 
                          
Jackson's POV
                          
Hearing how upset she is with me, makes me nearly feel as if she doesn't want me anymore and I honestly have nobody to blame but myself. She means everything to me and I can't lose her or our son because I was too pig headed to say anything to her. But what she says next scared me...
                          
~Josephine~ You knew she was related to Gemma. Do you not want me anymore? Do you not want Jack Jack anymore? 
~Jackson~ (Without a doubt I want these two forever) I want y'all more than anything. But I know my word doesn't mean shit anymore to you. I'm sorry. I won't stop....
~Josephine~ If you don't stop by, your breaking your promise to Jack Jack. I never said your word doesn't mean shit to me, because I know you still love me. I just need actions. Actions mean more than words. I can say anything like I love our son, but saying it and showing it are two different things to me. Please come over. I do miss you so much. 
~Jackson~ I'm on my way. Be there in about 10 minutes. Need anything?
~Josephine~ Nope we are good here. Thank you. 
                          
I hang up with her. I know one more fuck up and it could possibly be the absolute end of the relationship. I tell Grams to go ahead and file a no contact order against everyone related to Gemma because she won't stop making my life a living hell by using people she knows to get her way. I will never return to her. I'm done with her and everyone who disrespects Josephine and our son. I swing by the store and get an apology bouquet of flowers for Josephine and I pick up matchbox cars for Jack Jack.
                          
As I'm pulling into her driveway, my phone rings from an unknown number. Normally I wouldn't answer these but Grams informed me that I need to give Gemma a verbal warning before I just file the no  contact order on her. 
                          
Phone Conversation 

                          
~Jackson~ Hello? 
~Gemma~ Hey baby...
~Jackson~ When will you get the damn hint that I no longer want to hear or speak to you. If you keep contacting me I will get a no contact order against you, and everyone you are related too. 
~Gemma~ Wouldn't want anything to happen to your son would you? 
~Jackson~ You threaten my son and girlfriend and I'll give the warden every single message and letter you have sent me. Yes those do include the ones containing the threats to kill my family. Leona hit my son the other day. That's low. Contact me again, I'm filing the paperwork today. Yes it includes protective orders for Josephine and Jack Jack. Leave me alone.
                          
I hang up the phone and gently lay my head on the stirring wheel. I should of never entertained the idea of that stupid chick. I hear my car door open and I see Josephine sitting there next to me. She looks worried...
                          
~Josephine~ Are you okay? 
~Jackson~ She called and I told her to never contact myself or you again. Then told her the warden would be made well aware of the threats that where made against you and Jack Jack. Grams is filing the paperwork for a protective order for the 3 of us. The no contact order is for the three of us as well as none of her friends or family are allowed to be the middle person for us. I'm not risking y'all again. 
~Josephine~ Jack Jack wanted to run out here to see  you but I wanted to make sure you were okay first. 
~Jackson~ I'm okay. Thank you. 
                          
She opens the car door to get out but she turns to me and kisses me on the lips. She leans in closer to me and I gently hold her neck as we kiss. We slowly stop and she smiles at me as if it were the first time for us kissing each other. She walks inside and I see my boy running towards me. I squat down and he tackles me. I love how they make me feel. I carry the flowers and the bag of cars inside. I place the flowers behind Josephine on the counter and head into the living room to show Jack Jack his toys I got for him as well. I have his bag of clothes from the other day with me in my car. 
                          
As we are playing with the cars I hear Josephine gasp from the flowers. She comes running into thank me. 
                          
~Josephine~ Thank you they are absolutely gorgeous. 
~Jackson~ Your welcome. I wanted you to know how sorry I was. 
~Josephine~ I forgive you. But mess up again... 
~Jackson~ I won't I promise. I love you both so much. 
                          
We end up going out to breakfast and spending the entire day together. She is such a strong woman. She is mine. Time to rebuild the relationship with us and our son.
