I'm so thrown and I don't know what to do (For Jack)

Hayley sat in her apartment staring at the six sticks spread out on her bathroom counter. Every single one was telling her the same thing and she had absolutely no idea how that was possible. Rebekah's words came back to haunt her, and she twitched away from them.

That wasn't possible.

One was, and she'd been a bit fretful for a couple of weeks, waiting for her period, which hadn't come and was what had prompted the drugstore run, the artifacts of which were now spread out in front of her. That didn't explain the moon, no, but maybe that was just a coincidence.

What was troubling, though, was...it was a little early. Granted, her periods had never been all that regular. And a couple of weeks before the full moon, she'd bled--true, only a little, but she didn't tend to have heavy ones, either, so. That, actually made it more likely she had been fertile with Jack and not using the condom was...a mistake.

That still made it...just a bit over two weeks. The test shouldn't really be able to work, yet, but she'd been a little freaked by the lack of a period. Decided to see. She'd been tired, achy, throwing up. Thought she had the stomach flu. But the tenderness in her breasts...well, she'd put that down to her period in New Orleans.

Which had to have been it, right? Just a confluence of coincidences and...okay, so the test was picking it up a little early, but. Well. Jack was from the future, right? Maybe that had something to do with it.

Please, God, let that have something to do with it.

Swallowing back the nerves, she knew she had to find out, so she wrapped one of the digital tests that read the most clearly in a paper towel, stuck it in her pocket, and headed downstairs to his apartment. Fidgeting at the door for a moment or two, she finally made herself knock and hoped he was there.

Jack was there. Jack was even there, awake, and wearing all his clothes.

It didn't take him long to answer the door, with something like surprise. A split second glance at Hayley's face though, and he stepped back to let her in. "Hey. What's wrong?"

He was definitely starting to think she was... cagey and high strung? But he stepped back further into the room, head inclined slightly. "All right...." Patient as could be. "You want a cup of coffee?" He didn't even have alcohol in the place, anymore.

The sound that came out of Jack's throat was probably not reassuring. Since it was, you know, a sort of panicky sound, accompanied by him going pale, and his head going over to read the test result. Like, everything else she said? Went right out of his head at the first moment of 'holy fuck, no' reaction that went on in his head.

Honestly, he'd done kids. Sort of. Ask Alice just how well he'd done, though, with his own and with hers. Hell, ask Jasmine's mother how good he was with kids. Because mostly? He killed them. Or avoided them. Or failed to be involved with them and ticked them off, by not growing older and... that he hadn't said something containing the words no and fuck aloud and repeatedly was probably some kind of miracle.

He shook his head after a moment. "I'm sorry, what was the question?" There was a question in there somewhere, right?

"What?! No!" Though there was a whole other story in there, that was half-truth and half-lie and good luck ever getting him to do more than snark off about it while he groused about birth control in the rain. "I mean, I don't know if you're going to die, but if you do it won't be because I implanted some kind of alien with teeth and claws in you! As far as I know, and I'm basing it on experience with a human so I could be off, my sperm works just the same as every other guy's. Okay, well, maybe a little more determined or something, but No!."

"I signed up for it as much as anyone having sex and being too idiotic to slow down and use a condom or ask about birth control signs up for it." He actually wanted to throw up and, god, he knew that made him an ass, but - god, this was not good. "Sit down. I'll... find you a glass of water or something."

"I'm getting you a glass of water, sweetheart, not proposing." Because yeah, been there, done that, had the scars to prove it. He did get her a glass of water, though, and took it over to her and then flopped in the chair across from her. Yes. Flop. Without grace. "So, how long is werewolf gestation supposed to be, again?"

"I really hate to ask the obvious, but did you have sex with anyone before me?" No moral judgement, there, and maybe he was grasping at straws, but sometimes the obvious answer was... the answer.

"Great." He sounded really enthused by that. Then realized it and sort of forced a smile. Sort of. He still looked like he was on the verge of either a panic attack or throwing up, but he was pulling it back together. Sort of. A little. "Make an appointment with a doctor. It'll make you feel better."

Jack wasn't coming right out with saying it, but there was no way on earth he was parenting a kid. Or getting near one, if he could help it. Blaine was a little young for his comfort, to be honest. But... didn't mean he wasn't reasonably nice to her. "Let me know what you find out."

"We live in the same building, Hayley," he pointed out, with some weary amusement. "Let me know what you find out, when you find it out. Let me know if you need anything." She was new. She had no support system. They barely knew each other, but he could be at least quasi-decent, regardless. Or, well, try.

He stood up when she did, and walked her to the door. He looked worried but also - yeah, a lot going on in his head, and on an emotional level. He was really emotional, even by human standards. "All right," he agreed. "Thanks."
